Times Change
In a manger like christ I lay
Yellow fever, yellow hay
Feel the rhythm, sweetest sound
Making, breaking sacred ground
Id give you a piece of my love for free
But whatever I say youll never see
Acquire a taste for a different sound
Make or break it this side of town
Life will never be the same
In port-royal town, I hear it coming
The shaking of the ground
Theyre stealing in the day
In port-royal town, the children are running
Ever strange the lives we lead
So detached from the things we need
Signs of greed in everyone
Instant eviction and the blood on a gun
Just when you think youve found it
Spinning world I want to spin around it
What is wrong? this pain wont peel
The fibres of my life wont heal

On The Lonely Side Of Town
On the lonely side of town
When no one else is around
Her brown eyes cry those tears
Over her loves from the past years
Her heart is breaking without a sound
On the lonely side of town
She feels just like a clown
With tears pouring from her eyes
With no rhymn or reason why
But life has turned her upside down
On the lonely side of town
Her head is hanging down
Shaking from side to side
With not much left of her pride
There on that lonely side of town
On the lonely side of town
She is lost behind her frown
But in ways she may never know
Her love fine it's way to show
And by her love she is bound
On the lonely side of town
You can hear the old train sound
Reminding her of those days
When life glowed with brighter rays
Even on that lonely side of town
On the lonely side of town
She is loved by leaps and bounds
Even though she may not see
Love'S the only thing that's free
And it creaps up on her without a sound

Dont Look Down
Dont look down
Theyre making sorta crazy sounds
Dont look down, no
Dont know who else came to kneel
On this empty battlefield
But when I hear that crazy sound, I dont look down
From central park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From new york to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
I went this morning to the cemetary
To see old rudy valentino buried
Lipstick traces on his name
He never looked down
cause they were making crazy sounds
From central park to shanty town
He always heard that crazy sound
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
When I see you standing there
I cant see the clothes you wear
I just hear that crazy sound
And I cant look down
From central park to shanty town
Ive always heard that crazy sound
From new york to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down, no
Dont look down
Dont look, dont look down
No I wont be bored I wont be there
Look at life its no piece of cake
When I hear that crazy sound
I dont look down
From central park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
From new york to shanty town
Theres always something else
Dont look down
Dont look down, no
Well, dont look, dont look down

Running With The Boss Sound
Yesterday by the paperstand I felt the power
Of another religion
Rebels with a cause came out of the sun
And spoke the only language theyd been given
Creepers tapping out the beat as I felt the heat
Man they sure looked neat
Well tonight for sure
You could feel the same as me
We didnt have to fight
On the other side of town
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
In the day we use machines or brains
Cos we need hard cash for living
And later between tracks & raps with friends
Well find some time for loving
Stratocasters straff the sky
As disco johnny hustles by
Man those feet can fly, high
Well tonight lets dance and risk romance
Baby lets take a chance
Well make it in a single bound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
I feel it in the air and I know that youre there
We wont let you down
The phantoms of the underground
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Racing wild with the radios blasting
Out ready steady go
As we rip through the charts
Crashing like angles
At the end of rocks rainbow
Electricity runs in my blood like gods
Man if you could see it
By tonight for sure youd be the same as me
A junkie needing more
Our feet burning up the ground
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Yeah were burning up the ground
Where the rockabilly beat pounds
With the ska rhythm pressing down
Where the skinhead moon stomp pounds
Where the heavy metal comes down
When the punk rockers are round
Yeah you and I are found
Yeah you and I are found
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound
Running with the boss sound

Fire Tonight
Well, theres a hot wind blowing tonight in the east,
And I heard that the park is filled tonight with police.
On the radio theres nothing but a man saying
To stay inside.
Well, I remember what you said on the telephone,
That you didnt feel like it was safe to stay alone.
And you would get yourself to me if you could find
A way across the line.
But theres fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.
Well, theres a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air,
And I heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare.
On the tv here theyre telling me the roads are all
Closed down.
You said that if you couldnt take the car youd walk
Instead.
It was the last thing you said before the line went dead.
And now Im waiting by the window holding all the things
Of yours Ive found.
But theres fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.
I know we always said that we were free.
I know we never thought this would succeed.
But now your face is all that I can see.
But theres fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.

