1. RED SQUARE DANCE
(Instrumental)
2. FINEST HOUR
Girl, can you recall all the well
Can you put your hand in mine hand ?
Make a blessing in disguise ?
Girl, how can you carry on ?
When the king has lost his crown and
The fool is gettin' wise ?
Girl, can you recall the time ?
When we practise what we say ?
Even though it wasn't real ?
I still remember times that we had
And I'm sad becauce I'm sad
It's just the way I feel.
You could be my finest hour
My crown and glory, my reason to be
You could be my reservator
My never forgetter, it's easy, so easy to see.
This world is going up, down and 'round
It can't be saved or found, because
What is now is once what was.
But you, you know the reason why
I'm always sad, but never cry
It can't be found unless you're lost.
You could be my finest hour
My crown and glory, my reason to be
You could be my reservator
My never forgetter, it's easy.
You could be my finest hour
My crown and glory, my reason to be
You could be my reservator
My never forgetter, it's easy, so easy to see.
3. TOGETHER FOREVER
You and me sitting on a bench
Watching the day go by
No one paying us any attention
Not even to ask us why
Sunshine in our eyes
We're watching it set as we watched it rise
You and me sitting on a bench
Watching the day go by
You and me sitting on a bus
On the front seat at the top
Watching the people who don't look like us
And going way past our stop
Travelling everywhere
We got no money but what do we care?
You and me sitting on a bus
On the front seat at the top
Ah, looks like we're sticking together
Ah, looks like lasting forever
You and me by the side of the road
In the morning feeling bright
Watching cars coming and watching them go
Still thinking we'll be home tonight
As the day goes on and the lifts are few
We think it might take us a day or two
You and me by the side of the road
In the morning feeling bright
Oh, looks like we're sticking together
Ah, looks like lasting forever

5. HAPPY OR SAD
You always cry, happy or sad
Happy or sad, you always cry
You always cry, happy or sad
Happy or sad, you always cry.
I remember yesterday
When your friends from the south they runaway
You shut the door after you waved goodbye
And you talk me girl as you started to cry
The ... to be soft as heart
And you can't control when the tears start
You feel a fool when the teardrops fall
You were happy and another picture of you.
You always cry, happy or sad
Happy or sad, you always cry
You always cry, happy or sad
Happy or sad, you always cry.
Your sad emotions with happy notions
They have made you what you are
You tried to be hard, but I've seen your cry
You made your love for me.
Some people learn to living high
They won't let go what they're feel inside
They sit at home and they wonder why
How happy sometimes people can be if they cry.
You always cry, happy or sad
Happy or sad, you always cry
You always cry, happy or sad
Happy or sad, you always cry.
You always cry, oh you always cry
Baby, baby, baby.
6. WAY BEHIND YOU
I'm lying way behind you
Someone just screaming for nothing
Trying so hard to find you
Needing to give you something.
I'm lying way behind you
Don't take the time to listen
If you could see I blind you
Baby you don't know what you're missing.
I'm lying way behind you
You can't see me for looking
The ways of your mother bind you
The lives of your father's choosing.
I'm not ashamed to say i've changed
I could know what you wanna me to do
So I hide behind my face
I think i'll linger there and forget about, you.

8. OLD PECULIAR FEELING
I got the strangest feeling just the other day,
I saw you passing and I couldn't look away,
Though we're no strangers, still it happens now and then.
[Chorus]
I get that feeling, that same old feeling
That old peculiar feeling again.
We go out dancing when it comes to Friday night,
With you beside me I know everything is right
And when they play that certain song from way back when.
[Chorus](x2)
Here it comes again, here it comes again,
Here it comes again, here it comes again.
Whenever I pick up my favourite old guitar,
We meet our friends in some old crazy downtown bar,
And as we start to play I see you smile and then.
[Chorus](x2)
Here it comes again, here it comes again,
Here it comes again, here it comes again.
Here it comes again, here it comes again,
Here it comes again, here it comes again.
9. TRUE LOVE
You look at the sea, it seems so vast
And it's looking back to you
You're thinking of me and the past
But you don't know if it's true.
I know how you feel, I feel the same
And I carry old doubt in my mind
But who knows what's for real and who's to blame
We're both one of a kind.
The sun shines on you, love
It shines all on true love
True love forever.
You look at the sky and the stars
And I looking back at you
You're wondering why, there's so far
And incredibly good.
The sun shines on you, love
It shines all on true love
True love's forever.
You look at yourself, you look at me
It seems the same from below and above
When somebody else, you and me
We're forever true love.
Forever true love, true love, true love
Forever true love, true love, true love
Forever true love, true love, true love
Forever true love, true love, true love.

