| A RIDE IN THE LIZZY MOBILE | A SONG FOR WHILE I'M AWAY | |
| Currently Unavailable | These words I wrote, play and sing to you Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say Now I'm headed for the border You see this song it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be coming home to stay You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true You're all I have Please heed me now these words I have to say |

| ANGEL FROM THE COAST | ANGEL OF DEATH | |
| The Sacred Heart is bleeding Go tell the Holy Ghost. That the junkie is still cheating To get the thing he needs the most. Lady Luck has me covered Keeping her watchful eyes over me. The lovers are discovered The charge is first degree. Angel, she's a killer Just flown in from the coast. Makes the hit, it's a winner Leaves you dead past the post. Sally took to playing poker The Joker is her favourite card. The drunk he can't stay sober He says it's much too hard. Meantime something seedy Was happening across the hall. Somebody seemed to be groaning You could hear it through the wall. The cops they came like lightning The bullets flew astray. The noise it was frightening The crook....... he got away. |
Oh my god There's millions of them! I've seen a fire start in Frisco The day that the earth quaked I've seen buildings a-blazing Throwing up in flames I heard men, women and children Crying out to their God for mercy But their God didn't listen So they were burned alive They went down, down, deep underground In the great disaster I was hanging out in Berlin In the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty nine I've seen Hitler's storm troopers March right across the Maginot Line I've seen two world wars I've seen men send rockets out into space I foresee a holocaust An angel of death descending to destroy the human race Down, down, deep undergound A great disaster In the sixteenth century there was a French philosopher By the name of Nostradamus Who prophesised that in the late twentieth century An angel of death shall waste this land A holocaust the likes of which This planet had never seen Now, I ask you Do you believe this to be true? I was standing by the bedside The night that my father died He was crying out in pain To his God he said, "Have mercy, mercy!" His body was riddled with a disease Unknown to man so he expected no cure But before he died that night He was lost, insane He went down, down, deep underground A great disaster You'll go down, down, deep underground A great disaster I think they've got now! |

Midnight in the big city At the bar drinking all on my own Just thinking about that girl and me How something's going wrong Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace? The back room boys Were all telling me I'm a borderline case Back on the borderline one more time Seven beers and still sober It's time to change to something stronger I cannot take this scene no longer She could have told me it's all over Back in my home town The old place is still the same But time can cast a spell over something You can't go back again Back on the borderline one more time Mister, fill me another Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around Just pass that bottle one more time And slowly drink it down Jeanie can I tell you? The shame of my disgrace It's just love or rejection For this borderline case Back on the borderline one more time I'm on my bended knees crawling I'm begging you darling |

fifthy-four Hey baby, maybe 'cause my baby had a baby by me And I was still drinking dry gin while you cried "No, no more" And you were lyin' and a-cryin', and your tears fell dying on the floor And I'm brought down, and I don't think I can get up again Brought down, my heart is hurt again You were the fine lady in the early mornings that always painted her toes And lookin' towards the east you'd say hello to the early dawn before they rose And you were the love lady that always hung up her finely pressed clothes And sayin' so long to the western sundown, you taught me how it grows And I'm brought down, and I don't think I can get up again Brought down, and you just hurt my heart again Brought down Brought down I'm brought down Brought down Brought down Brought down Down I'm brought down, and I don't think I can get up again I'm brought down, I'm hurt, it's bad [Brought down] God, it's a shame there's no more Dr. Strangely Strange [Brought down] And I'm Brou.....[Brought down]......ught down [Brought down] And there must be more to life than this |

Buffalo Gal, due to these circumstances there's no more dances Buffalo gal, [Buffalo] all your chances of further romances will have to be nil 'til I can get it sung Is a shame your only claim to fame is Jessie James You know his middle name That's very strange Stranger, you knew a friend called the Friendly Ranger Oh, ya shared the danger {repeat chorus} Buffalo {repeat 16 times} Buffalo Gal, you must try a big step You've got a big jump ahead Buffalo gal, the show left town spreading sunshine all around And it's bad to see ya, ooh, lookin' blue Dry your eyes and I'll apologise for all the lies Try a smile and in a while, just in a while you'll be smiling through Ooh, Buffalo Gal, they're closin' down the old dance hall [Buffalo {repeat 10 times} Gal, Gal] And Buffalo Gal, oh, you look so good somehow [Buffalo {repeat 9 times} Gal] Oh Buffalo Gal, oh, that's such a pretty dress [Buffalo {repeat 8 times} Gal] Buffalo Gal, the show left town [Buffalo {repeat 8 times} Gal, Gal] Buffalo Gal, take a picture of Buffalo Gal [Buffalo {repeat 10 times}] |

| DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT (IT'S CAUGHT ME IN IT'S SPOTLIGHT) | DEAR HEART | |
| When I passed you in the doorway You took me with a glance I should have took that last bus home But I asked you for a dance Now we go steady to the pictures I always get chocolate stains on my pants My father he's going crazy Say's I'm living in a trance But I'm dancing in the moonlight It's caught me in its spotlight It's alright, alright Dancing in the moonlight On this long hot summer night It's three o'clock in the morning And I'm on the streets again I disobeyed another warning I should have been in by ten Now I won't get out until Sunday I'll have to say I stayed with friends But it's a habit worth forming If it means to justify the end |
Dear heart I wish you could see that Dear heart You mean the world to me Man with the broken heart filled with lead Suffered and he fought for what he believed The fighting is over now, the man is dead A martyr for the cause Man with the golden arm, his face gone pale Taken too much junk, he's gone over the rale Breathes out a sigh and his body wails He's gonna land in trouble, land in jail He'd give his life, give his everything To reach that goal and take that last and final fling But I guess it's just another story In the greatest story ever told Dear heart I wish that you could see that Dear heart You mean the world to me |

He stuck that knife right into her gut I want to tell you she was lucky with what she got But what she got was not enough She played around Don't play around I tried to tell her he was not so dumb I tried to warn her there was something wrong She wouldn't listen, she continued on She played around If you give your love to someone and someone treats you bad If you give your love to someone and someone makes you mad If you give your love to someone it can be so sad Don't play around Don't play around He left her dying in the pool of blood And she was crying oh my god oh my god But she was no good, she was no good She played around Don't play around She'd be laughing and dancing the night away She'd be laughing and dancing with every man that came away But as her life's blood slipped away I thought I heard her say Don't play around Don't play around |

| If you want your freedom There is nothing planned If you really need him I will understand Please believe in love I believe there is a God above For love And He's coming, yes He's coming If you want to fly Then fly away All the cloudy skies Belong to yesterday Please believe in love I believe there is a God above For love And He's coming, yes He's coming In the shadows the swallow dies No one knows the hobo hides There is no need to apologize This is the story of a downtown sundown If you climb the mountain You will see There is no great distance Between the Lord and me Please believe in love I believe there is a God above For love And He's coming, yes He's coming In the shadows a swallow dies No one knows the hobo hides There is no need to apologize This is the story of a downtown sundown |
After our affair I swore that I'd leave Dublin And in that line I'd left behind The years, the tears, the memories and you In Dublin At the quays friends come and say farewell We'd laugh and joke and smoke And later on the boat I'd cry over you In Dublin How can I leave the town that brings me down That has no jobs Is blessed by God And makes me cry Dublin And at sea with flowing hair I'd think of Dublin Of Grafton Street and Derby Square And those for whom I really care and you In Dublin |

| EIRE | EMERALD | |
| In the land of Eireann Sat the high king Faced with the problems The dreaded vikings Gather all the men folk Speaking the Celtic tongue The land is Eireann The land is young Stands Red O'Donnell Fighting the Saxon foe With Hugh O'Neil Oh All along the north land They fight bitterly The land is Eireann The land is free |
Down from the glen came the marching men With their shields and their swords To fight the fight they believed to be right Overthrow the overlords To the town where there was plenty They brought plunder, swords and flame When they left the town was empty Children would never play again From their graves I heard the fallen Above the battle cry By that bridge near the border There were many more to die Then onward over the mountain And outward towards the sea They had come to claim the Emerald Without it they could not leave |

| FOOLS GOLD | FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO LIVE | |
| In the year of the famine When starvation and black death raged across the land There were many driven by their hunger To set sail for the Americas In search of a new life and a new hope Oh but there were some who couldn't cope And they spent their life In search of fool's gold The old prospector He makes it to the four lane highway His old compadre Lies dead in the sand With outstretched hands He cries, "Are you going my way?" The people passing by don't seem to understand The curse of fool's gold Broken Joe just lying in a gutter He's gone as low as any man can be He calls for wine but they'll only serve him water The bartender say "We don't sell sympathy" He tells a strange story About his father How Sunday mornings they'd go down To the church on the corner As time grows older His thoughts they grow younger It is his wish To search no longer for fool's gold The vulture sits on top Of the big top circus arena He's seen this show before Knows someone is going to fall Just near the part Where the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerine Forgets that the safety net Isn't there at all Down he swoops with claws drawn to take her Razor sharp so savagely is she mauled Oh my god, is there no one who can save her? In steps the fox to thunderous applause Fool's gold |
Up jumped Jack on the railroad track Said "I've got to get out of town" "It's been really nice knowing you" "Hope to see you around" Oh the boy he could boogie Oh the boy can kick a ball But the boy he got hung up Smooching in the stalls You've got to give a little love To those who love to live You've got to take a little hate From those who have to wait Up jumped John putting his trousers on Saying "I've got to get out of here" "Hear your lover's footsteps" "They're coming to near for me my dear" Oh the boy he could boogie Oh the boy can kick a ball But the boy he got hung up Making love against the wall You've got to give a little love To those who love to live You've got to take a little hate From those who have to wait |

