Remnants
Wasting your life on the sidewalk
When you can be out on the street, dodging cars
As they go by, the wind goes right through you
Life on the edge of a razor
Never knowing when youre to fall
Sure as hell beats never gambling at all
Lifes too short to just barely exist
Wide spread mediocracy
Will suck you up, resist
Another number on a list
I dont want it, you can have it
You can try, but you wont make me
Feel the things you feel
Ill take my chances, till I find a better deal
Ill take my chances, along with all the rest
The snail goes over the razor blade
The suicide squad of lemmings parade
To their kingdom, where theyve made reservations
I have no reservation
I dont think my seats been saved
Ill take my chances, here, right

Takin Chances
Lestley r. pierce & frankie blue
I like walkin in the park late at night
Tryin to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
Ive got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin to get my own
Dont tell me what you think you know
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin for a check that wont show
Chorus:
Takin chances
No risk, no gain
Takin chances
I really dont mind the pain
Takin chances
If you only knew
Takin chances
Its all for the love of you
I dont like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
Cause once you start youll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
Ill always end up on top
Chorus
Bridge:
Ive got to do it right, ooh Ive got to
Ive got to live my life the way I want to
Im high up on a wire, dont wanna ever come down
And if I fall Ive got to fly

Feel The Benefit
Reminisce and speculation
You went out on the street without your shoes on
You didnt listen what your momma said
She said you wont feel the benefit, wont feel the benefit
And if we all went out without our shoes on
Tell me where would we be, where would we be
If all the people in the world lost their reason
What would we see, where would we be
If all the entertainers in the world lost their music
What would they play, what could they say
To pacify the crowd, to justify themselves
Wont feel the benefit
Youre like a cloud behind the sun
Like the face behind the clown
Youre moving like the wrinkles in a frown
And you can never look back
A leaf thats borne upon the wind
A cardboard suitcase in your hand
The wanderer soon returns
And finds the colour of the grass is just the same
On the other side of the tracks, oh no
A latin break
Ooh when you smile its like a holiday
Ooh pack your bags and we can get away
Well float on a queen down to rio
Theres no need to shave
Well be stinking like rum in a punch
You can walk on the water
You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo
You can smoke a little ganja
Float like a cloud over rio, rio
You can ride with the gauchos
Swinging your bolas in a red bandana
You can run with the devil
Takin your chances with senorita
You can drink a lot of coffee in brazil
But the bill is gonna make you ill
Feel the benefit
So, you can go out on the street and take your chances
But if you do, you better do it right
Or you wont feel the benefit, wont feel the benefit
Spin the wheel and take your chances
And your number might come up
Though the odds may be in favor of the house
If all the people in the world would say together
Were all black and white, were all day and night
If all the people in the world could sing together
How would it sound, what would we feel
Wed all feel the benefit

Chances Are
Chances are youll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since Ive known you
It just seems youre on my way
All the rules of logic dont apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you til morning light
I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace, your style
And now youre all I long to see
Youve come to mean so much to me
Chances are Ill see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
Youll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are Ill hold you and Ill offer
All I have
Youre the only one I cant forget
Baby youre the best, Ive ever met
And Ill be dreaming of the future
And hoping youll be by my side
And in the morning Ill be longing
For the night, for the night
Chances are Ill see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
Youll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are Ill hold you and Ill offer
All I have
Youre the only one I cant forget
Baby youre the best Ive ever met

Chances Are
I was lost inside a daydream
Swimming through the saline
I looked at you and you breathed in
Well thats the way its always been
It all comes down to creating time
You dont always have to make it rhyme
Well all drive by in our hybrid lives
Chances are well make it back
I was doing time in the LA jail
My crime was living inside a failure
No matter how it dont matter now
Rest assured the rest is blurred
It all comes down to doing time
We dont always have to make it a crime
Well all drive off in our hybrid lives
Chances are well make it back
Well make it back... Well make it back
Terrence McKenna said
It is better to explore within
We were apes before we spoke of sin
The cosmos sits on the tip of a pin
It all comes down to creating time
You dont always have to make it alright
Well all drive by with our hybrid lives
Chances are... Chances are... Chances are
Well make it back... Well make it back
Well make it back... Well make it back

Hows Chances?
When I want to see the boys
I know where to find the boys
I dont go through a club or two
I just find you and there are the boys
To get you alone I strive
You ask me to tea at five
I find you then with other men
And wonder when my chance will arrive
Hows chances, say, how are the chances
Of making you love me the way I love you
How many young men must I fight with
To be in right with
In right with you
Hows chances for one of those glances
A glimpse of the heaven Im longing to see
Hows chances to end all your romances
And start taking your chances with me
[alternate bridge:]
My castle will need some restoring
Ceiling and flooring
Furniture, too

Beggars Farm
Youre taking chances. and your reputations going down.
Going out in the night-time. you think you make no sound.
But you dont fool me. 'cos I know what you feel.
If you ignore the things I say --
Someday soons gonna find you
'way down on beggars farm.
I pay my money for no returns.
I think I need you. going to find someone.
Oh, you dont fool me. 'cos I know what you feel.
When you go out I ask you why.
And I wont worry when I see you lying
Down on beggars farm.
When you run to me, going to turn away.
Wont even listen when you try to say
That you were only fooling around --
'cos I know what you feel.
But if you ask me nicely, woman --
Ill wake up early one day soon and
Ill visit you down on beggars farm.

