Two Fingers
Ill see you at the weighing-in,
When your lifes sum-totals made
And you set your wealth in godly deeds
Against the sins youve laid.
And you place your final burden
On your hard-pressed next of kin:
Send the chamber-pot back down the line
To be filled up again.
And the hard-headed miracle worker
Who bathes his hands in blood,
Will welcome you to the final nod ---
And cover you with mud.
And hell say, ''you really should make the deal,
As he offers round the hat.
''youd better lick two fingers clean ---
Hell thank you all for that.
As you slip on the greasy platform,
And you land upon your back,
You make a wish and you wipe your nose upon the railway track.
While the high-strung locomotive,
With furnace burning bright,
Lumbers on --- you wave goodbye ---
And the sparks fade into night.
And as you join the good ship earth,
And you mingle with the dust ---
Youd better leave your underpants
With someone you can trust.
And when the old man with the telescope
Cuts the final strand ---
Youd better lick two fingers clean,
Before you shake his hand.

Lick Your Fingers Clean
Lick your Ill see you at the weighing in
When your lifes sum-totals made.
And you set your wealth in godly deeds
Against the sins youve laid.
So place your final burden
On your hard-pressed next of kin:
Send the chamber pot back down the line
To be filled up again.
Take your mind off your election
And try to get it straight.
And dont pretend perfection ---
Youll be crucified too late.
And hell say you really should make the deal
As he offers round the hat.
Well, youd better lick your fingers clean, I thank you all for that.
And as you join the good ship earth
And you mingle with the dust
Be sure to leave your underpants
With someone you can trust.
And the hard-headed social worker who bathes his hands in blood
Will welcome you with arms held high
And cover you with mud.
And hell say you really should make the deal
As he offers round the hat.
Well, youd better lick your fingers clean, I thank you all for that.

Better Watch Your Back
Oh, living the life of a madmans wife, has got to be unreal
cause shes got to hold on to ground control
While jack does what he feels
Well he stays away, and then he comes home
And he never knows where hes been
Jack blasts downtown then hes over the line,
And then hes a kid again
Jack said its hard living in a dream, and its hard
Always giving in to me
*his wife saw jack in a crowd of boys and he was talking against
The man
She saw the guys getting dangerous eyes, and she knew it
Was never or then
So she ran on back an d said to jack jack, jack I wouldnt do that,
If youre gonna continue to give your opinion, youd better
Watch your back
Oh, jack said youd better watch your back
Said youd better watch your back
Said youd better watch your back
*said youd better watch your back, oh, jack
Had knock down dream, then he saw the man.
And thought hed save the day
Jack gave roar, made for the door, hed go to church and pray
Say jackie, religion and you, aint mixed well in the past
Remember when you smashed your fist on the eucharist,
Threw up in high mass?
Its hard always giving in to me
* repeat*
Oh, jack youd better watch your back, oh, jack, oh jack,
Oh, jack........

It Aint Easy
You make it all sound easy
Now youve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That youd found another man
But its hard to see
What you want from me
Its not easy to be in-between
Its now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
cause it aint what youve got
In the palm of your hand
And its not what youll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday mornings waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Dont keep the pages clean
Baby, now youve got this chance
Dont leave me out
Its so hard when
Youre in-between
What you need and
What may never be
It aint easy ...

Walk The Dust
I find youre on my back again
Cause your husbands weighing you down
And you say you find it hard to cope
Feel like leaving and not going home
Sister I thought you were stronger than me
But I guess youve lost the way
And I see your confusion oh so clear
Yet you love him more each day
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed
Youre still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
I guess that its too soon to tell
But I wish that youd wake up
Cause somehow you still believe in him
And you give him all your love
Seven months already gone
Do you feel youve let yourself down
And all I can do is sit and watch
Watch him change your mind
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed
Youre still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
Take my hand theres still time
Take my hand theres still time
My head is filled with words to say
But I only find them slip away
I know its hard to let it go
Take my hand
Take my hand theres still time
Sister take my hand theres still time
I know its hard to let it go
I know its hard to let it go
Take my hand

