Field of broken dreams never what it seems Sea of broken hearts tearing me apart 1: (Oct 24/2001) Baby, we're going nowhere, And darling, we're moving fast. Honey, we though forever, So tell me, why can't love last? They say, we're young and simple. Some say, life's in the past. They say, don't dream forever. I say, let's make love last. Baby, let's head out somewhere. Darling, we don't need fast. Together, we'll dream forever. Sweetheart, let's make love last. We're gonna put love first, We're gonna make love last. If we will put love first Then we can make love last 2: (Sep 18/2001) I been checkin you baby Vision's drivin me crazy I used to be lazy Now I'm workin real hard Cause you to look my way A long drive on the hiway We could park in the byway Oh I'm workin real hard Two hearts they could fly way Way up in the sky away My love's for real 'll not f-f-f-f-fade away Oh I'm workin real hard Come Monday or Tuesday Everyone with a clue say He don't know what to do hey?

That summer wind blows in again. Do the rythms of the distant drums Still call softly through the night? Life twists and turns Some crash and burn. Some find the strength to carry on. Sing your tune my friend Sing your island song. Sing with jubilation The melody within your heart. And know that after all these years and all these miles apart You and your tune are still a part of my heart. Let's ride the line and escape the night. 15: (Aug 14/2001) The Only One Everybody knows my name But to me they're all the same Darling you're the only one That I want when the day's run Its course Everybody wants their fame I only want what I can't tame Darling you're the only one That I want when the day's done Of course The force of your love Is pushing me higher The heat of your skin Fuels every desire within Our hearts and our souls and our brains Like two runaway trains Are rushing us on We dare not remain But fly on till dawn Has come once again Everybody wants someplace I seek my own with calm and grace Darling you're the only one That I want the only one I love 16: (Jan 15/2002) I'm not afraid of Tuesday night And I won't love a woman Who can't pick a fight Tuesday is fine but Wednesday is right And I can't love a woman Who won't end a fight Fish on the left and birds on the right There's dogs in the sky Love's fading from sight No I'm not afraid of Tuesday night And I won't sit alone My heart is too bright Now you're here with my, Saturday night You're smelling so fine And I'm feeling allright 17: (Jan 22/2002) The consequences have unravelled The girl's defences have all flown Her best pretenses lie in ashes Now life is senseless, she's alone Tonight the boys are in the jungle They're hunting fresh meat every one Until the moon hides in the ocean They head on home, here comes the sun 18: (Feb 13/2002) I'm not your dream I'm not your joy I'm not your favourite Plastic Boy But if you touch me Under the stars I'll be your man And you can drive my car 19: (Apr 19/2002) Two Dollar Bill I got a two dollar bill in my pocket I got two more miles to go I been waitin too long to see you tonight And baby its starting to show So darling try to be ready Yeah get ready to go We'll shout and we'll dance And try a little romance And later we can jump in the flow I got a three dollar bill in my pocket And there's three things I want to know Will you kiss all night, choose to love or fight And baby how's your garden grow So darling try to be ready Yeah get ready to go We'll shout and we'll dance And try a little romance And later we can jump in the flow I got a half dollar bill in my pocket And I have to let you know I been waiting this long for hte time to be right And Mary its starting to flow So darling tell me you're ready Say you're ready to go Well we shouted and danced And tried a little romance And now its time to jump in the flow Yes we shouted and danced And tried a little romance And now its time to jump in the flow You know its time to jump in the flow Mmmm Mary its so sweet in the flow 20: (Apr 21/2002) Just put my dreams back in the box Give me the key and snap the locks Then head on out and leave me all alone You know you don't love me no more I saw you last night by the shore With your new boy friend And the top down on your ride. 21: (Apr 28/2002) I'm not happy bout the sound of your clothes The high end's fine but the low end blows And as for the midrange, no one knows Girl we gotta do something bout the sound of them clothes. 22: (Apr 29/2002) I saw Susie, standing there with you In the morning, drinking Mountain Dew She was so fine, she cut my heart in two Now I'm crying, I'm crying and I'm blue She don't love me anymore She don't need me that's for sure She walked out that open door Left me crying on the floor She don't love me anymore I saw Barbie, at the beach with you In the bright sun, water shining blue She left too soon, why I never knew Now I'm wondering, what's a man to do?

