Night In The Wilderness
I could he sitting on the left of you.
Youd be looking straight ahead.
If I was adrift right across from you,
You still would cut me dead.
Ive had better deep discussions
With this plate of soft-shelled crab.
Id put some spice in your rice.
Youd give me blues in the stew.
Id give you catfish jumping.
Youd give me all this work to do.
Whos got the cheque on this hot dinner?
Whos got the tabs on the crab?
Another night in the wilderness:
Should have been a night on the town.
Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down.
Im in splendid isolation, feel that heavy silence fall.
Got all this cut out for me to do.
Another night in the wilderness of you.
Here I am drinking you with my eyes.
Youre looking at the gravy on my bib.
I go weak-kneed at the suggestion of you.
Whats wrong with the cut of my jib?
Is there a lobster in the offing, or just a fifty dollar cheque?

Lyin Eyes
I can tell, just by the look
In your eyes, that the love is gone, that I once took
So much has changed in the way you live
I bet theres nothing left that you can ever give
The words of a madman are spoken
I guess Im not the only one
The heart of a sadman is broken
Eyes, lyin eyes
You can fool anyone without disguise
Eyes, lyin eyes
Your look is cold as ice
Its in your blood, it floats in your veins
I sacrify myself but all I feel is pain
Youve done me wrong, youve been so bad
But its the last time a battle is lost
Where Im the one whos sad
The words of a...
Eyes, lyin eyes...
I wish youd die, I wish youd break down and cry
I wish youd move and then I know Id be satisfied
Cant you see Im on the edge, I cant look down
Is it me whos lost and never found

Living The Blues
Since youve been gone,
Ive been walking around
With my head bowed down to my shoes.
Ive been living the blues
Evry night without you.
I dont have to go far
To know where you are,
Strangers all give me the news.
Ive been living the blues
Evry night without you.
I think that its best,
I soon get some rest
And forget my pride.
But I cant deny
This feeling that i
Carry for you deep down inside.
If you see me this way,
Youd come back and youd stay,
Oh, how could you refuse.
Ive been living the blues
Evry night without you.

If You Belonged To Me
Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone elses clothes
Youre always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose
You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
You say lets go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall
Sometimes it seems to me youve
Got no sympathy at all
You keep on going on and on about how youre so free
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
It aint easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day
Youre saying that youre all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you never figured out
How long you have to live
You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddys knee
Oh how happy you would be
If you belonged to me
The guy your with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose
You look so sad, youre going so mad, any fool can see
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me
Youd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

Its amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all
Its unnerving
How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell
Im not saying there wasnt nothing wrong
I just didnt think youd ever get tired of me
Im now saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didnt wanna let it get away from me
But if thats how its gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then well see whos sorry now
If thats how its gonna stand, when
You know youve been depending on
The one youre leaving now
The one youre leaving out
Its aggravating
How you threw me on and you tore me out
How your good intentions turn to doubt
The way you needed time to sort it out
Im not saying there wasnt nothing wrong
I just didnt think youd ever get tired of me
Im now saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didnt wanna let it get away from me
But if thats how its gonna leave

Then well see whos sorry now
If thats how its gonna stand, when
You know youve been depending on
The one youre leaving now
The one youre leaving out
Tell me is that how its going to end
When you know youve been depending on
The one youre leaving now
And the one youre leaving out
The one youre leaving now
The one youre leaving out

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Youd better watch out, youd better not cry,
Youd better not pout, Im telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.
Hes making a list, hes checking it twice,
Hes gonna find out whos naughty and nice.
Santa claus is coming to town.
He sees you when you are sleeping;
He knows when youre awake.
He knows if youve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake.
Youd better watch out, youd better not cry,
Youd better not pout, Im telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town.