Welcome To Hell
Come on in, son, have a seat
Don't mind the screams, Don't mind the heat
It's been like this 'round here for a long, long time.
We haven't had the chance to meet
But i've heard about you on TV
And i think we're gonna get along just fine.
i can't help but notice, you look somewhat surprised.
Did ya think son, after what you've done, The Lord would let you slide?
[Chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
i hope for your sake you're the kind
That can stand to burnburn 'till the end of time
'Cause that's exactly what you're gonna do.
There's some lots left on the lake of fire
Where we send your kind to retire
And i picked out a nice little hot spot just for you.
I got one last thing to tell ya
And let me make this clear
I don't know what you've been told, But there ain't no virgins here
[Chorus]
Welcome to Hell, your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell, boy
Welcome to Hell, end of the line
Your final sin, got you in
And now your ass is mine
Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell, boy
You're gonna love it

For Someone Special
Tiran porter
Well, I thought youd be back on the track
But I guess I was wrong, man
For the look in your eyes was the same
Empty high that youd shown
As I ran down the road Id forgotten this load was upon you
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
Its been years since I cried
But this feeling inside really hurt me
And you know that were loyal
Through the years of hard toil we stood by
But our licks gotten better
I thought you could weather the good times
So I guess that its hard to leave
Bad times and downers behind
So it came down to sayin
You havent been playin for so long
That our heads caked with rust
And the dust of a million sad sighs
In the mornings Ive tried
To reach down inside
And push that nightmare away
Now Im glad that its over, its over
Now I can play

Slow Down
Written by dan peek, 1977
Found on harbor.
I hear you knockin but you cant come in
You wear your stockings like you think its a sin
Dont try to tell me you aint been where you been
cause I know that youve been messin round with him
So slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Come on down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Oh down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
I met you dancin at the high school gym
You rubbed against me my head started to spin
You turned around gave me a wink and a grin
And then you told me that youd like to be friends
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont slow down
Before it gets too late
Before it gets too late
Take it!
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
On down
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Dont try to tell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)
Youll never sell me
(bop shoo wop, youd better slow down)

You know before it gets too late

Theres Always Goodbye
(richards)
Ever since that first night
When I gave my love to you
Everything seemed so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
Theres always goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But theres nothing to be said
And if you said you want to sing
I know youd soon be on your way
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
Theres always goodbye
So here we stand, you and i
You are too kind and Im too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we played
Chorus
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
Theres always goodbye
Theres always goodbye

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)

More Fool Me
Here am i
Who while away the mornings
Since youve gone
Too long have I lay alone
Not knowing which way to turn.
And there you are
Quite sure that you were right
Knowing full well
That Id be the first one
To go down.
And youd be the one who was laughing
Except when things werent going your way
And then the lady would say that shed had enough
Wandering around on her own.
The day you left
Well I think you knew youd not be back
Well at least it would seem that way
Because you never said goodbye.
But when it comes round to you and me
Im sure it will work out alright.
And youd be the one who was laughing
And giving me something I dont need
And you know, Id always hold you and keep you warm
Oh! more fool me.
Ah, but when it comes
Round to you and me
I ask myself
Do I really believe
In your love.
Yes, Im sure it will work out alright.

Rudy
Rudys on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He dont wanna get there, but he needs time
He aint sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
He needs time - he needs time for livin,
He needs time - for someone just to see him.
He aint haid no lovin
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole worlds above him.
Well its not as though hes fat-
No theres more to this than that-
See he tries to play it cool-
Wouldnt be nobody fool.
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come too late.
All through your life, all through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared.
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I cant hold back the tears
How can you live without love, its not fair?
Someone said give but I just didnt dare.
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearings alright for them thats all there
Youd better gain control now
Youd better showem all now
Youd better make or break now
Youd better give and take now
Youll have to push and shove now
Youll have to find some love now
Youd better gain control now.
Now hes just come out the movie.
Numb of all the pain,
Sad but in a while hell soon be
Back on his train...

Dont Fall In Love With A Dreamer
Just look at you sitting there
You never looked better than tonight
And itd be so easy to tell you Id stay
Like Ive done so many times
I was so sure this would be the night
Youd close the door
And wanna stay with me
And itd be so easy
To tell you Id wait
Like Ive done so many times
Dont fall in love with a dreamer
Because hell always take you in
Just when you think
Youve really changed him
Hell leave you again
Dont fall in love with a dreamer
Because hell break you every time
So put out the light and just hold on
Before we say goodbye
Now its morning
And the phone rings and ya say
You gotta get your things together
You just gotta leave
Before you change your mind
And you know
What I was thinking Id turn around
If youd just ask me one more time
Dont fall in love with a dreamer
Because hell always take you in
Just when you think
Youve really changed him
Hell leave you again

Where Are You Now When I Need You?
Hey johnny, where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
Just one word come straight from your heart
Makes me feel so glad!
Death and disease walz together like starlets in this place
I sure would like to see your honest face
Hey eddie, where are you now when I miss you?
Now when I miss you like hell?
If you were here I know youd make me
Believe again in myself!
You dont owe me nothing
Im not calling you away
So please dont feel accused when I say
Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
My heads almost exploding
And the tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe I need you?
But I do!
Hey you, where are you now when I dream about you
In nightmares every night?
You were on a big wheel high above me
Almost out of my sight
And just as I wake you shout down something that sounds like
Why are you not free?
But by the time Im dressed
Youre just a memory
Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
When my heads almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe I need you?
But I do!
Hey mama, where are you now I hurt for you?
I hurt for you so hard?
If you heard this song, I know you youd come straight for me
Youd come somehow, no matter how far
Theres a hundred things that I want to say to you
And they come rushing through my head
But when we meet like we always do, we leave the best things unsaid
And my god! isnt that lonely?
Thats lonely as hell
To know the truth always but to be too scared to tell
Where are you now when I need you?
Now when I need you so bad?
When my hearts almost exploding
And this tension drives me mad
And maybe you wonder
Do I really believe I need you?
But I do!

Before All Hell Breaks Loose
(kinky friedman)
Time to resign from the human race
Wipe those tears from your lovely face
Baby, wave to the man in the ol red caboose
Before all hell breaks loose.
Before you go I wish youd come
Before you leave wish youd love me some.
Ill give you all of the dreams you can use
Before all hell breaks loose.
All right!
Now I know what the gypsy meant
When he told me Id never be president.
He said, adopt a korean, kill you a moose
Before all hell breaks loose.
You poked fun at my cowboy shoes,
You said they looked just like big canoes.
Now its time for the chosen ones to choose
Before all hell breaks loose.
Turn out the lights, honey, turn on the news
God save the queen and the kangaroos
And what kind of rubbers did joseph use
Before all hell broke loose.
Time to resign from the human race,
Wipe those tears from your lovely face.
Baby, wave to the man in the ol red caboose
Before all hell breaks loose.
Hell on america!

One final letter
This my final letter.
A letter of the end.
A letter that says goodbye.
A letter with answers.
Im sorry, relly i am.
Dont be mad or sad.
I couldnt cope with it.
Couldnt live life.
I had to get off the bumpy ride.
My life was over long ago.
Abused attacked used and raped.
Evil laughter all around me.
A sound that never goes.
Theres your answer
If you really care.
Let me go now
dont cry for me
Dont grieve for long
in the wake of my suicide.
Im so so so sorry
but this is the final goodbye.
I couldnt leave without an explination
I had to give you the reasons why.
Now the razors deep in my arm.
The pills are swallowed deep in side.
The blood is pouring from me.
Now im dead and cold
Stiff and limb.
I had to go
I just had to go
I didnt want to go
What else was I to do?
My very last
And final goodbye
Im gone now
No longer a lifes burden.
Please dont cry for long
Im gone
Im gone
GONE
Its the final good bye

The Final Cut
Hell awaits & heaven won’t take me
I am in between planes
the final cut has been made
blood ooze out but I can’t feel the pain.
My bloodeth blood stops the time; for
Lucifer to arrive
elated, trying to take me to hell.
He says oh! Well
how you’ve become so heavy.
This is the miracle of the soul in slain,
he askth whose soul is in refrain.
It’s my very own Lucifer I said,
You are willing to give your life
for a cause he asked
Your son, the evil trying to impart and enter this world
thru a noble soul,
I have heeded to save this and devastate
and make your son’s play
A foul.
My blood oozes out from this cut
Save your son or save me
I know you would like to keep my soul.
Lend me thy hand to see this
this manifestation done by evil
I know you love thy son; but
as this is the final cut

While I Cry
They told me what youd do
If I ever stayed with you.
They told me that youd laugh
While I cried.
They told me what youd say
That youd turn and walk away
And find another place to play,
While I cried.
Now I think back on those times
I didnt read between the lines.
How all the things that you said
Never seemed to match the things you did.
Thoughts keep turning round in my mind
Now I see reason and rhyme.
Time spent with you has brought me something
And Ive lost nothing if you are that kind.
They told me what youd do
If I ever stayed with you
And sure enough,
It all came true.
