The reason I know's '?cause I traveled it through and through. They've taken my woman, and they've cut her to the bone. They've taken my woman, and cut her to the bone.

Better Days ? Colin James
What's good about a good thing That turns it's back and walks away. What's the point in a good love. That never has the time to stay. Well it has to be a cruel mind To have the time to make up this game Oh I'll put on a brave face But inside I'm really not the same So if You're callin' to see how I'm doing You're rubbing salt into my wound But if you really want to know the truth I've had better days But nobody's gotta better you Well I might have had a better love But I really don't remember who It's not unusual to hope for things you ain't gunna get It's not a crime to keep on wishin' for more again I've been waiting for the sweet words from lips Ah, you know the sound of your voice is something that i can't resist. So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing you're rubbin salt into my wounds But if you really wanna know the truth It ain't easy getting over you I've had better, but nobody's gotta better you Well I might have had a better love But i really don't remember who. So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing you're rubbin salt into my wounds But if you really wanna know the truth I've had better days, but nobody's gotta better you Well I might have had a better love But i really don't remember who. |

Don’t want to be the hound that takes the scraps right off of your plate. So good, so good, it’s good enough Diamond good love in the rough Tender, two times it’s never tough Too much is never enough I want the real stuff I want the real stuff I want the real stuff Give it to me straight; I’ve got a hard bad side to bone And when it comes to lovin’ nobody wants to do it alone Just under the covers must be hot There’s a line up around the block I want the best thing that you’ve got Load me up ‘cause I’m strong enough Send me right into the heart of love I want the real stuff I want the real stuff I want the real stuff |

The big star?s fallin? and the moon will turn the tide The whistle of the wind will lead us on Here we are, not too far Before the dawn Pictures keep on fallin? from the walls The ghosts are still careenin? through the halls The drunken neighbour sings his favourite song In the stardust of the night Before the dawn You never really know just who your friends are Till you find out at last who they are not You never recognize the things you really want Till you remember all the dreams that you forgot We?ve been runnin? for so long against the grain Tryin? to find a way to turn around again Trouble in your heart will soon be gone It?s lonely blue, it?s only true Before the dawn Come here darlin? lay down by my side Well the big star?s falling and the moon will turn the tide The whistle of the wind will lead us on Here we are, not too far Before the dawn Well here we are, not too far Before the dawn |

Through the church in to this world of sand Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin With a long slow drag She welcomes you in where youa?ll be Dancing in the low light Sweat dripping down like a dew Scratchin metal and a cry and moan Riding in a bottle in the back of a room Fire, fire from the inside Rhythm, like a hurricane rain Mercy, comes after midnight While youa?re washing me down with the sound of your National Steel Took its smile on a wild rose Born in the heat of the south Your kisses they went to my head like a whiskey She was a bootlegged love with her stockings rolled down People cried to cry as a wolf starts to howl, howled like a midnight train Roll on, roll on, rolled like a river A shot of burning silver pounding through my feet like fire Fire, fire from the inside Rhythm like a hurricane rain Mercy, comes after midnight While youa?re washing me down with the sound of your National Steel Mind your step as you make your way Through the church in to this world of sand Picture an angle with a cigarette burnin With a long slow drag She welcomes you in where youa?ll be Dancing in the low light With the sweat dripping down like a dew Scratchin metal with a cry and moan And riding in a bottle at the back of the room Fire, fire from the inside Rhythm, like a hurricane rain Mercy, comes after midnight Wash me down, washin me down, Fire, from the inside Rhythm, like a hurricane rain Mercy, comes after midnight Wash me down with the sound of your National Steel National Steel Hmmm alright |

And in return you You give up yours Before we think what would we do later on Well, what kind of life would we have Just in case we both were wrong?

