Wotcha want with me boy
You’ve picked on the wrong girl here
I’m not a woman who’s satisfied
With her man in second gear
(You know) I need a lot of fun and excitement
To quench my insatiable thirst
So don’t you ever say that you love me
‘Cos it’ll only go from bad to worse
You’re just Junk Male
With nothing to say
Yeah Junk Male
I’ll throw you away
Junk Male
Turn up every day at my door
What are you hoping for?
Why ya hanging around me
You know you’re only wasting your time
I may be a woman of perogative
But I’m not about to change my mind
I need a lot of special attention
I’m such a hard woman to please
So don’t ever think you can love me
‘Cos you could never meet my needs
Boom chaka chaka ooh ya ya ya
Boom chaka chaka oh
Boom chaka chaka ooh ya ya ya
Boom chaka chaka here we go now
Wotcha looking at me for
You’re so far out of your league
I guess I’m a woman of mystery
And you’re just a boy with intrigue
I need a lot of power and passion
To keep my interest high
So don’t ever hope you can love me
‘Cos you’ll never the chance to try

I know you said that this might happen
I know you warned me from the start
I know you thought he was a bad one
But I just listened to my heart
Now he’s cheated on me
And he spent all my money
And I don’t know what to do
Oh Mama please mama won’t you rescue me
From the low down snake belly blues
I guess I should have been more cautious
I guess I should have taken time
Perhaps I should have seen it coming
I guess it proves that love is blind
So he’s stolen my car
And he’s driven to the country
Along with someone new
Please Mama oh mama won’t you rescue me
From the low down snake belly blues
I must be looking kinda foolish
I must appear to be naive
Though he must have been convincing
Cos what he said I would believe
Well he shattered my dreams
And he’s stolen my soul
Now he’s broken my heart in two
Please Mama oh mama won’t you rescue me
From the low down snake belly blues
He’s so low down and it’s no mistake
He’s closer to the ground than the belly of a snake……..it’s true
He’s ready to pounce like a snake in the grass
A slippery slimy pain in the ass…………it’s true

Let Me Go Easy
04:37
|
|||
|
I heard that you
Were missing me
But after all you said
That can never be true
Though it’s the kind of thing you’d do
To toy with my emotions
As you please
But baby don’t tease
Just let me go easy
I know you laugh at my expense
With all your cruel friends
And hope I fall apart
With my broken heart
You magnify my pain
As you free yourself from blame
I guess that was your aim
From the start
I heard that you
Were going to call by
You wanted just to see if
You’d make me cry tears like a clown
Watch me breaking down
I can’t believe that’s how you’d
Choose to be
When I’m on my knees
Just let me go easy

Juke Box Alley

|
|||
|
There’s a place we all meet
The music’s loud and there’s dancing in the street
And always shall be
It’s known to everyone as Juke Box Alley
Catch the bus,
Hitch a ride
Make your way and you can step inside the party
All are welcome down at Juke Box Alley
Sing your heart out don’t be shy
Smile at all the passers by
Dance until you’re fit to drop
Never sit down ‘til the music stops
You can always feel the adrenaline flow
Every single time you let yourself go
In Juke Box Alley
Coin in the slot, pick a song
Park your car with the headlights shining on
And dance with me
‘Cos you’re in the swing when you’re down in Juke Box Alley
Born to dance, built to jive
Music plays, watch me come alive
So happy
That’s why you’ll find me down at Juke Box Alley
Life is sweet, life feels good
Life is all that I could ever hope that
It can be
So come and join us down at Juke Box Alley
We’ve got…Jazz, Blues, Soul - More than a hint of Rock n roll

