One life, and you're on your own, and you don't ever find a way back home
One road and you travel alone, you keep on even when your hope is gone Now somethin' touches you with a different rhythm But all your life, you've been playin'a part And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. A worried mind, and a heart full of pain, you drag it around just like a ball and chain It doesn't matter where you go, there's no runnin' away from everything you know The writing's on the wall, but still you won't surrender You won't give up, you won't make a start And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Change of heart. Rain clouds blowin' away, taking you back again to yesterday Bad moon on the rise, now you're runnin' out of alibis But somethin' touches you, with a different rhythm All your life, you've been playin'a part And nothin's gonna make you have a change of heart. (fade) Change of heart. Change of heart. Don't let this cold world tear you apart. Drums: Liam Genockey Bass: Mo Foster Electric Guitars: Kenny Craddock / Frank Bogie Synthesizers: Kenny Craddock Sequencer: Ian Lynn Lead Vocals: Gerry Rafferty Backing Vocals: Gerry Rafferty / Christopher Neil |

You say that I am out of touch
To me that doesn't mean so much You're tryin' hard to be so cool But you will always be the fool. All the best people do it There ain't nothin' to it Just keep turning every little thing into a lie. You think you know just what to say The words you use give you away There's always something lets me know That I'm up high and you're down low. All the best people do it There ain't nothin' to it Just keep turning every little thing into a lie. Why do you always just pretend You're gonna lose out in the end One day you'll wake up and you'll find That I have left you far behind. All the best people do it There ain't nothin' to it Just keep turning every little thing into a lie. You say that I am out of touch To me that doesn't mean so much You're tryin' hard to be so cool But you will always be the fool. All the best people do it There ain't nothin' to it Just keep turning every little thing into a lie. |

Once I had a dream
I could lean upon Nothin's what it seems It was already gone. Dreams I shared with you On our way back home Watched it all come true It was already gone. I was waitin' for the sun to shine But every day would bring the rain I was down, but you changed my luck And the dream was still the same. I watched it fly away Like a bird across the sky Miles and miles and miles away Yes, it's already gone. I was waitin' for the sun to shine But every day would bring the rain I was down, but you changed my luck And the dream was still the same. I watched it fly away Like a bird across the sky Miles and miles and miles away Yes, it's already gone. (fade) Yes, it's already gone. Yes, it's already gone.

And when I take a look around me
I wonder how the sun's so sure He knows the way And why he doesn't stray And if he spends the day Looking for another meaning Still don't know what I really believe in Aha! Will someone please put on the light Make me feel all right I've searched my head all night Looking for another meaning I've tried so hard to find What I had on my mind When I had no axe to grind And everything was all right All right! All right! And it looks like everyday Gets a little bit harder For me Me Me Me |

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet Well, another crazy day You'll drink the night away And forget about everything This city desert makes you feel so cold It's got so many people, but it's got no soul And it's taken you so long To find out you were wrong When you thought it held everything You used to think that it was so easy You used to say that it was so easy But you're trying, you're trying now Another year and then you'd be happy Just one more year and then you'd be happy But you're crying, you're crying now Way down the street there's a light in his place He opens the door, he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buying some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands And then he'll settle down In some quiet little town And forget about everything But you know he'll always keep moving You know he's never gonna stop moving 'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone And when you wake up, it's a new morning The sun is shining, it's a new morning And you're going, you're going home |

Genuflect, show respect,
Don't forget it's a papal command Take your seat, all you need Is your rosary beads in your hand. Time to start, cross your heart, Be a part of the mystical band Look at everybody trying to find their own place Looking for a heaven up high Working just to get into a state of grace We know we're gonna need it when we die. Say your prayers, fill your fears Shed your tears, you're afraid of hell's fire As you sit there and pray You'll get carried away by the choir. And the incense is sweet, takes you right off your feet And makes you higher Look at everybody trying to find their own place Looking for a heaven up high Working just to get into a state of grace We know we're gonna need it when we die. Look at everybody trying to find their own place Looking for a heaven up high Working just to get into a state of grace We know we're gonna need it when we die. |

