Shanghaid In Shanghi

Standing on a corner in downtown l.a.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says too bad, too sad
You know that hes been dead and gone.
L.a. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscows looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the k.g.b. came on the line.
Its a cold one, bein sent down
Its gotta be fifty below
Mama heres a postcard to let you know
Im in a saltmine and looking for coal
ShanghaId in shanghai
Stood on in tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Flyin across the desert from texas to tuscon
But were headed for a southern star
The captain says its fine in havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.
Hes a big one, hes got a big gun
I guess we better go along
Mister weve got a gig in arizona
Second billing to the rolling stones
ShanghaId in shanghai
Stood on in tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
ShanghaId in shanghai
Laid low in frisco
Done in and left behind for dead

Shanghai'd In Shanghai (US Version)

Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says "too bad, too sad"
You know that he's been dead and gone.
L.A. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the K.G.B. came on the line.
It's a cold one, bein' sent down
It's gotta be fifty below
Mama here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon
But we're headed for a southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.
He's a big one, he's got a big gun
I guess we better go along
Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
Second billing to the Rolling Stones
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Laid low in 'Frisco

Chan Hitchhikes To Shanghai

Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
He took a trip to see his mother,
And she was sick, how he got over, he took pride in everything he did,
Never had a harsh word?
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Works on the snow, works in the wind,
How does he travel? whos with him?
Didnt think chan had a family,
Grew accustomed to a symphony, chan held on to his mystery,
Chan, whaty doin man?
Say chan, I wrote this song about you man,
It goes, chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Miss his cooking, sense of humour,
Miss his timing, his discipline, wee all miss chan but we cant advoid,
Now theres an empty space (? ),
Goin to give to leave his job,
Hes the only man, I wrote this song,
Hey, chan, whaty doin man?
Say chan, I wrote this song about you man,
It goes, chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Hitchhikes, hitchhikes,
To shanghai, hitchhikes, to shanghai,
Chan,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan goes to shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to shanghai,
Chan, hitchhikes, oh chan, anyway you can
Ha, come back chan, come back chan,
Shanghai chan,
Shanghai chan,
Shanghai chan,
Come back chan..

Shanghai Breezes

This song appears on nine albums, and was first released on the seasons of the heart album, and has also been released on the greatest hits vol 3, favourites, a portrait, the very best of john d
(double cd), country classics, the country roads collection and the rocky mountain collection albums. a live version also appears on the wildlife concert album.
Its funny how you sound as though youre right next door
When youre really half a world away
I just cant seem to find the words Im looking for
To say the things that I want to say
I cant remember when I felt so close to you
Its almost more than I can bear
And though I seem half a million miles from you
You are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And lovers who walk all alone
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark
And lovers who long for home
Oh, I couldnt leave you even if I wanted to
Youre in my dreams and always near
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you
You are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing evenings sweet caress
Shanghai breezes soft and gentle remind me of your tenderness
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Its the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old shanghai
Just like the breezes here in old shanghai

Ive Been Kicked Around

Well Ive been kicked around
What do you see
Am I alright?
Im alright
I once had a heart
I was ripped from it
Chewed up then spat out
Like a cherry pit
And if I seem a little hard
Its just that Ive been kicked around
I dont know how I got this far
The way that Ive been kicked around
Uh huh
Well Ive been kicked around
What do you see
Am I alright?
Am I alright?
Well Ive been kicked around
What do you see
Am I alright?
Am I alright?
I once had a soul
It was torn from me
I wont cry a tear
I will carry me
And if I seem a little hard
Its just that Ive been kicked around
I dont know how I got this far
The way that Ive been kicked around
Dont worry, Im all right
So if I seem a little hard
Its just that Ive been kicked around
I dont know how I got this far
The way that Ive been kicked around
The way that Ive been kicked around
The way that Ive been kicked around
The way that Ive been kicked around
The way that Ive been kicked around
The way that Ive been kicked around
The way that Ive been kicked around

Guess I'm Doin' Fine

Well, I ain't got my childhood
Or friends I once did know.
No, I ain't got my childhood
Or friends I once did know.
But I still got my voice left,
I can take it anywhere I go.
Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.
And I've never had much money
But I'm still around somehow.
No, I've never had much money
But I'm still around somehow.
Many times I've bended
But I ain't never yet bowed.
Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.
Trouble, oh trouble,
I've trouble on my mind
Trouble, oh trouble,
Trouble on my mind.
But the trouble in the world, Lord,
Is much more bigger than mine.
Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.
And I never had no armies
To jump at my command.
No, I ain't got no armies
To jump at my command.
But I don't need no armies,
I got me one good friend.
Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.
I been kicked and whipped and trampled on,
I been shot at just like you.
I been kicked and whipped and trampled on,
I been shot at just like you.
But as long as the world keeps a-turnin',
I just keep a-turnin' too.
Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.
Well, my road might be rocky,
The stones might cut my face.
My road it might be rocky,
The stones might cut my face.
But as some folks ain't got no road at all,
They gotta stand in the same old place.
Hey, hey, so I guess I'm doin' fine.

