Blue Sky Mine
Hey, hey-hey hey
Therell be food on the table tonight
Hey, hey, hey hey
Therell be pay in your pocket tonight
My gut is wrenched out it is crunched up and broken
A life that is led is no more than a token
Wholl strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why
If I yell out at night theres a reply of bruised silence
The screen is no comfort I cant speak my sentence
They blew the lights at heavens gate and I dont know why
But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(therell be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(therell be pay in your pocket tonight)
The candy store paupers lie to the share holders
Theyre crossing their fingers they pay the truth makers
The balance sheet is breaking up the sky
So Im caught at the junction still waiting for medicine
The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine
Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company wont come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company wont save me
Whos gonna save me?
But if I work all day...
And some have sailed from a distant shore
And the company takes what the company wants
And nothings as precious, as a hole in the ground
Whos gonna save me?
I pray that sense and reason brings us in
Whos gonna save me?
Weve got nothing to fear
In the end the rain comes down
Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town
(midnight oil)

Surrender To Me
Is it that weve been together much too long?
The answer may not be in black and white.
Were always trying to prove whos right or wrong,
Yet now were giving up without a fight.
But I know when youre gone,
Ill wish I held on.
So, baby, surrender to me.
Therell be no holding back now.
So, baby, surrender to me tonight.
I dont want our love to cause you so much pain.
If this is how its going to be, Ill walk away.
Oh, neither one of us should ever say goodbye.
Lets forget about the past and whos to blame,
cause when this is all gone,
Well wish wed held on.
So, baby, surrender to me.
Therell be no holding back now.
So, baby, surrender to me tonight.
How could this love be in danger
That used to be so good, so right?
To think that fate could make us strangers
Has thrown me in your arms tonight!
So, baby, surrender to me.
Therell be no holding back now.
So, baby, surrender to me tonight.
So, baby, surrender . . .

Showdown
She cried to the southern wind
About a love that was sure to end
Every dream in her heart was gone
Headin for a showdown
Bad dreamer, whats your name
Looks like were ridin on the same train
Looks as through therell be more pain
Theres gonna be a showdown
And its rainin all over the world
Its raining all over the world
Tonight, the longest night
She came to me like a friend
She blew in on a southern wind
Now my heart is turned to stone again
Theres gonna be a showdown
Save me, oh save me
Its unreal, the suffering
Theres gonna be a showdown
And its rainin all over the world

Howling like a tom cat once again

I Want A Lover
At this time of night, when the crowds have passed
Were the last to leave, we need some company
No need to look so shy, dont even wonder why
You know the reason that we need this company
Ive been sitting here, looking out for you
Someone just like me, whos maybe had a drink or two
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
Outside the dawn is breaking, looks like its started raining
Well catch a cab, and soon be driving home
No need to look so shy, dont even wonder why
Youll know the reason just as soon as we get home
Youve been sitting there, wondering what to do
Ive been standing here, waiting to make the first move
Ahaha
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (tonight)
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
This anticipation is a stimulation
No need for conversation as were driving home
Put your arms around me, it doesnt mean you love me
Just that you want me and you need my company
Driving through the night, its so exciting
Turning off the light without another thought tonight
Ahaha
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (I want a lover tonight)
I dont want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I dont care whether its wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love) - I want a lover (I want your love tonight)

And I know who Ill invite
Theres a strange and lonely person
With whom Ill spend this night
Therell be no old sad memories
To haunt me till I die
In that room therell be a bottle
And me, myself and i
In that room therell be a bottle
And me, myself and i

Ive shook a thousand shaking hands
But tonight Ill be with someone
Who will look me in the eye

Maybe Tonight
Weve been friends for a long, long time
You had your lover and I had mine
One night I looked at you and I think we both knew
Some night Id hold you in my arms
Chorus:
Maybe tonight well find each other
Maybe tonight youll turn around and Ill be there
If the timing is right we could finally get together
We might just fall in love and it may be tonight
Two hearts of fire cant live like this
A burning desire we cant resist
Whos gonna break the ice
Whos gonna roll the dice
And it would take is just one kiss

Minstrel Boy
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
Oh, luckys been drivin a long, long time
And now hes stuck on top of the hill.
With twelve forward gears, its been a long hard climb,
And with all of them ladies, though, hes lonely still.
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?
Well, he deep in number and heavy in toil,
Mighty mockingbird, he still has such a heavy load.
Beneath his boundries, what more can I tell,
With all of his travlin, but Im still on that road.
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it down easy to save his soul?

