HERO TO ZERO
Drinking champagne, eating caviar
Drivin' around town in a big flashy car
Got two hits both at number one
Yeah, everybody says I'm a son of a gun

Got a big mansion on the top of a hill
Flying my jet gives me such a thrill
Got me an island in a great big sea
Yeah, I can see you but you can't see me

But when the hits stop coming
And the cash begins to dry up
And you change your crystal
For plastic and a paper cup

From hero to zero
The world looks good when you're at the top
From hero to zero
You feel so bad when you start to drop, yeah

Sitting in your room doing nothin' at all
Can't use the gold hangin' on the wall
Thinking ‘bout times when you used to be
Now the bubble's burst and it's plain to see

How the mighty fall
When they know they're on the way down
You were hailed as a king now
You know that you feel like a clown

From hero to zero
A king of the hill sitting on your throne
From hero to zero
You're sittin' in a room feeling all alone
From hero to zero
The world looks good when you're at the top
From hero to zero
You feel so bad when you start to drop
From hero to zero - From hero to zero

THAMES DELTA BLUES
With his tonsils and sneakers, guitar in hand
Hundred watt speakers and his traveling band
He's got his traveling band

Well from Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans too
Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
That was his nom-de-plume

Listenin' to his heroes - paying his dues
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues

Like all his heroes he was something to see
Lit up the stage like a Christmas tree
Just like a Christmas tree – woo

Didn't care for business he rose to the top
Said "I'll roll 'til I'm old
Gonna rock 'til I drop
Gonna rock 'til I drop

Listenin' to his heroes - paying his dues
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues

Picked up the blues from across the pond
John Lee, Muddy, moving him on

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues

Over in London the sound was heard
Now he's Mississippi bound to spread the word
Yeah he's spreading the word

You know he played with his heroes - Lived out his dreams
Gibson guitar and his faded blue jeans
Got the faded blue jeans

Lonesome Jaxman was his nom-de-plume
He's the boy from Brixton with the Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues
Thames Delta Blues
He's got the Thames Delta Blues...
...He was somthing to see...

FLAT BUSTED (AND OUT OF GAS)
Well it's all over town
I'm back in the lost and found
And can't figure out who
Stuck me in this place that I'm in
Was it the tall blonde my downfall
Or the writing on my body and all over the wall

Hey everybody there was my friend
You know I'd do it over again
Now I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you

Well here we go again
Well we're spinnin' our wheels on the road again
When right of nowhere
We're hijacked by these chicks from the zoo
Well by the mornin' we was lookin' pale
The man in blue wants our money for bail
My lawyer said it's sink or swim
I swear I'm never drinkin' again

Now I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you

You know it never fails
Try to be good but my train derails
You know I work so hard
Try to be good fall asleep in my car
You know it can't be true
Thought I was smart but I ain't got a clue
All this frustration, it's got me again
I always end up back where I began

So take it from one whose nose
Knows all about things he'll never disclose
Unless it comes down to playin' that rhythm and blues

Cause it's one for the money, two for the show
Three for the party, hey baby let's go
Just take me where you want to go
And don't let anybody know

That I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you

You know I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got, I got you - and your wallet, too

I FEEL FINE
Something good is coming
Big fish on the line
I can feel it biting
It's about time - that I feel fine

Got my cards on the table
I'm gonna let them ride
I'm ready willing and able
It's about time - that I feel fine, yeah

Drifting down that lazy river - High on a sea of dreams
Stay away old Mr. Trouble
You ain't got nothing on me, yeah

Got a secret in my pocket - Blackjack and a dime
Gonna burn away all my worries
It's about time - that I feel fine

No I ain't gonna hurry - I got nothin' on my mind
I'm gonna kick back & take it easy
It's about time - that I feel fine
Said it's about time - that I feel fine, yeah

Gonna cruise down old man river
Big fish on the line - It's about time
I feel fine - I feel fine

I’M A ROCK ‘N ROLLER
Well I tried to like country
But it gave me the blues don't you know
And I tried to like jazz
But it wore out my shoes to the soul
Well I ain't no criminal ain't no saint
Ain't complaining and don't get faint
Got a job that I can't refuse - And I won't be late

I'm a rock 'n roller, yeah I'm a rock 'n roller
Gonna rock 'n roll you all night long

Well I put on a ballad and pretend that it's hot but it's not
And the harder I try the new music just don't hit the spot
Well I ain't no criminal ain't no saint
Ain't no whiner, don't get faint
Excuse me if I sound rude - I got a job to do

I'm a rock 'n roller, yeah I'm a rock 'n roller
I'm a rock 'n roller, yeah I'm a rock 'n roller
Gonna rock 'n roll you all night long

Well I can't take classical cause I ain't old what a shame
And when rap makes me feel like a gangster, I ain't to blame
Well I ain't no criminal, ain't no saint
Ain't complaining, don't get faint
Got to keep rocking I can't stop - or I'll blow my top

I'm a rock 'n roller, I'm a rock 'n roller
Gonna rock 'n roll you all night long...