11. CITY SONG
City streets I see your lies
I will not play your game
No longer will you talk to me
You think I'm going insane
But I forgot my number
Now I'm remembering my name
I've been too long travelling on your train
You tried your best to strangle me
But I could take the pain
You tried to hypnotize me
But I seed right through your game
And now your tatty tricks to me
Are really rather tame
I've been too long travelling on your train
City lights don't shine
They glare
And your music doesn't speak
It swears
And in your streets
The girls have forgotten why they're there
Some day soon I know I'm going
Miles and miles away
Back to the garden where the magic children play
And to the country lady
Who knows more than I can say
Whose nights shine brighter than your day
And your city lights don't shine
They glare
And your music doesn't speak
It swears
And in your streets
The girls have forgotten why they're there
12. ROCK'N'ROLL TOWN
I was born to the sound of the shipyard poundin' and a lonesome foghorn blowin'
Where the noise and the dirt and the steelworks filled the sky.
I was raised in the days when the old time ways looked set to keep on goin'
And you kept your place and never questioned why.
And it was all in black and white, but 'til it came one Saturday night
There was a church hall function and people come from miles around
There was a band that played guitars, and the us they looked like stars
They got the old folks running up and tellin' them to turn it down
But we said yeah, yeah, we're living in a Rock 'n' Roll town.
We were just that age, when the world's a stage so we took off all the chances
There was a second hand store where we laid our money down
Steppin' out live at a downbeat dive, where the kids knew all the dances
Comin' on strong like a meanest thing around.
But one dark and rainy night, when the boys began to fight
I took a midnight-flyer and I knew where I was bound
I got in with a big time band and the singer took me by the hand
And she said boy you can really lay that rhythmn down
And I said yeah, yeah, I come from a Rock 'n' Roll town.
Around the world in a crazy dream with my guitar slung on my shoulder
And a car to meet me everywhere I go
I'm doing fine with this life of mine, but before I get much older
I'm going back to the only place I know.
But the times keep moving on and those downbeat times all gone
And the kids are dancing to the rhythmn of a different sound
And it's the same old dance I know and they do it everywhere I go
And I'm tellin' you boy, you can never keep a good thing down
They're singin' yeah, yeah, we're livin' in Rock 'n' Roll town
They're singin' yeah, yeah, we're livin' in Rock 'n' Roll town
They're singin' yeah, yeah - they're singin' yeah, yeah (x8)

14. SPORTING LIFE BLUES (DEMO)
I got a letter from my home
Saying most of my good friends, they're dead and gone
That old night life, that mean old sporting life
You know it's killing me.
And my mother, she used to say to me
You're so young and foolish, that I can see
Ain't got no mother, my sister and brother
They won't talk to me.
I'm getting tired of running around
I think I'll get married and I'll settle down
Because that old night life, that mean old sporting life
You know it's killing me.
My mother, she used to say to me
So young and foolish, that I can see
Hey sonny, mm my lovin' sonny
Why don't you change your ways ?
I've been a gambler and a cheated too
But now my time, my time is due
'Cause that old night life, that mean old sporting life
You know it's killing me
Oh it's a bad life, that mean old sporting life
And it's killing me.
15. KAREN MARIE
Karen Marie, Karen Marie
Fighting like a pole-cat to keep her family
She cries in the night, daddy's got a gun
Take your little girl and run, run, run.
Well Karen Marie she said : 'Pray for me'
'I'm living my life on a stormy sea'
'I got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide'
'He's under my skin and I'm terrified'.
'Baby's going five, she's a beautiful child'
'But her daddy's so mean, it's driving me wild'
'No judge and jury's going to sentence me'
'Gonna fight like a pole-cat to keep my family'.

