Only A Lad

Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell
Everyone said if you dont get straight
Youll surely go to hell
But johnny didnt care
He was an outlaw by the time that he was
Ten years old
He didnt wanna do what he was told
Just a prankster, juvenile gangster
His teachers didnt understand
They kicked him out of school
At a tender early age
Just because he didnt want to learn things
(had other interests)
He liked to burn things
The lady down the block
She had a radio that johnny wanted oh so bad
So he took it the first chance he had
Then he shot her in the leg
And this is what she said
Only a lad
You really cant blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
Hes our responsibility
Only a lad
He really couldnt help it
Only a lad
He didnt want to do it
Only a lad
Hes underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
His parents gave up they couldnt influence his attitude
Nobody could help
The little man had no gratitude
And when he stole the care
Nobody dreamed that he would
Try to take it so far
He didnt mean to hit the poor man
Who had to go and die
It made the judge cry
Only a lad
He really couldnt help it
Only a lad
He didnt want to do it
Only a lad
Hes underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Its not his fault that he cant believe
Its not his fault that he cant behave
Society made him go astray
Perhaps if were nice hell go away
Perhaps hell go away
Hell go away
(repeat chorus)
Hey there johnny you really dont fool me
You get away with murder
And you think its funny
You dont give a damn if we live or if we die
Hey there johnny boy
I hope you fry!

Johnny Dont Do It

Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny was an angel
An angel dressed in black
He used to hang around the guys
Down at the local track
He tried so hard to join them
But they always turned him back
Johnny dont do it
He was an angel
Johnny dont do it
Such an angel
He was only 17
Just got out of school
He stole a bike from joes garage
To prove that he was cool
He didnt know that the brakes were worn
And fate can be so cruel
Johnny dont do it
He was an angel
Johnny dont do it
Such an angel
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Well johnny went a riding
With his girlfriend on the back seat
Looking for some action
And they found it down a back street
Suddenly a truck pulled out
He tried to step on the brake
Johnny dont do it (here is a news flash)
Johnny dont do it (today, johnny kowalski, also known as johnny
Angel)
Johnny dont do it (and his young fiance francine, were tragically
Killed)
Johnny dont do it (in a cycle accident)
Dont do it, dont do it (any witnesses please contact)
Dont do it, dont do it (the police at precinct 29)
Now johnnys with the angels
The angels in the sky
I wonder if he thinks of us
As he goes riding by
If only had listened
Oh the number of times we tried
To tell him
Johnny dont do it
He was an angel
Johnny dont do it
Such an angel
Johnny dont do it
He was an angel
Johnny dont do it
Such an angel
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it
Johnny dont do it

Didnt I?

(carly simon)
Didnt I give you midnight?
Didnt I give you the month of june
Didnt I make it alright
When everything was ruined
Didnt I say didnt i
Didnt you say didnt I too
Didnt we both say didnt i
till didnt we say were through
Didnt I try, didnt I cry
Didnt i?
Sorry that your mother dropped you on your head
Maybe her mother dropped her too
In the end we all get dropped
We all get black and blue
But didnt I always love you long
When time was short and the night was cold
Didnt I admit that I was wrong
When the anger was new but the fight was old
Didnt I say didnt i
till didnt we say were through
Didnt I try, didnt I cry
Didnt i, didnt i,
Didnt I do?

I Didnt Want To Need You

Baby, I never gave my heart to anyone, oh no
Used to think that love was a game
I used to make it just for fun
When we spent the night together
Didnt mean it meant that much
Now I just cant live without your touch
I didnt wanna to need you, no
I didnt wanna want you like I do
I didnt mean to fall
Didnt wanna care at all
I didnt wanna need you
Like I need you now
I cant get no sleep
coz I keep thinking of you all through the
Night, oh yeah
My eyes cant wait to see you again
My arms cant wait to hold you tight oh yeah
And when youre laying here beside me
There is nothing else I need
Never thought that this could ever be
I didnt wanna to need you, oh no
I didnt wanna want you like I do
I didnt mean to fall
Didnt wanna care at all
I didnt wanna need you
Like I need you now
Ive always been free
To leave when I wanna leave
But its not up to me anymore
I didnt wanna need you ...
I didnt wanna to need you, no
I didnt wanna want you like I do
I didnt mean to fall
Didnt wanna care at all
I didnt wanna need you
But I need you now