My Old Kentucky Home

Turpentine and dandelion wine
Ive turned the corner and Im doin fine
Shootin at the birds on the telephone line
Pickin em off with my gun of mine
I got a fire in my belly
And a fire in my head
Goin higher and higher
Until Im dead
Sister sue, shes short and stout
She didnt grow up - she grew out
Mama says shes plain but shes just bein kind
Papa thinks shes pretty but hes almost blind
Dont let her out much cept at night
But I dont care cause Im all right
Oh, the sun shines bright on
My old kentucky home
And the young folks roll on the floor
Oh, the sun shines bright on
My old kentucky home
Keep them hard times away from my door
Brother gene, hes big and mean
And he dont have much to say
He had a little woman who he whupped each day
But now shes gone away
He got drunk last night
Kicked mama down the stairs
But Im all right so I dont care

When The Morning Comes

I went downtown to see milady
She stood me up and I stood there waiting
But itll be all right when the morning comes
Now Im up in the air with the rain in my hair
Ive got nowhere to go, so I can go anywhere
And itll be all right when the morning comes
Just in passing, Im not asking that you can be anyone but you
When you come home try to come home alone
Its so much better with two
Now Im out in the cold and Im getting old
Standing here waiting on you
But itll be all right when the morning comes

Silver Dollar Forger

Swingin my sweet chariot low
Gotta make it home to georgia
Excise lawman on my trail
Im a silver dollar forger
I see a road block on my right
Engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.
Twenty miles from that georgia state
I can hear the sirens wailing
If only I can cross that line
And leave the police trailing
I see a red light at my rear
Now Im sweatin cold steel fear
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.
Im tired of all this running
Hiding from the light
I want to walk out in the sun
Ill soon be home I can see the clay
Ill soon be in atlanta
If only I can hold that line
I can live just how I want to
I see the state line in my lights
Engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.

Lonely Together

Music & Lyrics by Kenny Nolan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your eyes are sad eyes
Mine are too
It doesn't take too much to see
What we've been through
You lost your baby
And me the same
Ain't it true how love's a hurtin' game
Could I have this dance
May I be so bold
It's just my arms are empty
And the night is so cold
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone
A heart that's hurtin's
Not hard to see
I guess he promised you the world
Like she did me
But dry your eyes now
You'll be just fine
We can drown our achin' hearts in this glass of wine
Well I hate to say
What's done is done
It's just two can ease the pain
Much better than one
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone
Love
It's such a crazy thing
All you got to give and no regrets
But love
It can live again
Stay with me tonight
I'll make it work out right
Wouldn't it be fine bein' lonely together
Wouldn't it be fine havin' a shoulder to share
You could tell me how he broke your heart
And I'll tell you how she broke mine
And maybe later on I could take you home
Now wouldn't it be sad bein' lonely all alone

Very Fine Love

(bob dipiero / jim photoglo)
I never knew how good love could be
All Id ever known was make believe
So many times Ive played the fool
Baby, til I met you
Now everything has fallen in place
You can tell by the smile on my face
For every lonely tear that Ive cried
Im that much satisfied
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
You know it when you find one
Shining like a diamond
Its so fine, fine, very fine love
How did I ever live without your love?
Its the only thing Im certain of
No matter what Im going through
I know I can count on you
You are more precious to me every day
Life is better now in every way
You dont have to lay the world at my feet
You have made my world complete
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love, oh, oh
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
You know it when you find one
Shining like a diamond
Its so fine, so fine, very fine love
Ive got no apprehensions
Youve got the best intentions
Weve got a, weve got a, weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
Weve got a fine, fine, very fine love
A very fine
A very fine love
Very fine love, ah, ha, ooh, hoo
So fine, hey, so fine
So good, so good love

Jet Lag

Im goin back to new york city
Times square sure will be shinin bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I dont go down every night.
Im gonna take in memphis
You know the one down in tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now thats the place to be.
Sittin in a bar in macon
Drinkin something called rebel yells
When I thought I heard someone ringing
I guess shes a southern bell.
We just cut out of el paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if youve ever been down there man
Then you know why we run.
I got jet lag
And livin out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the u.s.a.
Tryin hard to make a phone call
Long distance over seas
Yes maam I did say scotland
Could you spell that again for me please
You know that it just blew my mind
Id love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time.
Driving down a detroit freeway
Just lookin at those concrete walls
Hey but its a good town to rocknroll in
What do you mean the police closed the God damned hall?
Flyin home tomorrow
To be theres gonna be just great
And after some time with my lady
Im gonna be back to rocknroll in the states.

