7 Years Bitch

[1] Woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou, woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou

You're going round the circle through another phase
Your temperature rising, you're wining and dining
A girl who's half your age
She gives you all the business, she gives to older men
And it's oh so understandable this ladykiller move
There must be something bottled up
You think you've gotta prove
Cos now that you're a member of something on the sideChorus It's number one, two and three, four and five, six, seven year
Can you controll the bitch
One, two and three, four and five, six, sevenCan you - controll - the itch[2] Woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou, woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou

To tell the truth, you're old' enough to be her dad
She ain't gonna let up, she want's you toset up
A cosy little pad
Where she can entertain you, and everything is free
I can tell you always were a sucker for a pretty face
The nights...
...to take a place,
Cos now that you're a member of something on the side

Chorus It's number one, two and three, four and five, six, seven year
Can you controll the bitch
One, two and three, four and five, six, sevenCan you controll the itch (yeah)[3] You tell the wife another business trip abroad
It's getting to much, you better not touch
What you cannot affort
I know it's monkey business, and I've seen it all before
And I know that you were overcome, when she told you you're the best
You better believe she's saying the same
To me and all the rest
Cos now that you're a member

Chorus It's number one, two and three, four and five, six, seven year
Can you controll the bitch
One, two and three, four and five, six, sevenCan you controll the itch

Woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou, woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou (2 times)
One, two and three, four and five, six, seven year - woh hohowho ho wohwohwohou (6 times fading)

Chorus

Your on the dead end of the street
Trying hard to make ends meet

Chorus

You gotta break out in the evening
Cos you never did believe in
All that 9 to 5

All that 9 to 5

Ain't Got No Heart

Ain't got no heart
I ain't got no heart to give away

I said about those fools in love
There ain't no such thing as love
No angels singing up above today

Girl I don't believe
Girl I don't believe in what you say

I say you, you must be mine
I say you, you must be blind
What makes you think that you're so fine?

That I should throw away
The groovy life I lead
Baby what you got yeah
Sure ain't what I need

Girl you better
Girl you better go away

I said that life with you must be
Just not quite the thing for me
Why is it hard to see my way?

Why should I be stuck with you?
It's just not what I want to do
Why should an embrace or two
Make me such a part of you?

I ain't got no heart to give away

All Join Hands

[1] I remember the time when I saw you
Standing there all alone in a crowd
I remember the time
Cos we drank too much wine

Chorus We all join hands
And we all join hands
So let's all join hands
Here and now

[2] All the girls getting kissed in the ballroom
All the boys Brahms and Liszt on the floor
I remember the time
When we sang Auld Lang Syne

Chorus R E P E A T[3] Have the time of your life when you're younger
Have the time of your life when you're old
Drink the wine, feeling fine
As we sang Auld Lang Syne

Chorus R E P E A T (2 times)

Here and now, here and now - yeah...

All The World Is A Stage

[1] You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page
You are the ears of the listener
I am the voice of the picture
Together we can act out the age.Chorus All the world is a stage all the people are players,
Turn on the spotlight it's yours.
All the world is a stage, all the people are players,
Ring up the curtain Applause one thing's for certain, it's yours ![2] You are the sense of occasion
Mine is a standing ovation
Your pleasure is only at your command
You are to set the example
I am the one to portray it
To measure the storm that follows the calm.Chorus R E P E A T[3] You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page
You are the brain of the thinker
I am the fave of expression
Together we can act out the age.Chorus R E P E A T[4] The start and end to every story is the same
But what comes in between you have yourself to blame:
It makes no difference at all
Just pick yourself when you fall
So ring up the certain - applause.

