1. AGAIN AND AGAIN

Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio

Then came a man with a rockin'guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock
Time didn't matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll

Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find the rhythm cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again


2. DON'T WASTE MY TIME

You spend my money
You drink my best red wine
You think it's funny
To see me all the time
Sitting with my head hanging down
Treating me just like a clown
You spend my money
But come on honey don't waste my time

When you get older
You'll see what you have done
You hung on my shoulder
And loved me just for fun
But some day when I'm older too
I'm gonna come and make fool out of you
You spend my money
And honey
You sure did waste my time

You spend my money
You drink my best red wine
You think it's funny
To see me all the time
Sitting with my head hanging down
Treating me like a clown
You spend my money
Come on honey don't waste my time


3. BREAK THE RULES

Spent a long, long evening
In a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady
With a long black honky-tonk car
I asked no questions
I got no lies
A one off winner
I didn't want any ties
And I knew it wasn't right
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Took me down on the highway
Doing too many miles an hour
By the way she motored
Thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower
She stopped the motor
By her own front door
I knew she'd done it
So many times before
But I was off of the floor
But, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I woke up next moring
Feeling kind of up and down
'Cos I did not know
If I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face
From the night before
My purse was empty
Lying there on the floor
But like I told you before
That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I spend a low down evening
Sitting high on a honky-tonk stool
And I spent my money
Like a low down honky-tonk fool
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules


4. END OF THE LINE

Call me if you need me, woman
Don't feel you're all alone
You've been away for much too long
It's time that you came home

Out on the town, you've been fooling around
I've been talking to myself
I fantasise about the look in your eyes
It's magic in itself

But my heart's stopped healing
And I can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line

When you say that you want me woman
Is it just a lie?
Saying things that you don't believe
Can only mean goodbye

Dreaming of all the times we had
It seems all over now
Can't you see that I want you back
But I just can't see how

But my heart's stopped healing
And I can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line

But my heart's stopped healing
And I can't help feeling it's the end of the line
Staying away, but don't let them say
That it's the end of the line
Please don't hurt me
Don't desert me, it's the end of the line
Think it over, come on over
It's the end of the line


5. WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSIN'

It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

What you're proposin' the other night
As I was leavin', I looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'

What you're proposin', now get it right
If I'm composin', but then I might
Be runny nosin'
I might be runny runny runny runny nosin'
But you're supposin'

Don't be so sure, and just supposin'
We yell for more, and compromisin'
And compromisin' leads to really really feelin'

And just supposin', don't get me wrong
I'm only dreamin', it can't be long
I must be dreamin'
I must be dreamin', dreamin', only only dreamin'
Am I just supposin'

It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

What you're proposin' the other night
As I was leavin', I looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin'
What you're proposin'
What you're proposin'


6. ROADHOUSE BLUES

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse
We're gonna have a real good time

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
That's sort of people like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, all night long

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse
We're gonna have a real good time

In the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
At the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
That's sort of people like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, all night long

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta ease my soul, all right
You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta jump up and get me baby
I know you want me baby

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta ease my soul, all right
I shoulda made you, I shoulda made you
Give up your vows, give up your vows

Save my city, save my city
Right now, oh baby, baby I woke up this morning,
I got myself a beer
I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain, and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll

All night long


7. DEAR JOHN

Everybody was talking to me
Like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying
It's just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Vanity is hard old lady
You can't read her mind
I'm a fool but I don't fool easy
While you're foolin' around
Anyway I can hold my own tonight
I admit I was wrong and you where right

Dear John Goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Everybody was talking to me
Like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying
It's just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Dear John goodbye she said
Sometimes..


