A Junkies Lament
Rickys been kicking the gong
Lickety split didnt take too long
A junkies sick
A monkeys strong
Thats whats wrong
Well, I guess hes been messing around downtown
So sad to see the man losing ground
Winding down behind closed doors
On all fours
Mama, dont you call him my name
He cant hear you anymore
And even if he seems the same to you
Thats a stranger to your door
Ask him whats he come here for
Oh my god, a monkey can move a man
Send him to hell
And home again
With an empty hand in the afternoon
Shooting for the moon
Its halfway sick
And its halfway stoned
Hed sure like to kick
But its too far gone
They wind him down with the methadone
Hes all on his own
But baby, dont you throw your love away
I hate to seem unkind
Its only that I understand the man
That the monkey can leave behind
I used to think he was a friend of mine

You Know Where You Went Wrong
(tennant/lowe)
---------------
Two men on the street
Drinking something cheap
No home, no family
Its cold, nowhere to sleep
Passers-by never catch their eye
Anywhere, one man drinks, the other swears
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
The old man cant understand
No one will shake his hand
I gave security, bombs and colour tv
It cost a few lives
Someones son always dies
No one shakes his hand
He dont understand
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong

This is the history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who dont understand whats going on anymore
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who dont understand whats going on anymore
(whats going on? )
Two girls have a photograph
One looks, the other laughs
He could have been mine
Why did I change my mind?
Then hands on hips
The other girl says: admit! admit!
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(aaaah) you know
You know where you went wrong

Daddys All Gone
Dont have much say
But I call you up anyway
Just to try and tell you the way
That I feel today
Oh I miss you baby
Sure Im on the road
I dont need to say much more
Im just the same old well known stranger
That I was before
Seems like yesterday now
Daddys all gone
Hes just halfway home
Hes holding on to the telephone
Saying please dont let the show go on
Theres a bus every other hour
Even a midnight train yeah
But that dont leave me the power to see your face again
Its not that simple anymore
Your see theres a room full of smiling faces
And theres a man standing by the door
Oh and he says its time we take our places
And get down on the floor
Oh Id like to kill him baby
Ah ah no now
Daddys all gone
Hes just halfway home
Hes holding on to the microphone
Singing please dont let the show go on

Shock The Monkey
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now Im on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know when youre going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I cant take any more
Darling, dont you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey
Wheels keep turning
Somethings burning
Dont like it but I guess Im learning
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey
Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life

You Dont Have To Be Old To Be Wise
Ive had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Lets get one thing straight
Ill choose my fate
And its got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and its time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
Im gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
No I dont care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now whos been had
The way things are going I wont get to show em
Go single all the times up to me
So its off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what its like to be free
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
Alright, Im gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then Ill ask for advice
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise

Whats Up
Dede oneal & left eye
(appears on vinyl promo and black history month sampler)
This track is very rare
How long do I let this thing go on
Before I run away
Not begging you to stay
But Id like it if you could
And youre knowin that you should
Be down with the one
Thats gonna love you baby
So stay and stop drivin me crazy
Chorus:
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
You see Im not tryin
To ride and pressure you
If its somethin you dont wanna do
But I got to let you know
Your position must be known
There aint no reason to front
So I guess I will be blunt
And just let you know that
Im walkin out the door
Unless you tell me right now
What youre gonna do with my love
Oh baby
Chorus
I dont know why
But Ive always tried
Why dont you lay down
Why dont you hang up your tie
Whats up baby
Whats up baby baby baby baby
Oh
Dont be afraid and dont
You fade on my escapade
Fantasy lives within the dream
That we have made
Callin me up 6 in the mornin
The break of dawn and
Before I could imagine that youd be gone and
I think about the times we share
Call it do or dare
Ask me if Im bein fair
Do you really care
See me and you like a holiday
Never too late to celebrate in a lot of ways
Whats up
We really dont need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more
Whats up
You really didnt need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more

