Gift With A Golden Gun
Its a twelve oclock depression, my mind is in recession
And I cant answer you
Its the day I cant remember, I think its late september
Or is it april blue
I cant find peace of mind in a world so unkind
Its just a little heartbreaker, just a little heartbreaker, yeah
Its a sticky situation when Im near hallucination, and I refuse to bow
They used to think me funny when I promised them their money
But theyre not laughing now
Chorus:
I cant find peace of mind, then she calls me just in time
Shes a gift with a golden gun, and shes got them on the run
Shes a gift with a golden gun, cause she knows what theyve done
(instrumental break)
Chorus
Just what theyve done, done, done, done, done
What theyve done, done, done, done, done
Just what theyve done, done, done, done, done...

More Than Love
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
On a warm summer morning
The suns hurting their eyes
No one is listening
cos theyre telling lies
Then they walk along the beach
Sun rising on the shore
As it moves across the sky
A scene from a film, as time goes by
Chorus:
Its much more than love
This feeling is stronger
Than any theyve known before
Can it go on any longer
Its much more than love
Its a spell that theyre under
Its hurting their hearts again
They cant go on any longer
He says, its alright
Shes not too sure
Just who are we, hear her
Crying out for more
Trying to make it work
They wont mind laughter now
Some kissing distant waves
As she leaves him with a smile
Chorus
Theyve got to take their time
To fight to keep their love alive
Theyve got to take their time
To fight to keep their love alive
Chorus (x2)

Peoples Parties
All the people at this party
Theyve got a lot of style
Theyve got stamps of many countries
Theyve got passport smiles
Some are friendly
Some are cutting
Some are watching it from the wings
Some are standing in the centre
Giving to get something
Photo beauty gets attention
Then her eye paints running down
Shes got a rose in her teeth
And a iampshade crown
One minute shes so happy
Then shes crying on someones knee
Saying laughing and crying
You know its the same release
I told you when I met you
I was crazy
Cry for us all beauty
Cry for eddie in the corner
Thinking hes nobody
And jack behind his joker
And stone-cold grace behind her fan
And me in my frightened silence
Thinking I dont understand
I feel like Im sleeping
Can you wake me
You seem to have a broader sensibility
Im just living on nerves and feelings
With a weak and a lazy mind
And coming to peoples parties
Fumbling deaf dumb and blind
I wish I had more sense ot humor
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away
Laughing it ali away
Laughing it all away

Heartbreaker
Once I had a little girl, sometimes I think about her,
But, buddy, you know shes not really there.
When memories do call, I just, I just cant live without her
But tryin all the time is so hard to bear.

Heartbreaker, cant take her,
Heartbreaker, bringing me down.
Heartbreaker, cant take her,
Heartbreaker, bringing me down.

Home Again
Where is she going - ooh, she looks like shes lost
Wont someone help her - somebody give her a hand
Shes got such sweet eyes - look like theyve seen too much
Knew someone like here - nobody helped, but shes
Home again...home again...home again
Where are you going - to see a crazy old man
What will he tell you - hell tell me where Im going
What will you do then - I might just quit my job
What will you do then - Im gonna find my way
Home again...home again...home again
(chorus)
(wherere we going, wherere we going, home again,
Were home again, were home)
Where is he going - why does he walk that way
Sticking his chest out - what is he trying to say
Hes got charisma - but when hes all alone
He curls up in a ball - and wishes that he was
Home again...home again...home again
Where are we going - why do we feel so small
Alone and helpless - in this big crazy world
Looking for something - thats so hard to describe
But just like children - going along for the
Ride again...ride again...ride again
(chorus)
Well, aint that something - guess I lost my head
Must have took a wrong turn - when I got outa bed
Ended up on the wrong street - wrong side of town
People here are the wrong type - theyve got me down
Im eating the wrong food - drinkin the wrong wine
Cant hardly see straight - cant walk the line
Shakin all the wrong hands - makin the wrong talk
Steppin on the wrong feet - every time I walk
(chorus)

Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together
Angel, angel
Dont take your life tonight
I know they take
And that they take in turn
And they give you nothing real
For yourself in return
But when theyve used you
And theyve broken you
And theyve wasted all your money
And cast your shell aside
And when theyve bought you
And theyve sold you
And theyve billed you for the pleasure
And theyve made your parents cry
I will be here
Oh, believe me
I will be here
...believe me
Angel, dont take your life
Some people have got no pride
They do not understand
The urgency of life
But I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life

American Hearts
(dominic bugatti, frank musker)
They were married in september back in 1969
They traveled east to india to find some peace of mind
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time, wo wo
They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it with love and sharing
They never lived like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun
(chorus)
American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken
Now theyve got a family and a cottage in the hills
Hes always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers?
Now theyve got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They fought with divorce and it breaks their
(chorus)
Now that its over, they each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
Theyll care for their children
Protect them with pride
And thats how the dream will survive in
(repeat chorus)

Something In The Way She Moves
Something in the way she moves
Theres something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
Shes around me now
Almost all the time.
n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
n(and) shes been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.___________
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where shes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
A-shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And shes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine.___________

Shes Going Out Of My Mind
Shes going out of my mind
By: mac mcanally
1984
I talk to her pictures
And stare at the walls
And my friends come and offer their help
To my back theyre afraid that Im losing it all
To my face they say Im not myself
And they name all the doctors they think I should see
But they dont understand its not me
Chorus:
Shes goin out of my mind
And Im showin all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now shes goin out of my mind
The place that I kept her
Has suited her well
Though its not where she wanted to be
And from up on that pedestal I couldnt tell
That shed rather be down here with me
Now she just tells me how we cant relate
But she leaves out the part I cant take
Chorus:
Shes goin out of my mind
And Im showin all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now shes goin out of my mind
Theres a tear in her eyes as they drive me away
And I turn to the doctors and say
Chorus:
Shes goin out of my mind
And Im showin all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now shes goin out of my mind
Yeah shes goin out of my mind

Attitude
Johnny moved to this big town
To be who he could be.
But the tough guys on the sidewalk
They dont want him to be free.
But he knows he has the power,
He knows someday theyll be dead.
The cant get him to turn around
He keeps walking straight ahead
cuz hes got attitude.
And it will get him through.
And hes got attitude,
And it will see him though.
Backstage mary
She grew up with nothing but hunger in her purse.
All the fancy ladies tell her
Youll only go from bad to worse.
But she just keeps on believing,
She tells them shes doing fine.
They get rich while she gets smart,
Shes growing stronger all the time
cuz shes got attitude,
And it will get her through.
And shes got attitude,
And it will see her through.
Everybody knows who they are,
They need no address.
They make sure things are going their way,
And the countrys in a mess.
As they buy that land, start that war,
Keep those people poor,
They dont care if people arent
Going to take it anymore.
And theyve got attitude,
And it will get them through.
And theyve got attitude,
And it will see them through.

Night Riders Lament
One night while I was out a ridin
The grave yard shift, midnight til dawn
The moon was bright as a readin light
For a letter from an old friend back home.
And he asked me
Why do you ride for your money
Tell me why do you rope for short pay
You aint agettin nowhere
And youre loosin your share
Boy, you must have gone crazy out there.
He said last night I ran on to jenny
Shes married and has a good life
And boy you sure missed the track
When you never come back
Shes the perfect professionals wife.
And she asked me
Why does he ride for his money
And tell me why does he rope for short pay
He aint agettin nowhere
And hes loosin his share
Boy he mustve gone crazy out there.
Ah but theyve never seen the northern lights
Theyve never seen a hawk on the wing
Theyve never spent spring on the great divide
And theyve never heard ole camp cookie sing.
Well I read up the last of my letter
And I tore off the stamp for black jim
And when billy rode up to relieve me
He just looked at my letter and grinned.
He said now
Why do they ride for their money
Tell me why do they ride for short pay
They aint agettin nowhere
And theyre loosin their share
Boy, they mustve gone crazy out there
Son, they all must be crazy out there

Time For Change
I heard some kids telling me
How theyve lost all the faith in the way
Theyve been talking world peace
And the wars in the streets
(pre-chorus)
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution, or reach out
And touch the day
Were overdue, child
(chorus)
Change
Now its time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now its time for change
I feel the the future in the hands
Of our youth will be safe
No more lies
Old, tired fools tell our future
With tarot cards, and lie of crime
(pre-chorus)(chorus)
Ill change
Ill change
Not tomorrow but today

Were In This Together
Ive become impossible
Holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose
You and me
Were in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well theyve got to kill what we found
Well theyve got to hate what they fear
Well theyve got to make it go away
Well theyve got to make it disappear
The farther I fall Im beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound Im inside you
For ever and ever I am a part of
You and me
Were in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through some how
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on
You and me
Were in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
Youre the queen and Im the king
Nothing else means anything

