THE BEST YET
Verse 1
I lift your shirt
And feel your skin
Hear your body say
Come on in
Hold you now
So warm and wet
Gonna make it
The best yet
Chorus
And all I wanna do
Is make love to you
Verse 2
Put my clothes down
On the chair
Feel the sweat
In your hair
Hold you tight
Can't slip away
Stay right here
Til the new day
Verse 3
Gonna teach you
You gotta learn
Times like this
You gotta earn
Work all day
Play all night
Now hold tight
Turn out the light
THE DARK ROAD CHORUS
I will walk the dark road
For you
Do what you want me
To do
Gonna love you my whole
Life through
I will walk the dark road
For you.
Gonna leave home
Gotta leave the city
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Don't need no pity
I'll follow you
Wherever you go
Gotta follow through
God only knows
CHORUS
Won't see no day
No sun in the sky
Won't hear you say
I'm yours till I die
Long hard ways
Hard stony beds
I'll love you evr'y day
I'll love you till death
CHORUS
THE DAY THAT YOU LEFT ME (FAST)
Verse 1
I didn't understand
How could I see
The way that things
Turned out to be
People just carry on
Don't they know
That you are gone
Why can no-one see
Life just can't go on
From the day that you left me
Chorus
People sing and
People dance
Can't they see
I lost my chance
The day that you left me
The day that you left me
Verse 2
Can't you see the
Tears I shed
Can't you get it
Through your head
I think that I'd
Rather be dead
I just can't believe
What you said
If only you'd look back and see
What your leaving did to me
The day that you left me
THE END
Verse 1
You thought you'd got the best of me
When you had me on the floor
But you just listen up big boy
I won't take no more
Chorus
I won't take no more of you
You ain't even a friend
I won't take no more of you
Cos this is the end
Verse 2
I just got so sick of you
You're just a big kid with his toys
You thought you could show me off
Like your whore to the boys
Verse 3
So now can you understand
I'm much too good for you
Go and run off little boy
You and me we're through
THE FUTURE IS ANOTHER LAND
The future is another land
Made of smoke
Made of sand
I thought I knew
Of me and you
But you dealt another hand.
The view ahead is of mist
Made of dreams
Where we kissed
I thought I knew
Of me and you
But my loves arrow missed.
The light ahead is growing dim
As sunset fades
And shadows thin
I thought I knew
Of me and you
But I never heard of him.
THE OLD BASTARD BLUES (HOUND DOG BLUES)
Verse 1
I can't sleep
I can't eat
I can't keep
On my feet
Feel so down
Feel so low
Don't know where
I'm gonna go
I go here
I go there
But you know
I don't care
I guess it ain't the latest news
I just got that old bad bastard blues
Verse 2
I don't care
I don't mind
If you're bad
If you're kind
I don't care
If you see
I just care
About me
I can't stop
I can't stay
You catch me
Another day
I guess it ain't the latest news
I just got that old bad bastard blues
THE PASSION OF DREAMS
Verse 1
I know my life doesn't look much fun
I know I seem sad to you
But you don't see me when day is done
You don't know what I do
Night after night I work my way
Through the lovers and the scenes
You see I live half my life
In the passions of my dreams
Verse 2
You think I'm foolish cos I dream
Cos I live my dreams alone
But I am not as I seem
I'm a king/queen on my throne
I live in love for half my life
Scene after vivid scene
I know what is really mine
In the passions of my dreams

Shadows on the land
Now that you're here
So undemanding
Come and take my hand

Close your eyes
You are not dreaming
The earth still rotates
We've told no lies
And love is growing
Leave it to the fates
Leave it to the fates

I'd heard on the street
Of how you'd had it rough
Of how you had got beat

You'd always be with me

A lost and lonely soul
A suitcase in my hand
The guy who lost it all |
THE VAMPIRES OF OLD NEW YORK

Hiding under stairs
They drink your blood
You don't drink theirs
Sleeping in the daytime
They don't get caught

Following me
You don't know
Who it's gonna be
They like life
To be a little fraught
They are the vampires
Of old New York

On the streets
Through the park
Better watch out
If it's dark
They never found
But often sought
They are the vampires
Of old New York

Better watch out
They're in your town
On the streets
And underground
They don't care
What you thought
They are the vampires
Of old New York

Flyin' from you
Going to get free

Just how happy you make me

And you're the one for me

And when the sun comes sliding
Over our bedroom sill
