STRANGER IN MY HOME TOWN
Who's that stranger walking out in the cold?
Standing on the corner with his Kodachrome roll?
He may be a psychopath, he's acting so strange,
Lying to himself, saying nothing has changed.
He stares across at a house on the block,
Trying to find the courage to go over and knock.
What will he say when they open the door?
"This was my home, but it ain't no more."

He can't get Brixton, out of his system.
It seems so pathetic, yeah, but it's hard to forget it.

Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.

Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.

Who's that Peeping Tom climbing the wall?
Staring at the back yard, he's gonna fall.
He looks so suspicious, I should called the law,
I wish I could remember where I've seen him before.

Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through London town.
He acts like he's stranded, but that's how he planned it.

Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
Jump into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.

Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.

Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.

Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Stranger in my home town, whoo! Stranger in my home town. I'm just a stranger.

I'm a stranger, a stranger - I'm a stranger, a stranger ...

LOOSE ENDS
I got a girl, she likes to swing from a tree,
Love that woman, but she don't love me.
I've got a check book, but got no money,
I told her that, she didn't think it was funny.

I've got a car, but the damn thing won't start,
I could fix it, but I cant find the spare parts.
I've got a stereo with kick-ass speakers,
But the sound is getting weaker and weaker.
Everything I got is less than perfect, I should be angry, but it just ain't worth it.
One of these days, I'm gonna make it right, tie it up good and tight.
Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends,
One of these nights I'm gonna tie it up tight.

I've got a suit, but the sleeves are too long,
Perfect fit, if I had arms like King Kong.
I've got a cellar full of old suit cases,
Outdated tickets to romantic places.

I've got a jigsaw with one piece missing,
I've got a radio with no time to listen.
I've got a house with a leak in the ceiling,
I've got a heart but I've got no feeling.
Everything I got is less than perfect, I should be angry, but it just ain't worth it.
One of these days I'm gonna make it right, tie it up good and tight.

Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends,
One of these nights I'm gonna tie it up tight.

I'm gonna make that woman love me - get a good job earn some money -
Buy a car with an eight track stereo.
Buy a new suit, take a sea cruise, fix my house the way that I choose.
Some day I'm gonna get up and go, go, go! Go, go, mmmm, mmmm.

Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends, loose ends.
Tying up a loose end, tying up a loose end,
Tying up a loose end, tying up a loose end, ahhhh.

FULL TIME LOVER
Long distance operator try another line,
There's no reply on this one, what a waste of time!
She can't be working, and she can't be in her bed,
She can't be home now, guess I'll drop a line instead.

In my wild days I had a girl on every page,
Now some don't want me and the others are engaged.
My little black book is about to bite the dust,
My telephone bell can't ring through all that rust.

I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
Now my one night stands are so hazy,
And my social life is so crazy.

Hey operator, one more call before I'm done,
Forget Yolanda, I know Zelda is the one.
Last time I saw her, she was moving to Hong Kong,
She said she'd love me - 'til the real thing comes along.

I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
Now my one night stands are so hazy,
And my social life is so crazy.

If it wasn't for me, my house would be deserted.
If it wasn't for me, I would have someone to hold on to.

I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.

I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover...

DEAD END STREET
Well, I was raised on a back street,
Time's were tough, but kind of bittersweet.
Left school when I was still a child,
Hit the streets and started running wild.
Hanging out in the neighborhood,
People said, "They're up to no good!"
Never thought I'd ever make it through,
Hey boy, what you gonna do?

Crosstown traffic, sirens wailing, screaming in my ear.
It's got me on the run, gotta move on out of here.

I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street,
Well it's got me beat, on a dead end street.
I can't go no further, won't somebody rescue me,
From this dead end street, oh yeah.

They still talk about the big fight,
On the backstreet at midnight.
Everybody heard the gunfire,
Saw him dragged into the Black Maria.
Now my best friend is doing time,
He's committed to a life of crime.
Got a feeling I'll be next in line,
I wonder how can I get out in time?

I stepped into a movie, this can't be reality.
If I wasn't so lucky, I wonder where I'd be?

I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street,
Well it's got me beat, on a dead end street.
I can't go no further, won't somebody rescue me,
From this dead end street, oh yeah.

Crosstown traffic, sirens wailing, screaming in my ear.
It's got me on the run, gotta move on outta here.

