Lay It Down
Byrne/brasfield
You can take it to the country you can take it to town
Take it on the run in the back of some car
Take it too far if you leave it all around
Someday youre gonna lose it baby now now
Chorus
You better lay it down
Right where I can see it
Lay it down
You gotta lay it down
Show me that you mean it
Lay it down
You can see it on fire you can burn it to the ground
You can take it down to hell and back to heaven again
But I wont take it back if you leave it all around
To all the king horses and all the king s men
You better lay it down
Right where I can see it
Lay it down
You gotta lay it downshow me that you mean it
Lay it down
You can take it to the country take it to town
You can take it too far if you leave it all around
You better lay it down
Right where I can see it
Lay it down
Lay it down
Right where I can see it
Lay it down
Show me that you mean it

Leave This Town
I better keep myself from being busted
I better keep myself out of jail
cause I aint got a friend to get me trusted
Thats why my mama sends my money through the mail
Ive been down on my luck
Ive been down on my wealth
Im gotta stop taking care of business
Start taking care of my health
Ive gotta leave this town
Ive gotta leave this town behind
Ive gotta leave this town tonight
Well I set off down the main street
With such a long, long way to go
But before I started I was cornered on the corner
Still waiting for my sugar to show
Ive been down on my luck
Ive been down on my wealth
Ive gotta stop taking care of somebodys elses business
Start taking care of myself
Ive gotta leave this town
Ive gotta leave this town behind
Ive gotta leave this town tonight
I was fooling around with the sheriffs daughter
She was a real fine fox
But the sheriff he came after
And threatened to lock me in a cell box
He showed me his magnum
He showed me his shotgun
He stuck it in my face
And said, boy, I think you best be gone
Ive gotta leave this town
Ive gotta leave this town behind
Ive gotta leave this town tonight

Young Man's Town
You wake up one morning and it's passed you by.
You don't know when and you don't know why.
You feel like an old memory hangin' round.
And man, you've gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
You knew this day was comin' all along.
So why bitch and moan and say they done you wrong?
Just teach 'em what you know an' pass it on down,
'Cause man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
Chorus:
It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
And all God's children
Gotta learn to spread their wings.
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
And watch 'em burn it to the ground,
Even though you built it,
It's a young man's town.
You always seem to be the last to know.
Man, that's just the way that the story goes.
There's nothin' you can do when the fields have turned brown.
Man, you gotta face it, it's a young man's town.
Chorus:
It's a young man's town,
Full of young man's dreams.
And all God's children
Gotta learn to spread their wings.
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
And watch 'em burn it to the ground,
Even though you built it,
It's a young man's town.
Sometimes you gotta stand back,
And watch 'em burn it to the ground.
Even though you built it,
It's a young man's town...

Im Gonna Leave You
(dusty springfield / madeline bell / lesley duncan)
Ive been trying hard to see
Just what you want of me
But its no good boy
Im setting you free
cause I need you so much more
With each day that passes by
You dont seem to care
Its making me cry
So Im packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I cant go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
Im gonna leave you
Im gonna leave you, baby
This lonely feeling deep in my mind
cause I cant turn back
If I leave you behind
But I gotta do it now
Yes, I gotta turn away
Hold me one more time
Dont ask me to stay
Its so hard so say goodbye
But its you Im thinking of
It would never work out
I know youre not in love with me
Oh, baby
Im gonna leave you
Said, Im gonna leave you
Its over and Im walking out on you
Youll never get the chance to feel untrue
Though I love you
And I need you
And I want you
Im still walking out on you
Darling, though it hurts me so inside
I cant take no more
Gonna lose my mind
So Im packing up my bags
Gonna make my getaway
Get myself together
I cant go on this way
Oh, baby, baby
Im gonna leave you
Said Im gonna leave you, baby
Yes Im gonna leave you, baby
Oh, Im gonna leave you baby