Who's Gonna Take You Home Tonight
Theres a place you go after dark
Where you sell your haunted heart
In the shadows you look for the friend
Wholl take you where the sidewalks ends
And its a sad affair
You reach out but no ones there
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Wholl be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight
You couldnt see that love was the price
What happened to the light in your eyes
Broken dreams fall at your feet
You stand alone on a dead end street
So whos gonna hear you prayer
Look around theres no one there
Hell tell you dreams come true
And take you to some rented room
But when the blinds are drawn
Another angel will fall
I guess its in your blood
One love just aint enough
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Take your hand and hold you tight
Wholl be the one to make it right
And promise you paradise
Tell me whos gonna take you home tonight
Turn the darkness into light
And wipe away the tears you cry
Just another stranger
Will be taking you home tonight

I Wanna Roo You
Twenty-third of december
Covered in snow
You in the kitchen
With the lights way down low
I'm in the parlor playing my old guitar
Speaking to you, darling, to find out how you are
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
Come to me softly
Come to me quiet
Know what i'm after
I'm gonna try it
Snowstorm's on the way and we'll be stranded for a week
Come over to the window, look outside take a peek
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
You know i am lonely
And in need of your company
Oh, let your love light shine on down on me
And we can just sit here
Look at the fire
Watch the flames leaping higher and higher
Tea on the stove food in the pan
Ain't going nowhere and we don't have many plans
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
And you know i am lonely
I been in need of your company
Let your love shine on down on me
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
I wanna roo you, wanna get through to you
I wanna woo you, woo you tonight
Woo you tonight, pretty baby
Woo you tonight, little darling
Woo you tonight, alright
Woo you tonight

Days Like This

When theres no one complaining therell be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me therell be days like this
When you dont need to worry therell be days like this
When no ones in a hurry therell be days like this
When you dont get betrayed by that old judas kiss

When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they f it

When everyone is up front and theyre not playing tricks
When you dont have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When its nobodys business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember therell be days like this
When no one steps on my dreams therell be days like this
When people understand what I mean therell be days like this
When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well my mama told me therell be days like this

Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we dont like it
So were getting up and going down
Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think its best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath
Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
So dont you be around
Dont you be around
Tonight theres gonna be trouble
Some of us wont survive
See the boys and me mean business
Bustin out dead or alive
I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail
Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
So dont you be around
Tonight theres gonna trouble
Im gonna find myself in
Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
So woman stay with a friend
You know its safer
Breakout!
Tonight theres gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Dont you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long
Searchlight on my trail
Tonights the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin female
Come here!
Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak

Tonight theres gonna be a jailbreak
So dont you be around

Christmas For Every Boy & Girl
Verse one
The roar of his laughter is widely renown
A distinct ho-ho-ho as he goes town to town
The number of kids is sure to astound
Its many the chimney that hell shimmy down
He knows whos been bad and whos good
And hed empty that bag out if only he could
Chorus
When hes loading his sleigh and hes making the rounds
Therell be many a rooftop that wont hear the sound
Of the reindeers hooves stomp and st. nick touches down
When he wraps up a package of peace for the world
Therell be christmas for every boy and girl
Verse two
How many children are watching the sky
For a chance to see rudolphs red nose glowing by
And how many lay listening with sleep in their eyes
And visions of patriots crossing the sky
He knows whos asleep and awake
And that promise wont keep if its for goodness sake
