Blind Sober
It took a while for the penny to drop,
I lived in a madness I couldn’t stop
I know the devil is a man without hope
But I couldn’t cope, I couldn’t cope
I’m going to tell you the truth, I’m going to quit playing ‘round
Going to stand up so straight though you’ve seen me fall down
I’m going to tell you how much I need you ,
and you can laugh when it’s over. You think I’m drunk
But I’m blind sober.
Yes I’ve got a girl but she means nothing to me
I’m out of rehab soon you’re the one I want to see
And you’re keeping clean well that’s good to hear
There’s nothing to fear, there’s nothing to fear.
Let’s jump life like a train and ride far away
What do you say, what do you say.

The Magician
You’ve got an easy charm, you’ve got the moves
You’ve got a way of distracting a fool.
Maybe that sleight of hand, it may be that smile
That got me thinking you couldn’t be cruel, but I was a fool
I know why they call you the magician, you and the devil made a pact
I know why they call you the magician
You did a low-down, dirty, double-dealing
Disappearing act
What was up your sleeve, it wasn’t love
All that I got was an illusion of you
So did you care or not, I’ll never know
I saw the fake, the tricks, was nothing true, not even you?
Chorus
I thought I had you but I was wrong
Woke up this morning and you were gone. You were gone.
You’ve got an easy charm, you’ve got the moves
You’ve got a way of distracting a fool.
Maybe that sleight of hand, it may be that smile
That got me thinking you couldn’t be cruel, but I was a fool

Train-whistle Hurt

Train whistle hurt
A case of train whistle hurt, a wave and they’re gone
A daughter, a son, all grown up
A case of train whistle hurt, time slipping away
Hoping for tomorrow, holding on to….
Today…takes me back to the time when a young you and I set up home
And yes it’s a struggle to set out and face this big world on your own
Today…as the train slowly leaves and the platform is empty and grey
We walk hand in hand to the car silently, nothing we can say.
Today…..should be joyful ‘cos we did ok, some way, some how
And yes as the light starts to fade we’ve still got the here and now

S.O.B.
We know exactly what you’ve done. This time you’ve gone too far
That man you shot square in the back, was this sweet girl’s dearest pa.
She’s hired me to bring you in and make you pay
Dead or alive it doesn’t matter either way
So fill your hands you son of a bitch, fill your hands you son of a bitch.
You’re gonna get what’s coming to you, You’re gonna get what’s coming to you
So you rode off into the hills. Didn’t think that you’d be found
Hope you and your boys have seen a priest, ‘cos I’m gonna put you in the ground
I’ll bring you peaceably or I can use brute force.
You can ride in a wooden box or strapped across your horse
So fill your hands you son of a bitch, fill your hands you son of a bitch.
You’re gonna get what’s coming to you, You’re gonna get what’s coming to you
I got good whisky on my breath, don’t underestimate a drunk,
I’m just too good at shooting straight and I never miss a punk (like you)
She’s hired me to bring you in and make you pay
Dead or alive it doesn’t matter either way
So fill your hands you son of a bitch, fill your hands you son of a bitch.
You’re gonna get what’s coming to you, You’re gonna get what’s coming to you

Santa Claus (that old deceiver).
Santa Claus (that old deceiver)
You think he’s kind and friendly
Because he rides the sky in his sleigh
He’s got some kind of sexual magnetism
He’ll steal your woman away
Santa Claus, stole my baby
Santa Claus, put her on his list
Santa Claus, that old deceiver
Santa Claus, he really does exist!
He hypnotized her with his ho, ho, ho,
As she jumped into his sack
He said son she’s my girl now
You’re never getting her back
Guess I’m the Christmas turkey
Put in the oven to roast
All I wanted was love for Christmas, he said
Your letter got lost in the post
If you think you’re safe ‘cos you’re gay
And that fat old man wouldn’t try
Let me tell you that he doesn’t care
If you’re a woman or a guy
