1. ROLLIN' STONED

Sipping down shouting about yeah we used to shake it out
Those days now i remember when anything was all right
Someone had my video blasting through the radio
Neighbours screaming out "what the hell's going on here?"
We were already gone with a whole lot to go
When the police showed i told them "kiss my arse"
So young living to die and i was on my own
Two wrongs making a right i was rolling stoned
Rich is building houses gary's doing hard time
Jamie's in the desert and brently's bought a gun
I saw an old photograph all that i could do was laugh
And scratch my head in wonder where did all the days go?
We were already gone with nowhere to go oh no
I was singing my songs with a heart and soul
So young i was living to die i was rolling stoned
Two wrongs making a right i was rolling stoned
It's a wonder i'm alive can't believe i ever made it through that ride
Rocking all over the night i was rolling stoned
So young i was living to die i was rolling stoned
Two wrongs making a right i was rolling stoned
Damn good to be alive wonder how i ever managed to survive
Rocking all over the night i was rolling stoned
Stoned stoned stoned
Sipping down shouting about yeah we used to shake it out
Rich is building houses gary's doing hard time
Brently bought a gun where did all the days go?
Rolling stoned i was rolling stoned


2. AIN'T NO SHAME

Ain't no line ain't no lying to love
Ain't no crime lord there ain't no crying to love to love
Well you say you're sick and tired of being lonely
And you say you've had enough of sympathy
And you find there's no one there to share your midnights
Well that just ain't the way it ought to be
And it ain't no shame
Ain't no shame to be loved and you better believe it
'Cause when you're there there's nothing else you'd ever want to do
Ain't no shame to be loved can't you hear me
Look inside your heart will tell you true all my love belongs to you
To walk the path the path of life alone so alone
A single light in an empty sky so alone yes are so alone
When it seems there's no one there to lend a shoulder
And your nights are cold and filled with misery
Well it's time you took a look a little closer
'Cause that's just ain't the way it is with be
And it ain't no shame
Ain't no shame to be loved and you better believe it
'Cause when you're there there's nothing else you'd ever want to do
Ain't no shame to be loved can't you hear me
Look inside your heart will tell you true all my love belongs to you
Well you say you're sick and tired of being lonely
And your nights are cold and filled with misery
Well it's time you took a look a little closer a little closer
'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be
No ain't no shame
Ain't no shame to be loved and you'd better believe it
'Cause when you're there there's nothing else you'd ever want to do
Ain't no shame to be loved all my love belongs to you
Ain't no shame to be loved
Ain't no shame to be loved


3. SILENT NIGHT

Every now and then i like to pick up the phone and make a call down memory lane
Well how you been? Well baby you could say i've been lonely too
I've been picking up the pieces ever since the day i left you sleeping on the motel road
I heard you had two kids got married it was quite the show
You're my one stone true regret as i'm lying alone in my bed
On this silent night i say a little prayer for you
On this silent night i send this message through
I was wrong to run should have took a little time for life
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I'm doing time in paradise on this silent night
I remember how we touched we were young in love didn't know what was wrong or right
We just stuck to each other like the earth sticks to the sun
You taught me how to laugh i learned how to cry it was easy as one two three
We were lucky and wild back then just happy to be
Now i think about you with desire and my heart's still full of fire
On this silent night i say a little prayer for you
On this silent night i send this message through
I was wrong to run should have took a little time for life
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I'm doing time in paradise on this silent night
In my mind i see the wind blow through your hair
I have a photograph of you and i somewhere
Painting pictures of the life that we would share
I wear this badge of sorrow but how was i to know
I found the truth comes easy when you live in the light i guess it only goes to show
So you think i'm crazy 'cause i feel this way
Going to pick myself up off the ground and i'll turn it around
On this silent night i say a little prayer for you
On this silent night i send this message through
I was wrong to run should have took a little time for life
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I guess it's time to say goodbye on this silent night on this silent night on this silent night