If I Didnt Try

If I didnt try, how would I know, how would I know
If I didnt try, how would I know, how would I know
Sometimes I think I must be crazy for doing this
(think Im never gonna win)
But how would I know its a losing cause
If I didnt try, if I didnt try
If I didnt try, if I didnt try
If I didnt care, nothing would hurt, nothing would hurt
If I didnt care, hope for the best, expect the worst
Sometimes it feels like my whole life has been leading to this
(wish that I could hide somewhere)
But how would I know how it feels to live
If I didnt care, if I didnt care
If I didnt care, if I didnt care
Sometimes I think I must be crazy for doing this
(you can never run away)
But how would I know its a losing cause
If I didnt try, if I didnt try
If I didnt try, if I didnt try

Johnny Cant Read

Johnny cant read
Football, baseball, basket ball games
Drinkin bear, kickin ass and takin down names
With the top down, get-a-round, shootin the line
Summer is here and johnnys feelin fine
But johnny cant read
Summer is over and hes gone to seed
Johnny cant read
He never learned nothin that hell ever need
Well, johnny can dance and johnny can love
Johnny can push and johnny can shove
Johnny can hang out; johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and johnny can throw up
But johnny cant read
Summer is over and hes gone to seed
(you know that), johnny cant read
He never learned nothin that hell ever need
Well, is it teachers fault? oh no!
Is it mommys fault? oh no!
Is it societys fault? oh no!
Well is it johnnys fault? ohhhhh nooooo!
Couple years later, johnnys on the run
Johnny got confused and he bought himself a gun
Well, he went and did something that he shouldnt
Oughta done
F.b.i. on his tail
Use a gun-go to jail
But johnny cant read
Summer is over and hes gone to seed
(you know that), johnny cant read
He never learned nothin that hell ever need
Well is is teachers fault? oh no
Is it mommies fault? oh no
Is it the presidents fault? oh no
Well is it johnnys fault? ohhhhh nooooo!
Johnny can dance and johnny can love
Johnny can push and johnny can shove
Johnny can pinball; johnny can talk tough
Johnny can get down and johnny can throw up
Well, recess is over
Recess is over!
Sitcoms, t.&a.
Johnnys mind is blown away
Cop shows, horror flicks
Johnnys brain is full of bricks
Rock show, video
Boob tube, rubiks cube
Game fools, sunday school
Gain fans(? ), gobble gangs(? )
Wonka wonka wonka
Theres a new kid in town...

Johnny Needs A Fast Car

Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs it bad
Johnny always do the best whatever johnny has
Johnny needs a fast one
Johnny needs it now
You got to give him something to let him show you how
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a break
Johnny dont need good luck
cos johnny never fakes
Hell always make it look good
Youll always see him smile
Give johnny a few inches and hell give you back a mile
Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car
Tears upon the broken bones of luck that never went his way
Bless this one youll know him by his smile

Sinking In

This is a drag that its too late now.
And I wanted to tell you that I was wrong.
I didnt realize I still hold on to you but I still do.
Was it that I turned everyone against you.
Was it that I didnt defend you.
Was it that I never had your back.
Was it that I was always trying to save you and you never wanted me to.
Or was it that I loved you.
You dont seem to see me sinking in do you.
Youre not content in your own head are you.
You just want to kick me once again dont you.
Dont you baby.
I did it again.
I dont stop paying.
You dont look so good to me my friend.
Is it because of me I really left this time.
Did you ever say goodbye.
Was it that I had a crush on your friend.
Was it that I left for another man.
Was it that I didnt know.
That you were in over your head and I didnt see what I had did i.
No, I didnt and uh.
(chorus)
Was it that everyone would just kiss my ass.
I couldnt see through it and you could.
And now look whats come of us here ten years later.
I jump from one to the other, youre still worrying your mother.
And I almost went under baby.