Now we're sitting on the sloping sand she's leaning in, we're hand in hand and the moonlight rides come rolling in to greet us. 35: (Nov 13/2002) Weekend Daze (?) Warm sand on beaches And moonlight on reaches With soft southern breezes And salty the peaches of dreams I cherish that first kiss In memories as waves hiss Round ankles, feet buried in sand A young brown haired beauty A shape that got to me And a taste that made love's demands Her image came to me Her eyes were so blue she Cut out my heart and she Tore out my dreams So now on the weekends I sit by the deep end And think that perhaps I'll just Jump in her sound 36: (Dec 22/2002) Wake up and sing me a song And tell me that you'll love me all day long And through the night untill the morning comes again Rise up and play me a tune The kind of music makes a young man swoon And pledge his heart beneath the summer moon again Step up and give me a kiss Soft and sweet from tender lips I've missed Then turn right round and kiss me again and again Jump up and give me your heart Give it all I don't want just a part 37: (Mar 14/2002) Tell me all the good things That you want to do for me Tell me all the sweet things That you want to be for me Tell me all your truths Tell me all your lies Tell me all your half-baked alibis Tell me all the good things That you want to do for me 38: (Nov 27/2001) I sure love you more and more each day And I sure need you no matter what I say You're so lovely you take my will away 39: (Sep 23/2004) Take a movie star Home in a jar Put em under your pillow Hide em in your drawers Pretty soon you'll owe More than before Cause interest rates rising And money is tight And if you don't spend it Well it just might Burn a hole in your pocket Make you see stars And in the night Turn loose the rockets Of love from afar 40: (1992) The Lines It's so hard at times to write the lines To lay the thoughts down on the page There is ink and enough to spare and yet For some reason it doesn't want to risk running dry I have heard it called a block but at times It seems more like restraining chains Arresting the motion of the arm and the working of the brain And you my friend, can you always find the notes Can you string them on the lines to find the melody A thought is passed from mind to mind and then Begins the search to find the music that's Between the lines, that stirs our souls and sets our minds On fire Yes it's hard at times to write the lines The words are afraid to break out of their shells And begin their lives, take their first steps Out amoung the thoughts that roam the world And you my friend, play the notes and help me find The words to join and make my lines It's so hard at times to write the lines To lay the thoughts down on the page 41: (1990s?)

display And though you try and try You never catch a glimpse Of that girl's secret life And so you drag and limp From day to weary day And through your endless nights ---------- Don't want to leave (Don't wanna leave) On a down bound train Don't want to leave (Don't wanna leave) Don't want to leave for the fire Just want to go (Just wanna go) Where it's cool and bright Just want to go (Just wanna go) High and higher We got to leave (We gotta leave) When it's time to go We got to leave (We gotta leave) Heed the crier ---------- There was a time in the past When I thought I was made to last But now I find that I'm falling apart When I examine my seams All I find is faded dreams And the pieces of my broken heart ---------- That's not the meaning of this song That's not the meaning of this song It's not a love song It's not dedicatged to you I don't care what you do I don't care what you say I wrote these words for myself I'm gonna sing them every day ---------- Cyndi Lauper ate my homework Meatloaf says he saw her chewing I had some kinks in my back ---------- The hands of time are tied behind your back You try to run but circles bring you back To where you've been and you're slower Each time around ---------- Well I was standing on the corner Of five and dime Picking up the pennies Of the past I left behind Counting all the memories And the dreams I hope to find If I could catch you leaving him Just one last time Standing on the corner Of five and dime ---------- I met her in summer school Man you know I was a fool I let her get away When the autumn rolled around ---------- Well I can't understand Why you do the things you do You tear me up inside And I'm always halfway blue I tried and I'm trying But I can't get over you Girl can you explain Why you do the

your heart I'm stuck in the middle I'm stuck in the middle I been trying for so long I been trying to leave you girl But you're confusing my poor heart You make me crazy and wont let go I don't know why that you do it Just the way that you do-oo-oo I'm stuck in the middle I'm stuck in the middle with you Nights are so long Nights when I cry You are so wrong You wont let go Nights are so long