8. SHADY LADY

Run your fingers thru my hair sweet darling
Run your fingers thru my hair
I want you when you never there sweet darling
Need you but I could not care

You got long black hair on your legs
And I like them smooth
You don't show me you care
You won't even move
That's why I call you shady lady

I wish I hadn't turn my head that morning
Wish I hadn't turned my head
Or listened to the things you said that morning
Listened to the things you said

I get away where nobody goes
And she finds me there
She won't leave me alone
She don't even care
That's why I call here shady lady, shady lady

They say, I say
You gotta lay it down the line
So get away-way I say
If you're only playing with my time
I gotta keep you off of my back
Cos you're making me feel so bad
I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now

Run your fingers thru my hair sweet darling
Run your fingers thru my hair
I want you when you never there sweet darling
Need you but I could not care

I get away where nobody goes
And she finds me there
She won't leave me alone
She won't even care
That's why I call her shady lady, shady lady

I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now
I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now
I gotta get along, get along, get along
Without you now


9. LIVING ON AN ISLAND

Easy when you're number one
Everybody say you're having fun
Smiling for the public eye
When your body say you wanna die
Living on an island
Looking at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Hugh he got a real nice place
Cruxie gonna be there soon
And I just want to see his face
I'm getting lonely in my empty room
Living on an island
Working at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Passing time away in blue skies
Thinking of the smile in her eyes
Easy, it's easy

Living on an island
Oh boy, we're having fun
Living on an island
Thinking 'bout the things I've done
Living on an island
Searching for an other line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
I said we're gonna get high
Yeah, we're gonna get high
We're gonna touch the sky
sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...


10. BURNING BRIDGES

Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'til you scratch the writing on the wall

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry

One day someday I may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though I fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry


11. FORTY FIVE HUNDRED TIME (LIVE)

There's nobody on the end of my line
I'm in time but somebody's missing
Maybe I can find a hand for my hand
If I find a well for my wishing
Be my friend, be my friend

It gets lonely on a table for two
Laughing on your own can be no fun
Even people that are talking to you
Remind you that you're really with no-one
Be my friend, be my friend

Take me over like a thing from the past
Lots of people wishing they'd been there
No-one knowing just how long it would last
But I'm sitting still here in my chair
Be my friend, be my friend

Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Problems halved are the problems that we can share
White lies in our eyes, together not really there

Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Though it's taken a long time for you to see
Where we're at is the right place for us to be

I sure want to stay here, it sure feels fine
I feel I could be here a long long time
Now that I've made it, I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you

We came a long way, a slow way too
Up from the down way and back to you
Now that I've made it I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you


12. CAN'T BE DONE

Everywhere I dare to go, the corners that I turn
I'm sure to see a face I know, someone who doesn't earn
That's all I ever get to hear is other people's woe
Let's climb into a rocket and we'll press the one and go
Although they say it can't be done
Don't say to me it can't be done

Looking how we used to be, the way and what we wore
The things we hoped the future held but always wanted more
If God had meant for man to fly he would have given wings
He didn't, so we have to make the best of everything
So let's not say it can't be done
Although they say it can't be done

Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
That there ain't no chance at all
Anybody can be right or wrong
When there ain't no chance at all

Half the world is in a mess, the other half as well
I've got a feelin' strange to me I wish that I could tell
It won't be long before we push the button I am sure
So throw away the key when I am locked behind the door
You're telling me it can't be done
Stop telling me it can't be done

Don't say to me everybody says it can't be done
That there ain't no chance at all
Anybody can be right or wrong
When there ain't no chance at all

Half the world is in a mess, the other half as well
I've got a feelin' strange to me I wish that I could tell
It won't be long before we push the button I am sure
So throw away the key when I am locked behind the door
You're telling me it can't be done
Stop telling me it can't be done
Let's pray and pray it can be done
Just pray and pray it can be done
It can be done
It can be done
It can be done


13. UNSPOKEN WORDS

If I could only share with you
Once more the fruits of yesterday
Could I forget unspoken words?
The change in colours of your way

I can still see you standing there
Clutching my hand and begging not to go
Don't hide the tears, I'm crying too
It doesn't matter too much, no

I'll always be with you by your side
Watching over you, feeling every pain
Hold your head high, think of me there
I'll still be with you once again

I'll always be with you by your side
Watching over you, feeling every pain
Hold your head high, think of me there
I'll still be with you once again


14. LET ME FLY

I've been so lonely
I can't find any way
So long since I lost my way
I've got a feeling
You're gonna run away anyday
Why does it always seem to be me?

