Bird Flyin' High
Hey there little bird
look what you've done to me.
I looked up to see you fly
and I felt something hit my eye.
Now I ask myself just why
I looked up at all.
They tell me I shouldn't complain
for it's good luck, are they insane?
Never more will I see you fly
'Cause I'm not lookin' up that high.
Not gonna take a chance with my eye
to see what's gonna fall.

Right Down To It
(brian greenway)
Published by greentunes, inc. - bmi
Whoa yeah
She was down and out, had just enough
Of the things to keep a young girl alive
It was gettin rough, but she soon got tough
To the fact of makin sure she survived
She was out of luck, she didnt have a buck
So I laid it to her straight on the line
Get up for me baby
Come on were gonna have a good time
My my baby, come on were gonna have a good time
Over here
Sooner or later, girl, I will persuade ya
Just to gimme gimme gimme what you got
Well I dont have a lover, that would blow my cover
Come on and give some of your rock n roll love
I was feelin great, I didnt hesitate
So I looked the girl right in the eye
Baby baby baby, come on were gonna have a good time
So I got right down to it
Sweet sixteen never looked so good before
You know I always knew it
But this time I knew better than before, oh dig it
You know I didnt say much, but I guess I said enough
Cause the two of us were doin really good
When the sun came a risin, I was realizin
That I had to have her with me if I could
I was feelin great, I didnt hesitate
So I looked the girl right in the eye
Baby baby baby, come on were gonna have a good time
So I got right down to it
Sweet sixteen never looked so good before
You know I always knew it
But this time I knew better than before
You know, I almost blew it
But she held me back away from the door
And we got right down to it, ooh, we did

Because I Got High (Radio Edit)
I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
my room is still messed up and I know why

I was gonna go to class before I got high
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high
I am taking it next semester and I know why

I wasnt gonna run from the cops but I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic

I was gonna make love to you but then I got high
I was gonna eat yo p***y too but then I got high

Bad Bad Boy
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Said Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
Well I made my first kill
With the old town girl
She was the apple of her daddys eye
Well that woman looked up at me
And I said honey well be
Together till the day I die
But I lied
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
There seems to be no end
Of women who are lookin for a man
My services dont come cheap
But I help out when I can
Tell them lies that they wanna hear
Andi really lead em on
Spend all of their money
And Im long, gone
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
Ive got tastes for fast cars
I dont wanna settle down
The good life sure come s easily
With all the mugs around
The women they just come to me
I dont have to look around
I move into their homes with them
Then I move on
Im a bad, bad, boy
And Im gonna steal your love
Im a bad, bad, boy
Im gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then Im gonna rip you off
Im a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,bad, bad, bad, bad,bad,bad, bad, boy

Just take control of the time
Im a bad, bad,bad,bad,bad
You know Im a bad boy

Night In The City
Standin at the airport lookin down the strip,
She was cryin her eyes, she was bitin her lip.
Seven-four-seven just left from gate eleven
And theres no turnin round cos its just leavin the ground
And gettin higher higher.
Standin at the dock-side lookin out to sea
When I saw her but she did not see me.
There she stood with no hope because shed missed the boat
And as her dreams sailed away she headed back for the day,
Back to the city city.
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin you insane.
In the city city
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin you insane.
I was runnin kinda lonely at the city place.
I waited for an hour, I never saw her face.
Crazy ladies that wait and slide around like a snake.
I just cant take anymore, Im going in through the door
Into the city city.
Ill get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Ill get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Ill get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Ill get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Ill get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Ill get you, yes, Im gonna get you,
Drivin you insane.
Night in the city, o-o-oh,
Madness at mid-mid-mid-midnight,
Night in the city drivin you insane,
Drivin you insane,
Drivin you insane.