Kinda Girls We Like

Oooooooooh. ooooooooooooh. oooooooooooh. oooooooooooh.
Oooooooooh. ooooooooooooh. oooooooooooh. oooooooooooh.
Oooooooooh. ooooooooooooh. oooooooooooh. oooooooooooh.
We came out before.
Now were back again.
Singin the kinda girls we like
Now is this the end
Were about to blast off
So hold on real tight.
While michael tells you
The kinda girl he likes.
Hey, I like a girl who likes to tease
Not the kinda girl whos always there to please
The kinda girl who makes up her mind
When she ...(I never knew this part)...her given time.
The kinda girl whom you always think about.
Thats the kinda girl whom you cant be without.
Im michael b. thats the girl for me.
Shes the only girl I could never leave.
Youve heard one description
Now listen to this.
Because this one for sure
You cant afford to miss.
So turn up the volume
And open your ears.
Because this next description
Is for you my dear.
Well, my friends call me flash b (is that right)
And heres the kinda girl thats just for me.
I like a girl that is right on time.
Shes also sweet and shes oh so fine.
I like a nice young lady with beautiful hair
So if you want to be with bob you gotta care
She give me her love.
She give me her time.
This kinda girl is mine all mine.
Youve heard two descriptions
Now here comes the third.
And its flyer (is that a word? from the word: fly :-) havent heard that one in a long time) than anything
That youve ever heard.
We love all you girls without any doubt.
And as long as you know this,
Yyou wont feel left out.
I like a nice young lady with class and style
And when Im with her she makes it worth my while.
You know that...(what? )..has to be
Just the right girl for ricky.
I like a nice young lady who likes to have fun
So if you fit this description
I said, hey girl, dont hesitate.
If you want me, Ill be your playmate.
Im ronnie d and Id love to meet.
A girl that would knock me off my feet.
A girl thats fine and divine.
A girl that wants to be all mine.
A girl that can grant my every wish
Is the girl I want to love and cherish.
I promise you that if you are true.
Tell me girl if it could be you.
Youve heard the last.
Were running out of time.
But wait just a minute theres one last line.
Now listen to this
And keep that in mind.
And were sure that this next rap
Will blow your mind.
Yes, I like a girl that will stay with me.
A girl thats a pretty sight to see.
A girl with style and much finesse.
A girl thats smart and wants the best.
I like a girl with a pretty smile.
A girl that stands out in a pile.
But most of all on top of all above.
Ralph needs a girl that he can love.
We came out before.
Now were back again.
Singin the kinda girls we like
Now is this the end
Now Im sure youll agree
Our deep words are divine.
But if you fit the description ,
Youll do just fine fine fine fine fine fine

Two Young Lovers

It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said, i dont dance
He said, baby let me teach you
She said, o.k., when?
He said, how can I reach you baby
Id really like to see you again
He picked her up on a friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet
And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor
Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek
And he walked her home and he kissed her
He was walking on air all week
Well, they couldnt stand to be apart
They couldnt leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, its getting late sweetheart
Its time that boy went home
And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said, heres to the two young lovers
Lets wish em every happiness
It was the last day of summer
They came walking home hand in hand
They went and told her mama
They showed her the wedding band
Mama cried and poured the wine
Papa just said God bless
Now, heres to the two young lovers
Lets wish em every happiness

Medicated Head

It seems more than not,
That something blown out of the box...
Starts over nothing.
To leave one's peace disrupted.
And people deciding that conflicts fit,
With an advantage that provides benefits.

Can a life be lived enjoyed,
With a medicated head that's ripped.
Can a life be lived enjoyed,
Pretending none of this exists.
Can a life be lived enjoyed,
Drifting high and strickly blissed...
With,
A medicated head instead.
And...
Playing possum as if dead.

Can a life be lived enjoyed,
With a medicated head instead.
Can one's life be lived enjoyed...
Playing possum as if one's dead.

