Put on that song
Because I want to sing
Turn it way up loud
I want my ears to ring 
Put on that song
The one that makes me blue
It’s just a song
And it always was just you

Go on tell that joke
The one I’ve heard before
While my mind wanders
And leaves me unsure
I’m already gone
Although we were true
And in the end, it always was just you

Dreams crash and burn
While life gets in the way
Lovers come and go
And death will have his day

Some soothing words
In a message from you
Beauty in your soul
What am I to do?
Lovers come and go
But one thing is true
That in the end it always was just you

Dreams crash and burn
While life gets in the way
Lovers come and go
And death will have his day

Put on that song
Because I want to sing
Turn it way up loud
I want my ears to ring
Lovers come and go
But one thing is true
That in the end
It always will be you
Always will be you
Always just you
Always just you

Baby I Love You

Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn’t easy to explain
And though I’m really trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can’t wait another day
When you kiss me I’ve just got to say

Baby I love you
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love only you

I can’t live without you
I love everything about you
I can’t help it if I feel this way
Oh I’m so glad I found you
I want to wrap my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel the same

Baby I love you
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love only you

And though I really keep trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can’t wait another day
When you kiss me I’ve just got to say

Baby I love you
Baby, I love you
Baby, I love only you

Black Ghost

Black snake crawling across my hand
Talking like a natural man
Telling me he got a plan
Trouble knocking on my door 
It’s a black snake

Black ghost smiling from a painting on the wall
Black ghost is a shadow
Cast by the memory of it all
Trouble knocking on my door 
It’s a black ghost

Black ghost quit your talking
In my dreams at night
Black ghost quit your walking
Through my room in the twilight

Crawling across my bedroom floor
Trouble knocking on my door
It’s a black snake

Black ghost quit your talking
In my dreams at night
Black ghost quit your walking
Through my room in the twilight

Broken Love

Love goes round like a broken record
Same old bullshit again and again
What went wrong with our beautiful love
Now we’re drowning in a septic pus
You were my everything
Love was good, love was a dream
You were my guiding light
Now I’m alone all in the dark

Love lies in tatters
Try to forget the pain
Thought I’d love forever
Now I’m drowning in a pool of shame

Our love was never ending
Best friends lovers until the end
How could I be so blind
Just another sucker join the line
Love coated in sugar candy
Blinded by lust I couldn’t see
Burning love
Burning love
Burning love in ecstasy

Love lies in tatters
Try to forget the pain
Thought I’d love forever
Now I’m drowning in a pool of shame

Brown Eyed Boy

We’ll stay home and call this day our own
You’re the brown eyed boy that I once called my own
You sit in the easy chair while I comb out my soft red hair
Later we can watch a candle burn

I’ll put on your favourite scratchy record
And draw the heavy curtain when dusk falls
Don’t seem like you’re in the mood for dancing now my dear
So I’ll just comb my hair some more
Did you forget to lock the door?

Dreaming of the past and happy times that are now gone
And the brown eyed boy that I once called my own

I’ll put on your favourite scratchy record
Draw the heavy curtain when nighttime falls
Don’t seem like you’re in the mood for dancing now my dear
So I’ll just comb my hair some more
Did you forget to lock the door?

Dreaming of the past and happy times that are now gone
And the brown eyed boy that I once called my own

If I could just turn back the hands of time 
And wash my own to free me of this pine
Never more for me the summer sun will shine
And neither for the boy I left behind

And if your mother should come calling
So long from her son she had not heard
I can boast that you’ll be true to me forever more
Now in my hands I hold your head
My fingers stained with crimson red

Dreaming of the past and happy times that are now gone
And the brown eyed boy that I once called my own

Buy Beg Or Steal

You’ve got a hunger 
For the good life you missed
I should have it better
And I should have it now

Buy buy buy beg or steal
Get on my knees and kneel
Buy buy buy beg or steal
Buy buy buy beg or steal a life from you
Let my dreams come true
Or leave me be

You once knew hunger
And you once new cold
But I won’t return to
The hardships of old

Buy buy buy beg or steal
Buy buy buy beg or steal a life from you
Let my dreams come true
Or leave me be

My mother came here
Had no soles on her shoes
So I Would give my life for 
My kids right to choose

Buy buy buy beg or steal
Buy buy buy beg or steal a life from you
Let my dreams come true
Or leave me be

Death By My Side

You’re sure to make it on your own
You’re sure to make it on your own
You’re so safe and sound with a heart that’s true
Surrounded by people who love and care for you
So where’s my courage
Where’s my will to live and survive
Where’s my trust in the good in life
I’m just a passenger with death by my side