Do you remember back in '64
You came a-knockin', knockin' on my door? Yeah you really got me going But you kept me on ice I didn't care where I was going No I didn't think twice. I was just a young boy, I was so green You were so experienced, you know what I mean Still you really got me going But you kept me on ice I didn't care where I was going No I didn't think twice. Blind faith was all we had (bop she bop) Looking back it all seems kind of sad (bop she bop) We just sat around and watched it all go bad (bop she bop). I said I never thanked you for everything you'd done I had to do a lot of walking before I could run Still you really got me going But you kept me on ice I didn't care where I was going No I didn't think twice. (fade) Blind faith was all we had (bop she bop) Looking back it all seems kind of sad (bop she bop) We just sat around and watched it all go bad (bop she bop). |

Don't you feel like talkin' to a man who's fed up walkin' all the time
Don't you feel like sayin' to a man who's fed up prayin' that you're mine We fought a lot of battles from Nebraska to Seattle, I'm so tired We hid in lonely places and we never seen the faces a?til they fired. Well hear me talkin' (blood and glory) I'm fed up walkin' (blood and glory) I'll tell a story (blood and glory) About blood and glory. When we threw away our sabers and we joined with Preston's Raiders for a while We looted and we plundered while the Yankee cannons thundered, we just smiled But now back home in Kentucky, and I know I've been lucky to survive I never want to see another cannon aimed at me while I'm alive. Well hear me talkin' (blood and glory) I'm fed up walkin' (blood and glory) I'll tell a story (blood and glory) About blood and glory. Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

I sat down to cry
I heard a friend of mine say ‘My, oh my What you doin' down there, boy, with your nose stuck on the ground?' Hear me shout, don't count me out. When the sun goes down You'll find me sitting in a bar in the dark side of the town And if you tell me that I drink too much and that it's going to be the death of me Hear me shout, don't count me out. You say you know me well But you've only seen the outside, so brother, how can you tell? I never listen to your advice 'cause it changes every single day Hear me shout, don't count me out. I sat down to cry I heard a friend of mine say ‘My, oh my What you doin' down there, boy, with your nose stuck on the ground?' Hear me shout, don't count me out. Electric Guitar: Mr. Z.

When we were young we used to sing
And we could feel the harmony You'd sit there waiting in the wings How long have you been waitin' to let your light shine? Many years have gone since then Seen us go our different ways But now we sit here once again Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine. This is the time and place To bring out our memories It's written on every face I can see it in you, you can see it in me. In all the years we had As part of a family tree We knew the good and bad I can see it in you, you can see it in me. I know it's left its mark on you I see the same things in myself You know there's nothin' we can't do We've been a long time waitin', but some things never die. It's time to leave all that behind It's time to lay that ghost to rest We can't deny the ties that bind Tonight we're gonna sing out, tonight our light will shine. This is the time and place To bring out our memories It's written on every face I can see it in you, you can see it in me. In all the years we had (when we were young we used to sing) As part of a family tree (we could feel the harmony) We knew the good and bad I can see it in you, you can see it in me.

I was alone,
I was so tired, down to my bones. And you know everything, Every little moment had lost its ring. (chorus) I found my way to you, you came right out of the blue, And that was all you had to do, and I knew. I couldn't get you out of my mind, you know I reached you just in time, I found my way to you, and it's true. Rise up everyday It felt like you were a million miles away. And I lie down every night, I needed you beside me to make it right. (chorus) (sax solo) I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), And it's true... I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), I found my way to you (Found my way to you), And it's true... |

Nothing is lost
And nothing's gained It's the same old situation again No I can't give or take anymore Gets so lonely There's really nothing left to say Gets so lonely And everything's so far away No one is right And no one's wrong How can I say right now Which side I'm on No I can't give or take anymore Gets so lonely There's really nothing left to say Gets so lonely And everything's so far away Written by: Joe Egan |