So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y away
I wanna climb really high
All the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y
Getting away
So after today
Let me fly, fly, fly away

You say you're all right
You don't care anyway
I'm listening, you're trying to say
You think I'm crazy
You're thinking you got everything right
But you're fooling no-one else but yourself

So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y away
I wanna climb really high
All the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
So let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y
Getting away
So after today
Let me fly, fly, fly away

If you get lonely
You can't get along by yourself
If you're finding
You're needing me
Don't wait forever
For me to come a-following you
I'll wait here, you come back by yourself

And we can fly
We can fly like a bird in the sky
We can fly-y-y away
And we can climb really high
All the time in the sky
Gonna stay up there all day
Oh let me fly
Let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly-y-y, getting away
So after today
Let me fly, fly, fly away


15. AIN'T COMPLAINING

There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down

All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town
So long as you come home to me
I ain't complaining
You fool around, we scream and fight
The way you're treating me, you know it ain't right
But when you're making out with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
and I'll come running to you

All right all right
You're out all night, you sleep all day
When I get home you're going out to play
Oh, woman give me some time and everything's fine
I ain't complaining

You just don't care, we're in a mess
And the company you keep ain't the best
But when you're lying there with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if you don't come home to me
I'll be complaining

All right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
Our situation ain't looking too bright
'cause I have taken all I'm gonna take
Without complaining

It ain't no use playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if I don't come home to you
You'll be complaining

All right all right all right all right
All right all right


16. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I don't care what you say to me
I'm gonna try and kick you outta my door
Ain't no use entertaining me
Or paint your pretty little face for me
You don't like rock, you don't like roll
You don't like rock and roll no more
I've had enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough

I don't care what you say to me
I never get the message through when I call
What you do is a shame to see
Making plans of your own for me
You don't know where, you don't know when
You don't know where, or where or when
Oh I don't care what you say to me
I'm gonna kick you outta my door
Enough is enough, and I have had it
I've had enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough

Oh I don't care what you say to me
You're gonna be back banging round at my door
What you say is all the same to me
Making plans of your own for me
You don't know where, you don't know when
You don't know where, or where or when
I've had enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough, I can't stand no more
Enough is enough, I can't anymore
Enough is enough


17. CAN'T GIVE YOU MORE

Now you know this ain't the kind of life for you
It's not the way you thought that it would be
If I could change my way to you
If I could change, it wouldn't be me
And you see

I know I never tried the things I should have done
Oh and time is always passing by
I want to do the things I never done before
So I do try not to tell a lie
When I'm so low, when I'm so high
Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more

First you said you'd never try to slow me down
That ev'rything would work out really fine
But as those walls closed in on us
your words just fell right out of line
And behind

I know I never tried the things I should have done
And time is always passing by
I want to do the things I never done before
So I do try not to tell a lie
When I'm so low, when I'm so high
yet you cry when I say I can't give you more

Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Can't give any more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Ain't got any more

Did you figure ours would be an easy thing
Like lazy days of lying in the sun
I told you if you wanted me
That ev'ry day just wouldn't be fun
Now it's done

I know I never tried the thing I should have done
And time is always passing by
I want to do the things I never done before
So I do try not to tell a lie
When I'm so low, when I'm so high
Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more

Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
Can't give you more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
I ain't got any more
Oh, oh, oh, I ain't got any more
I ain't got any more
Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more
I ain't got any more


18. RAIN

How can I see what I'm leaving for
How can I give what I gave before
How can you tell me that you want me to stay
How can I stay when I'm trying to say
That I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain

How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain

I can live without the rain
That's falling on my head
Rain that's falling on my head

Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling on my head

I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light
I'm feeling thight tonight and that's alright
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain
