1. TWO WAY TRAFFIC

Work work fizzy busy bang bang
Twenty-five hours a day
Feels like working on a chain gang
And never seems to get away
Money to burn, money to burn
A black noon call for show
Where does it go, how should I know?

And it's two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out

Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street

Superman, where are you?
We need you to pave the way
Feels like an alien invasion
Trouble coming everyday
War of the worlds
You get the girl
They really don't
Sound that mad
Fighting the snow
Way to go

And it's two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out

Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street

And it's two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out

Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat
The two way traffic on a one way street

Two way traffic
On a one way street
All the voices in the air
Are stuck on repeat
It's a two-horse race
In a one-horse town
Like a house of cards
It's gonna fall down
War plays out
Getting ready to rumble
Survival of the fittest
The law of the jungle
Fold back, hold back
Get yourself a seat

The two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street
Two way traffic on a one way street

A hole in my shoe and my old guitar

3. DUST TO GOLD

We know you're watching over us
The job you took for better or worse
Dying in the scene from the burning cold
You turned this desert from dust to gold

Someone was born to be a beauty king
All ripping muscles when his sun-kissed skin
And getting paid for the shape I'm in
God's gift to women and I knew it then

I love to sting them like a butterfly
I used to kill them for the natural high
A real hoot, such a crazy guy
Another shooter hold me out to dry

Suddenly the blind man can see
Suddenly the force is with me
Oh Lord, to have, to hold
like dust to gold

You wouldn't ever wanna treat with me
A belt fasten and a downhill ski
No-one would touch me with a ten foot pin
'cos there was no telling where I'd been

A multi-national waste of space
By five o' clock I will be off of my face
Without a single litlte saving grace
And yet you call me for the human race

Suddenly the blind man can see
Suddenly the force is with me
Oh Lord, to have, to hold
Like dust to gold

We know you're watching over us
The job you took for better or worse
Dying in the scene from the burning cold
You turned this desert from dust to gold

Suddenly the blind man can see
Suddenly the force is with me
Oh Lord, to have, to hold
Like dust to gold
With me oh Lord, to have, to hold

Like dust to gold
Like dust to gold
Like dust to gold
Like dust to gold
Like dust to gold


4. LET'S ROCK

Calling out to anyone who wants to know
We're ready for the road it's nearly time to go
Rocking 'round the world like a band on the run

5. CAN'T SEE FOR LOOKING

Welcome back in town
I hear that you are available
Did anybody tell you lately
That you're delectable?
Everywhere I turn
It seems like you are all I see
I swear that we have
Total compatability
What do I have to do
To get you alone with me?
It's written in the stars
That I will always be with you
I don't care whatever it takes
Whatever I have to do

You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking

I am your prime number
The one that you need to, me
I am the magic drink
You never got to drink
It's written in the stars
That you will always be with me
One word in your head baby
Confidentially

You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking

Unlock your freezing door
'cos I can't stand the heat
We should be walking on
The bright side of the street
It's written in the stars
That I will always be with you
I don't care whatever it takes
Whatever I have to do

You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking

You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking
You just can't see for looking


6. BETTER THAN THAT

Home is bringing you back
That feeling is back
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that

While I'm in for the ride
while I'm hangin on in
You ain't got nothing to hide
Yet you fly through the line
I have a dream what somebody said
And now I'm waiting, waiting

Oh we're bringing it back
The feeling is back
Like mama said the other day
But better than that
We're bringing it back
We're bringing it back
You know it could be something good
But better than that
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that

Getting ready to go
No waiting around
I wanna tell you something I know
Simplify, demystify you know
It's all been there all along
But now I'm waiting, waiting

Oh we're bringing it back
The feeling is back
Like mama said the other day
But better than that
We're bringing it back
We're bringing it back
You know it could be something good
But better than that
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that

So now that you know
And taken it in
And it'll feel like living I know
It's flying high, my oh my
And when this song has
Come to an end
F'll be waiting, waiting

We;ll be bringing it back
The feeling is back
Like mama said the other day
But better than that
We're bringing it back
We're bringing it back
You know it could be something good
But better than that
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that