Gotta Get Used To You
(jean-alain roussel)
Who dyou think youre kidding?
You walk out on my life
Now, youre back again
And you think that nothings changed
Denying superstitions, defying traditions
It seems like weve been through this before
Now, its gonna be like starting all over again
Oh, baby, dont you know?
Its gonna be like starting all over again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
You know I love to feel you
Reach the depth of my heart
Deep inside of me
The way it used to do
Ive had so many lovers
No-one could ever tame me
They all seem to rub me the wrong way
They always get my back up
No-one seems to do the things that you do for me
And now that youre back in my life again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I gotta get used to you, again
I gotta get used to you
I got to get used to you, again

Tell Him
I know something about love
Youve gotta want it bad
If that guys got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe
Heres the thing to do
Tell him that youre never gonna leave him
Tell him that youre always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
I know something about love
You gotta show him it and make him
See that moon up above
Reach out and get it
If you want him to
Make your heart sing out
And if you want him to
Only think of you
Tell him that youre never gonna leave him
Tell him that youre always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Ever since the world began its been that way
For woman and man were created
To make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated? oh
I know something about love
You gotta take it and
Show him what the world is made of
One kiss will prove it
If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride and
Tell him that youre never gonna leave him
Tell him that youre always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
Tell him that youre never gonna leave him
Tell him that youre always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now

'Cos they ain't got our classy touch,
But they ain't good enough to breathe,
This towns good air we make 'em leave

Well who do you think you're pushing 'round,

Just look around you'll see what I mean

Look Away...)

Leave It
I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young mans pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make
Real
One donw one to go
Another town and one more show
Downtown theyre giving away
But she never came back
No phone can take your place
You know what I mean
We have the same intrigue
As a court of kings
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Two down there you go
Mcarthur park in the driving snow
Uptown theyre digging it out
Better lay your claim
Get home youre not alone
You just broke out of the danger zone
Be there to show your face
On another dreamy day
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad - ah leave it
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad - ah leave it
Hello hello heaven

If You Leave
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've gotta make it last
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday
If you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave, don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've gotta say you will
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday
day, day, day
I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

May even treat you like a movie star
And no matter what he ever do for you
He can never love you like I can do
So if I leave her and you leave him

Sunset On L. A.
Blow east wind blow
Blow as you may
Wish I had the power
To take your breath away
This life is golden
But its only deep as the skin
Feelin much colder
Though Im standin in the warm desert wind
Gotta leave this town
Else Ill go crazy if I stay
If I see one more sunset on l.a.
Ill miss you blue sky
But not so much
Too much of a good thing
Keeps this old soul out of touch
Sometimes youre empty
Though your dreams they all seem fulfilled
Youre cool on the outside
Though the real you is slowly being killed
Gotta leave this town
Else Ill go crazy if I stay
If I see one more sunset on l.a.
Left a girl lyin neath an old willow tree
At times I think shell still be waitin there for me
Gotta leave this town
But its always one day away
Just saw one more sunset on l.a.
Gotta leave this town
Else Ill go crazy if I stay
If I see one more sunset on l.a.
One more sunset on l.a.
Dont want to see
One more sunset on l.a.
Baby wait for me

Big Ol Fire
One of these days youll turn around
And wanna get out of this someday town
Well people gonna laugh you know what theyll say
Youre never gonna get away
Well therell be fear and therell be doubt
But theyre just things thatll slow you down
Just put em all in a great big pile
And stand back
Chorus
And burn, baby like a big ol fire
Build it up with your one desire
And one of these days you just might change their minds
Shine the light, blind em by
A big ol fire
A big ol fire
And one of these days youll find someone
Who lights you up like the rising sun
But hes been hurt and he wont feel
Like handin you a heart of steel
Well dont you run now just you stay
cause youre the one that can melt away
The loneliness down in his heart
Just take him in your arms
2nd chorus
And burn baby like a big ol fire
Build it up with your one desire
And one of these days you just might find the love
Youre dreaming of, risin up a big ol fire

And when you get to where youre goin
All youll leave behind is ashes smolderin
When you find the love youve always wanted
Never let it die

Baby, youre only a sleeping beauty for a little while
Hoping no prince heats up your day
That you can be ionely all this time in unbelievable
Playing deaf and dumb, just afraid

