Nobody Knows You When Youre Down & Out
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didnt care
Takin my friends out for a mighty good time
Drinkin high priced liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Couldnt buy me no friends, have no place to go
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
Im gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grins
I said nobody knows you when youre down and out
In your pocket, you aint got one penny
And your friends, you didnt have any
Just as soon as you get up on your feet again
Everybody wants to be your long-lost friend
Oh lord without a doubt
Nobody wants you, nobody needs you nobody wants you
When youre down and out
I say nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when youre down and out

Nobody Knows You When Youre Down & Out
Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, no, I didnt care
Takin my friend john out for a mighty good time
Buyin high-priced liquor, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Didnt have a friend, nor no place to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again
Im goin to hold on to it until the eagle grins.
Soon as I get back up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend.
Its might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when youre down and out.
Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again
Everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
Its mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when youre down and out.
Thats what I mean when youre down and out.

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Well once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money, I didn't care
Takin' my friends out for a mighty good time
Buyin' boot leg liquor, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Couldn't find me no friends
Had no place to go
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it, till the eagle grins
I said nobody knows you

In your pocket, you ain't got one penny

Here they all come, they say that they're your long-lost friend
Oh lord without a doubt

(jimmie cox)
Once I lived the life
Of a millionaire
Spending my money
Oh I didnt care
Taking my friends out
For a mighty good time
Oh wed drink that good gin
Champagne and wine
But oh just as soon
As my money got low
I couldnt find nobody
And I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
Im gonna hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah, now listen
Now in your pocket
Theres not one penny
And all of them good friends
You found out you havent got any
Nobody come around
But the landlord and the taxman
Your ex-wife who says
She wants more alimony
Then theres a knock on the door
And its a woman you dont know
Says shes having your baby
Shell walk on in
But oh just as soon
As the money roll in
Here they all come sayings
That theyre youre long lost friends
But if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again
I believe, I believe Ill hold on
Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out
Nobody wants you
When youre down and out

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
Im gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
cause no, no, nobody knows you
When youre down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you dont have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said its mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when youre down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said its mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when youre down and out.

Friends Will Be Friends
Words and music by freddie mercury and john deacon
Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
Its not easy love but youve got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When youre in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When youre through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End
Now its a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
Youre getting used to life without him in your way
Its so easy love cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When youre in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When youre through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End
Its so easy love cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When youre in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When youre through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos friends will be friends right till the
End
Friends will be friends
When youre in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When youre through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hands cos right till the end-
Friends will be friends

Far Behind
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And not maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble
As you falter to the ground
And now maybe
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no
Couldnt share the pain they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what Ive known
Yes maybe we might share in something great
But wont you look at where weve grown
Wont you look at where weve gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life
So soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didnt meant to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
No, no, no
Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
No maybe some would say youre left with what you had
But you couldnt share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hold you down
Hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didnt mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind

Sorry Charlie
Things didnt work out the way you had planned it
Things fell apart at the seams
Whats yours is what you took with you
And what you have has shattered their dreams
And now youre cold and sleepy
Christ, how did it come to this
Hold on to those you thought were your loved ones
Theyll be the ones you miss
And now youre standing at the station
Tryin to take what I aint got to give
Oh and Im so sorry charlie
Ive got my own life to live
Just call your friends at college
Wonder why you didnt stay
And my boss is coming down soon chuck
Hes drunk so you cant stay
No, you cant stay
You did nothing to deserve this
God didnt treat you square
Oh it all slipped through your fingers
And it all seems so unfair
And your girlfriend, shes in high school
She says she loves you a lot
Lord knows she cant support you
So you better sell more pot
And now youre standing at the station
Tryin to take what I aint got to give
Oh and Im so sorry charlie
Ive got my own life to live
So you just call your friends at college
Wonder why you didnt stay
And my boss is coming down soon chuck
Hes drunk and you cant stay
No, you cant stay
Sorry charlie -- sorry charlie -- oww!

Safer Hands
Little hand held high, I reached for you, innocent and small
Never felt so safe, no wider smile, I had it all
No worries at all, little girl just three, she couldnt see
What there would be, clearer than you think, my memory
He treasured me, protected me
Wherever you have gone to, my mind is settled, youre in safer hands
Although youve gone for good now, my mind is settled, youre in safer hands
The day you left, no warning came, I was sleeping
Maybe it was your undying love, you didnt wake me, didnt take me
Now the years have flown and I have grown, there is a yearning
Give me just one day, to while away, to that Im drinking: wishful thinking
Wherever you have gone to, my mind is settled, youre in safer hands
Although youve gone for good now, my mind is settled, youre in safer hands
Even though its years, so long ago, there is a presence here
If there was some doubt, its all over now
Of that Im certain, theres no question
Wherever you have gone to, my mind is settled, youre in safer hands
Although youve gone for good now, my mind is settled, youre in safer hands