Ain’t nobody crying danger
Ain’t nobody crying wolf
So why oh why can I hear their howls
Every waking moment of the here and now
So where’s my courage
Where’s my grit and strength to survive
Where’s my passion and the love that never died
In my life as a passenger with death by my side

So where’s my courage
While I close the curtains on the world outside
Hide In the darkness while my time I bide
In my life as a passenger with death by my side

Depression

I can’t sleep
I can’t eat
I feel a force knock me off of my feet
The light’s gone out and there’s nowhere to run
And I fall down down into a deep depression

You sucked the life out of me
Cut the mains drained the energy
Somebody’s gone and rammed a stake through my heart
A ghost from the past a cry in the dark
The light’s gone out and there’s nowhere to run
And I fall down down into a deep depression

Gonna take a drive to I don’t know where
Roll the windows down
Feel the cool night air
Make me feel alive get into gear
I gotta run run run from this deep depression

Darkness closing in on me
Why can’t you set me free
Drink drink drink numb my mind
Happy pills for the daily grind
Well the light’s gone out and there’s nowhere to run
And I fall down down into a deep depression

Down On Your Knees

Drink drink another swig
Make me a viper you a pig
Fight fight another night
Oh yeah

Sad sad
Sad and lame
Losing at your own game
Mad mad you’re losing it for sure

Down on your knees you look better
Down on your knees you’ll find your way
Down on your knees you begged forgiveness
For all your sins
Flesh and mind

Push shove scratch and love
Naked struggling on the floor
Makes us sick had enough
My love for evermore

Down down better stay down
Keep your head down when in town
Wish you luck 
The only way is down

Down on your knees you look better
Down on your knees you’ll find your way
Down on your knees you begged forgiveness
For all your sins
Flesh and mind

Heartbreak Boogie

I’m coming down
Gonna ring your bell 
Just checked out from Heartbreak Hotel 
My baby left me standing on the tracks 
So I got that train and never looked back

Heartbreak boogie from town to town 
I do the heartbreak boogie burn em on down 
Heartbreak boogie for all to see 
It’s the heartbreak boogie for me

The boys all turn when I cross the room 
Turn on the sound make the walls go boom 
It’s a boogie beat for a heart that’s broke 
I just leave em all laying in the ash and smoke
 
Heartbreak boogie from town to town 
I do the heartbreak boogie burn em on down 
Heartbreak boogie so look at me 
It’s the heartbreak boogie for me

So if you’re looking for a heart to break
Better think twice it’s a big mistake 
Because my boogie beat will keep you begging for more 
On the Broken Hearts All Night Dancefloor 

Heartbreak boogie from town to town 
I do the heartbreak boogie burn em on down 
Heartbreak boogie so look at me 
It’s the heartbreak boogie for me

I Live In My Head

I live in my head
Life is so good
I live in my head
In a fine neighbourhood

I live off my dreams
Life is so good
We’re happy together
Just me and you

I live in my head
It’s a penthouse suite
On designer sofas
Drinking whisky neat

I live in my dreams
Just can’t compete
I got it all sorted out
My life is complete

I live off my dreams
We’re happy together
Eating breakfast in bed
You and me forever

I live in my head
I live in my head
I live in my head
Outside I’m dead

Jet Fuel Rock and Roll

What is the reason
I hear you say
What keeps you out
What keeps you away

Why do you do it
Does it keep you alive
What is the substance
What is the drive of
The highs and the lows
The rise and fall
And a drop of jet fuel called rock and roll

Get in the van
And hit the road
500 miles
Through sleet and snow

Low on sleep
High on soul
Running on empty
Out I crawl
The highs and the lows
The rise and fall
And a drop of jet fuel called rock and roll

When I’m sad and low
And struck with the blues
Alone in the darkness
Scared and confused

Rise from the dead
Jump in the hearse
For better or worse
Living under the curse of
The highs and the lows
The rise and fall
And a drop of jet fuel called rock and roll

Knocked Down

Knocked down
Distressed
Distraught
Knocked out
Overdue and overwrought
Darkness falls when day begins
I wanna get out but it’ll do me in 
And I’m just lonesome all the time

Despised
Chastised
Paralysed and traumatised
Overlooked and overanalysed
I wanna hit the road and drive real far
Die in black and white like a Hitchcock star
I’m just so lonesome all the time

