1. LAUNDROMAT


what do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
if you should pass you should drop my bag

but I don't have no clothes to clean
to put inside the machine
but it was the craziest place I have ever been

oh, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me right through to the end(twice)

say I told you so
maybe bad times come and go
you don't know that right now well then you'll never know

what do you think of that
I'm on the street like an old straycat
if you should look for me you'd know exactly where to go

oh, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me to the end, put me to the end

what do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
if you should pass by drop right in

but I don't have no clothes to clean
to put inside the machine
It was the craziest place I have ever been

well, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me right through to the end(twice)



2. HANDS UP



Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playin
You won't feel the same I'm betting now

Get up you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasin
Think of all the time you're wastin now

My world is upside down
My inside is inside out
I'm hangin to a leaf that's shakin
Thats hangin to a branch that's breakin off now

Go out into the night
Left to the sky
Youll walk out the shoes you're wearin
Might even lose your blues, no tellin now



3. SINNER BOY



city streets and rolling cars
the only sound you can hear
but you know you might be wrong
just look right over here
back up against the wall
hands on the bottle
you're gonna walk on by
but then he crys you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta..

take that sinner boy home
wrap him up, keep him warm
he won't do you no harm
take him home right away
he's got no place to stay
let him walk right inside your home

go on and ask him his name
let him try to explain
what the world done him wrong
tell the man, lift him up
take away the paper cup
one more inside him won't do him no good
sinner boy

take that sinner boy home
wrap him up, keep him warm
he won't do you no harm
take him home right away
he's got no place to stay
let him walk right inside your home

take that sinner boy home
wrap him u



4. JUST THE SMILE



Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
Could warm up the room and set fire to the place
Yes it could, you know it could
Now the fog is clinging all over the town

put one foot in front, then you might just fall down -
on the ground. She's in town
Like the rain that is falling all over the land
She cools down my mind when she touches my hand

Feels so good yes so good
Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
it could warm up the room and set fire to the place
yes it could, you know it could



5. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I' M GOING



I don't know where I'm going,
Don't know where I've been.
'Cause I haven't seen my baby,
Since I don't know when.

I'm walking down that long road,
With a smile up on my face.
I'm broken hearted,
But you won't see a trace.

Feeling disconnected,
These blues are out to kill.
Sweep them in the corner,
Put 'em in the bin.

All right so you don't sympathise,
Don't expect that you should.
Walk right for one day you might,
Run into this patch of grey clouds too.

All right so you don't sympathise,
I don't expect that you should.
Stay bright for one day you might,
Run into this patch of grey clouds too.

Gravel in my pockets,
From the places I have been,
The soles of my shoes are paper thin.

I got sand here in my pockets.
From the place that I come from.
That's where I'm going,
So I'll say so long...yeah.



6. I COULD'VE HAD RELIGION


I could've had religion, I could religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray
I swear to the world she drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away, she drove my spirit away

I could've had religion, I could've had religion
But my little girl wouldn''t let me pray
I tell the truth, she drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away

I could've been, I could've been a preacher,
But I changed my mind the other nigh
The woman I have now, she would not treat me right
She would not treat me right

I've been a bad man, as bad can be
Gonna pray to the Lord above to send his blessing on me
I want some mercy, you got set my soul free
Set my soul free, Please..

I could've had, I could've had religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray.
Well, demon woman, you sent the devil my way,
You sent the devil my way.

Oh Lord above please send my fire,
Send your mercy right down to me.
That woman set the devil on me,
She set the devil on me,
She set the devil one me,
She set the devil on me.

Could've had religion



7. USED TO BE


Baby i no longer wanna be
just a thorn in your side
Tell me what you gave me baby
and i will give you back
The troubles you gave to me
Gonna wrap em up in a box
tie 'em up with string
send 'em back to you
They no longer mean a thing to me

Better get used to bein' my used to be

Baby i no longer wanna be
just a cushion for your pride
here's my badge back baby
This man's gotta ride away
Before you make me change my mind
I'll be gone before you notice that i'm not around
You'll look everywhere baby
but i just won't be found

Better get used to being my used to be

I used to be the hands of your clock baby
But i always knew in time
I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby
and you would change your mind

I used to be the hands of your clock baby
But i always knew in time
I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby
and you would suddenly change your mind

Baby i remember a time
when you really used to try
But nowadays baby
you can't even look me in the eye
Your love is drifting with the tide
Well i ain't gonna blame you
if you ain't gonna blame me
I'll just move on down
i'm sure that you'll agree

get used to bein' my used to be

Well i ain't gonna blame you
if you ain't gonna blame me
I'll just move on down the line
i'm sure that you'll agree
better get used to bein' my used to be



8. IN YOUR TOWN


Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, I won't stand no messin' round.

The first man I wanna see is the Chief of Police
Bring that man right over here,
I wanna speak my piece
I wanna cause no trouble, no fuss, no fight
But look out man, you know this is Saturday night.

The second man I wanna see is the old Fire Chief
Bring that man right over here
Stand him right in front of me
I wanna cause no trouble, no fuss, no fight
See this match, I'm gonna set this place a light
so look out

You come along baby and ask me where i've been
The third man I wanna see is the old D.A.
He was the man who sent me away
22 years 23 days 24 minutes i was locked away
You come along baby and ask me where i've been
Having a little holiday up in Sing Sing

Sing Sing
Sing Sing
When i came out i couldn't feel a,
i couldn't feel a, i couldn't feel a thing
I couldn't feel a thing, I couldn't feel a thing
feel a thing,feel a thing
Feel a thing

Now i'm back
In your town
In your town
In your town
In your town



9. SHOULD'VE LEARNT MY LESSON



Should've learnt my lesson
Long long time ago
Should've learnt my lesson
Long long time ago
Bored like a mule
I've always learnt my lesson slow

Should have listened
Taken my friends advice
Should have listened
To my best friends and to my eyes
They said "you must be prepared to lose"
If you choose to chance the dice

Well i'm feeling
About as tired as a bad pair of shoes
When you don't fit
Then you know it's time to move
But if you had my troubles you'd be cryin too

My first mistake
Was when i thought that you'd be true
My first mistake
Was when i thought that you'd be true
Now i realise that was a foolish thing to do




10. CREST OF A WAVE




Well you can ride on the crest of a wave,

If that's where you want to be,

But does the look on your face,

Mean you're really feeling happy?

Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,

Or a poor man much to proud to beg,

Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?

You gotta see by the way that they are talking,

That it's time for you to pick up your grip... start walking,

'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying,

Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and,

Don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all.


They won't be satisfied,

Till you're out of their sight,

But I wonder how will they feel,

With a deck of cards,

And you're not around to deal.... yeah.


They won't be satisfied,

Till you're out of their sight,

But I wonder how will they feel,

With a deck of cards,

You're not around to deal?

You're not around to deal.


Well, they say it's a lie, a joke that you are living,

But you know one thing they don't, you won't give in.

'Cause you're like a cat, chasin' its tail,

Makes a million circles, but you're gonna fail,

Look down you just don't understand.


Well you can ride on the crest of a wave,

If that's where you want to be,

But does the look on your face,

Mean you're really feeling happy?

Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,

A poor man much to proud to beg,

Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?


Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,

Or a poor man much to proud to beg,

Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?

Read at all
