Just One Of Those Days
Cold red sunsets that freeze the rainbows out
Standing here in the rain
Ive been thinking how, how much happier
I have been since you came
Staring down at the sidewalk shining
Satin winds floating down
Change the crystals on ladies faces
I think Ill stick around
Laden gutters, flowing over
Hit the streets and explode
Young girls laughing and make up streaming
Go running down the road
Ive been thinking and too much drinking
And things I just dont dare to say
Its still raining but whos complaining
Its just one of those days

Were Both Thinking Of Her
(george tobin/mark keefner)
You dont hear me talking to ya baby
Cant seem to get through
Are you wishing I was someone new?
You know I am your one and lonely
And things are changing fast
Got a feeling tonight could be our last
Youre running in the wrong direction
Im running out of time
Cause baby were both thinking of her tonight
Were both thinking of her
Were both thinking of her tonight
Whats she got that I aint got - shes got you
Aint it funny me and her were best friend
I remember those nights
Trading things about you til she got it right
Dont want to seem a little plastic
Help me where do I start
Deep in my mind I know whos on your heart
Youre running away with my best friend
Im running out of time
Cause baby were both thinking of her tonight
Were both thinking of her
Were both thinking of her tonight
Whats she got that I aint got - shes got you
Tell me something you know the words
Whats it gonna be
Baby tell me what you dont see in me

Sometimes I Dont Mind
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rain
Sometimes I dont mind the fun times
Sometimes theyre all the same
When Im thinking of you
Theres a fever around I dont know what to do
When Im drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the rest
Sometimes I dont mind a good time
Sometimes I do whats best
When Im thinking of you
Theres a feeling inside which is long overdue
When Im drinking to you
I get down in the mouth tell me what can I do
Sometimes I dont mind the sunshine
Sometimes I need the change
Sometimes I dont mind a fun time
To me its all the same
When Im thinking of you
Theres a fever around I dont know what to do
When Im drinking to you
I get down in my shoes in a waltz with the blues

Ladies Pay
All the sailors theyre all home from leave
And everybodys waiting for them to try to deceive
The storekeepers have drawn their lace curtains bare
And all the women and the wee young girls all waiting there
Oh, but how the ladies pay
Oh, if they only knew how the ladies pay
Yeah now, how the ladies pay
Oh, when the men theyve gone away
Nobody is standing on upon the door
And nobody is feeding any of the poor
The poor sick soldier lies in bed beside his girl
Thinking of another place on the other side of the world
Ah
How the ladies pay
Oh-oh, oh, how the ladies pay
When the men theyve gone away
Oh, I wish I knew how the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night
Night and day
Day and night
Day and night, night and day, ladies pay now
Night and day, day and night
How the ladies pay
Day and night, night and day
How the ladies pay
Day and night now
Night and day and now
How the pay now
Oh, how the pay now
Ladies pay, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay the way now
Ladies pay, ah, ladies pay
Ah, ladies pay
Night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay
Oh, night and day, night and day, night and day
Oh, how the ladies pay

Cant Change The World
People say that its impossible to fly
But you dont know what Im thinking
Dont want to be just like the other hundred guys
Yeah you dont know what Im thinking
Cant change the world?
Cant change the whole world?
You say its crumbling all around you
And youre trying to get out
People say that out of sight is out of mind
But you dont know what Im thinking
Dont want to listen to the ignorance and lies
Yeah you dont know what Im thinking
And isnt it ironic sometimes?
The things we take for granted are what we wanted
Before we knew why
And isnt it the reason we try?
To make the excuse that it wont go the right way
Before its gone wrong

Oh! Didnt I Say
Hollow
Faces staring through my window
Sometimes
I can play a boy you might know
Station
Standing cold and old Im insane
Gender
Is uncertain just like my name
The lemon kid is my friend
But even he dont know me well
Oh thats too bad
The waiter is an old man
Who looks at me so sly and strange
Whats on his mind
Oh didnt I say Im not one of you
Oh didnt I say Im not one of you
Queenie
From a doorway says you got time?
Panic
Not tonight if you dont mind
Oh no
My fear of streets I cover
Today
My room is home for hours
You can stay if you know your lines
But please take care
Ill suck your mind dry
Youll never guess
And you can never know me
Ill change if I begin to feel
Whats your name
Zero hero says Im no-one
He could be right but whos to know
Man from the sky
Oh well Im growing tired of this place
I think its time to change my face
You cant even try
Oh didnt I say Im not one of you
Oh didnt I say Im not one of you
Oh didnt I say Im not one of you
Oh didnt I say Im not one of you

