Salty Salty
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
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Hey mama whats your name, hey whats it matter
You just tied up from your long voyage
Im sure gonna make you feel better
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin her duty now its understood
Chorus:
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Holy roller, lookin down
Where you think you know
All the answers
Arrogance and pride....are sin
Better look to your, own chances

To be praised

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

Claim To Fame
What gives you this crazy thought
That you can talk to my woman
Whats your claim to fame
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
Whats your claim to fame?
Whats your name?
Gonna give you just one more chance
To make amends to my woman
You got yourself to blame
Only thing thats left to do
Is to think real hard about what youre gonna do
About your crazy game
Whats your name?
Whats your name?
Who the hell do you think you are?
Whats your game?
Are you some top of the pops star?
What gives you this crazy thought
That you think you can talk to my woman
Whats your claim to fame?
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name

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.

Whats Good About Goodbye?
Goodbye!
Every face in the street, everyone that I meet
I think its you in disguise
I hear sweet angels sing, lifes a radiant thing
Im bewitched and tantalized, yeah
Whats good about goodbye?
No one ever told me
Whats good about goodbye?
Wish you could hold me
Nothing fair about fairwell
Nothing fair at all
Whats good about goodbye?
Nothing at all
Id be fooling myself, chasing anyone else
Its you that I prize
Why praise to heaven above, why praising God for sweet love?
When its you I idolize
(chorus)
Whats good, whats good
Whats good about goodbye?
Whats good, whats good
I feel bad about good goodbye
No truth in the rumour that parting is sweet
You lose your sense of humour, you feel incomplete
Theres heaven in hello, hell in goodbye
Now that youre leaving, Id rather die

Goodbye...

Hold your hand right to the end

You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him

You want love , you dont want much

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

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.

Thats what she said, pointing her gun
Your lucks on the run
Some fast talkin, quick step walkin, roadblocks ahead
You may say Im guilty but I try
Keepin our love alive

The accused in fury--clutching at straws
Its all for the cause
Circumstances blew your chances
Its understood
You mat say Im guilty but I tried
Keepin our love alive, keepin our love alive
Treadin through the grapevine
Sendin you a lifeline
Dont let it go
You may say Im guilty but I tried
Keepin our love alive

Roll yourself a joint friend
Empty your head friend
Make yourself at home friend

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