The Union

i wait around for the still small center
from saint to sinner
well which one is it
just who do you think you are
(who do you think you are)
well who did you come to meet here?
is it who i think it is?
i swear to god im gonna kill him
well is it who i think it is?
i always knew it was on purpose
well whats the point if it dont serve its purpose
split up to focus your eyes couldnt swell
your made from distractions so brilliantly dull
well i had a better friend in my worst aqquaintces
than i ever had in either one of you
i never made a scene
well they came to me
i never made a scene (didnt have to)
well they came to me
i didnt have to i didnt have to
well i never made a scene
i didnt have to i didnt have to
i never made a scene...
i always knew to avoid the issue
got me alone so i could adress you
home is where you make it, love
dont get yourself confused
besides whats it to you?
trade in my conscience for your
for your confidence
attack my lungs with laughs to pass the time
make space for a brand new routine

Didnt Mean To Turn You On

Let you take me out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I wasnt tryin to lead you on
Now you bring me home
And tell me goodnights
Not enough for you
Im sorry baby
I didnt mean to turn you on
You read me wrong
I wasnt trying to lead you on
I want a friend
I didnt mean to turn you on
I didnt mean to turn you on
I know you
Expected a one night stand
When I refused
I knew you wouldnt understand
Boy I told you twice
I was only tryin to be nice
Only tryin to be nice
Oh
I didnt mean to turn you on
Oh I didnt mean to turn you on
Turn you on
Tell me why should i
Feel guilty cause I wont give
Guilty cause I wont give in
I didnt mean to turn you on
(repeat chorus)
You think that Im a fool
Cause I wouldnt play by your rules
(I didnt mean to turn you on)
You dont stand a chance
All I want to do is dance with you
(I didnt mean to turn you on)
I told you twice
I was only tryin to be nice
(I didnt mean to turn you on)
I loved you for a friend
But I guess this is the
End of our relationship
Cause I didnt mean to turn you on
I didnt mean to turn you on
Sorry.

Come Home Johnny Bridie

Im full of pride and my heart feels good
Got news from my famly up in the woods
At last I can go back where I belong
Sweated it all out for nine long years
Couldnt believe the voice in my ears
When the man saying no hiding ,son
So I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then, hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldnt get back and I couldnt go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a ma and pa
Evrybody said the kids no good
Come home johnny bride come home
Johnny bride come home
Were all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
Its his role we had you filling
We didnt really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad
I left the only folks I had known
I was fifteen then , hardly grown
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud
Couldnt get back and I couldnt go far
Said to myself stay right where you are
Done found yourself a ma and pa
Evrybody said the kids no good
Come home johnny bride come home
Johnny bride come home
Were all wrong without you
How did we ever doubt you
He confessed to the killing
Its his role we had you filling
We didnt really mean to make you sad
But when you ran you made us think that you were twice as bad

Wish I Didnt Know Now

(toby keith)
I never ask you where your goin,
I never ask you where youve been
Ive never called and checked your story,
When you stayed out with all your friends
Ive never tried to catch you lyin,
I didnt want to know the truth
Id rather go on lovin blind girl,
Than go on lovin without you
I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
Im not sayin its you,
You could never be true
I just dont wanna know how it ends
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Ive always said what I dont know
Couldnt hurt as bad as leavin you
Turns out I knew what I was thinkin,
It aint an easy thing to do,
Well I guess I should be goin
I sure found out too much to stay,
Please dont say your sorry
I might wait another day
I wish I didnt know now what I didnt know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
Im not sayin its you,
You could never be true
I just dont wanna know how it ends
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hands
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Youd still have my heart in the palm of your hand
Id still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then
Yeah, I wish somehow I didnt know now what I didnt know then

No Chance - Regret

It must be nice to be steady, it must be nice to be firm
It must be nice never to move off the mark
It must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down
It must be great to be all the things youre not
It must be great to be all the things that Im not
I see you in the hospital your humor is intact
Im embarrassed by the strength I seem to lack
If I was in your shoes, so strange that Im not
Id fold up in a minute and a half
Id fold up in a minute and a half
And I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
No - I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold
It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down
But me Im all emotional no matter how I try
Youre gone and Im still here alive
Youre gone and Im still here alive
And I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
No - I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do
But Id wish Id known that you were going to die
Then I wouldnt feel so stupid, such a fool that I didnt call
And I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
No theres no logic to this - whos picked to stay or go
If you think too hard it only makes you mad
But your optimism made me think you really had it beat
So I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
No - I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