Get up
Look sharp
Look around
Be a man
State your claim and stand your ground
I got it made I got it down
I’m gonna show them all light up this town
But I’m just so lonesome all time

Knocked down
Alone
Shot and beat
Knocked out
A deboned piece of meat
Won’t kneel and pray ‘cos I don’t believe
But please have mercy on a soul in need
And I’m just so lonesome all the time

Let’s Go (Back In Time)

Let’s go to LA
Let’s go to Bombay
Let’s go to Milan and Paris too
London, Rome and Timbuktu
Let’s split the joint get on our way
Let’s go somewhere because I can’t stay

Let’s go down the drain
Let’s go completely insane
Let’s go to the dogs and round the bend
Mad and bad because it’s the end
Let’s split the joint get on our way
Let’s go somewhere because I can’t stay

Let’s go have a beer
Let’s go shed some tears
Let’s go back where it all began
Down in the alley in a garbage can
Let’s split the joint get on our way
Let’s go somewhere because I can’t stay

Let’s go back in time
Let’s go back in time
Let’s go back in time

My Love for Evermore

I’d like to pack this in
And take you to the stars
We’ll eat in fancy restaurants
drive in fancy cars
We’ve tried our luck we made a buck
So lean back have some fun

Oh yes my love
But first just this last one

We stood on these cliffs on a starless night
I held your hand in mine
So stand by me with all your heart
I need you by my side

Oh the river is cold and black
And the bottom is a long way down

Another one going underground 

Why can’t we cut the ropes and let the poor fool go

Don’t you go getting weak on me
Not when I need you so

We stood on these cliffs on a starless night
I held your hand in mine
So stand by me with all your heart
I need you by my side

Don’t lose your step
Now we’re almost there
Go wash your face and comb your hair
So trust me now
Believe in me
Forever more your love you have pledged to me

We stood on these cliffs on a starless night
I held your hand in mine
So stand by me with all your heart
I need you by my side

We’ll stay at home and call this day our own
Listen to a record, watch a candle burn
I’m feeling kinda drowsy
There’s blood on the floor
When I’m gone you still will have my love for evermore

My love
For evermore

Night of the Living Ted

Arrived by train in the south of France
Booked to play a gig at a rock’n’roll dance
French Dolly Parton in a stretch limousine
Came to pick us up at the station in Nimes

So it’s a hey hey watch your step
Hey hey beware how you tread
Hey hey don’t you know
It’s the night, the Night of the Living Ted

Those fine French ladies were a wonderful sight
We brought the house down that night
It was teddy boy flick knife rock’n’roll
Straight outa Wales out on parole

So it’s a hey hey watch your step
Hey hey beware how you tread
Hey hey don’t you know
It’s the night, the Night of the Living Ted

From the Planet of the Drapes they rose from the grave
Beer throwing hell raising out on a rave
They drug down Cavan and left him for dead
On that night, the Night of the Living Ted

So it’s a hey hey watch your step
Hey hey beware how you tread
Hey hey don’t you know
It’s the night, the Night of the Living Ted

1979

Don’t hesitate
Go do it your way or do not
I did mine
And it turned out fine
They’d always tease
Tried their clumsy pick-up lines
In July 1979

Don’t give a damn about the tiny minds that dwell upon your soul
They’ll soon grow old
Don’t give a damn about the lies they’re gonna tell
Keep going on
Please go on
Keep going on

‘Blondie’ they called me
Some silly hint to something lewd
I never knew
But I understood
They’d call me names
To upgrade their tedious lives
Back in July 1979

Don’t give a damn about the tiny minds that dwell upon your soul
They’ll soon grow old
Don’t give a damn about the lies they’re gonna tell
Keep going on
Please go on
Keep going on

So hear me now my darling girl
You’ve got the fire and the mind
Your mother had in 1979
Don’t give a damn about the tiny minds that dwell upon your soul
They’ll soon grow old
Don’t give a damn about the lies they’re gonna tell
Keep going on
Please go on
Please go on
Please go on

Northern Crown

Where have you been, my one true love
Since you left me here under the stars above
Each night I wait when the sun goes down
For you to follow the Northern Crown

I had a lily in my hair, it was crimson red
You picked it yourself from our flower bed
The day you told me you were leaving town
And riding away from the Northern Crown

You vowed to return
On a night in July
When my heart starts to yearn
I look to the sky

Northern Crown
Under the Northern Crown
I’m going down
Under the Northern Crown

You wore a lily in your hair
The one that I gave to you
But you turned and walked away
I swore to you my love for evermore
But you laughed and turned and slammed the door

