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... |

from Nazareth - Snakes'n'ladders (1989)
You didn't listen when you went to school
You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool But now your education is about to begin The difference between love and the mess that you're in You figured you're cool I'll bend all the rules I'll get them going red flags to a bull It's not like the movies no duel in the sun You need the answer to get your love done Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school You know the business or so you believe You set all your sights but you aim to deceive You think you'll hit the target every time that you fire You think you know the difference between love and desire But someone's waiting to turn you around She'll shoot you down and put your feet on the ground It's not like dreamin' you can make mistakes A lesson learned is not so easy to take Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school You're doin' numbers but you don't keep the score They're scratchin' the surface but they don't Reach the core You only bought the ticket ‘cause the price was "all in" You'll never reach the heart until you,ve broken the skin You're busy running but you never relax Live now pay later including the tax But now your education is about to begin Forget about the stories and the places you've been Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school Back to school back to school (MCCAFFERTY,AGNEW CHARLTON,SWEET) COPYRIGHT 1989 M.A.C.S.

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!

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 |

Hard times comin' so the messenger said
Better guard your liquor like your own homestead Took it under cover, then we took it underground In temptation, we had another round Governor came, bout eleven or twelve Under so much pressure,couldnt help himself Word got out to the national guard Spread like a fire in a lumber yard Saddle up boys, and call up the mission A hundred strong in the providence hall Pray boys for the prohibition Damn that demon alcohol Cavalry came, and we were tumblin? dice Wouldnt let them in cos they wouldnt ask nice Drank to the health of friends and foe Thanks to the lord, but he never did show Second wind gone as the second wave came Manned in command, in the presidents name Kept at bay, kept knockin? at the door Couldnt care less cos we all wanted more Saddle up boys and call up the mission A hundred strong in the providence hall Pray boys for the prohibition Damn that demon alcohol Dried up supplies till the morning sun Never realized where it all couldve gone List up boys, its plain to see Hell is merely sobriety Saddle up boys and call up the mission A hundred strong in the providence hall Pray boys for the prohibition Damn that demon alcohol Saddle up boys and call up the mission A hundred strong in the providence hall Pray boys for the prohibition Damn that demon alcohol The saddle up, boys You better pray, boys Saddle up, boys You better pray, boys Damn that demon alcohol. |

Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned One more mistake to my cause One more hand got lost In a game. So I was up for awhile Livin' in style Feelin' high on the hog And people just don't wanna know I was down. Now some say I lost His other soul How barely a young man Can sink so low And I don't know... don't care at all. I had a similar dream All of my dreams I can't get through for a while I thought I had wandered a mile I was wrong Now I'm on the way up When you reach the top It's no way, no way to go And people just don't wanna know When you're down Now some say I lost His other soul How barely a young man Can sink so low And I don't know... don't care at all.

Lord I swear, the perfume you wear Is made out of turnip greens And every time that I kiss you girl It tastes like pork and beans Even though you're wearin‘ them Citified high heels I can tell by your giant steps That you've been walkin' through cotton fields Ohhhhhh, you're some down home girl Your shoes are green, your dress is red And your wiggy head is powder blue But underneath all of that mess, Well you're still the same old messy you You're sittin there in that fancy chair Just drinkin' champaigne like a movie star When ya oughta be sittin' on a sidewalk Drinkin white lightnin' Out of a jelly jar Oh, you're some down home girl Dimples in your pretty cheeks And dimples in your knees You walk by and baby I Can smell magnolia trees You tell me you're from New York baby But I know you're from way down South I can hear a Mississippi mama Evey time you open up your mouth Oh, you're some down home girl Oh, you're some down home girl |

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes I feel I've been hung on a line, Wasting my time. Sometimes I feel I've been hung upside down, You turned me around, just a fool about you. Sometimes I feel I've been left on the moon, Fed with a spoon. Sometimes I feel like a dog with no bone, Or a toad with no stone, just a fool about you. Sometimes I feel like saying goodbye 'Cause I'm living a lie. Sometimes I feel like a clock with no time, Or a verse with no rhyme, just a fool about you. Sometimes I feel like a bird with no wing, Or a bee with no sting. Sometimes I feel like a train with no line, Or a glass with no wine, just a fool about you. Everybody knows I'm a fool about you, Gonna fool, just a crazy fool. Everybody knows I can't live without you, So what am I gonna to do? |

Shouldn't come by anymore But I found myself in trouble, darlin' And I have no place else to go. I got some whiskey from a bottle Got some cocaine from a friend And I had to keep on movin', darlin' Till I was back in your arms again. And I'm guilty, I am guilty And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life. How come I'm never gonna do What I'm supposed to do Seems like everything I do Never turns out right. That's how it is with me, darlin' You know I just can't stand myself But it takes a whole lot of medicine, darlin' For me to pretend that I'm somebody else. |

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.