One More Night
No jacket required, 1985
One more night, one more night
Ive been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see
Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I cant wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I cant wait forever
Ive been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe youre not alone
Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
I know therell never be a time youll ever feel the same
And I know its only words
But if you change your mind you know that Ill be here
And maybe we both can learn
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I cant wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I cant wait forever

One Night
Released on cd single have I told you lately, 1993
Mike reid, troy seals
Call me a fool
Send me away
Ive got to say
Its you I adore
Alone and in love
Falling apart
I followed my heart
Straight to your door
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If youd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream you never had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
Call me baby
Standing this close
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Am I so worng
To think ( )
cause baby youre all
Youre all Im thinking of
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If youd give to me
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
To make every dream youve ever had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you
One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that I was born
One night with you
In all honesty
Just one night
To lay in your arms
Just one, just one night, thats all I want baby
Oh yeah

Thats How I Feel
(released as b-side of hang in long enough cd single, 1990)
Well Ive been waiting so long
Ive been waiting so patiently
Out of the blue you call
Youre leaving him to be with me now
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
He doesnt treat you good
He doesnt say the things that I say
So when he turns around
Youre gonna stab him in the back and then walk away
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Youve been away too long
And now youre coming home
But I wont believe it until
Im holding you tight, tight, tight tonight
Now maybe Im right, or maybe Im wrong
Oh, I gotta know now
Ill take what you got, so youd better hold on
Youd better believe it
Cos thats how I feel when Im in your arms
Thats how I feel when Im with you
You make me feel like never before
Thats how I feel when Im with you
Thats how I feel when Im in your arms

Big Tears
Everyone is busy with the regular routine
The sniper just takes his aim
Everyone is window shopping, no one is amazed
Even if he hit you, youd still think its just a graze
You go to a movie, you go to a show
You think that youre living, you dont really know
Big tears mean nothing
You can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing
When youre lying in your coffin
Tell me whos been taken in
Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause
But of course they make it all up for you
Always fascinated by the weird edge of town
Come home disappointed every time they put you down
Laughing with the old boys, saying that its all noise
I suppose big tears mean nothing
You can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing
When youre lying in your coffin
Tell me whos been taken in
All the buttons of my overcoat
They have fallen off one by one
You wouldnt even like me if youd never had a drink
You wouldnt even like me if you never stopped to think
Standing in the shadow, turning wives to widows
Dont you know big tears mean nothing
You can count them as they fall
Big tears mean nothing
When youre lying in your coffin
Tell me whos been taken in
Tell me, me or yous been taken in
Tell me, tell me, tell me

Dont Stop The Night
Here is today , Im feelin blue
Its saturday night , Im waiting for you
You said youd come round at eight-thirtyfour
With some other guy , you pass by my door
I thought you were good , I felt you were real
A special kind of girl
So I walk down the street , into the town
Im followin you and ya new love around
You said to go back to where I belong
That she didnt care and I was so wrong
Forever I know I will never let go
till shes mine , m-i-i-ine
Baby , believe what you like , dont stop the night
Baby , believe what you like , dont stop the night
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Make up my mind , Im gonna be strong
Dont wanna look sad if she comes along
She may be with him but Ill play along
Ive waited all year , the night is so young
Love is like a miracle , a distant shining light
So many days I would hope and pray
She was mine , m-i-i-ine
Baby , believe what you like , dont stop the night
Baby , believe what you like , dont stop the night
Baby , you said youd never go
And now , you dont wanna know
Baby , you know just what you found
Someone whos only hangin round
Baby , believe what you like , dont stop the night
Baby , believe what you want , dont stop the night
Baby , I know that you dont , youd never leave
Baby , I know .... (fade out)

Glad To See You
Written by dan peek, 1974
Found on holiday.
Bells ring in in my ear
Voices I hear
Whispering daily to me
Love in your fire
High on a wire
When I know youre near me
God, Im glad to see you
I thought youd left me far away
I wouldnt give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way
All over the world
Flags are being unfurled
Waving before the dawning
Im watching the show
The last one to know
Which way that things are going
God, Im glad to know you
I thought youd left me far away
I wouldnt give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way
Cars fighting their way
Out of l.a.
On a sunday morning
Im watching the show
The last one to know
Which way that things are going
God, Im glad to see you
I thought youd left me far away
I wouldnt give much to be you
But I want you to know I feel this way
God, Im glad to know you

