Old Gangsters Never Die
Who did you think you were?
Who did you think you were fooling?
Youve been seeing too many movies
Where the bad guys were the heroes
Everything started fine
And it looked like the seeds were sown
till you took up an evil stance and you came on
Just like al capone
I had to leave or Id have gone insane
Now I hear they say youve changed but
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Dont you ever wonder why
You had me when I was green
It made me feel so dependent
It satisfied your paranoia to think I really needed you
Who did you think I was
Did you think that Id let it ride
Put down that violin case,
I know just what youre trying to hide
Ive got to leave you chill me to the marrow
Theres just no way youre on the straight and narrow because
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
Dont you ever wonder why
And when I finally climbed down off your shelf
You blamed everyone except yourself
Old gangsters never die
Old gangsters never die
They just fade into the night
Oh, bye-bye

Complicated Shadows
Well you know your time has come and youre sorry for what youve done
You shouldve never have been playing with a gun
In those complicated shadows
Well theres a line that you must toe
And itll soon be time to go
But its darker than you know in those complicated shadows
All you gangsters and rude clowns
Who were shooting up the town
When you should have found someone to put the blame on
Though the furys hot and hard
I still see that cold graveyard
Theres a solitary stone thats got your name on
You dont have to take it from me
But I know what I spake
You think youre like iron and steel
But iron and steel will bend and break
In those complicated shadows
Go!
Sometimes justice you will find
Is just dumb not colour-blind
And your poor shattered mind cant take it all in
All those phantoms and those shades
Should jump up on judgement day
And say to the almighty Im still stinking of sin
But the jury was dismissed
Took his neck and they give it a twist
So you see you wont be missed in those complicated shadows
You can say just what you like in a voice like a john ford film
Take the law into your hands
You will soon get tired of killing
In those complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Go!

Before crash given golden parachutes
While Hank cajoled bilked investors

We got into all the trouble you could ever imagine. We figured that if the Jones boys and all the gangsters ran Chicago, we had our own territory now. All the stores, all the crime, we were in charge of everything, my stepbrother and my brother.

Beginning, Middle And An End
Every story has
a beginning, middle and an end,
but don't ask me where I am
because I won't know until I die.
Some live poor, begging food everyday,
others live rich, as rich as Rockefeller.
Others live as gangsters just like Al Capone.
While others live as lawmen, Sherlock is the name
I live my life with stories
that flow from my pen
and everyone I write has
a beginning, middle and an end.

Dont Go
Baby dont go
Baby dont go
Baby dont go
(chorus)
Dont leave me, leave me, leave me
Dont go, dont go
Dont leave me, leave me, leave me
I love you so
(repeat)
(vs.1)
Ive been hurt before
Stay around for a while
Lets work it out
Lets try to make it happen
Dont do the things
That other guys did
To hurt me
They make me cry
Break my heart, oh why?
(bridge)
I know youre a busy man
But you dont understand
How it feels to be alone
When times get hard and
I want to feel your
Sweet and tender touch
Thats all Im askin baby
Cause I never asked for much
Oh, ohhh
(chorus)
This may be a fantasy
That I dream of baby
Time and time again
I knew that we would be
More than friends
I gave you my heart
And all of my time
But now youre actin shady
Is it all in my mind?
(bridge)
(chorus)
Dont leave, dont leave
Dont leave me alone
I wanna be with you
Oh, oh, oh, mmm, yeah oh oh oh
I wanna be with you
Yes I do, yes I do
Youve got my heart boy (youve got my heart)
You are the only one (oh, youre the only, only one)
If I cant be with you (if I cant be)
I dont know what to do (I dont know what to do)
(repeat)
Youve got my heart
(repeat 4x)
I wanna be your everything

Ghastly Ghoulish Rule
Why be dismayed,
By the eggs these chickens laid?
You were told that the rooster
Was a goosing hooting booster.
From the beginning it was said,
Everything he touched he poisoned dead!
And STILL you let him in your coop?
With all his stink and all his poot!
You should have given him long the boot!
He like the others...
Are gangsters with loot!
And you like a fool,
Keep drooling over this ghastly ghoulish rule!

You Know What I Mean
Just as I thought Id make it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left
Just as Id learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
Youre not sure if youre ready
But ready or not, youll take what youve got and leave
Leave me alone with my heart
Im putting the pieces back together again
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
I can do without you, know what I mean...
I wish I could write a love song,
To show you the way I feel
Seems you dont like to listen
Oh but like it or not, take what youve got and leave
Leave me alone with my heart
Its broken in two and Im not thinking too straight
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
Youve taken everything else, you know what I mean

Wotcha Gonna Do
Written by ricki, kim & marty wilde
I couldnt believe what I read when I got your letter
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life, yeah
Well, its easy for you to just go off and do what you want
Any time you please
Dont expect me to wait
If you leave its too late
Youre gonna have to crawl back on your knees
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Wotcha gonna do
I knew youd been feeling the need to just change direction
But I didnt know you were gonna walk away from me, no
Now youre out on your own cos you think youve outgrown
All the things that you left behind
But its crazy to see
Cos you know without me
Youre gonna end up losing more than you find
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Yeah, yeah
Now dont be a fool on yourself
Cos youve got so much to lose
And I really love you baby
Dont you know that I do, yeah
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away from home
Wotcha gonna do
How ya gonna feel

Going Under
I hear the door slam shut, so I know that youre home
Youve been out all night, Ive been here alone
And Ive been wondering if youre the same person I knew
The bright lights that shine in your eyes, they make me blind
I hear a footstep on the stairs so I know that youre near
Youve returned from pursuing your nocturnal career
And I dont ask where youve been, with who, or if theyre your friend
cause I dont really want to know right now, I dont know when I will again
Chorus
Going under, drifting down, going under
And I know youve still got a ways to go down before
We can rise back up into the light
Were going under, drifting down...
I hear you coughing in the hall so I know youre all right
It will be morning soon, through the gloom I see daylight
But in this room right now I am alone, I am unsure
I dont know what you feel anymore and it scares me so

Sesame Street Gangsters
It's the Sesame Street gangsters
The one and only crew
Elmo's got a gun
He’ll shoot your down
Cookie monster's gone loco
From eating all that coco
He’s got a machine gun and shooting up the place
If you only see his crazy ass damn face
Then there's Grover the travel guide
Smoking everything plus weed till he die
We got Bert with his gay ass self
It's to late to give him any help
Ernie drived him crazy
So he started drinking and got lazy
Let's not forget the damn annoying Ernie
He's been taking coke and getting high with his ducky
That's the Sesame Street Gangster
