It's a holiday Mama mama please, no more jaguars I don't want to be a pop star Mama mama please, no more deckhands I don't want to be a sailor man Mama mama please, no more face lifts I just don't know which one you is Mama mama please, no more husbands (I don't know who my daddy is) It's a holiday...

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.

Fast cars,
She lives at the best hotels Big stars, She knows them all so well Lost loves, She's had more than just a few Wrong moves, She can afford more than you She don't know, what real love is She's always had, second best She don't know, what real love is She's always had second best. Headlines, She's been there once or twice Feeling fine She has forgotten the price She don't know, what real love is She's always had second best She don't know, what real love is She's always had second best.

A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel
With a smile on his face The school kids would give me some gin If I would let them in They were shaking all over Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own Can't remember where I'd been I was aching all over From rolling on the stone I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone. Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Kissin' cousins just ain't my style Not like some knight in shining armour Touring with the sideshow That was my blow But we hung on for the fun Lots of fun for everyone Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Till the danger man with his danger plan He took me aside And then he took me apart I was a young man with love in my heart Oh, how he made me pay It was the hard way It was the hard way Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night!

If you've never had no one
Take the word of a fallen angel If you never been no where Take the word of a fallen angel If you've ever been lonely Take the word of a fallen angel You know you're not the first to fall And you know you won't be the last In flight, you never think you can Can be the one who's gonna crash. When you think you can't go on Look around for a fallen angel When you feel you're the lost one Look around for a fallen angel When you're hurtin' for someone Look around for a fallen angel You know you're not the first to fall And you know you won't be the last In flight, you never think you can Can be the one who's gonna crash Don't you think it's time to show Don't you think it's time we know What's in your heart There's a lesson to be learned Take the word of a fallen angel There's a song for every heart Take the word of a fallen angel When you find out where you are Don't you know you're a fallen angel If you've never had no one.

Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams And I I only exist to believe The stars The stars that I see watching me Hold me close Your arms and your love comfort me The sea Is deep and it waits endlessly Oh why To give just to take it from me Here we are We sail on a ship made of dreams And I I watch for a sign constantly The sea Is deep and it waits ceaselessly.

Dragged up, raised tough
Born a mistake Learned fast the golden rule Never give, just take Did no favors, gave no quarter You all know the story 'bout The lamb's broadway slaughter. Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Street wise, cat's eye's Showbusiness smile Lookin' for today's mark On the golden mile Book wise, movie eyed So cool dudes. Ain't gonna do no talking When they find out they been used. Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Got to make some time Go through the changes My whole life needs some rearrangin' Self styled reject Ambitious wisher Also ran life style Guaranteed user, like a, Campaign promise from a three time loser Got to make my move soon Because, beggars can't be choosers, So I'm, Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf (McCafferty, Cleminson, Charlton, Agnew, Sweet) (copyright 1980 Nazsongs ltd.) all rights reserved.

It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin' lots of nothing She was none too bright But you'll listen much to anythin' When anythin's in sight, won't ya! Double back trouble like a temperance hall She's dealin' with the ceilin' And the writings on the wall Then you're wishing it was over, like an endless fall. It's a lane side fight Oh no! another main line ride Oh no! there ain't a train in sight Oh no! settin' my soul on fire Try her and buy her Hire and fire her Playin' the game his latest flame Now it's a fine line between passion and dread Foolin' and a droolin' Starts rulin' your head To seduction, destruction We're so easily lead And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone The smell of disappointment Mirror wants to pick a bone It's a cup of cold coffee Like the taste of stale beer Let's get outta here It's a lane side fight Oh no! another main line ride Oh no! there ain't a train in sight Oh no! settin' my soul on fire Try her and buy her Hire and fire her Carry the flame and make it last Carry the blame and kiss your ass goodbye.

Good days, bad days
Tearin' up the freeways Runnin' in the big race, gotta get on She's comin' on strong There's something goin' on It's the same old song but I gotta get on Doin' this, doin' that, sleepin' on a doormat Gotta make a comeback, maybe tonight When it gets insane and I'm losin' my brain But I'm makin' my name Gotta do it tonight She really fooled me She got me right between the eyes She pushed me pulled me She got me right between the eyes.