We're bringing it back
The feeling is back
Like mama said the other day
But better than that
We're bringing it back
We're bringing it back
You know it could be something good
But better than that
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that
All over the world
It's gonna be a remedy
But better than that


7. MOVIN' ON

It's been so long since I met you
Never leaving you alone
I bet you thought "it's going nowhere,
I could do this on my own"

But it doesn't really matter
Who is right or who is wrong
Just as long as we're together
And we keep it movin' on

More, more, more
Sure I'm sure I'm movin' on (I'm movin' on)
Short for a show
I'm through the door, I'm movin' on
(movin' on, movin' on)

Don't make mountains out of molehills
Don't look down on someone else
Don't take anything for granted
Now to you and no-one else

Ain't no use in compromising
Let it out and let it go
If someone says they got your number
Well there's something they don't know

More, more, more
Sure I'm sure I'm movin' on (I'm movin' on)
Short for a show
I'm through the door, I'm movin' on
(movin' on, movin' on)

Now you know just how I'm feeling
How I need to get along
Guess there's something I should tell you
There is really nothing wrong

More, more, more
Sure I'm sure I'm movin' on (I'm movin' on)
Short for a show
I'm through the door, I'm movin' on
(movin' on, movin' on)


8. LEAVE A LITTLE LIGHT ON

Remember back, when you were young
Your mother said "that's quite enough"
So sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite
Goodnight my child

You didn't know true or false
The star is heard when the darkness falls
And under your door, creatures would squeeze
And you always had to shout "Mama please..."

Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me

So in love, couldn't ask for more
A hungry romance hey, you know the score
It was destiny, we had to meet
And I could hardly walk for one whole week

Coming up, she looked outta town
Miles from nowhere, broken down
In the wind and rain lost without a clue
Searching for a phone so I could tell her too

Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
leave a little light on for me

When I get old, it's time to go
What body and ailments
Still playing shows
I'll be safe and sound for eternity
So Mr God, when you're ready for me

Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me

Leave a little light on,
Alittle light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
A little light on
Leave a little light on for me


9. ANIWAY YOU LIKE IT

Any way you like it
Is the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
That's a guarantee

I've had my way so many times
I always got to choose
For me to win this loving game
I always had to lose
Now it's black and white, night and day
And it's always up to you

Any way you like it
Is the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
That's a guarantee

You set it up
you make the rules
You've got the final say
And what you say is cool

Any way you like it
Is the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
That's a guarantee

I mend your will into my own
And see my way to go
I've no desire to compromise
But these days I just don't know
I've fallen for the star return
She that runs the show

Any way you like it
The way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
That's a guarantee

You make the place
you place the bets
You get to roll the dice
And it sure isn't it

Any way you like it
The way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
That's a guarantee

Any way you like it
Any way you like it
Any way you like it
Any way you like it fade


10.FROZEN HERO

Another night, another night
Another night with the the big fat zero
Another night, another night
Another night for the frozen hero

It's getting tight, it's getting tight
It's getting tight for the mis-fit no-no
You gotta light, give me a lucky light
You got a light for the midnight promo

Another night down in the hole
With all the weirdos
Another day, day in the life
Of a hero

'cos we're up there beggin'
Over down here rotting in a hole
Do they call this living
Do they call this rock and roll
They say it's well good money
But it just don't feed the soul
My soul

I get a fright, I get a fright
And every hour is a nightmare daydream
I gotta hide, I gotta hide
I gotta hide in the human smokescreen

It isn't right, it ain't right
It isn't right that it's all in my face
Another fight, another bloody fight
Another fight it's an urban rat-race

Down at the tube, stuck in the queue
Here at the station
What might he do,
How could you change the situation

'cos we're up there beggin'
Over down here rotting in a hole
Do they call this living
Do they call this rock and roll
(call this rock and roll)
They say it's well good money
But it just don't feed the soul
My soul

Another night, it isn't right
Another night for the big fat zero
It's getting tight, awful tight
It's getting tight for the mis-fit no-no