Blue Chair
Now its just you and me, my blue friend
And you say that its you that shes thinking of
And our affair must end
But if its you that shes thinking of
I think my broken heart might mend
Chorus: now its my turn to talk and your turn to think
Your turn to buy and my turn to drink
Your turn to cry and my turn to sink down in the blue chair
Down in the blue chair
Now Ive made up my mind Ive made my mistake
And I know that she cries for you
When shes barely awake
Well shes going to bend your mind
Well I hope it dont break
Chorus
Down in the blue chair
We can watch our troubles rise
Like smoke into the air
And drift up to the ceiling
Down in the blue chair
You can feel just like a boy or a man
And next minute you can find yourself kneeling
Down in the blue chair
Theyre boasting of loving the daylights right out of her in the small hours
Down in the blue chair
You say that your love lasts forever when you know the night just hours
And still I want her right now
Not any minute, hour or day
And wherever she is tonight
I want her anyway
I suppose she never said to you,
You were just in the way

Down in the blue chair
Down in the blue
Blue becomes you
Down in the blue chair

They keep telling of the day
When the savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me

Lets Go
Shes driving away with the dim lights on
Shes making a play and she cant go wrong
She never waits too long
Shes winding them down on her clock machine
And she wont give up cause shes seventeen
Shes a frozen fire
Shes my one desire
Chorus
And I dont want to hold her down
Dont want to break her crown
When she says, lets go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, lets go
Shes laughing inside cause they cant refuse
Shes so beautiful now, she doesnt wear her shoes
She doesnt like to choose
Shes got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said shes holding out
Shes a frozen fire
Shes my one desire

Hes A Rebel
These are the original ones:
See the way she walks down the street?
Watch the way she shuffles her feet.
May she holds her head up high as she goes walking bye.
And she throws her hands out so fast.
And shes not just one of the pack.
My baby always the one to try the things theyve never done.
And just because of that theyre saying:
Shes a rebel and shell never be any good.
Shes a rebel cuz she never, never does what she should.
And just because she doesnt do, what everybody else does.
Thats the reason why I can give her all my love.

Aint Going Down
(til the sun comes up)
Six oclock on friday evening
Momma doesn t know shes leaving
til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin, gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and theyre headin to the rodeo
Mommas on the front porch screamin out her warning
Girl you better get your red head
Back in bed before the morning.
Nine oclock the show is ending
But the fun is just beginning
She knows hes anticipating
But shes gonna keep him waiting
Grab a bite to eat
And then theyre heading to the honkey tonk
But loud crowds and line dancing
Just aint what they really want
Drive out to the boondocks and park down by the creek
And where its george strait til real late
And dancing cheek to cheek.
(chorus)
Aint going down til the sun comes up
Aint givin in til they get enough
Going round the world in a pickup truck
Aint goin down til the sun comes up
Ten til twelve is wine and dancing
Midnight starts the hard romancing
One oclock that truck is rocking
Two is coming, still no stopping
Break to check the clock at three
Theyre right on where they want to be
Four oclock get up and going
Five oclock that roosters crowing

Six oclock on saturday
Her folks dont know hes on his way
The stalls are clean, the horses fed
They say shes grounded til shes dead
Well here he comes around the bend
Slowing down, shes jumping in
Hey mom, youre daughters gone
And there they go again

Golden Goose
If you know how to catch a mouse
The world will beat a pathway to your door
But since the first ones found our house
I can appreciate the saying more
I dont know
What they expect to find
I dont know
I cant make up my mind
They say hes got a special gift
But I dont envy him at all
They started camping in the yard
Theyve got their ears pressed up against the wall
I dont know
How long can this go on
I dont know
How did it last this long
Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
But no one cares if theyre the one
Who kills the golden goose
Everybody wants an egg from the golden goose
I wonder just how many eggs are in the golden goose?
A paparazzis at the door
He says hes here from people magazine
And theres some lady on the phone
Wants him to advertise designer jeans

Why Aint I Running
More info about this song in the song database
I can hear that highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually goodbye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Shes like no other woman
That I have known before
And it aint me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Chorus:
Why aint I running, why aint I gone
How does she hold me without holding on
In love or a fight shes stronger than strong
Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong
Its got me wondering, why aint I running
Why aint I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
They would never recognize me for all that shes done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that Im alone
Repeat chorus
No, theyve never built a wall that high
Or made a chain that strong
And God aint never made a place
I felt like I belong
Repeat chorus
