Down
Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game
So I was up for awhile
Livin in style
Feelin high on the hog
I was down
Chorus:
Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I dont know..........dont care at all
I had a similar dream
Of my dreams
While
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong
Now Im on the way up
When you reach the top
No way to go
And people just dont wanna know
When youre down

If You See My Baby
If you see my baby
With another man
Keep it a secret if you can
If you see my baby

Dont tell me even if you can

You know I could not stand the pain
So if you think you are my friend
I hope you never see her
With another man
But if you do dont you understand

A Veterans Song
The bars are crowded with wasted youth
You just went, you didnt know the truth
You dont know that kid when you look back
You remember the music, paint it black
You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card
Hes got a job in the white house, aint life hard
You came back a hero on a stolen horse
You say you dont fit in, you cant stay the course
I may be right, dont care if Im wrong
Its a veterans song
I may be right, dont care if Im wrong
Its a veterans song
The band paraded playing oh gung ho
Your country needs you, youve got to go
When you came over they said soldier go back
When you came home they put you on the rack
Between agent orange and the jungle and fear
Youre just surviving to get out of here
You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down
Could be your number is on the next round.

Spinning Top
My heads moving like a spinning top
How in the world do I make it stop
round and round and faster still
Im gonna live till I had my fill
Call the crowd and gather round
Youre gonna find me in the lost and found
Bright lights , thats my style
Dont be goinawhile
Got no time for sittin round
Tops are livin proof to
Aint gonna wait another day
Pack my bags and get on my way
Gone and turn around
Youre gonna find me in the lost and found

Tell Me That You Love Me
Tell me that you love me
Even though Im far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
Well, Im not new to this
Held on before when I should have let go
The mistakes that you make
Keep comin round like a family ghost
I just wanna know
Am I moving in or heading for the coast
She said:
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
I dont know what to do
Im all dressed up no place to go
Sailing against the wind, cant figure it out
Which way it will blow
Show me now
Im lost at sea Im sinking below
Help me now
Tell me, tell me
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day.

Friends
Just sit yourself down friend
Pull up a chair friend
There aint nobody here friend
But the people you need
Roll yourself a joint friend
Empty your head friend
Make yourself at home friend
This is where you belong
Chorus:
Put your feet up on the fire
If it makes you feel much better
Have a glass of homegrown wine
Dont you think it tastes fine
Tear you away friend
On a planet to space friend
Faster than you can think friend
Youll be there before you know

Greens
Woke up this morning crawled out between the sheets
My woman was warm, kisses oh so sweet
Wanted to stay but I had to go
Headed for the factory, made myself some dough
Chorus:
I said greens is what I mean
Well it dont keep ya warm as lovin
But it sure pays for that fun in between
Got me some new wheels bright red fast and mean
Felt good drivin around in that machine
Cruisin round puttin on a show
Couldnt make the payment the car just had to go
(repeat chorus)
(lead)
Gotta make some changes, gotta get myself in gear
Things are gettin heavy, Im cuttin out of here
Take my woman, make some speed
Dont know where Im going but I sure know what I need

Just Another Heartache
Who took the smile out of your face
Who put the tears and sadness in its place
Who took the sun out of your sky
Dont turn around or ask for reasons why
No place to run, nowhere to hide
Its just another love turned bad
Some smoke thats gettin in your eyes
Its just another heartache,just another heartache
Just another hurt to take
Another bridge for you to cross
Its nothing but a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Just another big mistake
Another game you have lost
It aint nothing but a heartache
Always wore your heart out on your sleeve
You said youd always cared and needed to believe
There comes a time to give, there comes a time to take
But a sentimental heart will be the first to break
Dont try to run
Dont try to hide
Its just another love turned bad
Some smoke thats clouded up your eyes.