Northern Crown
Under the Northern Crown
I’m Going Down
Under the Northern Crown

I know before you left
You did someone wrong
And when you came back you would take me along
Now I stumble along with a loaded gun
Down to the river and the setting sun

I’ll wait by the banks
I won’t make a sound
You’ll find me there under the Northern Crown

Northern Crown
Under the Northern Crown
I’m Going Down
Under the Northern Crown

Nothing Takes the Place of You

I take your pictures off my wall
And I replace them both large and small
And each new day finds me so blue
Because nothing
Takes the place of you

I read your letters one by one
And I still love you
When it’s all said and done
But oh my darling I’m still blue
Because nothing
Oh nothing takes the place of you

While I write this letter
It’s raining on my window pane
That’s when I feel the need of you
Without you nothing seems the same

So I’ll wait until we meet
At the dark end of the street
But now my darling I’m still blue
Because nothing
Oh nothing takes the place of you

Obsession

Where am I now
Where have I been
What is this place
What have I seen
Where have I gotta go
What need I do
Don’t try to understand me
And please now leave

Our love has turned to blind obsession
And now there’s nothing else to do
For you to find a new confession
Because I want to be alone

Try to understand me
I’m just a sick sick man
Grab your things
There’s the door
Don’t wanna be don’t wanna be your woman no more

Our love has turned to blind obsession
And now there’s nothing else to do
For you to find a new confession
Because I want to be alone

Queen of Hearts

You still come back to me
Enjoy my company
My love, the spirit and affection
You suspect it’s a losing game

You love me going wild
With all my lust inside
You adore
Your sincerity, alacrity loud and proud
 

You’ve got the Queen of Hearts and you know
It’s a losing game on its own
I got the Queen of Hearts and I know
You’ll never belong to me alone
 

Your voice is like a soothing drug
But still there’s blood in your tears
You’re my dynamite opium angel
I blow your mind and soothe your soul
 
You’ve got the Queen of Hearts and you know
It’s a losing game on its own
I got the Queen of Hearts and I know
You’ll never belong to me alone

Reno

Lying in your arms 
Swaying gently to the sound of your love and our dancing 
Going round and round
Toe to toe
We danced in Reno in the old casino
Bound for happiness on a golden run of delight

Lost in the glow of your shine
Spinning around 
Feet off the ground
High and low within your glow
Spinning around
Feet off the ground

Where are you now
You disappeared without a word 
The lights of Reno are still shining bright
With you forever in my heart tonight
Until the end 
I’m forever going round
On the dancefloor of my memory
Where I’m still, forever will be

Lost in the glow of your shine
Spinning around 
Feet off the ground
High and low within your glow
Spinning around
Feet off the ground

We danced in Reno

Sometimes Late At Night

She used to say her marriage wasn’t happy
He used to claim he didn’t like to argue
We joined the show
Extras in supporting roles
Covered up our ears for many years all through the years

Sometimes late at night
I still hear them in my sleep 
How they curse and fight
I still hear them in my sleep

She used to cry when he’d up and leave the house
He’d then return drunk and loud and out of mind
She’d come to us
We’d give her our biggest hugs
That never helped
It never helped
It never helped

Sometimes late at night
I still hear them in my sleep 
Hear them curse and fight
I still hear them in my sleep

He finally left and never even said goodbye
She always said she’d never love another man

Sometimes late at night
I still hear them in my sleep 
Hear them curse and fight
I still hear them in my sleep

Stumble Through the Darkness

It was blind love of the hurting kind 
She had her heel on my throat
I’m going out of my mind
She looked at me in her cold loving way
And she said
Hey hey hey hey

I gave her my love 
I gave her my all
She sucked my blood till I could barely crawl
Clinging on 
I could barely see
Made it out 
And I stumble through the darkness

Be mine
Be mine
Be mine
Be mine till the end of time

Still I went back
Back for more
More of me dragging on the floor
Searching my soul for that spark of life
But until then
I’ll just stumble through the darkness

Be mine
Be mine
Be mine
Be mine till the end of time

Can I take you home
Show you a good time
Have some fun 
Make you mine
Get on up 
Get on down
And when we’re done I’ll stumble through the darkness

Be mine
Be mine
Be mine
Be mine till the end of time

Sudden Ring

First rays of light opened up a dark veiled sky 
I crept along my way all this long long while
Life
Warmth
Grace
As we embraced
We rose above as we kissed insane

A sudden ring
My telephone 
A foreign voice
Quick to the point
He tells me
Although you loved me
A sudden stroke
You had to go

