歌词

1. SHANGHAID

Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore
New York, Boston and Baltimore
They'll take you right down where you don't want to go
If you talk too fast and you walk too slow

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

I tried to live by the golden rule
Do unto others and they'll do unto you
Every time I get turned on I end up singing the same song

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

I was crossing the desert on a sunny day
I met two women that passed my way
They took me to a tent and they locked the door
And all they ever said was "More, more"

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

And I'm standing right here with my usual slack
Police got me for talking back
"You're out on the street, you'd better watch your step
If you talk too loud, now button your lip"

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

Sitting in a bar in West Berlin
Sipping on a glass that's low again
Talking to a woman I thought I knew
The lights went out and I did too

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid


2. HOLD ON BABY

I've got a fine-looking woman, she's fine and brown
She likes to boogie in the kitchen, likes to boogie 'round town

Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me

Talking about that woman, she's up early in the morning
Making love with me before the break of dawn

Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me

Every night about twelve o'clock
She starts making love to me till I think I'm gonna drop

Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me

She's a fine-looking woman, she's fine, no doubt
Everything I need but she's wearing me out

Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me

Don't get me wrong, I'm a-tellin' you right
Since I met her I get no sleep at night

Hold on baby, hold on baby
Hold on baby, you're moving too fast for me


3. NO TIME

No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting my groove, no time

Summer comes and summer gone
When I sing the very same song
Set apart of all the scene
How we long for all our dreams

No time for making no moves, no time
No time for hitting no grooves, no time

The clock it turns at a rapid pace
Takes us to another place
The train it goes from here to there
Just left me standing here

No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting my grooves, no time

I had the blues this morning I cried all day
I guess you lose the blues in the morning If you cry 'em away

No time for making my moves, oh no time
No time for hitting my grooves, no, no time


4. LADY LUCK

Lady Luck, please just listen to me
Mistress of fantasy
Send a dream my way
Can you come and make my day

Lady Luck, elusive as you are
You're just a fleeding star
You never hit the sky
With you I seem to fly

Lady Luck, hold on to my hand
I'm standing on shifting sand
I'm a dreamer don't you know
Lady Luck, just don't let go

Lady Luck, hard as it may seem
When you pass out all your dreams
Could you keep me in your mind
I'd like to see you one more time


5. DISADVANTAGE

Sometime in the morning, before the break of day
I lose my direction, I can't find my way
I can't find nobody to tell my troubles to
I get so sad and lonesome

Guess I'll tell 'em all to you
Got me at a disadvantage, you had me outta here
I just want loving, the way don't seem clear
Got me at a disadvantage, that's the way I feel

Love is forever
Love is for real

Some kind of fascination, that's the reason why
First time I seen you, you were so shy
Got me at a disadvantage, that's the way I feel

Love is forever
Love is for real


6. LEAN ON ME

Lean on me, baby
Lean on me, for a while
Lean on me, baby
Lean on me, baby child

Won't bring you down, baby
Won't bring you down, no sirree
Won't bring you down, baby
Won't bring you down, just lean on me

Come on, baby
Come on, for a while
Come on, baby
Lean on me, baby child


7. END OF THE LINE

Trains don't run forever
Fire goes out sometime
Gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line

Pages of yesterday
Fill this book of mine
Gotta tell you, baby
It is the end of the line

I can't remember those good old days
They are from a different time
I gotta tell you, baby
We've come to the end of the line


8. NEW ORLEANS

Have you ever been down to New Orleans
Lord, lord, them crazy queens
Crying the blues is what they do down there
Fortune teller, he knows your name
Fortune teller, he'll tell you your game
Crying the blues, that's what they do down there
Money dripping from a willow tree
He never want me
Lazy bones, I ain't got a dime
Just biding my time

If I find a way to choose
New Orleans, where they're crying the blues

Drinking bourbon from a dixie cup
Hanging out till the sun comes up
Crying the blues is what they do down there
French women, all I need
Up and down old Bourbon Street
Crying the blues is what they do down there

If I find a way to choose
New Orleans, where they're singing the blues


9. TIJUANA

Just below San Diego
Tijuana, land of broken dreams
Senoritas dancing in the moonlight
Flashing Spanish dark eyes to everyone, it seems

They say "Hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border
Just tell them I'm your daughter
Of a local."

Down the backstreets, through the alleys
All the young men stand with pride
They guard the palace to the kingdom
Called Tijuana, their heritage they decide

They say "Hey, gringo
Can you take us across the border
We'll work for just a quarter
On the other side"


10. THAT KING OF THING

It's that kind of thing babe, no alibis
It's that kind of thing babe, shuffle or die
Going through these changes
Like Mr. Right

It's that kind of thing babe, no alibis
It's that kind of thing babe, pay your dues
It's that kind of thing babe, win or lose
Going through these changes
Like Mr. Right

It's that kind of thing babe, no alibis


11. WHO'S TALKING

Who's talking, ain't no friend of mine
Who's talking, stirred it up
Who's talking, who's lying

Hard rumours, hard rumours, pay no mind
When you abuse and you spread your rumours
Somebody's talking, somebody's lying
Find out look who is shouting
When they say you've got to talk
Watch out
Some day you're going to have a trouble

Who's talking, ain't no friend of mine
Who's talking, stirred it up
Who's talking, who's lying


12. CHANGE YOUR MIND

I detect a side-effect of a complicated life
The edge is on, sharp as a knife
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind

Contemplation, meditation, all that jive
Taking out the medicine just before sunrise
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind

I just want to love you and that's a fact
I just want to tell you when we get back

You're just the kind of woman do a man all night
You're just the kind of woman that's a dynamite
Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind


13. HUMDINGER

Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger

She rolls it 'round her tongue like a natural thing
She makes me feel like I'm a natural king
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
She got lips around me, painted red
She close her eyes when she rolls her head

Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger
Humdinger, she loves to lick my finger


14. RIVER BOAT SONG

I hear a whistle, I hear a moan
Must be my baby coming home

She's been down in Tupelo, singing that river boat song
She is a dancer, a river queen
She'll teach them gamblers most anything
She's been down in Tupelo, singing that river boat song

Many nights I spend alone
Many days there ain't nobody home
Many times I wish she was here

Yeah, that river boat whistle blows
I know she's getting near
River captain, bring my baby home
I get so lonesome since she's been gone

She's been down in Tupelo, working the river boat song
