Down & Out
Its good to be here! howve you been?
Check my bags, boy! wheres my room?
I sit on the phone, thats my game,
Keep up the pressure all the way!
I dont want to beat about the bush
But none of us are getting any younger.
Theres people out there who could take your place.
A more commercial view! a fresher face!
I need a shower, take a nap
Ill meet you in the bar, we must have a rap.
Theres a lot on the line, a lot to say.
Theres something I must tell you today.
You and I both know the score,
You cant go on like this forever.
So its with regret that I tell you now
That from this moment on,
Youre on your own!
I dont talk round corners, its right between the eyes
If youre slow theyll run past you,
Stand tall, see them falling over.
I walk a straight line, its right between the eyes.
Well show me the door, show me someone wholl do it better.
The drinks are on me, be my guest.
Smoke a cigar? take the best.
Dont hedge your bets, we can make a deal,
You got it in your pocket, how do you feel?
So glad thats over, now you know,
But Im only acting under orders.
And looking down on you from way up here.
Youve got to sink or swim, get off the floor!
I dont talk round corners, its right between the eyes
If youre slow theyll run past you,
Stand tall, see them falling over,
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.
Well show me the door, show me someone wholl do it better.

Dont Leave
Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
All severe, and not saying a word,
And Im sitting down here just watching you,
And Im thinking:
Where is all the love gone?
Wheres the love gone to?
Dont leave,
You got me hurting,
Dont leave
You know its never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, dont leave.
Hanging with friends like we used to do,
I didnt know anything was wrong,
And last night while I was thinking it through,
Trying to find who am I and what do you need me to do?
Dont leave.
Theres a record you used to play,
Theres joannie (as in mitchel? ? ) singing
best to be without you,
And I know just what shes singing for,
Where did all the love go?
Wheres the love gone to?
Dont leave.
You got me hurting,
Dont leave.
You know its never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, dont leave.
Where did all the love go?
Wheres the love gone to?
Dont leave.
Well fly around the world, give you what youre giving me,
I should have dressed you up in pearl,
Finest silk to touch your skin,
Dont know how to write a love song,
But dont leave.
You got me hurting,
Dont leave.
You know its never been easy to love someone like me,
Dont leave.
Dont leave.
Dont leave.
Dont leave.

Pressure
A funny thing happened yesterday
I felt the pressure in a brand new way
It kept hitting me from all directions
I got this feeling I was cracking up
My knees were shaking and I couldnt close my eyes
I fought to gain control and make corrections
A funny thing happened yesterday
I felt the pressure in a tv way.
Dont feel, dont feel
Feel pressure from me
Dont feel, dont feel
No pressure from me
Dont feel, dont feel
Feel pressure from me.
You watch the box and the video jocks
If you could talk that could even be you up there
Thats why you need max head room
Too much pressure for peace on earth
Too much tryin to get your moneys worth
Too much dying
The eldorado, the mercedes benz
The job security that never ends.
Dont feel, dont feel
Feel pressure from me
Dont feel, dont feel
No pressure from me
Dont feel, dont feel
Feel pressure from me
Dont feel, dont feel
No pressure from me.
I feel the pressure building every night
One of these days Im gonna go out like a light
Oh, baby
I feel the pressure building every night
One of these days Im gonna go out like a light.

Where's Your Head At?
Wheres your head at??
Wheres your head at??
Wheres your head at??
Dont let the walls
Cave in on you
We cant evolve alone
Without you
Dont let the walls
Cave in on you
We cant evolve alone
Without you
Dont let the walls
Cave in on you
You get what you give
That much is true
Dont let the walls
Cave in on you
You turned the world away
From you
Wheres your head at??
Wheres your head at??
Wheres your head at??
You have found yourself
Trapped in this
Incomprehensible maze
Wheres your head at??
Wheres your head at??
Dont make it easy on yourself
Wheres your head at??
Got to get

Got to get
Got to get
Wheres your head at??

