Now lay me down on market street
I'm lookin' for some spare change A coastguard ship has been lookin' for me And I might have to change my name Here comes Uncle Sam again With the same old bag of beans The local chief's on the radio He's got some hungry mouths to feed Goin' back to Alcatraz. Lay me back down here on the highway One hundred and one ways to go Solitary is so confinin' To the legend of Geronimo Oh, I know I could bring the rain Used to dance for ABC And all the braves down on death row Are pretending to be free Back home in Alcatraz. In the land of the great white father My American blood runs cold I left my home in Oklahoma To the Everglades I go It's just the wings on the silver cars And I'm allowed to plow a field It's not the life for a nineteen seventy Indian boy to do Goin' back to Alcatraz. Lay me down on market street I'm lookin' for some spare change A coastguard ship has been lookin' for me Might have to change my name Here comes Uncle Sam again With the same old bag of beans Local chief's on the radio He's got some hungry mouths to feed Goin' back to Alcatraz. Here comes Uncle Sam again With the same old bag of beans Local chief's on the radio He's got some hungry mouths to feed Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz Goin' back to Alcatraz... |

Have you seen that vigilante man?
Have you seen that vigilante man? Have you seen that vigilante man? I've been hearin' his name all over this land Lonely nights down in the engine house Sleepin' just as still as a mouse Man comes home, chase the crowds in the rain That's a vigilante man. Vigilante man Vigilante man. Well, I ramble around from town to town Ramble 'round from town to town And they hunted us a while like a wild herd of cattle That's a vigilante man Tell me why does that vigilante man Tell me why does that vigilante man Carry that sawed-off shotgun in his hand Would he shoot his brother and sister down? Have you seen that vigilante man? Have you seen that vigilante man? Have you seen that vigilante man? I've been hearin' his name all over this land. Vigilante man Vigilante man Vigilante man Vigilante man Vigilante man Vigilante man... |

She's a night woman of my dreams
And I saw her glidin' on a moon beam Silver stardust in her eyes In the way she leaves her sighs. Last night I fell asleep Thought I heard her voice begin to speak My mind is in distress On my cheek I felt her breath. I could feel her body's warmin' glow My frozen blood begn to flow She's a night woman of my dreams And I saw her glidin' on a moon beam Comes, stays, then disappears In the morning sun my vision clears. I could smell the roses in her hair But when I awoke, she was not there. Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream Oooh, oooh, she's a night woman of my dream Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream. |

You are a girl from the country Your eyes remind me of the sun You came to visit in the city And won the heart's of everyone You are a girl from the country Your hair is coloured like the corn I have never been outside the city I am no friend to anyone chorus: Country girl, won't you stay a while Won't you stay a while with me? Country girl, won't you stay a while Let me see you smile for me lead You are a girl from the country Before you came, I was alone Please say you'll take me to the country And let me share your country home chorus |

Woke up this morning, my dog was dead,
Someone disliked him and shot him through the head. Woke up this morning, my cat had died, I know I'll miss her, sat down and cried. Came home this evening, my hog was gone, People here don't like me, I think I'll soon move on. Now somethings happened, that would make a saint frown, I turned my back and my house burned down. |

(copyright Nazareth, Tiflis Tunes, inc.-ascap)
Called her name, but the wind blew strong. I called in vain, though I tried so long. Called the sea to bring her home, But the sea don't hear and I'm still alone. I feel an emptiness inside, Something within me I can't hide. Standing here looking at the sky, But the light I see can't tell me why I feel an emptiness inside, Something within me I can't hide. Every time I stop to think That's the time I get lonely, That's the time it hurts the most Every time I get lonely. What went wrong, who am I to blame? Did I take too long to call her name? I feel an emptiness inside, Something within me I can't hide. |

Black hearted woman
Can't you see your poor man is down I can't take this baby All the lonely nights I've been crying Tired of all your separate ways I can't take your evil lyin' Black hearted woman Trouble and pain is all you crave Black hearted woman Trouble and pain is all you crave Now that I'm gone my trouble's stopped But my truth got in my way Yesterday I was your man But now you don't even know my name Yesterday I was your man But now I don't even know your name Got to find a new way girl Before I get back in your game One of these days baby I'm gonna catch ya with your backdoor man I said one of these days woman You know I'll catch you with your backdoor man Keep on down the road girl Or I'll start all over again |

She used to be someone you could depend on
To brighten up your coldest winter day But the one she leaned upon Let her down, now has moved on And morning brings another empty day Now she's only a broken down angel She's only a bird that's broke her wing She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong She's only a child that's lost her way She used to be a girl of simple pleasures A breath of spring to chase your blues away But now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost No sunshine in her life just clouds of gray Now she's only a broken down angel She's only a bird that's broke her wing She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong She's only a child that's lost her way She's only a broken down angel She's only a bird that's broke her wing She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong She's only a child that's lost her way Now she's only a broken down angel She's only a bird that's broke her wing She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong She's only a child that's lost her way |

His necktie is bright red
From lookin' in one direction No flowerchild in his bed He's got oil well protection Just had to be a blind dog Chewin' on everything Took a slice of the blackbird pie She began her singing I know that your oil is black But your dipstick is pearly white Ten gallons on your head That ain't what I need tonight Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Showdown at the border The rendezvous was neutral He don't want no gossip headlines Her polaroid blackmail He said,"No way I've had mine" Just too much for him to lose Because of some Cuervo passion Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion I know that your oil is black But the dipstick is pearly white Ten gallons on your head That ain't what I need tonight Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Bright red went to his head Tequila tension rising This is no business for the weak at heart This is no business for those with a Nervous disposition Tanned man from the f.e.d.'s Cool mohair buying off the squeeze Showdown at the border (Cleminson) (copyright 1980 Nazsongs ltd.) all rights reserved.