(And Now The Waltz) C'est La Vie

(And now the Waltz)
He will never be free
Yeah, he'll always want you

The last night together, we made love until dawn
My nights on the town made you cry
Let's make love one more time, before I say goodbye

Chorus

(And The) Wheels Ain't Comin' Down

We were leavin' LA airport, me and Midlands Misery (Jimmy Lea)
On an early mornin' plane flight out to some Radio XYZ
Was a 1950's prop job that had seen much better days
When we came on into the last approach, saw the runway thru the haze

And the wheels ain't comin' down.
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes.
And the wheels ain't comin' down.
And you realise you wanna stay alive - you wanna stay alive

Women weepin' children playin' as we roared into a climb.
Men was playin', we were drinkin' lots and it never cost a dime.
Alter course for San Francisco, standin' by on red alert.
Gonna chance a landin' on the sea, hopin' nobody gets hurt.

And the wheels ain't comin' down.
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes.
And the wheels ain't comin' down.
And you realise you wanna stay alive - you wanna stay alive
Wanna stay alive
Stay alive

We applauded Chuck the Captain, when our feet had touched the ground.
And I won't forget the moment he said, 'It's OK folks, the wheels are comin' down.'

And the wheels they're comin' down
And you realise it's good to be alive
And the wheels they're comin' down
And you realise you're gonna still survive
It's good to be alive
S'good to be alive
They're comin' down
They're comin'on down
They're comin'on down
They're comin'on down

Angelina

I don't wanna do you no harm
But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
It's so heavy and it's bringing me down
And I need you, I need you, girl

Come little Angelina
I don't wanna do you no harm
Take me where the grass is greener
Take me where the sea is calm
All I want is you
Take me in your arms and give me love

Don't want that you hurt me
Take me where the air is cleaner
Take me where the wind blows free
All I want is you
Take me in your arms and give me love
Give me love Give me love

Give me love Give me love

Take me in your arms and give me love
(Hoo shoo shoo come)...

A Night To Remember

Oh, I know, if you're ready for me, my hot rod's ready to burn

Bangin' Man

When you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before
Then the lady who's beside you gets up
She goes right out and locks the bathroom door.
And your head won't stop singin'
The phone won't stop ringin'
Your plane is gonna leave at twelve fifteen
It was close to six o'clock
Before you got to know a little dream.
Look at the bangin' man he says
He can time after time
He'll get down
Down
Down
To bangin' back home.
Oh
Look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can time after time
He'll get down
Down
Down
To bangin' back home.
I been in fifty diff'rent towns
In fifty diff'rent days
They all got diff'rent names.
I been in fifty limousines
In fifty hotel rooms
They all look the same.
And your head won't stop crackin'
Your case needs unpackin'
The only sound is from the T.V. screen
Until a knock comes on the door
And standing there's another little dream.
When you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before.
A small reminder of the state you were in
Are all the tattered clothes across the floor.
And your head still keeps singin'
The phone still keeps ringin'
Remember just exactly where you've been.
'Cos there ain't no doubt about it
There's no better things to see
Then what you've seen.

Beggars & Hangers-on

Well I know
You couldn't love me
Cause you're promised
To a wealthy man
Take a look
What are you seein'?

Should I go to see a healer
Nervous twitchin' in my hands
Nervous twitchin' in my head

God help me rid this feeling'
Cause I'm falling all to pieces
And I can't get out of bed

Beggars & hangers-on
Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible
In his pocket
Clouding everywhere you see
Beggars & hanger-on
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
Cause the end
Is here to stay

God help me rid this feeling'
Cause I'm falling' all to pieces
And I can't get out of bed

I was wrong
I don't need you
It seems reckfess and unfair
Better day's are far behind
Buess that's another cross
I'll have to bear

I know that there's a time
And a reason
To take the ghost
And lock it up inside
And maybe I am down
But I'm not beaten
Like anything
We were born to die

Beggars & hangers-on
Try to take you from me
Someone with a Bible
In his pocket
Clauding everything you see
Beggars & hangers-on
They chip it away
Bury your soul in the river
Cause the end is here to stay
Begars & hangers-on
Beggars & hangers-on
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no

Big Apple Blues

City streets where the steam and the heat never goes to sleep
What a sight all the yellow and tans and the black and whites
There's also a dark shade of blue struttin' along two by two
Their guns hangin' low like the cowboys you dig in the old gunfights

Chorus
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues
And I got hung up on them big apple blues
And I got strung up on them big apple blues
I ain't got nothin' to lose

