1. THE PARTY AIN'T OVER YET

There's a trouble wind blowing through my crazy life
I feel the chill begin, it's gonna be a long long night
I hear the thunder roll, but i dont fear the lightning strike
'Cause deep inside i know
I'm gonna make it through alright

So let the walls come tumbling down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeh, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet

Every drop of rain that ever fell into my eyes
Helps me ride this pain, they were a blessing in disguise
And i know in time, this'll soon be yesterday
There's nothing i can't climb, i've got the will to find the way

So let the walls come tumbling down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeh, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet

So when the morning comes, i'll do more than just survive
I'll walk in to the sun, and live until i die

So let the walls come tumbling down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeh, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet

The party ain't over yet
The party ain't over yet
The party ain't over yet
The party ain't over yet


2. GOTTA GET UP AND GO

Sitting outside on a chair in the summer
Not a lot on my mind
I can do lots or not if i wanna
Even if then i find

I've gotta get up
Gonna be back i know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
Better get up and go
I gotta get up and go

Taking my time 'cos i ain't in a hurry
Not a lot else to do
I can lay back and i don't have to worry
Leaving that up to you

I've gotta get up
Gonna be back i know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
Better get up and go

Wait just a minute
There's something in it
That i need i know

Walking the dog gets me up in the morning
Johnny don't like me late
Radio news and the sun stops me yawning
Everything else can wait

I've gotta get up
Gonna be back i know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
I've gotta get up
Gotta go do a show
I've gotta get up
Gotta get up and go
Better get up and go
Gonna get up and go

Wait just a minute
There's something in it
I know how to win it
There's something in it
That i need i know

Gotta get up and go
Gotta get up and go
Gotta get up and go
I gotta get up and go

I've gotta get up
Gonna be back i know
I've gotta get up
Better get up and go
I've gotta get up
Gotta go do a show
I've gotta get up
Gotta get up and go
Better get up


3. ALL THAT COUNTS IS LOVE

Got a feelin' that i can't shake off
I know it well, it feels just like love
Started from the moment i met you
I didn't wanna fall in love again
But it's a fight your head'll never win
Your heart knows there is nothin' you can do

Your convalesing blues are shattered
You're back in love and nothing else matters

All that really counts is love
If you've got love then that's enough
You might have the midas touch
But it don't add up to much
Cos all that counts is love

What it is you'll never quite pin down
People say it makes the world go round
All i know is nothing tastes so sweet
I know sometimes it can fade and die
You go on living but you don't know why
Then you meet someone who knocks you off your feet

Your painful memories get scattered
You're back in love and nothing else matters

All that really counts is love
If you've got love then that's enough
You might have the midas touch
But it don't add up to much
Cos all that counts is love

And aint it crazy, the way we never really learn at all
That love can hurt you, desert you, that's forgotten when you fall

Love is cruel, but it's all forgiven
I'm back in love, and i'm headed for heaven

All that really counts is love
If you've got love then that's enough
You might have the midas touch
But it don't add up to much
Cos all that counts is love

All that counts is love
All that counts is love
All that counts is love
All that counts is love


4. FAMILIAR BLUES

The more you criticize me
The more i know im right
I just cant stop this need for you
To help me through the night
And though you treat me badly
Treat me like a slave
Sure no one would believe it
The way that you behave

Sometimes i dare to wonder
Is there life after you
Could my heart stand the loneliness
Could my head see it through

And i say oh,oh,oh,oh

I thought that we were perfect
The best there'd ever been
I would be your gypsy king
And you would be my queen
But real life just ain't like that
And so before to long
My sweet and happy melody
Became a sadder song

And though the tune is different
That old familiar blues
There is nothing i would change in us
There is nothing i could lose

And i say oh,oh,oh,oh

And though the tune is different
That old familiar blues
There is nothing i would change in us
There is nothing i could lose

And i say oh,oh,oh,oh

That old familiar blues


5. THE BUBBLE

Would someone be so kind
As to tell me where i am
I feel a time and a space
That i really can't explain
There's a long road behind me
But it's hazy up ahead
Maybe i should draw the curtains
Maybe i should get to bed
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room

