1. Hard time

Asked my girl what she wanted from me
She said ev'rything that I can see
I said baby what d'you thing of me
And she said nothing at all

So I sit here waiting patiently
To see if there will be a change or three
I think that baby she is using me
It doesn't matter at all
And now I'm wond'ring which way to go

So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes it's a hard time for us all be som kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again

Now I think of all the times we had
Yeah, of all the good and all the bad
I sometimes think that maybe I've been had
It doesn't matter at all
And now I'm wond'ring which way to go

So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes it's a hard time for us all be som kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again

Asked my girl what she wanted to be
She said ev'rything that I can be
I said baby what d'you think of me
And she said nothing at all
And so I'm wond'ring which way to go

So it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it straight
Yes it's a hard time for us all, hope she's not too late
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again
Oh it's a hard time for us all 'til she gets it right
Yes, it's a hard time for us all be som kind of fight
She makes the same excuse for making all the same mistakes again

Oh, it's a hard time
Yes, it's a hard, hard time
Now, it's a hard time
Yes, it's a hard, hard time
Hard, hard time
Hard, hard time

2. 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

3. Let's ride

It's such a very long time ago
And we were riding down the dusty road
I took a turn around the dusty track
And said I'm never ever coming back
Aw, but baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Riding high on a pair of wheels

Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

It took me twenty-five thousand miles
A new starter and a pair of tyres
When at last I realised the end
Was coming up around the bend
I turned around and scraped my boots
And headed back again towards my roots
The wind was blowing through my hair
And the sun was shining everywhere

Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

A little loving goes a long, long way
And it called me back again
Now I know which way to go
I'm never ever gonna ride alone
So baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Ridng high upon a pair of wheels

Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

4. Baby boy

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged

When I was an older baby boy
All the girls I wanted were my joy
I would drink my wine, wouldn't miss a night
How I wish that someone had put me right
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy

When I was an older lady's toy
Thoughts of lust and wealth were now my joy
And the years gone by are so far behind
But the memories are still in my mind
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy

5. You don't own me

You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more

You made your bed an now you're trying to hide it
You made a bed of nails
Although you pinned me down I never tried to fight it
You had me on the rails
And now your snakeskin colours are flying
You're trying to hide your poison disguise
So wipe the crocodile tears that are falling
They only make me realise

You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more

I can read the lines, the lines your face is showing
They say your time has come
And every single line your evil heart is scheming
Ain't gonna fool no-one
I'm gonna turn my back on the wild side
And take my rainfall way to the sun
Across the plains of a new horizon
Don't say goodbye, I'm already gone
And in the dreams of your fantasy love world
You tore the hole right out of your life
And got a one-way ticket to nowhere
And now at last I realise

You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey

You don't own me no more
You don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more

Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me, don't hang around honey
You don't own me no more
Oh, you don't own me no more...

6. Rockers rollin'

T-t-t-take us along on a mystery train that's going nowhere
Take us along on a mystery train that's going nowhere

Had enough of peeping and hiding
Rolling away, 'cos this is our day
And everybody's feeling alright

We wanna run on the 9:41 'til we're there

8. Who am I?

Am I to you a lover or a brother?
Am I the one you can rely upon?
Am I the one you can take home to your mother
And am I the one who is singing you this song?
Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I to you?

Am I the one who lies here in your bed?
Am I the one you made to dry out?
And am I the one who yesterday said
Am I the one you'd be better off without?
Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I to you?

Am I the chain that keeps you from falling?
Am I the thoughts going round in your head?
Am I the night-time? Am I the morning?
Am I a fool that you wish for dead?

Yes I am your lover and your brother
I am the one who lies here in your bed
I am the one who never did you wrong
I am the fool that you wish were dead
Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I to you?

9. Too far gone

You've been looking like a low down liquor drinking money grabber
I don't wanna see you looking this way
It's a crime the way you're carrying on
You'll keep it up till you're too far gone

Yeh yeh, yeh yeh

You took off with a no-good double dealing money maker
It's too bad your head was up in the clouds
It's a shame you didn't get what you want
Don't wait forever, it's too far gone

You said goodbye, you'd never listen
You couldn't be wrong
And now it's over it's not so easy
To say it's all gone

If you wanna play a bad game, you've got to be a good player
It don't matter if you win or you lose
No one cares if you're right of wrong
You only win when you're too far gone

You're running wild living out your fantasy life
And ev'rybody knows the game by the look in your eyes

If you wanna play a bad game, you've got to be a good player
It don't matter if you win or you lose
No one cares if you're right of wrong
You only win when you're too far gone

You're running wild living out your fantasy life
And ev'rybody knows the game by the look in your eyes

Too far gone, too far gone
Too far gone, too far gone

10. For you

Now I see the light that's shining from your eyes
Even brighter than before
Telling me something now that I believe is true
'Cos I found the truth with you

I will take you with me everywhere I go
Flying higher than before
With a feeling that is meant for you and me
Every day a little more

If we see a way together as we go
We will never be alone
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

If I think of all the things that I have seen
And I look at me
When I think of all the things that I could do
I could do them all with you
I would do them all with you
I will do them all for you

11. Dirty water

O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep
And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Many's the time I've asked you to say
Why do you feel so bad day to day?
Could it be you're wrong to push yourself alone
I'd say it's not a guess, you make yourself a mess
And get yourself in deeper water

Why do you think it's all wrong for you?
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby, it's alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta

O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, because it's dirty, dirty water
Oh-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Why do you think it's all wrong for you?
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby, it's alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in
O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep
And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep.....

12. Hold you back

How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more
Is it really the reason when it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

Does the clock that you're watching ever tell you 'bout the
time
Does the song that you're singing sound to you like a rhyme
Will there be an answer when you stop asking why
All because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

How d'you know the music when you don't know the score
Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more
Is it really the reason when it is not a need
Are you trying hard to write it before you can read

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Slow you down, you've gotta try

Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down, slow you down
Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