Them hot licks from the hicks satisfy the Manhattan chicks
Them cool schmucks get their hooks on the bucks with their sexy looks
They all know how to do what good little girls shouldn't do
I don't care 'bout evasion cos all o' that hassle sucks

Chorus
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues
And I got hung up on them big apple blues
And I got strung up on them big apple blues
I ain't got nothin' to lose

Break

I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got hooked on
I got got switched on
I got got turned on
I got got turned on
I got got hooked on
I got got switched on
I got got turned on yeah

City streets where the steam and the heat never goes to sleep
And city walls standing tall if you fall no-one hears you call
There are bodies all filled up with wine sayin' buddy have you got a dime
The apple ain't bad it's just bruised and I'm glad that it's there at all

Chorus
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues
And I got hung up on them big apple blues
I got strung on switched on hooked on them big apple blues
I got hooked on snooked on cooked on them big apple blues
Why I got to hang on to hang on to hang on to hang on to them blues
Why I got hooked on cooked on snooked on them big apple blues
And I got hooked on them big apple blues
I ain't got nothin' to lose

Born To Be Wild

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Chorus
You're not gonna make it happen
All the world is a loving place
Fire all of your guns at once then
Explode into space

I like streaking lightning
A heavy metal thunder
Wrestling with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We were flyin' so high,
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

I like streaking lightning
A heavy metal thunder
Wrestling with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

You're not gonna make it happen
All the world is a loving place
Fire all of your guns at once then
Explode into space

Like a true nature's child

Candidate

[1] See him all alone,
No one seems to like him, he's uncool,
No one seems to like the way he rules,
See them all alone,
Talking of the secrets of the moon,
Spending hard-earned money they'll just lose.Chorus What we really want is some way to adjust,
All the values that we have been left to trust,
I just can't believe they are real, very real,
Far from real[2] See them on their own,
See their cartoon faves in the news,
Storming from the house in ones and twos,
Can you hear them cry,
Making accustions to each other,
Campaigning for the mark of a young mother.Chorus R E P E A T[3] What we really want is some way to adjust,
All the values that we have been left to trust,
I just can't believe
They're real, very real,
Far from real,
See them all alone
See them all alone.

Chakeeta

When you gaze right into your crystal ball, show me what you see
Here in that piece of glass can't turn you on, it ain't made to love me
And when you open up your gypsy eyes, I can't look away
Using that magic spell to hypnotise, you can make me stay

Chorus
Hey Chakeeta, Chakeeta, Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta Chakeeta Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

Listen your voodoo hearts beating too fast, beating in my palm
All of them hoodoo curses ain't made to last, throw away your charm

Chorus
Hey Chakeeta, Chakeeta, Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta Chakeeta Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

Chakeeta, Chakeeta, you put the hurt on me

With your electric vibration, your fascination, see now I'm still here
Sink into an itineration, infatuation, I won't disappear

Chorus
Hey Chakeeta, Chakeeta, Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta Chakeeta Chakeeta
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

Hey Chakeeta Chakeeta
Open up your gypsy eyes, you make a spell and hypnotise
Look into your crystal ball, that piece of glass can't tell you all
You put the hurt on me, you put the hurt on me

Cheap And Nasty Love

Wohouhouhou!

Cheap and nasty - cheap and nasty
Cheap and nasty - love

She was a stranger who came out of nowhere
She makes a living out there on the street
And with a faraway look in her faraway eyes
The face of an angel who's seen the hard times
A case of survival without any ties

Chorus

It's cheap and nasty love
And she'd leave it if she could
Cheap and nasty love
You know it ain't magic

She couldn't make any other profession
And as she says, 'well, a girl's gotta eat'
Trying anything once with a trick of the trade
Rents by the hour making sure she gets paid
No satisfaction - it drives her insane

Chorus

It's cheap and nasty love
And she'd leave it if she could
Cheap and nasty love
You know it ain't magic - no!

Woh, cheap and nasty love
And she'd leave it if she could
Cheap and nasty love
You know it ain't magic - no!

