"The Way I Feel"

See what I'm driving at and I'm back behind the wheel
Just a little nervous - it's something to do with the way I feel
With the way I feel, with the way I feel
Trouble understanding - nothing too out of hand
A little overloaded - some kinda storm in the heart of the man
Oh - in the heart of the man
I must have heard it somewhere
I can't quite remember

Look what I've turned into and I'm back inside the car
We travelled in luxury - a little celebration went a touch too far
Just a touch too far, just a touch too far
I must have passed it somewhere
Now I can't quite remember
But here it comes again

The mirror tries to please me - the image wouldn't stay
The stranger is too perfect to take my breath away
The future rides beside me - tomorrow in his hand
The stranger turns to greet me and take me by the hand

Look what I've turned into, and I'm back inside the car
We travelled in luxury - a little celebration went a touch too far
Just a touch too far, just a touch
It something to do with the way I feel, with the way I feel

The mirror tries to please me [etc repeated]

"Helen Of Troy"


She walks like a gunslinger - laughs through the shots
Got some lead from the hips - she's so hot she can't stop
She loves like a steam train - out all the time
She fights like a bobcat - got some fame on her mind
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

Fire where the heart is - sweet home on the range
The call of the wild - see the beast with no name
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

The world is waiting here for you, you, you
Can't you see it anymore
The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Can't you see them anymore, anymore, anymore

The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Don't you just hear it anymore
The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Don't you feel it anymore, anymore, anymore

She's tall in the saddle - got a rose in her teeth
She's my hell incarnate - just walkin' down your street
You've seen the line on the glory from the heart of the flame
From the ... I don't know a story - but your song never change
Tell me why - oh, tell me why

The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Can't you feel it anymore
The world is waiting there for you, you, you
Can't you feel it anymore, anymore, anymore --

Shoot, shoot - she walks like a gunslinger
Shoot, shoot - I will I see your shots
Shoot, shoot - she walks like a gunslinger
Shoot, shoot - she laughs, laughs, laughs --

"Billy's Revenge"

   
Billy and Jenny will never get old
That's the kind of love in a story untold
Kisses are burning, and a touch is so hot
Crazy with lovin'

Wide as the sky and deep as the ocean
Crazy with love and wild devotion
Feeling went cool when the touching stopped
Crazy with lovin'

She's been looking for someone
He's been looking for someone
Oh - trouble gonna come someday

Billy comes home and Jenny's not there
Walkin' the floor and tearin' his hair
Feeling went cool when the touching stopped
Crazy with lovin'

He's been looking for someone
She's been looking for someone
Oh - trouble gonna come someday

Billy turned the corner
Goes through the night
Shaking in the shadows
Billy's only got one thing on his mind

It's a heartbreak town
It's a heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak

She's been looking for someone
He's been looking for someone

He's been looking for someone
She's been looking for someone
Oh - trouble gonna come someday
Bye bye trouble - trouble gonna leave you now

Billy and Jenny will never get old
That's the kind of love in a story untold
Kisses are burning and a touch is so hot
When you're crazy with lovin' you can't stop

"Ship Of Fools"

   
On waves of love my heart is breaking
And stranger still my self control I can't rely on anymore
New tides surprise - my world it's changing
Within this frame an ocean swells - behind this smile I know it well

Beneath a lover's moon I'm waiting
I am the pilot of the storm - adrift in pleasure I may drown
I built this ship - it is my making
And furthermore my self control I can't rely on anymore
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground

Who claims that no man is an island
While I land up in jeopardy - more distant from you by degrees
I walk this shore in isolation
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me
I know why - I know why
Crazy on a ship of fools
Crazy on a ship of fools
Turn this boat around - back to my loving ground
Oh no, oh no - ship of fools --

 "Why"

   
Oh - the sandman is running
Oh - he ain't telling you why
But she knows, yeah she knows
Oh - the thunder is roaring
Oh - hear his wings in the sky
And he knows
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know why
Oh why

Oh-oh - she wants it bad - oh-oh
Oh-oh - she wants it bad - oh-oh
When you're lost and found a brand new friend
Here comes another happy end

Mm - now the fat man is falling
Oh - see that tear in your eye
'Cause you know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know why
Oh why

Oh-oh - she wants it bad [etc repeated]

Oh - now the new day is dawning
Oh - till their pasts mystify
And you know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know why
Oh why, why, why --

 "White, Clean And Neat"