HIT THE GROUND RUNNING
I'm ready, my suitcase is packed
I got my love and my life on my back
We'll meet the boys, the bus is outside
We'll hit the road, got to go for a ride

It makes me crazy - I like me crazy
I'm gonna leave all my worries behind
And put the real world out of my mind

I'm gonna hit the ground running
That's what I do to survive
And when I hit the ground running
I'll play my guitar and fly

I'm jamming on from town to town
Ain't got no time for things bringing me down
This lonely road, no sign of an end
Ain't seen my woman since I don't know when

It makes me crazy - I like me crazy
But when it comes down to push and shove
I tell myself it's a labor of love

I'm gonna hit the ground running
That's what I do to survive
I'm gonna hit the ground running
Play my guitar and fly

We're finally home, the end of the line
I grab my suitcase and I'm waving good-bye
Just sitting 'round time on my hands
Waiting for my next one night stand..Yeah

And then I hit the ground running
That's what I do to survive
Ya know I hit the ground running
Play my guitar and fly

I'm gonna hit the ground running
That's what I do to survive
I'm gonna hit the ground running
Play my guitar and fly

LOOKING FOR YOU
I'm on a tightrope but never look back
Too many things that seem to distract
I'm on the ocean but I never dive in
Too many reasons don't know where to begin

But it just beats bumming around
Keeps my feet on the ground - Looking for you

I'm on a mountain but I never look down
Too many times that I feel like a clown
I'm in a jungle but it feels like L.A.
Another time, another place, another day

But it just keeps foolin' around
It keeps my feet on the ground - Looking for you

I know I was wrong to let you go – Tell me something
Tell me you still want to know - Tell me so

I'm in the city but I don't walk around
Too many faces bringing me down
I hit the street searching high searching low
Too many places but nowhere to go

But it just beats messing around
It keeps my feet on the ground - Looking for you
I keep looking for you

LONG TIME COMING
Just a boy of seventeen
Left school to chase a dream
Hard times – the mills closed down
No one working in old steel town

So he practiced 'til his fingers bled
It might be a long time – a long time coming

Joined a band to pay his dues
Playing hard the three river blues
Iron city house rocking making the scene
One way out is his rock 'n roll dream

Played all night 'til he was half dead
It might be a long time . . .

Still playing the same old town
Lots of new faces coming around
The years roll by and they all know
The boy's still making that big blue sound

Holding on to that dream
Even though it's a long time
It's a long time, a long time coming
Gonna be a long time, a long time coming

SEX WITH THE EX
Here come that woman, holy smoke
Wo, it's my ex old lady, ain't no joke
She's really styling, looking mighty fine
That piece was mine, way back in my prime

Ain't it kind of funny, how the times can be strange
But baby I'm responsible now
You know you can trust me - Baby I've changed
All I need from you is a smile

I got good taste at least, the fellows say
You know they're always tipping their hat
Just watch the way that lady packs that dress
Woo – don't get no better than that

I can't believe I let her get away
Thought that I was smarter than that
I'd walk upon the water, turn night into day
I'd do anything to get my baby back

Save me, lady - you know I'm trying to pass the test
Slay me, baby - nothing could be better than
Sex with the Ex

I'll keep her talking with a little wine
Some cool mood lighting might do
A little teddy or a silk negligee'
Now I can see that on you

So give it up baby just one more time
Remember how we played the game
Slide on over here if you'd be so kind
'Cause if you don't it'll be a crying shame

Save me, lady - you know I'm trying to pass the test
Slay me, baby - nothing could be better than
Sex with the Ex

Save me, lady - you know I'm trying to pass the test
Slay me, baby - nothing could be better...

SELF-MEDICATED
Well I'm chemically imbalanced and that's for sure
Leave it to me and I'll find a cure
Well my friends all tell me I look such a fright
But I'll get the combination right
People say that it's self-abuse
I put my script to such good use

'Cause I'm self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated like I knew I should
Self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated & I do it good.
Alright

Well the doc says I'm chemically out of wack
Hey I know that, gimme my money back
And the doc says ya know that I'll be alright
So I medicate myself day and night
I'm all wired up, runnin' round the floor
I have to calm down and do it some more

'Cause I'm self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated like I knew I should
Self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated & I do it good.
Alright
C'mon boys

One beer short of a six pack - A three wheel cadillac
A sandwich short of a picnic - A sure fire heart attack
One wave short of a shipwreck - One grape short of a bunch
One song short of a sound check - So what If I'm out to lunch

Well I'm self medicated for so damn long
Well it ain't my fault that I got it all wrong
My friends all tell me I look such a fright
But I say I'll get the combination right
So consecrated, don't make a mistake
It's not easy being perfect, so give me a break

'Cause I'm self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated like I knew I should
Self medicated, so dedicated
Self-medicated & I do it good.
Alright...
Hahaha whoa

I think you've had enough - I want more than enough!
Where are we? Oh yeah
Self medicated cause it feels so good

Self medicated like I knew I could
Self medicated never looking back
Self medicated like a heart attack.
Alright

MEAN VOODOO WOMAN
Just a shy boy from the country with trembling knees
He hit the big city with a wild curiosity
Then he met the Voodoo woman made his blood boil a thousand degrees
And now she's got him on the run hiding out, crying, begging, "please"

And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history

Played all the cards so she'd end up owning my soul
And ran all the numbers left me helpless spinning out of control
Then she granted all my wishes said she'd take me from a pawn to a king
But she left me in a trance then she played me like a toy on a string

And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
I'm blind to her mission 'cause I can't see

Started when she ran her fingers up and down my spine
Knew that I was hooked tThe moment that she caught my eye
Took me in her room - now I know that I'll never return
And now I'm left feeling helpless all I got is the lesson I learned, yeah

I finally made up my mind so tired of the misery
I took a chance, slipped away at the first opportunity
Yeah I thought it would be easy but my luck ran out can't you see
Once she's got you in her grasp then you know that you'd never be free

Mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history...

