LACE AND WHISKEY

I find myself running in circles Lost and half insane And I need a cure sometimes To knock out the pain So I yell out for some kind of angel To come down and rescue me Be as soft as you can Put a drink in my hand I'm as scared as I ever could be Give me lace and whiskey Mama's own remedy Double indemnity Fills me with ecstasy Lace and whiskey Lots of things I really want, yeah Lots of things I really need There's an animal soul inside That I gotta feed A hot mama, feminine body Always gets a rise from me She's so soft in my hands I give her all she can stand Make a full fledged man out of me Give me lace and whiskey Mama's own remedy Double indemnity Fills me with ecstasy Lace and whiskey Lace and whiskey I ain't hard-assed So, babe, don't make me mean I want a hot place To grow and show you things Give me lace and whiskey Mama's own remedy Double indemnity Fills me with ecstasy Lace and whiskey I'll end up a broken old hobo With red and yellow eyes Swearing and drunk and dying No one's surprise That's a long, long way from today, babe As far as I can see So shake off your shoes Go and get me my booze Lay your love and your laces on me Give me lace and whiskey Mama's own remedy Double indemnity Fills me with ecstasy Lace and whiskey Lace and whiskey Lace and whiskey Lace and whiskey

KING OF THE SILVER SCREEN

By day, I'm a workin' man Layin' bricks or layin' pipe I don't stand out in a crowd Just look like one of the guys Little do they know When I'm alone in bed at night I become the king of the silver screen I stare at the ceiling there I know where I belong I two-step with Fred Astaire Or fighting old King Kong I can be any hero at all Zorro or Don Juan I know I'm the the king of the silver screen Hollywood movies keep flashing across my mind I could've been Valentino if I was born in another time I might be solving a case Or swinging from a tree Share a joke with Crosby and Hope We're such good friends, you see Even dazzle the Academy with my versatility Cause I'm the the king of the silver screen Hollywood movies keep flashin' across my mind I could've been Errol Flynn if I was born in another time, whoa-oh I could've been a star I could've been a star I could've played that part But Hollywood movies keep flashing before my eyes I could've been Greta Garbo if I was born in another time I wake the very next day Go on back to work I'm just a face in a crowd Another average jerk And all the guys on the building site look at me and flirt Because I'm the queen of the silver Yes, I'm the queen of the silver screen I admit it to all my fellow workers I don't care any more I'm tired of closets I'm gonna eat my makeup for lunch today Just stop hittin' me again All right guys?

UBANGI STOMP

Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain I rocked in Memphis, it was all the same Till I rocked to Africa, I rolled off the ship I seem them natives doing an odd looking skip I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp And I seen them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll It beats anything that's ever been told Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style When it kicks, it drives a cool cat wild Well I looked up the chief, he invited me in He said, "A heap big jam session's 'bout to begin" I grabbed up a tom and I picked up that beat That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile I did the Ubangi Stomp with a Ubangi style Well, we rocked all night and part of the day Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter, Mae I'm makin' good time and I'm gettin' in the know When the captain said, "Son, we've gotta go" I said, "That's all right, you go right ahead I'm gonna Ubangi Stomp till I roll over dead" Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll It beats anything that's ever been told Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style When it hits, it drives a cool cat wild Ubangi Stomp, thank you



(No More) LOVE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE

Your childish game is over now Lost your power overnight somehow Better see, it ain't gonna be like it used to be No more love at your convenience No more love at your command No more love at your convenience Lots of times late at night, I really needed you I'm telling you tonight's the night Close your mouth, turn off the light Pull me babe, pull me down closer on you No more love at your convenience No more love at your command No more love at your convenience Lots of times late at night, I really needed you I really needed you I really needed you No more love at your convenience No more love at your command No more love at your convenience Quit your tears and dry your eyes You know I hate to see you cry Don't you see things gotta be what they gotta be? No more love at your convenience...



I NEVER WROTE THOSE SONGS

My tape recorder, it must be lyin' Cause this, I just can't believe I hear a voice that's cryin' That's not me The wheel goes round I hear a sound It's comin' out all wrong And I swear to you I never wrote that song I been livin' in my own shell so long The only place I ever feel at home And oh, that music I hate those lyrics It stayed inside me so long And I swear to you I never wrote that song But pardon me I'm not lookin' for sympathy, not sympathy I'm just thinking out loud The melody It goes nowhere pointlessly, silence please I been livin' in my own shell so long The only place I ever feel at home And oh, that music I hate those lyrics It stayed inside me so long And I swear to you I never



MY GOD

If I should find myself in blackest night And fear is stabbing me all over A tiny prayer cracks the dark with light And I here sounds behind my wall Inside, a still, small voice, it calls and calls Then like a thunder bolt, it falls and falls My God When life becomes more real than children's games Or we've become too old to play them We'll grow old gracefully, we'll hide our shame But there's that voice behind the wall And like my conscience, it is still and small Each word is mercy, protects us all My God I was a boy, when tempted, fell sometimes And fell so low, no one could see me Except for the eyes of Him that sees my crime When sheep like me have drifted lost All frightened children who are tempest tossed Down flies His wrath like an albatross My God
