Just Another Nervous Wreck
Im feeling so alone now
They cut the telephone uh huh
Yeah my life is just a mess
I threw it all away now
I could have made a fortune
I lost the craving for success
And as the acrobats they tumble
So the corn begins to crumble
While in the mirror
She admires a brand new dress
Live on the second floor now
Theyre trying to bust the door down
Soon Ill have a new address
So much for liberation
Theyll have a celebration
Yeah Ive been under too much stress
And as the cloud begin to rumble
So the juggler makes his fumble
And the sun upon my wall is getting less
Dont, give a damn

Goldrush
Bless my heart and soul
I've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
Let's get into town
I am living down by the creek
Getting mired in the mud
No liquor for a week
I feel the cold in my blood
Here's a very busy lady
On her knees in the sludge
Well I do believe she's crazy
You know she's working like a drudge
Bless my heart and soul
She's discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

Gone Hollywood
Its just heartbreaking
I should have known that it would let me down
Its just a mind aching
I used to dream about this town
It was a sight to see
The place to be,
Where the living is easy
And the kicks can always be found
Its such a shame about it
I used to think that it would feel so good
But whos to blame about it
So many creeps in hollywood
Im in this dumb motel
Nea the taco bell
Without a hope in hell
I cant believe that Im still around
Aint nothin new in my life today
Aint nothing true its all gone away
Ive had too much cryin, seen too much grief
Im sick of tryin its beyond belief

Aint Nobody But Me
Let me tell you a story thatll make a change,
Let me tell you when Im way out of range;
Its about a man whos crueler than me,
So promise not to cause a scene,
Heaven help the ones you love,
Theres no big need for stars above
Well, you can run, you, know hell find you,
It dont matter now, just look behind you,
You had your warn, and you knew the score,
You got it wrong, and that means war;
So, whyd you have to treat me rough,
Your explanations not enough.
-aint nobody but me,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you;
Aint no fish in the sea,
Gonna sigh for you, gonna try for you,
Gonna lie for you, gonna die for you,
Wooh-
You see, I got a mental disposition,
Sometimes, Im mean, sometimes Im vicious;

Lady
Lady, you come across the water,
Well dont you think you oughta?
Be waiting a while,
Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,
Is nothing gonna hold you, from flying away, a-ha
Flying away a-ha, flying away.
cause theres nowhere to go,
Though the road is out stretching before you,
And the farther you go,
I said,
-aint nothing gonna get you to heaven-
I said,
-aint nothing gonna get you to heaven-
And you know just who you are
And you know that theres something between us,
And you like what you feel, but
-i can tell that youre not gonna turn back-
-well I can tell that youre not gonna turn back-
And dont you know Im a little bit sad, oh-no
Oh-la-la-la-la *4 arrgh *3

Cest What
Yes Ive been waiting
Waiting patiently and waiting
Well if you ever feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
And they tell you not to worry
Just leave your problems on the shelf
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Thats what they tell you
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Day and night
Youre on the inside looking outside
Wishing you were somewhere else
But you sit back with reservations
As you count up all your unearned wealth
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
Ah theyre sayin it again
Cest what? cest what, oh well cest what?
You know it and I know it too
Well let me tell you a story
Like the ones I used to know

Poor Boy
Can you believe me when I say, theres nothing I like better,
Than just to sit here and talk with you.
Although Ill rant and Ill rave about one thing and another
The beauty of it is so pure to me, though,
Im a poor boy,
I can still be happy,
As long as I can feel free.
So many people I know, get old way too early
(well are you feelin kind of weary)
Just to impress you with the money theyve made
(you better, you better change your theory)
One drop of rain, they complain, its the same about the ways theyre earning.
Well, that is not the way Im gonna be,
Dont mind the rain, dont mind snow, dont mind nothin
If I know,
You will be right here with me
-well let her stay, dont mind a point of view,
How can we all afford to live like you;
This life is simply not enough,
We have no grievances, we must be tough-

A Sting In The Tail
Well I don't care about the summer rain
I know it's good for the garden
Don't care what blue skies, they turn to grey
When you come around and try to run me down
The storm clouds darken...mmm...yeah
I don't get down when the leaves go brown
It's just a charm of the season
Well things in nature have their reason
But when you come along and try to do me wrong
Well the first time I'll ignore it
But don't you push me beyond the pale
But then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
And you may think you're going to walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee
The wind blows cold as the year grows old
Yeah that's just the natural way it goes
I feel a chill from my head down to my toes
Each time you call my name and tell me I'm to blame
Well the first time I'll ignore it but don't you push beyond the pale
Then you're going to find there's no more water in the well

Broken Hearted
You make me nervous when you're flying around
The secret service couldn't track you down
You tell me no then you kiss me
You say hello then you ditch me
You try to run when you see me
I never knew what this dream was about
You say let's go then you're lost in the crowd
I don't know where you're going
You won't show then you're showing
I don't know then I'm knowing
You're always busy when I call on the phone
(Stop stop)
I'm broken hearted are you made out of stone
(Stop stop)
Snakes alive why you grievin'
It's six to five and I'm leavin'
I can't stand no more teasin'
I wrote a letter (letter) I couldn't get her (get her)
Some other fella (fella) was going to tell her (tell her)
This kind of weather (weather) you need a sweater (sweater)

Cest Le Bon
I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility
I still remember what they tried to make of me
They used to wonder what they couldnt get through to me,
cauce all that I had as this music
A-coming to me
And all that I had was this rhythm
A-running through me.
I took a tip from the man in the ministry
He said, my son, better work in the factory
Well there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the military
So lucky to have all this music
A-coming to me
Im lucky to have all this rhythm
A-running through me
Im watching the movie go down
Around, about me
Im watching the marry-go-round
Go down about me.
