You'll Never Know
Why am I here all alone
I'm gettin' growing pains
And I'm feeling so old
I'm gettin' tired,
Walking in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now life has taken it's toll
And now my sanity is gettin' harder to hold
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now don't take advice from a stranger
You can't live your life by what other's do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
How can I make it alone?
It's such a crazy world
And I'm feelin' so stoned
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Just sleepin' in the sand
You can't see the light from an angel
You can't add the price of what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was

Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed

Tired Of Gettin Nowhere
Chorus:
Im tired of gettin nowhere, wish I was inspired, but its just not there
I hope this doesnt last, cause Im tired of gettin nowhere fast
Woke up this morning and went back to sleep
The sun was pourin and the rain was gettin deep
I dont know what Im supposed to do
cause everywhere I turn, I wind up headin back to you
I dont know how long I will lay here in this bed
Staring at the ceiling, going crazy in my head
Got to find some meaning, some kind of reason to go on
The only one I had was you and now youre gone, and
Chorus
My friends all tell me I should mellow out
Surely Ive got better things to think about
Must be something I can find to help me lose these blues
But the only thing thats on my mind, is standing in your shoes
Chorus
Youd think by now Id be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
Im all dressed up but without you theres nowhere to go
(solo)
Ooh, youd think by now Id be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
Im all dressed up but without you theres nowhere to go
And Im so tired of gettin nowhere
Wish I was inspired, but its just not there
I hope this doesnt last, cause Im tired of gettin
Tired of gettin, tired of gettin nowhere
Im tired of gettin nowhere, so real tired of gettin nowhere
Tired of gettin nowhere, tired, tired of gettin
Im tired of gettin nowhere, ooh yeah, wont you say it, ooh yeah
Tired of gettin nowhere fast - get some rest!

Sleepin
(ron miller/terry erlinger)
Johnnys been runnin hard all his life
cause life never treated him right
Well he aint running now
You see his eyes are closed
They cant hurt him tonight
Sleepin, hes sleepin
Just let him be for a while
Dont wake him, dont take him
To where the people dont smile
Sleepin, my man is sleepin nice now
Please let him stay here with me
I promise, Ill keep him
At home, where hes supposed to be
Hes been out there
In the streets you know
And strugglin, scufflin
Trying to survive
Out there in a richmans world
And now you say my johnny is not alive
But youre wrong, cant you see
Sleepin, hes just sleepin mister
He doesnt rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And Ill just die for his touch
Sleepin, hes sleepin
Without a care to his name
Hes peaceful
Hes quiet
Hes tired of runnin his game
Hes been out there
In the streets you know
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there
Where you fight like hell
He never learned a fix dont fix a thing
Dont touch him
Johnny put too much in his vanes
And now youre trying to tell me hes gone
I dont believe you
Im just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms
Sleepin, hes sleepin
He doesnt rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard

Lovin You
If youve been wonderin what Im gonna do
While you are sleepin, am I sleepin, too
Well I just sittin here lovin you
Close my eyes an lovin you
Im just sittin back, sittin here lovin you
An I have been wonderin just what I would do
If I werent sleepin, had I not found you
Well Id be outside findin you
Id be walkin on the avenue findin you
Well, Im just sittin back, sittin here lovin you
Now the reason that you never see me runnin round
Fingers on my forehead couldnt calm me down
An he cant even get me up and on my feet
When Ive got to take care of some business on the street
I have been walkin all my streets alone
But I wont keep walkin to keep from goin home
Couldnt quite barely concieve of you
Aw, an Im just sittin back, sittin here lovin you
If youve been wonderin what Im gonna do
While you are sleepin, am I sleepin, too
Well I just sittin here lovin you
I just close my eyes an lovin you

Acquiesce
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other

I've got the power, uh
I've got the power
I've got the power, wa-wa-what-what, uh
I've got the power, woah-oh-oh
Like the crack of the whip I attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, what you got?

I've got the power, uh, say what
I've got the power, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen

Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

Sleepin Alone
This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it appears on.
For someone whos got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what youre lookin for, theres never quite enough
And all the tea in china wont make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin alone
There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside
Or someone you can call around if youve lost all your pride
Please dont be mistaken. I dont mean to put that down
I know theres times when anything is better than sleepin alone
Sleepin alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
You know its not company you are lookin for
You know its not just pleasure, you know its somethin more
You know its not the answer if its not like comin home
If the one whos there doesnt really care, its worse than sleepin alone
Sleepin alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend
Sleepin alone can make you swear to God this night will never end
For someone whos got everything, life can still be rough
If things are what youre lookin for, theres never quite enough
And all the gold that glitters wont make a house a home
You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin alone
You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin alone

Your Ole Handy Man
I have to mow the lawn
And i have to wash the car
And i'd just like to know
Just who you think you are
I'm gettin' tired of wagging
That old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man
I have to run your water
And i have to wash your back
And i have to scrub the tub
After you have had your bath
You're as helpless as a baby
But i love you, understand
I'm just gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now i know you've got ten fingers
But where's your helpin' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all i'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
I do everything for you
You never help yourself
An' i think i'd die from shock
If you raised a hand to help
Well, i'm not gonna keep it up
That's what you got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man
Now i know you got ten fingers
But where's that helpin' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all i'm gonna stand

