"Primitive Notion"

It doesn't take a lot to confuse me
I'm not aware of the passing of time
And I'd like to say to those who accuse me
Could you do it while you looked in my eye

If you hold on primitive notion
And if you think you'd like to try
You can drink this magic potion
And you can do it 'til the day that you the day that you die

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I'm doing my best to confound? you
Your behaviour is so volatile
Not even a zoo would impound you
Don't look at me with your criticle smile

Well I've been driving in the wrong gear
It's been a long and lonely ride
It's been winter for a whole year
But you couldn't hurt me if you tried

I've done it before and I'll do it again
Charged with a life that'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I've done it before and I'll do it again
A judgement of life that I'll burn 'til the end
How can it be that we're so far apart
I want it to be like it did at the start

I've got a message that I need to send
It's coming to you straight from a friend
I wanted to see what's inside my heart
I wanted to be like it was in the start

"Slow Jam"

As I look at the morning sky
Today the wind is blowing hard
See that bird is floating high
Pretty soon it will be tired
I spent a day all by myself
A rich man without his wealth
Sometimes I get it wrong
But I'm not the only one

The afternoon was very clear
The sun was beating down on me
I got thirsty for a beer
That I had to go to sea
The sea was very rough
It made me feel sick
But I like that kind of stuff
It beats arithmetic

I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
When it gets to be alive
And not just still survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this

The early evening mists
Look beautiful to me
Was sweeter than a kiss
I wish you all could see
I'm a long long way from home
But this photograph of you
Even though it's monochrome
Tells me what I should do
So I got up on my feet
I knew it would be alright
For my clothes were looking beat
In the middle of the night

I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
When it gets to be alive
And not just still survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this

I don't want the world to change
I like the way it is
Just give me one more wish
I can't get enough of this
When it gets to be alive
And not just still survive
To hit and not to miss
I can't get enough of this

I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this
I can't get enough of this

"Rock The Shack"

I've been accused of everything
From Tombuctu to old Berlin
I need some armor for my flesh
I need to stop and take a rest

I've been wide-eyed but couldn't see
I stand accused of being me

I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline
When I hear a baby cry
When I see an old man die
That's just the way it is

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

Yeah that's the way it is

I took each day the way it came
I put my future out of frame
The signs were there for all to see
Like blue eyed mind to you and me
My head laid on my beating breast
I swear to you I pass the test
I walked one hundred thousand miles
And you're the judge who's been my trial
? my trial

I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is just a den of vice and sins
And even on the darkest night
We could reach for the light
And we could get it right

Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right
Get it right, get it right, get it right, get it right

I believe in politics
I believe in everything
I believe this world of ours is giving me adrenaline
Ten thousand year ago
Crawling on the floor
Well get up Jack
It's time to rock the shack

Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack
Rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack, rock the shack

It's time to get up

"Someone Like You"

This can't be real
My heart is burning
How does it feel
Well let's say I'm learning
It had to come
The ship has landed
It's time to run
The crew are stranded

We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start
Someone like you, Someone like you, yeah

You're everything to me
The sweetest symphony
All that I try to be
You are my harmony
I guess what I mean to say
Is you keep the walls at bay
The children on holiday
Here comes the crowd

We're having the time of our lives
We're lost in a cruel paradise

Someone like you can make me feel like I used to do
Return my heart, yeah, make it feel like it does at the start
Someone like you, yeah, Someone like you, yeah

"Close Range"

I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna know what it's all about
I've seen it before but not like this
I saw your name, it was on the list

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

No cold heart could turn away
And not be moved by what I saw today
There on the floor, thirty years or more
He doesn't care, he just wants to score

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change)
You were pretty high (It's gonna change)
Right on the floor (It's gonna change)
Looking at the sky (It's gonna change)
I remember you (It's gonna change)
When you were a kid (It's gonna change)
It was pretty strange (It's gonna change)
And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

Yet it only seems just like yesterday
We used to run and hide
Remember in the park where we used to play
The grass looked ten foot high

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man
You've got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
You've got the world right in your hands

"Run Wild"

Open hearts
Empty spaces
Dusty roads
To distant places
But all the time
When I'm alone
I think of you
And how you've grown

Far and wide
Sweet and simple
Jehovah knows
That I've been sinful

But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go

I'm not cruel
And you're not evil
And we're not like
All those stupid people
Who can't decide
Which book to read
Unless the paper
Sows deceit

You're the kind of person
That I've always wanted to be with
We'll you're really cool
And you always say the right things to me
But now I'll tell you something
From my heart beats for you deep inside
But never be a burden
And my love for you will never die,
never die, never die, never die, never die

But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go

But if Jesus comes to take your hand
I won't let go, I won't let go

Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
I swear it's getting warmer
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner
Good times around the corner

I'm gonna live 'til I die
I'm gonna live to get high

"Behind Closed Doors"

There is a secret place
Underneath a tree
Where if you go and haste
You will find a key
The key will open doors
And you will look inside
The things that you will see
Will open up your eyes

At any given time
On every other street
The city comes to life
Though everyone's asleep
A man beats up his wife
He doesn't wanna keep
Behind closed doors
They're in retreat

I don't know what makes me stay
The city life just ain't the same
There's something wrong with kids today
I blame the parents anyway
There's no hope
No one to trust
I can't cope
It's obvious
Please don't take my drugs away
I'm gonna give them up someday

There is a place somewhere
That I could call a home
I'd live without a care
I'd never be alone
One day I will get there
I feel it in my bones
I check upon the scores
I listen to The Coors
Behind closed doors

Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
They still want more
Behind closed doors

"Who's Joe?"

Hey Joe what you're doing?
It seems like it's all going wrong
There's a storm in the sky passing over
And it looks like it's going to be strong
You've got eyes like an old wounded soldier
They cry tears to the losts in the wind

Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
What are your gonna do?

I looked for you
I'll get you home
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
I've got to find you (Whatever you do)

I looked for you
I'll take you there
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
Whatever I do (Whatever you do)

Hey Joe what you're doing?
They say you don't care anymore
You had your heart [hurt?] by a woman
Now it doesn't work anymore
She said that you had it coming
That you were no good from the start

Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Hey Joe
Time to go home

I looked for you
I'll get you home
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
I've got to find you (Whatever you do)

I looked for you
I'll take you there
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I've got to find you
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)
Whatever I do (Whatever I do)

"Hey Now What You Doing"

Hey now what you doing
Don't go down the road to ruin
Look back at where you came from
Count to ten before you go wrong

You have the brightest future
Writing songs on your computer
But you couldn't walk the extra mile
And now your life is running wild

You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control

The days you've said to me
What is it that your eyes see
Is it love or is it hate
Banging on an opened gate

Hey now, who's that with you
What's that thing I saw him give you
Turn around don't come no closer
You took it from my shoulder holster

You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control

You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control

Why don't you put that gun right down
Before you kill the love you found

Hey now what you doing (what you doing)
Don't go down the road to ruin

"Waiting For The Sirens' Call"

What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before

There she ?? the lonely trail
Getting through the breaking winds
Drifting slowly from the coast
She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent

City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all around
Get on board we can't be late
Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the worlds
Filling up this universe
Can never be as close as us
We never shine as bright or??

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the wrong one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, hey
How many words do I have to say, hey
What can I do just to make you see
That you're so good for a man like
A man like me
