1. HARD BEING ME



Can you hear me
We ain't about to quit boy
The bands back in town, alright
And you can all juice off

Show me a mountain, show me the top
Show me a woman that just can't stop
Hey baby set me free

Well I'm stuck down here in the cellar
I got shotgun in my hand
Somewhere my baby's going blind

And it's hard being me, hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me It's hard being me
I'm a crazy man

I got wounds and cuts, shining like dimes in my eyes
Somewhere my baby's going blind
Sometimes I wonder, sometimes I confuse
Oh baby we can loose, Oh my baby's going blind

And it's hard being me, hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me, hard being me
I'm shaking like a leaf
Shaking like a leaf on your monkey tree





2. HEAVENLY BODY



First changing mirrors
Fly up on the wall
Hi honking honey
This is my call
Oh I'm changing faces
I guess I'm Mr. Hyde

It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body

Burning like a bush fire
Sinking in the mire
I trapped her like a birdie
Caught her in the wire
And when it all comes down babe
I am left sitting on your fire

It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body

I am stuck down here in the street
With a chinese bone
And chinese feet
It was a hard heavenly body

It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body

Oh I'm changing faces
I guess I'm Mr. Hyde





3. SOME OTHER GUY



Some other guy, has taken my love away
Some other guy, better start learning how to pray

The world it just keeps turning
The midnight oil's still burning
And you're not coming home

The phone it just stopped ringing
There's no late night singing
What am I gonna do with this life

And the moon it's still waning
Up on the roof it's still raining
Oh it's a mess of the blues
And it ain't nothing but losing you

Some other guy, has taken my very heart and soul
Some other guy has dug a very big hole

The cat it just keeps whining
The dog it just keeps pining
Wasting away
The traffic lights still change
But oh this house still feels so strange

And the moon it's still waning
Up on the roof it's still raining
But I'm a mess for you
I'm just a mess of the blues
Ain't nothing but losing you
Come on home honey

I should've seen it coming
Should've started running
When you changed your hair
Baby's got it coming

And there ain't no difference here
But the house is just the same
Oh darling you've gone away
Ain't nothing but the blues
That you've given me
Ain't nothing but the blues
You've given me
And it ain't nothing but losing you





4. WHO'S FOOLING WHO?



I see you every night we talk right through the doors
You don't love me anymore who's keeping score
And I don't want this situation getting out
We're living proof we're living in this doubt

Who, who's the fool
Who, who's the fool
Who, who's cheating who

I'm ain't no difference baby now since we went alone
Come on home honey cos this ain't real
I've got the same face this ain't no steal

Who, who's fooling who
Who, who's cheating who

I ain't no angel but I am still here with you
Who, who's fooling who

Who, who's fooling who
Who, who's cheating who

I ain't no angel but I am still here with you
Who, who's fooling who





5. BLACK AND BLUE



He walked into the sunset
He walked out of the dawn
He rode that Palomino
It was a one man storm

Oh is this the party
Ah I just got started

He disappeared fell down the cracks
He walked out never came back

Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Falling down the stairs
Falling out of cars
Lying in the gutter
Just looking at the stars
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you?

Oh is this the party
Ahh I just got started

It was the biggest circus in town
They came from far and wide
Consuela and her sisters now
Couldn't hold the tide

She was a girl with a diamond smile
Lost herself on the golden mile

Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Falling down the stairs
Falling out of cars
Lying in the gutter
Just looking at the stars

Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you
Oh black and blue
We're stuck together
With just a little glue now

He was a man sad and over
Caught a bus back to California
Oh black and blue
Look what loves done to you
Who's been beating up on you
Out of this cuckoos nest
I guess you flew
Where are you tonight
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you
Turn out the light
My baby's in flight





6. DRINK TOO MUCH



I guess that we've been here before
I still have my feet on the floor
This long evening's cold and bare
Don't we look just a funny pair

And you pull a spell on my heart honey
And there's nothing I can do about it
Cos I love you

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

If I don't come through it honey
Just let it go right

Our shadows dancing across the floor
I never wished for, never wanted more
Your diamond smiles and long black hair
You're much more baby than I ever dared

And if this whole world goes crazy darlin'
There's so much in my heart
And I'll love you today babe

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
Did we do it darlin' till the day we die
Holding on
Holding on now

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

I guess that we've been here before
Oh baby now I think we know the score





7. WORLD CRUISE



Oh come on baby one big please
Give me some lovin' before you leave
Lightning striking like a hammer blow
I'm starting to lose my inner glow

And money don't come here anymore
Honey don't sing at my door
I got my leaving sticks and shoes
I'm gonna take me on a world cruise

Well I could be basking out in the sun
Or on a bench soaking life away
I might be painting a work of art
Or in the church of a sacred heart

And money don't come here anymore
Honey don't sing at my door
I got my leaving sticks and shoes
I'm gonna take me on a world cruise

The jailers watch it keeps good time
This is the only place I call mine
And these boots are still on my feet
In God I trust and I shall meet

And money don't come here anymore
Honey don't sing at my door
I got my leaving sticks and shoes
I'm gonna be on the midnight news





8. DOWN BY THE RIVER



It was a blinding light
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whisky fury
Pounding like the devils rain

Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight

Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer

Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight

We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river

Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Hold on to this night





9. GOOD BYE YOU



Strange is that how we look
In my house now it's an open book
Strange that's a place
We don't go there and we don't leave a trace

Well it's out of my pocket
Out of control
I am still in love with you baby
So is it

Goodbye you goodbye me
Goodbye you goodbye me
Goodbye you is it goodbye me
Goodbye you goodbye me

Strange we still touch
Do we hold on now far too much
Strange is that a gift from above
Oh how we live

And it's out of my pocket
It's out of control
I still love you to my very soul
Is it

Goodbye you goodbye me
Goodbye you goodbye me
Goodbye you is it goodbye me
Goodbye you goodbye me





10. ROLLING MAN



I got the whole damn world wants to shake my hand
I got a map of the promised land
I got a woman with a magic touch
She's half crazy, she's half dutch

Come on come on, what you got to lose
Come on come on, take a walk in my shoes
There's a neck of brandy under the bed
Fifteen children that won't get fed

Come on come on, I'm a deadbeat hand
I got lightning seeds in my pants
I'm the kind of guy that needs to dance

I'm a rollin' man; that's what I am

I got a chevron vision in my head
Every copy of the living dead
I wear my necktie like a noose
I'm a walking junkyard full of juice

Come on come on, what you got to lose
Come on come on, take a walk in my shoes
I saw Venus was in my hand
She slipped away like a grain of sand
Come on come on, oh I am just a lightning bolt

There's no game left in town
There ain't no bar I can't drown
Don't that send shivers up your spine

I got the whole damn world wants to shake my hand
I got a map of the promised land
I wear my necktie like a noose
I'm a walking junkyard full of juice

Come on come on,
I got a rainy day in Birmingham
Come on come on,
I'm gonna put the lights out in San Francisco Bay
Turn the night to day





11. KINGSTON TOWN



I hear they hung the jailer
The messenger is dead
The piano player's singing
To the lovers in his bed
This road is winding back
And there's no end in sight
No sign of our dead Lord
To guide us through this starless night

And through every open doorway
You can choose
And sometimes you win it
And sometimes you lose

This one's for Rosaleen
With a bullet through a breast
This one's for you, my uninvited guest
Oh now my beauty lies
So deep in her sleep
Will some angel keep her spirit sweet

And the simple things to say
Don't always work out that way
The touching of our souls
They don't drift away

I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Fine spanish lace and a wedding gown
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Jamaican rum and a princess crown