Whats The Matter Baby?
Theres a shadow hanging over the valley
A total eclipse of the moon
Closing up the gates of the city
The wind it plays a wild tune
Dont you put a lock on your window
Dont you put the bar on your door
Dont you cry for the rain in the sky
Youve seen the storm before
Yea now whats the matter with you baby
Baby whats the matter now
Whats the matter your running in the shadows
Everytime you hear the wild man yell
Come on tell me whats the matter with you baby
Baby whats the matter now
Whats the matter your running in the shadows
Everytime you hear the wild man yell
-
Now lightnings going to strike at midnight
Thunder going to shake the ground
Dont you flinch dont give a inch
Just a let the flood come down
Come on tell me whats the matter with you baby
Baby whats the matter now
Whats the matter your running in the shadows
Everytime you hear the wild man yell
Come on tell me whats the matter with you baby
Baby whats the matter now
Whats the matter your running in the shadows
Everytime you here the wildman yell

Maybe Just Once
I cant believe
That what I feel
Is finally happening to me
Make it hurt
And point a finger
At my insecurites
Well I guess I just dont understand
About those complexities in your mind
And I guess I just dont understand
Why this world seems so unkind
Maybe
Maybe just one
I get just whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
So once again
The way you feel
Youll never ever stay the same
And Im to blame
I wonder just who made
The rules up for this game
Well I guess I just dont understand
About what you want and what you need
And I guess I just dont understand
About why this is how it has to be
Maybe
Maybe just one
I get just whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
So go around
You say those thousand things
You think you have to say
Look at me
And tell me loves not such
A hard word word anyway
Well how can you can count on me
I thought you realized for sure
And how can you just believe
I thought I deserved a little more
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming
Maybe
Maybe just once
I get whats coming to me
Oh god
Whats coming
Oh god
Whats coming to me

Ill be the one who brings you joy
Ill be your hope, Ill be your pearl
Ill take you halfway round the world!
Ill make you rich - Ill make you poor
Just dont use the door
Do it with me...

Pushing The Needle Too Far
Well I woke up this morning
Grey dawn
With a prayer on my breath
See I lost something precious
And godll save me
From losing myself
I said I think I know whats wrong
I think I know whats wrong
Now I met the queen and I understand why
Why she closed the door
Im not making excuses
But you know Ive been there a few times
You know I was
I was knocking on the door
I said I think I know whats wrong
I think I know whats wrong
Wrong wrong
Theres a man
He lived in a house
Had a family of five
Well he blew up the windows and the doors
He said I just couldnt
I just couldnt survive
Weve all been removed
In one way or another
We dont know our families
We dont need our brothers
Were pushing the needle too far
Pushing the needle too far
Well if you wake up in the morning
Grey dawn
Theres a prayer on your breath
See maybe you lost something precious
Godll save you
From losing yourself
I said I think I know whats wrong
Let me hear you
I think I know whats wrong
Theres queen who closed the door
The family that lies
People who turn
The cat that has died
A boy that ods
A girl with a gun
The world on its knees
And a band on the run
You know youd help me more
(the queen who closed the door)
By not giving in
(the family that lies)
You know youd help me more
(people who turn)
By not giving in
(and the cat that has died)
You know youd help me more
(a boy that ods)
By not giving in
(and a girl with a gun)
I said youd help me more
(the world on its knees)
Now dont you give in
(and a band on the run)
Ah now youd help me more
By not giving
I said dont you dare
(not giving in no)
Dont you dare
(not giving in no)
Dont you dare
Youd help me more
By not giving in
I said youd help me more
By not giving in
I said i

With A turn-around
If you wanna dance on the ceiling
If you wanna shake your money-maker now
If you wanna leave through the back door
Feeling fine but just cant take it anymore
If you wanna leave Im downtown
If you dont like sleaze Im downtown
Tell me what you need Im downtown
And everything will be ok hey hey!!!
If you wanna breathe in the background
If you wanna wait and see whats goin down
If you wanna soak in the sunshine
Call a cab and come and see me anytime
If you wanna leave Im downtown
If you dont like sleaze Im downtown
Tell me what you need Im downtown
And everything will be ok hey hey!!!
If you wanna go crazy
If youre dying to please
If youre low down and dirrrrty
Then come and get some of me
If you wanna leave Im downtown

