Life the Universe and blue suede shoes.
So, what do you know, what have you learnt to keep you sane
Talk in four four time and make it rhyme, be glad you came
See, hear, smell, touch taste it
Be careful not to waste it
Life the universe and blue suede shoes
We’ve got no time to rehearse, no time to lose.
Don’t be on your own, don’t sing alone find harmony
Croon your serenade, make life’s parade your rhapsody
See, hear, smell, touch taste it
Be careful not to waste it
Life the universe and blue suede shoes
We’ve got no time to rehearse, no time to lose.
Life is luck and chance, a wild blind dance so let it swing
Roll until you rock, can’t beat the clock, just ask the king
See, hear, smell, touch taste it
Be careful not to waste it

Punch Drunk.
I can’t sleep ‘cos the roof’s leaking
Is that a rat or the floor board creaking
Live in a house full of woman freaking
And I just fade
Running out of fat but I’m still frying
Look like I’m living but I might be dying
They say I’m lazy but I’m really trying
Dump on my parade, why don’t you dump on my parade.
It’s just one thing after another.
It’s just one more thing I can do without
It’s just one thing after another
Feel like a punch drunk boxer in another bout
I’m not high but I keep on falling
My life’s like a car just keeps on stalling
Cover my ears and they keep on calling
And I can’t hide
Got nothing left but I keep on going
Lost my paddle but I keep on rowing
Feel like I’m dressed but something’s showing
It’s a long and bumpy ride, long and bumpy ride
OK
Why worry
Slow down
Don’t hurry
Ease up
And let go
Enjoy the highs
And ride the lows.
It’s just one thing after another

Baby's got the blues

Baby’s got the Blues.
She’s the queen of Prozac that’s for sure
Why open one eye when you can close the door
She keeps on trying but she can’t try no more
Baby’s got the blues again
Baby’s got the blues again
And there’s nothing no, no nothing I can do
She tries to hate me just to ease the pain
There’s only one small word that keeps her sane
I’m in the sunshine and she’s stood in the rain
Baby’s got the blues again
Baby’s got the blues again
And there’s nothing no, no nothing I can do
And I know why, we’ll get by
She can see the coastline, can’t catch the tide
She won’t send up a flare, no she’s got her pride
I’m at the party and she’s standing outside
Baby’s got the blues again
Baby’s got the blues again
And there’s nothing no, no nothing I can do

Chicken wing.
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re all the same to me
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re blind if you can’t see
You say that you care
But you don’t care one bit
I can’t hear you talk
‘cos your mouth’s full of shit
You political fool
Don’t give a damn where you sit
You still say nothing to me
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re all the same to me
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re blind if you can’t see
You think you can tell
The whole world how to live
If I can’t forget, well I can never forgive
You egotistical fool
I hope you get what you give
Take the money and run
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re all the same to me
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re blind if you can’t see
I don’t mean to curse, when you play fast and loose
If you want my respect, kiss my old caboose.
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re all the same to me
Left wing right wing chicken wing
You’re blind if you can’t see

Beer

Beer.
Just give me one bottle of beer ‘cos two is too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then three is not enough
I know that drinking won’t make my sky blue
I know that alcohol messes with you
But I won’t be touching it I’ve learned my lesson by now
Just give me one bottle of beer ‘cos two is too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then three is not enough
Just ‘cos you left me don’t think I won’t cope
You won’t find me dangling at the end of a rope
But I might just have one to relax my troublesome mind
Just give me one bottle of beer ‘cos two is too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then three is not enough
It’s hard to resist when the thirst takes a hold
But I won’t drink too much don’t need to be told
But I really need something to help me get out of this head.
Just give me two bottles of beer ‘cos three is too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then four is not enough
Just give me five bottles of beer ‘cos six is too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then seven’s not enough
Just give me eight bottles of beer ‘cos nine is too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then ten is not enough
Just give me more bottles of beer ‘cos I don’t know what’s too many
But if you set ‘em up ready then more is not enough
More is not enough, more is not enough, more is not enough.

I love you but...

I love you but.
Three little words can open your heart
But four simple words can tear it apart
He’s still reeling as the door slams shut
And all she said was “I love you but…”
She was the one, there’s no two ways about it
She was the one, his heart could never doubt it.
And one year later to even the score
He marries a girl he doesn’t care for.
Three little words can open your heart
But four sneaky words can tear it apart
He’s still filming but the happy ending’s cut
And all she said was “I love you but…”
He carries on, a husband full of maybe’s
He carries on, and his wife full of babies
And some time later, he has an affair
With a woman her met sometime, somewhere
Three little words can open your heart
But four dirty words can tear it apart
He’s leaving his family ‘cos his life’s “in a rut”
And he says to his kids “ I love you but…”
They’re still reeling as the door slams shut and all he said was “I love you but…”