I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street,
Well it's got me beat, on a dead end street.
It's got me walking, it's got me talking,
I'm on a dead end street, I'm on a dead end street.
Yeah, yeah-ee-yeah, yeah, whoo...

BE MY WOMAN
Got no time for me, you say I should forget you, but there ain't no way.

Always too busy working hard, all you give me is your calling card.
I had to talk to you so bad. I tried to tell you 'bout the dreams I had.

But when I call you, you're so cold, everytime you put my love on hold.
Did you call for me? I guess not. Another night that could have been so hot.
I had my heart set right on you. Guess you found some other thing to do.

If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.

Be my woman, be my woman, yeah,
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah.
You got me where you want, baby here I stand - be my woman.

I had to talk to you last night, said you'd be working 'til the broad daylight.
All work and no play, what a drag, you could be riding in my brand new Jag.
When I called you this time, you said you'd come tonight and I felt fine.
But then you rang back, what you say? "Same time, same place, some other day."

If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.

Be my woman, be my woman, yeah,
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah.
You got me where you want, baby here I stand - be my woman.

I've got the love girl, if you've got the time,
Got some wild ideas, with no reason or rhyme.
If you steal my heart, it'll be alright,
Take it, don't break it, I'll be mad if you don't make it tonight, oh.

If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can,
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can,
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.

Be my woman, be my woman, yeah,
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah.
You got me where you want, baby here I stand - be my woman.

Be my woman, yeah! Be my woman, yeah! Be my woman, yeah! Yeah, yeah!

NO HARD FEELINGS
Come back, baby, talk it over again, maybe we can still be friends.
Cross your heart, don't you tell me no lies, dry my crying eyes.
Is your heart as cold as it seems? Why do you laugh at all of my broken dreams?
There goes another goodbye scene - by now I should be wise.

Love, you hit me when I was down, you had me chained and bound,
Now you want to smile and walk away.
Girl, I tried to make it right, now I'm too weak to fight,
Baby this is all I hear you say -

No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.

Maybe easy for you to explain, falling out of love once again.
Life's too short and you've gotta be free - there ain't no time for me.
So I lay back here on my bed, no more tears to be shed.
No confusion, I know what you said - our love could never be.

Love, you hit me when I was down, you had me chained and bound,
Now you want to smile and walk away.
Girl I tried to make it right, now I'm to weak to fight,
And baby this is all I hear you say -

No hard feelings, don't need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.

Another song in my book - nice words, but there ain't no hook.
Turn the page 'cause I can't bear to see what love has done to me.
So I lay back here on my bed, no more tears to be shed,
No confusion, I know what you said, our love could never be.

No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.

No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had. No, no, no, no.
No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.

BABY, CAN I CHANGE YOUR MIND?
Tell me that I'm dreaming, girl I hope I am,
All this talk of leaving, it's hard to understand.
I thought I heard you whisper, something 'bout goodbye,
I thought I saw you walk away, but I never heard you cry.

When I wake up this time, baby, will you still be gone?
Or will you be here by my side, saying, "Baby, you're the one."?

I remember talking deep into the night,
Stumbling over simple words that refused to come out right.

When you said your mind was made up, nothing I could say,
Was it such a hard decision, for you to walk away?

Now I'm crying, I have a reason to,
I keep on trying,
Moving down the line,
I'm not too far behind,
Don't treat me so unkind,
Baby can I change your mind?

Now I still remember cold November nights,
Willing to surrender, knowing it was right.

Love me while the fire was burning,
It felt so warm inside.
The flame of love was shining brightly,
It never should have died.

Now I'm crying, I have a reason to,
I keep on trying,
Moving down the line.
I'm not too far behind,
Don't treat me so unkind,
Baby can I change your mind?

TOO LATE THE HERO
I got a message from a girl in distress,
She was a prisoner in an apartment address.
But like a hero to the scene of the crime,
I lost my way and there was so little time.

Stood at a bus stop on a cold rainy day,
Tire through a puddle, threw some mud in my face.
No bus arrived so I just crawled into town,
I took my chances on the underground.

Subway station, wall to wall people, I couldn't squeeze onto a train.
In desperation, I looked for a taxi, but, oh, the searching was in vain.