| THE HERO AND THE MADMAN | HEY YOU | |
| The hero he rode a white horse Across the desert to where his woman was He'd been riding for four days When he saw the tower where she was locked In the moonlight he left his old steed Near the drawbridge that he crossed And by way of a rope ladder He tip-toed to where his woman was If I recall you're the actor Who followed the stars Searching for The lost city of Mars Hoping time would heal the scars Knowing fate held no bars Are you the one That I think you are? Are you the hero or are you the madman? The madman climbed The steeple spire "Go higher" said the crowd From down below "But...the world's on fire" cried the madman From the steeple spire "You're a liar" cried the crown From down below The madman climbed the steeple spire And let a crystal ball tear Fall on the crown From down below If I recall you're the actor Who took to the stage Set the world ablaze With your anger and your rage With every new leaf You turned and wrote a new page Cleverly concealing Your real age Those that knew you Were always quite amazed Are you the one Who can take this praise? Are you the hero or are you the madman? "You're the only one" "who can save us" Said the wizard "Or all is lost" |

The man finds himself alone for the first
time in his life He's always got a problem, he's got to work it out wrong or right He's got to work it out, he's so lonely in the night He's got to work it all alone Now who in the world would believe that he's got another trick up his sleeve And who in the world wants to know which way should he go Which way should he turn? Which way should he learn? Which day should he stop? Which way to the top? I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it's all pain He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain Now who in the world would have know That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown Through the rain, the sleet and snow But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul So the let the cold winds blow What he doesn't see he doesn't know I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all He said, "Watch out for the danger" He said, "Watch out" The man is a winner for the first time in his life He looks a little thinner but he says "Hey that doesn't matter" But if you look closely You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind And now that he has won it doesn't matter how or which way it was done Now that he's in control, revenge is in his heart and soul The power is at his fingertips, vengeance is on his lips But the power he fought to control now has got him in its grips I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then But now we're all grown up and we're strangers You see, bit by bit, part by part, we slipped and slipped Till we'd grown apart and now we're strangers |

| JAILBREAK | JOHNNY | |
| Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in this town See me and the boys we don't like it So were getting up and going down Hiding low looking right to left If you see us coming I think it's best To move away do you hear what I say From under my breath Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak So don't you be around Don't you be around Tonight there's gonna be trouble Some of us won't survive See the boys and me we mean business Bustin' out dead or alive I can hear the hound dogs on my trail All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail Like the game if you lose Go to jail Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak So don't you be around Tonight there's gonna be trouble I'm gonna find myself in Tonight there's gonna be trouble So woman you stay with a friend You know it's safer Breakout! Tonight there's gonna be a breakout Into the city zones Don't you dare to try and stop us No one could for long I can see the Searchlight on my trail Tonight's the night all systems fail Hey you good lookin' female Come here! Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak Somewhere in the town Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak So don't you be around Tonight there's gonna be trouble I'm gonna find myself in Tonight there's gonna be trouble So woman you stay with a friend |
Somewhere on the waterfront Johnny's hiding with a gun Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story He's not sorry for what he's done He broke into a drugstore To cure his daily need He didn't mean to shoot the guard But he was blinded by the greed Oh Johnny You see that nun, she's his sister She doesn't know that he's gone bad When they told it to his father It drove the old man mad Just as his mother warned him From her dying bed It's alright to lose your heart But never lose your head Oh Johnny Now the cops have got him surrounded And he doesn't stand a hope He wonders how he could be in so much trouble Over just a little dope Five to one he gets away That's the odds I'm going to give Five to four they blast him away Three to one he's going to live Oh Johnny Back in the alley where he was slain I thought I heard something move Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain The picture had been removed Just another juiced up junkie Looking for a bed It's alright to lose your heart But never lose your head Oh Johnny |

