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

Ladys Baby

Ladys baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues.
(ladys/babys? ) mother cooks my meals,
Warm and cool is really real...
Runnin never was much fun -
All it did was bring me down.
Chasin round isnt where its at.
Tension puts you in the ground.
Ladys baby pulls my hair,
Lets me know hes really there.
(ladys/babys? ) mother touches me,
And at last I really see...
Runnin never was much fun -
All it did was bring me down.
Chasin round isnt where its at.
Tension puts you in the ground.
Ladys baby lets me know
Life was meant for movin slow.
(ladys/babys? ) mother knows this too.
Lady, I love you.

Starstruck

If Im high on a hill
She will still be looking down at me
What does she see
That brings her closer every day to my heart
If Im away from home
And think Im all alone
Shes there, somewhere
I look around to see
And looking back at me
Shes there, beware
Creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before
And I know it can mean that
* the ladys starstruck shes nothing but bad luck
The ladys starstruck running after me
The ladys starstruck shes nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah
I could fly to the moon
But shed soon find a way to be there
I never knew for a while
That a smile made em really care
She wants a souvenir
To everyone its clear
Shes hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, cause I see
Shes creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that
*
I used to be a game
Now I cant repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse her call
She wants a souvenir
To everyone its clear
Shes hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, cause I see
Shes creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that
* x 2
And back of a tree
Im looking back at me
Blind and off my state
Ive just got to beware
The ladys starstruck
Yes, shes bad luck, bad luck

Sweet Lady Luck

(coverdale/vandenberg)
You hold all the aces,
I never get the chance to deal
Flick of the wrist and you cut me down,
Im spinning like a roulette wheel
You say that loves a gamble
But, you play with loaded dice
You hide behind a good girl smile
With a heart stone cold as ice
But, I want it, I need it
If you dont give it Ill steal it,
Ill take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you,
Sweet lady luck...
You cant stop your dealing
cos its a crying shame,
When the winner takes it all
And never ever takes the blame
But I want it, I need it
If you dont give it Ill steal it,
Ill take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you
Uh, what you gonna do?
Lady luck
I need your love, I need it now,
Ive got to have it anyhow,
Sweet lady luck...
I cant win for losing,
Its tearing me apart
So Ill play the joker to your queen of broken hearts
But, I want it, I need it,
If you dont give it Ill steal it
Ill take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Spinning like a roulette wheel, sweet lady luck
Youre a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
I need your love, I need it now,
Ive got to have it anyhow
Sweet lady luck..
Sweet lady luck..
Sweet lady luck..
Lady luck!

Lady Luck

Theres a woman in new orleans
Said to love me she was born
But that was friday payday
By sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turn ou she came from...well
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Well I had no luck with women
Thought Id try my hand at cards
So I headed for nevada
Gonna really take them on
But the way the hands were fallin
And the way the money goes
You could say its getting colder
You could say I nearly froze
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
So I started playing guitar
In a southern boogie band
And the ladies I was meeting
Make you want to buy the farm
Gettin tired of saving souvenirs
Dont remind me where theyre from
And the nights come on like magic
In the morning its all gone
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on

One Way Or Another

Theres been some
Changes in my time
But this ones playing
Games with my mind
Stopped in my tracks
No thought of looking back
The ladys got me tied up
But Ive already made my mind up
One way or another
Shell be mine
It wasnt anything I could define
None of those ringing bells
Giving me a sign
I just took a look
But I was on the hook
The ladys got me tied up
Dont know how its gonna wind up
One way or another
Gonna be all right
Im beginning to think
That a forever kind of love
Is the kind of love
Ill look for forever
But still Ill love and love again
One way or another
I will find my friend
I knew some day my heart
Would lead my head
Beyond the path
My chosen life had led
Id been so sure
But where is the cure
The ladys got me real good
But you cant say
What I should do
One way or another
Its all over now
One way or another