Chances Are
Chances are if we'd meet again,
You won't know who I am,
Though you might remember the smile
Or you might recall the walk,
But chances are, you will not.
And if we did meet on the road again,
Would you smile and call my name
Or would you forget who I was,
Because now, we are not the same.
Chances are, you would walk away,
And you would forget what you saw
Even though you knew me then,
But now my face, you couldn't recall.
And if we were in trouble in the sea of life,
Would you be there to toss me a line
I know I'd be there if but for you,
But alas, that was a different time.
And chances are, if we were alone
You would then smile and talk to me,
You would be my friend, and remember again,
But chances are; that will never be.
Chances are, that I will never change
And that I will stay the way I am,
And you will stay the way, that you must be,
But I don't care, in this world of man.
I will act the way that I want to act
And I will do the things that I must do,
And I am not ashamed of anything or anyone,
But chances are, the hypocrite is you.
And as life is full of chances of her own,
She has her own steps and stairs,
And could I see you on your way down,
Chances are, I will be there.

Are You Ready?
This place inside my mind, a place I like to hide,
You dont know the chances, what if I should die?
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain,
You dont know the chances, Im so blind, blind, blind.
Another place Ill find, to escape the pain inside,
You dont know the chances, what if I should die?
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain,
You dont know the chances, Im so blind, blind, blind.
Deeper and deeper and deeper as I journey to
Living a life that seems to be a lost reality
That I could never find a way to reach my inner self
Esteem is low, how deep can I go,
In the ground that I lay, if I dont find a way to
Sift through the gray that clouds my mind.
This time I look to see whats between the lines!
I can see, I can see Im going blind. (x12)
Im blind. (x4)

Anthem 84
If youre looking for a fighter wholl defend you
And love you for your freedom. Im your man.
And I aint gonna leave you for the crazy things youre doing
But dont ask me to lend a helping hand.
You were such a pretty dream as I remember
You were young and strong and God was on your side.
But vision slowly faded like the wonder from your eyes
And you traded your compassion for your pride.
But I still believe in all that we believed in.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
And youll see the golden chances that youre wasting.
And be the loving beauty that you can.
But I still believe in all that we believed in.
And I pray to God that you will in the end.
And youll see the golden chances that youre wasting.
And be the loving beauty that you can.

Suddenly
(john farrar)
She walks in and Im suddenly a hero
Im taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me cant you tell Id be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem Im so close to my dream
And then suddenly its all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And i, Im ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I dont need the answers
Cos i, Im ready to take all my chances with you
How can I feel youre all that matters
Id rely on anything you say
Ill take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem Im so close to my dream
And then suddenly its all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And i, Im ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I dont need the answers
Cos i, Im ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when youre near
Theres no way any hurt can get thru
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And i, Im ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I dont need the answers
Cos i, Im ready to take all my chances with you

The Angel & The Gambler
(harris)
Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now
So how do you feel
But youre not gonna win
Youd better go back again
Do you feel lucky
Or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings
And be devil may care
But youre down on your luck
What will the next day bring
Adrift on the ocean
Afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a maze
Or blind in the haze
So what does it matter
So why dont you answer
So why did you send
An angel to mend
Best make decisions
Before its too late
Take all your chances
Take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice
Ahead of the game again
Nothing to lose
But so much to gain
A little danger
It goes without saying
But what do you care
Youre gonna go in the end
Gate open to heaven
Is ready and waytnig
Or straight down to hell
Can go there as well
Ill suffer my craving
My souls not worth saving
Sowhy dont you go
Just leave well alone
Dont you think Im a savior
Dont you think I could save you
Dont you think I could save your life
Theres like a hunger
That knocks on your door
Youve had a taste of it
Still you want more
Youve made your mistakes
Wont play it the same again
You have been warned
But still you plunge in
You play high stakes
But theres nothing to win
Youve only one life
And so many things to learn
The angel on one side
The devil the other
Which path do you take
Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads
You know where youre going
And what if you wait
It may be too late

You Really Better Love Me After This
(bill rice, mary s. rice)
Your letter found me here in denver
Ive changed though since Ive been here
Ive learned theres more to life
Than your promises
Theres someone here
In colorado
Who wont forget tomorrow
So you really better love me after this
On a bus somewhere in kansas
Heading home to take my chances
Lord I hope this time you mean
The things you say
I wont say this is the last time
And let you play with my mind
But you really better love me after this
Chorus:
Cause after all the pain weve been through
After all the chances we blew
Doesnt really mean that much to you
But you really better love me
As the bus pulls in the station
I can see you waiting
And I believe we both forget
What we cant forgive
Now were holding to each other
I can feel my heart recover
And I know youll gonna love me after this
Cause after all the pain weve been through
After all the chances we blew
I guess we really mean that much to you
Oh youre really gonna love you
Oh youre really gonna love me
Oh youre really gonna love me

