Lady With The Spinning Head - (6:06)

Here she comes
Lady luck again
Figure of eight
Six and nine again

I...I...
My lady with the spinning head

Whatever the deal
She won't let me down
Wherever I go
She's always hanging 'round

My lady with the spinning head
La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head
La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head

She's been gone
But I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent
She put me in the black

I...I...
The lady with the spinning head

Mean old men
Took away my car
Those credit guys
Have got the power

I'm on top
When she's around
She's my ticket
Out of town

La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head
La la la la la la la la la la la
Lady with the spinning head



Dirty Day - (4:40)

I don't know you... and you don't know the half of it
I had a starring role... I was the bad guy who walked out
They said be careful where you aim
Because where you aim you just might hit
You can hold onto something so tight
You've already lost it

Dragging me down
That's not the way it used to be
You can't even remember
What I'm trying to forget

It was a dirty day
A dirty day

You want explanations...
I don't even understand
If you need someone to blame...
Throw a rock in the air
You're bound to hit someone guilty

From father to son
In one life has begun
A work that's never done
Father to son

(And love... it won't last kissin' time)

Get it right
There's no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say
Nothing's simple as you think

Wake up
Somethings you can't get around
I'm in you
More so when they put me in the ground

It was a dirty day
A dirty day
Hank says
THE DAYS RUN AWAY LIKE HORSES OVER THE HILLS



Summer Rain - (4:07)

When you stop seeing beauty
You start growing old
The lines on your face
are a map to your soul

When you stop taking chances
You'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer
But it'll feel like it

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
In the summer rain

Tequila and Orange
Jamaica and rum
At the Morella
Honey on my tongue

In a small boat on a generous sea
You let me be your enemy
Tiny hand
With a grip on the world
Holding our breath now
Diving for pearls

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
Now there's no one else
In the summer rain

Raining down
Raining down
Rain

Raining now
Raining now

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself

It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do

It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong



Electrical Storm - (4:26)

The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking

On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days, swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out

You're in my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry

Car alarm
Won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake
Dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee is cold
But it'll get you through
Compromise
That's nothing new to you

Let's see colors that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been

In my mind
All of the time
I know that's not enough
Well if the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry

It's hot as hell
Honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Need the rain will wash away our bad luck

Well if the sky can crack
There must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm

Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry
Oh baby don't cry



North And South Of The River - (4:36)

I want to reach out over the Loch
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder

I want to see, and I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river

I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running from what he didn't understand
The wind from the Loch just get colder, colder

There was a badness that had its way
But love wasn't lost, love will have its day
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Can we stop playing these old tattoos
Darling I don't have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender

'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
There's an old church bell no longer ringing
Some old songs are not worth bringing
North...
(Higher ground is not worth taking)
North and south of the river



Your Blue Room - (5:26)

It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room

The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough fun hanging 'round here
It's a different kind of conversation
Your blue room

Saw me coming
In outside
Saw me coming
Somewhere I can hide

And time is a string of pearls...your blue room
(I'm a swinger)
See the future just hanging there...your blue room
A new frame, a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
Your instructions whatever their directions
Your blue room

Saw me coming
East by the moon
Saw me coming
Can you feel

(It's allright)

Your blue room

One day I'll be back...your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at...your blue room

We see me slide
Won't you give me a home
So much for change

Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can't do without
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what no one knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone



Happines Is A Warm Gun - (4:45)

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

She's not a girl who misses much
She's not a girl who misses much

Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd
With the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes wide open
And the hands busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

Hey, I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
To the bits that I left uptown

I need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown
Need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown

Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
[Repeat until end]



Salomé - (5:51)

Baby please
Baby please don't go
I got lies to feed
They want skin and seed
Now don't make me crawl

Baby please
Baby don't bite your lip
Give you half what I got
If you untie the knot
It's a promise

Salomé... salomé
Salomé... salomé
Yeah yeah yeah

Baby please
Baby what's that tune
Well I heard it before
When I crawled from your door
And my blood turned blue

Baby please
Baby please slow down
Baby I feel sick
Don't make me stick to my promise

Salomé... salomé
Salomé... salomé
Salomé... salomé

Baby please
Baby don't say no
Won't you dance for me
'Neath that cherry tree
Won't you swing down low

Please
Baby please say yes
Baby don't go away
You're spilling me
And your precious love

Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Shake it shake it shake it salomé
Salomé...

