When the money's gone, will you be my friend Float a small row boat till the ship comes in When the winter nights chill us to the soul Will you feed the fire, spin the straw to gold When the money's gone When the money's gone, will you get cold feet Wil...

I lived in a tenement six floors above I lent you my records and I lent you my love But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave That's a dirty and a low-down trick My folks all think you're mean But I don't mind, that's kind of nifty You alwa...

See the changes here on every street As time goes marching to a different beat Moving on into the restless age As the kids today find their feet (Long enough to hold on) Young enough to chase our dreams We were captured by romantic things Touched by lo...

Dada dum-da dadada dum-da Where it's at Dada dum-da dadada dum-da Where it's at He's a man who knows most everything Of anything at all Tells a story of psychology And his story never falls He's a man who wears a portobello yellow bill-bob hat He's a...

I took myself a blue canoe And I floated like a leaf Dazzling, dancing Half enchanted In my Merlin sleep Crazy was the feeling Restless were my eyes Insane they took the paddles My arms they paralysed So were to now St. Peter If it's true I'm in yo...

She grows, she's grown like pampas Tall in the wind She's sinful and spiteful She's all girl, woman and mother She's had my children And she's been my lover No no no no no no she don't like to fight it Once you've been bitten You get excited My mamm...

You're cruel, you do You do, you do me wrong You hurt me, you flirt with Any old face that comes along But I won't be your whipping boy No I won't be your whipping boy Break me like a little toy Run me till my feet are sore But I won't be your whippin...

Look at me twice with wildcat eyes Promise me everything except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath Walking fingers ru...

Dust settles on a thin cloud Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours Staring at a line of white powder High-priced madness pays the tab I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag I'm a cata...

White man danger He's come to stay Red man, it's all over You're in the way White man danger Time on his side Red man, you don't know it But your world just died Let's hear it for the white man He feels no pain Let's hear it for the white man He f...

Tonight it's hot down here I can almost smell the rain And I can almost taste the fear Behind your name Fans turning on the ceiling I feel sticky as a chili dog White boys howling in the evening On that hollow log Tall tales down the river Say we aim...

There's a light on in your window There's a shadow on the street Two silhouettes tell me it's over The shadow knows the shadow's me I won't crawl or cause you trouble Well, that's the last thing I'll ever do But before I leave your life completely...

It's written clear across the room In silent words the blind could understand I came here to relax and find A sleep that soaks me up like surf and sand And you appear as I descend A soft outline all poised and feather light I come into the darkness now...

It makes a lot of difference It takes a lot of time To call it quits, and let it slide And leave someone behind It's hard not to think of her In terms of causing pain I see her now for what she's worth She takes my love in vain And wild love...

The more I learn, the more I see The less the world impassions me The hungry heart, the roving eye Have come to rest, do not apply The frantic chase, the crazy ride The thrill has gone, I step aside I'd believe in anything were it not for you Showing m...

Ice cubes on the back of your neck Warm wind blowing through the parking lot A radio humming in every car, and it feels like the clocks have stopped Calypso moon just cast its spell We grabbed that magic just because We remember and never forget what a w...

I remember it like it was yesterday Snow in the park and skaters on the ice Long black cars standing side by side Loading up the boys at night Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind Caught an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights Not somethin...

There are ladies, illegal X's Mona Lisa's, well connected They may be shady, English roses Blue blooded, turned up noses Money talks, see what it catches Postage paid, no strings attached She's a honey, she's a tramp Roaring twenties, molls and...

Is there anything left Maybe steak and eggs Waking up to washing up Making up your bed Lazy days my razor blade Could use a better edge It's enough to make you laugh Relax in a nice cool bath Inspiration for navigation Of our new found craft I know...

I am here to tell you we can never meet again simple really, isn't it a word or two and then a lifetime of not knowing where or how, or why, or when you think of me, or speak of me or wonder what befell the someone you once loved so long ago, somewher...

Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built, alas,...

I can feel the time closing in I can feel the years crawling through my skin And if I doubt myself I can count on the rain To cover the tears of this aging game But I can count on you to play your part I don't miss a beat of your animal heart And when you pus...

You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules but before you try You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You can stop the world, steal the face from the moon You can beat the clock, but before high noon You gotta love so...

I said from the start that you'd be mine But now it just seems I'm just wasting your time If only you knew the hurt I've been through You'll be sorry to see me go You'll be sorry to see me go I've always done the best that I could To make you happy like...

I've a constant ache in the morning light It's on account of the night before Some Park Lane lady in a shady bar Took a fancy to the watch I wore But I can still remember how she laughed at me As I spun around and hit the bed She said thank you honey, f...

Young, gifted and black Oh what a lovely precious dream To be young, gifted and black Open your heart to what I mean In the whole world you know There's a million boys and girls Who are young, gifted and black And that's a fact Young, gifted and blac...

I could really get off being in your shoes I used to be stone sold on rhythm and blues A heard of a place at the back of town Where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down I really got buzzed when your sister said "Throw away them records 'cause...

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show...
