1. RADAR LOVE

I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love


2. SHE FLIES ON STRANGE WINGS (PART ONE)

Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting this Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips, yeah

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
'Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her
On my mutilated wings
But all the blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange....


3. INSTANT POETRY

Washing machine, space age dream
Let me serve you, keep me clean
Rinse me plain, spin me sane
I'll trust my dirt to only you

Automobile, see me kneel
I'll scrub your back, I'll buy your meal
I'll choke your start, I'll warm your heart
I'll dream of dying just with you
See me wish from 8 to all day long
Got no time, not inclined to hum a song
Just like a robot waiting for a fuse
I'm too crazy to even have the blues

Instant, instant, instant poetry
Too hot, to be continued next week
Instant, instant, instant poetry
Too slow, too slow, to be tongue-in-cheek

TV syndrome, holy custom
Millions squeeze you to their bosom
You're always welcome, drive out boredom
You're one eye's all the art we need
See me wish from 8 to all day long
Got no time, not inclined to hum a song
Just like a robot waiting for a fuse
I'm too crazy to even have the blues

Instant, instant, instant poetry
Too hot, to be continued next week
Instant, instant, instant poetry
Too slow, too slow, to be tongue-in-cheek


4. CE SOIR

Remember that song called "Kill me"
From Vick Timm's last LP
Too much of a risk
For a golden disc
The price he paid for money

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Sing your song,
You can't go wrong
Attempted his business adviser
No need for alarm
You'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

The news is read, the meaning spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie, bonne nuit

Remember that song called "Kill Me"
A lecture on political chicanery
Of people's rape
Recorded on tape
Bought shame to the presidency

Tonight, tonight
One more point for human right
Remember that song "Kill Me"
Once used by a man from Galilee
He had nothin' to lose
He was king of the Jews
Secured his place in history

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur
The news is read, the voice is spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Vick played the part,
With all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead
Bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star


5. MOVIN' DOWN LIFE

Fast Flo paints her nails and she looks bored
So far nothing scored
Where she comes from, people take it nice and slow
That's all it takes, you know

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin', movin' down life

Truck Stop Ben thinks everybody else is a fool
That's why he dropped out of school
He drops them bennies and he sticks to the white line
I say he's doing fine

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin' movin' down life

No one knows where the river starts or where it goes
But jumping in and leaving my clothes

Movin' down life, one day or another
Movin' down life. movin' with each other
Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other


6. BOMBAY

Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom, somewhere, anywhere in L.A.
Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me, I'm on my way back to Bombay

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay

I'm gonna trade my past
For a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast
If I die, Kamasutra's the reason why
Kama, kama, kama, kamasutra,
Kama, kama, I surrender

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Ain't gonna leave no trace
Gonna wash away my face
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay

Bombay, Bombay....


7. WEEKEND LOVE

The sooner it will be the better
Gonna have to see you right away
It's been a long time since the day I met her
I can't handle being without her one more day
Gonna get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliché's
You better hurry up Baby, I ain't lying
We're down to nothing but a waste of time
Still remember everything she said
Make no promises and make no debts
All I want is just a one day weekend love

She sips her wine without a flinching
She's in control of it all the way
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no promises and make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love


8. SLEEPWALKIN'

Last night's blind date
Hit me like a hand grenade
Blew holes in my soul
I'm on a love crusade

Wore my loves like a pair of gloves
But this time I'm going straight'
Cause I never felt this strange
I'm supposed to be skilled at the game
So once again it goes to show
You'll fall into the trap of love bow
Before you know

Sleepwalkin', but don't panic
We're on the Titanic
But don't you try to call my bluff
Both eyes shut travels hard enough

Sleepwalkin', don't panic
We're on the Titanic
Across the bridges 'round the poop
A fire escape won't hesitate

She's floating there, a living jewel
A gem that makes me lose my cool
It's no surprise I'm paralyzed
This vision's got me hypnotized
Remember your princely duty
Rescue that sleepin' beauty
And I never felt this strange
I'm supposed to be skilled at the game
So once again it goes to show
You'll fall into the trap of love bow
Before you know

Sleepwalkin', but don't panic
We're on the Titanic
But don't you try to call my bluff
With both eyes shut, travels hard enough

Sleepwalkin', don't panic
We're on the Titanic
Sleepwalkin', sleepwalkin'
Sleepwalkin', sleepwalkin'


9. AGAINST THE GRAIN

Once I dreamt I was falling, like a feather from a tree
The welcoming committee cheered, must have been a sight to see
Right there in the middle of a sweaty night in Rome
Someone showed a million feathers, how to be a bird on their own
Though we never got to flyin', I was woken by the phone

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain

Once I thought I was flyin', had a taste of the witches seed
Got me so excited, couldn't get back on my feet
Then without a warning, soft whisper in my ear
If you feel like playin' honey, let's go get out of here
But we never got to playin', 'cause I passed out, out of fear

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain


10. I DO ROCK 'N ROLL

I do rock 'n roll...
Can't help it, can't fight it
Nothing I can do without it
Can't help it , can't fight it
Nothing I can do without it

You're sorry you met me
Tomorrow you miss me
Tomorrow I'll kiss you goodbye
You're sorry you met me
Tomorrow you miss me
Tomorrow I'll kiss you goodbye
You can tell me why, tell me why

I do rock 'n roll...
You're sorry you met me
Tomorrow you miss me
Tomorrow I'll kiss you goodbye
You can tell me why , tell me why

I do rock 'n roll...Show me
Anything that you wanna do
We'll do it tonight, all night
Anything that you wanna do
It's all for you
You're sorry you met me
Tomorrow you miss me
Tomorrow I'll kiss you goodbye


11. LONG BLOND ANIMAL

Get out of my parlour, won't you
Get out of my life
Put on that crazy raincoat
You're gonna need it tonight

Get out of my parlour
For I cut you with a knife
Don't want your disease
Don't need your silly jive

I was an innocent by-stander
I was middle of the roadman for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good looking lady
A mistake I won't make no more
'Cause you might be a good-looking lady
You're rotten to the core
You're all fucked up

I've been under your influence
Under your spell too long
Now people keep me at a distance
Everything I do is wrong
My brain's disintegrating
Devil's singing my song
This cannot continue
This cannot go on
You're nothing but a long blond animal


12. NO FOR AN ANSWER

Hey operator, get me Valerie on the phone
Hey operator, I want Valerie on the phone right now
Mister navigator, I want location exact
Of where my Valerie's at
I see dials turnin'
I see a lighthouse burning
Nothin' happenin' yet, nothin' happenin' so far

Revelator, do your thing for me
Divine oracle, do your thing for me and my gal
I've been around the world

Yeah, hey operator, what's that you said to me
Hey operator, you can't say that to me
I see dials turnin'
I see a lighthouse burning
Nothin' happenin' yet, nothin' happenin' so far
I won't take no for an answer
Valerie is gonna say yes to me
Sweet, sweet Valerie,
She's gonna say yes to me