Touchwood Jones
A more unlucky man you would never meet
People avoided him when they saw him on the street
The God’s conspired against him, don’t know why
They were hungry, wanted someone to fry
As a baby boy he must have broke’ every bone
His Mum and Dad would leave him every time they moved home
He never questioned why the world would pick on him
He just stood there and took it on the chin.
And you can still hear the moans, still hear the moans,
still hear the moans of touchwood Jones
you can still hear the moans, still hear the moans,
still hear the moans of touchwood Jones
Sitting in a bar when he was hit by a truck
Walking past a wrecking ball when he forgot to duck
Diving off the board when they were draining the pool
Picking up a horse-shoe, he was kicked by a mule
And you can still hear the moans, still hear the moans,
still hear the moans of touchwood Jones
you can still hear the moans, still hear the moans,
still hear the moans of touchwood Jones
Karma’s gonna save you Jonesy
Karma’s gonna save you
And then he met a woman with looks that could kill
She did things to him to shock and tease and thrill
She gave him loving through the night and through the day
You could still hear him moaning on the day he passed away
And you can still hear the moans, still hear the moans,

Slaughterhouse red
03:59

A shade of slaughter house red
The other woman was painted up to win
Slipped on her ruby heels and grabbed her heart of tin
He wasn’t royalty the night he came to roam,
into her bedroom like a stray without a home.
Those scarlet kisses he could not remove
His infidelity was so easy to prove.
She saw his gold band, she didn’t care,
As he ran his fingers through her hair
A shade of slaughter house red was the lipstick she used
A shade of slaughter house red made that man blow a fuse
A shade of slaughter house red was the colour she saw
The night he walked out that door
But he was different, she said “You better call”
Her love appeared like graffiti on a wall
And so it started, neither knew where it would go
He drove home every night, his wife would never know.
A shade of slaughter house red was the lipstick she used
A shade of slaughter house red made that man blow a fuse
A shade of slaughter house red was the colour she saw
The night he walked out that door
The lipstick on his neck, it branded him a cheat,
Brought his wife to tears and brought him to his feet.
He said “I’ll end it, it was just a bad affair.”
She said “You do it now!”. He drove right over there.
The other woman screamed and shouted when he said
He only loved her when drunk and in her bed.
He said “It’s over”, turned to walk into the night
She found that little gun and pulled the trigger tight.
A shade of slaughter house red was the lipstick she used
A shade of slaughter house red made that man blow a fuse
A shade of slaughter house red was the colour she saw
The night he walked out that door.

Bread and Water.
I love the smell of the morning rain
I love to see a rolling, foaming breaker
I love the sound of a moving train
To see my breath in a cold December
But I’ve got a motor-mouth heart
Telling me nothing new
It’s saying
All I need is bread and water and you
All I need is bread and water and you
I could swim beneath the coral sea
I could be rolling down a snow peaked mountain
I could fly with the world below me
I could go bathing in the Trevi fountain
Call it a lover’s blind side
My therapist says it’s true
He tells me
All I need is bread and water and you
All I need is bread and water and you
You’re all the world I need to see
You’re every planet to me
And all the wonders of this planet fade
If you’re not with me tell me what do I do
And all the pleasures evolution’s made
Won’t be as sweet if I can’t taste them with you
I’ve got a motor-mouth heart
Telling me nothing new
It’s saying all I need is bread and water and you
I’ve got a motor-mouth heart
Telling me nothing new
It’s saying all I need is bread and water and you
All I need is bread and water and you
All I need is bread and water and you

Save a little daylight
03:35
|

Save a little daylight
When I come home and I’m feeling sad and lonely
Feel like nobody in the world could care
When all I need is a little piece of your love
It’s good to know that you’ll be waiting there
Save a little daylight for the night time
A little sunlight for the right time
A little daylight for me
When everybody seems to know which way they’re going
And I still bluff my way through everyday
Thinking of all the things I should be doing
Waiting for that miracle to light my way
Save a little daylight for the night time
A little sunlight for the right time
A little daylight for me
Oh that feeling of driving home from work
Can’t beat that feeling of driving home from work
Save a little daylight for the night time
A little sunlight for the right time
A little daylight for me
Save a little daylight for the night time
A little sunlight for the right time
A little daylight for me

Squeeze it right

Squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight
Take it like a present wrapped up in a bow
Hold it like a lover, like you’ll never let it go
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
It’s tough but it could get tougher
Science keeps him afloat
In a world where we all can suffer
His life is a capsized boat
No compass to hand
A million miles from dry land
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight
She tries but she keeps on failing
Why does she carry on?
In a race where she may be trailing
Who know if it can be won
You think she’s had enough
She’s gonna call your bluff
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight
Take it like a present wrapped up in a bow
Hold it like a lover like you’ll never let it go
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Wishing, hoping, praying
Some days when I can’t find meaning
Feel like I’ll disappear
Your love keeps me believing
That rocky road is clear
And as we take this ride
We do it side by side
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight

Blacksheep

Black sheep.
I walk in the room and
Somebody cries
I tell a joke
Somebody dies
I don’t try to be
Something I’m, not
I don’t mean to upset you but,
I seem to do it a lot
‘Cos I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
If I’m always left
You’re always right
If I blow a kiss
It starts a fight
Can’t shut my mouth
I gotta talk
I find these eggshell floors
Wherever I walk.
‘Cos I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
I may be a scapegoat or a dirty rat
I may be a mean old dog….or a pussy cat
But I’m the black sheep, black sheep, black sheep, black sheep.
I touch a nerve
I don’t know how
You take the stage
You take a bow
So here we go
Some things don’t change
You take your biggest shot
I’m always in range
‘Cos I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
‘Cos I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
I’m the black sheep, the black sheep of the family
Baa, baa, baa .baa. baa. Baa. Baa., baa
