You cannot keep a man down without staying down with him.

Pissheads
piss heads in the park
piss heads in the park
staying out till dark
staying out till dark
dont wanna see the crack in your arse
when you're lying on the grass
dont wanna hear your shout
when im just out walking about
piss heads in the park
piss heads in the park
staying out till dark
staying out till dark
dont wanna see your veins
coming out your brains
dont wanna feel the pain
of your life put down the drain
piss heads in the park
piss heads in the park
staying out till dark
staying out till dark
dont wanna think your my destiny
when i feel the addict in me
there has to be something more
than pissing on the floor
piss heads in the park
piss heads in the park
staying out till dark
staying out till dark
dont want the crack and the smack
when it only puts you back
to the bare necessities of being in the park
and staying out till dark
staying out till dark
so no-one sees

It's O.K. (It's Alright)
(it's alright)
I've been looking for about an hour, for a place to drink
Trouble with this town, everyone's asleep
Me and my girlfriend, had another fight
Now she's gone and left me, in the middle of the night
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
If I've been looking for about an hour, for a place to drink
If I had a number, I'd give her a ring
I've got to, got to tell her, how sorry I am
If I get to see her, I know she'll understand
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
And just you, and I, maybe we can make it right
If you're sure your answer's no,
Take you where you want to go
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
I've been trying for an hour, to find the right words
I know what she's thinking, I know how it hurts
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
And just you, and I, maybe we can make it right
If you're sure your answer's no,
I'll take you where you want to go
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night

Days And Nights Go By (by R.b.)
days and nights go by
like friends and lovers
merely passing by us
not stopping not staying
know by now, life is
like that, too, merely
passing by, not staying,
pilgrims, yes, days
and nights are pilgrims,
always passing by,
not staying,
night not blacking out
day, not exploding
yes, just passing by
like poems that you
read, that you pass
by, and then we
begin again, we pass
again, not stopping
not staying, sometimes
not even glancing.....

President Kennedy
(sleepy john estes)
Late one friday evening everybody was sad
We lost the best president we ever had
But hes gone home, gone back home
Hes staying away too long
Rode from town to town holdin up for our rights
Some low down rascal took the presidents life
But hes gone home, gone back home
Hes staying away too long
Mrs. kennedy got a mansion on the island, stayed 9 months, all shed be
She have another mansion, soon as she reach washington, d.c.
But hes gone home, gone back home
Hes staying away too long
Everybody votes, they dont know whats goin on
If goldwater get it, we wont have no home
But hes gone home, gone back home
Hes staying away too long
While horses and cars all in a row
I think mr. kennedy have a right to this long white robe
But hes gone home, gone back home
Hes staying away too long

Staying Power
Let me show it to you
See what I got
I got a heel of a lot
Tell me what you feel
Is it real
It is real
You know I got what it takes
And I can take a lot
Did you hear the last call baby
You and me got staying power
Staying power I got it I got it
I wonder when were gonna make it
I wonder when were gonna shake it
Rock me baby rock me
Cmon you can shock me
Lets catch on to the groove
Make it move, make it move
You know how to shake that thing
Well work it, work it , work it
You and I can play ball baby
You and me got staying power
I wonder when were gonna make it
I wondows when were gonna shake it
Ive got fire down below
Im just a regular dynamo
Want some smooth company
Dont lose control just hang on out with me
Got to get to know each other
But we got plenty of time
Did you hear the last call baby
You and me got staying power
You and me we got staying power
Power
I wonder where were gonna stick it
I wonder when were gonna trick it
Blow baby blow
Lets get down and go go
Get yourself in the mood
Got to give a little bit of attitude
Baby dont you crash
Lets just trash trash trash
Did you hear the last call baby
You and me got staying power
You and me we got staying power
Staying power... gotcha

Tonight Ill Be Staying Here With You
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I dont need them any more
cause tonight Ill be staying here with you.
I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And Ive waited all day long
For tonight when Ill be staying here with you.
Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.
I can hear that whistle blowin,
I see that stationmaster, too,
If theres a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
cause tonight Ill be staying here with you.
Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I dont need them any more
cause tonight Ill be staying here with you.