I'm goin' back to New York City
Times Square sure will be shinin' bright I know it sure looks pretty But I don't go down every night. I'm gonna take in Memphis You know the one down in Tennessee And if you wanna boogie Now that's the place to be. Sittin' in a bar in Macon Drinkin' something called Rebel Yells When I thought I heard someone ringing I guess she's a southern bell. We just cut out of El Paso It just fries there in that desert sun And if you've ever been down there, man Then you know why we run. I got jet lag And livin' out an overnight bag Time changes every day They do things a different way Back in the U.S.A. Tryin' hard to make a phone call "Long distance over seas" "Yes, ma'am, I did say Scotland" "Could you spell that again for me please?" Way down west to Colorado You know that it just blew my mind I'd love to go back there next trip I sure hope we get some time. Driving down a Detroit freeway Just lookin' at those concrete walls Hey but it's a good town to rock'n'roll in "What do you mean the police closed the goddamned hall?" Flyin' home tomorrow To be there's gonna be just great And after some time with my lady I'm gonna be back to rock'n'roll in the States. (copyright 1974 mountain/carlin music) |

See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile Empty love's burned out traces See them walking down midnight mile Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean See them skate where the ice is thin Empty love that's a cold emotion See the tears falling in the rain Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you See the mist on the magic mountain Watch the moon in a blood red sky Empty love that's a dried up fountain Never change and never ask him why Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you.

See the boy with the aching smile Empty love's burned out traces See them walking down midnight mile Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean See them skate where the ice is thin Empty love that's a cold emotion See the tears falling in the rain Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you See the mist on the magic mountain Watch the moon in a blood red sky Empty love that's a dried up fountain Never change and never ask him why Juliet look what love has done to you Juliet love has made a fool of you.

Who took the smile out of your face
Who put the tears and sadness in its place Who took the sun out of your sky Don't turn around or ask for reasons why No place to run, nowhere to hide It's just another love turned bad Some smoke that's gettin' in your eyes It's just another heartache,just another heartache Just another hurt to take Another bridge for you to cross It's nothing but a heartache, nothing but a heartache Just another big mistake Another game you have lost It ain't nothing but a heartache Always wore your heart out on your sleeve You said you'd always cared and needed to believe There comes a time to give, there comes a time to take But a sentimental heart will be the first to break Don't try to run Don't try to hide It's just another love turned bad Some smoke that's clouded up your eyes.

I got no time to eat
I got no time to sleep I got a truck full of stuff Should've been there last week I've been livin' in truck stops My body feels used Got the hamburger that's right, yeah The kentucky fried blues Flyin' high in my cab Got my foot on the gas Got to get there tonight Showin' nothin' but a pass Tired of livin' in truck stops, have mercy My body feels used Got the hamburger, that's right, yeah Kentucky fried blues Even in the fast lane Seems to slow down my brain Got one hell of a deadline Riggers do not complain Tired of livin' in truck stops Lord my body feels used Got the hamburger that's right yeah, yeah, yeah Kentucky fried blues.

Two bucks an hour You can hire a car You can go most anywhere That depends on who you are You can be your own boss Takin' your own time The sun shines all the time California girls look fine You can truck on down the strip any time of night Pull an L.A. Lady to treat you right Stay home call her on the phone Sayin' come on over baby I hate to be alone L.A. Girls in the sunshine L.A. Girls in the rain I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again I'm gonna go back again Every one's in movies And every one's a star But most of them are fillin' in time Workin' in some bar They sure don't live in Bellaire Like they planned to be Their names ain't in the sidewalk For everyone to see But you can truck on down the strip any night Pull an L.A. Lady to treat you right Stay home call her on the phone Sayin' come on over baby I hate to be alone L.A. Girls in the sunshine L.A. Girls in the rain I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again I'm gonna go back again Word gets ‘round the band's in town They're bustlin' ‘round the hall Readin' last months Rolling Stone Talkin' Rock and Roll They got all the answers For everything you say And even if you pass them by They gonna tell you anyway But you can truck on down the strip any time of night Pull an L.A. Lady's gonna treat you right Stay home call one on the phone Sayin' come on over baby I hate to be alone L.A. Girls in the sunshine L.A.

There's a woman in New Orleans
Said to love me she was born But that was Friday payday By Sunday she was gone So I drove on down to Texas Where I did not do to well I fell hard for this woman child Turn ou she came from...well Lady Luck help me hold on Lady Luck help me hold on To one that I love Well I had no luck with women Thought I'd try my hand at cards So I headed for Nevada Gonna really take them on But the way the hands were fallin' And the way the money goes You could say it's getting colder You could say I nearly froze Lady Luck help me hold on Lady Luck help me hold on To one that I love So I started playing guitar In a southern boogie band And the ladies I was meeting Make you want to buy the farm Gettin' tired of saving souvenirs Don't remind me where they're from And the nights come on like magic In the morning it's all gone Lady Luck help me hold on Lady Luck help me hold on To one that I love Lady Luck help me hold on To one that I love Lady Luck help me hold on Lady Luck help me hold on To one that I love Lady Luck help me hold on Lady Luck help me hold on (MCCAFFERTY,AGNEW,CHARLTON,SWEET) COPYRIGHT 1989 M.A.C.S.