There For You
When it all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you
Dont ask me how
I know its true
I get it now
I was there for you
I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you
I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But Im there for you
I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you
You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I cant repair
Making objects
Out of thoughts
Making more
By thinking not
Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine
Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
O mask of iron
I was there for you
Moods of glory
Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel
And death is old
But its always new
I freeze with fear
And Im there for you
I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you
I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done

Bottle Up & Explode!
Bottle up and explode over and over
Cos you react slower than slow
Put it away,check out for the day
In for a round of over exposure
The things mother nature provides
To get up and go
Bottle up and explode
Seeing stars surrounding you
Red white and blue
She looks at him like hes never known her
Its only been a year and half
Thinking that that was a matter of fact
Thinking that he was about to come over
Ive been standing up waiting for you
You never showed
Bottle up and explode all the outside signs of you

Running On Empty
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I dont know where Im running now, Im just running on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I dont know when that road turned onto the road Im on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I dont know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, thatll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I dont know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But Im running behind
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
Id love to stick around but Im running behind
You know I dont even know what Im hoping to find
Running into the sun but Im running behind

I walk the streets by day, I never know quite what to say
It doesnt matter anyway
Man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, whos the man
For years Ive lived inside my dreams
Somehow Ive made them real, it seems
I made my own rules, because I am a
Man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, whos the man
I can put on any face, you all know me, but its no disgrace

Whos the man of a 1000 faces, whos the man of a 1000 faces

Days Like These
The sun was shining
The sky was crying
It just tore apart
And down came the rain
And I was soaking
Yeah I was freezing
But I was feeling
No kind of pain
Come a fireball
I held it in my hand
You see before you
A man whos known greatness
I had a vision
A revelation
I took a look inside of me
And I am a sensation
Days like these I feel like I can change the world {repeat}
Its either easy
Or its impossible
And if you aint got it
You aint never gonna get it
But once you find it
You gotta grab it
Reach down your own throat
And yank it to the surface
That may be brutal
May be gory
But whatever else it is
Its my story
And I believe it
Yeah, I can see it
I sing it out, shout it out
Gimme death or glory
{chorus}
Days like these, days like these
I think Ill move a mountain or two
Days like these, days like these
Anything you want you know Ill get it for you
The sun was shining
I was crying
I saw a thousand people
Singing in the rain
And I was thinking
About the indians
And how they say true wisdom
Only comes from pain
Come a rumbling
Humbling feeling
Like things will never
Ever be the same
But what doesnt kill you
Only makes you stronger
Today Im strong enough
And anyway, I love the rain
{chorus}

Line Is Fine
Look at me Im so disgusting
I will never find another
Quite like you
You make me blue
With the things you do
Look at you youre so familiar
We could be so cool together
All the time
Could all be fine
Were on the line
The line is fine
Open up ma window
The line is fine
Standing on the ledge
Well I dont look down
Looking at the people
Well they all look fine
Its not just life or death
Yesterday we talked together
But tonight its just the weather
Chillin me
Whats the point in silly talking
We could get there quicker walking
Down the line
Could all be fine
But were on the line
The line is fine
Chorus
But staring at the faces
Standing in a row
Thinking of all the places
That they have yet to go/they dont know

Thinking Man's Blues
i was thinking about Jesus
i was thinking about robbing a bank
thinking about the band a playin'
while the Titanic sank
thinking 'bout salvation
thinking about getting free
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about generations
i was thinking about saving grace
i was thinking about truth and lies
thinking about flesh and lace
thinking about redemption
and rivers running to the sea
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
i was thinking about the Dharma
'bout Martin Luther King
thinking about Merle Haggard
thinking about James Dean
thinking about the costs of war
about moral depravity
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?
thinking and a wondering
do you ever think about me?