Dollar Song I was looking for One Honest Heart, thought I would Save The Best for Last but you were all like, "Let’s Wait Awhile". I was going through Different People, each time thinking I was One Step Closer, thinking Possession is nine tenths of the law. Iris was Hella Good even if I did have to throw out the baby with the Bathwater when she left me Cryin' in the November Rain. I heard Somebody say "Here We Are, Welcome to the Jungle!" So I shouted out, "Run Baby Run! The Rhythm is Gonna Get You! It's Coming Out of The Dark!" We were Faithfully Building a mystery but I was a Basket Case and then you said, "Don’t Stop Believin', Pour Some Sugar on Me!" These days it's just Bills, Bills, Bills, Now and Forever.

you's frustration That I don't need anymore I just keep on trying and you just keep on lying And I can't leave by the door ---------- We were sitting down by the bay A cool and clear sweet sunny day Now you ask well I have to say Yes this song is really quite cliche When I'm with you my words run dry Heart fills up and I sometimes cry Yes I will love you girl by and by But just not the way That you want me to in the night I keep trying but can't get it right All you do is whet my appetite ---------- I drove a bridge out to forever Where the beach was made of time And by the salty shore I dreamed once more That I could find The perfect lime ---------- Come on baby give me good love Cause good love is what I like Come on baby give me true love Cause true love makes it right Come on baby give me new love New lovin every night Come on baby want no blue love Cause red love is all alright ---------- Gonna rock this house tonight Ya gonna do it baby do it right Shakin and bakin builds an Appetite Let's rock this house tonight Baby gonna rock this house tonight ---------- Well I am just a lonely boy Living in a lonely lonely world And I don't need no inspiration To love a lonely girl

baby forever Even if its just for tonight Love me down by the ocean I'll try not to put up a fight When you take me to the water ---------- Country girls Living in the city Crying tears So salty and gritty There's some boys Back home that they're missing Country boys They surely ain't kissing Except in dreams They dream in the night time When they dream Salty dreams filles with fresh limes ---------- Well I was (been) living in New England With a girl named Mary Jane And she almost said she loved me As she took off in her plane Disappeared into the sunset Somewhere in the West And I never saw here anymore But I guess it's for the best Cause love it don't mean nothing If it aint gonna last Concentrate on my future Forget my burning past ---------- Shut down and love it You can't rise above it You just push and shove it Until you die ---------- That girl is delicious She fills all my wishes And there's no denying I'll never stop trying And she takes me flying Out over the waves and That sweet pink and gold sand She says that she loves me That I am her strong man ---------- Hey this is Sellout Central We got potential We ganna make the big time Drive fancy cars Hang out with Lars Drink Casa, Coke and good limes ---------- She's just a young fairy tale Teller And you could wind up in jail Fella If you follow her sail Whether Or not you love her Cause the deceit that she has Inside her ---------- I got a Casey jones I got a Casey jones I got a Casey jones Man I gotta get home Feed my Casey jones I got the Casey blues I got the Casey blues I got the Casey blues Man

