Custom Concern
Their custom concern for the people
Build up the monuments and steeples
To wear out our eyes
I get up just about noon
My head sends a message for me
To reach for my shoes then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta get a job
Goes through the parking lot fields
Doesnt see no signs that they will yield
And then thought, thisll never end
Thisll never end, thisll never stop
Message read on the bathroom wall
Says, I dont feel at all like I fall.
And were losing all touch, losing all touch
Building a desert

Gotta Stop (Messin' About)
{B-side of Let's Work}
Sittin' outside your door, about to break down
Fourth time this week somebody's come around
Who's it gonna be tonight, who's the lucky man
Where you get the attitude, I'll never understand
Uh Oh, here he comes now, so happy that he came
Hey! Was it good boy? [Thoughts on, of her aim]
What goes on inside your head that makes you want to take them all to bed?
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U know u gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
When I call u on the phone, you act so unconcerned
(I wanna) I wanna get you all alone (ooh baby) to show u what I've learned
Why u won't give me the time of day, u won't give me some time,
U won't give me anything, god u think u're too fine
Can't u see? All I want is a little time,
I've been playing with my toy so much I'm gonna go blind.
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
Gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
U do it too much
U gotta stop, gotta gotta stop, messin about
Stop!

Baby, you will leave again
Stay and suffer with me, baby
Then Ill know you paid your due
Stay and suffer with me, baby

If youre not there when I need you

Come back where you belong

Under The Mistletoe
Theres no telling how far a kissll go
Wish on the highest star that thisll go
On right here where we are under the mistletoe
On christmas night, it seems so right
That a lovely holiday dish made a mess of me
If love is this, its my favourite recipe
The kind that fits to remind the rest of me
Theres room to grow, under the mistletoe
But I made this mist as a christmas wannabe
With a christmas list that insists Ive gotta be
Hugged and kissed by this sweet miss in front of me
On christmas night and every night
Just right here, in the doorway where they found us
Theyd like to leave but theres no way around us
I believe theres a spell that bound us
Ive gotta know, is it only the mistletoe
Gotta know, Im afraid to go
Dont want out if were in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And Ive gotta know, is it only the mistletoe
Dont think so
Gotta know, Im afraid to go
Dont want out if were in the throes
Flames die out in the afterglow
And Ive gotta know, is it only the mistletoe
Dont think so
I gotta know
Say it aint, say it aint ... just the mistletoe

Gotta Get Used To You
(jean-alain roussel)
Who dyou think youre kidding?
You walk out on my life
Now, youre back again
And you think that nothings changed
Denying superstitions, defying traditions
It seems like weve been through this before
Now, its gonna be like starting all over again
Oh, baby, dont you know?
Its gonna be like starting all over again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
You know I love to feel you
Reach the depth of my heart
Deep inside of me
The way it used to do
Ive had so many lovers
No-one could ever tame me
They all seem to rub me the wrong way
They always get my back up
No-one seems to do the things that you do for me
And now that youre back in my life again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again

Train Of Thought
When youre talkin in your sleep,
And the name that you whisper aint mine
And Ive finally faced the fact
That youre cheatin on me one more time
When my anger starts to rumble
And my steam starts to rise
And the wheels keep turning
Faster as I think of all your lies
Oh that train of thought runnin right on time
But its off the track and Im losing my mind
cause the way you used me
Gonna drive me insane honey
Say youll never leave me
For gods sake stop the train
Oh the camel back is broken
By the one extra straw added on
And a woman cant see reason
When her last ray of sunshine is gone
Theres a finger on the trigger
And that locomotive sound
And I think how much I love you
And I turn the gun around
Oh that train of thought runnin right on time
But its off the track and Im losing my mind
And you hold me the last time
As I try to explain, honey
Dont feel bad about me
I just had to stop this train
Gotta get off, gotta get off
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
This train of thought (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off (woo-woo)
Gotta get off, gotta get off
The train of thought (woo-woo)

