Black Dog

Black dog barking in the cold grey light
He pulls the chain and he pulls it tight
This ain't no lonesome wail that boy ain't faking
He bites the steel and he claws the ground
He pulls again and he spins around
His eyes are raging and his burning lungs are steaming

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than i
I said no one knows that black dog better than i

When i see his running i can see me
Teeth in the collar and he's tearing it free
Spit out the leather and the cold studs that kept you from singing
Run till you're bleeding run till you're hot
Till the memory of all this you've long since forgot
Run till forever till the bells of your freedom are ringing

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog better than i
I said no one knows that black dog better than i

Bombollini

Sing a song of love to me
Sing out, sing out
She's the one who made me free
Sing out, sing out

'Cos she made me smile
And she made me love
Oh she made me laugh
And she made me dance
Bombo!

Little pearl inside the shell
Come out, come out
From deep down in my wishing well
Sing out, sing out

'Cos you made me smile
And you made me love
And you made me laugh
And you made me dance

Bombo!

Boom Boom

Take a look what's be going on behind me
I swear to God this ain't no making of my own

That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home

'Cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom

And I can't win
There ain't no us denying
So many years of experience
Tell me it's so

That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home

'Cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom

Born To Lose

Love started out like fresh April dawn
Dreams I have left faded and torn

I was born to lose baby
I was born to lose baby

There was this woman when I was a boy
She was my queen and I was her toy

I was born to lose baby
I was born to lose baby

Now I could not give what the rich man could give no
Only myself for as long as I live

I was born to lose baby
Oh I was born to lose baby

Born to lose
Born to lose
Born to lose

Bows And Bangles

Born and raised in wilderness
Of suburban shops and schools
How she tried and tried to be satisfied
With a job on the typing pool
She hated the smell of carbon paper
The office so smoky and dry
How she longed for the day she would make her get away
And say her last goodbye

Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes

Married a guy with prospects
And so became his wife
And that my friend is the end of the story
'Cos that was the rest of his life
She could have been a movie star
She could have made the scene
Right or wrong she still hangs on
Each night to her favourite dream

Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes

Burning Feet

No standing with these burning feet
I got to kill the the fire
Got to kill the heat
I see a road and a river
I gotta go
'cos there's fire in my shoes
And you're moving too slow
For these burning feet

I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes

One day they'll find me in pieces,
By the side of the track
Smoke trail behind me,
Flames from my back
This is what made me,
Yeah how I was made
Forever, in the heat
And never in the shade
Of these burning feet

Burning feet
I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes

'Disco' La Passione
(feat. Shirley Bassey)

I stand alone
Without a care
Open the door
But no-one's there
The lonely night
My only friend
Love's wrongs are right
I can't defend

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

And now I know
What I've become
It haunts me so
But I'll go on and on
I know the pain inside
Is the price you pay to ride
Into the brightest flame
Never the same again

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

You dare to dream
Take the chance and go
Desire has taken hold
Now the passion haunts you so

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

Can't Get Through

Radio speaker - radio bleep
Put it on hard disc -
See it on your pc
Everybody moving - cos
their so afraid of losing
You gotta pull the straps
Till it can't fight back

Say you gotta pull straps
Till it can't fight back
Press it down, press it down

What's going on,
Oh what's going on
There was a time,
When all I could see
was a sun in the sky
There was a place I knew where we
We used to run, run with
the wind in our faces

I look to the left, I look to the right
Can't get through
Press it down, I can't get through
Look to the left, I look to the right
I can't get through

I can't get through
I can't get through

Radio play, radio scream
Coming up through
All the crap on my windscreen
I can't get through
I can't go back
Laugh (too scared)
I might have a heart attack
I say I might have a heart attack

I can't get through
I can't get through

Candles

Faith for reasons still unknown
Like 'Bleak House fog' seems everywhere
The truth has frozen into stone
And hope lies freezing in the midnight air
Though dark our days may seem
This is a different dream
Their freedom light don't shine at all

So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright

When school yard heroes disappeared
The little girl, she stands alone
Oh I believe you if you say
A prayer can help to get her home

So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright

Catfish Girl

Catfish girl, makes it feel so fine
Catfish girl, always pulling on my line
When I see her smiling face, She get me every single time
Yeah she does.

Catfish girl, I miss you Lord I feel so blue
Oh my Catfish girl, Oh and every little thing that you do
Oh Catfish girl, I only want to be with you.

Oh Catfish come on now...
Aint' that the prettiest thing you ever did see.........
