Teahouse On The Tracks
Out on the fringe
Where the shallows meet the scratchlands
Out where hope and the highway ends
You can park or cruise
Both ways you lose
This is flytown now my friend
You take a walk on bleak street
Tonight could be the night you crash
Then you turn and stop
Start to fingerpop
You think you hear a wailin combo
You climb a flight of twisted stairs
Some cat says buddy
Chorus:
If youve got eyes
To rhythmatize
Bring your flat hat and your ax
cause tonight at ten
Well be workin again
At the teahouse on the tracks
The siegel bros. were slammin out a baion
So slick it should have been a crime
Irene and flocko and little amy khan
Lead off the big front line
The crowd was bouncin in sync with the pulse
You get a case of party feet
(then the room turns bright
And fills up with light)
And then from somewhere deep inside you
Some frozen stuff begins to crack
Better hurry
Chorus:
Take the t-line to bleak and divine
Just above the good time flats
Its your last chance
To learn how to dance
At the teahouse on the tracks
On sunday morning
Youre back at the wheel
Youre feelng calm and crisp and strong
Chorus:
If it feels right
Just drive for the light
Thats the groovessential facts
Someday well all meet at the end of the street
At the teahouse on the tracks

Rev On The Red Line
Two in a row, everybody knows
At the green light you rev it on the red line
Been waitin all week to get my wheels on the street
Get my hands on the wheel, slide down in the seat
Shes wearin new colors and runnin pretty good
I got four hundred horses tucked under the hood
But theres no need to panic, its under control
Were aerodynamic and ready to roll
Rev on the red line
Youre on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Runnin all night on lake avenue
Its a piece of cake
If you know what to do
Youve got to lose a few
til the stakes get high
When the odds are right
You just blow by
And make no mistake, theres women who just wait
For the man and machine with the best time
Rev on the red line
Youre on your own
Feels like a lifetime
But soon youll know
Wasnt long ago I couldve lost my wheels
Had to outrun the law, it was no big deal
I guess they had a grudge, they were hot on my tracks
I had to pay off the judge to get my license back
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
Hear my motor screamin while Im tearin up the street
Rev on the red line
Youre on your own
Rev on the red line
Just let it go
Rev on, rev on
Rev on, rev on
Dont think Ill ever learn to slow down
Rev on, youll still be here and Ill be gone
Rev on, rev on

Going Under
I hear the door slam shut, so I know that youre home
Youve been out all night, Ive been here alone
And Ive been wondering if youre the same person I knew
The bright lights that shine in your eyes, they make me blind
I hear a footstep on the stairs so I know that youre near
Youve returned from pursuing your nocturnal career
And I dont ask where youve been, with who, or if theyre your friend
cause I dont really want to know right now, I dont know when I will again
Chorus
Going under, drifting down, going under
And I know youve still got a ways to go down before
We can rise back up into the light
Were going under, drifting down...
I hear you coughing in the hall so I know youre all right
It will be morning soon, through the gloom I see daylight
But in this room right now I am alone, I am unsure
I dont know what you feel anymore and it scares me so

Nowhere Bound
You save up your money, buy you some shoes
The highways calling and shes right on cue
Just when you thought you had it beat
Youre leaving town on a one-way street
Chorus
Its a hard, hard lesson
But youre gonna have to learn it
Its a long cold swim up against the current
And somewhere down the line
Youre gonna have to turn it around
cause boy right now youre nowhere bound
Her words still echo thru your mind
But fade away as you cross the county line
Running from trouble or from the truth
It doesnt matter either way you lose
Chorus
Well you walk ten miles just to make new tracks
But you turn around and find that its twenty miles back
And its never gonna change it you keep leaving
Your hearts gonna break, but never break even
Where to now, do you know?
One things for certain
Gonna reap just what you sow
And all you planted was heartache and pain
Dont look now but it looks like rain.