She cries in the night, daddy's got a gun
Take your little girl and run, run, run.
Oh, take your little girl and run, run, run.
'Well I been to see a man about my case'
'Five Hundred dollars just to look in his face'
'And I'm telling you boys as we ride this train'
'Five Hundred dollars didn't ease the pain'.
'Cause he said to me I might loose this case'
'I mean, how could he say that with a smile on his face ?'
'Ain't he got children, can't he see ?'
'You got to fight like a pole-cat to keep your family'.
Karen Marie, Karen Marie
Fighting like a pole-cat to keep her family
She cries in the night, daddy's got a gun

Oh, take your little girl and run, run, run.
'Well I come from New York, we say : 'Yo! Shine on'
'A hundred years of living and I'm going to hold on'
'Got a good man now and he's right here by my side'
'Gonna push this case, gonna turn the tide'.
'The train pulled in, it was late at night
'Two close-knit figures in the station light'
'One was a little baby, one was a man'
'She turned to me and said : 'Yo! Shine on'
'I turned by the hell shit, baby we will'
'One of these days your gonna be free'.

Fighting like a pole-cat to keep her family
She cries in the night, daddy's got a gun
Take your little girl and run, run, run.

16. FROM MY WINDOW
I have waited in my room, in the silence of a tune
And arranged it as it was the day she came.
Lit the candle, made a bed, ....... the pillow for a head
And imagined every thing was just the same.
But looking out from my window at the rain
I can see that she won't come back again
So I will wait 'til I know what to do
And I will go out and find someone new.
I have waited all night long, I have played her favourite songs
I have listen for her footsteps, just the same
And I knew that I was blind, for in the darkness of my mind
It was no surprise to ... she never came.
Now she's left me on my own, I must learn to live alone
And pull together what she's left me of my pride.
I can see this is the end, it's no good to pretend
I must go for someone else to take my side.
But looking out from my window at the rain
I can see that she won't come back again
So I will wait 'til I know what to do
And I will go out and find someone new.

18. RUN JIMMY RUN
You run around with the usual crew
Nowhere to go and nothing to do
Stick a pen in the ............ of the town
But you know it's guaranteed to bring you down.
If you think you're a special case
There's more time to lose, when you're lost in space.
You're in a rocket ship, that's going no place
Not a step on the gas, if you wanna be in the race
If you wanna wait, you got to keep up the face
You get no price for second place.
If you think you're a special case
There's more time to lose, when you're lost in space.
Look out boy.
Run Jimmy, before it's too late
If run out of time, the ...
Run Jimmy, I know it's too bad
The chip on your shoulder it's driving you mad.
Run Jimmy, the two in you win
No time to lose, nothing to win
Found out what it's all about
Run Jimmy run, it's the only way out.
You never done nothing that you thought was bad
You tried to get silly but you ain't upset
You never wanted nothing that you never had
But it's gone out of town, that is driving you mad.
If you think you're a special case
There's more time to lose, when you're lost in space.
Look out boy.
Run Jimmy, before it's too late
If run out of time, the ....
Run Jimmy, I know it's too bad
The chip on your shoulder it's driving you mad.
Run Jimmy, the two in you win
No time to lose, nothing to win
Found out what it's all about
Run Jimmy run, it's the only way out.
Run Jimmy, run Jimmy run
Run Jimmy, run Jimmy run
Run Jimmy, run Jimmy run
19. MALVINAS MELODY
We're all so glad that you come down here
We're sick and tired of living all these years in fear
The Argentine is fine but it's not England, you know
We got six million sheeps, some penguins and a whole lot of snow
And it's cold, so cold, yes it's cold.
You should have seen this
Just the hills and the guns between us
Eighty miles to Port Stanley
There be a head of a party to meet us
And now is the time to cry for Malvinas.
We're all so proud that you can find the time to ride around
The tattered old flag it lies beaten at bottom of the sound
Give our regards to the widows and the mamas and the papas and the crown
When we sing this song of victory, tell them to sing it, we allow
'Cause it's cold, it's so cold, yes it's cold.
You should have seen this
Just the hills and the guns between us
Eighty miles to Port Stanley
There be a head of a party to meet us
And now is the time to cry for Malvinas.
I joined the army, someone said it was a great way to see the world
So I left my town, my mama, papa and my favourite girl
Put on my uniform too to attention, join the crew
Now I'm dead and I'm passing this message on to you
It's cold, cold, yes it's cold.
You should have seen this
Just the ships and the sea between us
Fighting for your freedom
You got death cold hand to free us
And now, yes now is the time to cry for Malvinas.
And it's cold, it's cold
Yes it's cold down here, it's cold
It's cold, cold, cold.