We went round in school, wrapped up in cotton wool
Dreaming 'bout the day I'd leave Couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't wait to let out All of those bad memories. Maybe I should mention I could never pay attention To all those educated fools Got to do it my way, forgettin' what they all say Making up my own kind of rules. Yeaaah, Yeaaah Yeaaah, Yeaaah Working at the desk at the local NEB Worrying about my shirt and tie Yeah I had to be clean, and you had to make it seem So's the public wouldn't blink an eye. In walks the boss, still carrying his cross Saying 'You better get it right or else' Yeah I had enough of it, me I'd rather rough it I'm just gonna please myself. Yeaaah, Yeaaah Yeaaah, Yeaaah You were walking when I found out that you're messing round with your mind Know that made you mean and cruel You got to do it your way, forgettin' what they all say Making up your own kind of rules. Got to do it your way, forgettin' what they all say Making up your own kind of rules Making up your own kind of rules. Yeaaah, Yeaaah Yeaaah, Yeaaah |

Goin' down a dusty road, I turned my head a?round
Looking for somewhere to go, a place to lay my head down Check into a small hotel and there before my eyes Stood a man with a trumpet in his hand Trying to make the people understand, he stops and sighs and says "Half a chance Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night Lend an ear, please And the band will play the things you'll want to hear There's no doubt That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout a?Hip hooray!' In the meantime There is only one more thing I'd like to say" Spoke about the well-known faces appearing in the show Star attraction of the evening would be Billy with his big banjo But first of all, a sweet little lady who'd have us all screamin' for more Lily, the striptease queen with the biggest pair you've ever seen. Down and down Went her long black stockings and, as they hit the ground, the boys went mad Everyone agreed That it was the greatest time they'd ever had On and on Now the night was nearly over except for Billy and his big banjo Billy sang a song called a?The Truckdriver Man' And we joined in for a chorus or two and then I went to bed. "Half a chance Give the singers half a chance and they'll sing and dance through the night Lend an ear, please And the band will play the things you'll want to hear There's no doubt That before tonight is over you'll scream and shout a?Hip hooray!'

I can't love you the way that I used to do, but don't tell me I'm using you, losing you Through empty days and lonely nights, it's memorys that keep me here with you There's no getting near to you, and I still don't know what to do, leaving you, loving you.

You been taking it so hard, taking it on the head Don't you know life's as good as being dead Gotta keep movin', don't let it get you down Now you've got nothing to lose. When everyone around you Tells you you're doin' fine They're gonna drive you crazy So don't close your eyes and swallow all those lies Don't believe what you've been told 'Cause you'll wake up one day knowing nothing they say Can satisfy your soul. Gotta keep movin', don't let it bring you down Now you've got nothing to lose. When everyone around you Tells you you're doin' fine They're gonna drive you crazy So don't close your eyes and swallow all those lies Don't believe what you've been told 'Cause you'll wake up one day knowing nothing they say Can satisfy your soul. Looking for something, looking for one thing Trying to find anything that makes you feel You gotta keep goin', don't let it get you down Now you've got nothing to lose.

from Gerry Rafferty - Can I Have My Money Back? (1971)
I walk along the street and wonder what to do
I'd like to ease the pain in my troubled brain But as to how, I haven't a clue Should I shout at the people who pass me by Hey folks look at me, I'm no ordinary guy I had a love and she swore she was mine But she only loved me when the weather was fine. My mind tells me what to do Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know Keep it to yourself. On a subway train, I hide from the rain And take a seat right next to the door There's a man with a case and as I look at his face I'm sure I've seen him someplace before He looks up and I look down And then we both look away The train slows down and my head spins ‘round It's like scene from a one-act play. My mind tells me what to do Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know Keep it to yourself. I feel much better when the sun has lost its glow When the light of day is fading away And there are shadows wherever I go Yes the light is fading and I'm masquerading As a poet with something to say The inspiration's gone and I can't turn it on It's been the same since she went away. My mind tells me what to do Keep it to yourself, tell nobody else Just how you loved her so, they don't want to know Keep it to yourself. |

Late again
When I get home you'll be waiting Still you know there ain't no use in you complaining I know that I can show some respect Especially when I'm wrong But when I get back I know you'll say 'You've been away too long.' I wonder why I stay When everybody's gone (yeah) There's always something there That keeps me hanging on. ooooh, la-la-la ooooh, la-la-la I wonder why I stay When everybody's gone (away) There's always something there That keeps me hanging on. I know that I could show some respect Especially when I'm wrong Late again When I get home you'll be waiting.

