No Love In Town
01:01
|

|
She kisses her boyfriend
She wears a frown
She takes for granted there's no love in town
She waits on tables
She laughs and she smiles
She seems to wonder if there's no love in town
No love in town...

An Angel Cry
02:13
|
|||
|
You got me singing 5'2" eyes of blue
Now you got me singing the blues
I was so sad when I realized
I made an angel cry
Now everybody got their own life
And even so do I
And nobody got the right to
Make an angel cry
I never meant to put you down
You know how I like to joke around
Maybe I joke around a little too much
but i didn't meant to touch you in a bad way
You know that I would rather die
Than make an angel cry
Angel cry
Angel cry
Angel cry
Angel cry

Everybody's got their own life
Everybody's got their own hair to comb
Have respect
Have respect
Everybody has to live
Everybody has to die
Have respect
Have respect
Everybody has to laugh
Everybody has to cry

Dream
01:06
|
|||
|
I had a dream that I died
And I was a ghost
And I appeared to Randy Yost
And I said "Hello, Randy"
But he didn't see me
And I appeared to David Thornberry
And I said "What's going on? Where's Rusty? Can't you hear me?"
But he didn't notice
And Ron Harris
Was at his house
Staring at a sports magazine
I didn't say anything because I knew I couldn't be seen
Wherever music is
Or people are
Festivals or carnivals, rummage sales
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be
I had a dream and I died
I was a ghost

I Know What I Want
02:11
|
|||
|
Love, I know what I want
And I know what it should be
Know what it could be, yeah
Now, down and out
Like a flower that's wilted
A tower to be rebuilded
Sad, sad and alone
Like a pebble in the desert
Buried in the ground
Love, sweet and fun
This I feel would
Someday be mine
Love, soft and real
Something I can feel
Something that is kind

Merry-Go-Round
01:59
|

|
Round round, time goes
Round round, time goes
Round round, dig the sound
I know, I know
Round and round, I know
Round and round, it's a merry-go-round
I know how much you love me
I know how much you love me
Life turns, on on
Morning, and dawn
I know, it's a merry-go-round
I am, glad to
Be here, with you
I am, it's a merry-go-round
I know how much you love me
I know how much you love me

A Little Bit Of Soap
02:27
|
|||
|
A little bit of soap
Will wash away your lipstick
On my face
But a little bit of soap
Will never
Never erase
The pain in my heart
And my eyes
As I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears
A little bit of soap
Will wash away your powder
From my chin
But a little bit of soap
Will never
Never begin
To take away the hurt
That I feel
As I go through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears
Have you heard
When love begins to die
It leaves someone to cry?
Night and day
Like a bird
You left the warmest nest
And just like all the rest
You flew away
A little bit of soap
Will take away your perfume
Eventually
A little bit of soap
Will never
Wash away the memories
Of your name
In the night
That I'll call through the lonely years
A little bit of soap
Will never wash away my tears

Loneliness
01:43
|
|||
|
I told you all about
And who can forget?
I told you all about
But you ain't heard it yet
So here's a song about loneliness
Loneliness
I don't want you to sympathize
I only want you to realize
So here's a song about loneliness
Loneliness
You can act as if you really know
You can talk and talk and hear your own echo
But don't forget it's just loneliness
Lo—

Good Morning You

Good Morning You
You've got the world, what's in your way
Good Morning You
Had to stop to think of something to say
You sat in the chair and your were there
You looked at the wall and started to stare
Good Morning You
What do you plan to do?
Good Morning You
Though you can hardly move
You sat in a chair and you were scared
There's so much you could do if you dared
Good Morning You
You've got the world, what's in your way?

Go
04:23

|
So you think you've found the one
And she knows just how you feel
And you say that she's for real and she's fun
Well, that's all well and good
That's just the way it should be
To understand and be understood is to be free
So I think that you should go
Go on ahead
Take her in your arms and be wed
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Life's a bowl of cherries
You can have as many as you can carry
And someone once said that life was like a cow
But I don't know how that applies
But anyhow here we are all on this planet
Taking everything for granted
But I think you've caught on to something
Don't let go
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Go go go go go you restless soul
You're going to find it
Oh, yes you will, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it
Oh, yes you did, you found it

Just Like A Widow
01:47
|

|
He's got tracks down his face
Where his tears drop
He's got a stain on his shirt
Where his heart bleeds
Just like he's a widow
His poor heart has died
His mind is like Jell-O
In the ghetto of love
It'll work out
Everything does
But if it don't work out
It's only because
Just like he's a widow
His poor heart has died
His mind is like Jell-O
In the ghetto of love

Heartbreak Hotel
02:18
|

Since my baby left me
I've found a new place to dwell
It's right on down Lonely Street
Called Heartbreak Hotel
I get so lonely
I get so lonely
I get so lonely
I could die
I get this tingling feeling
From my head down to my toes
I don't know exactly what it is
Like my blood don't get around too well
I get so lonely
I get so lonely
I get so lonely
I could die
It's an efficiency apartment
For broken hearts sincere
Got a broken mirror to stare into
And a bucket to drip tears
I get so lonely
I get so lonely
I get so lonely
I could die

You Killed My Baby
01:52
|

|
They wanted to stamp out his dreams, like he was on fire
They thought they were doing him a favor
You knew what you did, as you shaped your faith
And you were busy, you had to go some place
Was it just something you felt you had to do?
You killed my baby
And I loved you, not because we were related
Or that I was obligated, or because I had to
So tell me why did you, why did you
Kill my baby
And when they asked you what was the matter
You said nothing was the matter and it didn't matter
I guess it didn’t matter much to you
You killed my baby
Were you just jeal- were you just jealous?
What was the deal, was it to sell it?
Too unreal, can you imagine just how I feel?
You killed my baby
And I got a new baby, happy & new
And he's mad at you, and bitter too
And if you don't think that’s fair, then make your own movie
You killed my baby

Writer, you are a writer
But you better write quick 'cause your paper's on fire
Writer, you are a writer
But you better write quick 'cause your pencil's on fire
Writer, you are a writer
But you better write quick 'cause your paper's on fire
Writer, you are a writer
But you better write quick