Love hurts love scars love wounds
Almost any heart Not tough or stong enough To take a lot of pain take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud Holds a lot of rain Love hurts love hurts I'm young I know but even so I know a thing or two I learned from you I really learned a lot really learned a lot Love is like a flame It burns you when it's hot Love hurts love hurts Some fools think of happiness Blissfulness togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess They're not foolin' me I know it isn't true I know it isn't true Love is just a lie Made to make you blue Love hurts love hurts love hurts I know it isn't true I know it isn't true Love is just a lie Made to make you blue Love hurts love hurts love hurts |

I'm preserving myself with make-up
Lookin' in the mirror I'm preserving my life, I can take it Shinin' in the spotlight Preservation, lookin' in the mirror Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it all off Every night I'm reserving my rights, reputation Livin' in a movie, it's keepin' me lookin' right When the secret is out to the public Seein' is believin', they still wanna be me at night When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder But that's alright Preservation, lookin' in the mirror Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it off Every night They're linin' up to make their entrance When the word's out I'm in town, they're not nice girls But that's alright They're lookin' so much better when the lights go down But nice girls is just a frame of mind Preservation, lookin' in the mirror Preservation, but they don't know that I'm scrapin' it off Every night (written by Nazareth) copyright 1982 Fool Circle Music Limited all rights reserved. lyrics used by permission reproduction prohibited |

Presidents and peace spreading poets
Getting gunned down in the streets Shown to us on our prime time screens For our tea time treat Lunatics we voted for denying Everything that they swore We sit around and shout about it But we don't do nothing more Drafted for police action But they decided on a war Telling us we were saving mankind Why don't you ask Cambodia We were solving it with marijuana We were sure that we could Always leavin' it to someone else Just knocking on wood We're goin' back to the trenches We're goin' back to the trenches Well you say you got a say so But you're knowin' that it ain't so And you turn away You think it's safer to ignore it But the score is your children have to pay Everybody wants better Everybody talkin' 'bout it Are we wastin' time Gotta stop only lookin', talkin' We're all guilty of the crime We're goin' back to the trenches We're goin' back to the trenches We gotta move, we got everything to lose We gotta move, we got everything to lose We're all headed for the front But everybody's fightin' for a good address It's time we made the changes Or we'll be burnin' with the rest We just ain't communicatin' and I don't Mean conversations on the telephone When Nero starts to fiddle this time There's a lot more gonna burn than Rome we're goin' back to the trenches we're goin' back to the trenches we're goin' back to the trenches we're goin' back to the trenches (written by Nazareth) copyright 1982 Fool Circle Lusic limited all rights reserved. lyrics used by permission reproduction prohibited |

She would never say where she came from
And yesterday don?t matter if it?s gone When the sun is bright Or on the darkest night No one knows.......she comes and goes chorus: Goodbye ruby tuesday Who could hang a name on you When you change with every new day Still I?m gonna miss you No question why she needs to be so free She?ll tell you it?s the only way to be She just can?t be chained To a life where nothing?s gained And nothing?s lost.......at such a cost chorus: There?s no time to lose I heard her say Cast your dreams before they slip away Tired all the time Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind Ain?t life unkind chorus: (4x) (jagger/richards) Westminster Music |

> Sent a telegram today
Tomorrow you'll be on your way Could be Memphis or L.A. No questions just get out and play. Wake up call to catch the plane You know you're on the road again Someone's bangin' in your head Why did you get so late to bed. Runnin' late and feelin' bad That breakfast was the worst you've had Make the gate no time to spare Before you know you're in the air. 747 flies us high Much higher than we're meant to be You're six miles high but feelin' down You wish you could be on the ground. Find your bags and walk for miles The customs man is waitin' there Immigration cause delay You wonder if you'll ever play. Limousine is standin' by We get inside and drive a while F.M. Station soundin' good And gettin' better every mile. Hotel lobby looks the same With all the same old girls in town Press reception takes the day With all the same old things to say Need your picture smile this way And will you tell me what you play So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star Just listen now to what I say Get yourself an electric guitar and take some time and learn to play. Your roadies call to say OK The soundcheck can get underway Soundcheckover, had some fun A waste of time for everyone Time has come to start the show It's boogie time for everyone Check guitars before you go They're close enough for rock n roll The lights are low, The crowd is high,much higher than They're meant to be We take the stage and start to play The lights come up for all to see Here we are again, singin' the same old songs Lookin for someone who will sing along Here we are again playin' the same old scenes Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams Here we are again facing the same old sights Lookin' for someone who will share our nights |