Lady Luck

Seven-eleven he rolled,
And all his life was a golden gamble.
Youd see him reeling it in when the odds were high.
Something supernatural, a charlatan, a mastermind,
Or some lucky ladys design.
Oh, what the devil, its fun,
His lady luck was his one companion,
And by the silver and gold,
His heart had been bought and bound.
But he chanced to fall in new love,
He kissed her and he cut the tie,
And kissed his lucky lady goodbye.
Oh, spin your wheel of fortune.
Shuffle the cards, blow on the dice.
Are you with me in love,
Like youve been with me in life?
If I leave you for a lover,
Would you leave me far behind?
You shouldve known from the start,
Shed take no part in a love triangle.
You have to be hers alone,
And go it on your own.
cause if youve found a new love,
Lady luck is gonna step aside.
So kiss your lucky lady goodbye.
(instrumental)
Spin your wheel of fortune.
Shuffle the cards, blow on the dice.
Are you with me in love,
Like youve been with me in life?
If I leave you for an hour,
Would you leave me far behind?
Seven-eleven he rolled,
And all his life was a golden gamble.
Youd see him reeling it in when the odds were high.
Something supernatural, a charlatan, was a mastermind,
Or some lucky ladys,
Or some jealous lady,
Kiss your lucky lady goodbye.
Dont pass this way again, goodbye.
Dont pass this way again, goodbye.
(repeat to fade)

Better Luck Next Time

Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
Gray is for betrayal
What you did to me
White is for the blinding light
That I know Ill never see, know Ill never see
Found you in the gutter
You needed tenderness
I gave you everything I had
I gave you all my trust
Handed out so neatly
Caught me in your trap
When I needed you the most
You stab me in the back, stab me in the back
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once therell never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else, youre never gonna be mine
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to me face
How do you find the nerve
Black is for the nighttime
Preys upon the day
Red is for the blood that flows like rivers in our veins
I try and find excuses
For what you did to me
Cant forget that burning rage
When I wake up thinking of your face
For the blinding swiftness of revenge
That I know Ill never see, know Ill never see
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
If you do it once therell never be a second time
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time
Find somebody else, youre never gonna be mine
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
How do you find the nerve
To lie right to me face
How did you find the nerve
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)
Better luck, better luck, better luck next time (better luck, better luck)

With A Little Luck

With a little luck, we can help it out.
We can make this whole damn thing work out.
With a little love, we can lay it down.
Cant you feel the town exploding?
There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The wiliow turns his back on inclement weather;
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you,
And a little luck, we can clear it up.
We can bring it in for a landing,
With a little luck, we can turn it on.
There can be no misunderstanding.
There is no end to what we can do together.
There is no end, there is no end.
The willow turns his back on inclement weather;
We can do it, just me and you.
With a little push, we could set it off.
We can send it rocketing skywards.
With a little love, we could shake it up.
Dont you feel the comet exploding?
With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck.
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck.

Some guys have all the luck all the luck
What you gonna do when your luck begins to run
Such a lucky dog it's good luck - push it
I get turned on by everything you do to me
Don't say you shouldn't do that
Push your hard luck hard push it
Oh, to take a kiss from lady luck tonight
Oh yeah I want to so much
Ooh the way it feels when you find out

Girl the way it feels when you get it
Some guys have all the luck

I get to hear you talk, see you walk
Ooh take me in your arms and let your luck

I touch you - alright
I thought my luck had held until you fingered me
We make a right impression when you hold me tight
Wait for a break, my lucky charm
Things are looking up alright - alright
Oh - to taste the lips of lady luck tonight
Oh yeah - I want to - so much
Ooh the it it feels when you find out

