Hire And Fire
It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin lots of nothing
She was none too bright
But youll listen much to anythin
When anythins in sight, wont ya!
Double back trouble like a temperance hall
Shes dealin with the ceilin
And the writings on the wall
Then youre wishing it was over, like an endless fall.
Its a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there aint a train in sight
Oh no! settin my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Playin the game his latest flame
Now its a fine line between passion and dread
Foolin and a droolin
Starts rulin your head
To seduction, destruction
Were so easily lead
And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone
The smell of disappointment
Mirror wants to pick a bone
Its a cup of cold coffee
Like the taste of stale beer
Lets get outta here
Its a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there aint a train in sight
Oh no! settin my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Carry the flame and make it last
Carry the blame and kiss your ass goodbye.

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

Steamroller
Here she come, right on time
Tenement mixer, givin? the hard line
Hammerin? down walls of steel
Permanent fixer, its a bad sign
Shes runnin? right over you
Aint no way to control her...steamroller
Cant figure you out, shes big trouble
Soul-contractor, makin? your pain pay double
Dont wanna know, bout no last chance
Outa time, now youre last years model
Shes crawlin? all over you
Still you try to console her......steamroller
Shes rollin? all over you
Try survivin? below her
Shes rollin? all over you
Like a head-kickin? ass-whippin? steamin? demon fast bowler......steamroller
Here she come, there you go
Boa-constrictor, takin? it real slow
Price of fame, down to zero
Shes a run-away train, puttin? on a real show
Shes comin? back over you
Like a bay city roller......steamroller

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.

Killer For Hire
On a night time ride
Find that nothing's left.
Not a thing in sight.
I’m going to my death.
Cut a deal with the Devil,
I’m signing my name,
Cuz I figure I’m going to Hell
Anyway.
Bringin’ my fire, Bringin’ my sword
I’m gonna fight you know.
I won’t be ignored,
Gonna rock and roll.
Ready, aim, fire
I’m a killer for hire.
(FIRE)
Killer for hire.
At the next sunrise
I might not be there
When you open your eyes
The demon might come to take his share.
Bringin’ my fire, Bringin my sword
I’m gonna fight you know.
I won’t be ignored,
Gonna rock and roll.
Ready, aim, fire
I’m a killer for hire.
(FIRE)
Killer for hire.

Do You Want To Play House
Call me ready, call me ready or not
And Ill say yeah! yeah! yeah!
Give it all I got
Call me in the morning, when Im half asleep
Rivers runnin high on the mountain deep
Call me deadly, call me deadly serious
And Ill say yeah! yeah! yeah!
I couldnt care enough
Call me when you want to control the vice
Ill defend your honor when you roll the dice
Do you want to play house,do you want to play house
Playin in the house of love?
Do you want to play house,do you want to play house
Playin in the house,playin in the house of love
Call me over, call me over the top
And Ill say yeah! yeah! yeah!
Never wanna stop
Call me on hire when youre in your shell
Wanna be your fire, wanna ring your bell
Do you wanna play house, do you wanna play house
Playin in the house of love
Do you wanna play house, do you wanna play house,
Playin in the house, playin in the house of love?
Call me never, call me never say die
And Ill say yeah! yeah! yeah!
Take me alive
Call me undercover when you bake your bread
Wanna be your lover, wanna make your bed
Do you waana play house..........

Cry Wolf
Ime out, no good now
Screamin too loud
And I cant hear a word you say
Look out, way too late
Suns going down
And Im comin around your way
You keep calling me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin
When you cry, you cry, cry wolf
Got me running, cry,cry--cry, cry wolf
Dont touch, dont look now

And its keepin me hang around
But when the call comes through
Im ready for you and you say it aint true
But youre keepin your defenses down
You keep callin me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin
When you cry, you cry, cry wolf
Got me runnin cry, cry--cry wolf

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

Let It Ride
Before I leave town today
Well, theres something
That I wanna say
That you regret the stormy night
You put your eyes on me
Well, you cheated on me
And you lied
And I mustve had that
A thousand times
But Ill be comin back one day
Just you wait and see
Oh, yeah, let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
Ride the night away
Let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
cause Ill be coming back to stay
This time you couldve let me live
But theres nothing more
That I can give
Youve stolen every day in my life
And then you threw it away
This train Im gonna ride tonight
Is gonna carry me
Right out of your sight
But Ill be comin back some time
And then youre gonna pay
Oh wont you take me tonight
Wont you carry me right to the top
Taking me higher
You carry me through
The things that you know
To the end of the line
How much higher?
The last lap is mine
Its too long as they say
You know its just what will be
As youve wavin goodbye
Keep rememberin why
The devil that got you was me
Youre the city where
I wanted to be
But the lonely spell you put on me
Its time for you to realise
That theres just no way