No feeling when you told me goodbye
No reason when you're living a lie Don't tell me what I already know I'm living memories of long ago I fool myself, I deny it all Wanna hide it away Lost moments never caring enough I was never good at playing it tough Still living in my own little world Still believing you're the only one It's always hard, never easier To face another day alone Every time it rains I fall apart I start to remember Every single time it rains I think of you.

Another day alone, another pain to hide
It's gettin' hard to hold, it's hurtin' deep inside Livin' for no-one, given no space to run There's gotta be someone you gotta keep holdin' on It wasn't meant to last, you weren't meant to fall And all the photographs you want to burn them all But goin' down easy isn't so crazy now Nobody needs you but don't let it get you down Cover your heart Don't let anyone's lovin' get a hold of you Cover your heart Cause it never does nothin' it's supposed to do You used to have it all there all a love could be But now the dreams you shared are just a memory For all the wrong reasons you want it all, even now Caught on the rebound turnin' you inside out Cover your heart Don't let anyone's lovin' get a hold of you Cover your heart Cause it never does nothin' it's supposed to do Cover your heart For all the wrong reasons you want it all, even now Caught on the rebound turnin' you inside out Cover your heart Cover your heart (Rankin) Bob ‘n' Weave Music (Dunfermline) copyright 1992 Nazareth (Dunfermline) Ltd. |

She was a wall street celebrity
With upward mobility Walked and talked like a man But that was o.k. by me Two bit losers can never be choosers No nit pickin' kickin' the can Livin' in the lap Livin' in the lap of luxury Seventeen self abusals Got me twenty blind, flat refusals While she's dressin' all in white I'm gettin' set up for my life Hard work never stopped the dance But provin' it just ain't worth the chance Livin' in the lap Livin' in the lap of luxury Everything's alrighty by me With risin' credibility I'm leavin' a mark with my indelability She's earnin' the money I'm servin' the honey Bring it on home to the hive---no jive Livin' in the lap Livin' in the lap of luxury (Rankin, McCafferty, Agnew, Sweet) Bob ‘n' Weave Music (Dunfermline) copyright 1992 Nazareth (Dunfermline) Ltd.

Tell me that you love me
Even though I'm far away Tell me that you need me Help me through another day Well, I'm not new to this Held on before when I should have let go The mistakes that you make Keep comin' round like a family ghost I just wanna know Am I moving in or heading for the coast She said: Tell me that you love me Even though you're far away Tell me that you need me Help me through another day I don't know what to do I'm all dressed up no place to go Sailing against the wind, can't figure it out Which way it will blow Show me now I'm lost at sea I'm sinking below Help me now Tell me, tell me Tell me that you love me Even though you're far away Tell me that you need me Help me through another day.

ime out, no good now
Screamin' too loud And I can't hear a word you say Look out, way too late Sun's going down And I'm comin' around your way You keep calling me all night You keep saying it's alright, alright Got me runnin' When you cry, you cry, cry wolf Got me running, cry,cry--cry, cry wolf Don't touch, don't look now Somethin's cookin' And it's keepin' me hang around But when the call comes through I'm ready for you and you say it ain't true But you're keepin' your defenses down You keep callin' me all night You keep saying it's alright, alright Got me runnin' When you cry, you cry, cry wolf Got me runnin' cry, cry--cry wolf (Rankin, McCafferty) Bob ‘n' Weave Music (Dunfermline) copyright 1992 Nazareth (Dunfermline) Ltd. |

Look out the left the captain said The lights down there that's where we'll land Saw a falling star burning High above the Las Vegas sand It wasn't the one that you gave to me That night down south between the trailers Not the early one that you wish upon Not the northern one that guides in the sailors You've got that touch so gentle and sweet But you've got that look so critical Can't talk to you babe you know I get so weak Sometimes I think that love is just mythical Up there's a heaven, down there's a town Blackness everywhere any little lights shine Blackness, blackness draggin' me down Come on light a candle in this heart of mine Starbright, starbright, you've got the lovin' that I like Turn this crazy bird around Should not have got on this flight tonight I'm drinkin' sweet champagne got the headphones up high Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind They're singin'-"Goodbye baby, Baby bye-bye, Ooh! love is blind" Up go the flaps,down go the wheels Hope you got your heat turned on baby Hope they've finally fixed your automobile Hope it's better when we meet again babe. |
