Rags To Riches

Its a sign of the times, standing in line
Quietly waiting to go out of your mind
Theres nothing to say, no reason to stay
To fight for the right that they have taken away
Get what you get, not what you need
Time after time
* rags to riches, all fallen down
Rags to riches, tied up and bound
Theres no going under
When youre kicked to the ground
Rags to riches..rags to riches
Youre down on your knees, caught in the freeze
Crying inside but theres no easy release
Radical views--in yesterday news
Giving the reason with another excuse
Out on your own, cut to the bone
Time after time
Repeat * (2x)

Lift The Lid

Nazareth
Here I am, sitting on my porch
Thinkin my life has got to be beyond reproach
Have I forgot some friends close to me
Real ones that dont use me
And does my woman love me now
Like she loved me then
Here I am,my defenses are down
Will she remember me when Im not around
Will she still dream by me
Or will she find a new life
Will I ever get used, to being alone at night
Ill never know, but would it do me any good if I did
Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid
Lift the lid
Ill never know, but would it do me any good if I did
Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid
Lift the lid

I Dont Want To Go On Without You

Bert berns/jerry wexler
I dont want to
Go on without you
Its so bad to be alone
Oh baby come home
I need you
My room is so blue
I keep seein your face
Oh, every place
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I cant stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darlin hear my plea
Cmon back to me
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories

Nightingale

(mccafferty, sweet, charlton, agnew)

Sings a sad song for lonely women
Sings about women to lonely men
Sings a peace song to a soldier
Sings about loneliness to a friend
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart
Sings a melody to haunt you
And some words to make you cry
If youre sad shell make you happy
When youre down shell take you high
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart
Shes a song, song singer

Little Part Of You

I dont want to take you prisoner
Or do it against your will
I wouldnt ever take you over
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I would never leave you stranded
Alone on some point of view
Couldnt ever hold you under
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I know that the world
All its diamonds and its pearls
Could never buy you
Could never even try to
Wouldnt ever bring you sadness
Leave you standing in the rain
Never thought you would be easy
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I know that the world

Gonna go down fightin
Gonna go down fightin
cause I know that Im right and
Im gonna go down fightin for your love
Well I know what your thinkin
You got me up against the wall
But the higher that your flyin
The further down you gotta fall
Now dont you be fooled by my shakin knees
cause I can fight dirty and when Im scared
I get mean
Chorus
Well I know youre thinkin
That the odds is on your side
But the first thing you gotta learn is
That it just dont come down to size
I can see the seeds of doubt

Cry Wolf

Ime out, no good now
Screamin too loud
And I cant hear a word you say
Look out, way too late
Suns going down
And Im comin around your way
You keep calling me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright

When you cry, you cry, cry wolf
Got me running, cry,cry--cry, cry wolf
Dont touch, dont look now

And its keepin me hang around
But when the call comes through
Im ready for you and you say it aint true
But youre keepin your defenses down
You keep callin me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin

Juilet

See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty love's burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love that's a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love that's a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you.

Love Leads To Madness (Alternate Extended Version)

Do I feel alright?
I'll go anywhere you say you wanna take me
Save me, run away-ay-ay, steal away-ay-ay
'Cause I feel alright
I'll do anything you say you wanna make me
Take me far away-ay-ay, run away-ay-ay
We've been up all night
Tryin' to avoid a situation
Hold me, let me feel your way
'Cause I wanna stay
Let them all start talkin'
We won't give ourselves away
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Do you feel alright?
And can you see me when you're lookin' in your mirror
Crazy, try to find a way, so your heart don't pay
Run away-ay-ay
Don't you give yourself away

Blackhearted Woman

Black hearted woman
Cant you see your poor man is down
I cant take this baby
All the lonely nights Ive been crying
Tired of all your separate ways
I cant take your evil lyin
Black hearted woman
Trouble and pain is all you crave
Black hearted woman
Trouble and pain is all you crave
Now that Im gone my troubles stopped
But my truth got in my way
Yesterday I was your man
But now you dont even know my name
Yesterday I was your man
But now I dont even know your name
Got to find a new way girl
Before I get back in your game
One of these days baby
Im gonna catch ya with your backdoor man