Youre the one who took my hand when no one else could understand.
Youre the one who moves me like nobody else can.
Chorus:
Take me down where I wanna be.
Turn around, the man who lives inside of me.
Take me down and love me all night long.
Hold me close and make me strong.
Take me down. take me down tonight.
In your eyes I see the light.
Its your emotions glowin bright.
So keep the fires burnin, and let it warm me through the night.
You can be a part of me, cause youre what love was meant to be.
You and me, baby, well set the flame inside free.
Chorus
You dont have to stay forever
Lets just put our hearts together, share another night in ecstasy.
We know that its feelin better evry time we get together.
Maybe love was meant for you and me. whoa, take me down
Where I wanna be.
Turn around, the man who lives inside of me.
Take me down and love me all night long.
Hold me close and make me strong.
Take me down. take me down tonight.
Take me down tonight. take me down tonight. take me down tonight.

Swing Street
LYRICS BY BARRY MANILOW AND ROY FREELAND
MUSIC BY EDDIE ARKIN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's raining down sorrow and nothing but bad news
You know I've had it up to here living with these blues
But I won't let it get me down, it's not the only game in town
In my mind, I'm goin' to Swing Street
Im a dreamer on a rough road
And I need to hear the music once again
When there's nothing but bad news, I've got a way to beat the blues
I close my eyes, and I go to Swing Street
We can dance there, there's a chance there
Of finding a little romance there
You don't know who you'll meet
When youre down on Swing Street
Lose your blues in a minute
Cop a groove and you're in it
I'm tellin' you once, I'm tellin' you twice
Better take my advice
If youre weepin' and youre wailin'
Ive got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin,
Count to four and grab my hand say I'll meet you by the band
You and I , we're goin' to Swing Street
Give yourself to the rhythm
And every wrong is forgiven
You may even lose the bluest of blues
Get back on your feet
When your best friends turn to strangers
And one more workin' day dont seem worth all the changes
Just reach out and take my hand and I'll meet you by the band
You and I, we're goin' to Swing Street
Yes you and I, were going to go to Swing Street
YEAH!

Out In The Street
Put on your best dress baby
And darlin, fix your hair up right
Cause theres a party, honey
Way down beneath the neon lights
All day youve been working that hard line
Now tonight youre gonna have a good time
I work five days a week girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
And meet my girl down on the block
And monday when the foreman calls time
Ive already got friday on my mind
When that whistle blows
Girl, Im down the street
Im home, Im out of my work clothes
When Im out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When Im out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When Im out in the street
When Im out in the street
When Im out in the street, girl
Well, I never feel alone
When Im out in the street, girl
In the crowd I feel at home
The black and whites they cruise by
And they watch us from the corner of their eye
But there aint no doubt girl, down here
We aint gonna take what theyre handing out
When Im out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When Im out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
Baby, out in the street I dont feel sad or blue
Baby, out in the street Ill be waiting for you
When the whistle blows
Girl, Im down the street
Im home, Im out of my work clothes
When Im out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When Im out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
When Im out in the street
Pretty girls, theyre all passing by
When Im out in the street
From the corner, we give them the eye
Baby, out in the street I just feel all right
Meet me out in the street, little girl, tonight
Meet me out in the street
Meet me out in the street

Up each morning at five oclock,
Seem like the noon-day sun aint never gonna stop.
The work is hard in a railroad yard,
Hey, hey, gotta make it today to punch a time card.
Workin on the railroad.

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Dirt and sweat, runnin down my back,
Workin on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Workin on the railroad.
Im a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Workin on the railroad.
And with God weve been working, all hand in hand.
Workin on the railroad.

Stranded on a Sandbar
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin around
Like the wind that blows
Tide that flows
Have my ups and downs
All a part of some strange plan Im sure
Start a new chapter each day
Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed
cause weve both got our own different ways
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth
Now I used to go crazy for days at a time
Now Im takin my time with my days
Havent found the answers like some that I know
Im just stuck in a fairly nice maze
Climb to the top of the island tonight
Sit beneath the cashew tree
I want to count the stars, lights on the cars
That are shinin up and down on me
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Baby Im stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth

I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Sugar Im stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth

From the very first time I met you, girl, you captured me
Youre my pop-si-cle!
All I know is that you make me feel so fancyfree.
Gonna love you for a lifetime
And I know youre gonna love me too
You make me feel, feel so real
And it feels so good, through and through
Sweeter than candy
Better than cake
And everytime we kiss
It feels oh so great
Girl, cant you see?
Youre the one, youre the one for me!
Chorus
When I call you up on my favorite party line
You sound so sweet, girl. youre blowing my mind
Our love is much better than any other I know
And it keeps on growing, more and more
Girl, cant you see?
Youre the one, youre the one for me!
Chorus
Pop pop pop pop pop popsicle!
Hey, hey, little girl with your pretty dress on
Ive been wanting you to want me for my whole life long
You knock me off my feet, girl, youre a super treat
When I see you in the street you make my heart skip a beat
Youre the one who makes me feel alright
When I look into your eyes, you know youre really out of sight
Im for you and youre for me
We could stay together so easily
Pop pop pop pop pop popsicle!
Girl, cant you see?
Youre the one, youre the one for me!

Alright Tonight
(john hiatt)
Chorus:
Im alright tonight
Im alright
Youre alright tonight
Youre alright
Were alright tonight
Its alright tonight
You came down
A twisted up road
Youve been traveling
For light years
You got here the same time
Those tears found their way
Down your face
I fought with the laws tooth
And nail
And I traveled
By night, dear
Youre a sight for sore eyes
Ive been looking
All over the place
Up where the angels sigh
Down there the dreams get
Smashed on the rocks
You and i
Wait to begin again
Lifted above by a love
That does not end
Chorus
You picked up some
Pieces of light
As you broke through
The speed of sound
I was rockin around
In my own
Two-dimensional way
Now when I hear
That jet engine blow
Then I know you are
Leaving town
Baby, Id follow you
To the edge of it all, anyway
Up where the kingdom comes
Down where the streets
Take the breath
Of another young gun
Love is a whispered prayer
Shot like a spark
Though the heart
Of dark despair
Chorus
I dont regret
Any nineteen-year-old
Indiscretions
I can still fit both my feet
In my mouth, anyway
But these days Im just not as
Willing to nurse
The obsession
If the doc says
Ive got to come out
Then Im happy to pay

Low Down Dirty Mean

Aint that low down, low down dirty mean
The way youve been treatin me,
Beats all Ive ever seen.
I loaned you my brand new car,
Said you was goin for a sunday drive,
Yeah, here it is now four days later,
I dont know if you are dead or alive,
I got on the telephone this morning,
Put the word out on the street,
And I heard you was down in memphis,
With a big man in the drivers seat.
Chorus
Got me a hidin in the bushes,
Peekin in the window pane,
Shadow moves along the wall,
I know youre in there with another man,
Tried to get in the front door,
Went around to the back door too,
I believe youve got a side track man in there,
Making my sweet love to you.
Chorus
Makin my last proclamation,
Gonna lay it on the line,
Baby Im runnin out of patience,
And you are runnin out of time,
Tired of all of your mean things,
And all your dirty tricks,
If I ever turn on you baby,
Youre gonna be in some kind of fix.

My Hearts With You
(diane warren)
I know youre leaving
I wont ask you to stay
I wont hold you back
I wont stand in your way
If thats what youve gotta do
I understand
Its not that easy setting you free
But thats how its gotta be
And as youre walking away
As Im watching you go
Theres one thing I want you to know
(chorus)
Just remember my hearts with you
When the night gets so long and cold
And no ones there to hold
And youre all alone
Take a moment to think of me
And the love that we used to know
And if you ever find you ever need me someday Im just a heartbeat away, wo
Saying goodbye isnt saying were through
Just know through it all Im still here for you
Light a light in the window
When your lost in the dark, ooh
These arms would be happy to hold you again
If ever you miss me or when you
Start thinking about
All the nights that we shared
Darling you know Ill be there
(repeat chorus (without last line))
You walk to the door with nothing to say
I look in your eyes and you look away
Youre leaving me now, but darling I hope
Hope--that youll look back someday

For all the songs that I can hear when u are near
'Cause the places I've been, well I'm trying 2 forget
But the further I run, well, the further I get
But with just one kiss, u know that it do not exist
So won't u dance for me beneath the street lamp's light
With your arms stretched out, baby, drunk on wine
U know it feels so good, like it should, just 2 laugh

There will come a time when everything will have to end
When all the wrong youve done will be your only friend
and as the clock runs down you start to lose control
No one can save you now because you sold your soul

God wants to know - what is it youve done
God wants to know - did you hear the warning
I want to know - will I be the one?