Tomorrow
I didnt know just what to say, when you turned and you looked my way
It doesnt happen to me every day, can we talk a while?
I didnt know just what to do, I couldnt seem to take my eyes off you
You know I wanted just to take you home, but thats not your style
And tomorrow, were gonna fall in love, fall in love
Tomorrow, were gonna fall in love, fall in love, tomorrow, tomorrow
I didnt even know your name, like a moth I was in your flame
I knew you wanted me to feel real good by the way you smiled
You didnt have to say a word, I tried to tell you, but I lost my nerve
You know I wanted just to slip away for a little while
And tomorrow, were gonna fall in love, fall in love
Tomorrow, were gonna fall in love, fall in love, tomorrow, tomorrow
Were gonna fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with me
(but tonight, when the feeling feels so right, we got all the love we need)
I didnt know just what to say
This doesnt happen to me every day and thats not my style
And tomorrow, were gonna fall in love, fall in love
Tomorrow, were gonna fall in love, fall in love
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

(tomorrow) fall in love, fall in love
(tomorrow) fall in love, fall in love, (tomorrow) fall in love, fall in love
Were gonna fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with me

Teenage Lament '74
What a drag it is
These gold lame jeans
Is this the coolest way
To get through your teens
Well, I cut my hair
With a rib teht it was in
I looked like a rooster
Than was drowned and raised again
What are you gonna do
I tell you waht I'm gonna do
Why don't you get away
I'm gonna leave today
I ran into my room
And I fell down on my knees
Well, I thought that fifteen
Was gonna be a breeze
I picked up my guitar
To blast away the clouds
But somebody in the next room yield
"You gotta turn that damn thing down!"
What are you gonna do
I tell you waht I'm gonna do
Why don't you get away
Well, I'm gonna cry all day
And I know trouble
Is brewin' out there
But I can hardly care
They fight all night
About his private secretary
Lipstick stain, blond hair
What are you gonna do
I tell you what I'm gonna do
Why don't you run away
I'm gonna leave today
But even I
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Don't know what I'm gonna do
What are you gonna do
I tell you what I'm gonna do
Why don't you run away
Well, I'm gonna leave today
What are you gonna do
I tell you what I'm gonna do
Why don't you get away
Well, I'd rather cry all day
What are you gonna do, gonna do, gonna do...

As I Said Before
And I said before
I don't want no more
And I can't complain
'cause my minds insane
I won't say it again and I won't even think about it
I just hope you believe me but I
think that you're gonna doubt it
when I say it again
As I said before
I don't want no more
And I can't complain
'cause my mind's insane
I won't say it again and I won't even think about it
I just hope you believe me but I
think that you're gonna doubt it
when I say it again
Leaves on the trees
Nothing more to believe
I can't be sure
And I know I'm not crazy
Life is just a pleasant breeze
Tides rush the shore
Pleasing me a little more
Nothing here to fight me
Everything delight's me
Hope I get my tea by 4
But don't lay no second laughs down my way
Don't let the evening's that devour you lie forever
Don't you lay no second laughs down my way
Don't let the evening's that devour you lie forever
As I said before
I don't want no more
And I can't complain
'cause my mind's insane
I won't say it again and I won't even think about it
I just hope you believe me but I
think that you're gonna doubt it

Its Our Love
I found you lookin for the rainbow
You found me waitin for a chance
Now we got something good together
A life where we have joined our hands
And there ain t nobody gonna break that
Our love
And there aint noeody gonna break it
Our love
Our love
I didn t have too much to offer
You didn t have much to expect
A cold hotel room full of trouble
Beside a blinkin traffic light
On all night
And there ain t nobody gonna break this
It s our love
There ain t nosody gonna take it
Not our love
Nobodys gonna take this
It s our love
Love
I know the feeling of being outside
Alone and watchin all the fun
The crowds together, laughin loudly
And long
But that type - they re never really strong
An there ain t nobody gonna take it
An there ain t nobody gonna take it
An there ain t nobody gonna take it
There ain t nobody whos gonna break it