Too late the hero, from ten down to zero.
Too late the hero, why did she say, "Boy, boy you're way too late!"?
She said "Boy, boy you're way too late!"

I caught a train but there was nowhere to sit,
Reached for a strap, I thought I heard something rip,
There on the Central Line, my pants fell apart.
Train broke down and we were stuck in the dark.

Subway tunnel claustrophobia, best suit, wrinkled and damp,
Finally when I crawled up to her door, she said, "Goodbye chump!"
Too late the hero, from ten down to zero.
Too late the hero, why did she say, "Boy, boy you're way too late!"?
She said "Boy, boy you're way too late!"

Did I see someone in the shadow? Did I hear footsteps on the floor?
Did I hear laughter in the background just before she slammed that door?

I turned around and I headed home, I was tired, rejected and cold.
Missed the last train, left around midnight, so I walked that lonesome road.
Too late the hero, from ten down to zero.
Too late the hero, why did she say, "Boy, boy you're way too late!"?
She said "Boy, boy you're way too late!"
(Too late, too late the hero) Way too late.
(Too late, too late the hero) Way too late.
(Too late, too late the hero) Way too late,
Too late hey hey hey...

Cigarettes in the ash tray, and I don't even smoke.
Someone's been drinking my best booze, I can tell 'cause the seal is broke.
I left my bedroom slippers last night at the foot of my bed,
And now they're in my living room, and my bed was left unmade.

Somebody been sleepin' in my bed,
Somebody been sittin' in my chair.

They ate up all my food, and I don't stand for such.
Don't tell me it was a woman, 'cause a woman don't eat that much.
My brand new silk pajamas, they were balled up in a chair,

Love to us was some kind of game.
In all my letters, said I never would forget her - now,
I can't recall her name.

The first time I was a fool, I never knew that love could be so cruel.
It happened to me again - Third time lucky.

I was in love one time, I thought it was the real thing,
But I kept the feelings to myself.
Afraid to show it, expected her to know,
It was the reason she found someone else.

Look at me, I'm back in love again,
No reason to lie, there'll be no need to pretend.
I've got a feeling that's burning me up,
All I need is one sip of your sweet lovin' cup.

Oh babe, I can't go on without you,
Love is something that I never knew.
Oh babe, I'm really losing my mind,
Come to me baby just one more time, yeah.

Every girl that I see go by,
Sure makes me hungry for my sweet honey pie.
I get dizzy and my knees get weak,
My hand starts trembling and I can't hardly speak.

Oh babe, I can't go on without you,
Love is something that I never knew.
Oh babe, I'm really losing my mind,
Come to me baby, just one more time, yeah.

Somebody help me, well I'm fallin' apart,
I need something to kill this feeling deep in my heart.
I start to shake and shiver, send in the nurse,
If I don't get some loving soon, I'm gonna get worse.

Oh babe, I can't go on without you,
Love is something that I never knew.
Oh babe, I'm really losing my mind,
Come to me baby, just one more time, yeah.

PARADISE ALLEY
Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time.
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed, you're loaded and you're fadin' fast.

All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered, now your heart's in pain.
Makin love for a livin', you've given up, all you've got's a heart of stone.
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home.

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.

Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.

You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
To think of all the love I had for you.

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.

Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone.
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home.

Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home,

You've got an ache deep down in your love bone,
Come on check in, in a hurry,
Under cover there's no need to worry.
Stay all night if you got the time, or just one hour is fine, ooh so fine.
Look in the mirror above your bed, yeah,
Start to wonder if you're bein' mislead.

Between heaven and hell, check in to the Boogie Motel

Desk clerk's heart beats like a hammer,
Got a smile like a beat-up piano.

Room service, send me something nice, so nice.
Low down and nasty, ain't no Savoy!

LOVE IN MOTION
Makin' love, and the world stops turning.
Your body's so warm and your lips are like honey.
Into the night, well I'm driftin' and driftin',
I'm caught in a dream, I'm lost but not lonely.

The world stops turnin' and time stands still,
Feels like the night will last forever,
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)

Deep inside, I can feel it comin',
A river of love, rollin' over my body.
Driftin' with the tide,
I don't care where it takes me,
Carry me on, roll me over and over.