Judgement days here - now its time to meet your maker

Youre not the first to sin and you will not be the last
Just do for others what you want done back to you
Cause if youre positive, God will see you through

Second Nature
By eric clapton, simon climie & dennis morgan
You walk into the room, you know whats on my mind.
You know just how to reach me, baby, without even trying.
Dont need no one to tell me what this is leading to,
cause something deep inside of me is dragging me to you.
So roll the dice, baby, see what the future brings.
Sure feels like the right time for you to spread your wings.
Aint no one but you, baby, ever stopped me in my tracks.
Once this thing gets rolling, darling, well there aint no turning back.
Second nature, to look at what weve found.
Second nature, you know were heaven bound.
No need to think about it, you know were safe and sound.
Second nature for you to come around.
So take me to your heart, babe, and lead me to your door.
Take me in your arms, babe, never leave me any more.
Aint no one like you, baby, to stop me in my tracks.
All I know for this old heart, well there aint no turning back.

If You Live Like That
You say you want to live for today
Before today is lost
But when the returns come in
Do they balance the cost
I can see your four wheels spin
I can smell smoke from the blaze
But we arent moving anyway
If youre seeing past rose colored shades
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
I see it all around
People want it good and want it fast
As long as it moves you for the moment
It doesnt matter if it lasts
But our love is sweet
It can drive me to my knees
But we still got troubles you and i
Seeing the forest for the trees
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Ive had enough of these two lives
You say youll give to me
Ive had enough of your freedom
You know I want to feel free
Ive had enough gospel
I could spin my head around
I said if youre so caught up in heaven
You dont even see the ground
If you live like that
Dont look back
cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks, baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks, baby
I said dont look back
All we need is to take time
(slow down, new way)
See tomorrow in plain sight
(new dawn, new day)
New horizon in plain view
And were oiling up the engine
To put you straight on through
If you live like that
Dont look back
Oh no cause its cold
And its mighty
It may turn your back
Blood on the tracks baby
Blood on the tracks
Blood on the tracks baby
I said dont look back
Blood on the tracks baby

Staying up all night - this could be a party
Ive got some friends outside - looking for a good time
You better head my way - this is where its starting
No rules - no laws - tonight youre gonna stay

Hey girl hold me tight - the night aint over
Hey girl hit that light- the night aint over
Im staying up all night - this could a showdown
Ive got this thing inside - telling me dont run and hide
And theres so many roads - only you can go down
Dont close - your eyes - there just might be another way
(chorus)
Ooh I might be losing my soul
But lifes only fun when its dangerous
And I dont wanna be told
I wont play safe and start growing old
Its five in the morning
And I can feel the beads of sweat
Running down the back of my neck
Its so good to be with you again
Oo-oo-oo
Someday - wait and see
This will be just a memory
And Ill look back with no regrets
Good times like this I cant forget

Company Man

Lonely and free
Looking to make yourself known
Same as me
Well I see you in the public eyes
I see youre looking fine
The boy would be a businessman
And he signs the bottom line
(chorus)
Singing company man, do what you can with my name
Rocknroll, man here I am
Im stacking my claim to fame
Hes got the smiling face of a friend
Still youre not quite certain you know him
The smile turns into a grin
What do you owe him
You know you owe him
So if theres something you do well
Something youre proud of
Better to save some for yourself
If thats allowed
The crowd will never know you
Youll hardly know yourself
Theyll turn you round and blow you up
til you think youre someone else

He can turn your time to gold
You better make as much as you can my friend
cause his money will turn you old
And they need a young man
The job takes a young man