Lap Of Luxury
She was a wall street celebrity
With upward mobility
Walked and talked like a man
But that was o.k. by me
Two bit losers can never be choosers
No nit pickin kickin the can
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury
Seventeen self abusals
Got me twenty blind, flat refusals
While shes dressin all in white
Im gettin set up for my life
Hard work never stopped the dance
But provin it just aint worth the chance
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury
Everythings alrighty by me
With risin credibility
Im leavin a mark with my indelability
Shes earnin the money
Im servin the honey
Bring it on home to the hive---no jive
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury

Expect No Mercy
If youre ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin
Now I dont wanna get you uptight
But if youre in a corner
And you cant find no way out
Dont look around for no help
No, no there wont be any around
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you dont wanna listen
You cant be told no more
But waitll you get out there
You better do it right
cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And theyre hidin in the night
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
Theyll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game youre playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
Youll get blown away
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

You Dont Believe In Us
I never asked you for money
I only needed some time
You took more than you gave and you sat on the line
I never asked you for nothing
I only looked for a chance
I only needed some help I never asked for this dance
Now youre holding the aces
The world is under your feet
Therell come a day when you smile and you wont look so sweet
You never gave me no favors
I never owed you a thing
Youll never know why you dream what tomorrow will bring
You dont believe in us...you dont believe in us
You only wanted our mind
You dont believe in us...you dont believe in us
Youre only payin our time
You never gave me no answers
You never showed me no clues
The day will come when Ill watch you take a walk in my shoes
You never saw when I caught it
You never opened your eyes
Youll never see where you stand when your heads in the skies

Hard living, every day of my life
Hard living, every night on the wine
Never givin, any one any time
Always losin, all I had all the time
Yes Im a selfish kinda man
All I need is a helping hand
Bad loser, never had anyone
Bad chooser, never owed never won
Fast mover, everyday on the run
Never knowing, if I feel or Im done

Hard drinking, every night on the wine

Juliet
See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty loves burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love thats a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love thats a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you.

That was the first thing she said to me
I was on dry land but I was back at sea
She was so pretty but she was so mean
Cmon boys, Im sure youve been
Chorus:
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Hey mama whats your name, hey whats it matter

She was a beauty she was so good
Doin her duty now its understood

Hey lady, whats your game, hey can I play it
Everybody knows when the price is right
So just come out and say it
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin her duty now its understood.

Some girls got it some girls dont
Some girls do it some girls wont
Some girls want to run your life
Some want to sink your boat
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Make you break you girls dont care
Wake you shake you get you there
Some girls like to play it cool
Some like to kiss and tell
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Its not new but its gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face
Cant live with them
Cant live without them
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Girls in movies girls in space
Girls on t.v. girls that race
Some girls want to tie you down
Some girls dont want to know
Girls- sweet sweet girls
Its not true but its gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face
Cant live with them
Cant live without them

Part Of Your Life
J. spinks
Youre taking this hard - and I still dont know
If weve got a price - Ill let you go
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I cant complain if Im not sure
Ill only remain if youre still pure
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
You know I wont share you with another man
So dont expect me to try and understand
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
(chorus)
Theres another choice
Theres another dream
Theres another place
Another reason for living
Theres another face
Theres another mind
Theres another soul
Another heart I could find
I dont wanna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time wont ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

I dont want a friend just to turn to
I dont need a hand that can only pull me through
Im not gonna be just a part of your life
I dont wanna be just a part of your life

Recorded in 1978 as a b-side to the single here am i,my personal favourite rca song! - best ad libbing Ive ever heard. also, two recordings of this song exist. lyrics taken from careful listening.
Take me out of the mood Im in
I dont care what you do
Im just glad that the one Im with is you
Ooh, I dont know what I wanna say
Only know how I feel
Tomorrows more than a mile away from here
Oh, dont stop the music
I need it to dance
Dont stop the music, not now
No, no, no, no
Dont stop the music
I need some romance
Dont stop the music, not now
Ad libs...
Oh, I dont know where Im going to
I dont know that I care
Its one of those nights
When the music takes me there
Ooh, take me out of the mood Im in
Dance me out of my mind
Its one of those nights
That I just cant leave behind
Oh, dont stop the music
I need it to dance
Dont stop the music, not now
No, no, no, no
Dont stop the music
I need some romance
Dont stop the music, not now
Ad libs...
Dont stop the music

Dont stop the music, not now
Dont stop the music

Dont stop, not now
Dont stop, dont stop
I need it to dance

New York Broken Toy
She came from new york
Seems like a bright spark
Knew all the answers to the game
Moved to a new town
Soon pushed her way around
But youre a lady just the same
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Moved with the wrong pack
Hard headed, well stacked
Drop her guard if you drop her name
Made all the wrong moves
Knew all the lines to use
Too many got burned in her flame
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Since the news got around
Someone I brought up town
Needed a friend but no one came
She tried to change her views
But still she wasnt bad news
Dont ever lose at your own game
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy.