VOODOO WOMAN BLUES
Got a mean woman
No she can't be true

Two timing woman
Lord knows she can't be true

Got tricky voodoo
Sure work good on you

Love that woman
Lord - nothing I can do

Love voodoo woman
Nothing I can do

So pray to the good Lord
Don't let it happen to you

SOAKIN’ THE BONE
Where was Nero when Rome burned? He wasn't worried 'bout the flames.
The cat didn't play no fiddle, he had his mind on better games.
He was down in the cellar with a girl he called B-Betty Lou,
Drinking juice from the grape vine, Chianti BC '52.
The Roman city was burnin', but Nero didn't face it alone,
He was soakin the bone,
Just soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it.

Napoleon he said to Josie, "I'm gonna rule the world for a start."
Josephine said, "Hey Nappy, you're crazy!
Would you rather shake it down Bonaparte?"
The world was there to be conquered, Napoleon, he couldn't leave home,
'Cause he was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it.

About the Spanish Armada, it didn't faze Sir Francis Drake.
20,000 gun-totin' galleons, but Frankie didn't quiver or quake.
He was down on the beach head, rollin' in the pebbles and stones,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it.

He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,

Oh.

IT HURTS ME TOO
You said you were hurtin', almost lost your mind,
The man you love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you,
It hurts me too, it hurts me too, yeah

He loves another woman, but I love you,
But you love him, and I don't know what to do.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you,
It hurts me too, yeah-ee-yeah, it hurts me too, yeah listen baby.

You love him more, when you should love him less,
Why sneak up behind him and take his mess,

BAD BAD LOVIN’
Bad bad lovin', sure makes a man feel good,
She's only trying to have a little fun, and she's so misunderstood.

Bad bad lovin', straight from the heart and soul,
My baby needs a whole lotta love and it's too much rock and roll.

Tongue of fire lickin' my skin,
Teeth and nails like needles and pins,
Hot to the body, sweet to the taste,
I feel her lips all over my face.
She give me chills and fever, she gets me weak at the knees,
She doesn't have to work so hard, 'cause I could be so easy to please.

Bad bad lovin', my! how the girl has grown,
She used to be untouchable, now I just can't leave her alone.

Bad bad lovin', sure makes a man feel good,

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.

Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run,

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.

The city lights turn my blues into gold.

Gotta hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'm tired of layin' back and hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, whoo! And I'll be citybound, yeah!

I ain't no country boy, just a homesick man,
Gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'll get off on Main street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud, whoa,
When I see my Inner City child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud, whoa yeah.

'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
I'm a fool, (fool for the city)
A fool for the city, (fool for the city)

ANGEL OF MERCY
In all this confusion, so sad to be alone,
In darkness and shadows - a place I call home.

You kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.

And now more than ever, in these ever-changing times,
Your love can help me, ease my troubled mind.

You kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.

Bring light to my blindness, and shelter from the rain,
Angel of mercy when you speak my name.

Back on that dark road, I know so well.
I'm so broken hearted, but no one, no one can tell,
Angel of mercy.

Back on that dark road, I know so well,
I'm so broken hearted, but no one, no one can tell.
Whoah oh whoah oh.

Kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.

Bring light to my blindness, shelter from the rain,
Angel of mercy, when you call my name,
Angel of mercy.

TEAR YOU DOWN
Cold nights in the city can turn a heart to stone,
I'm still cryin' and you know why I'm out here on my own.

Being here without you, it takes up all my time,
I'm tryin' to forget you, but you're still on my mind.

And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.

I'm in a crowd of people, on this uneasy street,
I'm walking blind 'til I can't see what your love done to me.

And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.

I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.

Just a temporary pleasure, caused a never-ending pain,
But if love could last forever, then we're sure to love again, love again.

And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.

I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.

I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, I don't wanna - I don't wanna tear you down.

JUMP THAT TRAIN
I gotta run, 'cause I hear it comin', I gotta jump that train.
I gotta run, 'cause I hear it comin', I gotta jump that train.
I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train.

John Lee Hooker had it all figured out,
When he said, "It's in you and it's got to come out",
I believe it's true, 'cause it worked for me before,
If ain't right the first time, try it once more.
No need to tell you 'cause it's understood,
And it feels so good, yes it feels so good.

I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain,
I got to jump, jump that train, I got to jump, jump that train,
I got to jump, jump that train, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train.

Jenny's got a face twice as long as a kite,
'Cause she didn't get everything she wanted last night.
Her daddy's got money and she should be satisfied,
With her brand new Roller and a pony to ride.
Wants to find a lover, needs to be understood,
And I know she could, yet I know she could.

I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

I gotta jump, jump that train, I gotta jump, jump that train,
I got to jump, jump that train.

I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
Whoo!

Jump that train, jump that train, c'mon baby! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...

LOUISIANA BLUES
I'm goin' to Louisiana, baby, behind the sun,
I'm goin' to Louisiana, baby, behind the sun,
I just found out my trouble's just begun.

I'm goin' to New Orleans, get me a mojo hand,
I'm goin' to New Orleans, get me a mojo hand,
Goin' to show all you women, show how to treat your man.
Oh yea

Uh huh huh huh huh uh huh huh huh huh huh

If the river was whiskey, I was a diving duck,
If the river was whiskey, I was a diving duck,
I'd swim to the bottom, drink myself back up,
I'd swim to the bottom, drink myself back up.