People Talk
If people talk then let people talk
We wont hit the ground if we are the talk of the town
People talk gossiping past
Stabbing their words with all of their stares in our back
Let the people talk
If people talk grapevine of lies
Spinning their yarns
Spreading the seeds of our harm
People talk but we know the truth let them all talk
Baby its still me and you
Well face the fears and when the rumours blow
All the names they call will never hurt
Sticks and stones may break all of our bones
But all the kings men will put us together again
People talk so let people talk
We wont hit the ground if we are the talk of the town
People talk
People talk so let people talk
We wont hit the ground if we are the talk of the town
People talk grapevine of lies
Spinning their yarns
Spreading the seeds of our harm

Listen To Me Please
Well if you want some advice
You gotta listen to me
Getta hold of your life
And you can have a new dream
Forget the ups and the downs
Theres a new game in town
For every turn in the road
Theres a new way to go
I dont hear what you say
Gonna find my own way
You just try to persuade
Everyone around you
Well make it easy for you
Plane everything that you do
Wont have to work very hard
Youll make it big from the start
Dont have to take it from me
Heres a lsit you can see
Every one of those names
They found their fortune and fame
Well it all sound so sweet
So simple, so neat
Ah but I cant believe
Anything you tell me
I know your lifes a big mistake
Lets go, this music you must face
Listen to me please, get down upon your knees
Theyll never treat you like they did before
Ill make your dreams come true
Now all I need is you
Please believe me and all this will be yours
Youll have a penthouse in town
Youll be the king with a crown
Live on country estate
Youll have a twenty foot gate
Getting tanned at the pool
Youll be making them drool
Taking trip overseas
Do anything that you please
Well I feel so alone
Where did I go so wrong?
Do you know? can you tell?
Maybe can you help me
I know, its hard for you to take
Lets go, this move you mhave to make
Listen to me please, Im down upon your knees
Theyll never treat you like they did before
Ill make your dreams come true
Now all I need is you
Please believe me and all this will be yours
Your vision will be clear, your pain will disappear
Youll know that Ill be watching over you
Ill chase your blues away
So just change your life today
Everything I say to you is true

Love Comes From The Other Side Of Town
(Fred J. Freiling)
When things get bad at home, you don't feel like being alone,
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
For the feelings we once shared are just no longer there,
And love comes from the other side of town.
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.
The life I'm livin' now just don't seem right somehow,
But it's the best way to get by that I've found.
There's no love left at home, we're both just hangin' on,
And love comes from the other side of town.
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground,
Now love comes from the other side of town.
Love comes from the other side of town

I Cant Let You Go
Do you love me women , truly do ya?
Can you feel this feeling going through ya?
Are you of the mind that we should live together through this night?
Or tell me youre my virgin queen and it may not be right.
But dont make me say , I cant let you go
And its breaking me down
Just thinking of your face and it wont be around
Just look at me now
I feel a stranger inside , stealing my pride
I cant let you go
And its breaking me down cause you wont be around
When all this world of ours is falling apart
Ill keep on hanging on and fixing my heart
cause evryone is just like me theyre praying in the sun
And I may be that lucky man surviving when theyre gone
But dont make me say , I cant let you go
And its breaking me down
Just thinking of your face and it wont be around
Just look at me now
I feel a stranger inside , stealing my pride
I cant let you go
And its breaking me down cause you wont be around
Just look at me now
I feel a stranger inside , stealing my pride
I cant let you , cant let you go
And its breaking my down cause you wont be around
Just look at me now , I cant let you go
Just look at me now , I cant let you go
Just look at me now , I cant let you go
Just look at me now , I cant let you go (fade out)