What Are You Doin In My Life?
Well you followed me all around new york city
Tryin to make people think I wanted you with me
I can only hope that they didnt believe you
I can t figure out why I got to deal with you
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask for you
I dont know how you got my telephone number
Probably some jerk try in to put me under
Some friend of a friend of a friend of mine
Baby who you tryin to fool when you tell those lies?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask fo r you
Well this is all a little too much to believe
Youre puttin my name all around in the street
Honey where did you think this was gonna lead?
Baby will you tell me what you want from me?
Well youre the last woman in the world that thrills me
Now you got my girlfriend tryin to kill me
Honey my friends think that Ive gone crazy
Cant you figure out that you aint my baby
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
What are you doin in my life?
I didnt ask for you

I stand alone in my room, too blue to even cry
So doggone tired of livin, I could lay right down and die
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well you promised me your love, a love that would be true
You didnt keep your promise and I dont care what I do
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well I file my fingernails, staring at the wall
Dont wanna see my friends or anyone that comes to call
Youre the cause of it all
Well, youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well the low down dirty blues are closing in on me
My soul is wetted down with so much misery
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all

Hey, hey cowboy, hey cowboy
Aint I seen you hanging around the nashville?
Didnt you used to be a packy back in the west end?
Is that right, is that right?
Well I see you been through so many changes
Heavy changes
I cant say Im hip to where youre coming from
I cant say I hip to where youre going
Well I see somethings growing in the back of your mind
I give you the willies
You dont like my kind
But I can sing like a jingle
Sting as bad as any
Hey, that you? is that still you?
Youre looking mighty new wave
I hardly recognize you with that shish kabob through your face
But thats all right, yeah, thats all right
I guess youre trying to make a statement
You been out on the street
Looking for somebody to carve on
Well you can ramble,
Just dont go carving on me
cause I dont mind the fashion
Ive lived with your mind
I dig on the passions
The rest is just crap
I can sing like a jingle
And sting as bad as any
Hey, dont I know you?
Aint I seen you before?
Yeah, youre the one doing a pyramid party
Down in marina del ray
With their spoon and friends
Still going through them changes
You got your pants full of money
And your nose in the air
Youre a record producer
I dont really care
cause I can sing like a jingle
Sting as bad as any

Hold On To Your Friends
A bond of trust
Has been abused
Something of value
May be lost
Give up your job
Squander your cash - be rash
Just hold on to your friends
There are more than enough
To fight and oppose
Why waste good time
Fighting the people you like
Who will fall defending your name
Oh, dont feel so ashamed
To have friends
But now you only call me
When youre feeling depressed
When you feel happy im
So far from your mind
My patience is stretched
My loyalty vexed
Oh, youre losing all of your friends
Hold on to your friends
Hold on to your friends
Resist - or move on
Be mad, be rash
Smoke and explode
Sell all of your clothes
Just bear in mind :
Oh, there just might come a time
When you need some friends

Millionaire
Writers: alan tarney & leo sayer
I got your postcard it made me lonely
Im out of money and no one really cares
The south of france has sunny weather
Pretty boats and lots of millionaires
Now youre not coming home
You like the style and youre staying here
Pretty boys everywhere you go
You lead em on and then you disappear
You say youre gonna find a millionaire
-- well I wish you luck
And we were never going anywhere
-- and now youve had enough
You didnt wanna be
Going broke with a loser like me
And youre a girl whos just got to be free
And I dont think youll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire
All the streets are dead without you
Empty shops and old abandoned cars
In saint tropez your man is waiting
He comes with diamonds to the hotel bar
You say youre not going home
You like the sun and youre staying here
Hell ask if youre on your own
You say why not then you both disappear
Now you say youre found your millionaire
-- oh well I dont care
Says hes gonna take you everywhere
-- I just dont care
I bet hell let you down
That kinda guy never hangs around
Hes got a girl in every town
And I dont think youll ever be happy
Living with a millionaire
Now you say youre found your millionaire
-- oh well I dont care
Says hes gonna take you everywhere
-- I just dont care
Then one day hes gonna let you down
Hell have you searching every club in town
That kind of guy will only drag you down
You can go and take your millionaire
-- oh I dont wanna know
Tell you that I really do not care
-- and your lifes your own
You see them everywhere you go
Chasing the sun in alfa romeos
You gotta catch em before they get too old
And I dont think youll ever be happy
Chasing a millionaire

How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all
Its unnerving
How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell
Im not saying there wasnt nothing wrong

The one youre leaving out

Free n Easy
Aint it strange
That when youre onely
And your friends theyre not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground
When youre down
And no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
When your friends
They dont desert you
When you make it youre a star
But Im gonna stay
Free and easy
I know just what I am
Im gonna be free and easy
Well, Ive been through
All the heartaches
And Ive been through all the pain
But when youre up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim
Im gonna be free and easy
I know just what I am