The world stops turnin' and time stands still,
Feels like the night will last forever,
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)

No time to worry, no time to lose,
I can't see clearly but I can't be confused.
No love can be as strong as this,
I can't take it but I just can't resist.
Oh no, oh no.

Slow and easy, night is young,
Need someone to love you? Let me be the one.
Lay back baby, let the good feeling flow,
Love is coming and I'm losing control.

The world stops turnin' and time stands still,
Feels like the night will last forever,
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)
I can feel it now (love in motion)

(love in motion)...

NERVOUS RELEASE
I've been wearin' my fingers down to the bone,
Just pushin' your number on the telephone.
I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall,
But your line was busy everytime I call.
Remember the shots that we took last night?
Polaroid Woman sure treat me right.
But right now I'm down on my knees,
I need your nervous release,
Your nervous release.

I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge,
Like I just stepped back from a window ledge.
I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine,
Feel like I'm burnin' bad gasoline.
IBM Woman, now I've got a hunch,
You're too wound up from operating that punch
I'll hang up the phone, grab the keys,
I need your nervous release, ah yeah.

I woke up at noon, I should've stayed in bed.
I checked my level, it was in the red.
I swear I heard voices, there was no one around,
An ice-cold shower couldn't cool me down.
I used to brag about my nerves of steel,
Heavy Metal Woman just can't be real!
Cool me down by degrees,
I need your nervous release.
N-n..n- n- ...

I'm as nervous as a man could be,
Full of guilt and insecurity.
Too much work, man it's killing me!,
Like a mad dog howling through the trees,
I need your nervous release, your nervous release.

N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release.
N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release.
Oh baby, oh baby...

STONE BLUE
Wind tearin' through the backstreet, I hear the rhythm of my heart beat,
Rain blowin' to my face, I'm tired of being in the wrong place.

Blues knockin' on my back door, I can't jump from the second floor,
Turn up the radio higher and higher, rock and roll music set my ears on fire.

When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.

Laid off work and I can't be free, I need some rock 'n' roll therapy.
Put on a 45 and let the needle ride, jukebox jumps and I'll be satisfied.

When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.

Oh, let me ride on your mystery train, ride through the night in the pourin' rain.
Rock and roll in my soul, got me losin' control, let it roll!

Stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through,
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.

SWEET HOME CHICAGO
Come on, baby don't you wanna go?
Oh come on, baby don't you wanna go?
Back to the same old place, to my sweet home Chicago.

I've got to leave my baby, and break up my happy home

EASY MONEY
Lookin' for a way to earn some easy cash,
So I can lay back and watch it roll in.
I wanna flash my roll,
I want to see that good old eagle grin.

Lonely man needs a high rollin' woman,
That's what I had for sure.
But she took a ride, left me dissatisfied,
Ain't gonna say no more.

Easy money, can't get it out of my mind,
Easy money, ain't it hard to find!

Cruisin' along on a downtown avenue,
I'm lonely, but the night is young.
I got money to burn, I had to work to earn,
It'll soon be gone.

I found the right club, struttin' in, paid the man a dollar,
Eased myself into a place at the bar.
I drank a double shot, put me in the slot,
I'm feeling good so far.

Easy money, can't get it out of my mind,
Easy money, ain't it hard to find.

Lonely man needs a high rollin' woman,
That's what I had for sure.
But she took a ride, left me dissatisfied,
Ain't gonna say no more.

I been lookin' for a way to earn some easy cash,
So I can lay back and watch it roll in.
I wanna flash my roll,
I want to see that good old eagle grin.

Easy money, can't get it out of my mind,

Easy money, ain't it hard to find.

MIDNIGHT MADNESS
Love you baby and I always will,
Without you, I've just got time to kill,
Day and night, night and day,
I look for trouble, find a sure fire way.

Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love, I love you.
Got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.

Like a prisoner caught in my own own dream,
I used to worry 'bout what might have been.
Love was here, now it's gone,
I found out too late, you're the one.

Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love, I love you.
Got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.

Around midnight my feelin's start to show,
Wind me up 'til I can't take no more.

Midnight madness gonna turn me around.
Midnight madness gonna tear me down,
Midnight madness gonna turn me around.

But you love him, I don't know what to do,

STAY WITH ME
If I could be with you tonight,
I would never let you down.
I would come for you, roll away the blue, speaking words without a sound,
I would never let you down.