Oh Sunshine
OH SUN SHINE
ARE YOU COMING BACK SOON
AND WILL YOU BE STAYING THE AFTERNOON
CAUSE SUNSHINE
I`M TIRED OF DROWING IN THE RAIN
WITH MY LONELYNESS THAT REMAINS
SO SUN SHINE ARE YOU COMING BACK SOON
AND WILL YOU BE STAYING THE AFTERNOON
CAUSE SUNSHINE WITHOUT YOU I`M BLUE
AND TIME DOESN`T MOVE
IT`S WHERE I LOSE MY GROOVE
SO SUNSHINE ARE YOU COMING BACK SOON
AND WILL YOU BE STAYING THE AFTERNOON
CAUSE I`M TIRED OF DROWING IN MY SADNESS
AND SUNSHINE WHEN YOU DO SHINE
YOU TAKE AWAY MY MADNESS
BY LIGHTING UP MY DAY
AND CHASING THE RAIN AWAY
SO SUNSHINE WILL YOU BE COMING SOON
AND WILL YOU BE STAYING THE AFTERNOON
OH SUNSHINE

Sunrise And Sunset
SUNRISE AND SUNSET
Sunrise and sunset moments of mystery of the vast universe
In shadows of life sun and moon following each other
Like a clock work staying in the tracks without coheres
Sunlight and moonlights luster lights up the world together forever
Roaming the skies complimenting each other strolling in Milky Way
Staying in the path never going stray morning and evening
Drawing the invisible lines keeping from crossing night and day
From dawn to dusk without a break raising and setting
Keeping the cycle in flow of time to be precise
Never stopping or pausing staying in pace with natural order
In harmony with the seasons always staying close to concise
Within the circle of other planets leaning on each other
World of conundrum that we live in life’s journey
Mystic of the creator whether it be sunny or rainy

Staying With My Baby
Written by ricky wilde
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
The pain inside
When you think you love another
But cant decide which way to go
And youre searching for a reason to leave his side
In time youll see
It has to be this way
And though it hurts to say
Im gonna be staying with my baby
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
I know hes good for me
I can see that hes feeling down
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
But I know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
So dry your eyes, before you turn away
You must know that Ill always love you
But now, Im staying with my baby
You used to say
I should maybe take it further
And leave one day
My family - but Im responsible for them
They depend on me
So now you see, our love is history
Im sad it has to end
But Im gonna be staying with my baby
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
I know hes good for me
I can see that hes feeling down
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
But I know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
So dry your eyes, before you turn away
You must know that Ill always love you
But now, Im staying with my baby
(Im staying with my baby... yes I am)
Please understand
Hes just a desperate man
Whos doing all he can
So Im going back
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
I know hes good for me
I can see that hes feeling down
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
But I know he cares for me
And in time he will come around
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
Im gonna stay
(Im gonna stay... (Im gonna stay...))
Im gonna stay

Ocean Avenue
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both 18 and it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were begging me not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
Be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away

Never Make You Cry
By eric clapton
Its so easy loving you
With everything I feel inside,
And holding me the way you do,
Its here Im staying all of my life.
Ill never ever make you cry.
Ill never ever say goodbye.
Cant you see it in my eyes?
Im yours until the day I die.
Ill watch you fall asleep at night,
Ill smile and kiss you, hold you tight,
Ill hold your hand and close my eyes,
Its here Im staying all of my life.

Staying Together
You cant go boy
Weve been over it a hundred times but this ones different
This time Im not asking what you think
Im telling you
Were staying together
Whether you like it or not
Here we go!
Verse 1:
If you thought that I would get up and go
Oh baby got something you should know
I got one thing on my mind
Thats staying together
Oh and Ill tell you boy, it just isnt right
I wont say goodbye without a fight
cause you and me are staying together
Chorus:
Dont you say goodbye to me boy
Theres something you should know
Heres love before your eyes
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
Its like I told you before
Lets stay together
Verse 2:
Oh, if you thought that I would stand by your side
You know me boy, I never lied
Cause you and me are staying together
Oh it was so much more than love at first sight
Please say youll stay, say you might
Then say we are staying together
Chorus
Bridge:
Cause I dont know baby what youve done, dont know
(I only know baby, I only know)
You were always the only one
(oh please dont go baby, oh please dont go)
Dont take my heart away from me
And leave me out in the cold baby
(out in the cold baby)
Cause youre the only one, cause youre the only one
Who could ever hold me
Now heres love
Ooo ooo
Heres love before your eyes
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
So lets stay together
Dont you say it, dont you say it, dont you say it
Dont you say goodbye to me boy
(heres love) its right before your eyes
Dont even think about it!
If you go my heart would leave me
When you walk out that door
Its like I told you before
Lets stay together
Dont you say goodbye
No, dont you say goodbye
(heres love) heres love
Its right before your