4. SAINT LORRAINE

Sometimes i wonder how i'm going to pay the rent
All i do is work my fingers to the bone
No time to rest no doubt i think i'm a fool
I used to think i couldn't get out of this
Stuck in a race car out of control
Man and i was doing about a hundred and five then i met you
And then i blinked you taught me to think
I owe it all to you
My my rain you got me singing along to the radio
You nailed my brain i call you saint lorraine
You put out the trash cleaned up my living room
Took me to bed now i'll never be the same
Brought out the man that a must have been hiding
There's two kinds of lovers one that takes and one that gives
Sometimes i shudder thinking how i've been used
I found my rhythm you'll never catch me singing no blues oh no
Sometimes i think about how you caught me with a wink
I give it all to you
My my rain you got me singing along to the radio
You nailed my brain i call you saint lorraine
My my rain you got me rocking along i'll never let you go
You took my pain i call you saint lorraine
Yes i do yes i do
And then you caught me with a wink i'll never let you go
I'm rocking all night long
Sometimes i wonder how i'm going to pay the rent
I used to think i'll never get out of this
And then i blinked and you took me out of that
My my rain you got me singing along to the radio
You nailed my brain i call you saint lorraine
Thank you very much lorraine you got me rocking along i'll never let you go
You took my pain i call you saint lorraine
Saint lorraine saint lorraine saint lorraine


5. IN THE TRADITION

Here i am hearing the same old good advice
Surrounded by fools who could swear each heart loves twice
I can't pretend everything's good believe me i wish that i could
I can't fake a smile through the evening i'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me but it has to be in the tradition of love gone wrong
I've noticed today i have one less friend to call
And no one to tell me it's all right as my world starts to fall
I'm doing the best that i can and i've had all the help i can stand
I can't fake a smile through the evening i'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me but it has to be in the tradition of love gone wrong
I'm ready to crash yes i am but i'll hide it the best that i can
I can't fake a smile through the evening i'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me make it last for me in the tradition of love gone wrong
In the tradition of love gone wrong


6. FREEDOM SONG

Here am i talking at the sky thinking about it all
I sometimes wonder at the way my life has gone
"hey boy you stop that running" i heard it from a friend just today
But as he spoke my heart was miles away
So get that old train rolling come on mister engineer
Need a freedom song to call my own take me on away from here
Met a girl in california she asked me if i would stay
And if i could for anyone you know it babe
But soon i got that same old feeling and i tried to make some sense of it all
Well baby i've been moving far too long
So get that old train rolling honey wipe away your tears
Got a freedom song to call my own take me on away from here
Hearing that whistle blowing reminds me of the good old days
Back on the road where i belong again again
Something to live for the freedom i need
Got to keep the dream alive now got to keep a piece of me
So get that old train rolling head it on away from here
Back on the road where i belong honey wipe away your tears
Hearing that old whistle blowing reminds me of a brand new day
A freedom song for everyone back on the road to stay
Give me a freedom song


7. GONE TO THE DOGS

I see the sun coming yeah but i can't sleep
I swim against the tide until i'm drowning in the deep end
Rushing to the rhythm of a racing heart
The more you get the more you want the more it takes to please you
I'm feeling so alive only the truth to hide
Gone to the dogs that's right
Gone to the dogs that's what i say
Never had a lover keep a leash on me
But keep that tail a wagging till the next time i see you
Dance under the moon until the morning light
Honey don't you fake me come on shake me baby take me tonight
I'm feeling so alive only the truth to hide
Gone to the dogs
Gone to the dogs listen what i say
Gone to the dogs that's right
I'm feeling so alive only the truth to hide
Gone to the dogs that's right
Gone to the dogs listen what i say
I'm doggone gone gone to the dogs
The dogs the dogs the doggone dogs
Gone gone gone


8. WOODEN JESUS

Down the road in my car a wooden jesus on my dashboard
Go to work to stay alive i'm just a sinner trying to survive
We commit all those deadly sins but i don't worry 'cause i got my friend
I got my wooden jesus in my car he's always with me never too far
My wooden jesus forgives me i'm a sinner that's why i believe
In my wooden jesus
Wake up in the morning sun on my dresser got another one
Say a prayer to start my day maybe the big man will show me the way
A money maker down in east l.a. Stamping them out ten thousand a day
I got a wooden jesus in my car he's always with me never too far
My wooden jesus he's my friend i've been a lion laying down with the lamb
I got my friend got my soul why he forgives me god only knows
'Cause he's a wooden jesus wooden jesus wooden jesus
Lord take me on away from here take me down the road to salvation
Help me jesus try to find my way send me a revelation
I got to wooden jesus in my car got him sitting on my dashboard
Wooden jesus shows the way he keeps me ready for that judgement day
He's my wooden jesus forgiving me i need a savoir so i try to believe
In my wooden jesus doesn't mind he always loves me he's my kind
Of wooden jesus wooden jesus wooden jesus
Ten thousand maybe more wrapped with string on a cheap old board
Cast iron believe me five ninety five will buy your reprieve
Wooden jesus
He's my friend show me the way keep me ready for that judgement day
Wooden jesus