Mmmm Oooh oooh - Goin' to Louisiana, Louisiana

MOTEL SHAKER
Shanghaied at midnight, to some sleazy motel,
The blonde leading the blind, ah, she does it so well!
A view of the highway, four walls and a bed,
She's taking me down now and I'm so easily lead.
She's got me right there where she wants,
Where she can work me all night long.

Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, three in the morning and she wants it all.

She puts on her red dress and that's a dangerous sign,
With her first-rate body and her one-track mind.
Heart shakin' like an earthquake, just a little more fun,
When you think it's all over, well she's hardly begun.
She don't care what they can hear next door,
She just wants to get what she came for.

Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, the neighbors are knockin', but she ain't stopping.

Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, three in the morning and she wants it all.

Woo! Yeah! Shake it baby!

She loves to shake me all night long,
But in the morning she'll be gone, she'll be gone.

Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, the neighbors are knockin', she ain't stoppin',

Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, they keep on knockin', but she ain't stoppin'.

Motel shaker, motel shaker
Motel shaker, motel shaker...

PLAY DIRTY
I got a six string heater - jump in to the fire.
I got a rim shot beater, that's my desire.
Hundred-watt destroyer, gonna put you away,
Turn it up to eleven, we came to play.

If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it.
If it ain't rude it don't rock.

Play dirty, play rough.
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.

I got a mind half crazy, now ain't that sad!
I can't stop rockin', but that's too bad.
Overpowered distortion, blowin' out my brain,
Shockwaves in my body, drivin' me insane.

If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it.
If it ain't rude it don't rock.

Play dirty, play rough,
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.

Yeah!
Ah huh huh huh huh..

If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it,
If it ain't rude it don't rock.

Play d-i-r-t-y, play rough.
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.

Play dirty, play rough,
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.

Play dirty...

NOTHIN’ BUT TROUBLE
For the love of a woman, well many a man,
Has wound up cryin', tryin' to understand.
I've had my share of heartache and pain,
I'm not worried now, I'm not ashamed.

My first time lover I was just seventeen,
We made love and I was lost in a dream.
She said that nothin' would ever go wrong,
I woke up one mornin' - guess what? - she was gone.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.

So many nights I spent alone,
Just me and that damn telephone.
Holdin' for love, but waiting in vain,
The same old feelin', and it's drivin' me insane.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.

For the love of a woman, I searched high and low,
Hopin' that someday I'd be troubled no more.
I guess I was wrong in so many ways,
Now I'll be in trouble for the rest of my days.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Trouble!

Nothin' but trouble - nothin' but trouble

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble, yeah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble...

TALK TO ME BABY
I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said stop what you're doin' and come on home.
Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.

She said, " Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire,
You know I love you baby, can't stand to see you cry."
Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.

I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. Oh yeah!

She said, "Daddy don't you hurry, if you walk or fly,
You know I'll love you baby now, until the day I die".
Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.

I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
I get a real good feelin', c'mon baby,

THAT’S WHAT LOVE CAN DO
Change a cool, cool man into a nervous wreck, baby,
That's what love can do.
With a heart of gold chained around your neck,
Doesn't mean love's not for you.
Though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance.
The night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance.

Make an old man young, make a young man old,
Baby that's how love can be.
Change a hard rock heart into a jelly roll,
While your warm blood starts to freeze.
When you start to love, you feel a change of personality.
You used to be so mad, but now how crazy can you be?
And now you're stumbling like a jailbird on the run,
Love arrests you and you don't know what you've done.

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river, honey, that's what love can do.

Well, you wake feeling good, but you sleep so bad,
And you keep cryin' all the time.
To your friends' concern, you tell 'em I'm not mad,
But you think that you've lost your mind.
Though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance.
The night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance.

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river, honey, that's what love can do.

And now you're mumblin'and you don't know what you're saying,
You feel so worried 'til she looks your way again.

I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, now baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, honey, cry you a river, baby, that's what love can do.
I ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-babble, honey, that's what love can do
U-oh, U-oh, that's what love can do...

ZIG-ZAG WALK
The way you walk ain't walkin', it's something mama don't allow.
Let your hips do the talkin', and pretend you don't know how.
Ruby red, oh baby blue,
Heaven knows what I can do for you,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.

Stiletto heels in stockin's, trace the seam up to the top.
And you're daring me to touch you, but I won't know where to stop.
A little rude, that's what you say,
It must be hard to keep the wolves at bay,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.

Zig-Zag, well it's my kinda move,
Big drag if I can't cut the groove,
No stone gonna be unturned,
When you're walkin', walkin' and a-talkin',
Baby, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.
Uh, doin' that walk.

The way we love ain't lovin', don't do nothin' for my heart.
Just a physical attraction, you're the bulls-eye - I'm the dart.
At least I know the way you feel,
Don't care nothing for a love that's real,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.

Zig-Zag, walk like Marilyn Monroe,
Zig-Zag, talk like Brigitte Bardot,
No stone gonna be unturned,
When you're out there, walkin' and a talkin',
Baby, doin' the Zig-Zag walk.

I said baby, doin' the Zig-Zag walk,
Doin' that walk...
Mmmm, fontastique!
Ooh la la la!
She's doing that walk
The Zig-Zag walk...

CHOO CHOO CH’BOOGIE
Headed for the station with a pack on my back,
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack,
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack,
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack,
I pal around with democratic fellas named Mac,
So take me right back to the track.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

We reach the destination but alas! and alack!,
We need some conversation to get back in the black,
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack,
And read the Situations from the front to the back,
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack,
So put it right back in the rack, Jack.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track,
And live the life of Riley in a beaten down shack,
So when I hear the whistle I can peek through the crack,
Watch the train rollin'when it's ballin' the jack,
For I just learned the rhythm of the clickety-clack,
So take me right back to the track, Jack.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

Alright Jack! Whoo whoo.
Oi!

