GOODBYE MIRACLES
Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle
Sittin’ in a cornfield, Tennessee Need some sign, some guarantee Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle If only my friends could see me now One of these days you’ll be crawlin’ back Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle Gimme a sign, gimme one of your lines Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle Sittin’ in a cornfield, Tennessee One of these days you’ll be crawlin’ back Hell’s Bells again, message from the heavens Strangers from the sky drop by They call and they call Home, home on the Range They call, an’ they call In the alligator rain, ten seconds on the clock They call an’ they call Resolve, dissolve, re-call, they fall They try, they lie, they cry, they die Nobody home. I’m looking from the window Whatcha gonna do when the hurricane hits you? I’m waitin’ for the thunder Silver bracelet, satin gown Come on and take my hand Empty faces, silent town All I needed was your love Followin’ you around ‘cos every creep in town they
wanna hold you near I keep a stainless mind it works every time I get so much
done. I know what you want and everything you crave, do you
understand? Nobody
Calls Me That Call me superstitious but am I outa luck? Don’t wanna say nothin’ that you don’t wanna hear You could’ve called me a lily-assed one-eyed clown Don’t often stick around when trouble begins Do
It! In a Tax-free zone, down a tin-can alley Do it, do it, just do it! There’s a man in my street keeps a flock of grey doves Do it, do it, just do it, just do it! There, there, there my sweet Do it, do it, just do it! Do it, do it, just do it! Darkness fell on me with a vengeance tonight There was a time when we could’ve reached for the skies Nothing in my eyes my love It’s hard to sleep away the images I see I’ve been thinking ‘bout a time when all the world was
fine I heard about your felony Walk out, just when I need ya, You closed so many doors in my face Walk out, just when I need ya, You always could rely on me Walk out, just when I need ya, Shake! I love getting all in a mess; I love a stranger’s
distress There’s a slow train comin’ and it’s bringin’ no
thrills I love the smell of Gasoline Stations From the Folky in the gutter to the dyke from Hollywood
Hills Shake! I love makin’ fun of my nose; I love how your garden
grows There’s a slow train comin’ an’ it’s bringin’ no
thrills Shake! Shake!
Shake! Money and girls Just gone midnight, another lonely night ahead Don’t keep me waitin’ I don’t understand you I give you everything you want Don’t keep me waitin’
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
I can see you, sure as hell you see me
There’s a lack of good feedin’, there’s a sack of good
reason
In the back of my neck, there’s a pain ain’t
relievein’
If the sun’s gonna shine, let it shine on me
Tell me what have I done to you?
What have I gone through?
What am I to do without your love?
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
Pissin’ in the wind ‘til the midnight hour
If I had some pride, I’d be whippin’ my hide
Then deliver you the body with a note that rhymes
One of these days when the sky turns black
When a pig flies by in a pink tie-dye for you
What am I to do without your love?
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye……no
‘bout stickin’ your head in the oven tonight by five
One in the eye, what a pleasant surprise
I can almost feel the turning of the knife inside
So clinical, goodbye my miracle, goodbye
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
Bye, bye miracle, goodbye, bye miracle
Goodbye, bye miracles, goodbye
I can see you, sure as hell you see me
There’s a lack of good feedin’, there’s a sack of good
reason
In the back of my neck, there’s a pain ain’t
relievein’
Need some sign, some guarantee
If the sun’s gonna shine, let it shine on me
Tell me what have I done to you?
What have I gone through?
What am I to do?
If only my friends could see me now
Pissin’ in the wind ‘til the midnight hour
If I had some pride, I’d be whippin’ my hide
Then deliver you the body with a note that says goodbye
I said goodbye, oh goodbye, just goodbye, I said goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye
I said goodbye, let me tell you
One of these days when the sky turns black
When a pig flies by in a pink tie-dye for you
What am I to do without your love, without your love?
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I said goodbye, I said goodbye, I said goodbye, I said
goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Nobody
Home
Let it slide, just let it slide
Won’t take the blame
Say, leave your name and number, thanks, bye
The call comes thru, the call comes thru
Then the call comes thru an’ we don’t know what to do
You can see it in their eyes
They’ve got nothin’ much better to do
Better than you
Take to your beds
Try an’ take to covering up your heads
Quit spoiling the view
Then the call comes thru
An’ they don’t know what to do
There’s no-one listening, nobody
They call, they call, they call and they call
There’s no-one answering, nobody
Nobody home
Never seen a better way of stuffin’ that stuff
Right up out of view, out of the blue
It’s only painful when you laugh, don’t laugh
When you’re dealin’ with psychopaths
Only thing you can do
Then the call comes thru, an’ we don’t know what to do
There’s no-one listening, nobody
They call, they call, they call, they call
There’s no-one answering, nobody
Nobody home
When your feet have caught fire tellin’ Hell`n yellin’
"Make it stop, just make it stop!"
There’s a toll-free you can dial, got everything on file
It’s a mediator, radiator, second-class taper to talk
Then the call comes thru, an’ we don’t know what to do
There’s no-one listening, nobody
They call, they call, they call and they call
There’s no-one answering, nobody
Nobody home
There’s no-one listening, nobody home
There’s no-one answering, nobody home
Hammer
Comes Down
I hear the radio playin’ my kinda town
Don’t want to be a loser
Gonna lose myself in my kinda town
You’re sellin’ me a reason
You’re tellin’ me it’s pleasin’ you
I know you’re lying
Oh yeah when the hammer comes down
Whatcha gonna do when the dealer outwits you?
Oh yeah when the hammer comes down
Is it any wonder that I’m cryin’ inside?