Say You
My heart, your hands, gentle my friend
Break me neatly, numb me sweetly
Say you would, say you could
Say youd come and stop the rain
Say youd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Say you would, say you could
And you dont do anything
Come down heavy, try and steady
Precious ladies, love you, love me...
::chorus::
Hold my head up to the lies that you feed me
Ill fall under the spell you cast as you let me down
Say you would, say you could
Say youd come and stop the rain
Say youd try and hold me tight
And you just give me away
Make me high on lullabies
A melody for me to sway
Make me high on lullabies a melody for me to sway

Whos Sorry Now
You can feel the bodies aching
You can feel the spirit waisting
But its someone elses children
And its someone elses problem in the end
You just go about your business
Youve got bigger fish frying
Someday you might be a witness
Someday you may wake up crying like I cry
Whats the problem?
Theres no problem in your own little world
Whats the bother?
Cant be bothered
til your own little world goes to hell,
Then you can tell
We are all in this together
We are all in this together
We got to pull together
And we cant worry whos sorry now
Whos sorry now,
Now that everything is clear
Whos sorry now,
Sorrow unspoken here
Please take a bow
You got so many distractions
You got old friends to satisfy
Youre afraid of the reaction
If the others should find out, youd falsify
Maybe this could never happen
Maybe God is on your side
Tell yourself what I tell myself
That its justice when somebody else must die
Its a hard life
Such a hard life, its a hard little world
Some are winners, some are losers
Here in our little world
But youd sell out, beg, borrow, steal,
Move mountains, if it was your own
It was your own
When its your own pretty baby
Theres no method in the madness
We all cant escape the sadness
Dont surround your heart with hardness
You may someday need someone to sympathize
Before youre crushed by your own selfishness
You must confess
Are you feeling sorry?
Sorrow spoken here
Whos sorry now

Silver Dollar
I shouldve known you couldnt take it
You had to make it with another man
You know thats true baby
And I can play that game if you can
Its been a long time since Ive come here
To give you what you need
My roots are in chicago
But I know where I want to plant my seed
I bet a silver dollar youd love another
And you know that silver dollar, it would make me rich
Girl like you, easy pitch
But I miss you now youre gone
Im coming home girl just to show you
Whats this mans been living for
A tip for you, dont be surprised baby
When I come busting through that door
I bet a silver dollar youd love another
And even though that silver dollar would make me rich
I want to tell you that there is a hitch
I miss you know youre gone

If Youd Ever Needed Someone
Stop right there and listen,
Before you say something you might regret
I know somethings missing
But I cant begin to accept what you said
Maybe, you can show me
Exactly where Im goin wrong
Cos lately Ive been thinking
Maybe Ive been round here too long
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me lo let her go
If youd ever needed someone
One way or another
Whatever I do it seems you criticize
Is there any wonder
The hurt that I feel is so thinly disguised
I cant help but notice
Little things that tell me so much
Is it only a matter of time
Before Im missing your tender touch?
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me to let her go
If youd ever needed someone
If youd put yourself in my place
You could never say whats gone is gone
If youd ever needed someone

Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand

Talkin fast
Makin sure that he wont be the last

No Crab
Whether it's Crab soup,
or whether it's crab cakes,
whether it's crab puffs
or whether it's crab flakes
crab gumbo or crab dressing,

for crab is crab is crab

Hand In Hand
The sky is crying the streets are full of tears
Rain come down wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh I can read between the lines
Rain come down forgive this dirty town
Rain come down and give this dirty town
A drink of water a drink of wine
If I been hard on you I never chose to be
I never wanted no one else
I tried my best to be somebody youd be close to
Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to
As youd sleep Id think my heart would break in two
Id kiss your cheek Id stop myself from waking you
But in the dark youd speak my name
Youd say baby whats wrong ?
Oh ? here I am baby Im coming back for more
Im like a wave thats got to roll into the shore
Yes and if my loves in vain how come my love is so strong ?
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
And you keep your perfect distance and its tearing at my heart
Did you never feel the distance
You never tried to cross no line
Now its another dirty river and another dirty scar
And I dont know whos kissing you and I dont know where you are
So far from home dont you thing of me sometime
Sky is crying see the streets are full of tears
Rain coming down to wash away my fears
And all this writing on the wall
Oh I can read between the lines