There's gotta be Something better for me It's plain to see There's gotta be Something better, something better for me It's plain to see (It's plain to see) There's gotta be (There's gotta be) Something better, something better for me Something better for me Something better for me Something better, something better for me ---------- I am feeling worse than ever But so much better than

don't wanna be the one who falls hard from your lucky star But sometimes girl You rock my world You turn my head around Ten seconds flat Imagine that You're gone without a sound ---------- If it feels good don't do it It'll only blow your mind If she looks good don't do it (don't like this line) She'll leave you far behind But if she is good hop to it That train runs right on time

give it all up to you I couldn't take you down town, turn myself around And do it up like you do ---------- You be my facebook friend I'll love you to the end I cannot quite pretend You love me too ---------- Down By The Sea She woke me In the early morning And she took me Down by the shore Then she told me About a strange occurrence With a bottle That she had before She told me About smoke and mirrors And the magic Of a lover's kiss Though I wanted To test her theories When I tried to I always missed She told me About needs and wants And she warned me About an open door I didn't listen Thought she was pouting See me lying Crying on the floor I needed Her true devotion And I wanted So much more But she said boy My dreams are shattered See them lying By the shore Now the summer Breeze is blowing And the waves crash To the shore Now my heart churns In the foam as The under Tow takes hold And I remembered When we were younger How we used to Run that shore Feeling special And our hearts were pumping With our dreams laid Out before us She took my Hand in hers and She looked deep Down in my soul Said she saw things Sad and blue Like the water So salt and cold ---------- Gotta keep my mind on my woman Gotta keep my mind on my woman Gotta keep my mind on my woman All day long All day long Gonna spend my time with my woman Gonna spend my time with my woman Gonna spend my time with my woman All night long All night long She's so fine, she's my woman She's so fine, she's my woman She's so fine, she's my woman Love grows strong Love grows strong ---------- She took me to the bottom And she held me down Those bubbles rising up they Hardly made a sound ---------- I could never love you Living right above you Doing things you want to Do on Friday night ----------