Don’t wanna go crazy
It’s never easy when you’re dyin’ inside
It’s gettin’ kinda late for you
I’m never gonna wait for you
In silent promise
Take
My Hand
Smile for me baby
Make me feel alright
Endless highway, dead of night
Don’t look in the mirror
Everything will be alright
I’ll take you where nothin’s planned
No need to run, it’s over and done
If you take my hand
Dance for me baby
Make me feel alright
Don’t you cry out in the darkness
Don’t pray in the morning
We can pray for the light
All I wanted was a little company
We all need just a little lovin’ care
And comfort to get us through the night
Friend
Forgive my despair I’m not spoken for anywhere
I get all messed up baby everybody needs a friend
In some uncertain way you look so temperate like you would
give in, some
I get all messed up baby everybody needs a friend
Aw c’mon lets dance baby everybody needs a friend.
Supposing you could speak would you speak to me, nothing
planned?
Don’t waste my time baby everybody needs,
C’mon lets dance baby everybody needs a friend.
A friend.
I can tell I’m out of favour, more than enough
Please wont you tell I’m devoid of a clue
How come I’m getting you heated?
Is it something I do?
But there’s a little demon whisprin’ in my left ear
He say, "It don’t appear likely you’re required
tonight
Why don’t you take your butt elsewhere, business is
tight"
I can take so much of your Autocrat-chat
But you’ve blown it big time mister
Nobody calls me that
Could’ve called me Marie, I’d-a-never turned around
Could’ve said my mother likes to take it in back
But you’ve blown it big time mister
Nobody calls me that
But your mouth’s so big I gotta fill it in
Ah you were too dumb, way too dumb to quit
So don’t patronise, ‘cos it don’t mean shit
Gonna leave here wearin’ your baseball bat
3 times a lady, boy, nobody…………calls me that!
There’s a slipper girl-thing
and a man named Sally
They were talk-talk-talkin’ ‘bout a final little coffin
nail
Seems, down at the Docks, the intended lies a-waitin’
And the privileged information’s gonna get wet too.
Y’can’t be too careful when it comes to being careful
An’ he’s set in his ways, wearin’ Everlast gloves
His opinion can be beat when push becomes a shove
Says he doesn’t give a monkey ‘bout youth of the day
They should all drop dead, should be taken away
Put somewhere cold and all be made to stay
You can sip it thru a straw; you can throw it back neat
Just don’t be hesitatin’ waitin’ for it
Cos in the ideal world I’d be coming for you
Could be tokin’ on the bale, could be sniffin’ that
glue
Better stake your fakin’ reputation on it
Colour
My Love
Now my darkness has a name
I can’t make you stay, I don’t have the right
Least of all when I’m to blame
Dreams all painted up in blue
So what’s the reasoning behind those blue eyes?
What is left for us to do when all our dreams spin out of view?
Just a pain inside my love
Is it night or day, all I see is grey?
Colour my love
When all my visions are of you
I feign indifference from thoughts that shouldn’t be
Tell myself I’ll make it through
When all I really need is you
And the colour of love was yours and mine
Every bright new day was goin’ our way
And the nights were warm and long
Ain’t it funny how the change came on so fast?
And the dreams all faded
That our love would last I believed an’ I still believe
Our love goes on and on and on
Walk
Out
It's been comin' for a long time
You say you wanna set me free
But I never get to know why
You've been actin' in a curious way
You leave me nothin' but the bills to pay
Walk out, take a walk
Walk out, just when it pleases ya
Walk out, just take a walk
But I try to keep a level head
Now someone else is takin' my place
I'm a thorn in your flower bed
It’s never easy to say goodbye
You hang around just to see me cry
Walk out, take a walk
Walk out, just when it pleases ya
Walk out, just take a walk
To be there when you were falling down
Now you bring me to my knees
I ain’t beggin' you to stay around
Walk out, take a walk
Walk out, just when it pleases ya
Walk out, just take a walk
Money
& Girls
I like your verbal attack; I love answering back
Just treason with a reason called money and girls
Please, Mr Postman, my heart’s in a whirl
There’s gotta be somethin’ in the sack ’bout money
and girls
An’ the way the League of Nations always screwed up
I love playin’ ovens in Dutch, I love doin’ nothin’
much
They’re singin’ "Here’s another ditty ’bout
money and girls.”
There’s a solitary guru sittin’ in a tower of molten
guilt
Cryin’ "I’ve sinned Father, sinned ‘bout money
and girls.”
Please, Mr Postman, my heart’s in a whirl, there’s
gotta be
Somethin’ in the sack, somethin’ in the sack
Of money and girls
Get off drivin’ real fast cars’ get a buzz eatin’
Willie Wonka candy bars
There’s a friend worth believin’, It’s money and
girls
Please, please, pretty please, pretty damn please
It’ll freeze an’ you won’t notice, focus, money and
girls
There’s a snake in the grass and it’s closin’ on you
fast but
Money and girls only thing that’s gonna last
Money and girls it’s future in the past
Better cover your ass, cover your ass
Hey you Mr Postman, my heart’s in a whirl
There’s gotta be somethin’ in the sack about money and
girls
There’s a solitary guru sittin’ in a Tower of molten
guilt
Cryin’ "I’ve sinned Father, sinned Father, sinned
Father
Sinned Father over and over and over
Money and girls
Don’t
Keep Me Waitin’
I could use a little love cos I’m slowly goin’ out of
my head
I really wanna call you but I can do without the pain
Why’d you have to lead me on and then leave me cold
again?
I’m so alone without your love
Don’t keep me waitin’
I’ve been the loser long enough
There’s gotta be another way I cant rely on your lovin’
at all
Do you really want me or am I wasting all my time?
You really gotta let me know tell me baby will you ever be
mine?
I’m so alone without your love