   
Thirteenth day of August '54 I was five years old
Depending where you're counting from
Mama didn't tell me what was going abroad
No tales of things to come
Daddy, daddy come home in the evening with the burdens of the day
Pat Boone might come along and take Daddy's blues away
Mama might take Daddy's head into her hands
Soothe awhile, soothe awhile, touch the boy inside the man

Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
It's such a long, long way from the streets
Beneath her skirts, between the clean, white sheets
It's such a long, long way from the streets

Miss Debbie Reynolds promised someone out there always to obey
[Sugar, sugar, white, clean and neat]
And there was no one better qualified to cry awhile, cry awhile
Not quite like Mr Johnny Ray
[Sugar, sugar, white, clean and neat]
[Sugar, sugar, white, clean and neat]

Beneath her skirts [etc repeated]

Baby, don't you want me no more?
Don't you want me no more?
Oh yeah - talk to me

Down at the juke joint, back at the drive-in movie show
Moondog made one more white boy sanctify
Out on the streets, the red hot streets, old heroes fell
And I screamed my name with pride

Beneath her skirts [etc repeated]

Hey, baby - don't you want me baby?
Don't you want me no more?

"Walking Towards Paradise"

   
Hearts on fire - burning fast
Love, desire - make sweet love last
This one we'll sing now
Soon you'll finally see all this mystery
Wouldn't it be nice - wouldn't it be nice
[Walking towards paradise]
[Walking towards paradise]

On days like this, nights confirm
You know so much - so much to learn
Soon you'll finally see all this mystery
Wouldn't it be nice - wouldn't it be nice
[Walking towards paradise]
[Walking towards paradise --]

Come with me - now come with me
[Walking towards paradise]
[Walking towards paradise --]

"Hurting Kind (I've Got My Eyes On You)"

   
She's the girl of my dreams - she's the girl on my mind
She used to play me for a fool 'cause she's the hurting kind

I lost my heart in the East - another part in the West
You better jump back baby - you're the girl I love the best

I'm gonna ride the wind - there's nothing I won't do
I'm coming up real fast - I got my eyes on you

I see your eyes of love - well tell me what you see
I see your long black hair moving over me

Oh yes, I feel good now, now
Let's talk about love, let's talk about love
Let's talk about love, let's talk about it
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you

I lost my heart over here - another part over there
I still got plenty left, and baby I don't care

Oh, let's talk about love, let's talk about love
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you

Don't blame me - I won't hurt you - don't blame me
It's plain to see you know the real me

She's the girl of my dreams - she's the girl on my mind
She used to play me for a fool - she's the hurting kind

Gonna go around the world - nothing I won't do
Coming up real fast - I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you
Alright, alright, alright, I got my eyes on you --

 "S S S & Q"

   
I'll kiss the flower in your hair
I'll kiss your flower everywhere
I give my love but you don't care that I want you

Was it like heaven in your arms?
Or was it some place else that charmed?
My self-control is on my arm - I want you

Here comes the rain again - there goes another lonely day
If I could only whisper to you across the whole, I'll say

I've spent the hours in your caress
Your caress is still the best
Oh mother of God, I've made a mess - I love you

Here comes the rain again [etc repeated]

Girl, girl - all my world
Make me, take me if you would
Soak, shake, splash, and quake
Taste your flower - tastes so good

Here comes the rain again - there goes another lonely day
If I could only whisper to you across the whole, I'll say
Here comes the pain again, while you're so far away
I lie and wonder whether it's just too much to pay

My close attention took my seed
You satisfy my every need
Gonna let it grow for another year
I need you, I need you, I need you --

Girl, girl - all my world [etc repeated]

"I Cried"


I cried, babe - oh, I cried
I saw you in a movie - or was it on my wall
I never dreamed you'd talk to me - I never dreamed at all

You fitted very strongly - you might have changed my life
Oh, I was very young then - you came along just right
This is what I cried
Now you know I cried

I walked the stellar ceiling - my feet were off the ground
You talked of something permanent when Saturday comes round
This is what I cried
This is why I cried
This is what I cried
Now you know I cried

Kisses gone crazy - come on, tease me 'till I scream
Promise is a maybe, running through my dream
It's what I hear you whisper, soft across my room
Chase my whole confusion - wrest me from my gloom
This is what I cried
Now you know I cried

Your eyes are where the summer lives in pools of quiet fire
Come mess with my sincerity - go down on my desire
I feast on your expression - the smile that tells it all
On my mind forever - forever on my wall
This is what I cried
Now you know I cried
This is what I cried
This is what I cried
