"NO EXPLANATION NEEDED, HOW ROCK N'ROLL CAN
ONE MAN BE?"

Baby, baby, baby give me satisfaction
'Cause baby, baby, baby I've got the love action

And all the way back
Can you take it baby

I'm a wild man.
You need a medicine man come to take you away
Who's gonna give you good loving every single damn day
You need a space pirate baby like i'm robin hood
You need a leather back lover like you know i should
Yeah baby I'm a wild man
One Summer
"ODE TO A CHERRY RED SODA OR A TEENAGE
TEARJERKER IN C MINOR"
She came on a silent summers day
Looking for somewhere that she could stay
She asked me if I knew of a place
Somewhere that she could hide her face
She Said: "Tell me that you know of one
I've got to know cos I'm on the run
Everybody wants my blood back home
They say I took what I do not own"
She came to me on a silent summers day
With the tears of a 1000 wars
She could take my heart away...
I looked at her and saw that her plight was real
I knew that she could surely never steal
Inside of her eyes the tears of a 1000 wars
But from her face shone love that never was
I said: "Girl I don't think I can help you
'Cause if I take you home I'd surely be untrue
You see my heat is under lock and key
With you around I'd have to set it free"
I'll Be There
"I LIKE TO DO THINGS MY WAY, BUT , IF YOU REALLY
NEED ME, I'LL BE THERE"
Take a closer look at me
Do you like what you see
Or is there just pressure
When there should be pleasure
Well don't you know that little boys
Will always make the biggest noise
And you know I still care
And you know i'll be there
Take a look inside my mind
You will see I'm not unkind
I'll be there
Is it really hard to see
What will always be
Don't you even rate me
Or do you really hate me
If you did it all my way
That would really make my day
And you know I still care
And you know I'll be there
Take a look inside my mind
You will see I'm not unkind
I'll be there
ooh baby I love you
ooh baby I miss you
ooh baby I need you
ooh baby I've got to have you
Yes, I'll be there.
Rub Me Out
"A SING OF SELF DESTRUCTION, A FAST LIFE AND
A PREDICTABLE, MESSY DEATH"
Problems mounting up on every side
I've got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I've got my hopes pinned on about 1000 dreams
And I don't even know what's wrong with me
Girl you want to rub me out
I keep walking into trouble like a two year old
And I don't even listen to a word I'm told
'Cause I've a short fuse leading to a paraffin brain
And I'm flying off the rails like a runaway train
Girl you want to rub me out
Rub me out boys
Welcome to dead town
"WHEN YOU WAKE UP FEELING LIKE LIFE IS PASSING
YOU BY, YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO DO, NOWHERE TO GO, YOU
LOOK OUT YUR WINDOW AND YOUR TOWN LOOKS LIKE THIS..."
It's eight o'clock in my home town
It's Friday night and theres no-one around
So I take a walk across this land
And hold my head into my hands
I take a walk but you're not there
I'd drop the bomb but you wouldn't care
Welcome to deadtown
Can't dance, can't sing, can't do anything
Welcome to dead town
A burning bush with a yearning smell
This town is dead, it's a living hell
I want to shout but I can't make a sound
Without the whole town coming down
Welcome to dead town
There's no-one around
I can't dance, I can't sing, I can't do anything
can't dance, can't sing, can't do anything
Welcome to deadtown
You Keep Me Praying
"MESSES YOU SWEAR YO WONT GET IN AGAIN,
BUT YOU ALWAYS DO"
Lately, I've been sitting on my own
Maybe, I should never be alone
A million magic crystals
Floating round in a glass for me to drink
Colours red and blue float through my mind
As my head begins to sink
Lately, I've been thinking bout myself
Maybe, I'll be left up on the shelf
Come and take me by the hand
Go through to a land that I must know
See the blood stained fields in your blue eyes
And I don't want to go
So I stop and think about you all the time
Take me for granted
Treat me like a fool
Come on baby throw off my chains
And girl come and set me free
You keep me praying all the time
Lately, I've had you upon my mind
Maybe, I should not have been so kind
