FACELESS DAYS
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Where have you been
Where have you been so long
Where have you been
I've been waiting so long

If I would hold you now
Take you in my arms
Would you say "I've been missing you"

Faceless days lost in a maze with no door
I don't know if you know
But the doubt is on your face
Faceless days, can't find no place anymore
For you and me, my babe
We are drowning with the faceless days

Where have I been
Where have I been so long
Where have I been
All the time I should be loving you

If you would hold me now
Take me in your arms
Would I say "baby I've been missing you"

Faceless days lost in a maze with no door
I don't know if you know
But the doubt is on your face
Faceless days, can't find no place anymore
For you and me, my babe
We are drowning with the faceless days

We are drowning with the faceless days
We are crying with the faceless days
We are lying with the faceless days
We are dying with the faceless days

TRASHTOWN
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

The fortunate ones drive their motorcars
Take pretty girls to posh downtown bars
And I'm down
Down and out in trashtown
I'm feeling loose but I don't feel free
Just cockroaches keeping me company

You doubledealing dirty devil's daughter
Go find yourself some running water
My well's run dry
I'm down and out in trashtown
The nights in the gutter feel like centuries
Just a photograph and secondhand memories

In a greasy bar I watch the TV news
We're going down plain third rail blues
It's all the same
I'm down and out in trashtown
I'm killing time tryin' to burn a beer
And time is money way down here

I'm down and out
I'm down and out
Down down down down down down and out
Down down down down down and out

I'm down and out
I'm down and out
I'm down and out
In trashtown




AIN'T NO LOVE
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)

I'm a red Corvette on a saturday night
A lightning bolt out a clear blue sky
All revved up at the traffic lights
Ready for love and never say die

Once I had me the sweetest woman
She kicked me out without no keys
Bartender said "man you had it comin'"
Cryin' into my beer, oh man not me

I play my song for the midnight ladies
On my silver slide trombone
I'm sure Bobby "Blue" he won't mind
No one here likes to be alone

I tell you man. one card is missin'
Five to one it's the queen of hearts
I sure could use me a whole lotta kissin'
I've done my time, just need a new start

I'm a blue eyed boy very far from home
Knowing I can't take much more
Like a dinosaur thru this town I roam
Crashing on the bar room floor

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more
CAFE INTERPOL
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)

I stand on trial
East of the Nile
South of nowhere

I feel so cold, lost my soul, somewhere in cafe interpol
I must be dead I miss my bed back home
I feel so cold, lost my soul, somewhere in cafe interpol
I feel so old, bought n' sold

You are not to blame
Me, mine is the shame
Used memories
Kiss
Them
Goodbye




MAKE MY DAY
(Lyrics: H.Leiden/T.Roudi)

You strike like lightning
Straight into my mind
Your love is like an old wine
It poisons me blind

Make my day, make my day and shake my night
Make my day, make my day and make things right
Would you keep my worried heart from falling apart
'Cos your love will make my day

Like an eagle's feathers
Lying on the ground
I need every little good sign
Oh lord, I need to see you, yes I do

Make my day, make my day and shake my night
Make my day, make my day and make things right
Would you keep my worried heart from falling apart
And your love will make my day

Baby, shake my nights, shake my nights and roll my world
Turn the tide, that's all I want from you girl
Come on, baby come on 'cos I'm here for you
To hand you the stars and the ocean blue

Ooh, if you make my day
Ooh, if you make my day

KILL CITY BLUES
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)

Take a good look around, see those eyes?
Can you hear them howling on a winter's night
A pack of wolves behind our backs
I think I know by now how it must feel
Caught in a spider's web it's a lousy deal
Tracked down where ever you go
Tracked down where ever you may go
There isn't much to choose

So many stories, fairytales that have been told
Made me cross the ocean for my share of the gold
Yeah, yeah like in the days of olde

Been trying very hard to ape the local style
You can do what you want, but don't forget to smile
You smile, don't wanna feel like an exile

Stand in line, don't go breaking rules
Stand in line, an offer you can't refuse
You ain't got much to choose...
It's the kill city blues