So Good So Right
This one is special for all the ladies
You never know I was that type of man
So good so right so good so, so good so
right so good so
So good so right so good so, so good so
right so good so
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
But you keep on watching the time,
Wondering what's on my mind
So you say you can't stay too long, cause
You know what I'm all a...
What I'm all about, what I'm all about
I don't have to sing and shout, what I'm
All about
You know what I'm all about
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Yes it's the truth it's the fact, I'm coming
To you straight from
The back in a mastering room style
Don't be shy, don't you lie, look into my
Eye
I'll tell you why, I'll teach you about
Feeling high
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Never before have you seen this, so I say
This feeling sink within my head, oh yea,
Oh yea
Never before have you believe it, so I mean
What I say
You just got to be yourself
Feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
Yea, feel so good about something so
Right could it last another night
A feel so good about something so right
A feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
So good so right so good so, so good so
Right so good so
So good so right so good s, so good so
Right so good so
Yes it is the strife of my life, to explain
What's in my brain
If you believe what I say, baby, baby
A check in, check in, check check, check in
Check in
Check in, check in, check in, a check in,
Check in, check into my hotel
A feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
A feel so good about something so right
Could it last another night
So good, so right, so good, so right, so
Good, so right
So right, I feel so good could it last
Another night
A feel so right could it last another
Night
A feel so good something so right, so
Good
Lord, I said I feel so right
A feel so good, oh could it last another
Night
A feel so right, oh could it last another

Somethings Missing
Im not alone, I wish I was
cause than Id know, Im down because,
I couldnt find, a friend around
To love me like, they do right now.
They do right now.
A desert frown, the shopping malls
I search for joy, then plot it out.
And all is well, I cant complain.
It is just a game, its just a phase.
And I cant tell you just whats keeping me down.
Somethings missing,
And I dont know how to fix it.
Somethings missing,
And I dont know what it is, no I dont know what it is
I dont.
And autumn comes, it doesnt last.
It just walks in, with a bat to lash.
And you never know, when it starts
Until theres fog inside the glass around your summer heart
I cant put my finger on whats keeping me down.
Somethings missing,
And I dont know how to fix it.
Somethings missing,
And I dont know what it is, no I dont know what it is now.
I cant be sure that this state of mine, is not of my own desire
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.
For loneliness like this.
Somethings missing,
And I dont know how to fix it.
Somethings missing,
And I dont know what it is, no I dont know what it is.
Friends, check. money, check.
Guitar, check. happy home, check. microphone, check.
And I dont know what it is, no I dont know what it is
At all

They All Went To Mexico
Wheres my pal, wheres my friend
All good things must have an end
Sad things and nothings
On and on they go
I guess he went to mexico
Chorus:
They all went to mexico
Buenas dias, got to go
Tengo que obedecer
Mi corazon
They all went to mexico
Wheres my mule, wheres my dray
Straw hats packed up and gone
Away
Mule dont go north and dray go slow
They both went to mexico
Wheres my sweetie, wheres the face
That lit dark corners every place
She put up with me long time you know
And then she had to go to mexico
Chorus
Wheres my brown dog, wheres my hound
He liked my truck he hung around
But hes a canine romeo
And I guess he went to mexico
Wheres that woman so sweet, so mean
Her heart was cautious her mind was keen
She was always looking for the peccadillo
I hope she went to mexico
Chorus
Wheres decembers happy crew
With german bikes and sidecars too
They take the truck south to st. louis, mo
Motorcycle all the way to mexico
Wheres my luck, wheres my grace
Has it all been just a foolish chase
Every time I hear that rainy chill wind blow
I think it might be time to head to mexico