Five Past Ten
03:07
|
|||
|
You said that you would meet me
At five past ten
I waited ‘round
You never came
Now you say that you could love me
But you don’t know when
You’re just messing
With my head again
The only reason
I’m still standing here
Is to make it
Absolutely clear
I’ll be sending
No more tears your way
I’m so tired of playing in your game
It’s no fun here any more
The hands turn ‘round and ‘round
But you’re nowhere to be found
And loving you is really such a bore
I’m so tired of playing catch up
Searching for the hours we have lost
Before we even know
The seasons come and go
And we spend our days counting up the cost
I’m so tired of playing to your time
With your distorted point of view
You said we’d meet at five past ten
Then I don’t see you again
I won’t waste a minute more on you

When I See Red
04:46
|
|||
|
You drive to distraction
With all the things you do
When I see red
You know I feel so blue
I’m green with envy
Black is my mood
You colour my world
With shades of solitude
Can’t hold my temper
Can’t keep my cool
When paraded
As a faded (jaded) fool
You spark a reaction
By being untrue
When I see red
You know I feel so blue
I’m pale with worry
White as a ghost
You drained my colour
When I needed it the most
The main attraction
Just has to be you
When I see red
You know I feel so blue
I’m seeing red but feeling oh so blue
It’s all in my head and I don’t know what to do

No For An Answer
03:11
|
|||
|
Telephone is ringing
I say Hi who’s there
No I can’t come out with you
Cos I’m washing my hair
Don’t you know this can’t go on
Don’t you know it’s dead and gone
You gotta take no for an answer
Even though you’re tryin’ to be a romancer
You gotta take no for an answer
You gotta take no when I tell you so
Telephone is ringing again
I say Hi it’s me
No I can’t come out with you
Cos I’m watching TV
You gotta take no for an answer
I know you’re really only a chancer
You gotta take no for an answer
You gotta take no when I tell you so
Telephone goes ring ring ring
I say who’s on the line
No I won’t go dancing with you
Cos I just don’t have the time
You gotta take no for an answer
Baby you know that I’m no dancer
You gotta take no for an answer
You gotta take no when I tell you so

Same Coin
05:08
|
|||
|
One bad word and I’m outta here
I don’t care how much it hurts you no no
I’ve come to the end of the line
And I won’t go any further baby
Though I don’t really
Want to hurt you no no
But there’s a limit
To the pain we can take
There’s a moment
When we stop for the sake
Of our future
And the chances to come
So maybe it’s time
To cut and run
Love and hate often integrate
Fuse together with no join
Love and hate can reach the state
Where they’re both sides
Of the same coin
One mean look and I’m on my way
Though I know it’s gonna hurt you
I’ve hit the bottom
And I won’t fall any further baby
But I really Don’t want to hurt you no no

In This Crowd
03:50

|
No… There’s no crying allowed
Not in this crowd
No… Only laughing out loud
Baby in this crowd
We ride with the spirits, we run with the stars
We fly twice as fast as a rocket ship to Mars
We shoot for the moon and we aim for the sun
Come join us if you’re happy
‘Cos the codeword is fun
No…No reason for doubt
Not in this crowd
No… we know what we’re about
Baby in this crowd
In this crowd we walk along the tightrope
In this crowd we take it to the edge
In this crowd we push it to the limit
In this crowd excitement is our friend
Yes in this crowd
We climb the highest mountain, we sail the deepest sea
We shake off all the shackles with intention to be free
We defeat the hardest challenge before it has begun
Come join us if you’re happy
‘Cos the codeword is fun
No…No hanging around
Not in this crowd
No… Your feet won’t touch the ground
No not in this crowd
No…No room to be proud
Not in this crowd
No… No head in the clouds
No not in this crowd

Whenever You Fall
03:24
|
|||
|
If all the time that existed was mine
I’d surely need another day
To tell you about the way I feel
And all the love that could be coming your way
I have been told that it’s good to have gold
And diamonds that sparkle and shine
No matter how rare, they’d never compare
To knowing you’ll forever be mine
Though my friends may contend it’s pretend
And I ought to stop dreaming
They don’t understand why I choose
To ignore their advice
So I tell the world that I’m only a girl
Who’s believing
When we’ve one chance of love we must never ever think twice
If I had the light of the stars in the night
Or the warmth of the sun in the sky
I’d save you from the darkest cold
And protect you ‘til the day I die
Always believe in love
Whenever you fall

