Always a Flame

Now you must tell me how it's been
For I have walked alone
The narrow winding way

You'd better hurry
Your time is now
What was that worry
It's warm, it's warm, it's warm inside
It's warm, it's warm here in my heart

When you're all done dustin'
Crumble within me
Please lay me to waste

You'd better hurry
Your time is now
What was that worry
It's warm, it's warm, it's warm inside
It's warm, it's warm here in my heart

When will I see you
When will you appear
When will you return
When will it be here...

I will never forget you
I'll never forget you
Oooh I'll never forget you

The boys and girls are all here
Sister Suzie is asking for the sun

You'd better hurry
Your time is now
What was that worry
It's warm, it's warm, it's warm inside
It's warm, it's warm here in my heart

When will I see you
When will you appear
When will you return
When will it be here...

When will I see you
When will you appear
When will you return
When will it be here...

Shame

Would be a shame
to ask me by again
After all I've said and done
You really should have known
That's life after all

.......prevails
It seems so hard
Cast a glance to me
I'm pouring in the rain
And it's at your-

Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
(not again)
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by

And I call
And pray that you'll appear
I slip into the shade
Will you save me anyway
That's a disgrace

And truth
Like black and white, no proof
I only have your words
Your words are not enough
And it's such a-

Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
(not again)
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by

Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
(not again)
Shame, shame
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by

Not again, shame, shame
Not again, shame, shame
Not again, shame, shame
Shame, shame, pass me by

Stephen

We're southern boys with western smiles
We've got it where it counts
See it for miles
Our hearts are gold and our teeth are clouded
Our bones are thin and our lips are shrouded
In mystery

When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
If only I could let that poor boy go
Skinny body, skinny body
Skinny body, skinny body

Won't you pick my pieces up from the floor
I'm up here on the shelf, I'm here
When it comes to perfect smiles, I'm fast
I hope you feel as I do, I do
'Cause we're southern boys with western smiles
We're southern boys with western smiles

Stephen, Stephen

Seems that I've been left up here on the shelf again
If you'd come I'd surely dust my skinny bones down
I'd give you every single dream you wanted
I'd even smile for you
I'd even cry if you just want me to

When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
When Stephen smiles my heart just seems to grow
When Stephen smiles, when Stephen smiles
You'll know, you'll know, 'cause you'll know
You'll know, 'cause you'll know
Skinny body, skinny body
Skinny body, skinny body

The Immigrant

I must go now
Leave this place that you have gone
There are new lands and new horizons
Where did I go wrong?

For I am empty and broken
Happiness, it can't be found
How far below must I sink
Before I come around

Could it be you don't spend enough time with me
Could it be you don't spend enough time with me

Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves

Used to say I'm all you wanted
You belonged to me
But, now I must travel
You're just a memory

Could it be you don't spend enough time with me
Could it be you don't spend enough time with me

Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves

Guess I'm just an immigrant
I don't belong here
Got nothing to keep me
I'll just run on through the waves

Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves
Running through the waves
I'm running through the waves....

Thin Things

Your hair is turning blue
Your words are coming through
You wear that dress twisted, torn and blue
By themselves I know

He's worth waiting for
For you see, yeah, I do
Well, thin things are shivering
Well, thin things are shivering
I'm blue, I'm blue, I'm blue

Cow

You're from the cotton fields

Yeah, but J.A., he's out there bailing hay

He's got muscles...

Did you see the cow with the furrowed brow
He's laughing out

You can pick me up and put me down
Do what you want,
... you've had enough

I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind

Poppa says keep a civil tongue in your head
Don't talk about it
Just pick right up where you left off
Don't think on it

I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind

Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her

Love lovely love
Love lovely love
Love lovely love
Love lovely love

Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her

You wounded me again
Tugged at my nerve ends

I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
I hope I can feel, I hope I'm not blind
(Don't talk about it)

You wounded me again

Tugged at my nerve ends

I'm wired

Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her
Weep for her (did you see the cow?)
Weep for her.....

Worth Waiting For

You got it good
I've had it bad
I've got my girls ..... in my ear
Your Mama could smile
She could really try
She'd better give in, she'd better give in
She'd better give in...

Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for......