Wheres The Party
Working monday through friday
Takes up all of my time
If I can get to the weekend
Everything will work out just fine
Thats when I can go crazy
Thats when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby
Time to come undone
Chorus:
Wheres the party, I want to free my soul
Wheres the party, I want to lose control
Wheres the party, I want to free my soul
Wheres the party, I want to lose control
Couldnt wait to get older
Thought Id have so much fun
Guess Im one of the grown-ups
Now I have to get the job done
People give me the business
Im not living in fear
Im just living in chaos
Gotta get away from here
(chorus)
Intermediate:
Dont want to grow old too fast
Dont want to let the system get me down
Ive got to find a way to make the good times last
And if youll show me how, Im ready now
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
Im ready now
(repeat)
Wheres the party
Wheres the party, someone tell me
Wheres the party, come on, come on, come on
Wheres the party
(intermediate)
(chorus)
Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
Im ready now
(repeat)
Wheres the party
Wheres the party, someone tell me
Wheres the party, come on, come on, come on
Wheres the party
We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

Dont Look Away
Writers: leo sayer & tom snow
Well, she talks in her sleep
About the men that she meets
With so much passion
In the morning I ask
But she takes me to task
Says Im overreacting
Shes a woman, playing a womans game
When I ask her, she looks at me like Im strange
I say, dont look away, babe
When Im talking to you
Dont look away, babe
Itll do you no good
Im into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Dont look away babe
Dont look away, oh no
Well, she sits on the phone
Like shes here on her own
Making these calls to no one
Now she slides out a ten
Says shes seeing a friend
Shes got so much going on
Shes a woman, playing a womans game
When I ask her
She looks at me like Im strange
I say, dont look away, babe
When Im talking to you
Dont look away, babe
Itll do you no good
Im into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Dont look away babe
Dont look away, oh no
Well, I follow her down to some part of town
Where weve never been before
Theres a car in the drive, and a man sits inside
I gotta stop her, before she gets in
Shes a woman, playing a womans game
When I ask her
She looks at me like Im insane
I say, dont look away, babe
When Im talking to you
Dont look away, babe
Itll do you no good
Im into your game, babe
I been listening to you
Dont look away babe
Dont look away, oh no

Where Has The Love Gone?
Written: palmer, stapleton
Chorus:
Where has the love gone
(wheres the love, wheres the love? )
Where has the love gone
(wheres the love, wheres the love? )
Where has the love gone
(wheres the love, wheres the love? )
Where has the love gone
(wheres the love, wheres the love? )
1a:
Its not easy taking all responsibilities
Think its time that we should know
What we really need
If the love has gone then you dont want to stay
Then hey baby we can go our separate ways
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
1b:
I thought that love we had was
Oh so hard to break
But now I know that it was all give and no take
One sided love affair is
Oh no good to me
Im a woman and Ive got my vanity
Chorus:
2:
You might assume like everything was going fine
When there was really something
Deep inside your mind
Lets set it down then maybe we can work it out
Theres no need to raise our voices
Scream, or shout
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
Chorus:
Ohhh la la la la la
Ohhh la la la la la
Bridge:
Ive come to terms about the way you really feel
I know the love we have is no longer real
Chorus:
X6:
A love so strong (a love so strong)
Where did it go wrong (where did it go wrong)
Where has the love gone, a love so strong
Where did it go
Where did the love go?
Oooh, oh oh oh oh
Where did the love go
Where did the love go

Suitcases Don't Have Wings
Small bags big bags
Black bags white bags
Suitcases hey hey hey
For work and for play
Crammed full of things
Suitcases dont have wings
White bags black bags
Complete with one-way tags
Dragging us down
Ever closer to the ground
All the time they sing
Suitcases dont have wings
Big bags small bags
That behind us we drag
Past present and future
We cram so much in n' gotcha
We've been forgetting
suitcases dont have wings
All bags every bag
That we painfully drag
Drop them at jesus feet
Cause all ur needs he'll meet
Suitcases hey hey hey
They get in the way
Drop them if you want in
Suitcases dont have wings