I stood and looked across the water
I had to get to the other side Because I knew that you'd be waitin' I didn't want to take the long way ‘round. The captain said the ship was leavin' And that we'd better get on board I settled down to watch the sunrise And wondered if I'd see the sun go down. The sea was rough and the wind was howlin' But I was laughing all the way I didn't care about the weather Because I knew that you'd be waitin' I didn't want to take the long way ‘round Then a stranger sat beside me It was my brother in disguise He said he knew where I was goin' He asked me why I took the long way ‘round. The sea was rough and the wind was howlin' But I was laughing all the way I didn't listen to the stranger Because I knew that you'd be waitin' I didn't want to take the long way ‘round At last, I came to my destination The stranger turned and walked away He didn't know where he was goin' He said he had to take the long way ‘round. I stood and looked across the water I thought of what I'd left behind Because I knew that you'd be waitin' I didn't want to take the long way ‘round. Because I knew that you'd be waitin' I didn't want to take the long way ‘round. Organ/Piano: Tom Parker Lead Vocals: Gerry Rafferty Backing Vocals: Gerry Rafferty / Joe Egan |

Many times I've seen you
Each time you always act the same You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth. You started out saying that you knew me But I've never known anyone like you You said we thought the same, so I just played the game I really didn't mind 'cause I knew that I was winning all the way. It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you 'Cause every time you try to act like a lady, you give yourself away It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you 'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror, I can tell that's who you really are. Why don't you take a look around you? Just try and see the other side Maybe you'll find it strange, or maybe you'll like the change At least you would know there were other people living in the world You can't play the same old game forever Someone will surely cut you down So if you're going to stay around, get your feet back on the ground Find your direction, follow it all the way. It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you 'Cause every time you try to act like a lady, you give yourself away It takes so long to make you, but a whole lot less to break you 'Cause every time I see you look into a mirror, I can tell that's who you really are. Many times I've seen you Each time you always act the same You've got everything you'll ever need, on that we're all agreed I really do believe that butter wouldn't melt in your mouth.

Mary Skeffington, close your eyes
And make believe that you are just a girl again Go to sleep tonight, dream of days When you had something there to light the way. Remember a holiday in a north-of-England town You slept in a room upstairs on a bed of eiderdown. Mary Skeffington, when you wake You mustn't be afraid to face another day Think of what you have, you'll get by You've always been a lady so hold your head up high. Look back on a home where you spent the best years of your life Remember the man who asked you if you would be his wife. Mary Skeffington, close your eyes And make believe that you are just a girl again Go to sleep tonight, dream of days When you had something there to light the way.

Oh Mattie open up the door, that's right I'm home again
You've got a big surprise in store, turn round and count to ten Wait til you see what I got you, well you'll say it's a magic thing It's like an old mandolin man, you just wind him up and he'll start to sing. I've been away for quite a while, and I want to hear all your news Speak to me, let me see you smile, cause I've had those homesick blues When I go down to that city I just don't know wrong from right When I go back to you Mattie, well you make me see the light. Love is a singular thing, it can take you up or bring you down Yes love is a song that I sing, so come on now Mattie listen to the sound When you grow up we'll sit and talk of how things used to be I'll be a grand old man of rock with all these memories. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GERRY RAFFERTY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Sing your song to me, my singing bird
Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard While you're here tonight, we'll be as one For tomorrow you will seek the sun. Sing your song to me, my singing bird Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard Just for the moment I'm asking you to stay For tomorrow you'll be far away For tomorrow you'll be far away. Sing your song once more, my singing bird Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard While you're here tonight, we'll be as one For tomorrow you will seek the sun Yes tomorrow you will seek the sun. |

"Do it on the microphone, thank you, Gerald" (you have to turn it up way loud to hear this)
Sitting here is really bringing me down I think I'll get up and go downtown Have a drink and maybe look up a friend To talk the hours away and hope the night will never end. Look in my pockets to see what I've got I count my money, I don't have a lot The situation is always the same I've got to get out of here, this place is driving me insane. Hold on, I'm getting the new street blues. About a year ago, I knocked on this door I asked my friend if I could sleep on the floor He took me in, said I was welcome to stay I told him then that I was going to pay him back someday. He took me in and all he asked was a song It didn't sound me when I knew it was wrong It got so bad that we were drunk every night And I'd pretend that come tomorrow night things would be alright.