Girl the way you squeal when you get it

Ooh take me in your kitchen and we'll play

Natural Thing

Tom johnston
People outside my window
Goin everywhere
People that are happy
People without a care
We all got to be loved
Its a natral thing dont you know
The sooner we find what we need
Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
Im gonna change my method
Get me a big ham bone
Gonna make all the leaders of the country
Get it together and bring it on home
We all got to be loved
Its a natral thing dont you know
The sooner we find what we need
Gonna be feeling it, happy to show
Those men in the circus
Those men on the wire
Their feet hangin fifty feet up
Know theyre countin on their daily luck
To bring them through the fire

Dannys Song

People smile and tell me Im a lucky one
Weve just begun
I think Im gonna have a son
And he will be like he and me as free as a dove
Conceived in love
The sun is gonna shine above
Even though we aint got money
Well Im so in love with you honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be all right
Love a boy who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up
Love him and hell bring you luck
And if you find he helps your mind
Sister take him home
Dont you live alone
Try to earn what lovers own
Even though we aint got money
Well Im so in love with you honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be all right
And even though we aint got money
Well Im so in love with you honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise
You bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be all right

Writer

I'm the writer got a front page cover
Hot gossip 'bout who's with their latest lover
I write all chapters by the second scene
I call the shots, don't need a fleet street team
I am a writer and i'm the news
You cross me you know you're gonna lose
I'll do the story if you're dead or alive
If seconds out or if you're gonna take a dive
Slip out the news or a piece of scandal
Don't toe the line, 'cause nothing's too hot to handle
I am the writer and i'm the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Yeah you're gonna lose
[instrumental]
I am a writer and i am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
And where you are it's because of me
'cause overnight you know it don't come free
I'll put you up there or i'll bring you down
'cause nothing moves without me in this town
I am a writer and i am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Boy you're gonna lose i said you're gonna lose
I write the news i am the news
Got to, got to lose
Oh yeah you're gonna lose
So don't step on my blue suede shoes...

Lady Luck

Lady Luck
Here I am on time
Proppin' up the bar
with a glass of wine
Friday night
and I'm all spruced up and fine
I ain't goin' nowhere
Lady Luck
Why don't you pull up a chair
And bring your shine right wisdom
Darlin' over here
Your Gaelic humor
And your pious smile
All the cats'll be laugin' tonight
Now you may say it's a funny old world
You may say that the game ain't fair
Is there a plot or do you improvise
Or maybe you don't even care
Lady Luck
Ain't you the fickle kind
Why are some folks lucky
While the rest are tryin'
You keep on playin'
It's still a mystery
You're laced with a touch
of inconsistancy
So why don't you give us all a break
Make us all rich healthy and fine
Five months holidays and a four hour week
And a horse that wins all the time
Lady Luck
Hear the mandolins
Kind of makes you wonder
How it might have been
There go all
The funny place I've got
Back on the street again
Lady Luck
Yeah, it's late I know
Allow me to buy you one more folderol
And tell me something
I've been longin' to hear
It's gotta get better next year
'Cause I've seen some rainy days
My wedding suits are frayed and torn
But now the sun comes shining through
I've cried in my beer too long
Lady Luck, Lady Luck
Don't push me over
When I can't stand up, oh yeah
Sure it's a funny old world
Sure it's a funny old world

Showdown

Its gonna happen
Before too long
Its gettin hard to tell
Whos right and whos wrong
I can see it comin
So I gotta be strong
Theres gonna be a showdown
Theres gonna be
Changes in this town
Were gonna see a showdown
A times gonna come
In the future when
A whole lotta people
Gonna think again
Were gonna keep right on
Till you break and then
Do you want to be out of touch
Only you can decide
For something different
Youre out of luck
cause on we will ride
On were gonna ride
Ride on, oh, ride on
Come on
The music explodes
Like a gun in your hand
Were gonna give you more
Than your head can stand
Then well sit down
And talk man to man
Theres gonna be a showdown
Were gonna see
Changes in this town
Were gonna see a showdown
Showdown ...