Erase 'em All
Building the walls around it
Created self with nothing much
Without a cost to find it
Feeling avoid and losing touch
The borrowed taste his novelty
Could be a product of another's humility
Don't worry your loss wil be his gain
He wouldn't hesitate to turn his back on you
And it might be true
Erase 'em all - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall befoer you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta
Erase 'em all
The warning's out it's gonna come to an end and I
Hate to see him label me as a friend tonight
Never question my intentions without the right
Showing me another way to turn his back on you
And it might be you
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta
Erase 'em all, Erase 'em all, Erase 'am all,
Erase 'em all
Erase 'em all, Erase 'em all, Erase 'am all,
Erase 'em all
You wanna stay you'd better run
When I catch up you better have a gun
I'm so wound up from playin' dumb
This time it's real and real isn't fun
You never saw this side before
Don't test the water for what's in store
I drew the line and I learned a rule
What's good for me isn't good for you
Erase 'em all
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know the motto
Erase 'em All - Don't worry boy
You gotta rise to fall before you know you gotta

Gotta Find Me A Better Day
I been gettin lonely, too much these days.
I been gettin lonely, I guess I better get away.
But where can I go thats real? lifes a stage on a ferris wheel.
And the actors are all fighting just to see who gets the lead in the play.
Oh, no, no.
I gotta find me a better day.
Talk about down, I feel so lonely.
Talk about down, Im startin to worry.
Dont really want to be all alone. I cant get along with the chicks at home.
The world just dont seem right, my head is spinnin, and I hate whats goin down.
You gotta find me a better day.
Oh, gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
You gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
You gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find, gotta find,
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find, gotta find,
Gotta find,
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.
Gotta find me a better day.

A Smile Spreads Across My Face
here goes nothing
i hope this message sinks deep
but these feelings are
a secret i cant keep
i hope it doesnt change the way
you think about me
i hope it helps you
open your eyes and see
when i see you in the hall
when i see your face
you gotta smile
that lights up this place
i kinda shake
when we walk
i get really nervous
when we talk
i hate school
when youre not there
cause i dont get to see you
and its not fair
i may not be
your dream guy
but i can do
is hope and try
nothing feels right
when youre sad
everythings wrong
everythings bad
i cant hold it back
im so sorry
thisll probably ruin our friendship
and i cant help but worry
i got no chance
but im trying to look on the bright side
but everytime i see you
i wanna run and hide
your hair is gorgeous
your face is too
im lost and confused
i dont know what to do
i daydream about you
during every class
and youre the personal problem
god im a dumb ass
i hope this means something
ive put it all on the line
and i hope that this poem
works as a sign
i hope you understand
make an exception for this case
cause when i see you
a smile spreads across my face..

It aint fair, john sinclair
In the stir for breathing air
Wont you care for john sinclair?
In the stir for breathing air
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me
They gave him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
If hed been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in vietnam
If he was the cia
Selling dope and making hay
Hed be free, theyd let him be
Breathing air, like you and me
They gave him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,

They gave him ten for two
They got ali otis too.
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
Gotta, gotta, gotta set him free
Was he jailed for what he done?
Or representing everyone
Free john now, if we can
From the clutches of the man
Let him be, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids
They gave him ten for two
What else can the bastards do?

Tried to make you see how its gotta be

I Got To Get A Message To You
The preacher talked with me and he smiled
Said, Come and walk with me
Come and walk one more mile
Now for once in your life you're alone
But you ain't got a dime
There's no time for the phone
I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
I told him I'm in no hurry
But if I broke her heart
Then won't you tell her I'm sorry
And for once in my life I'm alone
And I've gotta let her know
just in time before I go
I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
Well I laughed but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love
That keeps me wearing this dirt
Now I'm crying but deep down inside
Well I did it to him
Now it's my turn to die
I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

You've Gotta Gotta Go
You must know why,
I like our nights of leisure.
The moment you sigh...
I turn the lights,
Down low!
Then you say to me,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I've come to be with you?
Then you say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know...
I want to stay.
I've come such a long way!
You must know why,
My time with you is treasured.
I want you in my life.
For more than just what is pleasured.
But then you say no...
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?
Please don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's try to forget,
All regrets we once kept.
Don't say,
'You've gotta gotta go! '
Let's start out fresh,
And build on love that's left.
Don't you know,
I've learned a few lessons too!
Don't you know,
I'm here to be with you?