| KILLER ON THE LOOSE | KILLER WITHOUT A CAUSE | |
| Some people they call me Jack Some people they call me insane I'm looking for somebody And I don't even know her name I might be looking for you Wherever you may be For there is something I've got to do to you honey And it's between you and me Now you might think it's fun Or maybe it's a joke But you've got plenty of reason to worry honey `Cause you wouldn't stand a hope There's a killer on the loose again A killer on the loose There's a killer on the loose again A ladykiller on the loose Now I'm not trying to be nasty Or I'm not trying to make you scared But there's a killer on the loose Or haven't you heard He'll be walking around this town Just about midnight Yes, that's Chinatown That's right That's right Now you might think I'm messing Or he don't exist But honey I'm confessing I'm a mad sexual rapist There's a killer on the loose again A killer on the loose There's a killer on the loose again A ladykiller on the loose "I'll be standing in the shadows of love Waiting for you Don't unzip your zipper `Cause you know I'm Jack the Ripper Now don't wail, don't..." There's a killer on the loose again Standing in the shadows A killer on the loose There's a killer on the loose again Coming to get you A ladykiller on the loose There's a killer on the loose again Standing in the shadows of love A killer on the loose There's a killer on the loose again A ladykiller on the loose There's a killer on the loose again Standing in the shadow A killer on the loose, of love There's a killer on the loose again Oooh A lady killer on the loose You better watch out There's a killer on the loose again A killer on the loose Play that back Check it back There's a killer on the loose |
He made a big impression When he walked across the room And I must make my confession I might have spoked too soon He's a killer Without a cause The time is right To settle scores On the streets he lives again Down the alley and round the bend On the beat beneath the light An angel comes to claim the light From the streets This rebel shall rise His soul shall soar Through the skies The same old confrontation At the bar in the saloon But it's just another tricky situation The underworld operation lies in ruins He's a killer Without a cause The time is right To settle scores |

| LEAVE THIS TOWN | LITTLE DARLING | |
| I better keep myself from being busted I better keep myself out of jail 'Cause I ain't got a friend to get me trusted That's why my mama sends my money through the mail I've been down on my luck I've been down on my wealth I'm gotta stop taking care of business Start taking care of my health I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight Well I set off down the main street With such a long, long way to go But before I started I was cornered on the corner Still waiting for my sugar to show I've been down on my luck I've been down on my wealth I've gotta stop taking care of somebody's else's business Start taking care of myself I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight I was fooling around with the sheriff's daughter She was a real fine fox But the sheriff he came after And threatened to lock me in a cell box He showed me his magnum He showed me his shotgun He stuck it in my face And said, "Boy, I think you best be gone" I've gotta leave this town I've gotta leave this town behind I've gotta leave this town tonight |

| Little girl in bloom With happy heart you wipe aside Any sadness, sorrow or gloom Tomorrow you'll be a blushing bride That loves her blushing groom Little girl in bloom You watch the men play cricket From the window in your room See the ball go from bat to wicket Pass away the afternoon Little girl in bloom Carries a secret The child she carries in her womb She feels something sacred She's gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react Little girl in bloom All the clouds will go drifting by So sing your lullabying tune Every word is in your eyes As you sit and softly croon Little girl in bloom Your love it fills the air With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume You feel so good you just don't care You're gonna be a mammy soon When your daddy comes home Don't tell him till alone When your daddy comes back Go tell him the facts Just relax and see how he's gonna react |
In the dismal darkness I have sat and gazed, amazed At the blazing factories Like the lonely man Who stands on the seashore And I am afraid As weary as I am I try I seem to see that things look ok Run, run in your skin Look what the wind just blew in Many lovely ladies I have felt, touched And I was not afraid I took them out dancing Out romancing And I was not afriad Then somewhere from the north This gale I knew just flew in And I am afraid Run, run in your skin Look what the wind just blew in Run, run in your skin Look what the wind just blew in Run, you got to run in your skin Look what the wind just blew in Look what the wind just blew in You got to look what the wind just blew in You got to look what the wind just blew in |

| MAMA NATURE SAID | MASSACRE | |
| Mama Nature said "It's murder what you've done" I sent you forth my brightest world Now it's nearly gone Birds and bees Been telling me You can't see The forest for the trees You cover up your lies With sympathies And I got no solutions To your persecution Mama Nature said "I can't believe it's true" I gave you life and food for thought Look what did you do You're killing my rivers Drowning my baby streams Day by day by day by day I hear them scream I'm so disillusioned I'm so disillusioned Mama Nature said "You're guilty of this crime" Now it's not just a matter of fact But just a matter of time Cruel will be the vengeance So savage is the deed that's done And I've got no solutions To your own pollutions |
At a point below zero There's no place left to go Six hundred unknown heroes Were killed like sleeping buffalo Through the devil's canyon Across the battlefield Death has no companion The spirit is forced to yield There goes the bandolero Through the hole in the wall He's a coward but doesn't care though In fact, he doesn't care at all The general that's commanding He's defending what he fears While the troops they are depending On reinforcements from the rear If God is in the heavens How can this happen here? In His name, they used the weapons For the massacre There is a point below zero Where the sun can see the land Six hundred unknown heroes Lay dead in the sand |