My Luck Wont Change

Refrain:
The cances you gave me,
A definite maybe,
But luck shes a lady,stayed
She played for me.
Theres gold in the mountain,
Good fortune for countin,
Three coins in the fountain,
And my luck wont change,
Take dust from the coalmine,
Make dust from the goldmine,
King midas youre sidelined,
And my luck wont change no my luck remains.
Chorus:
No point in shouting,
Whoever there was doudting,
Im at the top of the mountain,
And my luck wont change.
The stock market read it,
The rumours they spread it,
And I meant it when I said it,
That my luck wont change,
No my luck remains.
That old lover lost me,
She spent and she cost me,
My new love has taught me,
That my luck wont change.
(my luck wont change-my luck remains)
Refrain:
The offer she made me,
Was more than just maybe,
But luck whos a lady stayed,
She played for me.
Repeat 1st verse
Chorus:
My temperatures rising,
No point in disguising,
The phoenix is arising,
And my luck wont change-no it just remains.
My luck,my luck wont change.

Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where youre lying
When you make your own bed
Youll never end up in the red
So watch your step, one step ahead
Intro:
Energy up!
Bring the energy up!
On the double
Verse 1:
Steppin on toes is a common routine

You may as well be dead
Gotta go for it - gotta go for it
Always gotta be one step ahead
So -
Chorus:
Dont calm down
Bring the energy up
Dont depend on lady luck
Cant walk - you just run instead
If you want to be one step ahead
Verse 2:
Look over your shoulder
And predict whats to come
Youre not feeling life if youre simply numb
So dont be dumb - grab the brass ring
You really cant depend on anything
Gotta make it happen all by yourself
Why rely on anyone else?
So-
Chorus
Dont calm down
Bring the energy up
Dont depend on lady luck
Cant walk - why not run instead?
If you wanna be one step, one step ahead

This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me up all night - oh
Its not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think Ill get it?

Its not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think Ill get it?
With the way Im burning
I just might!

Huh!

Kingsport Town

The winter wind is blowin strong
My hands've got no gloves
I wish to myself that I could see
The gal I'm thinkin of
Oh do you remember me babe
I remember you quite well
You caused me to leave old kingsport town
With the high sheriff on my trail
High sheriff on my trail boys
High sheriff on my trail
All because I'd fallen for
A curly headed dark-eyed gal
Who's a-gonna stroke your coal-black hair
An sing to your coloured skin
Who's a-gonna kiss your memphis lips
When I'm not in the wings
When I'm not in the wings babe
When I'm not in the wings
Who's a-gonna kiss your memphis mouth
When I'm not in the wings
Who's a-gonna walk you side-by-side
And tell you everythings alright
Who's a-gonna sing to you all day long
And not just in the night
Who's a-gonna walk you side-by-side
Who's a-gonna be your man
Who's a-gonna look you straight in the eye
And hold your bad-luck hand
Hold your bad-luck hand babe
Hold your bad-luck hand
Who's a-gonna hold your hard-luck hand
And who's a-gonna be your man
The winter wind is blowin strong
My hands've got no gloves
I wish to myself that I could see
The gal I'm thinkin of

Bring It Home

You can make it better in this world of sin
Wanna make it better, wrapped in arms of silk
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
So you wanna feel better, in your crazy heads
Learn to breath the air, drown away despair
You wanna swim oceans, and feel the sun
You wanna get closer to the one you love
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
Who's gonna bring it back
Who's gonna bring it back, bring it home
Who's gonna send it back
Who's gonna send it back, bring it home
So you wanna feel better, in this world of sin
Wanna watch the sunset turn from gold to pink
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
So you wanna feel better, cause it still hurts
Find yourself the answer, someone you can trust
You wanna climb mountains and reach the stars
You wanna lie next to the face you know
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
Who's gonna bring it back
Who's gonna bring it back, bring it home
Who's gonna send it back
Who's gonna send it back, bring it home
Bring it home, bring it home, bring it home
Bring it home
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
