Stormbringer

Coming out of nowhere, driving like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering, breaking the day
No point running 'cos it's coming your way
Ride the rainbow, crack the sky
Stormbringer coming, time to die
Got to keep runnin'
Stormbringer comin'
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Oh yeah-yeah
You know he's gonna get you
Rainbow shaker on a stallion twister
Bareback rider on the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning heading your way
Ride the rainbow, crack the sky
Stormbringer coming, time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Yeah
Mm ouh-ooh yeah
Coming out of nowhere, driving like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering, breaking the day
No point running mmh
'Cos he's coming your way
'Cos he's coming your way...

Love don't mean a thing

Mmmh oh babe I gotta get down
If I work hard every day for my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't funny oh yeah
Now if I see something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try to get my money
I need my money oh yeah
A woman who ain't got a dime, I can't use her
If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to refuse her, I've got to refuse her
I need a woman with a whole lotta will
So she help me, baby, help me pay my bill
I need my money mm yeah
I've got to have money yeah ouh-oh
I need lovin' to give me a livin'
So don't ask me, I don't need forgivin'
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the loss
Ooh ooh ooh
I need a woman with a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money yeah I want my money ah
Before I say my prayers, I count my money
When I wake up it had to be there, my money
You see, love, it don't mean a thing
When she loves you she can't bring...
Can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money
Looking for loving
I need a living
Looking for loving
I need a living...

Holy man

Called to Madonna to give me a line, she said "Boy, what have you done?"
Passing your time with a holy man, talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow away from all these lies
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand?
Called to the captain to put me ashore, it looked like no man's land
"Is this the way to follow" I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer he didn't really hold the key
"I am a simple man" was all he said to me
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
Heard my mother crying, she was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night, saying "who's to blame?"
The hour glass keeps turning with not enought sand to see
I am a holy man so don't you bother me
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?
I called out your name mmm
Out in the cold
You left me alone

Hold on

You're sweeter than the morning when the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say that could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby
Hold on - I feel I'm getting ready
Hold on - I feel I'm rocking steady
Hold on - I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on - You got to gimme some love, gimme some love
I held back before but your love took me easily
You got the power I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give your love keeps coming on strong
Although it's mine now I know it won't be for long
It won't be for long, you're always coming on strong
There's something in the saying that a woman needs a little more time ah
I'm getting tired of waiting for you giving me some kind of sign hey yeah
Hold on - I've got to love you when I want to
Hold on - You've got to love me when I want you to
Hold on - I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on - No never no more
I know the game you're playing and I guess you think I'm easily led
You think the words you're saying are really going through my head
I'm gonna take you home and give you all I can
I'll prove to you, baby that really I'm a man, that really I'm a man
Hold on - I know I'm feeling ready
Hold on - I know I'm rocking steady
Hold on - I guess I've made it with you woman
Hold on - I've got you giving me love
Something that you give me keeps me hanging on
No use me staying, there's nothing to be done
I'm gonna take you home and give you all that I can, baby
I'll prove to you woman that really I'm a man, that really I'm a man
I'm doing all that I can, look out uh
Hold on - I only want to take you higher
Hold on - You are the root of my desire
Hold on - C'mon baby light my fire
Hold on - Ooh-ooh
Hold on - Got to give it to you every way
Hold on - Baby baby baby babe
Hold on - Got to find out that love is the only way
Hold on - C'mon baby, c'mon baby
Hold on - I got to, I got to give it to you
Hold on - Oooh-oooh
Hold on - Got to give it to you every way
Hold on - Every night and every day...

Lady Double Dealer

Get out of my way, I'm getting tired of you
There ain't no chance doing what you wanna do
I've been down down down down
Got to get my feet back on the ground
Lady Double Dealer! Get out of my way
Lady Double Dealer! You got nothing to say
I ain't satisfied dealing with second hand goods
You wanted something for nothing taking everything you could
You been 'round uh I got the news
But you ain't waiting 'round for me to lose
Lady Double Dealer! Get out of my way
Lady Double Dealer! You got nothing to say
I gave love to you, did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down oh baby
So I just had to try... try to reason why
You took advantage of my love
Mm yeah two timing woman trying to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey but you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there to try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool out of me
Get out of my way
Get out of my way
Get out of my way

You can't do it right (with the one you love)

Mm have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do
You can't do it right with the one you love
Nothing you can do without the one you love
You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good
You can't do it right with the one you love
Nothing you can do without the one you love
Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
I can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show
Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
I can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show
You can't do it right with the one you love
Nothing you can do without the one you love
You can't do it right...

High ball shooter
 
Well I'm a rock and roll preacher
Not a sunday school teacher
You ain't no shady lady but I love the way you strut your stuff
Mm baby mm
You're a snow queen looking mean
Trying to make it on the scene
I guess you love it 'cos I always see you hanging around
Aah hanging around
You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
A magnet brought you to me told me your name was Jo
You said you liked my music and you really did enjoy the show
Now I wanna play piano but my fingers don't agree
They're busy on you woman and I feel your fingers working on me oh
You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
It's time to leave you honey, I know you're feeling sad
Don't you cry now baby, you know that only makes me mad
And I don't like feeling mad
I see you everywhere I go, every town and place
I can't recall your name but I know I won't forget your sweet face
Mm I can't forget your face
You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
'Cos you're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
C'mon baby!
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
Sure ripped the low ones of me

The gypsy

Tell me gypsy, can you see me in your crystal ball?
I'm asking you what can I do - My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer, so I've come to you, my friend
For now my life seems at an end
I came to see you once before, one hundred years ago
You took my hand And broke the spell that should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly, so I'm here again, my friend
For now my life is at an end

Soldier of fortune

I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter, waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs then maybe
you would say "Come lay with me love me" and
I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older and the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance like the sound of a windmill going 'round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller, I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold, I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing, It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older and the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance like the sound of a windmill going 'round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound of a windmill going 'round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