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows. Down the street the neon light shines Offering refuge and hope to the blind You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow. Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no. Oh no no no No no no no The lights are low and the Muzak is loud You watch yourself as you play to the crowd One more face in a palace of mirrors. One more drink, you're sailing away One more dream but it's looking ok One more time to watch the flow of the river. Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no. Oh no no no No no no no no no no oooooooh Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can't say no.

To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car
I took myself one Friday evening To think on a son so deceiving It's one drink down and another to go. He was married in haste to a woman unchaste Much to the shame of the father His face still half-covered in lather It's one drink down and another to go. It's one drink down and another to go When I pass through the town I must hang my head low It's one drink down and another to go. I'm not the kind to condemn out of hand A woman whose virtue is easy Just as long as she doesn't deceive me It's one drink down and another to go. Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife Might wake up in the morning And find that she's left without warning It's one drink down and another to go. It's one drink down and another to go When I pass through the town I must hang my head low It's one drink down and another to go.

To Rafferty's Bar in my old jaunting car
I took myself one Friday evening To think on a son so deceiving It's one drink down and another to go. He was married in haste to a woman unchaste Much to the shame of the father His face still half-covered in lather It's one drink down and another to go. It's one drink down and another to go When I pass through the town I must hang my head low It's one drink down and another to go. I'm not the kind to condemn out of hand A woman whose virtue is easy Just as long as she doesn't deceive me It's one drink down and another to go. Imagine a life with an unfaithful wife Might wake up in the morning And find that she's left without warning It's one drink down and another to go. It's one drink down and another to go When I pass through the town I must hang my head low It's one drink down and another to go.

Patrick my primitive painter of art
You will always and ever be near to my heart I will never cross water, never cross sea We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me. The things that we have are all that we need You have your painting, and I like to Read books by people of feeling, someone sincere They remind me of you and what we have here. Patrick my primitive painter of art You will always and ever be near to my heart I will never cross water, never cross sea We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me. If in our lifetime we find peace of mind We'll remember the bad days that we left behind Thinking only of love and what it can bring You paint songs for the children, a song we'll always sing. Patrick my primitive painter of art You will always and ever be near to my heart I will never cross water, never cross sea We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me. |

Walk in, sit down, open up your case
Tune up, and turn ‘round to show your face to the crowd Sing a song in a genuine bluegrass voice About your big Dixie Darling, the banjo that's always in tune. Please sing a song for us, play your guitar There isn't one of us care who you are But if the sound is good, you won't go wrong Please sing a song for us and we will sing along (so long). Stand up, stretch out to take the hand Of a girl called Rosie who thought your performance was cool Tune in, turn on, stop dead in your tracks At a voice softly singing about some fool on a hill. Please sing a song for us, play your guitar There isn't one of us care who you are And if the sound is good, you won't go wrong Please sing a song for us and we will sing along (so long). Vocals: Gerry Rafferty |

Rick rack, rickety rack
See the train go along the track When I grow up I want to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. My father says that I must always work on the land And I never disagreed when I'd see him lift his hand Mother thinks that I should be a carpenter to trade That I could fill my house with the things that I had made. Rick rack, rickety rack See the train go along the track When I grow up I want to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. I look at the skies, see the birds that can fly, and I feel like cryin' Like a bird on the tree I just want to free so I'll keep on tryin'. Rick rack, rickety rack See the train go along the track When I grow up I want to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. My brother says that I must pay attention at the school Because I've never won a prize, he thinks that I'm a fool Teacher always asks me why I look so far away It's just that I find nothing in the words he has to say. Rick rack, rickety rack I'm leaving home and I'm never coming back I'm on my way to be an engine driver But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver. |

In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away. And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain. Remember how we met, down by the waterside How easily we forget, all the love that we knew. So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago. Remember how we met, down by the waterside How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

Out on the street and the rain is fallin', I got nowhere to go
Here in my heart I can hear you callin' maybe I should come back home I don't know what keeps us together, but I can't break the chain I don't mind a little stormy weather, but I just can't stand the rain. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon. Sleep won't come so you lie there waitin', lookin' at the silvery light Tellin' yourself there's nothin' new, so whatever gets you through the night Meanwhile back in the music business the beat goes on and on I sell my soul to the company man, when there's nothin' else to lean upon. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon. People come and people go, friends they disappear There's only one thing that I wanna know, tell me where do we go from here Everybody's on the make, everybody's tryin' to get ahead In a world like this you just exist to feed the walkin' dead. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon. Lookin' out on a world gone crazy, waitin' for the fun to begin The race is on yeah they're gettin' ready, Jesus what a state we're in Meanwhile down in my backyard I'm sittin' doin' solitary Now that I've milked the sacred cow, I just worry ‘bout the military. Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon Sleepwalkin', deep sleep talkin', reelin' and rockin', wailin' at the moon.