9. SISTER MARY

Let the world be still tonight let the fire be the only light
Draw the curtain pull down the shade in easy arms we'll lay
So come on lady now close your eyes let the madness pass on by
Loosen up your golden hair stroke away my every care
There's no comfort in strangers that i can't find right here
Laying down in the arms of sister mary will her loving ever last?
Laying down in the arms of mother mary let the world drift past
For a moment a perfect love pure and silent like a star above
Never mind about tomorrow's fears peace of mind is here
Outside's a world of strangeness so i will stay right here
Laying down in the arms of sister mary will her loving ever last?
Laying down in the arms of mother mary nothing more to ask
Let her loving come to you
Let her loving come to you
Her love will come to you and bring you home
Outside's a world of strangers so i will stay right here
Laying down in the arms of sister mary will her loving ever last?
Laying down in the arms of mother mary nothing more to ask
Laying down in the arms of sister mary will her loving ever last?
Laying down in the arms of mother mary let the world drift past


10. LOVELESS AGE

When i was younger i trusted fate to pave the way
Love was so easy just a game that children play
No time out for changes all my days are darkened dreams
Now there ain't nothing and nothing's what it seems
You know heartache comes full circle has the past returned again again?
I'm upside down i don't understand you any more
Is it somebody else i see walking through my door?
No more lies on the table no more pictures on the wall
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
Night brings no comfort a rider on the storm
Looking for reason in the face of destiny
'Cause faith has no meaning in a broken dream
Where there ain't no one and no one's who they seem
You know heartache comes full circle and the scars on the soul never fade
I'm upside down i don't understand you any more
Is it somebody else i see walking through my door?
No more lies on the table no more pictures on the wall
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
I don't want you what i need
Is the touch of a woman who won't try to make me bleed
Maybe i'm crazy yeah baby that's me
No no no no no no don't go dragging me down
And then leave me to drown in this loveless age
I'm upside down i don't understand you any more
Is it somebody else i see walking through my door?
No more lies on the table no more pictures on the wall
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
Living in a loveless age
It's not that easy in a loveless age
No more no more in a loveless age
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age
Feel like i'm living in a loveless age


11. PSYCHEDELIC HURRICANE

I don't ever want to hurt you
That's just the way it is with me
And i don't care how long it takes you
To hold my hand skip a stone standing naked by the sea
Tossing turning spinning around
This world is full of tinsel town
My pocket full of change is all gone
Psychedelic hurricane clouds outside my window pane
Spinning around and around paint the skies above you
Tossing turning someone set me free like the sun shining on the sea
There's a place i want to take you
Where you can hover over me
Don't worry love i won't forsake you
So dry those tears from your eyes my love is all you need
Falling crawling drags me down
Don't know till you've hit the ground
Yesterday was here but now it's gone
Psychedelic hurricane clouds outside my window pane
Spinning around and around paint the skies above you
Tossing turning someone set me free like the sun shining on the sea
Pour your rain on me
Let your love rain down on me
That's all i need to make it through the fire
That's all i need pour your rain on me
I'm falling yes i'm crawling just like a demon that can't let go
I feel eclectic this love's electric just like a diamond as black as coal
Psychedelic hurricane clouds outside my window pane
Spinning around and around paint the skies above you
Tossing turning someone set me free like the sun shining on the sea
Pour your rain on me


12. HEY MISTER

Looking back there's nothing left to say
Wishing that this life would slowly fade away
Dreams behind these eyes no one could know
But wake to find there's nowhere left to go
Hey mister can't you see i'm feeling so alone?
But then i don't think you'd understand
All i ever wanted was to live life unafraid
All i ever needed was some love
Stories told on weary cardboard signs
Eulogise the lives now left behind
Faces worn and etched with all despair
Passers by they look but seldom care
Hey mister can't you see the ring around the moon?
Maybe it's the water in my eyes
All i ever wanted was to live life unashamed
All i ever needed was some love
Living on the edge of sanity
Wondering how this ever came to be
Feeling so unnecessary got to find some sanctuary
Hey buddy can you spare a dime?
Hey mister can't you see i'm feeling so abused?
But really i don't think you'd understand
All i ever wanted was to live life what i mean is
All i ever needed was someone
Hey mister
Hey mister can't you see i'm just a man like you?
Who's trying hard to keep his dignity
Maybe if you could just walk a mile inside my shoes
You'd see that i just need a helping hand
Hey mister please begging on my knees
Can anybody help me find my way?
