... & In Every Home
You turn to the sinister when you get the boot
Sliding down the banister in your sunday suit
Lying on a slag heap of blankets and magazines
Shes only thirty-five going on seventeen
Youd better roll over and go to sleep if you dont come clean
And in every home there will be lots of time
I will be all yours you might have been admired
(and in every home there will be lots of time)
They say theyre very sorry but you are not desired
Oh heaven preserve us
Oh heaven preserve us
Oh heaven preserve us
Because they dont deserve us
Holding your life in your hand
With an artificial limp wrist
And so a young blade becomes a has-been
Looking for a new twist
A year after the wedding he broke all their china plates
Hes in prison now shes running with his mates
Sees him every sunday
And he asks her where shes been
Shes only thirty-five going on seventeen
Shes going to cop a packet if he ever finds her
In between the sheets
(chorus)

Lets Go
Shes driving away with the dim lights on
Shes making a play and she cant go wrong
She never waits too long
Shes winding them down on her clock machine
And she wont give up cause shes seventeen
Shes a frozen fire
Shes my one desire
Chorus
And I dont want to hold her down
Dont want to break her crown
When she says, lets go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, lets go
Shes laughing inside cause they cant refuse
Shes so beautiful now, she doesnt wear her shoes
She doesnt like to choose
Shes got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said shes holding out
Shes a frozen fire
Shes my one desire

She Is Electric
Shes electric
Shes in a family full of eccentrics
She done things I never expected
And I need more time
Shes got a sister
And God only knows how Ive missed her
On the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time
And I want you to know
Ive got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what Im saying?
But I need more ....
Coz Ill be you and youll be me
Theres lots and lots for us to see
Theres lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?
Shes got a brother
We dont get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me
Shes got a cousin
In fact shes got bout a dozen
Shes got one in the oven
But its nothing to do with me
And I want you to know
Ive got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what Im saying?
But I need more ....
Coz Ill be you and youll be me
Theres lots and lots for us to see
Theres lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?

Now Shes Gone
Written by gerry beckley, 1977
Found on harbor.
Please believe in me
Though my love is hard to see
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Ill remain (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But these tears (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I cant contain (shes gone, shes gone)
So can I count on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to count on you
Smile away these blues
I dont care if Im accused
Now shes gone (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
I dont mind (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
But, I got a feelin (shes gone, shes gone, shes gone)
Its all designed (shes gone, shes gone)
To make me call on you to be my light to guide me
Right through the night beside me
Is it all right to call on you

When Shes Gone
She has a light and a faith that wont die.
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.
She has a pretty young daughter back home
Wholl soon start to cry when shes gone.
When shes gone. when shes gone. when shes gone.
Now she spends her days with a mission to live.
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when shes gone.
When shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.
(smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when well all finally meet.
She often says that she lives in a world well never know.
We hope we never know.
We sit together and talk about our faith.
We play a game where well sing all our troubles away.
Though shes glad to be with me,
She knows darm well that her next life awaits when shes gone.
Oh, when shes gone.
When shes gone.
When shes gone, shes gone. shes gone.
Shes gone away. shes gone away.
Shes gone. shes gone. when shes gone.
Oh, no. (when shes gone)
Oh, shes gone.
I know shes gone. (when shes gone)

Let Her Fly
Theres a wreath on the door
She dont live here no more
As of today, she flew home
And we all gathered here
In sorrow and tears
It wont be the same with her gone
Theres a place on the hill
Thats peaceful and still
Where shell sleep beside daddy again
The ole family tree is shedding its leaves
But well all met in heaven again
Chorus:
Oh, shes an angel
Let her fly, let her fly
Shes gone home to glory
To her home in the sky
When God sees her comin
Heavens choir will smile
And sing, oh shes an angel, let her fly, let her fly
Ooh, shes an angel, let her fly
She used to rock me when I was a child
Sing rock of ages and in the sweet bye and bye
Her life wasnt easy, oh but how hard she tried
You know shes an angel, lord, so let her fly
Repeat chorus

Let her fly
Ooh shes an angel, let her fly

Youd bring home the groceries

A hundred-fifty dollars from the bank

Youd bring me some flowers
You came home with nothing
You dirty rat fink
I thought you said youd
Clean up the living room
You said youd do the dishes in the sink
Im sick and tired of your childish behavior
Youre always coming home completely soused
Im sick and tired of this shoebox apartment
When are you going to buy me a house?
Shes bitchin again