---------- Burning it up I'm burning it up Burning it up I'm burning it up It's never enough No never enough It's never enough No never enough Building her up I'm building her up Building her up I'm building her up It's never enough No never enough It's never enough No never enough Running me down She's running me down Running me down She's running me down I'm never enough No never enough I'm never enough No never enough Tearing it down I'm tearing it down Tearing it down I'm tearing it down Enough is enough Yeah enough is enough Enough is enough Yeah enough is enough ---------- I was born on the wild side Of the wrong side of town I went roaming to the far side Climbing up heading down ---------- She was stuck in the middle With a rainbow on her right Though I don't know what that thing was Standing by her left hand Well I think I saw it once A long time ago In the middle of a nightmare I had as a boy It stood in the shadows With the bright sunshine upon it Red eyes glowing brightly From that cold, misty dark She reminded me of Texas Across the street from Joske's Where something famous happened A long time ago I opened my mouth But the words that left were silent And I felt her breath upon my mind And those eyes upon my heart I turned my back upon her And headed for the levee I knew I needed water To cool my burning head I heard the sound of footsteps Drawing ever closer I could not escape them No matter how I ran Now I'm floating to the ocean Looking at the blue sky Never to remember What it is that I forgot ---------- Rock Traffic Blues (I intend to do this as a spoken word piece but if anyone can think of a tune for it, I will gladly entertain a song version) Go ahead! Let them all out I have nowhere to go And nothing to do at work Why not stop a while and talk To your friend beside the road This road is all yours For miles in every way Hey try turning left from the right lane It's a whole lot of fun You wouldn't want to miss out before your time is up Go ahead and stick your nose out In my lane while I'm not waiting I could use the excitement To stir my morning up Why not turn right from the left lane It's a whole lot more fun Than left from the right Would I steer you wrong? Could you stand a little longer In my lane as I'm driving I want to see what happens Your butt's got the bumpers not my car Wow! I love that tune. Could you double the volume to 22 Oh and boost the bass a bit Let's see Green means go Yellow means caution slow down Red means stop So flashing red and yellow means stop carefully Flashing green and yellow means go carefully But flashing red and green What stop AND go Hey bro Walk a little slower Your theory that a car isn't there and therefor can't hit you If you are not looking at it Has been scientifically proven You are totally safe Hey No problem Looking down and texting While walking across a busy street Has been proven to be safe Man I'm glad to see you finally digging up this read It has been smooth for much too long now hasn't it Do me a favour though Next time don't be so slack and leave it smooth so long (more to come) ---------- V0 Get dressed in black leather Crank it up to 9 The parties on So let the night Cover you in rhymes You can't win by losing So make your move on time Don't jump the gun Don't wait too late That woman's much too fine Chorus Breathing in the water And dancing with the daughter Of a man who left this place such a long time ago What did he know Finally got to meet her With the help of old greeter And you don't know why your pressing gas you just want it slow Does it all show V1 She's got expectations And diamonds on her toes So pop the top Give her a taste Of roses for her nose Other boys don't see it They're chasing other girls But she's the one For you my friend So let your heart unfurl V2 Set sail for the islands Of sultry love tonight A little kiss A gentle touch And things could work out right Love can't last forever You've always been told But take a chance On this romance Or you may never know ---------- I been running forever Now I'm falling apart Now it seems My tangerine dreams Are keeping me up in the dark Get outside in the open Look right up to the sky See the moon Longing for June See the man starting to cry I don't know where I'm going Can't recall where I've been Some folks say I shouldn't have tried Some just say it's a sin I gotta keep myself moving Can't afford to look back I don't have All that much anymore Lost my one memory sack -- I been running forever Now I'm falling apart I been buying you things Like blue diamond rings Now I sit alone in the dark I don't know what I've been doing Since you left me in June I sit there alone One the porch every night Maybe I should howl at the moon If it would make me feel better I'd howl through evey night And I'd track you down Baby all over town If only things would work out allright But I know that aint happening baby And I know I don't stand a chance But if I only could Then I surely would Relight this dying romance ---------- A Girl Named Sue Listen while I tell you bout a girl named Sue She stole my heart and she left me blue She chewed it up and then she spit it out Left me a mess there aint any doubt My heart's broke My mind's unglued Listen now She'll do the same to you Next I wanna tell you bout Mary Ann Long and lean with a golden tan Hair jet black and eyes of blue Lit my fire then away she flew My heart's broke My mind's unglued Listen now She'll do the same to you I probly ought to tell you bout Caroline She had me going for quite some time Made me think that her heart was true Then she snuck on out man I'm tellin you My heart's broke My mind's unglued Listen now She'll do the same to you Now the moral of my story should be plain to you I thought I knew it but I got no clue I keep making the same mistakes every time Now I'm down to my last thin dime (Got to change while I'm still in my prime) (I aint fooling it's a major crime) My heart's broke My mind's unglued Listen now She'll do the same to you ---------- I forgot To remember What love was And I forgot To remember My dreams I spent the night All alone On an island Washed up Like all my Best dreams I forgot To remember What love was And I forgot To remember My dreams I spent the night All alone With a woman Who wasn't there Cause she was one of My dreams I forgot To remember What love was And I forgot To remember My dreams I sat alone On a beach As the tide left Like my plans Like my loves Like my dreams I forgot To remember What love was And I forgot To remember My dreams ---------- You got ideas and commitments But they been sung about before You got ideas but intermittent You got windows and open doors You got dreams and aspirations But you need your daily bread So you lock up your desires And you go to work instead Hey take another shot at your future Take another run at your goals The time is now so get up and do it Don't wait till you're growing