All the things you said to me
On how do you want me to cope
Talking to me all the time
If you don't stop I can't hope
So I don't stop to think about you anymore
All the things that you did girl
You did them all to me
I'm on my knees and I cry alot
So girl come and set me free
You keep me praying all the time
Walk
"I FOLLOWED HER TO THE STATION WITH A SUITCASE
IN MY HAND..."
My life ain't right I'm torn inside
I've got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No hiding from the fire
No going against the tide
So lets cruise out of town
See what's going on
Nobody can hold us down
Maybe for a while but not for long
So won't you tale me, take me with you
I've gotta walk
Right on outta here
I can't trust the people that say
Money's forever and life don't pay
life's loads not my sweet dream
Hot, dusty roads and sunsets serene
Fly Away
"EDWARD LEAR TOLS ME TO DO IT!"
Sitting down in a purple haze
While a voice floats through your mind
Telling stories of long ago
In a voice that's old and kind
And in a while you're feeling light
And you're floating through the door
And the lights of many colours
Make your head spin more and more
You're ina world, a special world
You're floating in and out of buildings
In a dream, a perfect dream
With coloured skies and coloured feelings
And you're floating through the air
Look around without a care
And you don't want to come down
Walk on normal solid ground
So you fly away
Sitting down in a purple haze
Floating six feet in the air
Watching people with flowered wings
Stroking warm hands through your hair
And in an altered state of mind
The voice inside your head
Let the floating people
Put their hands inside your head
FreedomTrip
"A MOTORBIKE, THE OPEN ROAD, KICK START
MY HEART AND GET ON THE FREEDOM TRIP"
Take a trip[ with me up to the clouds
We can float around without a care
A good heart beats in my body
I feel no threat to anyone
Watching the wind blow through my hair
Catching the freedom trip again
Laying here upon my bead
My record player says 'let it bleed'
I'm floating in the air now
I'm feeling light and I am free
Sun Is In The Sky
"IF BEING HAPPY AND FEELING GOOD ARE CRIMES,
THEN I'M AS GUILTY AS HELL"
Look though the window
I see the sun in the sky
Sit in the fields, watch all the clouds pass me by
See the smile upon my face
The sun is in the sky
Look at the children
See all the smiles on their face
Talking their whole day, down to a much slower pace
See the smile upon my face
The sun is in the sky
Watch all the children see them smiling
Now I think I know the reason why
Nobody's shouting, nobody's fighting
And all because the sun is in the sky
See the smile upon my face
The sun is in the sky
Breathless
"ORIGINALLY A POEM, NOW SET TO MUSIC, ABOUT
A FADED STAR TRYING TO EASE HIS CONSCIENCE
AND FINALLY, GET SOME SLEEP"
The wind and rain drove hard
And I could not see a thing
I looked outside my window
And saw a hundred staring faces
A mixture of drinks and drugs
Had numbed my mind by nightfall
Then something in me snapped
And I just drifted off to sleep
And I get breathless in the night
And I just want to go to sleep
Rest my weary head
And gently drift away
You can stare at the riches
You can stare at the world
But a million staring back at you
Will knock you off the wall
I have been a film star
I have been a rock star
But now I'm nothing at all
And I just want to go to sleep.
(All nite, late bar) Tequilla Drinkin' Blues
"AFTER ALL THAT I DESERVE A GOOD DRINK"
Propping up the bar in a one horse town
I've gotta break for the border to see what goes down
I've been working all day in a big white town
Trying to find a place where the girls are around
Work all day sleep all night
No time to relax you know it just aint right
I'm a people guy or can't you see
Sometimes I take my life too seriously
But no. don't get me wrong
I've been working so hard
I deserve to drink the whole night long
Weekends come and weekends go
I've got to go out with the boys and go with the flow
Life in the city's way too hard
Working all day just to clock in your card
All night, late bar, Tequilla drinkin' Blues.