Shes bitchin again drivin me crazy
Shes bitchin again

Looks That Kill
Now listen up
Shes razor sharp
If she dont get her way
Shell slice you apart
Now shes cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you dont get her game
You might not make it back
(pre-chorus)
Shes got the looks that kill
That kill
Shes got the looks that kill
That kill
(chorus)
Shes got the looks that kill
Now shes bullet-proof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
Shes a number thirteen
The church strikes midnight
Shes lookin louder and louder
Shes gonna turn on your juice, boy
So she turns on the power

Steady As She Goes
(don cook/ronnie dunn/kix brooks)
Tonight I came home late again
She didnt ask me where Ive been
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door
She looked at me and said goodbye
I did my best to change her mind
But she dont want to hear it anymore
Shes steady as she goes
Now shes not crying
If I said it didnt hurt
Id be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But shes rock steady as she goes
It tears me up to watch her go
But deep inside my heart I know
Leaveing is the only choice she has
I guess she finally got the nerve to give me just what I deserve
Shes had enough and she aint looking back
Shes steady as she goes
Now shes not crying
If I said it didnt hurt
Id be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But shes rock steady as she goes

Half The Man
Shes every reason I take so much work on
And every reason I take so much time at home
And every single reason why Im so much stronger
And every reason I could never be alone
Look at me, youll see who Ive found
Im beside myself whenever shes around
Without her, youd see a different man
Its what she makes of me, shes half the man I am
When the rivers all run dry, she finds the water
And when everything is dark, she finds the light
And when its time to fly, shes flying with me
With her on the wing, we balance out just right

Im what shes made of me, shes half the man I am

No Name Girl
I got a girl that aint got no home
She aint very fat just skin and bones
She dont cast no shadow because shes so thin
Never knows where she going but she knows were shes been
She never knows where she going but she knows were shes been
The girl I love aint got no name
But I love her just the same
Shes a little peculiar but it aint no sin
She never know where she going but know were shes been
She never knows where she going but she knows were shes been
Never know where she going but she knows were shes been
Instrumental:
Shes six feet tall and got long black hair
Runs around in her sack dress but I dont care

She never know where she going but know were shes been
She never know where she going but know were shes been

The girl I love aint got no name

Shes a little peculiar but it aint no sin

Shes Tight
Words and music by rick nielsen
When Im down I make a call.
Got the number written on the wall.
First its busy then I try again.
Oh, whos she talking to, could it be him?
I got the number and it starts to ring.
I get excited and I start to dream.
I start to fantasize of memory lane.
Then she answers and she says right way.
She says Im home on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
I have something got to say to you.
Amnesia and my train of thought.
On the tip, tip of my tongue.
I had a vision when I was young.
You floated in, we floated up.
Through the window and down the hall.
I had a smoke and went upstairs.
Turned the door and opened the key. she spoke...
Im on my own, home all alone.
So I got off the phone.
(shes tight.) shes ahead of her time.
(shes tight.) shes one of a kind.
(shes tight.) shes a talented girl.
(shes tight.) shes got her head down tight.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the go.
(shes tight.) shes giving me the high sign.
(shes tight.) well turn off the lights.
(shes tight.) pull down the shades.
(shes nice, shes tight.) turn on the camra.
(shes nice, shes tight.) and getting ready for action.
Turn off the radio.
Turn on the video.

Shes A Baby
Well Im so blue
Im thinking about you
Im feeling so blue
Im feeling so sad
I just dont understand
Im feeling so sad
And in the midnight
I don t turn off the light
Until the daylight
Well I toss and I turn
And my heart it still burns
til I see her again
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my haby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now
In the morning I wake
To go get food on my plate
But I just cant eat
And when I go in the cafe
To sit down at my seat
I dont have egg on my face
When it stops and it starts
It just tears me apart
Like a pain in my heart
But its been misunderstood
Somebodys breaking the rules
And Im nobodys fool
Well, well, well
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now
When its so high
I can reach for the sky
But when its so low
I got nowhere to go
When it goes wrong
I just dont belong
When it goes right
Its clean out of sight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Im feeling so glad
Im on top of the world
When I see you again
Well its so true
I been thinking about you
Baby youre my flame
When it goes down
Down on the ground
When it goes down
But when it goes up
It just fills up my cup
When it goes up
Well, well, well
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now