| They say that the night life They say it ain't no good life But it's my life I've been a gambler I've been a thief And most of my good friends They don't hold with my belief They say that the night life They say it ain't no good life Oh but buy you know that it's my life And if you've had troubles If you've felt them woes I don't have to tell you How this whole world is so low Hey now baby It can drive you crazy Oh but baby Baby, the night life's for me Just one more time I'll hit the road And I want to thank you I want to thank the Lord For that old night life Some say it ain't no good life But baby, baby There ain't nothing like this night life |
Hey listen closely Listen while I tell you Why he loves you And what he misses mostly It's pointless his pretending He's got a broken heart A broken heart That needs mending You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again He's going crazy He's reckless Without you baby He's helpless It's deadly how you broke him He's a fool Without you baby I'm not joking You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again Now when I'm down My friends they come around And when I'm upset My friends they help me forget But how can he forget? He hasn't got a friend 'Cos no one told him You didn't want to see him again He's all washed up and washed out Without you baby Every place he goes He's thrown out He's turned vicious He's malicious Just goes to show how much he misses You know what He wouldn't tell me You didn't want to see him again You didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I couldn't tell him You didn't want to see him again I didn't tell him You didn't want to see him again |

| OLD FLAME | OLD MOON MADNESS | |
| There's a girl I'll remember Oh for such a long, long time This girl I'll remember She was an old flame of mine Beneath the stars just sipping wine Young lovers then in summertime I'll always remember That old flame of mine Love, she comes and gove True love, she hides then shows My love, may I propose That love she comes and goes Two hearts together two hearts alight To keep us warm on winter nights With each dying ember I remember that old flame of mine Once this flame it did brightly blaze Among the ashes there still remains A glowing spark in my heart For that old flame of mine |
Late, sometime before midnight He comes creeping up And before you get him sussed He's gone before dusk And when you arise Red ruby rings circle your eyes If it's later than you realized Check with the stars and the skies Old moon madness has struck again A howl in the dark light A flash of teeth bright white A scream and a bite Old moon madness has struck again tonight But there's no need to worry For the crimes that you've done Worse has been committed With no moon madness to blame it on Old moon madness has struck again In fact you could say you're lucky You and me Mother Earth has only one moon And not three |

Senorita dance cheek to cheek ooh la-la... We will dance off into the sky |

I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin', And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'. Me? I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber. But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah. Musha ring dum a do dum a da. Whack for my daddy-o, Whack for my daddy-o. There's whiskey in the jar-o. And I got drunk on whiskey-o And I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love my Molly-o. |

| WILD ONE | WITH LOVE | |
| Wild one won't you please come home You've been away too long, will you We need you home, we need you near Come back wild one will you How can we live without your love You know that could kill you How can we carry on When you are gone my wild one So you go your way wild one I'll try and follow And if you change your mind I will be waiting here for you tomorrow For I would beg for you I would steal and I would borrow I'd do anything, anything at all To end this sorrow Wild one The gypsies warned of the danger You can laugh and joke with friends But don't you ever talk to strangers Although their offers may be sweet And I'd bet and I would wager Away you'll stray and never come back To those who love and made you |
It's a tedious existence laying your love
on the line Resistance is useless she can leave at any time I must confess that in my quest I felt depressed and restless But this Casanova's roving days are over more or less With love She broke my heart and made me sad You foolish boy you lost what you had My Mademoiselle I must make my farewell You see Senor I know she don't want me no more I'd like to make that Fraulein mine, mein Fraulein So I'll depart sweetheart and leave you with this line With love She says she won't be back no more With love She says she's leaving for sure My Mademoiselle I'll say farewell No matter where you are, Au Revoir 'Til we meet again, Auf Wiedersehn She wrote it on a letter But it didn't make him feel any better With love She says goodbye, adios, farewell There are those who will spend a lifetime of leisure 'Til the leisure finally takes control And they'll spend their life in search of pleasure Never knowing the treasure that they own There are those who will spend a lifetime in hard labour 'Til the labour breaks both body and soul And they will learn to love their neighbor And be assured of what they own |