Ripped and blissed...
Can a medicated head stay fed.
To be,
Ripped and blissed...
Will a medicated head wish no repair.

It seems more than not,
That something blown out of the box...
Starts over nothing.
To leave one's peace disrupted.
And people deciding that conflicts fit,
With an advantage that provides benefits.

Can a life be lived enjoyed,
With a medicated head that's ripped.
Can a life be lived enjoyed,
Pretending none of this exists.
To be,
Ripped and blissed...
Will a medicated head really care.
To be,
Ripped up and blissed...
Will a medicated head prefer to stay there.

Ripped up and blissed!
To be...
Ripped and blissed!
To be...
Ripped up and blissed!
Will a medicated head wanting it right there.
Ripped up and blissed!
To be...
Ripped and blissed!
To be...
Ripped up and blissed!
Will a medicated head stay there.

Down Town

(words and music by duran duran)
Deliver use from evil, we go with the flow.
Heres a little secret, I think you ought to know.
Providers and abusers, they know where to go.
With sundays refugees, from sunday tv shows.
(downtown!) all of the way down
(downtown!) all of the way downtown
(downtown!) all of the way down
(downtown!) all of the way downtown..
Lets sink imagination, past your wildest while (all of the way downtown)
Go way delow, below, below, is it such a crime?
Ahhhh the uptown, cant teach you how to live,
They dont have the time
cos where Im gonna take you, is a state of mind.
Ahhoouu
(chorus)
You better learn to use your heart
You gotta loose your money
You better use it all up
cos you cant take it with you when youre going down..
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown
All of the way downtown
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown (down, down)
All of the way downtown
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown
All of the way downtown
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown...

Long Twin Silver Line

Words and music by bob seger
Well the big train keeps on rolling
Rolling on down the track
And the way shes moving buddy
I dont believe shes a-coming back
The firemans smoking a big cigar
Sipping lafite rothschild bordeaux
And the engineers so happy
Hes just a-letting that whistle blow
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line
Well she just blazed through chicago
Nonstop to l.a.
And the way shes steaming buddy
You better not get in her way
Shes got the finest fastest pulling twin diesels
Shes got ninety three cars in tow
Shes gonna be on time
All the way down the line
Come the rain hail sleet or snow
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on right on time
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line
Rolling on down the line
And she just passed in chicago
Rolling into kansas too
Rolling into denver
Doing all shell do
And she hangs a big left in salt lake city
Southwest to the nevada line
Rolling into california
Right on time
Rolling on down the line

Drinkin my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday
Poormans party, rich mans daughter,
Gettin hotter and hotter.
Shes pushin way too hard
I dont want any part of her way
Drinkin my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday.

Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I dont want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I dont want to be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just dont know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
Drinkin my wine, wastin my time
Hidin out in my rented dream
Lookin for attention

Life magazine
Ask the chauffeur who he knows
Numbers hes got, lots of those.
Drinkin my wine, spendin my time
Tryin to run from this halloween.
Its a holiday, its a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I dont want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I dont wanna be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just dont know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
I dont know who my daddy is.

Prospects

A train ride to tuesday
A platform far away
Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey
Awaking, arriving
The dirty station where
He passes crowds of people who dont see him there
Heres a desert island room
For a man whos cast away
Stranded in this home from home
>from his family
Far away
Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home
One shoe-lace cardboard suitcase
One passport from the queen
One room for a light bulb
Where no-ones been
Sticks and stones, my old bones
Not like nineteen fifty-four
Then the liked me fine
But not anymore
This empty room
Where hes marooned
With nothing left to say
But in the dark
He thinks of home far away
Home.
Well this is it
This is it
Is this my heart
I miss you with all my heart
This is not
Is this not
My home
I feel cold, getting old
More than the climates changed
Stranded on this island
The rate of exchange
Heres a desert island room
For a man whos cast-away
Today he will not be at work
There is no work anyway
How is it when you feel it
Do you wonder what gets you down
Youre looking in the windows
When you walk this town

The Line Is Fine

Look at me I'm so disgusting
I will never find another
Quite like you
You make me blue
With the things you do
Look at you you're so familiar
We could be so cool together
All the time
Could all be fine
We're on the line
The line is fine
Open up mah window
The line is fine
Standing on the ledge
Well I don't look down
Looking at the people
Well they all look fine
It's not just life or death
Yesterday we talked together
But tonight it's just the weather
Chillin' me
What's the point in silly talking
We could get there quicker walking
Down the line
could all be fine
But we're on the line
The line is fine
But staring at the faces
Standing in a row
Think of all the places
That they have yet to go
They don't know