You got a light, give me a light
You got a light for the midnight hobo
Another night, another freaking night
Another night for the frozen hero

Another night down in the hole
With all the weirdos
Another day, day in the life
Of a hero

'cos we're up there beggin'
Over down here rotting in a hole
Do they call this living
Do they call this rock and roll
(call this rock and roll)
They say it's well good money
But it just don't feed the soul
My soul


11. REALITY CHEQUE

You're stalling on this you got nothing on me
now we only got history
I'm playing my cards with an unmarked deck
cashing in my chips with a reality cheque
Cashing in my chips with a reality cheque

Could have had everything but you're moving on
Now you will know a lot of nothing at all
Before I turn into a nervous wreck
I'm paying my bill with a reality cheque
I'm paying my bill with a reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque

There's nothing worse than a woman scorned
I'm telling you baby, you're ill informed
Lucky for you I'm not feeling mad
Believe I specialise in being bad

You're stalling on this you got nothing on me
Now we only got history
I'm playing my cards with an unmarked deck
Cashing in my chips with a reality cheque
Cashing in my chips with a reality cheque

I sold your clothes and I cancelled your cards
I changed the lock on the house and the car
And didn't I tell you, the diamonds are fake
I must admit, that's the icing on the cake

It wasn't me that got you into this mess
I wanted to try and make it all a success
But now you're hanging on around my neck
Shaking you off with a reality cheque
Shaking you off with a reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque
With a fat reality cheque

Paying my bill with a reality cheque
Paying my bill with a reality cheque
Paying my bill with a reality cheque


12. THE WINNER

You've finally made it, a winner
For all of the world to see
A long time caught in the winter
Is worth all the pain
Nothing comes easy you know-one
Can take it away from you
'cos when you're a winner
You know you can do it all over again

Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that
Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that

There's something about you that tells us
You're gonna go all the way
We knew it was coming, a winner
Right from the start
No need to feel lonely
That's only a natural part of you
'cos when you're a winner
You know you can do it with all of your heart

Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that
Yeah, you can't do no better
Yeah, no better than that


13. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU

I'm standing in a crowd on a one way street
See me howling at the moon
I can't decide to park or ride
I never know what the hell to do

Can't be going slow, better make a move
I better show I'm in, no time to lose
Woah, it looks like nothing I can do

And I remember what you said
Back in December, it messed my head
And every day, in every way
It's all about you

I've been in a strange place for someone new
It doesn't make me feel so good
I can't hide the hurt inside
I never knew it could be this way

I musn't let it show, keep it to myself
No-one really cares I'm with someone else
Woah, it looks like nothing I can do

And I remember what you said
Back in December, it messed my head
And every day, in every way
It's all about you

I musn't let it show, keep it to myself
No-one really cares I'm with someone else
Woah, it looks like nothing I can do

And I remember what you said
Back in December, it messed my head
And every day, in every way
Oh I remember when we met
And we surrender, we soon forget
And every day, in every way
It's all about you


14. MY OLD WAYS

A lotta love, a lotta luck
And you and me it seems
Will always be together
It took a while, a little smile
In the good times, bad times
Any kind of weather

It doesn't matter what the funny people said
All that matters is the trouble up ahead
I didn't ever see it come into the way
The Sunday papers as I'm lying in my bed

Why why why
Why couldn't we see
My old ways
Keep troubling me

I gotta look, I wanna see
And if the heebee jeebees
Have it all together
I caught a bug and you believe
You know the Bee Gees
Said it wasn't very clever

Another day, another night, another call
Another way, another fight, another brawl
It doesn't matter 'cos I know we've got it all
Another day, another shop, another mall

Why why why
Why couldn't we see
My old ways
Keep troubling me

It doesn't matter what the funny people said
All that matters is the trouble up ahead
I didn't ever see it come into the way
The Sunday papers as I'm lying in my bed

Why why why
Why couldn't we see
My old ways
Keep troubling me


15. IN THE ARMY NOW

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftsman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergeant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now