Gotta be high when youre walking an fire
If you want to
Gotta be cool when youre breaking the rules
Because you want to
Gotta be strong, really got to move on
I know you want to
Gotta be true, you do what you do
Because you want to
Dont cha want to
And you wanna babe
I know you
Go with your urges, holding back is just a puppy show
You dont need so be-bop to play
Whatever you think your friends might say is immaterial
What they dont know might show you the way

Gotta be high when youre walking on fire
If you wart to
Gotta be cool when youre breaking the rules
Because you want to
Gotta be strong, yeah you carry on

Because you want to
Dont cha want to
You know you want to
Because it feels right
Because it wont bite
Now that youve found your way around, you want to run to me
Hey dont waste no time
See that sleeping beauty waking up beside-a me
Making me feel so good just to see you smile
Chorus: (repeat)
Gotta desire when youre walking on fire
I know you want to
Gotta be free when youre walking with me
Dont you want to
Maybe its time to do what you do

If I Gotta Leave

They could never take you away from me
Oh baby, never replace the tenderness of your smile
I couldnt leave now if I wanted to
Everything I do I wanna do with you
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you
They could offer me the world and all its gold
Oh baby, put me on a ship thats sailing out to sea
Set me down on a lonely track
But Id find a way to come running back
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you
They may try to find a way to deep us from each other
Try to find a way to keep us far apart
But theres nowhere in the world they could send me to
To keep my love away from you
Oh no, baby
If I gotta leave
I wanna leave with you
I really wanna leave with you
I really wanna leave with you

Im just a fool - no disguise
I still get hurt - same old pride
But growing older - Ive realized
Theres not a place - in my life - tonight

I aint gonna leave this town no more
Im sorry for the times that I did before
Im going back to where my heart came from
I aint gonna leave this town again
Im sorry for the things I did but then
I didnt realize whre I belonged
Shakin the blues - every night
Been all alone - no surprise
Dont you forget me - Im so blind
Im coming back - one more time - tonight

If these streets were empty
With nothing to see
You could take me from this town
Oh but you wont take this town out of me
Too many years - cant forget
So many dreams - aint done yet
An all of these memories - still the same
Im going home - and Ill remain - unchanged

You Gotta Go
I never know why
Why we can't see eye to eye
And like a fool I believed
We would find a way to survive
I wish we could be more than just a memory
Cuz we loved, we laughed, we cried
And there's no good in goodbye
You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go
If you must go, you ought to know
I will get along, I will live without you
And if you should leave I hope you see
I won't be around baby if you should leave
You're gonna need me
You might think that leaving is easy
I had no right to lead you on
I should have told you the moment the feeling was gone
What I'm trying to say is that I need some space
I need to be sure
No, you'll never find another love like me
All around this world
Still you tell me
You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go
You said you'll always be mine
I need to be on my own
I gotta be on my own
Not gonna beg you to stay
But you'll be back boy I know
Baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go
Then you gotta go

The Show Must Go On
Ive been trapped in the madness,
From the shadows of sadness
I laugh it away.
Ive been blind to the passion
While the whole world is flashing
I stash it away.
While Im singing of freedom,
Im trying to sell
What I never had.
Hoping Ill be released from my own kind of hell
Cause I lost the key to my past.
The show must go on.
It seems like theres something Im leaving behind.
The show must go on.
Cause the dreams that Im having,
Im having all the time.
The show must go on.
There will be no confessions,
Cause Id only be guessing just where to begin.
Theres only one thing Im knowing
This feeling aint blowing
Away with the wind.
And Im tired of turning my back on myself
Throwing truth away.
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
And give me a season of play.
The show must go on,
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
The show must go on.
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Its time for collecting
What Ive been neglecting.
Its gonna be a little strange.
Cause one day Ill be gone,
And Ill be back in time(town? ).
Nothings gonna, nothings gonna
Be the same.
The show must go on,
And I just keep pretending to live for your game,
The show must go on,
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Put on the face,
Win every race,
Im just so strong cant you see,
And I keep up the pace,
I wont leave a trace.
Of .........................
Still going on, still going on.
The show must go on,
The show must go on.
