Country Girl
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.- ascap)
You are a girl from the country
Your eyes remind me of the sun
You came to visit in the city
And won the hearts of everyone
You are a girl from the country
Your hair is colored like the corn
I have never been outside the city
I am no friend to anyone
Chorus:
Country girl wont you stay a while
Wont you stay a while with me
Country girl wont you stay a while
Let me see you smile for me

You are a girl from the country
Before you came I was alone
Please say youll take me to the country
And let me share your country home

Fretless
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Hes got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldnt confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldnt admit to a minute of fun
(chorus 1)
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I dont hate him
And I dont hate her
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
(chorus 2)
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with a e-a-c
Dont threaten me with a gentle tease
Dont threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Dont try to tell me what I am
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2)
(talk to me)
Dont talk to me
(talk to me)
Dont talk to me
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me

Dont talk to me about being alone

Dear John
(copyright nazareth,tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
You came round today
You never even knocked on my door
Your note tried to say
That you dont love me no more
Bridge:
I want you by my side cause
I wanna be your man
Im burning up inside cause
I wanna be your man
I had to be told
From people that I meet in the street
They are turning cold
Without you I would not be complete
Bridge:
Why did you write me in a letter
A word from you would be much better
Lead
Bridge
Dont cast me aside
Without you I could never survive
Why did you decide
To kill the love that keeps me alive

The Mirror Struggled
The mirror struggled; reflecting beauty such as hers
Prescribed a glory in the challenge – a fairytale
Or such as like! To shimmer back hypnotic hues
From auras of her skin – how do mirrors cope?
Hoary tales of pretty adolescent buds
Could never hope to match the tomes of dreamy
Pulchritude apprising us of such a belle as she.
The mirror shone; and as it worked itself, a moment –
Did it overlook the hidden melancholy?
Were melting eyes bedewed–? Florid lips imbued
With mournfulness? The hindrance of the silver glass!
Oh! to seek – to know the meaning of the sorrow!
She (with tearful hair, an image out of heaven)
Never opened up her heart. The mirror struggled.

The King Is Dead
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne
I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own
Oh I know you are the king
And youll say what is wrong
I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead
You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head
You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood
And the time has come for you to die
And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know Im the chosen one
I dont believe what you bequeth
And I must do what must be done
You say youre the only king
Your words just fall like rain

I Will Not Be Led
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
You have your rules and regulations,
You say his love is my salvation
Then talk of faith and segregation,
You say that I must wait,
He will communicate,
I will not join your congregation.
You force me into situations,
Preach bad of sin and fornication,
Forget your sworded celebration,
My heart fills up with rage
Who are you to gauge,
The purpose of my worlds creation.
I cannot see the light your seeing,
I have my own thoughts to believe in,
I will not heed the words your hearing,
I will not be accused, my liberty abused,
You chose the cross that you are bearing.
Y want me to believe the words you read
But I dont believe in what your good book says,
I just believe that when Im dead, Im dead.
You say I must repent,
Bow down and show respect,
I am a man and I will not be led.

The Mirror
Standing in front of the mirror,
The reflection tells me to look behind.
The focus of the mirror is myself,
And also what lies behind.
I can move to the left,
I can move to the right,
But to the mirror I am always within it's sight.
As are things past.
I look out a window,
It tells me to see what lies ahead.
In the window, I do not see myself.
I see others.
I see nature's beauty unfolding.
I know I am there,
But I am just merely a part of the surroundings.
To the mirror, it is all about me.
The mirror tells me to worry about how I look.
The window tells me to worry about how the world looks.
The eyes are the window to the soul.
Not the mirror.
The mirror deceives.
To the mirror, everything is backwards.
As I look into my own eyes.
My soul becomes filled with self.
As I look into the eyes of another.
My soul becomes filled with life.
While the mirror holds my reflection.
It is the window that holds the truth.

Cats Eye, Apple Pie
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Cats eye, apple pie, what am I going to do,
The woman I loved walked out on me,
What am I going to do.
Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone,
The woman I love has done me wrong,
What am I going to do.
Green beans, blackeyed peas,
What am I going to do,
The woman I love has let me down,
What am I going to do.
Shes a delta queen know what I mean,
As mean as wildfire lightnin,
She can win and break the heart of any man,
Shes the delta queen of new orleans,
And she loved me somethin frightnin,
But she left me for a dollar wavin man.

Loves Salvation
I dont know how to play it,
I dont know how to say it,
But its true,
Oooooh Im losing you.
I only know that maybe,
You and I have got to talk things trough,
But baby before we do,
Im telling you.
Chorus:
You can go right on breaking my heart,
I wouldnt care at all.
You can go right on taking my love,
Ill never close the door.
And even thoughi know you dont
Love me anymore,
You can hurt me but you wont break down
My love.
I dont know what began it,
It happens all the time,
So Ive been told,
Love grows old and cold.
Not for me the easy way,
I love you then and now I love you still,
And I guess I always will,
Meanwhile....
Repeat chorus
Not for me the easy way,
I dont want no trial seperation.
Id rather face the sleepless nights,
Working on our loves salvation.
Repeat chorus
Loves salvation,
(youve got to keep working on)
Our loves salvation,
(youve got to keep working on)

Well the blues dont care whos got em
Tears dont care where they fall
And you dont care my heart is breaking in two
No you and the blues dont care at all
Outside my window
Its raining
Somehow the rain seems right
Inside my lonely heart is aching
Oh how I miss you tonight