What day is it this morning
Do i know and do i care?
The bag man is calling
We're moving on from here
I'm in and out of focus
I'm in and out of touch
No need and no connection
With reality and such

I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room

And i'm hanging on
Hanging on
Yeh i'm hanging on
Hanging on

I cut a key to the highway
I was barely seventeen
I was gonna do it my way
The best there'd ever been
Born to be a winner
Never ever lose
No deals with the devil
Just the rhythm and the blues

I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room

And i'm hanging on
Hanging on
Yeh i'm hanging on
Hanging on

I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room
I love it in the bubble

I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
I love it in the bubble
It's like living on the moon
I love in the buble


6. BELLAVISTA MAN

I got a room with a view from the mountain to the sea
It's blowin cold outside but i'm as warm as i can be
Got a painting by da vinci on my door
Got a tiger hide done lying on the floor
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman

Don't need no pills no aphrodisiac
I'm looking for some brand new scratch marks on my back
So if you wear a little dress that starts late ends early
I can be the doctor you can be the nursey
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman
Bella vista woman

I'm gonna advertise my vacancy
Cos i need a partner on the board of my company
When word gets around there's gonna be a rush
So get in early, get in touch

I'm gonna advertise my vacancy
Cos i need a partner on the board of my company
When word gets around there's gonna be a rush
So get in early, get in touch

I got a room with a view from the mountain to the sea
And all i need right now is that special company
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman


7. NEVASHOODA

Shoulda known better when i fell for you
Shoulda known better than to follow it through
Nevashooda touched
Nevashooda kissed
Lord knows you didn't insist
Shoulda known better
Point-blank range
You hit my heart
Bullseye babe
I'm blown apart
I hate that

Shoulda known you'd put a spell on me
When all i wanted was company
Nevashooda listened
Nevashooda looked
Lord knows you got me hooked
Shoulda known better
You had it planned
From the start
Bullseye babe
You stole my heart
I hate that

I nevashooda
Nevashooda
I nevashooda
Nevashooda

Shoulda known better than to let you down
Shoulda known better than to play the clown
Nevashooda strayed
Nevashooda lied
Lord knows how i'll survive
Shoulda known better
Point-blank range
I hit your heart
Bullseye babe
We're torn apart
I hate that

I nevashooda
Nevashooda
I nevashooda
Nevashooda

Shoulda known better than to pull your string
Shoulda known better than to do that thing

Shoulda known better than to cut you out
Shoulda known better than to scream and shout

Shoulda known better than to call your name
Shoulda known better than to play your game

I nevashooda
Nevashooda
I nevashooda
Nevashooda


8. VELVET TRAIN

Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train

I got me a ticket
Packed my case
Put my best suit on
And i washed my face
Short on spending money
But the champagne's complimentary
Now look this ticket's for 2 is there a chance that you would

Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train

We be leaving when you're ready
If you just say yes
Rolling down the line
Destination happiness

Tell me this and tell me no more
Are you riding with me i got to know for sure
We can rock and roll and save our souls
So before we get too old

Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train
Ride with me honey on the velvet train


9. GOODBYE BABY

I hear a car out the back
I see a full moon rising
It's my red cadillac
My baby's leaving me
Now thing's are getting harder
'Cos she's gone from a to b

She's on a long dusty track
Sure ain't surprising
My days are looking black
Ain't no way to be
See i don't care about my baby
But my cadillac is all to me

So goodbye baby baby goodbye
Goodbye baby baby goodbye
If you come running
Gonna have to ask you why

When i'm back in the sack
And i'm realising
I know she ain't coming back
It's so plain to see
Don't wanna hear about my baby
Just want my caddy back with me

I'm sitting here out the back
And i'm still surviving
Guess she ain't coming back
So plain to see
Now things are getting harder
Since she's gone away from me

So goodbye baby baby goodbye
Goodbye baby baby goodbye
If you come running
Gonna have to ask you why