Pressure pressure I got pressure, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Pressure pressure I got pressure, oh yeah
I dont really want to give it to you
cos its really contagious
You can pick it up anywhere
And it can be quite dangerous
You can spread it mouth to mouth
You can even get it when youre alone
But I can always live with it
Whenever I am close to you
Pressure pressure I got pressure, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Pressure pressure I got pressure
I get it driving in my motor car
I get it when Im drinking in a bar
I get it riding on the subway
I get it regular every day
And anyone who never had it yet
And doesnt know what Im going through
But I forget the pressure
When I am close to you
Altogether now-oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Pressure pressure I got pressure oh yeah. oh yeah. oh yeah
Pressure pressure feel the pressure
You got the pressure and thats a fact
I can tell by the way you act
And I can tell that youre pressurised
By the look thats in your eyes
I know the pressure cos Ive got it too
So I know what youre going through
But I forget the pressure
Whenever I am close to you

Hit The Fan
Why dont you tell me that its over
Why do you keep this hangin on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Say what you mean and see it done
Why dont you cut me loose, you dont need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
Theres nothin left you can say to please me
Youre just a dog whos had its day
You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold
You used to lead the dance and fumble
Howl in the night you could not sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap.

Dont Make Me Happy
You stare into the room, nothing there but space
No sign of any message gone without a trace
But I dont want your pity, if thats what you think
Ill take my comfort from this hole Im sinking in
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
Thats alright, I dont mind but dont try to be funny
Dont make me good
Dont make me mad
Dont make me fly
Dont make me happy
Its nice here in this room, you would like it, yes you would
Its got a bed, two chairs and a table, Id leave here if I could
Theres a man standing up whos down on his knees
Outside the cold wind sends a shiver through the trees
On the line, left behind, under pressure
Its so bad, leave me be, I dont want to get better
Dont make me good
Dont make me mad
Dont make me fly
Dont make me happy
I dont care what you think but think about this
It could have been somebody else, beware of what you wish
Now the door is closed, locked and sealed
And now you think you know how rejection feels
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
Thats alright, I dont mind but dont try to be funny
Dont make me good
Dont make me mad
Dont make me fly
Dont make me happy

I Dig Everything
Ive got the village I love - dig everything
I walk along beside the garbagemen and I dig everything - dig everything
I wave to the policemen, but they dont wave back
They dont dig anything - dig everything
Aint had a job for a year or more and I dont know a thing - dig everything
Everythings spent and I dig everything
Everythings spent and I dig everything
Dig
I feed the lions in trafalgar square and I dig everything - dig everything
Ive sit just behind my window, till my cigarettes were low and dug
Everything -dig everything
Got a backstreet room in the bad part of town and I dig everything - dig everything
Id see people in the street below, who dont know where theyre going
They dont dig anything - dig everything
Everythings spent and I dig everything
Everythings spent and I dig everything
Dig
Ive got more friends than I had out for dinners
Some of them were losers, but the rest of them are winners
Rick, john, sally, a connection named paul
Holy low on money, their intentions are tall
We smoke and talk in my room and we dig everything
Dig
Ive made myself at home -dig everything
Ive made good friends which the time-check girl on the end of the phone
All the movie shows - dig everything
I sunbathe for love - dig everything
Even when its not too hot - dig everything
cause I dig everything -dig everything

I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I feel it in work, you know, I feel it in bed
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I've paid all my bills and I've acted so well
Ain't been cheating, there's nothing to tell
So why all this pressure, I dont understand
I call on my neighbours, and lend them a hand
Doctor, oh doctor, I'm willing to learn
Well all of my bones, well they toss and they turn
Mother, oh mother, I'm begging you please
To rid me of madness and cure this disease
... (?) told you what I have become
With all of this pressure, my mind's on a run
... (?) changing, let's hope for the best
Maybe it's something to get off my chest
Doctor, oh doctor, I'm begging you please

Mother, oh mother, I'm willing to learn
Well all of my bones, well they toss and they turn