Know that a monkey is on your back
There is a monkey on your back
At any point of time each one of us is carrying a monkey on the back.
Whether you like it or not your thoughts, words and deeds are determined by this very powerful monkey.
This monkey is nothing but a personification of the tasks either
assigned to you or taken up on your own.
The life line of the monkey is the strong desire that you nurse to
accomplish these tasks.
You may not know that you only feed this monkey and make it naughty.
They quality of your feed and its extent depend on your knowledge, attitude and earlier practices.
Often, wittingly or unwittingly we act only to get rid of the monkey.
Unfortunately, if one monkey goes the other is just taking its place.
And you think, talk and act accordingly.
Some wise people, are they really wise, pass on the monkey to some other’s back tactfully, so the monkey is rid off, but still alive. This is what
exactly happens in a work environment.
Know your monkeys and their feeds.
Fail not to feed them in time, as monkeys should be fed or shot to death. Otherwise, they will starve to death, forcing you to conduct postmortem.
Keep monkeys' population below the maximum number you can probably feed.
Feed monkeys only by appointment, otherwise you will be feeding them at odd hours.
Feed monkeys personally, if left to others, they may feed wrong and/or in unacceptable doses.
Each monkey is unique, hence its feed and frequency of feed differs.
No monkey stays long. They know when to leave you as once the monkey is satisfied with your hospitality it jumps off your back.
The new monkey on your back is the task to know whether monkeys are there or not on your back.

Kick It In
Love gives me poetry
Stays up all night and puts a curse on me
Oh anything you want
Turn around and Ill take you there
I know its going to be
Take your shackles off o me
This citys gone, Im gone over there
Kick it in, kick it in
Build it up and burn it down again
Kick it in, kick it in
Burn down to the ground
Kick it in, kick it in
Tell me about this place youve been
I dont want it theres a fever going around
Take a walk down town
See whats going on
If you want to find a hidden key
Theres nothing here on me
Any city, anywhere
Any colour I dont care
You belong to me
And thats the way its gonna be
Kick it in, kick it in
Yeah kick it in, kick it in
Raise it up and let it live again
Feel your body shake and take off
You can lie but keep it in
Keep me down here wondering
So whats it going to be
Come on in
I like the shape youre in
You keep me wondering, wondering, wondering
Eyes upon you black and brown
Spread your love all over town
Give me fire, body heat
Say hello to me
I want to go anywhere
Any colour I dont care
Dont believe in all you see
And dont get caught
Kick it in, kick it in
Tell me about this love youve been
Kick it in, kick it in
Turn this life around
Kick it in, kick it in
Shake the ghosts from deep within
Close the door down
Dont let the demons in
Kick it in, kick it in
I only want to be your friend
Put your hands in my hand
And take off with me
Listen baby, Im going home
Im going home
Im going home
Come on walk with me
Cause I know what I see
Kick it in
Kick it in, kick it in
Tell me bout the place youre in
Ive got a new gold dream
Im moving on, Im moving on
Youre moving on, youre moving on
Youre moving on, yeah
Kick it in, kick it in
Im moving on

Are you alone now
Did you lose the monkey
He gave you backaches
And now you slouch
He didnt mean it
Hes just a dumb ape
Reading playboy
On your couch
And now its time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, whats wrong
Its a radiation vibe Im groovin on
Dont it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on
I went to pittsburgh
And joined a pro team
Talk about a bad dream
I broke a knee
But I can still croon
And make the girls swoon
Isnt that the way lifes
Supposed to be
But now its time to say
What I forgot to say
Baby baby baby
Come on, whats wrong

Dont it make you want to get some sun
Shine on, shine on, shine on

Whats Up With That
Well how much blues do you use
Before you use it up
And how many fools take a chance
Before they hit it lucky
Tomorrows wanna be the day
It never seem to work that way
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Everybody want a little more
Than they think they got
But what you might think it is,
Might really not be, baby
Pick it up or leave it lay
It always seem to slip away
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Now how high will a river get
Before it overflows
And how long is the hole to china
It dont really know
This is what its all about
Theres always gonna be a doubt
Whats up with that
Whats up with that
Whats up with that