Don't wanna hear about my baby
Just want my caddy back with me


10. YOU NEVER STOP

You were a vision on your wedding day
I won't forget that little white dress
But you were marrying my best friend
I never showed i was so depressed
Pretty soon you and him were through
And you were sharing my point of view
I made a play, we got together
We were in love for forever
But i was wrong stormy weather

You never stop your moanin' and your hollerin' baby
I never heard nobody talk so much
One day i'm gonna see your lips close together
You win
I surrender
You win
You never stop

I tell you i don't wanna take no more
It ain't like you ever stop to think
About the hurt you're putting on my brain
It's enough to drive a man to drink
You give me hard times and it ain't fair
I got a suntan from all the hot air
I need to see a new reflection
I need to change my direction
You and me a bad connection

You never stop your moanin' and your hollerin' baby
I never heard nobody talk so much
One day i'm gonna see your lips close together
You win
I surrender
You win
You never stop

So goodbye
Hasta la vista
I'm movin' on
With your sister
I do declare
That i won't miss ya

Cos you never stop your moanin' and your hollerin' baby
I never heard nobody talk so much
One day i'm gonna see your lips close together
You win
I surrender
You win
You never stop


11. KICK ME WHEN I'M DOWN

It didn't take you long, to find someone new
You moved right along, i can't believe it's true
And worst of all, it's my best friend,
Aint that really rubbin' it in

Kick me when i'm down, why don't you
Kick me when i'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when i'm down, i tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

You say we'd grown apart, and that your love had died
But you made a new start, babe, before my tears had dried
I called my buddy, 'cos i was alone,
That's when you answered the phone
Kick me when i'm down, why don't you
Kick me when i'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when i'm down, i tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

Well i'm no stranger to pain, i got it down to a tee
From the school of hard knocks, i got my honorary phd
I didn't ask for this, i didn't treat you bad
A fool for your kiss, i gave you everything that i had
But you were wearing my old pal's ring,
While i was still wearing black
Kick me when i'm down, why don't you
Kick me when i'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when i'm down, i tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

Kick me when i'm down, why don't you,
Kick me when i'm down, kick me when i'm down,
Why don't you splatter my brains all over town
Kick me when i'm down


12. CUPID STUPID

You've got so many secrets and tell so many lies
You think you're cupid stupid your body never cries
You don't do anything not at all
You just want everything you want it all
You're hanging out your window feeling bad inside
You never think it matters anytime at all
I'm going undercover everytime you call
You never stop to think now you take me for a ride
And so it's stupid cupid you're really gonna slide

Now when the battles over the war just carries on
But if it hadn't started it couldn't come undone
Don't say anything not a word
Would be the sweetest thing i ever heard
I don't know how to break it it isn't very clear
So am i going crazy or is it just a dream
Waiting at the station running out of steam
I'm trying hard to tell you you never wanna hear
And so it's stupid cupid i whisper in your ear

Why why why don't i
Fly fly fly goodbye

And now it's nearly over i'm thinking very clear
I'm gonna run for cover but you don't wanna hear
Whats been going on you and me
Maybe it never was meant to be
Now i'm looking forward never turning back
When i think about it i bet you're still the same
Never gonna change you d'you reckon it's a game
You think that life's a movie a picture on the wall
And so it's stupid cupid and nothing much to call

Why why why don't i
Fly fly fly goodbye


13. THIS IS ME

I opened up the paper, i was all across the page
With another senorita, will i ever act my age
I always hurt the people that care for me, it's true
But i can't help myself, it's just one of those things i do

I ain't no casanova, not like it reads in the book
I'm just trying to find this love thing though it's taking a long hard look
If you need your heart breaking you've come to the right place
Just be aware of the buyer beware sign written on my face

This is me
This is me
What you get is what you see
This is me

I don't want your sympathy
And i can't help what you think of me

Looking for something
Laughing at nothing
Dreaming of what could be

This is me
This is me
What you get is what you see
This is me

One day i will meet my fate, complete my destiny
No pearly gates, no angel mates waiting there for me
Don't ask me the reason why i take it to the wire
I just live it fast, this life's a blast
Sometimes you got to play with fire

Looking for something
Laughing at nothing
Dreaming of what could be

This is me
This is me
What you get is what you see
This is me