cold You got sunshine you got shadows But they're playing in the sand You got women pretty women So you're trying to be a man You got evening you got morning You got darkness you got light You got women pretty women So you're trying to get it right So take another shot at your future Take another run at your goals The time is now so get up and do it Don't wait till you're growing cold ---------- Going upstairs to the bowling alley Gonna roll myself some lines Bring your big hooks or your Brooklyns baby Bring your nickles and your dimes Stick em in the old style pinballs baby Play a couple games of pool Then roll yourself a few more lines now baby In your stinky rental shoes I got my auntie's old pink polka dot ball And the thing is just right in style But if it gets me just one more strike well baby It's better than a country mile ---------- I was living on a downtown train With not enough love and too much rain Flooding into my life but I didn't complain ---------- First you came along Acting like a queen Acting like you knew Just how to live between And the days would last forever At least those in my dreams And I've got to tell you baby Forever's longer than it seems When you're sitting all alone On a dock beside a bay Trying to make somebody love you In some tired old fashioned way ---------- Sometimes I wonder Just what I'm doing here And I sit and watch the moonlight In the waves and in your hair I smile a little smile But I'm holding back my tears Sometimes I wonder Just what I'm doing here ---------- It's four in the morning The michelob maniacs Are gunning for you You can't get your mojo back You tried real hard But your money's leaking from the sack It's four in the morning The michelob maniacs ---------- Possiblte lyrics for this track: http://kompoz.com/t/73766 Somewhere deep within a midnight You cried for a better man Somewhere deep within a heartache I lost all I ever loved I lost you Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry Kept on drinking water till the well ran dry or She took me to the water but the well was dry etc. Then one night before the moon rose You left on the falling tide Closed my only door One upon another I then piled All my dreams upon the cold floor Burned them to the bitter ground Lonely me Aching, my heart is aching Breaking, my heart is breaking Taken, why have you taken it all from me Hey girl, why did you leave me No way girl, I don't believe you Please stay girl, you mean the whole world to me Please stay ---------- I don't need you in the morning Cause you'll leave me feeling blue And I don't need you in the moonlight Cause there's only room for two I got plans and I got angles Yeah you got curves but not enough I'm just a sometime simple man I don't do your fancy stuff ---------- ... He rolled with the stars But he didn't care about their reputations About their money or cars Cause he had skies as blue as the rich boys And his heart beat just as hard No he didn't care about their reputations About their money or cars Cause he had a woman who loved him better Said "Boy I love you just as you are!" ---------- You were young and beautiful Now you're old and miserable What happened to you girl Down through the years I remember sitting out On wooden benches after school Talking teenage foolishness Thinking we were cool I knew I could kiss your friend If I only asked her to But your lips were on my mind And I was too afraid Then came graduation day And my poor heart was blown away When I saw you with that boy From another school I found a job on a fishin boat And tried to make a simple life You moved away for college and You never came back home I searched for love for years and years But it never worked out right So I sometimes thought of you Late in my quite nights I heard that you had settled down To a quiet life of rock and roll With the front man for a band That made it big I'm told Now I see you sitting here A face that's painted with despair My heart wants to comfort you But I don't know how ---------- ----------------------- lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Mar 10 I tried to love you baby like you wanted me to But you drained my heart and you left me blue Fired up your tongue then you cut me in two ---------- ----------------------- lyrics and pieces of lyrics by drew Roberts Apr 10 possibly for: http://kompoz.com/t/79298 Let's go out and burn your money I don't want to spend it honey Captain says the day's so sunny We should go and burn your money ---------- Well here I go baby Breakin all your rules Like take it slow Maybe don't suffer fools Careful what you do and Watch what you say I break 'em all baby Each and every day 'Cause when it comes to you girl True love will find a way Yes when it comes to you girl My love will find a way ---------- I lost my vinyl grooves When a hurricane came to town I was away on vacation The poor things mostly drowned Came back to a mighty drip Black mold was going strong Kitchen floor had rusty spots Most everything was gone Moved out on that very day I Never did move back Insurance man put up a fight For a year before the crack ---------- Listen to my warning about Mary Lou A pretty peach from Georgia but she Sings the Blues Nothing ever pleases her so How do you Ever hope to make it big with Mary Lou yeah How can you ever make it big with Mary Lou ---------- It's all well and good To hope and dream But what's to be done When the practicalities Do not permit the hopes To become reality ---------- You're just not my style baby You're just not my style I could love you for a while baby But you're just not my style I could take you to the park baby But you're just not my style Walk you home after dark baby But you're just not my style You're just not my style baby You're just not my style I could love you for a while baby But you're just not my style ---------- Well I got me a big dog that I call Bill Smaller than a mountain and smaller than a hill But bigger than a house Mister if you will Believe a tall tale about a dog named Bill Well he can hunt jakalope from dawn till dusk Catch himself a yeti driving a school bus Loch Ness Monster better run and hide Cause my dog Bill likes to hunt the tide ---------- I've been conniving All night long And I've been contriving To get you alone Somewhere baby So I can make a move But now this rhythm Has got me in a groove And I can't stop dancing No matter how I try Up on this dance floor While time is slipping by ---------- Come on and tell me a whopper baby Tell me that you'll never leave Come on and tell me a sweet one baby That you're wearing your heart on your sleeve Then come on and tell me the big one baby That you're only just friends with Steve Yes come on and tell me a whopper baby Tell me that you'll never leave ---------- Well I been saving for another rainy day But now it seems The rain just up and ran away Since you came To the club last week to sing About... ----------