Stone
Tangled dream and endless highways
Bang the drum in a foreign land
Sometimes I wonder what Im chasing
When all I need is the touch of your hand
Ive got no fixed abode out of own
Babe it gets so cold
Without your love Im just a stone
And we all laugh and the jokes get wilder
Staying up, staying out
Drinking till you fade away in to the morning
And the strangest cold eats deeper still
Without you sweet kiss Im gone forever
Without your touch Ive no control
Without your love Im just a looser
Without your love Im just a stone

So Glad
I left my baby
I bought a ticket for the train
I waited all day long
But the train never came
And I was so glad
I was so glad
The train never came
The reason I was leaving
Was all because of sin
I didnt want to do it
But I was sucked in
And I was so sad
I was so bad
I didnt go home
I was out with the boys
Drinking all night
Gambling all my money
Got into a fight
And I cried for my baby
But my baby never came
Sirens were a wailing
And I stepped off of the train
I picked up my bags
And started down the road
The night was drawing in now
And I was getting cold
And I was so glad
I was so glad
She was still home
Ill never go out with the boys
Drinking all night
Im saving all my money
Never getting in a fight
And Ill stay with my baby
Never leaving her alone
Im keeping outta trouble
So Ill be staying at home
Ill be so glad
Were both still home
Were both still home
Were both still home
Staying at home
Staying at home
Were both still home

The Last Hour
here's the army
that you mowed to the ground
and the bodies you left lying around
talking it out
the last hour
i'm through trying now
it's a big relief
i'll be staying down
where no-one else gonna give me grief
mess me around
just make it over
your opinion was the law of the land
a single thing that i couldn't always understand
i lived it out from hour to hour
the only thing that never really changed
you ran me all around
and dragged me down
at the end of the day
don't keep me around
just make it over
i've been thinking of the things that i missed
situations that i passed up for this
one way love i took for ours
i'm through trying now
it's a big relief
i'll be staying down
i wasn't good at being a theif
more like a clown

One Of These Days
I didn't notice
But I didn't care
I tried being honest
But that left me nowhere
I watched the station
Saw the bus pulling through
And I don't mind saying
A part of me left with you
So one of these days
[chorus]
I won't be afraid of staying with you
I hope and I pray
Waiting to find a way back to you
'Cause that's where I'm homeoh
Did I make you nervous?
Did I ask for too much?
Was I not deserving?
One second of your touch
And one of these days
[chorus]
What would you do if I could have you?
What if I could
And left you feel everything and think yeah
One thought denies
Wouldn't that be nice
And one of these days
I won't be afraid of staying with you

Dont Leave Your Mark On Me
Under your protective wing I walked into the night
And a thousand angry demons up and took flight
And I went running through the fields with the fever in my veins
And the rain came crashing down and tried to clear my name
Above my head, all in red, I could see you bearing down on me
You said youre not running out, no youre leaving now
I will find you, there is no way out
Ill keep tracking you down in the still of this night
Forever, mine forever
Chorus:
Dont leave your mark on me, I have to reply
Im not staying, no, and Im not just killing time
Dont leave your mark on me, I have to reply, Im not staying, no
Im not staying, no
Mistress of the darkness, accomplice of the night
A shadow in the doorway beckons me inside
And something led the way though I could not see its face
And a voice from deep inside me screamed to get out of this place
Above my head, all was said as the jailor turned the key on me
He said youre not running out, no youre not leaving now
There aint no way, there is no no way
(chorus)
This nightmare never ends, memories of absent friends
Masked illusions stare at me, point the finger silently
Stand accused as the jury scares, theres a ghost in here somewhere
Theres a ghost in here somewhere
(chorus)
Im not staying, no
Oh this nightmare really never ends, this is memories of absent friends
(dont leave your mark on me)
Oh this nightmare really never ends, theres a ghost in here somewhere
(dont leave your mark on me)
