It Was Late Friday Evening in a hard luck December
I saw Looey again I'll always remember
We was laughing and singing in a bar that was dying
When he played the guitar he did everyone's crying
Chorus:All the Girls Was Lookin' Good
Looey did the best he could
Everybody Understood
When Looey Played Damaged Goods
Looey Played the Damaged Goods
He had black and blue all under his eyes
From concussions and colisions and headlong dives
Into Women and Walls in a punching bag life
You lay and you play in the key of Survival
He wore a gray Fedora and he looked mighty scary
Every line in his face held a vision he buried
Then turning away he blew a kiss to a fairy
And closing his eyes he blew a hundred hail MAry's
Chorus
Wise men can talk about the rich and the poor
And the poets who go knockin' right on Heaven's Door
But they can't say nothin' bout no friend of mine
It's Put up or Shut up the stakes: lay your life on the line
When they close the bar down they turn all the lights up
Everybody turns ugly everybody shuts up
But his pockmarked face shone like aq diamond in the rough
And he swayed and we played and called the night's bluff
Chorus

Still Life
03:24

Still Life Freeze Frame
2 Hearts remain in the back light of yesterday's dream
A Still Life of you and me
Sometimes I feel like looking back
When I see your face I just cry til I laugh
At A real life insane but it's
Still Life All the same
You got your wish now you're free
Freedom's a gift that means nothing to me
All of my life I've tried to escape
But there's Still Life Everyday
Just an old photograph pasted to a page faded and aged
I can still hear you laugh just like
Nothing has changed and I turn to that page
Again and Again Again and Again and Again and Again
Now there's Still Life in front of me and the
Mistakes I make I try not to repeat
But I don't feel right til I turn to that page
With our Still, Life that's one thing that no one can change
No one can change
baby there's still life and that's One Thing that no
one can change

Today
04:17
|

I thought I'd seen some things
Seen miracles and dreams
And I never lost my way until
Today Today
I thought I'd seen it all
But now it all has changed
And nothing kills my pain
Today Today
Things will never ever be
The way they used to be
There'll be no yesterdays tomorrow's just the same
Do you remember who you were
Today
I tried to take it in but now I wish
it would just go away
I never was one to pray until
Today Today
How I miss those little things
Kissing Beggars kings and queens
Never thought I'd lose my way
until Today Today
Today Today Today Today Today Today Today
Things will never ever be
The way they used to be
There'll be no yesterdays tomorrow's just the same
Do you remember who you were
Today
My piano man has gone
And my whiskey ain't that strong
Guess I'll sing this song alone
Today Today
Today

Dreams Come True

Stand up and take it, take it like a man
I'm gonna take everything you give me
It's more than I can stand
It's all or nothing-I bet my dreams on you
Take all my lovin but tell me Dreams Come True
chorus:
Dreams Come True
Say they do Say they do Say they do
Dreams Come True
Say they do Say they do
And I'll stand up and take it
Stand up and take it, all of your abuse
I'm gonna tow the line
Hide each and every bruise
When you love someone there ain't nothin' you can do
You're oh so hung up you have to see it through
chorus
I'm gonna stand up and take it
one more time
ain't nobody here can move me or make me change my mind
I'm gonna stand up and take it
Until the day you see
Nobody here can love you,baby nobody here but me
chorus

Desperately
03:08
|
|||
Desperately, standing in the night
Desperately, waiting for your light
Anxiously waiting til your husband's gone
Desperately, hoping that we'd be alone
Come to me just one more time
Before I go I want to know the reason why
WE need each other Desperately
We're more in love than we meant to be
And I need you to stay by me
Desperately I need you Desperately
Desperately like a thief at night
Desperately, I'm gonna wait til the time is right
Hear me slip the lock from your door
Desperately you know what I cam here for
Come to me just one more time
Before I go I want to know the reason why
WE need each other Desperately
We're more in love than we meant to be
And I need you to stay by me
Desperately I need you Desperately
Call me 'cause I need you to explain
Call me 'cause I still don't understand
no oh no why
WE need each other Desperately
We're more in love than we meant to be
And I need you to stay by me
Desperately I need you Desperately

Home Away from Home
03:57
|
|||
Like a rock'n roll band
We do the show then it's time to go
Put the tent up bring the tent down
I'm a carnival man
I eat with the freaks
And I sleep with the geeks and the Siamese and the bearded lady
I was 17 and stuck between working in a coal mine
walking on the wild side
Looking for a miracle and running for my life
CHORUS
To my Home Away from Home
The only place where I belong is my
Home Away From Home
Where I'll grow old
And I've seen me some things
I've had some nights and I've lost some fights
And I made a few friends cheated some men
Every night I can see it in their eyes they're
Working in a coal mine
Walking on the Wild Side
Looking for Miracles and Running from their lives
CHORUS
And you will find me
Playing by the rules in a paradise for fools
And I'm a vanishing breed
America;s not the way she was
And there's no more room for people like me
One more night 'neath the midway lights
We're workin' in a coal mine
Walkinm' on the WIld Side
Lookin for a miracle in your town tonight
CHORUS

Sweeter
03:30
|
|||
they say you should be scared when you come around here
but I come here every night
this ain't no place for kids you got to keep things hid
got to know just what you like
first you knock 2 times then you give the sign
then you step into the light
Sweeter than an apple from Eden
Sweeter is a bad bad seed
When you gettin'what's forbidden
It's Sweeter each and every time
Come on Now step inside eyes open wide
Baby tell me what you want
No no no don't be shy look me in the eye
This is no place for diletantes
You gonna make new friends
It's the living end this will be your favorite haunt
Sweeter than an apple from Eden
Sweeter is a bad bad seed
When you gettin'what's forbidden
It's Sweeter each and every time
Break down all those old taboos
Everybody wins you never lose
Locked doors calling out to you
Lose all you'll never do
Get loose hey you
Now don't you tell no one about the things we've done
Ships will sink when lips are loose
If I ever heard that you said a word you can bet
You'll get the blues
But come tomorrow night when the moon is bright
And I'll show you something new
Sweeter than an apple from Eden
Sweeter is a bad bad seed
When you gettin'what's forbidden
It's Sweeter each and every time

Hope Street

Let's go down to Hope Street buy us a bottle of wine
Let's go down to Hope Street find us the King of Dimes
My spirit's broke I Got no Hope
So I want to go and have a time
And I don't want to know Why you can't go
I thought you were a friend of mine
Take me down the river I believe we need to relax
Take me down the river, baby
I'll float you on my back
And when that WIld Turkey smiles I'll just glow inside
Won't be nothing in the world I lack
And I don't want to know Why you can't go
I thought you were a friend of mine
I'm feeling oh so low I need your help my friend
So get me high I got to get high
So I can get up I want to get up
Help get up again
Let's go down to Hope Street
Please treat me kind
If you take me down take me down to Hope Street
You can have my very last dime
And I don't want to know Why you can't go
I thought you were a friend of mine
No I don't want to know Why you can't go
I thought you were a friend of mine