The Trouble With Trouble
05:13
|
|||
|
I aim to be good
Like I know I should be
I want to be caring
To those who surround me
I look to stay
On the right side of the law
But sometimes I ask myself
What am I doing this for?
Trouble is always ‘round the corner
Trouble is clearly plain to see
Trouble is forever in the shadows
The trouble with trouble
It’s troubling me
I keep away from danger
Wanna come to no harm
I avoid what is stressful
As I try to stay calm
I stand in the line
And play to the rules
But sometimes I ask myself
If the game is only for fools

Riding On The Backbeat
04:16
|
|||
|
It’s hot in here
Can you feel the heat
The boys are restless
Soon be fighting in the street
The temperature’s high
And rising fast
It’s hard to know
How long the peace will last
So when the mood is anxious
And emotions cloud the mind
It’s then we must be ready for the sign
You know that when the groove is heavy
And the melody is strong
We’ve been riding on backbeat all along
Riding on the backbeat
Driving through the offbeat
Gliding past the downbeat
Always on the upbeat
Making the most of life
By riding on the backbeat
It’s cold in here
So cool it bites
What can I do
To melt your heart of ice
Frosty silence
Of chilling hate
In this frozen ocean
On which we skate
Riding on the backbeat
Yeah riding on the backbeat

Since I Met You Baby
04:59
|
|||
|
I found me no reason
To try and save my soul
I did a deal with the devil
In exchange for rock n roll
There’s no turning back
That’s what the contract said
Enjoy your life
‘Cos you’re a long time dead
Since I met you baby
I wanna live forever instead
I’d been running on empty
With nothing left in the tank
I once had plenty
Now there’s no money in the bank
I used to buy my friends
A drink on a Saturday night
Now the cash has gone
There ain’t a friend in sight
But since I met you baby
I know everything’s gonna be alright
All the days of pointlessness
And all the nights of restlessness
Are gone, It’s time to move on
All bad thoughts that I possessed
And all the acts of recklessness
Were wrong, I’m moving on
Since I met you baby
I went back to see the devil
He said I’ll give you one more chance
I’ll let you take your life back
The choice is in your hands
‘Cos since you met your baby
All you gotta do is dance
Life is sweet and life feels good
Life is all that I could ever hope for lately
That’s the way
Since I met you baby

One Leap Out Of Nowhere
04:28
|
|||
|
Once I had the world at my feet
Always had a girl on my arm
Used to think life was so complete
I was Mr Sophisticated Charm
But then my friends all disappeared
It seems they were no friends of mine
No one listened to my music
Nobody gave me any time
........but then
One leap out of nowhere
Has put me in the spotlight honey
One leap out of nowhere
Got the focus on me
One leap out of nowhere
Now I'm on the front foot baby
One leap out of nowhere
And I'm back where I should be
Used to have a mansion and a maid
Always had a chauffeur driven car
Took a liking to the lifestyle
And the trappings of a star
But then I faded from the scene
No one even knew my name
Soon I lost all of my money
To the fickleness of fame
........but then
I'm back in the game
Like nothing has changed
I've taken my chance
It's all in my hands

Angel On My Shoulder
04:00
|
|||
|
When evening comes
And darkness pales the sky
And night time winds it’s weary way
The sun retires, fading out it’s light
Closing just another day
It’s then I need
A friend to help me on my way
Start a brand new day
And when this cold old day
Disappears for ever more
And tomorrow seems a lifetime
It’s then I’m sure that you’re the angel on my shoulder
My strength, my rock
My midnight sunshine
It’s so good to know
I’ve got a friend for all time
A friend to be mine
And so the time has come
To ease my aching head
The time is when I need a friend
It’s good to know
I’ve got a friend so true
A friend in you
Yes it’s good to know
I’ve got a friend in you