No One Told Him

Hey listen closely
Listen while I tell you
Why he loves you
And what he misses mostly
Its pointless his pretending
Hes got a broken heart
A broken heart
That needs mending
You didnt tell him
You didnt want to see him again
Hes going crazy
Hes reckless
Without you baby
Hes helpless
Its deadly how you broke him
Hes a fool
Without you baby
Im not joking
You didnt tell him
You didnt want to see him again
Now when Im down
My friends they come around
And when Im upset
My friends they help me forget
But how can he forget?
He hasnt got a friend
cos no one told him
You didnt want to see him again
Hes all washed up and washed out
Without you baby
Every place he goes
Hes thrown out
Hes turned vicious
Hes malicious
Just goes to show how much he misses
You know what
He wouldnt tell me
You didnt want to see him again
You didnt tell him
You didnt want to see him again
I couldnt tell him
You didnt want to see him again
I didnt tell him
You didnt want to see him again

Train In Vain

Ohh
Ohh
You say you stand, by your man
Tell me something, I dont understand
You said you loved me, and thats a fact
The you left me, said you felt trapped
Well, some things you cant explain away
And the heartaches with me till this day
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
All the times, when we were close
Ill remember, these things the most
I see all my walls come tumblin down
I cant be happy, without you around
So alone, I keep the wolves at bay
And theres only one thing I can say
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
You must explain...why this must be
Did you lie...when you spoke to me?
Did you stand be me?
No, not at all
Now I got a job, but it dont pay
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I wont see it through
But you dont understand my point of view
I suppose there nothing I can do
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
You didnt stand by me
No, not at all
You didnt stand by me
No way
You must explain...why this must be
Did you lie...when you spoke to me?
Did you stand be me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
Go...

Dont Know Why

I waited til I saw the sun
I dont know why I didnt come
I left you by the house of fun
I dont know why I didnt come
I dont know why I didnt come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But youll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But Ill be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along
My heart is drenched in wine
But youll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I dont know why I didnt come
I feel as empty as a drum
I dont know why I didnt come
I dont know why I didnt come
I dont know why I didnt come

How Could You Know?

if you've never known hunger,
how could you know?
if you've never been homeless,
how could you know?
if you've never been sick,
and couldnt get medical care,
how could you know?

if you've never hid in the night
while the bombs fell around you,
how could you know?
if you've never killed, or
wanted to but didnt,
how could you know?
if you've never been abused,
beaten, or taken advantage of,
how could you know?
if you've never been imprisoned
for something you didnt do,
or for something you did,
how could you know?

if you've never been left alone,
without hope, without a prayer,
how could you know?

but if your brother or sister,
from anywhere around the world,
has done and felt and experienced
these things...
how could you not know?

Standing In The Shadows Of Love

(eddie holland / lamont dozier / brian holland)
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Im just waitin for the heartaches to come
I want to run but theres no place to go
cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love I need
Its the beginning of the end for me
cause youve taking away all my reason for living
When you pushed aside all the love I been giving
Didnt I treat you right now baby didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you now didnt i
Dont you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
All alone Im destined to be
With misery my only company
Might come today, might come tomorrow
But its for sure I aint got nothing but sorrow
Now dont your conscience kind of bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I done for you
Now hold on a minute
Didnt I treat you right now honey didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you now didnt i
So dont you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Im getting ready for the heartaches to come
I want to run but theres no place to go
cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love the love that I need
Its the beginning of the end for me
Now dont your conscience kinda, kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry
After all the things I done for you
Didnt I treat you right now baby didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you couldnt i
Didnt I do right by you didnt i
Didnt I screw you right now
Kept you in luxury didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you didnt i
Didnt I treat you right now didnt i
Didnt I do the best for you now didnt i
Im trying hard not to cry
You know my crying aint gonna help me now
Without your love the love that I need
Its the beginning of the end for me
So dont you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love

Standing in the shadows of love

Good Morning Judge

Well good morning judge, how are you today
Im in trouble, please put me away
A pretty thing took a shine to me
I couldnt stop her so I let it be
I couldnt stop her so I let it be
I couldnt stop her so I let it be
I couldnt stop her so I let it be
He didnt do it, he wasnt there
He didnt want it, he wouldnt dare
Well good morning judge, yes Im back again
Im in trouble, so its back to the pen
I found a car but I couldnt pay
I fell in love and I drove it away
I fell in love and I drove it away
I fell in love and I drove it away
I fell in love and I drove it away
He didnt do it, he wasnt there
He didnt want it, he wouldnt dare
I didnt do it, I wasnt there
I didnt want it, I wouldnt dare
Alcatraz is like a home sweet home
Im so wanted and Im never alone
San quentin is the place to be
Im so happy I dont wanna be free
So happy I dont wanna be free
So happy I dont wanna be free
So happy I dont wanna be free