Love
Baby weve been through a lot
And times sure have changed
Everybodys leaving town
Looking for better things
But I found what I want
And I got no problem working
I wish to god
That my heart would stop hurting
Shops closing down
Factories outdated
People so frustrated
My whole life is changing
Just trying to find some solid ground
A little house with a picket fence
Hows that sound
Love is all I need
Love is all I need
Ive seen tears that are
Falling like leaves from the trees
Houses boarded up and they
Threw away the keys
But this town is where were born
And this town is where were staying
Ill never ever turn my back
On you ever again
Come on lets be together
I got some money put aside
And if I make it big
Would you take a little ride
Would you promise to always
Stay by my side
Woudl you give me true love
And have nothing to hide
Would you give my your love
Would you give me your love
Would you give me your love
If you want to give me your love babe
Its alright
Its alright
Its alright
We can make a change in our life babe
Tonight
Its alright
Its alright

Coming Around
Never see you coming around
They know they got their heads screwed on
I'm standing in the middle of town
I know I might never come home
Just standing where I am with all the people passing by me
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in with the bus and motor-car
I must be sure these are the signs
Cos I've been here a million times before
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town,
hunting you down Bringing you round
Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Cos I was fine till you came along
You tell me that the tears of a clown
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind
So far away I wanna be
That's not as close to you and me
The things they call our destiny
Now why do you have to pick on me at all?
My walls are coming down
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Coming around
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, dragging you down
Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, just dragging you down
It's coming around
Coming around

Our Town
Written by ricky & marty wilde
This is your town, this is my place
This is where my whole world is lived in
Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights
Its a high town, its a low town
Its get here, come on you grow town
No-one does, but everyone thinks theyre gonna make it soon
This is one place I respected
Now I feel its really dejected
No-one cares and the people just stare
And a man on the box says
Hey you, dont walk away, vote for me
Youll get more pay, keep working hard
But they work slow
Here it comes now, sunday morning
Just another sleepy town yawning
Down below everything looks just like another day
But, in the warm glow of the sunrise
Theres a child whos searching with young eyes
Looking round and feeling inside hes gonna fly away
There was one time I was leaving
But the folks around me kept grieving
Friends said go, but my dad said no
And my mum kept saying
Dont go, dont go away
Dont leave us, youve got to stay
Just raise them kids, oh mother no
No prospects, just projects
Dont try to tell me were living
Theres no real need to try
Cant you see this town gonna die
Hail the new age, its a rat cage
Join the place for breeding dumb spieces
All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
Show the people just what theyre missing
Wake up, wake up, cant you believe in what Im telling you
Theres a house where I was born in
Now its changed without any warning
Cranes just crash and bricks just smash
While a billboards saying
Lets go, lets get away
Come fly me, youve weeks to pay
When sunshine calls, but I wont go
This is our town

Big Town
I discovered a big town
On the crest of a wave
Throwing money at strangers
Taking candy from babes
Shaking hands in a big top
As the rain came down
I though it would not stop
Sending letters to paris
From the empire state
Taking pictures from the top
Theres alot of things
For you to do
Theres alot of dreams
That wont come true
I grew up in a big town
The lessons were not hard to learn
If you want them to love you
Then you must not love them in return
Spent the night at a party
Where I drank so much
I fell under your spell
Eight oclock in the morning
And the daylight makes me
Look and feel like hell
Theres alot of things
For you to do
Theres alot of dreams
That wont come true
Theres alot of things
For you to do
Theres alot of dreams
That wont come true
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry
When you live in a big town
There are sights and sounds
That make you want to cry

It's Just A Song (Lyric) :
You hear the sound of the song.
It's coming on real strong.
It gives you a sense of strength.
it filters through the air.
It lifts you off the ground.
We hear from town to town.
It's just a song-sung-long.
A sing-a-long-song-sung.
It's just a song.
it's just a song.
A sing-a-long-song-sung.
It's just a song.
It takes you out in space.
Closer to second base.
It follows through so cool.
The smoothest thing for you.
A sound that sounds so clear.
A sound you'll want to hear.
It's just a song-sung-long.
A sing-a-long-song-sung.
It's just a song.
It's just a song.
It's just a-song-sung-long.
A sing-a-long-song-sung.
It's just a song.
It sends you through the air.
A sound that makes you high.
It makes you feel so good.
A sound that always should.
Just lifts you off the ground.
We hear from town to town.
It's just a-song-sung-long.
A sing-a-long-song-sung.
It's just a song.
It's just a song.
It's just a-song-sung-long.
A sing-a-long-song-sung.
It's just a song.
it's just a song..