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track, Jack.

Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie,
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie - Take me right back to the track!.

JENNY DON’T MIND
In a movie, on a silver screen, lookin' like a angel.
Not the same now as it might've been, runnin' outta reach of your heart.

You once knew a little girl, only thing she wanted was love, your love.
It was true, every night and every day you were the only thing that she would think of.

But the light, of the stage not the light in your eye, it began to call her name.
And now you fight all the people everywhere,
'Cos they try just to share a little moment of her fame.

But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say "I love you", she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

On the video in the afternoon, playin' up the mystery.
You catch a glimpse now, but it ends too soon.

Now it fades, as the lights go down, all her love is left on the stage.
Far away, pictures on the reel ain't true.
Smilin' face that you once knew, is not so gay.

But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.

THREE WHEELED CADILLAC
Well rave on baby, don't stop,
I love the way you do the crazy bop.
Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Drivin' sideways, ninety-five,
Tell me baby, how you stay alive?
Three wheel Cadillac - she drives a three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Get on the right track baby, don't you treat me so bad.
You know they call you crazy, it must be drivin' you mad.

Three wheel Cadillac - a three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Ooh!

Drivin' backwards, fast lane,
Gonna wind up in jail again.
Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Get on the right track baby, well don't you treat me so bad,
You know they call you crazy, it must be drivin' you mad.

Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

Cadillac bop-bop - Cadillac bop-bop
Cadillac bop-bop - Cadillac bop-bop...

IT’LL BE ME
If you hear somebody knockin' on your door,
If you see something crawlin' all across the floor,
Baby, it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.

If you see a head a-peepin' from a crawdad hole,
If you see somebody climbin' up a telephone-pole,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.

Gonna look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea,
Gonna search all the forests, gonna look in every tree.

If you feel somethin' heavy on your fishin' hook,
If you see a funny face in your comic book,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.
Oh look a here now!

Yeah!

Gonna look in the city where the lights are blue,
Gonna search the countryside and all the haystacks too.

Well if you hear a voice callin' out in the night,
If you see somebody hangin' from a lampost bright,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you. Oh yeah!

Whoa!

Gonna look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea,
Gonna search all the forests, gonna look, gonna look in every tree.

Well if you see a new face on a totem pole,
If you find you a lump in your sugar bowl,
Baby it'll be me and I'll been lookin' for you.
I'll be lookin' for you, and I'll be lookin' for you,
I'll be lookin' for you, and I'll be lookin' for you,
I'll be lookin' for you, lookin', lookin' for you,
Lookin', lookin' for you, lookin', lookin' for you...

SILENT TREATMENT
I woke up last night about half past four, two police cars at my door.
Said you'd been drunk and out of control, you ran my car into a telephone pole,
Tell me baby, is it true what I heard? You never said a word.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well, I said, "Hey baby, what you tryin' to do?
The things I heard about you can't be true.
Every night you're out on the town, you run my money into the ground,
"Hey baby, were you out with the boys?" You never made a noise.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money, all my love is spent.
I don't know why but I can't get through to you.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money, all my love is spent.
I don't know why but I can't get through to you.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.
Oh yeah!

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it always drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that - (Silent treatment) (Silent treatment)
You do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that - (Silent treatment)
You do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment

Don't give me that.

DOWN THE ROAD APIECE
Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna' play,
It's just an old piano and a knocked-out bass,
The drummer man's a cat they call Kickin' McCoy,
I know you remember that old rubber-leg boy.
Mama cookin' chicken, fried in bacon grease,
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece.

Well, there's a place you really get your kicks,
Its open every night, from 'bout twelve to six.
If you wanna hear some boogie, you can get your fill,
They shoot the eight beat to you like an old steam drill.
Come on along you can to lose your lease,
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece

SEVEN DAY WEEKEND
Oh yeah! Alright!

I had myself a good job in the city,
Pushin' a pen and talkin' on the phone.
The money was good but the work was such a big drag,
I thought that my brain would turn to stone.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, I do,
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, mmm hmm.

They told me if I stayed on for a lifetime,
I'd be an office manager some day.
But my heart was never in the right place,
I only went there for the pay.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, mmm hmm,
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, Oh yeah.

Well on Friday, the weekend rolls around,
Saturday, I'm gonna rock this town.
On Sunday, won't have to worry no more,
'Cause Monday ain't so bad when there's no work in store.

I guess the money comes in handy,
It helps me pay the bills and rent.
But if I stay too long on this job,
I'll wonder where my time all went.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, doo-bah-doo.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you. Oh come on!

Whoo!

Well Tuesday, I'll hang out the beach,
Wednesday, this boy can not be reached.
Thursday, I'll stand out in the rain,
When Friday comes, I'll start all over again.

But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, you know I do!
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, mmm hmm.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, oh yeah!

LINDA LOU
Ooh well now they call my baby Patty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
Well they call my baby Betty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
She's so fine, fair and pretty, you don't know what my baby's gonna do, my Linda Lou.

When she goes strollin' down the street,
All the cats, all the cats, all the cats turn and look around.
Well now she give everybody the eye,
You never know, you never know, you never know what my baby's gonna put down.
Everybody always tells me I got the cutest little girl in town.