My Last Name
I can feel your goodbye comin'
Like a storm up from the south
The rain'll splatter at the back door
The wind'll whistle 'round the house
So it's you and Howie Johnston
Somebody told me at the store
I guess I'd better get used
To the idea of you
Not around anymore
(Chorus)
And so, I'm doin' my best to prepare for the worst
And I'd better get use to the hunger and thirst
I gotta find me a potion
To take for the pain
And all you've got to lose
Is my last name
I know he's cute and he's got money
I ain't no handsome fancy Dan
In a way it's sad and kinda funny
You'll be ok and I'll be damned
So I best be gettin' ready
For the bitter nights alone
Sleepin' on the couch
Wake up starting out
Livin' life on my own
(Repeat Chorus)
Yeah, all you've got to lose is my last name

Satin In A Coffin
You were laying on the carpet
like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead.
Well you disappeared so often
like you dissolved into coffee.
Are you here right now
or are there probably fossils under your meat?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead.
Now the blow's been softened,
since the air we breathe's our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened,
since the ocean is our coffin.
Often times you know our laughter
is your coffin ever after.
And you know the blow's been softened,
since the world is our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened
since we are our own damn coffins.
Well everybody's talkin' about their short lists.
Everybody's talkin' about death.
You were laying on the carpet
like you're satin in a coffin.
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often.
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God, I sure hope you are dead.

Jus wanna find out what you did last night
Before I leave you
Oh I found her number and I know her name
Ive gotta front this girl make her explain
I cant believe she dipped into my thang
And yet shes getting over
Chorus
It took a lot for me to give you all my lovin
And just to think I gave you everything for nothin
I tried my best to satisfy you
All the times that I stood right by you
I think that Id be better on my own (on my own)

No I cant believe
That you did this to me
So dont try to play it down (well you better leave)

I'm Tired Of It All
I am tired of it all
I am tired of today
I am tired of the summer heat-
I am tired of all the years of trying to be something
And still being nothing and no one
I am tired of myself and my ambition
I am tired of reading the great poems of others
I am tired of Poetry
I am tired of being old
I am tired of no longer having the means to help those I care for-
I am tired of having written for so many years
And having so little to show for it-
I am tired of being an old man getting older -
I am tired of being afraid of what is going to happen to me
And those close to me
I am tired of having so many sick friends-
I am tired of having more and more people I have known who are dead
I am tired of a world in which violence and stupidity play such a great part
I am tired of all the problems that should have been solved years ago
And yet persist-
I am tired of cruelty
I am tired of rudeness and petty selfishness
I am tired of seeing the evil get away with it
I am tired truly tired
Tired of being tired also
Tired of myself and my complaints-
And my failure all these years
To make things right-
And yet and yet with all the tiredness
I know there is so much else even in myself-
I still want to live and dream and hope and help those I love
I still want to write still a few lines of poetry
that will be read by others
And help them
Dream to begin again
I still want to give to those I love
The little I still have to give
I still want to live
For life itself is life itself is still good
Despite the tiredness.

One Good Reason
Ive got one hand on the door,
One hand in my pocket,
The world is on my shoulders,
And Im tryin to get to you.
Im gettin pretty worried,
Now that ronnies in the office,
I shouldnt let it get to me,
Theres nothin I can do.
Think that you should know by now,
Youve done the damage now it cant be changed,
So give me one good reason,
One good reason to stay.
Well I knew that you were sleepin
And I didnt want to wake you,
Cause this troubled look I got,
Might make you change your mind.
Theres no need for compensation,
Theres no reason to foresake me,
I was looking for the answers,
But theres nothin here to find.

When I live by faith and now my work is through?

Oh its gonna rain (its gonna rain) on the world today
Now when, when, when I am in doubt
And I think that things for me will never work out,
But where, where, where the heart is true,
Ya know lord, your god, will never forsake you.

Who Drove The Red Sports Car?
Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines
And who said follow the man its your only chance
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own
And who said
Look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face and
Who did your homework and read your bible,
And signed your name everyplace and
Who said fortunes untold dont go by gold,
Youre much better known
You got to make it on your own, on your own.
And do you remember, do you remember
I said a long time ago when I came walkin down
I came walkin down
Maggies place
It started comin on rain,
It started comin on rain,
cause I had nothin on but a shirt
And a pair of pants
And I was gettin wet,
And I was gettin wet,
Saturated, saturated
And maggie opened up the window
And jane swung out her right arm,
She said, hi! I said, hi! ya.
Howre your doin baby.
She said, come on in out of the rain
Come on in out of the rain, lord,
Come on in out of the rain.
Sit down by the fireside
Dry yourself,
Do, do it,
I got caught,
I got caught,
In a bag.

By All Means Necessary
Canned laughter for applause
You've opened doors
In and out of their wives
In and out of your smalls
It's not a BAFTA you're after
You want a million dollar lay
By all means necessary
You will get your way
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say
All the make up that you wear
Can't hide the flaws
Your work in charity for your own cause
You won't be dating a teacher
You'd rather shag a manic street preacher
By all means necessary
You will get your way
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say
Sex with a stranger
You've been laid in a manger
And you think he's your saviour
Will he leave his pager?
You could be his daughter
Look what he's bought ya
But the money won't change ya
Of that there's no danger
Now your life's gettin' darker
It's you that they're after
Fifteen minutes a martyr
Blame it on your father
That dress nearly fits ya
Girl what's possessed you
Can we please take your picture
You know they'll forget ya
Ooh yeah
It all seems so easy
But so are you
That's what I've heard them say
By all means necessary
You will get your way
By all means necessary
You will get your way
By all means necessary
You will get your way
You don't get your way
By giving it away