Shes On Fire
Well this is just between us but between us lets get high
In pictures I have seen her and to see her is truly fine
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Flowers in her evening set I get the feeling she wont forget
And theres times youd long to be her but to be her is surely blinding
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Shes on to me
And Im over me
Shes on fire
And if I could be inside her light
I would steal enough to make my way into the night
And if I could be inside her light I might just find Id be alright
Well its not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life
And this is not between us but between us lets keep getting back to where its from
Shes on fire
Shes on fire
Shes on to me
And Im over me
Shes on fire
Shes on to me
And Im over me
Shes over me
And Im on to her
Shes on fire
Shes on fire

Railroad Boy
Hear the whistle blowin so long
Tellin me I gotta move along
Coast to coast gonna steal highway
Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak
Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin a freight train
They give you such a hard time
Movin fast as my time runs out
Coal is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumblweed I aint got no roots
You know no peace in a boxcar
Just cant sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin a freight train
They give you such a hard time
(lead)
East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul
But you know
Cant stand long
Bet all rairoaders
Are singin my song

Fire Ferocious
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire!
You restless wall of flame.
Fire! Fire! Roaring higher!
Your fury to never tame.
You show no mercy – no regard:
A writhing army uncontrolled.
At least you don’t discriminate,
Selecting to exterminate:
All dealt with equal pain untold.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire!
You restless wall of flame.
Fire! Fire! Roaring higher!
Your fury to never tame.
In time of drought you run amok –
An open chimney of the land.
Prefer to scorch than suffocate:
In blinding zeal, incinerate
To blackened vista now unmanned.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire!
You restless wall of flame.
Fire! Fire! Roaring higher!
Your fury to never tame.
Destruction be your only goal
For you to vent your jealous wrath
On gentle life with caring soul
And human victims to console:
As you are none, but psychopath.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire!
You restless wall of flame.
Fire! Fire! Roaring higher!
Your fury to never tame.
So there it is – you are but flame:
Reacting gases to adorn –
With orange flicks of flailing arms,
You’re flaunting your demonic charms!
Now leave us for bereaved to mourn.
Fire! Fire! Ferocious fire!
You restless wall of flame.
Fire! Fire! Roaring higher!
Your fury to never tame.
So many lives to claim.

Here Comes Desire
Here comes desire, I can spot it a mile away
Shes on fire, I got the one thing to put out the flame
I got your number, give it up
I know you know that Im on to you
No need to fight it, lay it down
Come feel the heat in my every move
This aint no shot in the dark
Ill put it all on the line
Come down and tear me apart
Dont wait, hit me straight, right between the eyes
*here comes desire
Here comes the thrill
You got me burnin
Too hot, its overkill
Bring on the fire
Turn up the heat
Here comes desire
Buildin up inside of me
(every time youre touchin me)*
Midnight strangers, whats your action baby tell me your game
Love and danger, after midnight theyre one and the same
You use your body like a gun
Dont take no chances, shoot to kill
I got you covered, give it up
Ill give you more than a moments thrill
This aint no shot in the dark
Ill put it all on the line
Come down and tear me apart
Dont wait, hit me straight, right between the eyes
( * repeat)

Line Of Fire
It was a hot and steamy night,
Then frankie pulled his gun in sight.
He said, now suzi, dont you lie.
Did stevey, did he catch you with another guy?
Standing in the line of fire its gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire its comin to ya,
Its goin through ya.
He told her that he had been true,
And that hed never made her blue, no.
So dont go sayin steveys a liar,
Girl, Ive got my finder on a hair-trigger wire.
Standing in the line of fire its gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire its comin to ya,
Its goin through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, suzi.
So long girl.
Those gunshots echoed through the town.
Oh frankie threw his shotgun down.
That roof had moonlight shinin through.
She said shed never, never, never, make him blue, yea.
Standing in the line of fire its gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire its comin to ya,
Standing in the line of fire its gonna shoot ya.
Its goin through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, suzi.