Rivers dont care where they flow

Cause you dont care anymore

I Had A Dream
(copyright nazareth,tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
I had a dream
I had a dream
I saw the mission band,playing on the green
It was the saddest thing,i have ever seen
What did it mean,what did it all mean?
And in my dream,in my same dream
I saw the soldiers marching,on the green
The band played a funeral march
Many a tear was seen
All in my dream,all in my dream
Lead
I heard the lesson read,i heard the choir
I saw the falling leaves,landing everywhere
I saw the family gathered,crying in despair
I was not there,i was not there

Maria
Theres a soft rain tappin on your window
Theres a cool breeze blowin off the bay
And a warm flame dancin with our shadows
To music playin far away
I never meant to stay an hour
I thought that I was passing through
Another town along the highway
I never meant to fall for you
Chorus:
But I cant speak for you maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, maria
Theres nothing left for dreams to steal
On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that were keepin
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold
Repeat chorus
When the sunlight brings the mornin
I cant tell you what Ill do
But Ive a mind to take you with me
And Ive got heart to stay with you
Repeat chorus
When I sleep with you, maria
Theres nothin left for dreams to steal

Tearful Eyes
The mirror laughed; it gleaned my thoughts
And saw me cry my want:
Synthetic views - pathetic clues
To how I tick - and now you taunt,
You bleeding mirror, jibe another!
Just because I dream…
To be the mighty hero wise!
And perch atop the sodden hill
Of blood and pungent death,
To lead our race from sure demise.
Let's regain, collect, and rest
Before the battle slams
Our dauntless nerve. And now to rise!
Come follow me - we'll slay the foe!
See my cloak unfurl.
Through screams and wails, he fails and dies.
Look! he falls across his minions'
Path. I laugh aloud.
My warriors hold me to the skies.
Overhead the clouds recede,
Thinning out the black.
And then I fade in pallid lies.
Returning back to conscious state,
I let the mirror slate me:
Fathoming my remote disguise,
Reflecting back my hopeless lot.
Oh to smash the thing!
If I could see through tearful eyes.

Take Me With You
I try, not to panic,
I hold on to the pieces,
Its hard to stop my heart from breaking.
If I could stand to take the long road,
If I could reach to where Ive never been.
Theres a mirror facing me.
I dont want to be here.....take me with you
Chorus:
Take me there, take me there,
Until I die, until I die.
Take me with you,
Take me there, take me there,
Until I die, until I die
Take me with you.
I chose to be careful,
Hold on to the reason,
Its hard to stop my head from spinning,
If I could sleep until tomorrow,
If I could see the things Ive never seen,
Its a matter of dreaming.
I dont want to be here.....take me with you
Repeat chorus
I dont wanna hurt inside,
I feel like Im losing time,
Take me with you
Repeat chorus
With you

Out The Window
You said to never ever come back
I wasnt sure exactly what you meant by that
I know that we have had some problems
But Ive got solutions in my head
[chorus:]
So I jumped out the window
And down the fire escape
Broke the window, who needs car keys anyway?
Climbed through the window, I thought led to your heart
Thrown out the window, there was nothing there to break my fall.
Sorry I sent you all the flowers
I heard your boyfriend wants to shove them up my ass
I never meant to cause you problems
But Ive got solutions in my head.
[chorus]
You said its over
You said never again
Why does this happen all the time?
You dont even want to be friends
It makes you happy when I cry
Now all Ive got left is my sanity
Now all Ive got left is my sanity
And Im not sure how far it goes.

Mirror, Mirror, Bloody Fibber
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Can't you show me tall and slim?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Must I look so bloody grim?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
You're distorting my poor waist!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
And why the heck am I defaced?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Why have I a double chin?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
And what's the stupid, goofy grin?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Pointless asking ‘Who’s the fairest? –
More bloody likely, 'Who’s the queerest? ’
Now look, I paid a big bucks for thee,
So why can’t you be nice to me?
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Me, you say? Ah, that's better –
Mirror, mirror, bloody fibber!

Storm Windows
I can hear the wheels of the automobiles
So far away - just moving along through the drifting snow
Its times like these when the temperatures freeze
I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
And down on the beach - the sandman sleeps
Time dont fly - it bounds and leaps
And a country band that plays for keeps
They play it so slow
Chorus:
Dont let your baby down
Dont let your baby down
Dont let your baby down
Well, the spirits were high til the well went dry
For so long the raven at my window was only a crow
I bought the rights to the inside fights
And watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window
While miles away oer hills and streams
A candle burns - a witchs dreams
And silence is golden till it screams
Right through your bones
Repeat chorus:
Storm windows - gee but Im getting old
Storm window - keep away the cold
Dont let your baby down
Dont let your baby down
Dont let your baby down

Mirror Mirror on the wall
You once said that it was me
I was once like royalty
I was long ago loved
It was me, you said, he thought of
Long ago, in a world of my own
Somewhere, where the sunlight shone
I was happy and I was free
He was the most important thing to me
[Chorus]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
you just sit there and watch me fall
mirror mirror on the wall
does anybody care at all
Mirror, mirror on my wall (x2)
All you ever did was lie
No one was ever really on my side
So heres to all those times I've cried
All because your hateful lies

Screaming
Needing you
Screaming
Needing you here