Cheap and nasty love
Cheap and nasty love
Cheap and nasty love
You know it ain't magic
Oh, you know it ain't magic - no!

Chorus
I could I could I keep you come burn you could
I could I could I keep you so have you get
I could I could I make you feel really fine
We could we could we make love this time
We could we could we make love so fine

You're old enough to know from where we come
And where we go and what we're here for
What do you feel for
It's hard enough to bare the thought in mind
But now you're there and then you're gone
Let's get it on

Chorus
I could I could I keep you come burn you could
I could I could I keep you so have you get
I could I could I make you feel really fine
We could we could we make love this time

And don't deny it until you try it
You've played the game so long
You think that life goes on and on
You better use it before you lose it

So fine
You're old enough to know from where we come
And where we go and what we're here for

You never really tried to let yourself be satisfied
And don't deny it

You get me in a spot and smile the smile you got, and I love you
You make me out a clown then you put me down, I still love you

I just like the things you do (mmm)
Don't you change the things you do (mmm)

Hey

When you bite your lip you're gonna flip your flip, but I love you
When we're miles apart you still reach my heart, how I love you

Don't you change the things you do (mmm)

Only time can tell if we get on well cos' I love you
All that's passed us by we can only sighhihi cos' I love you

I just like the things you do (mmm)
Don't you change the things you do (mmm)

Dapple Rose

Once kept in a stable snug and warm
But now he's growing old in open fields he's forced to go
He often stands in hail, rain, freezing snow
He's certain that his master doesn't mean him any harm
Chorus
Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore
Times gone by you will remember
Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow
Times gone by you will remember
His clothing was a shiny coat so fine
But now he's growing old and his beauty does decay
One night he heard his master frown and say
No poor old bones could stand this life of mine
Chorus
Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore
Times gone by you will remember
Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow
Times gone by you will remember
Break
His food was of the best corn and best hay
But now there's no such thing and he hardly eats at all
He lives on sprouts that grow behind the wall
I doubt if he'll be lucky to last another day
Chorus
Dapple Rose he doesn't want you anymore
Times gone by you will remember
Dapple Rose you are cold and old and slow
Times gone by you will remember
Don't feel so bad, feel so sad
No more wearing shiny glory now they hang upon the wall
The hall in some far gone manor
Not a soul realises your a Dapple Rose of fame

Darling Be Home Soon

Come, and talk of all things we did today
Hear, and laugh about our funny little ways
For we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave

Chorus
So darling be home soon
I couldn't bare to wait an extra minute
If you know
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours I've been waiting
Since you tired
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now, a quarter of my life is almost past
I, I think I've come to see myself at last
And I know that the time spent confused
Was the time that I spent without you
And I feel in myself in blues

Chorus
But darling be home soon
I couldn't bare to wait an extra minute
If you know
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours I've been waiting
Since you tired
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Break

Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky
Try, to see beyond the houses in your eyes
It's OK to shoot the moon

Chorus
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bare to wait an extra minute
If you know
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours I've been waiting
Since you tired
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Dead Men Tell No Tales

On the day we pulled the bank job
Mugsy Baker he stopped some lead
He don't always pack the hardware but
We sure did need some bread

Everything was running smoothly
All the folks were cool and calm
Till some smartass he came the hero
And then he sounded the alarm

Chorus
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time Is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's
Their only time time time is wasting away

Soon the building was surrounded
Not a chance to make a break
We was trapped the cops were closin' in
Them bullets were no fake

As the good guy he lay there bleedin'
Me the bad guy I started to retch
Then old Mugsy he caught a ricochet
We were heading for a stretch

Chorus
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time Is fading away
Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's
Their only time time time is wasting away

Break

In the holdup there was Mugsy
Me and Benjamin the bear
Mugs would rather go down fightin' just
To save him from the chair

Chorus
Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals
Their only time time time Is fading away
Dead men they don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's
Their only time time time is wasting away

Did Ya Mama Ever Tell Ya?