Got Your Mind In The Gutter
Whats a man to do when hes bein acused
I hear you talkin its real bad news
Nothin happened with that girl last night
So baby wont you tell me why
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
Youre jumpin to conclusions and its plain to see
You got your mind in the gutter dont blame me
You say Im foolin round playin the field
Baby let me tell you its not big deal
No I aint gettin a little on the side
But I feel like a prisoner with both hands tied
You say you found a number on a matchbook in my coat
And lipstick smeared on my shirt
I hate to disappoint you and it scares me to death
That if your shovel aint full you just keep diggin up some dirt
Youve pushed me into a corner youve got my back to the wall
I stand accused of bein lome kind of liar
Hey I wouldnt those you down if you were on fire
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
Baby I keep those women far away from my skin
But since your minds in the gutter man I just cant win
I too her aside to give her my point of view
What you tryin to pull babe it just aint true
There should be a warnin up above your cage
Sayin dont feed the lion shes in a state of rage
How can I prove that Ive done nothin wrong
You know in your heart that youre all that I want
Youre all fired up just a little too tight
Now babe what can I tell you you just aint right
Aint got a bad reputation so why you tearin it down
Dont know what happened but your minds gone south
No I cant believe what comes out of your mouth
You got your mind in the gutter
You got your mind in the gutter
I know what youre sayin but it just aint true
Youve got your mind in the gutter baby shame on you
You say Im foolin round playin the field
Baby let me tell you its not big deal
No I aint gettin a little on the side
Baby what can I tell you you just aint right

Nothin But A Kiss
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
Youve been part of my life since you was 15
Weve been playin this game forever it seems
We dont give a damn if its wrong or right
Were just huggin and kissin almost every night
We aint lookin to go all the way
We dont look for trouble, we just play
And youre at the top of my list
We fool around, we just like to kiss, like this
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss, just like this
My heart starts pounding, and my souls on fire
If I told you different, then Id be a liar
We laid it all out and then we let it be
Theres a big difference between you and me
I dont know if its wrong or right
But weve been doin our thing most every night
I know baby, its hit or miss, but Im right on target
It aint nothin but a kiss, like this
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss, baby
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss
Your mama dont like it, your daddy dont like it
They never will leave us alone
My knees start shakin, my hands are shakin
Kissin on the telephone
Ooh, it aint nothin but a kiss
Ooh, it aint nothin but a kiss, just like this
It aint nothin but a kiss, just like this
We tell our friends, dont you get in our way
Our familys searchin all night, and then bitch all day
We dont really care what other people do
If its hide-and-seek, well too bad for you
It dont matter, win, place or show
Whatever you say, it goes
But I think if I could make a wish
Id stay here with you and we could kiss, like this
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss baby
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss baby
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss now
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss

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.

Shes On Fire
Oh, shes on fire
Oh, shes on fire
Hot to trot, shes a bit insane
Little bit of pleasure
With a little bit of pain
I got to be smokin
So I know without a doubt
Where theres the smoke
Theres the fire, so I gotta boot it out
Say oh, shes on fire
Oh, shes on fire
Only child with a hang down lip
Starve for love and you pay your chip
Little by little, catch enough to me
Shes more of a woman
And I thought shed be to me
Hungry girl, shes a city slick
Sayin the one, on a losin stick
Shes on fire
She chop my head on a guillotine
Shes my flame, shes a feather my chief

On The Run
When youre on the run
Lookin for a friend you can depend on
Your phone it never rung for days that
When youre on the run
Lookin for a friend you can depend on
Your phone it never rung for days that
When youre on the run
When youre on the runused
Used to make a stand
Right up until the day that you were wanted
Then you had to move
cause you were hunted
Anywhere you hide
Tough to find a place to lay your head down
Your phone it never rung for days that
When your on the run
When youre on the run
You better keep lookin behind you
When youre on the run
When youre on the run

Look out for the lies theyre comin down the line

Love upon the wire you gotta find out
Youre phone it never rung

Fire On Fire
Teddy gentry/ronnie rogers/greg fowler, 4:27
He was a stranger in a little town
She was sittin alone in a crowd
Listening to the old jukebox playin a song
From the moment we walked through the diner door
She felt something like never before
A feelin so strong right from the start
It wouldnt stop - it was more than a spark
Chorus:
Fire on fire they were burnin up
Over a coffee cup, under the table they touched
Fire on fire, in each others eyes they just had to try
cause fire on fire just wont die
It was gettin late but they had all night
They sat there talkin bout their lives
He was sellin, she uas gettin ready to buy
That ole neon light was glowin dim
But he could see by the way she was lookin at him
Tonight would be different, somethin had changed
His lonely heart was feelin a flame
Repeat chorus
Bridge
She needed him, he needed her
And they both knew, without a word
There was no question, there was no doubt
There was no way they could put it out
Fire on fire they were burnin up
Over a coffee cup, under the table they touched
Fire on fire, in each others eyes they just had to try
cause fire on fire, fire on fire
Fire on fire just wont die
Tag
Fire on fire
Just wont die