No matter how you feel, better learn one thing and fast
There ain't no use to cry, I found it out at last
You see, down here we need no past

Stand in line, don't go breaking rules
Stand in line, an offer you can't refuse
You ain't got much to choose...
It's the kill city blues

Kill City Blues, Yeah

Stand in line, don't go breaking rules
Stand in line, an offer you can't refuse
You ain't got much to choose...
It's the kill city blues




LOVE IS A LIE
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I felt so bad every time we met
Couldn't help the feeling I was using you
I felt so sad to see your eyes get wet
But believe me baby, I didn't know what to do

Baby, babe you should have known better
Baby, babe, yes, you should have known better
I know I should have told you
I know I should have told you
That love is a lie

When I was a young boy my mama said to me
If you treat women good they'll give their love to you
Well I've been a good boy remembering what she said
But I didn't know when love gets old
It makes yor heart so cold

Baby, babe I should have known better
Baby, babe, yes, I should have known better
I know you should have told me, ma
I know you should have told me
That love is a lie

I saw you today, you were smiling again
Your eyes were shining with new relief
Now that you've found it, baby keep that beat
The past is behind, it doesn't have to repeat

Baby, babe you should have known better
I said baby babe, you should have known better
I know I should have told you
Someone should have told you
It's a lie

Baby babe you should know why, baby baby, I call it a lie
Think a little while
Think a little while
Think a little while
Think a little while
It's a lie
Love is a lie

LOVE, UNDERSTANDING & A HELPING HAND
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Love and understanding and a helping hand

You don't have to speak Latin or Chinese
Or come to my door crawling on your knees
No, you don't have to know how to sing
To make my heart go ring-a-ding-a-ling

I gotta capture the emotion
I have the passion and devotion

All I need is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand
All I want is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand

You don't need a wig to be a pretty sight
Or pump'em up with silicone to make things right
No, it doesn't help if you live in the hills
'Cos I've never been a sucker for any cheap thrills

I gotta capture the emotion
I have the passion and devotion

All I need is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand
All I want is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand

I gotta capture the emotion
I have the passion and devotion

Love - love, understanding and a helping hand
Love - love, understanding and a helping hand
Love - love, understanding and a helping hand
Love - love, understanding and a helping hand




LOWDOWN MAN
(Lyrics: H.Leiden/T.Roudi/A.Niven/E.Kramer)

Oh darling when I saw you tonight
You were the only huge mama in sight, said yep
I wanted to taste your sweet honey
All it takes is just a little bit of money, alright, your place, not mine

A man's go to do, got to do what he must
I didn't have the money but I surely had the lust
Oh well, you can't please them all god damn
I know what I am

A lowdown man, that's what I am
Just a lowdown man

A dude came in he had a gun
I jumped through the window and started to run
I'm wanted in love, wanted in hate
Wanted in all them 58 states, I said huh, ain't that great

A man's go to do, got to do what he must
I may have been broke but I've never been bust
Oh well, you can't please them all god damn
You know what I am

A lowdown man, that's what I am
Just a lowdown man

Just a lowdown man
Lowdown man
Lowdown man

OH WELL, A YOUNG MAN
(Lyrics: (P.Green), (M.Allison))

Oh well, a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said, a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days

But you know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people they stepped back
When a young man walked by

But you know, nowadays it's the old man
Who's got all the money

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't help about the shape I'm in

You better save some Jack
'Cause the young man's back!




FREEDOM CHILD
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

She's not the kind of an angel baby
That you've always been waiting to find
She's too much of a rebel maybe
But she'll always be a good friend of mine

Freedom child
Stay wild
Freedom child
Keep your pride
Freedom child, freedom child
Stay wild

There are times when she has her low days
And her heart is feeling black and blue
That's the time she takes to the highway
And never once cries over you

Freedom child
Stay wild
Freedom child
Keep your pride
Freedom child, freedom child
Stay wild

Freedom child
Stay wild
Freedom child
Keep your pride
Freedom child, freedom child
Stay wild