I Don't Have The Map
When it happens
Youll feel like an islander
Youll see ships and theyll be reminders
That youre on an island
Im on an island
The chances are theres a reason weve been left here
But Im not disappointed
The chances are theres a reason weve been left
The chances are, the chances are
You cant contact, you cant contact
You cant cope without the contact
As it happens
Theres a city in sight
Youre getting confused by local lamplight
By local lamplight
Dont buy local lamplights
The chances are theres a reason weve been left here
But Im not disappointed
The chances are theres a reason weve been left here
The chances are, the chances are
You cant contact, you cant contact
You cant cope without the contact
But what a situation to be in
You and me are keeping in time with my ideas
Keeping in time with my ideas
You cant stop keeping in time
You cant contact, you cant contact
You cant cope without the contact

Suicide! !
Suicide
It's all i think about
Suicide
Can't get it out
Suicide
So hard to resist
Suicide
resist the urge to slit my wrist
Suicide
wishing i had a gun
Suicide
all i have is a small razor
Suicide
so i drag the blade across my legs and arms
Suicide
wishing to do myself much more harm
Suicide
and i wake soaked in blood
Suicide
cuts all over my body
Suicide
and im still somehow alive
Suicide
deep and long so much blood lost
Suicide
how am i still here?
Suicide
I really need a gun
Suicide
one day... one day

Seven & The Ragged Tiger
(lebon, rhodes, taylor, taylor, taylor)
You told me once a second chance was not worth waiting for
A million chances later, you dont know how right you were
Dont mean you dont dream cause the beating on the door
The russian high who needs to die begins to realise
That all those days in mischief have your soul in paradise
I dont know that those time that you were foolish and unwise
And Ive seen all reason hit the floor
I dont need no reservations
But I can do things that Ive never done before
Playing with a fire ball you cant touch
But you can soar with seven and the ragged tiger (2x)
Like the morning wild warning
Fires are alive, dont have a choice
The danger boys are hoping for a fight it seems
I cant bleed I dont dance anymore
All armed with superstition til the birds have flocked our way
Somebody ought to tell them we dont care what people say
Not afraid dont believe in those stories anymore
They just hang their victims to the wall
At least tell me something
It seems that their vision has something within their law
Brother can you feel the heart inside
Youre running for your life
Youre running seven and the ragged tiger (4x)
All happy like a rainy day is everything to gain
Just the smell of independence he defends his life again
Dont mean I dont dream in no music anymore
Cause Ive heard those reasons die before
Oh please tell me something
It seems their vision has something within
Brother can you feel the heart inside
Youre running for your life
You better seven and the ragged tiger

Chances
(graham russell)
Theres a chance you will be there
Id like to know the truth
Ill find it out somehow
The chances arent too strong
A chance you will be there
Please be there alone
Help me speak of love
Chances arent enough
Ones too good to miss
Chances arent too strong
A chance is all there is
Theres a chance you will be there
Wondring what to do
How to play my role
Ill leave it up to you
If I disguise my smile
It gives too much away
And what if we cant speak
What then shall I say
Dont you be too long
Something has gone wrong
The chances are all gone

Useless
I am a mirror, with no reflection
I am a razor, without my blade
I am the daylight, when the moon shines no
Who will want to make my sandcastle thats already made
I feel so useless, do you
Speak to an ear deaf to my voice
Look through your fear, still blind to my way
I reach to hold you, but I dont feel you there, do you
Even realise Im here am I just wasting away?
No wasting away
Living, inside you play
My dying prayer, sealed in a scream
Unwelcome, and a concious dream
I am your whore, without a name
I climb to fall, to begin again, to begin again
I climb to fall, suffer, hatred, deceit and pain
Anger, regret, loving in vain
I am an arrow, with no direction
My life your tarot, my picture your fate
Im your becoming, so ill always be nothing
If I ever break away from you that day forth, youll be living
My hate
Oh God help his fate
Ill watch you, watch you suffocate

In My Life
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Seen a lot of good times in my life
Times when everything went so right
Seen a lot of things go wrong and I just dont know why
Ive seen a lot of good times m my life
Had a bit of sadness in my life
Friend of mine went down the other night
Tried to sort it out but now I just dont know why
Ive had a bit of sadness in my life
You see I am a lonely, lonely, man
And what I got, I got together with my own two hands
And I wonder what am I gonna do to put things right
Ive seen a lot of good times in my life
Ive taken lots of chances in my life
Now one of them has changed me overnight
Ive seen a glimpse of the other side
The lights are much too bright
Ive taken lots of chances with my life
I gotta do something with my life
Gotta make a change and put up a fight
Stand on my own two feet and do it right
I gotta do something with my life