I’m still alive all this long long while
If you could see me now you’d laugh out loud
Or maybe cry
Or even pray 
Because you could see underneath
You could read the hidden hints 
You always could and would read me

A sudden ring
My telephone 
A foreign voice
Quick to the point
He tells me
Although you loved me
A sudden stroke
You had to go

A dark veiled sky
All this long long while

Summerlove

There seems to be love in your eyes 
As you walk behind your dog
I catch you looking back at me
Don’t care that everyone can see

Make me love 
Make me shine and smile 
All you deserve and desire 
I’ll give you back in time
Take my light
Take my darkness too
Take my hand
Take my heart
Make my love all for you

And while you’re drowning in my eyes
I cannot help but to surmise
There’s dirt and danger down the line
Still worth the while and worth the time

Make me love 
Make me shine and smile 
All you deserve and desire 
I’ll give you back in time
Take my light
Take my darkness too
Take my hand
Take my heart
Make my love all for you

Teddy Boy Flick Knife Rock and Roll

Give me a roadside cafe and a hot machine
A whole tank full of gasoline
Plenty of money and the weekend’s free
Feeling wild as I can be
I gotta give me some bop and stroll
Teddy boy flick knife rock and roll

Give me a seaside town and a big funfair
I’m gonna treat my baby there
Then in the evening when the sun goes down
I’m gonna show my gal around
I gotta give me some bop and stroll
Teddy boy flick knife rock and roll

Give me some neon lights and a choice of ales
Smoky joints and city jails
Me and my gal havin lotsa fun
Burn the toast till the toast is done
I gotta get me some bop and stroll
Teddy boy flick knife rock and roll

Give me a roadside cafe and a hot machine
A whole tank full of gasoline
Plenty of money and the weekend’s free
Feeling wild as I can be
I gotta give me some bop and stroll
Teddy boy flick knife rock and roll

Trouble and Strife

It’s been too long things went wrong in this model life of ours
And you don’t have no taste to tell what’s sour
You got a brand new Mac
Accounts on track
Your Prius oh so green
While I feel lost and I feel cold and mean

So it’s go go get out of my life
I’ll be no more trouble and strife
I’m leaving
I’m leaving you for good

Sure I was young, cheap and chav
And I did things I shouldn’t have
Till Mr. Right came walking down the aisle
You took me out
You took me in
Made me safe and void within 
So where’s my love and laughter and my sin

So it’s go go get out of my life
I’ll be no more trouble and strife
I’m leaving
I’m leaving you for good

All is safe and all is good
But lately I’ve had dreams of blood
You had me where you want me
Or so you thought
The road ahead is paved with gold
Behind me all is dead and cold
My home is burning and I’m forever free

With Monsters and Gods

I want to be gentle snow
Falling on your soft white skin
I want to be a tender breeze
Drifting through you
Mild and sweet

So here I am
Thunder and storm
High on the ridge
With monsters and gods
So here I am
A ghost in your dream
While the moon rises 
I’m your heroine

A tender breeze
Mild and sweet
I’m going away
Are you thinking of me?
I’ll be your feather stroking your neck
I’ll be your ghost in the fields of your sleep

So here I am
Thunder and storm
High on the ridge
With monsters and gods
So here I am
A ghost in your dream
While the moon rises 
I’m your heroine

The thunder rolls
Through the dark of the night
I’m the ghost in your dream
Your heroine queen

So here I am
Thunder and storm
High on the ridge
With monsters and gods
So here I am
A ghost in your dream
While the moon rises 
I’m your heroine 
Your heroine queen

You Miss Something You Never Had

Well everybody’s grinning and greased and gassed
And you miss something that you never had

If you want to get your teeth knocked out 
If you want to blacken your eye
Go to Bug Hill on a Saturday night
And you’ll know the reason why
Because everybody’s grinning and greased and gassed
And you miss something baby you never had

Women on my doorstep 
Women on my phone
Knocking down my door saying please take me home
Feels like a thrill when you pop that pill
And you’re rockin with Jeanie and rollin with Jill
Everybody’s grinning and greased and gassed
And you miss something baby you never had

We’ve got drinks on the table
Vodka and gin
Some mean homegrown and some aspirin
We got vinyl on the stereo spinning rocksteady
Some punk rockabilly so you better get ready
Everybody’s grinning and greased and gassed
And you miss something baby you never had

You got an itch don’t know what it is
Come running to me saying scratch it please
Everybody’s grinning and greased and gassed
And you miss something baby you never had