Are you sitting comfortably?
Good! Then we'll begin... (spoken)
There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile
He had a crooked stick
And oh boy how it cramped his stily
Well did ya mamma ever tell ya
Them kookie little nurs 'ry rhymes
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Supposed to get some water
They stayed up there a long time
Doing what they shouldn't ought-a

Chorus

Did ya mamma ever tell ya
Them funky little nurs' ry rhymes.
And when you got a little older
Did you learn to read between the lines
What did ya mamma ever tell ya
'bout the A's and B's and C's
Did she ever tell ya
'bout the birds and the bees.
S'ay mamma ever tell ya
You were brought by the stork
And how you could run before you could walk?

Mary had a little lamb, his feet we're black as coal
He even followed her to bed
The naughty little soul did ya
Mamma ever tell ya
Them kookie little nurs'ry rhymes
Little Jackie Horner sitting quite in his corner
How'd he get that name
Doing what he shouldn't ought-a

Chorus
R E P E A T

Solo
How about that oldie lady who was living in a shoe
She had so many children
She knew how and what to do - oh

Chorus
R E P E A T

How you could run, how you could run,
How you could run before you could walk yeah !

Dirty Joker

He's a dirty joker
He's a dirty joker all through the day
Makes me do what he says
He's mine all the time never wanting to go

This way or that way
This way or that way which way to go
Will I take the right track
Yet he's mine all the time never wanting to go

Chorus
He calls from his side
Mine is the problem to decide
He knows the weakness I've got
Doesn't it stand out on my face

What a dirty joker
What a dirty joker try to make himself clean
What a fancy powder
You can tell from his smell that he's just like a queen

Chorus
He calls from his side
Mine is the problem to decide
He knows the weakness I've got
Doesn't it stand out on my face

Ohhh-oh

Ohhh-oh

Break

He's a dirty joker
He's a dirty joker all through the day
Makes me do what he says
Yet he's mine all the time never wanting to go

Chorus
He calls from his side
Mine is the problem to decide
He knows the weakness I've got
Doesn't it stand out on my face

Ohhh-oh

Ohhh-oh

Dogs Of Vengence

They'll chase you
They'll race you
They'll run you to ground
Them dogs of vengeance on the prowl

They'll haunt you
They'll taunt you
They won't make a sound
Mark well the trickery dogs that don't howl

They'll psych you
They'll strike you
They're hot on your heels
Them dogs of vengeance are unreal

They'll track you
They'll crack you
They'll melt nerves of steel
Some sad obituary you are the meal

So come to my castle you innocent souls
Some good entertainment I've planned
Come to my chamber and I will unfold
Some exquisite passion so grand
Some torment the best in the land

Break

They'll hound you
Then surround you
Then get set to attack
Them dogs of vengeance on the prowl

They'll claw you
Then tug-a-war you
There'll be no turning back
Accept my sanctuary throw in the towel

So come to my castle you innocent souls
Some good entertainment I've planned
Come to my chamber and I will unfold
Some exquisite passion so grand
Some torment the best in the land

Some exquisite passion so grand
Some torment the best in the land
Some good entertainment I've planned
Them dogs are still hard on your heels
Them dogs gonna melt nerves of steel
Them dogs gonna make you the meal

Don't Blame Me

I gotta heart and a soul
I gotta mind of my own
And my spine aint weak
I gotta lazy streak
Lately I said I've bin a winner
Ladies all cook my dinner
I'm set free I said don't blame me
So don't blame me

We saved silver and gold
To show how many we sold
They look good when they shine
My mama polishes mine
I remember the time we hadn't a penny
I thought we'd never have any
I'm set free so don't blame me
No don't blame me

I gotta heart and a soul
I gotta mind of my own
And my spine aint weak
I gotta lazy streak
Lately I said I've bin a winner
Ladies all cook my dinner
I'm set free I said don't blame me
So don't blame me

I remember the time we hadn't a penny
I thought we'd never have any
I'm set free so don't blame me
No don't blame me
I remember the time we hadn't a penny
I thought we'd never have any
I'm set free so don't blame me
No don't blame me
I said don't blame me