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.

When the sun crashes into your world
Look around and you try and find your girl And you’re daring, too sick of what you see Out of town is the only place to be When your life starts to run out of juice Feel like dyin’ and you just want to get loose Prayin’ moves don’t make much sense to you Seeing red before your feeling is blue Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn Going back, getting out of this town Stretch it lean and mean, it turns you around Take your dreams and stretch them out on the street Take your turn to get back on your feet Feel the wheels singin’ over the ridge Feel the song like "Oakland" take you All the time you knew you had the itch All the girls were glad to see you Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn Girl in ol’ “V” won’t pray Don’t give you a hard time All the girls from Brooklyn say Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn Do you remember the day you left the block Your mama said you would live to regret it Coming home, coming stoned, come in hope, coming ready Are you holding steady Last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn....last exit Brooklyn |

Here I am, sitting on my porch Thinkin' my life has got to be beyond reproach Have I forgot some friends close to me Real ones that don't use me And does my woman love me now Like she loved me then Here I am,my defenses are down Will she remember me when I'm not around Will she still dream by me Or will she find a new life Will I ever get used, to being alone at night I'll never know, but would it do me any good if I did Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid Lift the lid I'll never know, but would it do me any good if I did Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid Lift the lid (WORDS AND MUSIC BY NAZARETH) COPYRIGHT 1975 JENEVIEVE MUSIC (BMI) |

It seems to me I’ve heard that song before
Far off in some distant land Or it may have been upon some foreign shore Burning in my heart again I’ve seen the sounds and I have felt the air Drumming in my dreams again Deja vu I don’t know now or then Enemy or maybe friend Oh but for the love of freedom Oh but for the love of you I would never, ever have seen this day So please forgive me if I weep no more For friends and lovers far away There’s been too many times to hear the names Of friends who have stayed away Maybe now and then you still recall the pain As though it was yesterday Oh but for the love of freedom Oh but for the love of you I would never, ever have seen this day So please forgive me if I weep no more For friends and lovers far away For friends and lovers far away |

Since you came into my life
It's the same old situation Empty days and lonely nights Filled with bitterness and frustration. Walking lonely in the cold Tryin' to find the answer Spend my money on a crystal ball And the charms of a gypsy dancer. Tryin' to break the spell you hold on me [Chorus] You're miss misery That song you lay on me Set me free, set me free Please, please, please Everyday is filled with shame My nights are filled with anger Hollow lies, forced denial If you told the truth I can't remember. You know I've got to find my way Got to find a reason Got to find your weakness So I can end your witchin' season. Got to break the spell you hold on me [Chorus] Can't think how I got myself Caught up in this nightmare Evil schemes, midnight screams Come on somebody listen to my prayer I'd give all I've got to give Just to find my way out Got it going but I can't let go I'm trapped on this crazy 'round about Tryin' to break the spell you hold on me [Chorus] |

Light with the mornings goes
I live a long, forgotten shadow Love with the morning goes And what to do I just don’t know The moon is on the run Another day to up and lay low Maddogs and noonday sun I need the darkness to show Moondance.....Moondance There goes a setting sun That’s when we turn from strobe to struttin’ Turn on the city lights ‘Cause you know I’m moody blue Moondance....moondance The women shadow box They’re dancing tough but the ice is melting The music gives what it’s got The moon is looking at you Moondance.....moondance......moondance |

Silent ref?ence to defenses raised higher Than we?l ever need The more we try, flame inside gets colder to the touch Taking for granted, gets taken for granted too much So come on and move me Let me feel you move me Prove me wrong, show me I still belong Come on and move me Let me feel you move me like you used to She never asked anything of me That I could ever be Now we?e lyin?in the shade Sharpenin?the blades of our rivalry Untidy lies, they could never disguise The truth behind the door Feelin? grow nearer, then disappear again some more So come on and move me Let me feel you move me Prove me wrong,s how me I still belong Come on and move me Let me feel you move me like you used to There can be no contention, come on and move me Let me feel you move me Prove me wrong, show me I still belong Come on and move me Let me feel you move me like you used to Move me, come on.

And I saw her glidin' on a moon beam Silver stardust in her eyes In the way she leaves her sighs.

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. |

I've seen that girl before, I've seen the boys come and go
And still she's on her own I've seen those tears before, I've seen her heart break She knows what it means to be alone There must be another way to spend her life While she is waiting She knows the dangers there,these love affairs Run hot, run cold and always take their toll It's another lonely night inside those empty rooms She knows will never be a home There must be etc. For one from the heart She's on her knees One from the heart, that's all she needs One from the heart, she can believe I've seen that girl before, I've seen boys that come and go And still she's on her own I hope somewhere, somehow,Ssomeday she'll find that special one before her heart turns cold.
