American Music
(ian hunter)
I have a dream-its only one dream
But I know dreams can come true
And I have a wish-its only one wish
But I know wishes can too
I wanna be-faraway from here
With those honky tonk heroes-burnin my ears-oh
Love american music-i play it all night long
Just me n records-n a vivid imagination
I love to dance in the mirror-i practice every single word
And it seems to me american music-is all Ive ever heard
Oh oh oh-oh oh oh its lonely on the underground
I sit and watch my world go round n round n round n round n round
I sit and watch the world go round
I hear the sons of memphis-i hear the brothers or harlem
I hear the nashville cats n the rag time mamas outa new orleans
I hear the windy city-i hear a gospel singers hymn-and it seems to me
American music is all theres ever been
Cmon baby oh oh -oh oh-oo-oo
I love the names of the cities-i hear the echo echoing

All Of The Good Ones Are Taken
(ian hunter)
Girl-things aint been goin too good for me
Girl-Im living in the middle of a mystery
Youre the only one that can turn me on
n now that youre gone I said
Girl-Im livin in the middle of your memory
Girl-youre still the figure in my favorite fantasy
I know you know
Thats the way it goes
And still my love grows-i said
All o the good, all o the good ones are taken
All o the good, all o the good ones are taken
Im hangin around with my head in the air
Watchin the lovers go by
I had a lover-but she never cared
All you could say was goodbye
Maybe I was mistaken
Maybe I got it wrong
But all of the good ones are taken from now on
n girl-Im livin in the middle of a broken dream

Speechless
(ian hunter)
Every time I watch you
Gotta switch you off, you surely cant be serious
Every time I see you
I just cant believe you go below ridiculous
All those days I spent
Starin at your wilderness
All those ways you got to me
Through me, you, you leave me speechless
You, you make me scared of you
You make me scared of losing concentration
You make me afraid of you
Make me afraid of losing conversation
All my friends say that youre forbidden - fruitless
I hide away with you - Im guilty - Im guilty
You found my only weakness
You, you leave me speechless
Entertainment came and went
Why cant you be more curious, adventurous, mysterious, sensuous
Your remote control

Death n Glory Boys
(ian hunter)
Get your son - young n dumb
Give him a gun - make him run
Hot stuff - on a saturday night
Wait a minute - this aint right
Its that same old story
Talkin bout the death n glory boys
When your head is on the scaffold
n your ass is on the line
You gotta give it that old religion
One mo time
Get the death n glory boys
Midnight - no light
Cool sand - like mud in my hands
Got this feelin - in my hair
Whats that movin - I aint a scared
Its that same old story
Freak out with the death n glory boys
When its down to stealing apples
n you been doin time

Cool
(ian hunter)
You might be a celebrity-everybody sits up and begs
You might be the sexiest thing since God invented legs
You might be a dictator, a dealer or a saint
Cool is here to tell you when youre cool and when you aint
If you lose your cool-if you lose your cool-if your cool dont work
If your cools gone fishin you aint nothing but a cool jerk
Now you might be a nazi-lookin for a friend
You might be a beginning- looking for an end
Some folks go for the ice and snow-some like it florida hot
Cool is here to tell you what is cool and what is not
You can write a book about the money you took
You and pose on the cover nude
You can flip on an ego trip-timell do the cover on you
But dont you ever cross me dude
cos that aint cool, thats an attitude
You might be a macho man
Do 50 million sit-ups a day
You might be an expert, with something important to say
You might be an evangelist-livin on the wages of sin

I Aint No Angel
(corky laing/ian hunter)
I told my baby girl
That I live by all the rules
She laughed and said to me
Dont you take me for a fool
Then she ran me down
People saw me over town
Then word got back to her
That I was fooling round
I, I aint no angel
I, I aint no angel
So good, goodbye love
Good, goodbye love
Now Im living on my own
Since my baby set me free
Seems I hurt her pride
And caused her misery
She never understands
To keep me satisfied
I got to live this life

Ships
(ian hunter)
We walked to the sea, just my father and me
And the dogs played around on the sand.
Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere
Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand?
I said loves easier when its far away
We sat and watched the distant lights.
Were two ships that pass in the night
And we smile when we say its alright.
Were still here, its just that were out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night.
Theres a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky.
Theres another that rides far behind.
And it seems you and I are like strangers a wide
Ways apart as we drift on through time.
He said its harder now youre far away
We only read you when you write.
Were two ships that pass in the night
We both smile when we say its alright.
Were still here, oh its just that were out of sight

Girl-things ain't been goin' too good for me

Golden Opportunity
(ian hunter)
The kids are ok
Theyre telling you now
But youre letting them down
Cause you just dont know how
And its a golden opportunity
Im spinning in space
Im laughing away
Your so pathetic
I can just hear them say
Its like a golden opportunity
You better hear it
See hear it
Its a golden opportunity
You better hear it
Get near it
Its a golden opportunity
We reckon theyre rats
Now see how they run
My house is so common

Sons N Lovers
(ian hunter)
I was your baby-you were my girl
When I asked you to marry me- the tears fell
Sons n lovers, sons n lovers, waving
My childhood goodbye-it seems so sad
Well how long have you been my best friend
This wont be the end of
Sons n lovers-sons n lovers--she wont wanna talk anymore about it
You were my lady- I was your number one
When I said I was leaving- tears run
Sons n lovers-sons n lovers, breakin
Tryin not to hurt each others hearts
Well how long can we exist- I know
We cant go on like this
Sons n lovers-sons and lovers--i dont wanna lie anymore
Was that you I saw--walkin out along the shore
Was that you I saw-talkin to him
Was that you I saw-puttin his hands in yours
Thats alright ma- you can still love him
Thats alright ma- you can still love