Your father's a hood
He has his head
Wrapped up in some sugar plum fairy
He's got it
Mama calls him rotten
She yells like hell
She better give in
She better give in
She better give in
Give in...

Worth waiting for,
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for

This is the voice of the social security
Wondering where the hell you've been
You were due to sign on last Monday
But, you're worth waiting for

Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for

It's you in that dress
But your hair's just a mess
I just got to wait
And I just want it
Words could not be spoken
Not even a token
You better give in
You better give in
You better give in
Give in...

Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for
Worth waiting for
You're worth waiting for

The Rhino Plastys

You said that life
Can be so wonderful
And you love this boy
With his head in the clouds
You helped, you helped
You helped me with a ..........
Made me turn around, turn around, turn around
Do things myself

Who said that friends were there to be relied upon
Who said the choice could do me no harm

What's worse you're loud, you're clear , you're right
Made him turn around, turn around, turn around
To face himself, to face himself
To face himself, to face himself
To face himself

I will lose my head, lose my head, tonight
That's right, embolden me
Lose a stone, lose a stone, lose a stone, lose a stone
Thought you might be taken by me
Look at your nose, look at your nose, look at your nose
I'd rather not, you're so wonderful

Take off your clothes, take off your clothes
I'd rather not

Not your rich and sweet boy
Rather not, rather not
Look at your nose, look at your nose, look at your nose

Who said that friends were there to be relied upon
Who said the choice could do me no harm

The words you spoke were loud and clear
Made me turn around, turn around, turn around

Look at your nose, look at your nose
Wonderful rockabilly girls
Look at your clothes, look at your clothes
Rockabilly boys
Wanna take a hold, wanna take a hold
Rockabilly girls
Look at your clothes, look at your clothes
Rockabilly boys, boys, boys, boys boys....

Deep South Wale

Oh, I never thought
I'd get to meet you
Let alone find the things
We found you call the river

You've had enough of boyfriends
I've had enough of new
But never mind about the fading star
I can only wash away
And while away the day

Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day

?................?
I never thought that it would
But, what about these fading scars
I can only wash away
As they fade away

Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day

Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day

Wash away, while away the day
Wash away, while away the day

Wash away

Coal Porter

Why can't I have you again
Why can't we be such friends

I was down in the woods with you
You're no fun
You brought someone along
I didn't know her
She was blue with you
I was wrong, I know

We talked for hours night and day
Mesmerized by the Cole Porter crazy ways
My my, just be one with me
But just like a sister, perfectly
Let's all fall

And in the distance two wildcats prowl
And in the distance two wildcats howl

woooooooooooooo

A dozen hopes of you
For me to pull down
All the rooftops are falling
Around my head, oh no
My my, just be one with me
But just a sister, perfectly

All fall down
(let me, just let me)
We better fall down
(Let me, just let me, let me)
Fall down
(let me, just let me, let me)
Down to the floor
Where else would you go....

One Someone

I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are

You weren't there, you were someone else
You were someone

In doubt in doubt yet
In and out no sign
In doubt you push
In doubt you stumble
In doubt you hope
I know I know I know

Oh, speak to me, please speak to me
I wait on your lips, on your lips

I know I know I know who you are

Speak to me, speak to me
Someone else

I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are

Your eyes they shine they start up so bright
Your eyes they shine they start up they're mine

I know I know I know who you are
I know I know I know who you are

Gorgeous

Cradle my head
Break my arms again
Don't bring in those henchmen
The way they tear my toes
It's gorgeous

My guilty secrets are unfolding
Before your eyes
You're such a carbon copy
Of my brother
Oh, gorgeous

You're so gorgeous
For god's sake

All thoughts are hell
All my hangups are down
All my roads are clear
But, nevertheless, you're gorgeous
Gorgeous

What was that sound at the door
Must have been a Mysteron
I caught him with his clothes on
All the way from Key Well
Where the oil comes in
And the money flows
With emotion to the sea

You're so gorgeous
I can hardly keep my toes clean
I feel so mean
I can't play Cluedo
Without losing the dice

Ah, so nice
You're so gorgeous
Out of your mind
You're so gorgeous
You're so slim

You're akin to a fool
I look at your idiot smile
I wonder how I could ignore
You puck your lips
I assure you this must
Surely be it