James Holladay (Demo)
James Holladay was a working man
He made his living on the land
But living alone was too much to stand
So Jim found a woman to understand
Two years passed living in joy
When out of the blue came a baby boy
Just to keep up the family name
Mister Holladay said we'll call him little James
So you better run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
You better better run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
You better better run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away (Jim you gotta get away)
Little James became a working man
He followed his pa right across the land
At the end of the day when his work was done
He'd sit and watch the setting southern sun
Nineteen years had come and gone
Little Jimmy had grown up big and strong
He didn't know that his time had come
When they handed him a shiny black gun
So his pa said, run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta getaway
So you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
So you better run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away (Jim you gotta get away)
Run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta getaway
You better better run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away
You better better run, run, run, run, run, run (Jim you gotta get away)
Jim, you gotta get away

Gotta Be Love
(john duarte/mark paul)
I wonder what youre doing tonight
I wonder if youre thinking of me
You cant imagine what Im feeling inside
I want to see you but I cant break free
How did I ever let it get this far?
I only wanted you to be my friend
But now its turning into so much more
Its something special, I dont want it to end
I want to be with you
All the time
You know I need you
Lying alone with my heart on the line
I cant get you out of my mind
Its gotta be love
I feel for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love
I know you must be out with someone else
I called and let it ring a hundred times
Look in the mirror, I dont see myself
I just see someone I need tonight
Maybe Im crazy to want only you
When theres so many others that I know
Who can be everything and love me, too
But in my heart, they just dont come close
Last night you held me
We stood at my door
And then you kissed me
Now tears break like glass as they fall to the floor
Ive never felt this way before
Its gotta be love
I feel for you
Its gotta be love
What will I do?
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love (its gotta be love, it has to be you)
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love (gotta be love)
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love (its gotta be love the matter with me)
Im feeling inside
Its gotta be love (gotta be love)

Yes its true that I believe
Im weaker than I used to be
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
And I forget the rest of me
Yes theres times Ive been afraid
And theres no harm in that I pray
Cuz Im more frightened everyday
Someone will take the hope I have away
But you gotta give it up

I Gotta Be
Dont wanna make a scene
I really dont care if
People stare at us
Sometimes I think Im dreamin
I pinch myself
Just to see if Im awake or not

Is it real
What I feel
Could it be
You and me till the end of time
Never part
Take my heart
Hold it tight
Its true love you know I gotta be

I gotta be the one you touch
Baby, I gotta be the one you love
(Im telling you that)
I gotta be the one you feel
And I gotta be the one to fill your life with sunshine
I gotta be the one you know
Cuz I will always love you so
(Im loving you, girl)
I gotta be the one you need
Im just telling you that I gotta be
Picture you and me
Starting a life together
We could be
Well take this vow to love one another
Make this thing a reality, oh

Dont ever wanna think about you leaving my life

Lost In Hollywood
Gotta get a message through
Cause I think I'm losing you
Am I too late?
Drinking habit's a loose sometime
I gotta know if you're still mine
And I can't wait
Last time I saw your face
You tried to hide the tears
But I could see the trace
I'd be there if I could
But it's so far away from home
Lost in Hollywood
In the dark the vultures wait
I can hear them
Knocking at my gate
But I'm not here
The brew was cold
The meat is stale
In the L.A. night the sirens wail
The song you can feel
Pale stars that never shine
Scotch and the whiskey
And the Rainbow local wine
She's done more bad than good
I gotta get away somehow
Lost in Hollywood
On the streets the sun is fine
Don't you feel the advantage hit your mind
Feels all right, oh yeah
But I'm a lover
Like a loaded gun
Chasing shadows on the run
Out in the night
I'm gonna lose control
If I been losing you
To pay for rock'n'roll
Get back I know I should
Gotta get back home to you
You don't know what I been through
But there's nothing I can do, oh no

Lookin' Out For No.1
Just a kid with a crazy dream wants it all before he's seventeen
Don't know where to begin
With a wild thought he knows the fact, no no there's no looking back
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Some people make it and others don't try, they seem happy to live out a lie
I'm right here on my own
Me I'm a gambler and I pay for my sins, I've been right there and I'm back again
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Let's get away right out of here, it's not soon enough for me
Breaks of a lifetime it's there like a lifeline, reach out and grab it it's free
-- (short instrumental)--
How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
-- (another short instrumental) --
How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
How does it feel...to be out on your own... just gotta

How does it feel to be out etc.