Milkcow Blues Boogie

Well, I woke up this morning,
And I looked out the door.
I can tell that old milk cow
By the way she lowed.
Hold it fellows, that dont move me.
Lets get real, real gone for a change.
Well, I woke up this morning
And I looked out the door
I can tell that that old milk cow
I can tell the way she lowed.
Well, if youve seen my milk cow,
Please ride her on home.
I aint had no milk or butter
Since that cows been gone.
Well, I tried to treat you right,
Day by day.
Get out your little prayer book
Get down on your knees and pray.
For youre gonna need,
Youre gonna need your loving daddys help someday.
Well, then youre gonna be sorry
For treating me this way.
Well, believe me, dont that sun look good going down?
Well, believe me, dont that sun look good going down?
Well, dont that old moon look lonesome
When your babys not around.
Well, I tried everything to get along with you.
Im gonna tell you what Im going do.
Im gonna quit my crying, Im gonna leave you alone.
If you dont believe Im leaving, you can count the days im
Gone.
Im gonna leave.
Youre gonna need your loving daddys help someday.
Well, youre gonna be sorry
You treated me this way.

Not Too Young
When you looked at my face
You thought you could get me
You better look twice
It won't be that easy
Think it's because
You're a little older
All you'll get from me
Is my cold shoulder
You shouldn't judge
Someone by what you see
You may be wrong
Like you were about me
Chorus
I'm not too young
To know
The right things to do
And one of those things
Is not to fall for you
Don't play
Did ya hear me say?
I'm not gonna fall for you
So please just go away
Didn't work out
The way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Said you were the man
Now whatcha gonna do?
Since your pride is gone
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're crying all alone
Too bad you judged me
By first sight
It's too late now
So kiss this chance goodnight
Repeat Chorus
You say you want me
When you don't really know who I am
I don't wanna play no games
So catch me if you can
Didn't work out
The way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Said you were the man
Now whatcha gonna do
Since your pride is gone
Couldn't get this little girl
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're crying all alone
Repeat Chorus X2
So please just go away

Stand Alone
Somewhere there's a culprit lowin'
Hard rain is gonna fall
While old man Dillion laughs at our song
Now I'm feelin' all alone
And I'm cold and bare as stone
But it just doesn't matter
I can't stand it
Gonna die alone
Can't understand it anyhow
Was a time I felt like dyin'
Now I'm glad that time is gone
Cuz tonight we're gonna live forever on
And when I wrote this down
I was drinkin' all alone
But it just doesn't matter
I can't stand it
Gonna die alone
Can't understand it anyhow
Lookin' for a place I know
Ain't been there for so long
And I gotta back there

Gonna die alone
Can't understand it anyhow oh

Gonna die alone

Pursuit On 53rd Street
Tom johnston
On a cross-town bus in the city
I spied a lady all dressed in black
High heeled shoes and her dress cut loose
Her front was saggin out on the rack
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
Driver, wont you stop this crazy machine
And let my feet out and touch the ground
Got to lay me a line on the lady
Before she walks down the street too far
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck

Making A Good Thing Better
(peter wingfield)
Although I know our love is going strong
Little surprises kind of help it along
We mustnt let our lives become routine
Dont do anything we dont mean
There is no limit on love at all
It can always get better the deeper you fall
Im sure without that love we wont survive
So come on and show it; lets keep it alive
And well be making a good thing better
But with luck its gonna last forever
Youll see
Making a good thing better
Thats the way were gonna stay together
You and me
If were to make each other satisfied
Gotta keep on tryin; dont let it ride
It all comes over in the morning kiss
Dont do it like that; do it like this
Making a good thing better
But with luck its gonna last forever
Youll see
Making a good thing better
Thats the way were gonna stay together
You and me
Make it so much better
It is better better
Make it so much better
Make it better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Better better
Making a good thing better
But with luck its gonna last forever
Youll see
Making a good thing better
Thats the way were gonna stay together
You and me

Walk Over You
Out of my way Im running high
Take your chance with me and Ill give it a try
Aint no woman in the world I know
cause I aint looking for (an overflow? )
Oh baby I aint got much
Resistance to your touch
Take off the high heels, let down your hair
Paradise aint far from there
I wanna walk all over you
I wanna walk all over you
Do all the things you want me to, babe
I wanna walk all over you
Reflections on the bedroom wall
And there you thought youd see it all
Were rising for the life to see
Youre looking so good under me
Im gonna walk all over you
Im gonna walk all over you
Do all the things you want me to do to you
Im gonna walk all over you