Like a shadow in the night,
Time is slowly moving on,
Hours go driftin' by, there's no need to cry, now at last I found someone,
Finally our time has come.

Stay, won't you stay with me?
Take my time and love will set me free.
Stay, won't you stay with me?

Finding love on time, gave me piece of mind, knowing how real love can be,
More than just a fantasy.

We've got a roll goin', too good to stop.
Flyin' high, we've got too far to drop.
Everybody needs somebody to love,

You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel

Powerful love, steady roll, move my body and it rock my soul.

May be crazy - I may be in love.

We gotta ride, ride, ride, yeah

DON’T RUN ME DOWN
I had a woman, all's she did was run me down,
She changed our love to jealousy, and my smile into a frown.
Now I've been hurt so many times, but I guess I'll never learn.
Now I'm standin' in confusion, I don't know which way to turn.
'Cause I still love that woman, please don't ask me why,
We can make it if we try.

She passed by in a limousine, and slowly waved her hand,
A mink around her shoulders, and her arms around a man.
Now I was so amazed I couldn't find a thing to say,
Just stood awhile and tried to smile, but she looked the other way.
Cruisin' through the city, she almost knocked me down,
I jump back when I hear that sound.

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down.
My nerves are shakin' and my heart is breakin', don't run me down!

Here stands a troubled man who's tired of bein' abused,
I'm tired of walkin' by myself, bewildered and confused.
I've got to leave you baby, but I just can't let you go,
Now I'm inclined to change my mind when tears begin to flow.
Run me down, turn me around, I say no but you do it anyway.
You tell me lies, but I've got wise. What can I say? What can I say?

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down,
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!

Don't run me down - Don't run me down - Don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down!

(Don't run me down, Don't run me down - Don't run me down, Don't run me down)
(Don't run me down, Don't run me down - Don't run me down, Don't run me down...)
Don't run me down
(Don't run me down, Don't run me down)
No no
(Don't run me down, Don't run me down)
I hate to leave you baby
(Don't run me down)
Don't run me down,
(Don't run me down,)

Don't run me, run me run me.....no!

BURNIN’ THE MIDNIGHT OIL
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.

She's gone and I know, that the pain is beginnin' to show, I'm hurting inside.
My world fell apart, but love's still burning in my heart, but where can I hide?

Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone,
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil.

There's a voice in my head runnin' over everything she said, and I can't erase it.
Love was a game, well I lost and it's a cryin' shame, but I gotta face it.

Nowhere to go, and time is moving slow,
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil - Yeah, burnin'...

Burnin' the midnight oil - hot water getting ready to boil,
Drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired - I'm so high, I think I'll never be tired.
Feeling sad and I'm mad, all the bad luck that I've had.

Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
Shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.
I shoulda' listened to someone, love has gone, I've got nowhere to run.

I'll lay back on my bed, memories runnin' through my head, I tried to forget.
The clock's striking twelve, I'm still trying to convince myself it's not over yet.
Love turned to stone, and I'm tired of bein' alone,

Yea, burnin' the midnight oil - Yea-ee-yea, burnin' the midnight oil.

NIGHT SHIFT
Working on a night shift, high on a 'fore day drive
I'm energized from sundown to sunrise, and I'll sleep from nine to five
Shadows fallin' all down the line
Get ready 'cause it's night shift time

Living, loving, searching high and low,
Feel the fire, I'm hooked to a live wire, and I can't let go
I got a feeling that I can't mistake
Sun rises and I'm still awake

I'll play my music - I don't mind working over time
And if I lose it, I'll come to you and you'll give me peace of mind

I get home early in the morning, I love to get next you
You touch me and you thrill me, you know what to do

Working on a night shift, you tell me something's got to give
I don't mind 'cause I'm feelin' fine, and I love the life I live
Shadows fallin' on down the line

Get ready, 'cause it's night shift time

HOT SHOT LOVE
Your love is lifting me higher and higher
You're so warm you set my soul on fire
Fan the flame, I feel my temperature rise
All that I need, your love satisfies

You're so fine, you know how to please me
Take me higher, then you let me down easy
Making love, how sweet it can be
I can't believe, what you're doin' to me

Girl I want you so bad
You're driving me mad
Let your love run free
It feels so good to me

Love, I'm talkin' 'bout your love
I'm talkin' 'bout your love
Your hot shot love

Your love is lifting me higher and higher
You're so warm you set my soul on fire
Making love, how sweet it can be
Oh baby, what you're doing to me

Love, I'm talkin' 'bout your love
I'm talkin' 'bout your love
Your hot shot love

Love, love

Feels good, you're my hot shot love
I'm talkin about your love
Fan the flame, fan the flame

My temperature's risin'...