I'm gonna marry that girl next Saturday night,
Make her mine for the rest of my life,
From now on my rovin' days are through,
And it's all because of that chick, Linda Lou.

Linda Lou, Linda Lou,
Tell me what are you gonna do?
I had a real bad dream last night,
Honey you said, you said, you said, you said that we were through.
Well now if you ever leave, you're gonna break my poor heart in two, my Linda Lou.
Yeah.

I'm gonna marry that girl next Saturday night,
Make her mine for the rest of my life,
Now all my rovin' days are through,

Linda Lou, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, what are you gonna do?
I had a real bad dream last night,
Honey you said, you said, you said, you said that we were through.
Well now if you ever leave, you're gonna break my poor heart in two, my Linda Lou

Before I knew it baby, I was giving my love away again.

Well, I slipped, tripped, fell on your love, you slipped your love on me.
I slipped, tripped, fell on your love, you slipped your love on me, yeah.

Getting hooked on you baby, was the last thing on my mind,
Now you got me wanting you baby, I want you all the time.
When you touch me, I lose control,

BUSTIN’ UP OR BUSTIN’ OUT
I ain't got time for chasin' rainbows,
Sitting holding hands in picture shows.
I'm a man, a man of action,
Won't you let your lips give out some satisfaction.
Got a habit of teasin' me,
Sendin' me off instead of pleasin' me.

Bustin' up, or bustin' out, c'mon baby take a choice.
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out, whatever makes your heart rejoice.

Can't be afraid to spread some joy,
Like the statue of liberty standin' tall as a baby boy.
You can dream, you can dream your pleasures away,
That ain't the way I spend my night or day.
Always accusin' me of someone else,
When it comes to the love, you won't even help yourself.

Bustin' up, or bustin' out, c'mon baby take a choice.
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out, whatever makes your heart rejoice.

Bustin' up, or bustin' out, c'mon baby take a choice.
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out, whatever makes your heart rejoice.
Go!

Bustin' up, or bustin' out, c'mon baby take a choice.
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out, whatever makes your heart rejoice.

We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out, c'mon baby take a choice.
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out, whatever makes your heart rejoice.

TAKE THIS HEART OF MINE
Oh, you say you're feeling nervous, the least thing makes you cry,
Sounds like a real bad case of a girl who needs a guy.
I think I know the perfect cure, the one you ought to try,
Take a heart that's full of love on which you can rely.

If you need some satisfaction,
And if you need a quick reaction,
If you're tired of bein' lonely,
'Cause I can help you if you only take this heart of mine.

I may not be a doctor who can cure your ill,
Prescribe you all those different colored hard-to-swallow pills.
My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill.
My prescription is the kind you'll love to have me fill.

If you need some satisfaction,
And if you need a quick reaction,
If you're tired of bein' lonely,
'Cause I can help you if you only take this heart of mine.

Got a love inside, that's pure as gold,
Take it's yours to have and to hold.
And if you do that baby, as we grow old,
Tell the greatest story that's ever been told.

If you need some satisfaction,
And if you need a quick reaction,
If you're tired of bein' lonely,
'Cause I can help you if you only take this heart of mine.

Take this heart of mine,
Take this heart of mine,
Take this heart of mine,
Take this heart of mine.

LOVE RUSTLER
I was movin' up an old dusty road,
I wasn't botherin' nobody, I wasn't botherin' a soul.
I saw a woman's picture on a wanted sign,
She had the face of an angel and the eyes of a child.
So I moved a little closer, just to dig her face,
I wondered why was it hangin' now, in this lonely place?

There was fine threads hangin' beneath her face, like clothes hangin' on a line.
I said watch out man, 'cause this pretty girl is guilty of an awful crime.
She'll take your love, she'll stand you up, she'll make you feel ten feet tall.
She cuts you down, you hit the ground, you and your heart of gold.

They call her the love, the love rustler, yeah.
They call her the love, love, love, love, love, love, love,
Love rustler, ooh yeah.

So I moved on up, on in to town, just to see if this rustler, if she could be found.
Well lo' and behold, to my surprise, she laid a kiss on me, hotter than a brandin' iron.
She came on tough, and she came on strong,
She cowtied my soul, now I can't leave here alone.

And when she told me to buck, I bucked, she told me to moo, I mooed.
When she told to jump, I jumped, she told me to woo, I wooed.
She ran her spurs into my mind, she rode me in to the ground.
If I had the will or strength, I'd crawl on out of town.

They call her the love, love, the love rustler. Oh yeah!
They call her the love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love,
Love rustler, oh yeah!
They call her the love, love, love, love, love, love,love, love,
Love rustler, oooh!

Oh, the love, the love rustler .... do you feel alright? oh yeah
....Yippy yi yi yi, oh yeah....
C'mon baby, c'mon baby .... Lay that kiss on me now, lay that kiss on me right now,
Whoo! It feels so good! It feels so good!
I'm talkin' 'bout love, love, love - Love, love, love -
I'm talkin' 'bout love, yeah! I'm talkin' 'bout love, yeah!.
I'm talkin' 'bout love, ooh, yeah! I'm talkin' 'bout love, ooh, yeah! Alright.
The love rustler! The love rustler!
She runs her spurs into my mind. I just can't leave her behind.
She makes me feel like - ooh! - she makes me feel like ridin' off into the sunset -
yippie-yi-yi-yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi. Oh yeah!
Ooh! She's so rude! She's so rude! And I'm in the mood for something rude!

AIN’T LIVIN’ LONG LIKE THIS
I looked for trouble and I found it son,
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
I'd try to run but I don't think I can,
You make one move and you're a dead man, friend.

Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back,
Then left me freezin' on a steel rail rack.
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
Ain't livin' long like this.

Grew up in Houston on the wayside drive,
Son of a car hop in some all nite dive.
Dad drove a stock car to an early death,
All I remember was a drunk man's breathe.

Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
We know the story how the wheel goes 'round,
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown,
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby? Ah take it!

I live for Angel, she's a road house queen,
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
I want to love her but I don't know how,
I'm at the bottom of a jailhouse now.

Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock,
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught.
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Oh, ain't livin' long like this.
Oh no!

BACK FOR A TASTE OF YOUR LOVE
Here I come, comin' for a taste of your love,
Here I come, 'cause I like what you're doin' to me.
Little by little, bit by bit,
I'm fallin' in love all over again.

Here I come, just like I did before,
Here I come, love this time I'm sure.
It takes two to make it,
And I know I can't take it again.

Here I come, comin' for a taste of your love,
Here I come, just like I did before.

What you did, you just came down on me.
You got the lock, but baby I hold the key.
Little by little, bit by bit,
I'm fallin' in love all over again.

Comin' for a taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love.

I'm comin' for a taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love.

Comin' for a taste of your love,
Sweet, sweet taste of your love,
Comin' for a taste of your love,
Sweet, sweet taste of your love.

C-c-comin', c-c-comin', c-c-comin' for a taste of your love.
C-c-comin', c-c-comin', c-c-comin' for a taste of your love.

THERE AIN’T NO MAN THAT CAN’T BE TAUGHT
What kind of woman, makes me feel so good inside?
I try to run, but she won't let me hide.
Got me doin' things, I said I'd never do.
Using my car and my credit cards too.
And yesterday she said to me,
She's tired of ringin' my doorbell, made me give up a key.

'Nother thing about her that's really blowin' my mind,
She ain't no beauty, the love she's got is fine.
Like a cool glass of water when you're thirsty, tired and hot,
The love she gives me, it always hit the spot.
Had to leave other girls alone,
I need everything I got to take care of my home.

There ain't a horse that can't be rode,
There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought,
There ain't no man that can't be caught.

Let me tell you something else.

She changed a tiger into a lamb,
Tell you, her love sure puts this man in jam.
One night stands, my theme was sock it to 'em and run,
Never thought a girl could wrap me all around her thumb.
That's one thing men have in common,
That something is the 'mazing power of a woman.

There ain't a horse that can't be rode, There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought, There ain't no man that can't be caught.
Whoa oh oh oh!

There ain't a horse that can't be rode, There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought, There ain't no man that can't be caught.
I said,
There ain't a horse that can't be rode, There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought, There ain't no man that can't be caught.
No oh whoa - no oh whoa
There ain't no man, there ain't no man.
You've got me baby, oh you got me baby...

AND I DO JUST WHAT I WANT
Live while you're livin', 'cause you know what they said,
Don't matter how long you live, you're a long time dead.
I said no use to worry, no use to fret,
I'd like a million dollars but I ain't gonna bet.
I'm alright tonight, and I'll do just what I want.

Tell everybody in the neighborhood,
That I want to party, want to party good.
And I don't care what the people don't allow,
I'm gonna have a good time any old how.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want. Oww!

Whoo!

Live while you're livin', 'cause you know what they said,
Don't matter how long you live, you're a long time dead.
I said no use to worry, no use to fret,
I'd like a million dollars but I ain't gonna get.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want ....

When I hold you in my arms,
Love can't do no wrong,
And when I hold you tight,
Love gonna do me right.

(Tell everybody in the neighborhood!)
(I want to party, want to party good!)
And I don't care what the people don't allow,
I'm gonna have a good time any old how.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want.
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want.
I'm alroit tonoit, and I do just what I want.

Baggy suit and flashy tie, blue of knuckle, red of eye,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.

He'd sell his mother for a quid, rumour has it that he did,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.

He used to be his father's pride, 'til he spent a year inside,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground,
Iron fists, a head like a boulder - a friend like that is good to have around!

At the club he's set to pounce, girls to chat and boys to bounce,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
Oy!

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground,
Iron fists, a head like a boulder - a friend like that is good to have around!

(Wide boy), wanna buy a stereo?
(Wide boy), heard you got a truckload!
(Wide boy), need a color TV too.

(Wide boy), I'm in a spot of trouble,
I need assistance at the double,
(Wide boy), it's good to have a friend like you.

Never rich and never poor, (never poor)
Just a step outside the law, (outside the law)
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.

LET ME GET CLOSE TO YOU
Woke up with a feelin' this morning,
Feelin' I was next to you.
Can't wait another day, got to get on my way,
And make my dream come true.

Stayed up schemin' every evenin',
Workin' on the master plan.
And I ain't gonna rest 'til I get where it's best,
Right in the palm of your hand.
Talkin' 'bout right there in the palm of your hand.

Let me get close to you,
Nothing else I want to do.
'Cause close to you I'm feelin' alright,
Everything's attracted to the light.
C'mon, c'mon, take me for your lover tonight.

Burned up PCH trying to find you,
They said you were down in FLA.
Got to sell my brand new car,
Got to pawn my guitar and get my ticket today.

And I feel your love start to move me,
Shake me like a ship on the sea.
You're rockin' me smooth and slow,
Now don't ever let me go.
'Cause I love what you're doin' to me,
(Say it again, say it again),
I said I love the way you do it to me, do it.