Rare, Precious & Gone
Cry baby boy, not tears of joy
The one you held is no longer your toy
Shes got her new boots and her make up on
You can call her your friend
But not your lover again
Shes made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
So what are you doing holding on?
Dont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
She was soft in your hands, now shes shattered your plans
Im sympathetic but youve got to understand
You tried to squeeze her somewhere
She just dont belong
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
As long as there were stars in the night sky shed be near
Even angels get it wrong!
Wont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Its a subtle trap
Seeding guilt in her mind
But she aint taking your crap
This time
Boy youre out on a line...
Shes a queen among women, a child among queens
The finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
Shes a rose without a thorn
Shes a peach, shes a prize
A gift in disguise
Shes graceful and colourful and when she grows
Shell be wise
But most of all my friend, shes gone
Gone, gone gone!
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Rare, precious and shes gone
Yes, shes rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Gone, gone gone...

Out Of Sync
Shes out of sync
And everyone around her
Knows that something is wrong
Shes out of sync
Shes got all the symptoms
Of a girl who skipped a beat
Shes out of sync
A piece of ancient history
Shes a walking mirage
Shes out of sync
She entered through the exit
And never stopped to think
Shes out of sync shes a half step behind
Shes out of luck her body split from her mind
Shes out of orbit shell never connect
Shell run out of time before she accepts shes out of sync
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync ---- (sync)
Shes out of sync
And everybody senses
Theres a distance to keep
Shes out of sync
And totally committed
To living in a dark age
Shes out of sync
Shes constantly undoing
Whats already been done
Shes out of sync
Trapped in a silent movie
And shes on the brink
Shes out of focus
Shes a warp in time
Shes discontinued
A break in the line

Not So Usual
This is the most unusual story, of a most unusual girl
she's the paint in my picture, of a most unusual world
she can crawl out the frame while shes hanging on the wall
and shes calling my name
shes not so usual, wo
shes most unusual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes mostly a ghost, the way she watches over me
she complains when I smoke, but then you do the same to me
shes controlling my brain activity, knowing when i go to sleep
she'll catch you when I'm falling hard
shes so unusual
shes not so usual
shes not so usual
shes so unusual
shes not so hooked on the drugs like I thought that she was
and never sucking on the lime, and hardly sipping on the wine
and dispite of her bipolar rollercoastering
I think I can trust, she'll keep me singing differently
and its fine cause shes with me now, most all of the time
trying to saving my life, thinking none of her own
and always kissing me goodnight when i just need to be alone
shes so sweet, so discrete, shes exactly what I need
not even make believe
shes not so usual
so unusual
shes not so usual
so unusual
not so usual, and not to practical either
but shes not so mystical, but not to magical either
but shes not so outta control, and not so used to the flow
shes not so usual

Shes only here for the fun
And who will move over
Sweet talker choosin her side
And its then, its all over
She just along for the ride

Bet shell roll her life away
One town is just like another
One man will just never do
Dont turn around
When she calls out your name
Shes gonna break you in two
But shes a roller

Miss you babe

Shes everywhere I go
Shes everything I know
And now I think shes finally
Touched my soul
Shes heaven here on earth
Much more than I deserve
And I dont wanna ever let her go
Im getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups and all her downs
Shes every move that I make
Shes every breath I take
Shes got a hold on me
That I dont wanna break
I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl cant wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl my girl
My friends keep coming round
Saying come out on the town
Whats wrong, you aint the guy
We used to know
And I tell them I say
Without her by my side
Im only half alive
I love her so bad
And I dont care if it shows
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, cant wait for you to see
My girl, my girl, my girl
At last my heart has found a home
This time I know where I belong
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me

Shes Got Rhythm
Last night I went out disco dancing
Saw a foxy girl out on the floor
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
She came to my table, we both ordered something to drink (something to drink)
Before you know it, what do you think
The music started playin
Oo the music got us so excited
And we had to get up on our feet
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need
The place was near closing, I offered to take her home (take her home)
But she was with someone and left me alone
But I still remember
Oo I know I never will forget her
And I hope I get to see her again.
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
Shes got rhythm, shes got something I need (never will forget her)
