French Shoes

He was a good lookin guy
Stood about six foot three
Long brown hair
As nice as he could be
Everybody liked him
But he didnt have a clue
He looked silly as hell
In those funny french shoes
You know the type
Without any heels
Leather soles
Kind of a slip on deal
He was cavalier
Whether hed win or lose
But he looked silly as hell
In those funny french shoes
I know its not right
To judge a man by his clothes
By the way that he looks
Or the people he may know

Hot Night In A Cold Town

Written by Geoffrey Cushing-Murray and Richard Littlefield
Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly
Washed in amber street lights
A Mexican wind blows in
Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair and her halo
Motors runnin' muffling the sound
Of street talk, a big deal's goin' down
Chorus:
It's another hot night
In a cold town
Got yourself a hot night
In a cold town
Johnny's got spare change in his pocket
And a ring and a watch to hock for a sweet ride
A one way ticket hidden in his shoe
These last few hours
He says he'll spend with you
He's leavin' home without a trace
No forwarding address he'll never have to face another...
Chorus

Last Chance

A cold day in december
And im still here alone
I look trough my window and I surrender
Should be gone
But I have no place to go
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go
Last chance to get up and go
If there were someone
Id hold her
If there was love
Id let it take me away
But I just stay here alone
Chorus:
Last chance to get up
Last chance to go

Aint Even Done With The Night

Aint even done with the night
Well our hearts beat like thunder
I dont know why they dont explode
You got your hands in my back pockets
And sam cookes singin on the radio
You say that Im the boy who can make it all come true
Well Im tellinya that I dont know if I know what to do
Chorus:
You say thats all right, hold tight
Well I dont even know if Im doin this right
Well all right, hold tight
We can stay out all day or we can run around all night
Well all night, all night
Well its time to go home
And I aint even done with the night
Well I dont know no good come-ons
And I dont know no cool lines
I feel the heat of your frustration
I know its burnin you up deep down inside
You say that Im the boy who can make it all come true

To Washington

Eight years of peace and prosperity
Scandal in the White House
An election is what we need
From coast-to-coast to Washington
So America voted on a president
No one kept count
On how the election went
From Florida to Washington
Goddamn, said one side
And the other said the same
Both looked pretty guilty
But no one took the blame
From coast-to-coast to Washington
So a new man in the White House
With a familiar name
Said he had some fresh ideas
But it's worse now since he came
From Texas to Washington
And he wants to fight with many
And he says it's not for oil

In My Time Of Dying

(Traditional)
Well in my time of dyin'
Don't want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do
Is take my body home
Well well well so I can die easy
Well well well
Well well well so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up my dyin' bed
Well meet me Jesus meet me
meet me in the middle of the air
If these wings should fail me, Lord,
Won't you meet me with another pair
Well well well so I can die easy
Well well well
Well well well so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make up

Make Me Feel

This ain't no make believe
I ain't foolin around this time
You can believe what you want to believe
It's a sin the way we've wasted our time
Make me feel like I wanna feel
Baby tear this pain from my heart
Make me feel like I wanna feel
Make me feel like I did in the start
Maybe it's a change of plan
Now that your dreams have left me behind
Or is it another man
Who didn't care that you were mine
Baby this could be our last chance
Now you're actin like it's no big deal
Make me feel like I wanna feel
Make me feel like I did in the start
I can hear, I can hear, I can hear
The radio playin' your favorite song
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I know that something had to go wrong

Jackie O

So you went to a party at Jacqualine Onassis
If you're so amart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what you're doin' to me
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Underneath your breath you know I heard you cussin'
You were talkin' to my second cousin
Were you talkin' about me
Were you talkin' about me
You better put on your glasses so you can see
So you can see what tomorrow might bring
Can your daddy get us backstage passes
You know that we love to dance
Can your daddy give us backstage passes
With all his political power
With all his political power
It seems to me like you could dance better than you do
So you went to a party at Jacqualine Onassis
If you're so smart why don't you wear glasses
So you can see what the future might bring

Twentieth Century Fox

Written by The Doors
Well, she's fashionably lean
Hey and she's fashionably late
She'll never gonna wreck a scene
She'll never break a date
But now she's no drag
Just watch the way that she walks
She's a twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox
She's got world, she's got the world
All locked up inside a plastic box
She's a twentieth century fox, oh yeah
She's the queen of cool
And she's the lady who waits
Sent to manless school
She never gonna hesitate
Well know she don't waste her time
On all this elementary talk
She's a twentieth century fox
She's a twentieth century fox

Big Daddy Of Them All

You used to raise your voice, so it could be heard
You used to shout out your orders, and you always found words
"Do as I say, and not as I do"
They're takin' your picture off the wall
How does it feel to be the big daddy of them all?
You used to chase your women right into your home
You used to tell them you loved them over the telephone
And they all see through you, and your sinking like a stone
No one knockin' at your door, no one calls
How does it feel to be the big daddy of them all?
Just sad and disgusted is what you've grown up to be
Bet you had no idea this is what your dream would turn out to be
But When you live for yourself, it's hard on everyone
But you did it your way man, you did it all
How does it feel to be the big daddy of them all?
But you did it your way man, you did it all
How does it feel to be the big daddy of them all?
