1.MR SHOES

A man could die of thirst
First to the bar and the last to get served
Landlord laughs
You can't get the staff these days

Guess who should walk through the door
Dressed to the nines
And looking nine more
Shows his face
Everyone in the place gets a wave

Hello M-m-m-Mr. Shoes
We love to look at you
Mr. Shoes
Solarium tan you could say he's a man
Mr. Shoes
We love to look at you
Mr. Shoes
A flick of the wrist
And a Listermint kiss
A boy could get sick of this
Sand in your face and the taste on your lips
And how come your suit looks much better
On you than me

It's so hard when you're 21
Life's too short when your nails are too long
And man I could use some of your
"Koo-Ka-Choo"
Mr. Shoes


2.HEADS ARE ROLLING

Down on the pampas they've got trouble on the campus
Where the students are revolting and the businessmen are Mean
They've got plans for the Presidente - who needs El Presedente?
He don't help nobody...

Out on the islands, all that sunshine and violence
They say close down the casinos, and open up the bank
They've got plans for the government, who needs a government?
They don't help nobody...

Roll - heads are rolling, all around the world
Roll - heads are rolling, somebody pointing a finger at you

In the deserts and the jungles, there's an old familiar Rumble
It's the natives getting restless, the guerrillas turning Mean
They're headed for the White House, they're ready for a Wipe-out
This crowd is looking ugly...

Got trouble on the hippie trail, an army's getting greedy
Everybody's getting nervous, can you tell me what it Means?
They've got plans for Afghanistan, they've got their eyes On Pakistan
Don't it make you feel uneasy?


3.NEED A LITTLE LOVING

I got excited
So I decided
I couldn't hide it
Oooh I guess it's time to confess
That you still light me up
Like a cigarette

I had to see you
I have to tell you
That if you wanted
Oooh to take a chance
And you'd see
That your saving a man from insanity

Do you need a little loving
Do you
Need a little loving
Tell me that you
Need a little loving

I see your nervous
You don't deserve it
I'll do the service
I'll bring you round to believe
That you can't mess around with reality

You're out of danger
I'm not a stranger
Sooner or later
Oooh I guess that you've got to know
That I'm here, I can't help
When you're feeling low


4.CHANGE IN THE WEATHER

I woke up with rocks in my head
As I pulled on my shoes with my feet still in bed
Ooh, it was a lost weekend
Got to the table screaming, "Never again!"
And I was cursing my terrible luck
There was a hole in my shoe, I was late for the bus
Ooh, she was running for the stop
Got there together and the clouds opened up

There's a change in the weather
Better share an umbrella, there's a storm in the air
Change in the weather
We could stand in the doorway or run for the stairs
Ooh, feel a change for the better now

So I gave her my last cigarette
And we passed it between us with the paper getting wet
Ooh, there was a laugh in her eyes
Made it hard to consider goodbye
An it felt like a movie to me
As I came on like Bogart in a grey gabardine
I made a friend in the rain
I heard the song and said, "Play it again..."


5.DOMINO

There's a fly on the wall, he must have seen it all
Buzzing around my head, the angry words that you said
And when he flies out the door, like you did once before
It brings it all home (Time after time)
Pick up the phone (I'm here all night)
Always alone...

Domino, I'm in the shadows, now your gone, you know
Domino, and I can't seem to find my way
Domino, you cut me deeper than the river flow
Domino, and I stays dark in here all day

It isn't easy to crawl, it isn't easy at all
But when you're never home, it's harder sleeping alone
I'd give the devil his due, for just one word from you
A card in the mail (Once in a while)
Those little details (Keep me alive)
Keep me alive


6.SPEECHLESS

Speechless
I wish there were something to say
I drank too much of you
And now you've gone to my head
I'm laughing like a fool
You leave me
Speechless
And words I'm rehearsing all day
Are caught up in the traffic
Getting lost in their way
They're always left unsaid
You leave me
Speechless

Restless
I count every step to the phone
And when I get the nerve to dial
Then you're never home
So here I am alone
And feeling restless

I wanted to say
You're unbelievable
But then I got caught up
On my own reply

If I asked you to stay around
To hear what I might say
Would I see the answers in your eyes

Speechless
I look for the right things to say
Whoever stole my dictionary
Tore out the page
It happens every day
You leave me
Speechless

Speechless
I know that it's all down to you
You see I'm not responsible
I've met my full meen

There's nothing I can do
You leave me
Speechless


7.BLOODY SUNDAY

There's a gunsight between my eyes
Oh, the jungle's so full of surprises
Looking round for my friends to arrive
Maybe they stayed at home
To stay alive

It's Sunday
Seems to be another bloody Sunday
Weather's lousy
Sunday
Seems to be another bloody Sunday
Can you tell me where the week-end goes
'Cause it sure goes ... fast!

There's a church that stay's open all day
Saving souls as they're passing the plate around
So salute the American way
Keep your head down low
And don't make a sound

The hours are irregular
When your up against the Popular Front
But you'd rather be adventuring
Than serving up in Burger King
You cut the rug and wipe the floor
When they get theirs then you get your kicks
So who cares what your fighting for
You sure look good in uniform

Keep your eyes on the road up ahead
Someone's mine may be yours
Put barbed wire round the bed
Now you've shoo-ed all the ghosties away
Little man, you've had a busy day


8.THE SOUND OF THE BELL

Distant voice calling station-to-station
Sounding lonely like a prison cell
We embrace for the final celebration
But we break at the sound of the bell
Like two heavies walking back to their corners
So beat up they can't see themselves
It's been good to go down, spend an hour on the canvas
But you're up at the sound of the bell
It's a heartbeat away, a sound you know very well
Listen to the sound of the bell
In a world full of rumors
It's a jungle everybody yells
The sound of the bell
See the braves wearing names on their sweaters
Holding candles over wishing wells
The scent that you smelt on the back of a letter
Made you freeze at the sound of the bell


9.YOU'RE LEAVING ME

Leave my keys in the door
Throw my bills on the floor
A note by the bed was all that se said
You couldn't stay, your leaving me

Take the phone off the wall
Tell your friends when they call
That we're indisposed, and this house is closed
From now on, you're leaving me

You're leaving me, with no good-byes
I want to die, and I don't know why you're
Leaving me with lonely nights
My eyes on the door, my face on the floor
You're leaving me, and life goes on , night after day
And time drags by real slowly non

How d'you spend your weekend
I stayed over with friends
And talked until four, slept on the floor
Missing you - you're leaving me...


10.HEAVEN FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Long, hot summer night, kisses by the street light
Button up, missed the bus, you'll never be home
For midnight...
It's a cruel world, it's a cruel world

Krushchev, Kennedy, a little piece of history
Daddy said we're coming close, we took it with a pinch of Glory
What a cruel world...

Heaven for the holidays, heroes on the radio
Heaven for the holidays, searching for a place to go
Hiding in the alleyway, choking on a cigarette
Heaven for the holidays, the sun's awful red
And it scares me to death

Back seat, heartbeat, making out from memory
Hands up, heads low, eyes looking out
The window...
At the cruel world...

Space talk, moonwalk, it's all right, Ma
Prime time merchandise, it certainly pays to advertise
In the cruel world..
