Set Me Up
Well a thing was said to me
Times your enemy
It may heal a wound, but it wont hide a scar
And the only thing to do
Is to yourself be true
cause a head thats in the clouds wont see the stars
When I was young I never walked away
Id nail my colours to the wall
Though black and white soon turned to shades of grey
There is one thing that I really know for sure
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
Theres a bitterness in you
cause all you ever do
Is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor
But you gotta make your luck
Before your time is up
And they take you in your box out through the door
But Im not saying I dont care at all
Id rescue you before you drown
But if behind my back they start to talk
Im a tougher kind of man this time around
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
When you look back and see what you have done
Well was it really that much fun
To laugh and kick the fallen ones
Gonna grow another skin
This ones getting thin
Ive been bitten twice but never lost my nerve
Well you gotta hide the hurt
When people dish the dirt
cause if you dont try nothing thats what you deserve
There are people with their eyes of green
Smiling when you take a fall
Maybe a friend or someone never seen
But even with my back against the wall
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
People said to me
Times your enemy
It may heal a wound, but it wont hide a scar
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
And the only thing to do
Is to yourself be true
cause a head thats in the clouds wont see the stars

You Better Ask
Written by john curulewski
Lead vocals by john curulewski
I met a little girl sittin in the front
Pardon me miss for seeming quite so blunt
But your beauty and your presence
Just took me by surprise
She said theres a meaning in my sexy stare
But thats my old man thats sittin over there
And thats not the look of love that hes got for you in his eyes
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
I took her home and we was doing nip and tuck
How was I to know that I was out of luck
And before I knew it, the devil took my soul
In two weeks time it seemed to be the steady con
She told me youre about to be a papa, john
And I just looked around and tried to crawl into the nearest hole
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
[instrumental solos]
Well, in two more weeks I started feelin sore
I found myself waiting at my doctors door
He said, son Im sorry but Ive got some slightly less than tragic news
Yeah, it seems youve been sociable with certain shes
Cause youve contracted what we call a social disease
And next time you better ask and use it, no dont refuse
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask

t Aint Nobodys Bizness If I Do
(p. graninger/e. robbins)
There aint nothin I can do

That folks dont criticize me
But Im gonna do what I want to anyway
And I dont care just what people say
If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean

If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday

If my man aint got no money and I say take all mine honey

If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
t aint nobodys bizness if I do
Id rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me

Aint Nobodys Business If I Do
By porter grainger and everett robbins
There aint nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So Im gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And dont care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I go to church on sunday
And I shimmy down on monday,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
And if my friend aint got no money
And I say, all right, take all of mine honey,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I know that she wont call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It aint nobodys business if I do, lord no.
Well, it aint nobodys business if I do.

Thunder & Lightning
I thought it was love
That hurt so bad,
But all of this time I was a fool being had.
Now its the last stop for you, baby,
On my gravy train.
Well, I dont understand
How I could be so short of memory,
How I could just leave my pride in the rain.
No more thunder and lightning.
Nobodys gonna wrap me round their finger.
No more thunder and lightning.
Aint gonna let you treat me like a prisoner.
You played with my mind,
Baby, much too long.
You played with my head
Until all feelin was gone.
Now Im out of patience and money,
And my heart is numb.
You kept me in the dark,
But now I finally see some daylight.
Ive got a chance.
Im gonna run, baby, run.
No more thunder and lightning.
Nobodys gonna wrap me round their finger.
No more thunder and lightning.
Aint gonna let you treat me like a prisoner.
Nobodys gonna pull this thing back together.
Its too far out of hand.
If you wanna give it one more try,
Try it with another man.
[guitar interlude]
No more thunder and lightning.
Nobodys gonna wrap me round their finger.
No more thunder and lightning.
Aint gonna let you treat me like a prisoner.

Nobodys Fool
From the bright busy streets of the charing cross road
To the dark little alleys in old soho
From the smart noisy clubs where everybody goes
To the dark little streets that nobody knows
I couldnt care if the people dont notice me
They wouldnt know that I really exist
Im nobodys shelter, Im nobodys cover
Im nobodys lover, and nobodys friend
Im so use to lying and pretending
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend
I can go for a walk on a crowded street
And see millions of faces staring at me
Some of them smiling, some of them glare
But most of them dont even know that Im there
Thats how I want to be cause no one belongs to me
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend
Nobody pleads for me, nobody bleeds for me
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend
Im so use to lying and pretending
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend

Life In The City
Cut it down go put it away
Take an inside look on the outside
Another day
Take time look at the sunshine
Have mine its better on you anyway
Nobodys perfect all the time
But I know you
And you know me
And its alright
Im waking up gonna buy me some shoes
Take a long walk out of the hindsight start anew
Look around maybe buy a new topcoat
Stop moping the rains gonna rain through
Rain through on you
Yes its true that
Nobodys sunny all the time
But I know you and you know me
And its alright
And its your life
And its my life
Its our life in the city
Get a new place out in the hills
Plant a seed Im in need of a break from the fire drill
Repaint where all the paint aint
Get a clean slate and maybe we can buy a thrill
Ill foot that bill
Yes I will cause
Nobodys busy all the time
But I know you
And you know me

You can tuck it on the inside
You can throw it on the floor
You can wave it on the outside
Like you never did before
You get the diplomatic treatment
You get the force fed future
Get the funk after death
Get the wisenheimer brainstorm

So dont you try to hide it
(Im in touch with your world)
And nobodys gonna buy it
Its such a lovely way to go
Its such a lovely way to go
I been lying on your feathers
You keep talkin about the weather
Im a psilocybin pony
Youre a flick fandango phoney
Its a sticky contradiction
Its a thing you call creation
Everything is science fiction
And I ought to know

Nobodys Home
Nothing I can do about it
Maybe I wont even try
Your will is determined to kill any
Reason of mine
I see you coming
With that look in your eye
You act like a king but you aint got a thing
In your mind
And now theres nobody home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home
You talk about love and affection
If only you could
Youre full of pride but theres nothing inside
And you think youre so good
You know you got it coming to ya
All things return
You need me
Its not gonna be my concern
And now theres nobody home
Your message is changing
The children have grown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home
I hear you crying
What can I say
You get what you give so
Forgive me as I turn away
Nobodys home
A legend is dying
The seeds have been sown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home

Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Dont need reason, dont need rhyme
Aint nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
Im on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobodys gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobodys gonna mess me round
Hey satan, payed my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey momma, look at me

Nobodys Business
I went out in the darkness
Just searching for someplace to be
Wasnt looking for trouble
I guess it was looking for me
And I knew I was wasting my time
But it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
I was taking some comfort
I needed a break from the rain
I guess I was mistaken
And someone remembered my name
But I knew I was doin just fine
And it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
Well I guess for some
Revenge is sweet
Though it be once removed
I hope you feel better
I dont know what you proved
Well, yonder comes the emperor, boys
He sure looks fine in blue
I hope you feel better, babe
I know youre scared too
Well it sure makes you wonder
The things that some people will say
They can see black and white but they
Dont seem to notice the gray
What a price for a victimless crime
When it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
Yeah, it was nobodys business

Whats The Story
Written by: richard marx
From the cd: flesh and bone
No needles, no rehab
No minors, no murder rap
Wheres that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
If al that sells is tragedy I havent got a prayer
Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track
Just to say I took the fall but look whos comin back
Whats the story, wheres the dirt
Nobodys happy til somebody gets hurt
I dont want t keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat
Normal childhood, beautiful wife
scuse me having a wonderful life
Why should I be hungry for someone elses pain
Heroes should have something but talent for fame
Double barrel in the mouth nails it every time
But thats what legends all about
Aint no bigger headline
Whats the story, wheres the dirt
Nobodys happy til somebody gets hurt
I dont want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat
Maybe I should frequent all the places that Im avoiding
And maybe you should work on building rather than destroying
If this is making friends, Id rather be lonely
So wheres that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
I may never make page three but ask me if I care
Whats the story, wheres the dirt
Nobodys happy til somebody gets hurt
I dont want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

Why cant you be nicer to me?
My pride is dying
I think Im all done lying
nobodys sharing
so I stop caring
all alone and walking

Why cant you be nicer to me?

Nobodys Car
Black volga following me ---
Nobodys car.
Mr. no-one at the wheel of
Nobodys car.
Wet pavements, thin apartments ---
Quiet dissent from darkened doorways.
I want out alive.
Speak up for me if you can.
So, careful how you drive
In tourist city.
Slap in front of my hotel ---
Its nobodys car.
Is that my limousine?
No, its nobodys car.
Are you on routine assignment?
Plastic shades on black-browed eye-hole.
I read this book before.
I even saw the film.
How did the ending go?
(intourist city.)
Black out.
Its a weird scenario.
Ive seen a thousand times before
But only on my video.
Feel my steps quick in the headlights
Of nobodys car.
Down cobbled alley with no exit from
Nobodys car.
Doors slam, two figures silhouette ---
Somewhere before, I feel weve met.
Cant tell you any more.
I agreed to go along with all they asked of me.
Intourist city.
I drive nobodys car.