TAKE ME TO THE RIVER
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen why I should forget
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, yea yea

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

I don't know why she treat me so bad
After all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, I'd love to stay

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me
Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river
Take me, take me, take me to the river

Take me, take me, take me to the river

I’LL BE STANDING BY
Standing in the shadows
Waiting for your love light to shine on me
When you're lonely and the pain shows
Call me, I'll be right there to set you free

Walking down a dark road to loneliness
The night has no mercy
I feel a need in me I can't express

I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

Come to me, when you're lonely
You need someone to love, let it be me
The way you love me and hold me
Made me realize how sweet love can be

Standing on a backstreet in the falling rain,
Cryin' for mercy, until you come to me and ease the pain

I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

I'll be standing by
There'll be no need to cry
I'll be standing by

Come to me, come to me,

'Cause I'll be standing - I'll be standing by

'Cause I'm tired, I've been eight days on the road.
That's right, eight days on the road,
Travelin' through the night,
There ain't no town, ain't no town, ain't no rest tonight.

Broke and busted, standin' on the county line,
I've been traveling eight days on the road.
That's right, well, eight days on the road.
Travelin' through the night,
There ain't no town, ain't no town, ain't no rest tonight, oh.

I'm out here thinkin', thinkin' 'bout what I've done,
That's why, oh that's why, I'm eight days on the road.
That's right, well eight days on the road.
Travelin' through the night,
I'm comin' home, I won't be long, I'll make Birmingham tonight.

Oh sugar lady, be my saviour,
'Cause I'm broke, busted, I've been eight days on the road.
Hitchhike, I've been eight days on the road.
Travelin' through the night...
There ain't no town, there ain't no town, there ain't no rest tonight.

Comin' home, and I won't be long (Eight days on the road)
Sugar lady don't you do me no wrong (Eight days on the road)
Ridin' on the highway and I'm outta luck (Eight days on the road)

I'm makin' it back to you,
Makin' it back to you,
Makin' it back to you,
Makin' it back to you,
Eight days on the road,
Eight days on the road.

Eight days, well, whoo!

HATE TO SEE YOU GO
It's hard to love somebody, and leave her all the time,
It's hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind,
You treat me like a stranger, and I can understand,
'Cause you're a lonely woman, and I'm a travelin' man, well.

Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye,
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry,
A man needs a woman, to stand by his side,
And I need you, to keep me satisfied.

Well, I hate to see you cry,
Wipe the water from your eye,
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway,
There's one thing you should know,
I hate to see, hate to see you go.

Well if you ever leave me, I'll be the one to blame,
But I never gambled to play a losin' game,
My cards are on the table, I ain't a cheatin' man,
I'm livin' for your lovin', I hope you understand.

Well, I hate to see you cry,
Wipe the water from your eye,
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway,
There's one thing you should know,
I hate to see, hate to see you go.

All the miles between us, you and I,
All the lonely nights we sat and cried,
Too many to replace, and it's too hard to erase,
I don't know what to do,
Well I don't know what to do, no.
Woo

Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye,
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry,
A man needs a woman, I want you to know,

Well I need you, I hate to see you go

DREAMER
I used to be a dreamer, I can't be that way no more,
I used to be a dreamer, I can't be that way no more,
Only time has proved me wrong,
You can't live on love alone when reality is far too strong.

Nightmare walkin', creepin' through the lonely nights,
Nightmare walkin', creepin' through the lonely nights,
I wake up with the rising sun,
Try to work away the days, keep my troubles on the run.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.

I wake up from my sleep, I got nightmares on my mind,
Walk around in circles to pass away the time,
I hear the bell tonin' and I see the mornin' light,
Pour myself a drink, but I lost my appetite,
I can't sleep at all, 'cause my dreams are all so bad,
When I get to thinkin' it's about to drive me mad.
See our love dyin' and my eyes begin to burn,
My mind is so confused, I don't know which way to turn.