restaurant Had dinner, desert, and two drinks ---------- She's a jet set woman She can't settle down She'll turn a man on With a smile or a frown She'll take his heart Burn it right to the ground Yeah

make this thing a better song Cause the Celtics game was on I was looking for a perfect bridge But commercials and A dash to the fridge Resulted in a quick trip to the throne Got in the way of my better song Cause the Celtics game was on There's Rondo and he's on the move He's on fire and lookin good Seems tonight he is in the groove Moving easy and oh so smooth Watch the pass now behind the back Oops no it's a layup jack Allen and Pierce on fire tonight Kevin is a beast in the east that's right Perkins and Big Baby are banging alright And Rasheed is ready if you No you don't really wanna

Is shining down You took my heart And burned it down Put out the fire Upon the ground Why'd you do it Miss Wanda please Explain to me I'm on my knees Walking on the dark side of town Me and the lovely Miss Mary Brown The night is silent Hardly a sound The moon above Is shining down But you took my heart You burned it down Put out the fire Upon the ground Put out the fire --- Walking on the hot side of town Me and the sultry Miss Wanda Brown The night is hopping To the sounds The stars above Are raining down But you took my heart You burned it down Put out the fire Upon the ground Put out the fire --- Walking on the far side of town Me and the sassy Miss Suzy Brown The night is shining Alive with sound The sky above Is floating down You took my heart And burned it down Put out the fire Upon the ground Why'd you do it Miss Lucy please Explain to me I'm on my knees Walking on the far side of town Me and the sassy Miss Suzy Brown The night is shining Alive with sound The sky above Is floating down But you took my heart You burned it down Put out the fire Upon the ground Put out the Walking on the dark side of town Me and the lovely Miss Mary Brown The night is quiet Hardly a sound The moon above Is shining down But you took my heart You burned it down Put out the fire Upon the ground Put out the fire ---------- She likes Rock and Roll Saxophone She blows it hot when no one's home She wears me right down to the bone With her Rock and Roll Saxophone Cause I'm up all night but all alone With her Rock and Roll Saxophone Can't stop moving to the tones Of her Rock and Roll Saxophone ---------- I went walking on the wrong side of town In a little juke joint I put my money down I said set em up Jack let's have a round For everyone here who's feeling... All break up like me For everyone here who's feeling... All break up like me She walked on in and to my surprise She looked right through me with her bedroom eyes Said listen here mister I apologize For all the things I never did... To you For all the things I never did... To you Well I'd never seen that woman before But I knew just when she came in the door And my jaw just sort of hit the floor That I'd never let her out of my... Dreams till I die That I'd never let her out of my... Dreams till I die Just then a man six foot ten Silenced the room just by walking in Moved up to her and gave her a spin ---------- Don't Rave In My Parade ---------- Let her be what she wants to be As she sits all alone On the dock in the evening When her joy just wont come home He stays out late every night Wears his fingers to the bone On the steel of his six string While his poor heart aches and moans For a girl that he lost So very long ago Now he's afraid to speak and tell her So he just stays away from home As the night fades to a bleak dawn She gets up stiff and cold Makes her way into the still house And puts the water on Brews a hurting cup of green tea While she ignores the phone ----------