So they made you a star, now your head's in a cloud
Now you're walking down the street with your feet off the ground They read in the press all about your success They believe every word they've been told After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself out in the cold? (ah tell me, ah tell me) When you appear on the stage there's a standing ovation You really live out your performance, you're the biggest sensation You breeze through the door and when you take a floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf? (ah tell me, ah tell me) You breeze through the door and when you take a floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf?

Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time
But I don't feel guilty, cause the time was mine I kept down low, kept down low I walked right out, I had to let it go. Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time Forgot about everything and eased my mind Stealin' time, I was stealin' time But now I know it's time to cross that line. I watched the sky, watched the sky Every day I let the world roll by Sun and rain, sun and the rain It felt so good to know that magic again. Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time Forgot about everything and eased my mind Stealin' time, I was stealin' time But now I know it's time to cross that line. Wait my love, wait my love You'll soon be brighter than the sun up above Wait and see, wait and see Forget about everything except you and me. Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time Forgot about everything and eased my mind Stealin' time, I was stealin' time But now I know it's time to cross that line. (fade) Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time Roll on, cross that line, been so long, stealin' time. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GERRY RAFFERTY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

My daddy was a miner, said there was nothing finer
Than an Irish man who worked an honest day From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine, he'd make his way down to the mine Along the dusty road he'd travel Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row. He used to tell about the time he got hurt down in the mine He said he'd never go back down again But in his heart he knew he would, he did the only thing he could Kept on walkin' down that road Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row. But when he took to drinkin' we knew that he was thinkin' That his days were quickly coming to an end He'd only speak of Steamboat Row, he said someday we ought to go And walk along that dusty road Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row. |

My daddy was a miner, said there was nothing finer
Than an Irish man who worked an honest day From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine, he'd make his way down to the mine Along the dusty road he'd travel Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row. He used to tell about the time he got hurt down in the mine He said he'd never go back down again But in his heart he knew he would, he did the only thing he could Kept on walkin' down that road Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row. But when he took to drinkin' we knew that he was thinkin' That his days were quickly coming to an end He'd only speak of Steamboat Row, he said someday we ought to go And walk along that dusty road Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row. |

from Reservoir Dogs (저수지의 개들) [ost] (1992)
Well I don?t know why I came here tonight. I?ve got the feeling that something ain?t right. I?m so scared in case I fall off my chair, and I?m wondering how I?ll get down the stairs. Clowns to the left of me! Jokers to the right! Her I am stuck in the middle with you. Yes I?m stuck in the middle with you, and I?m wondering what it is I should do. It?s so hard to keep this smile from my face. Losing control running all over the place. Clowns to the left of me! Jokers to the right! Here I am stuck in the middle with you. Now you started off with nothing and you?re proud that your a self-made man. ooooo-ooo-oooh and your friends they all come crawling, slap you on the back and say Please . . . Please . . . Trying to make some sense of it all but I see it makes no sense at all. Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor? I don?t think that I can take anymore. Clowns to the left of me! Jokers to the right! Here I am stuck in the middle with you. Now you started off with nothing and you?re proud that your a self-made man. ooooo-ooo-oooh Now your friends they all come crawling, slap you on the back and say Please . . . Please . . . Well I don?t know why I came here tonight. I?ve got the feeling that something ain?t right. I?m so scared in case I fall off my chair, and I?m wondering how I?ll get down the stairs. Clowns to the left of me! Jokers to the right! Her I am stuck in the middle with you. Yes I?m stuck in the middle with you . . . Yes I?m stuck in the middle with you . . . Yes I?m stuck in the middle with you . . . Yes I?m stuck in the middle with you . |