So get off those ? ? ? ? , Im gonna steal the show

I Looked At You
i looked at you,
and saw the fugitive
in my mirror.
i looked at me,
and saw the child in you.
i looked at God,
and saw the stranger waiting.
i looked at the stranger,
and saw my brother in need.
i looked at freedom,
and saw the bars of the cell.
i looked at the bars,
and saw my spirit walk free.
i looked at anger,
and saw forgiveness waiting.
i looked at forgiveness,
and saw the hands of love.
i looked at my body,
and saw the bird leaving the nest.
i looked at the nest,
and saw a world made of straw.
i looked at today,
and saw the scars of yesterday.
i looked at yesterday,
and saw the dawning of tomorrow.
i looked at the seed,
and saw the plant in fullness.
i looked at fullness,
and saw emptiness the seed.
i looked at you...

Hard Lesson To Learn
I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
When I looked into your eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I hoped there would be
And its a hard lesson to learn my friend
A hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
times you gonna get burned
I took a chance on emotion
Washing my heart out to see
A single wave on the ocean
You feel so distant from me
And theres a shadow dark upon your smile
A sadness living in your eyes
Storm clouds rolling in an outofdaught
Guess I been living alive
And its a hard lesson to learn my friend
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
And its a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
But when I looked into your beautiful eyes
Still no reflection did I see
Of love light glowing within there
That I kind o hoped there would be
And its a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned

Not Gonna Be The One
(swirsky)
Here we are in a room full of broken hearts
Lovers once, but in the end we never really had a chance
You wanted to be free
Now that youre lonely
You want me back again
But Im not gonna be the one that you call
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision
Not gonna put my back to the wall
Not gonna take the fall for all the pain youve given
Me and you, we were a dream that never could come true
In time youll see that our love was never really meant to be
And if you discover
You need a lover
Someone to break your fall
But Im not gonna be the one that you call
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision
Not gonna put my back to the wall
Not gonna take the fall for all the pain youve given
You wanted to be free
Now that youre lonely
You want me at your arm
But Im not gonna be the one that you call
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision
Not gonna put my back to the wall
Not gonna take the fall for all the pain youve given

Dont Ya Tell Henry
Dont ya tell henry,
Apples got your fly.
I went down to the river on a saturday morn,
A-lookin around just to see whos born.
I found a little chicken down on his knees,
I went up and yelled to him,
Please, please, please!
He said, dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Apples got your fly.
I went down to the corner at a-half past ten,
Is lookin around, I wouldnt say when.
I looked down low, I looked above,
And who did I see but the one I love.
She said, dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Apples got your fly.
Now, I went down to the beanery at half past twelve,
A-lookin around just to see myself.
I spotted a horse and a donkey, too,
I looked for a cow and I saw me a few.
They said, dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Apples got your fly.
Now, I went down to the pumphouse the other night,
A-lookin around, it was outa sight.
I looked high and low for that big ol tree,
I did go upstairs but I didnt see nobody but me.
I said, dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,
Dont ya tell henry,

It'll Be Me
If you hear somebody knockin' on your door
If you see somebody crawlin' across the floor
Baby it'll be me, I'll be lookin' for you
And if you see somebody climbin' up a telegraph pole
If you find a new lump in your sugar bowl
Baby it'll be me, I'll be looking for you
I'm gonna look in the mountains
Down in the deep blue sea
I'm gonna look in the forest
And look and look in every tree
If you find a new bait on your fishin' hook
And if you find a funny face in your comic book
Baby it'll be me I'll be lookin' for you
(Spoken: Well, keep on lookin')
(Instrumental Break)
I'm gonna look in the cities
Where the lights are blue
Gonna search the country side
And the haystacks too
Well if you see something shootin' out across the stars
If you see a rocket ship in it's way to Mars
Baby it'll be me
Yeah I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
Well, I'll be lookin' for you