Let me get close to you,
Nothing else I want to do.
'Cause close to you I'm feelin' alright,
Everything's attracted to the light.
C'mon, c'mon, take me for your lover tonight.

Whoo!

Let me get close to you, nothing else I want to do.
'Cause close to you I'm feelin' alright,
Everything's attracted to the light,
C'mon, c'mon, take me for your lover tonight.

LIVE NOW – PAY LATER
I've got a '57 Cadillac with Batmobile wings,
Pink and black striped interior that's fit for a king,
No money down, fifty years to pay, be glad when it's mine,
"Saw you coming!", said the dealer as I signed on the line.

Live now - pay later, Live now - pay later.

I got a fifty room country mansion up in the hills,
My landlord says I can have it, long as I pay the bills.
I bought the furniture on credit at a fabulous store,
The man said, "Next time you come in, why don't you spend a little more?

Live now-pay later, Live now-pay later

How many possesions do I possess?
I started with nothin', now I've got less.
How long will my credit last this time?
Live now-pay later, that's how it's gotta be,
If money talks, well it sure ain't talkin' to me!

My doctor told me that I'm crazy to abuse myself this way,
Too much alcohol and jelly roll, someday I'm gonna pay.
No time for tomorrow, I'm too busy havin' fun,
But when the bills come in, I know it's time for me to run.

Live now-pay later, Live now-pay later.

There's a hole in my pocket where my cash used to be,
Rubber checks and credit cards have been so good to me.
How long can I spend my life on loan? oh yeah,
Live now-pay later, that's how it's gotta be,
If money talks, well it sure ain't talkin' to me!

Oooh oooh oooh wooo, oooh oooh oooh wooo....

Live now-pay later, Live now-pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Live now,
(Live now), Whoa yeah, (Pay later)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-ee-ahh, ooooh whoa
I'm gonna bounce my checks all over the place now. Well, well, well.
I'm out of here!
I gotta run, they got me beat, whoa yeah
Time for me to run now! I gotta move on down the road.
Change my name, my address, my I.D.
I gotta run, I gotta run
Live now-pay later.
I have had my fun, yeah.
I've have had my fun.
Now it's time for me to pay.
Time for me to pay.
Yeah, I gotta run!

LOVE ZONE
Into the love zone, baby here I come.
Night time is the right time, let me be the one.

So tired of cryin', ain't gonna cry no more.
With you, baby, by my side, love's an open door.

Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in.

Inside, outside, can you feel the flow?
It's gettin' closer and closer, never let me go.

Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream,
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in.

Oooh baby, let me come in.
Oooh baby, let me come in.

Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in.

Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in.

Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in. Yeah!

DELAYED REACTION
After all is said and done, it wasn't hard to be the lonely one.
Sad, but not a tear was shed, you agreed with every word I said.
I had my new life started, I couldn't be downhearted,
Days rolled slowly by, finally you stayed out of my mind.

I filed your name under "Forgotten", and then somebody pushed the panic button.
Suddenly my nerves were shakin', I realized I could have been mistaken.
Then like they say like you're supposed ta', I'm ridin' on a roller coaster.
I found love too late, too bad she's not the waiting kind.

I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination.
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation,
Delayed reaction, Reaction, Reaction - Delayed reaction, (Reaction, Reaction).

It's a mystery to me, I don't know why our love is history,
At the time I didn't know it, and it's so easy for a fool to blow it.
You can call me a fool now, I don't feel quite so cool now.
Guess I was out of time, love was waiting somewhere down the line.

I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination.
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation,
Delayed reaction, Reaction, Reaction - Delayed reaction, (Reaction, Reaction).

My heart is growin' fonder - I don't mean Henry and I don't mean Jane.
I got the time to wonder, if it's too late to make her mine again.

I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination.
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation,
Delayed reaction, Reaction, Reaction - Delayed reaction, (Reaction, Reaction)
Delayed reaction, Reaction, Reaction - Delayed reaction, (Reaction, Reaction)

Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - whoa now no nah ha ha.
Never, No I never, said I never - I never felt like this before, no
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before,
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before...
Oh whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh.
I said delayed reaction, ay, I said delayed reaction, yeah.
I said delayed reaction, I'm talkin' bout delayed reaction.
Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - Yea yea-ee-hey yea
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before,
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before.
D-E-L-A-Y-E-D, delayed reaction - D-E-L-A-Y-E-D, delayed reaction,
yeah...
Oh, take me back to Brixton, man...

SECOND CHILDHOOD
Back in the schoolyard life wasn't so hard, but I couldn't wait to leave.
I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need.
I got into the job line, but there's no work for my kind,
No school tie and no degree, no chance for me.

I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory.
I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don't seem enough to me.
The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
You came along, the time was right - turned on the light.

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.

Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
After this deep depression, I shoulda' learned my lesson
I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine?

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.

It's hard to act my age now, I'm going through that stage now.
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
Now I don't feel so grown up, 'cause everytime you phone up,
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood,
yea-ee-ya,
I'm in my second childhood, whoa oh.

When we get together, it's crazy time.

I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, yeah.

Throw me in at the deep end, hear me when I call.

But we get together, she's another kind.

SING ABOUT LOVE
Oooh yeah!

Nothing like a rock and roll singer, feelin' good on a Saturday night,
I heard him say that he came to play, let the world know he's feelin' alright.

He said no time for the blues on the weekend,
They been beatin' on us all week long,
Forget the news in the paper, let's leave all that to later,
Lighten up with a rock and roll song.