(I got to, got to get you)
(I got to get you)
(I got to, got to get you)

Alright now

Under the spell of your love
Under the spell of your love



Even Better Than The Real Thing - (6:38)

Give me one more chance
And you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won't be denied

Well my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight

(Check it out)

You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing

Give me one last chance
And I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring

You're honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last chance
We'll slide down the surface of things

You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing

We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight

Oh now
Here she comes

Take me higher
Take me higher
Can you take me higher ?
Will you take me higher ?

You're the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing

Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing

Mysterious Ways - (4:08)

Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You're been living underground
Eating from a can
You're running away
From what you don't understand

She's slippy
You're sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground

It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways

Johnny take a dive
With your sister the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel... (on your knees boy !)

She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
Lift my days... light up my nights

One day you'll look back
And you'll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling

It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright
We moves through miracle days
Spirit move in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days and light up my nights



If God Will Send His Angels - (5:42)

Nobody else here baby,
No one else here to blame,
No one to point the finger...
It's just you and me and the rain...
Nobody made you do it,
No one put words in your mouth...
Nobody here taking orders
when love took a train heading south...
It's the blind leading the blond,
It's the stuff the stuff of country songs...

HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
Would everything be alright ?

God has got his phone off the hook babe,
Would he even pick up if He could ?
It's been a while since we saw that child hangin' round this neighbourhood...
See His Mother dealing in a doorway,
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl,
Jesus sister's eyes are blister...
THE HIGH STREET never looked so low...

It's the blind leading the blond...
It's the cops collecting for the cons...
So where is the hope and where is the faith...
And the love ?
What's that you say to me,
Does love... Light up your Christmas tree ?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse,
And the cartoon network turns into the news...

HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS...
WHERE DO WE GO...

Jesus never let me down,
You know Jesus used to show me the score...
Then they put Jesus in show business,
Now it's hard to get in the door...

It's the stuff it's the stuff of country songs,
But I guess it was something to go on...

HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
I SURE COULD USE THEM HERE RIGHT NOW,
WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS...
WHERE DO WE GO...
(Scat singing)



Lemon - (5:29)

Lemon
See through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
Never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
But when you're dry
She draws water from a stone

I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowlys slipping under
I feel like I'm holding on to nothing

She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light
To look for her

And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

Lemon
See through in the sunlight

A man builds a city
With banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can

See the world outside   You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car   She's your destination
And builds roads to run (them) on   You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving   She's imagination
But he always stays behind

And these are the days when our work has come assunder
And these are the days when we look for something other

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through light projected
He can see himself up close   Gotta meet her there
A man captures colour   She's your destination
A man likes to stare   There's no sleeping there
He turns his money into light   She's imagination

To look for her
She is the dreamer
She's imagination
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close



Discothèque - (5:45)

You can reach,
But you can't grab it...
You can hold it, control it
You can't bag it...

You can push,
But you can't direct it...
Circulate, regulate, oh no,
You cannot connect it...

You know you're chewing bubblegum,
You know what that is,
But you still want some,
You just can't get enough,
Of that lovei dovei stuff...

You get confused,
But you know it,
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, LOVE...
You don't always show it...

LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHÈQUE

Looking for the one,
But you know you're somewhere else instead...
You want to be the song,
The song that hear in your head...

LOVE...

It's not a trick...
You can't learn it...
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay,
'Cause you can't earn it...

You know you're chewing bubblegum,
You know what that is,
But you still want some,
You just can't get enough,
Of that lovei dovei stuff...

LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHÈQUE

Looking for the one,
But you know you're somewhere else instead,
I want to be the song,
Be the song that you hear in your head...

LOVE

Your Love won't be enough,
I don't need your love,
Soon you will be done...


But you take what you can get,
'Cose it's all that you can find,
Oh, you know there's something more,
But tonight, tonight, tonight...

Discothèque   I can't get in, I paid, not enough...   Boom Cha
Discothèque   I can't get in, I paid, not enough...   Boom Cha
Discothèque   I can't get in, I paid, not enough...   Boom Cha
Discothèque