Boys
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Fresh out of school the young girl lose the sound
Shes gonna go where the young bands hang around
And its still to right with a voice inside
Shes screaming, dreaming
And theres no disguise when you look in her eyes shes scheming
Im thinking about the boys
Shes thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
There in the dark he starts to touch her hair
Others go round but right now you dont care
Well you just dont fight when theyre holding you tight
That feeling, feeling
Well it looks to good and hes making it so appealing
Im thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Still feeling ground as she goes to make the kill
Watching her move the world is standing still
Cos its still too right with a voice inside
You screaming, dreaming
And theres no disguise when you look in their eyes shes scheming
Im thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys

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

Get A Leg Up
Dont look at me dont touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead
Dont get no funny ideas about we
Or youll wish you were dead
Thats what I am thinking she must be thinking
The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night
She give me a look from the corner of her eye
That says, boy, keep acting right
How surprised was i
When she leaned over and whispered in my ear
Chorus:
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
Whats the matter
Are you shy, shy, shy?
Im pretty good with first impressions
But sometimes im not always right
I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road
To see what she had in mind
Want me to spend the night
Hey lover boy you know I will
And my best girlfriend lives down the road
Together we will thrill ya
And im thinking to myself
I could be lucky pierre tonight
Chorus:
If I could get a leg up
If I could get a leg over boy
You know I aint that handsome
But you know I aint shy, shy, shy
The rest of the night we went on and on
And the moral to this song
Dont go making hasty judgements
Because sometimes they could be wrong
Nothing wrong with a good time
Just keep yourself protected make a list
And you can bet your life that the women dont know
The little girls are acting like this
So the next time a young one moves up
And she whispers in your ear
Chorus:
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
Whats the matter
Now dont you be shy, shy, shy?
Get a leg up
Get a leg over boy
Get a leg up
Whats the matter
Now dont you be shy, shy, shy?

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
I am an american aquarium drinker
I assassin down the avenue
Im running out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?
Lets forget about the tongue-tied lightning
Lets undress just like cross-eyed strangers
This is not a joke so please stop smiling
What was I thinking when I said it didnt hurt?
I want to glide through those brown eyes dreaming
Take from the inside, lady gold on tight
You so right when you said I been drinking
What was I thinking when we said goodnight?
I want to hold you in the bible-black pre-dawn
Youre quite a quiet domino, bury me not
Take off your bandaid because I dont believe in touchdowns
What was I thinking when we said hello?
I always thought that if I held you tightly
Youd always love me like you did back then
Then I fell asleep & the city kept blinking
What was I thinking when I let you back in?
I am trying to break your heart
I am trying to break your heart
Used to be lying when I said it wasnt easy
I am trying to break your heart
Disposable dixie cup drinking
I assassin down the avenue
Im running out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I let go of you?

Where The Sidewalk Ends
Where the sidewalk ends
And the road begins
We said good bye
On a cold dark night
Im not afraid to go
You bet Im not
Where the sidewalk ends
You left a lot
Some people leave
And never come back
Some stay in touch
Some loose track
Your mind kept sayin
Come on lets go
You started learnin
What you dont need to know
Where the sidewalk ends
And the road begins
Ill wait for you
In the cold dark night
You might come back
You had to go
Where the sidewalk ends
Ill never know
Hide from the future
Run from the past
I guess Ill stay here
As long as I can last
Whistle still blowin
But the train is gone
Aint no wheels
Gonna take me from my home
Where the sidewalk ends
And the road begins
We said good bye
On a cold dark night
Im not afraid to go
You bet Im not
Where the sidewalk ends
You left a lot
Im not afraid to go
You bet Im not
Where the sidewalk ends
You left a lot
Where the sidewalk ends
And the road begins
We said good bye
On a cold dark night
Im not afraid to go
You bet Im not
Where the sidewalk ends
You left a lot
Where the sidewalk ends
You left a lot
Where the sidewalk ends
You left a lot

Mean Sleep
Written by: cree summer
What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence
Handfuls of hate and the bittersweet ambivalence
'cause i am pushing cobwebs and i'm folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep
How could the clouse tease us into thinking it might rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back to life
You could burn a thousand days
And i would need no other light
You could die a thousand ways
And i'd still love you back to life
But my needs rising angry and loneliness like quicksand
Who will find me under still mean sleep
How could the clouse tease us into thinking it might rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back to life
I am lost to the longing
I am moulded by my memory
Had shut down half my mind
Just to still the space you left behind
'cause i am pushing cobwebs and i'm folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep
How could the clouse tease us into thinking it might rain
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change
I had a mean sleep over you and it hurts coming back to life