Wake up with the rising sun,
Try to work away the days, keep my troubles on the run.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.

Time at last has proved you right,
Now my dreams are turnin' bad, it's the same thing every night.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.

Nightmare, ruin my life, yeah,
Nightmare, ruin my life,
Every hour, whoa, every night,
Hear the bell tonin', hear the bell tonin',
Nightmare, yeah, whoa, nightmare, drive me crazy,

Nightmare, yeah, nightmare, drive me out of my mind

TROUBLE IN MY WAY
Trouble in my way, trouble in my way,
Only the darkness can ease the pain,
Only the shadows hide my shame.

Standin' in the rain, standin' in the rain,
Look at the people drivin' home,
I'm so tired of bein' alone.
Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way.

Give me one more chance, give me one more chance,
I'll tell you something you're bound to hate,
Maybe tomorrow will be too late.

Trouble in my way, trouble in my way,
Only the darkness can ease my pain,
Only the shadows hide my shame.
Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way.

Trouble in my way, trouble in my way,
Trouble, trouble in my way.
Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way.

Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way,
Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way.

Mmm - Hey-ee-yea-ee-yea

Oooh-hoo-ooh-hoo-yeah yeah...

SHIRLEY JANE
Well I was sittin' in a smokey room, band playin' rock and roll,
Everybody burnin', yearnin' for some alcohol.

I got up to buy the wine, when I saw Shirley Jean,
Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen.

Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.

I tried to give her a sign, but she was too high to see,
Sittin' and starin', carin' not a thing for me.
Woo!
Sweet little Shirley Jean, sure lookin' good to me,
Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat.

Tell by the way she was actin', musta' had a whole lot to hide,
She's got a whole lotta lovin', all bottled up inside.
Woo!

I ain't goin to say a word, can't find a word to say,
You ain't gonna get me, let me tell you right away.

I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why,
Hugging little Shirley, a curly headed honey pie.

Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well

Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.
Well, Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen,
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine.
Yeah, well, Shirley Jean!

Let me grease your machine!
Let me check your oil.
Woo!

Sure looks good to me!

BLUE SPRUCE WOMAN
Well my blue spruce woman came outta' the woods up to my city flat,
Look like she been playin' with the animals, I couldn't tell her that.
She made me an offer, I took my time,
Before I knew it she was blowin' my mind,
She's my blue spruce woman she ain't no friend of mine.

Well my woodsy woman got tight with the city,
Didn't even mind the smoke and confusion.
Tried to get a gig slinging hash in a greasy spoon,
Crashin' for nickles and coke.
She didn't ignore me, I wish she would,
She makin' me feel, anything but good,
She's my blue spruce woman she sure ain't no friend of mine.

I love that woman and she loves me,
I want that woman, I gotta make her be,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
The way she make me feel.

I love that woman and she loves me,
I want that woman, I gotta make her be,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
The way she make me feel.

Blue spruce woman, she ain't no friend of mine,
Blue spruce woman, she ain't no friend of mine,
Blue spruce woman, she ain't no friend of mine.

Woo-hoo-hoo

Too much sorrow and too many tears,
You've been lonely for too many years.

Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, whoa.

Lost all your money, now where are your friends?
You burned all your candles at too many ends.

It's easy to see why you're blue all the time.

Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, yea.

GOLDEN ARROW
Standing on the bridge, peeking through the crack,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the track,
Must've been the fastest train I've ever seen,
Eyes wide open as I watch that gold machine.

See the train comin' and I heard the whistle blow,
Like a flash of' lightnin', the arrow shinin' gold,
Felt so excited, left my troubles way behind,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the line.

Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?

Dark clouds rollin', it's another rainy day,
Early in the morning, I have to get away,
Standing on the bridge and I'm feelin' kinda sad,
Line's all deserted and I feel so bad.

Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?

Yea-ee-yea
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -

Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -

Yea,
Whoo!

HOME IN MY HAND
Thumbin' a ride to Geneva, standing in the falling rain,
Getting dirty looks, I wish I could've took a train.
Your friends said, "Why did you leave her?" - I had to make it on my own,
Now I'm standing on the highway, tryin' to find my way alone.

Well I got my home in my hand - travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.
