Hit The Fan
Why dont you tell me that its over
Why do you keep this hangin on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Say what you mean and see it done
Why dont you cut me loose, you dont need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
Theres nothin left you can say to please me
Youre just a dog whos had its day
You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold
You used to lead the dance and fumble
Howl in the night you could not sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap.

One From The Heart
Ive seen that girl before, Ive seen the boys come and go
And still shes on her own
Ive seen those tears before, Ive seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone
There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
She knows the dangers there,these love affairs
Run hot, run cold and always take their toll
Its another lonely night inside those empty rooms
She knows will never be a home
There must be etc.
For one from the heart
Shes on her knees
One from the heart, thats all she needs
One from the heart, she can believe
Ive seen that girl before, Ive seen boys that come and go
And still shes on her own
I hope somewhere, somehow,ssomeday
Shell find that special one before her heart turns cold.

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.

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.

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.

Whiteboy
Send him to the fields, send him to the wars
Send him on down to slave on the farms
Steal his land, rob his soul
Send him on down to dig that hole
Give him no hope, give him no trial
Put him in chains, break that smile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Listen to him singin, hear him wail
You wouldnt do that to a whiteboy
You wouldnt do that to a whiteboy
You wouldnt do that to a whiteboy
Give him no peace, give him no rest
Teach him to believe your God is the best
Sail him away, to the promised land
Send him on down into his masters hand
Take his woman, take his child
Take him on down to the murder mile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Whats that song you hear him wail
Now you wonder why hes an angry man
Why theres fire in your fathers land
And wonder now what tomorrow will bring
Will you hear him screamin, will you hear him sing.

Hey sailor, what you think, hey buy a girl a drink
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

Doin her duty now its understood

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.

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

Cover Your Heart
Another day alone, another pain to hide
Its gettin hard to hold, its hurtin deep inside
Livin for no-one, given no space to run
Theres gotta be someone you gotta keep holdin on
It wasnt meant to last, you werent meant to fall
And all the photographs you want to burn them all
But goin down easy isnt so crazy now
Nobody needs you but dont let it get you down
Cover your heart
Dont let anyones lovin get a hold of you
Cover your heart
Cause it never does nothin its supposed to do
You used to have it all there all a love could be
But now the dreams you shared are just a memory
For all the wrong reasons you want it all, even now
Caught on the rebound turnin you inside out
Cover your heart
Dont let anyones lovin get a hold of you
Cover your heart
Cause it never does nothin its supposed to do
Cover your heart
For all the wrong reasons you want it all, even now
Caught on the rebound turnin you inside out
Cover your heart
Cover your heart

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.

Cinema
You can have girls and girls
You can have boys and boys
You can have sex and violence
You can have space age toys
You can have anything that you think will fit
As long as its box office, as long as its a hit
Cinema, cinema
You can have birdmen and snowmen
You can have women in red
Hero taxi drivers talk about evil dead
Black hats and white hats you know what I mean
A flashdance welder and jesus in jeans
Cinema, cinema
Norma jean has gone with the wind
And well never, never see her no more
Jimmy dean you drove that machine
Chased a dream, chased a dream
Weve been up the junction, down the yellow brick road
Weve got beauty with beast
And a prince with a toad
Weve got future adventures
You believe man can fly
Put on your 3-d glasses
Get a shark in the eye

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

Everytime It Rains
No feeling when you told me goodbye
No reason when youre living a lie
Dont tell me what I already know
Im living memories of long ago
I fool myself, I deny it all
Wanna hide it away
Lost moments never caring enough
I was never good at playing it tough
Still living in my own little world
Still believing youre the only one
Its always hard, never easier
To face another day alone
Every time it rains I fall apart
I start to remember
Every single time it rains
I think of you.

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

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

Guide me in my eyes of blindness

Dont disguise your innuendos

Dont betray my trusted promise

Keep it a secret if you can
If you see my baby

Dont tell me even if you can

So if you think you are my friend
I hope you never see her
With another man
But if you do dont you understand

Dont Leave Me Now
Dont leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
And the shadows start to fall
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Dont leave me now
Dont leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When Im old and cold and grey and time is gone...

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

Come Cryin To Me
(john rich/wally wilson/mark d. sanders)
I can see it in your eyes
Youre livin a troubled life
And youve been hurtin more and more these days
You dont have to hide it
Dont even have to fight it
Baby all you have to do is just turn and walk away
When youre tired of it all
And tears need to fall
You backs to the wall
Come cryin to me
You dont have to be strong
You dont have to hold on
Youve been there too long
Come cryin to me
Ill leave the living room light
Burning all night
No dont even pack
Dont even look back
Baby come cryin to me
You can get beyond this
All those empty promises
They dont have to hold you down no more
Nothin to explain to me
You dont even need a key
All you gotta do is knock and Ill unlock the door
When youre tired of it all
And tears need to fall
You backs to the wall
Come cryin to me
You dont have to be strong
You dont have to hold on
Youve been there too long
Come cryin to me
Ill leave the living room light
Burning all night
No dont even pack
Dont even look back
Baby come cryin to me
Ill leave the living room light
Burning all night
No dont even pack
Dont even look back
Baby come cryin to me
Baby come cryin to me
Baby come cryin to me