Small Town Girl
(arnold goland / aaron. h. schroeder)
Am I just a small town girl
With big town dreams
That wont come true?
Thinking everything that means anything to me
Means something to you, too?
Am I just a small town girl?
Hey, big town boy
Dont let me down
You know I got it real bad
I gotta make good somehow
cause thats all theyre saying now
(shes a small town girl with big town dreams)
(big town dreams that never will come true)
Yeah, Im just a small town girl with big town dreams
But, just you wait
Ill make em all come true, yes I will
Oh, take this little small town girl, yeah
In your arms and hold her tight
Make her life start tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on and take this little small town girl
With big town dreams that wont come true
Come on and make her dreams
cause she loves you
Come on now, big town boy
Come on, dont let her down
You gotta fill my heart

Its Over
I wont be here when you come home
Im sorry if you dont understand, forgive me if you can
But I can see another road
And I aint coming back
Dont look for me around this town
cause I will be so far away, youll never find me anywhere
And I wont take no souvenirs
No perfumed picture promises
Because its over
And I aint coming back
You gave me everything
And now Im breaking your heart
You know that I dont mean
To tear your world apart
I would never leave if I thought you couldnt stand the pain
A letter in the hall
Is written on the wall
A letter with no words of love at all
Because its over (because its over)
And I aint coming back
And as I close the door
I know Im breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead Ive torn your world apart
And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough
I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please dont hate me then
I just could not pretend oh no
Feel the tears
I can feel the tears
Running through the years

I feel pretty good
I feel all right
And Ive been thinkin maybe
I could spend the night
I know youve been sad
I know Ive been bad
But if youd let me
Make you ribbons from a paper bag
Chorus:
Josephine
Youre so good to me
And I know
It aint easy
Josephine
Youre so sweet
You must taste just like sugar & tangerines
I wont make a sound
Sleep on the ground
When you wake I will
Drive you into town
I missed your smile
Your schoolgirl style
But I never had much fun
Maybe the very first mile
(chorus)
Dont you know
I watched you walkin home from school
Your friends on the old playgrounds
You never looked so down
Wont you come and help me with these cuts of mine?
Ive disconnected my heart
And cut myself on the wires

I know I was wrong
I knew all along
But I got so far from my home
I never thought Id be so lonesome

Run Tonto Run
Dont even try
Dont want no piece of your sky
And I wont look back
Cause your blue is all black
Your twisted frown
Is really upside down
And it wont last long
Cause your right is all wrong
You live in a box
Miniature hands, tiny sox
Your love is a sigh
It just passes me by
Im gonna run tonto run
Pale hollow frame
Run tonto run
Youve let your blood in vein
Run tonto run away
Dont undress desire
Its always on fire
Strange hour fall down
Im gonna burn down this town
A splinter in my vein
A volcano under rain
Alt (your love the desert sands)
Alt (go cut your hands)
Your in love with your clone
Which means youre alone
Im gonna run tonto run
Pale hollow frame
Run tonto run
Youve let your blood in vein
Run tonto run away
You disappear just like a wrapper in a candy store
And I am left wanting more
And dont even think
This ship wont sink
I wont hesitate
Youll choke on your hate
Im gonna run tonto run
Pale hollow frame
Run tonto run
Youve let your blood in vein
Run tonto run away
You better run tonto run
You better run tonto run
You better run tonto run away
And dont even try
Dont want no piece of your sky
And I wont hesitate
Its already too late
Alt (and I wont look back)
Alt (cause your blue is all black)