Chokehold
you did your time
you paid your dues
you only got back
what you used
you broke my heart
you tore it out
i didnt know
what it was all about
i find yourself
trapped in a well
i cant find a way
to escape this hell
its all your fault
you took the curve
you'll only get
what you deserve
this is the last time ill
say this to you
let me go
let me be free
im sick and tired
of all this misery
why cant i
for one day
maybe leave this town
or maybe run away
im sick of you
you hurt me so bad
and i was the only
one left sad
you left my heart
broke and cold
now you got me
in a deep chokehold
i'd always smile
when you'd call my phone
i didnt know
you would leave me alone
you came up to me
out of the blue
who wouldve thought
who wouldve knew
you always try
not to talk to me
you avoid me
so you dont have to see
i dont need you
not anymore
you walked away
and i shut the door
this is the last time ill
say this to you
let me go
let me be free
im sick and tired
of all this misery
why cant i
for one day
maybe leave this town
or maybe run away
im sick of you
you hurt me so bad
and i was the only
one left sad
you left my heart
broke and cold
now you got me
in a deep chokehold
something you dont know
is my love for you is so strong
and if you didnt know
its been building for so long
i dream about you
in my bed at night
and i wish you were with me
so i could hold you tight
i think of you
every minute of everyday
and i wanna be with you
in every single way
you live in my head
and i dont want you to go
this love for you i have
you will never know
why did you have to leave
why did you have to go
you left me with so many questions
the answers i didnt know
let me go
let me be free
im sick and tired
of all this misery
why cant i
for one day
maybe leave this town
or maybe run away
im sick of you
you hurt me so bad
and i was the only

you left my heart
broke and cold

Halfway To Heaven
Another day has come cant face it on my own
I almost let you walk away and I guess I should have known
Ill give it to you straight cause some things just cant wait
I ve got to make it up to you and Ill pray its not too late
cause when you look at me with those sad blue eyes
It stops me cold and I realize youre all I need tonight
Were halfway to heaven lyin beside you on a night so still
Were halway to heaven I ask you if youll stay and baby say you will
So whats a man to do to get it through to you
Another lost and lonely night would break this heart in two
So lets take a chance and itll be allright
Just put your trust in me toniht girl were almost there
Were halfway to heaven theres something magic bout the way you kiss
Were halfway to heaven runnin with you baby on a a night like this
Were halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high
Were halfway to heaven girl I couldnt leave you even if I tried
You got me captured in a crazy spin
You got me so I just cant tell the shape Im in
Were halfway to heaven theres something magic bout the way you kiss
Were halfway to heaven runnin with you baby on a a night like this
Were halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high
Were halfway to heaven girl I couldnt leave you even if I tried

And anything that george would do
You know that I would do it too
George liked music and george liked to fight
He worked out in a downtown gym every night
Id spar with him when work was done
We split lips but it was all in fun
Hey bro, whats the word
You talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
Talkin bout my friend george
Talkin bout my friend george
Next thing I hear georges got this stick
Hes using it for more than kicks
I seen him down at smalleys bar
He was wired up, I tried to calm him down
Avenge yourself he says to me
Avenge yourself for humanity
Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
Stick it to these guys right through their heads
Well, the fight is my music, the stick is my sword
And you know that I love you, so please dont say a word
Cant you hear the music playing, the anthem, its my call
And the last I seen of george was him
Running through the door, I says -
Hey bro, whats the word
Talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
You talkin bout my friend george
Talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
You talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
What me saying bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
Hear you talkin bout my friend george
Hey bro, whats the word
I hear talkin bout my friend george

Thats Not Me
Said she gave you everything
She broke her back to be
What you need
I tried so long to just complete
Cant take no more
Losin sight of me
Im lettin you know this cant go on this one way street
Im walkin alone
This time Im breakin free
Im goin to find me
I cant sit and be passive
Wont tolerate no more
Thats it
I tried so hard to be
What you wanted me to be
If it cant be 50/50
Then know that it dont fit me
I cant give you all thats in me
cause baby thats not me
Dont want you to think that Im selfish
Im just sick of your one track mess of you cant meet me
Halfway I think its time that you be on your way
I love you but I cant baby
If its yo mama you want
You know just what to do
I looked in the mirror
Everyday I saw myself
Fading away
You tryin to mold be into her
I loved you so
I put you first but I cant live my life this way
I cant sit and be passive
Wont tolerate no more
Thats it
I tried so hard to be
What you wanted me to be
If it cant be 50/50
Then know that it dont fit me
I cant give you all thats in me
cause baby thats not me
I was so lost in love before I couldnt see the light
But now Im strong enough to leave you now
So you better treat me right
Dont wanna throw it all away
So baby
Heres your last chance
Dont wanna fight with you
But I need more of you
Give me all
Or its the end
I crooked, I cleaned
I washed your clothes
You were so mean, so ungrateful at night
I cried so many times
Tell me how could you go diss me
When you know one day youll miss me
If it cant be 50/50
Then baby thats not me
I cant, I wont, I cant, wont