Taken down from helping to hard time
Close the door and stick in a dime Traffic all around us is heavy Better move before we're buried alive Throwin the weight is, is hard to bear There's no gettin over, nobody said it's fair Have you heard? It's a big bad world Push it a little bit further Make you feel like you're sinkin on down Cant get any lower, it's further When you're trynna pick yourself up off the ground Why do you listen to everyone else When you gotta make your way, thinkin for yourself Have you heard? Baby it's a big bad world Have you heard? Alright, it's a big bad world Now it's time for lovin Dont you think that we've had enough If there's a power above us Dont you think it's makin it tough In a big bad world It's a big bad world Have you heard It's a big bad world Have you heard Careful, it's a big bad world Dontcha know, dontcha know Have you heard Alright, it's a big bad world Have you heard It's a big bad world Have you ...

Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Better take back the glance that you shot across the room at me back before the lights were low Cause that got me thinking bout not going home and that you might even have a better place to go That smile and the curve of the lip under eyes that must have sank about a thousand ships That shift of the hips to the side that does me in no matter how had I try Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away You move better then water over rocks or a breeze through the trees on the hottest of days Everybody wants to feel what you deal and then wait for the chance. I guess some even pray But I pray that the voice inside that says hey what's the harm in taking that for a ride? Don't win out over rhyme and reason and I lose what I have for having something on the side Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away I realize that I gotta take a breath and start thinking about something thatll cool me down When you get up from the chair and start dancing and I break out into a sweat as you shake it around I aint moving a muscle but ive run about a mile just fighting with myself and putting on this smile Im leainin on the wall just to hold me up trying to get my mind to move to less dangerous stuff Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away So I pray that the voice inside that says what's the harm in taking that for a ride Don't win out over rhyme and reason and I lose what I have for having something on the side Better watch what we do tonight Or were gonna get carried away Or were gonna get carried away Or were gonna get carried away Or were gonna get carried away |

What you don't like to think about
Is what you probably should forget You cant take it with you where you go Get out while you can and try to clear you head Go where the going's good Been where the going's been I hope those tickets are in your hand There's keys in the car for you when you land If I dont hear from you again I know you'll grab the reins and listen to what I said Go where the going's good Been where the going's been It don't feel like it should Go where the going's good And you can waste all of your life Waiting for your time to come around But you know it dont seem right Sitting around to lose this happiness you've found Go where the going's good Been where the going's been It don't feel like it should Go where the going's good solo Go where the going's good Been where the going's been It don't feel like it should Go where the going's good solo Go where the going's good Been where the going's been It dont feel like it should Go where the going's good |

Train is ready
To break in the sunlight Heading full speed downtown But here inside it In the last compartment Feels like the suns never coming around But I know The luck's is gonna change Cuz, we're together Your luck will be the same You know I hate when I see you cry I hate it when i see you cry Useta be so easy We were lost in eachother Just wild through the days And other peoples troubles In the morning paper Just Seemed a million miles away Before We knew it The luck was ours It meant bad news When I brought you flowers You know I hate it when I see you cry I hate when I see you cry I hate when I see you cry I hate when I see you cry Hope is rare So when I feel it I try To share it with you And I'll tell you why I never get use to it And You know I cant lie Its a fact of life You Know I cant deny You know I hate it when I see you cry I hate it when I see you cry I hate it when I see you cry(x7) |

Another day passes and you don't call
Getting to know every crack in the wall If there's a good reason for this, It's a secret you're keeping. Can't make a move and I don't know why, As if I don't have the reason to try. But the sun keeps coming around, Without me sleeping. You're going away now, baby, With nothing to say. And nothing makes sense to me lately Of all the things to throw away. It's like cleaning up the streets after the fireworks, All of this beauty's turned to dust and dirt. No relief from the light of dawn, When it takes over. Hopin' you feel something missin' what you had yesterday. I'm wondering what you were thinkin' I'm wonderin now, of all the things to throw away. Of all the things to throw away. You've gone away from me, (goin' away) All I've got to say (goin' away) I hope that you'll come to your senses. Why, of all the things to throw away Of all the things to throw away, Don't you think it's fair to say Of all the things to throw away, Throw away throwin' it away drivin' me crazy, mhm |
