a2 - everybody's next one

She's all alone, she's lost another one
Met him yesterday, now he's already gone

And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time
A smiling face will come that knows the right line
Then she'll do all the right things at the wrong guy
And when he's gone next day she'll say I wonder why

She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one
Cause she's afraid of the truth, it’s gonna hurt some
All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none
She has to realise that to keep on, her ways have to change some

She tries too hard and she comes on too strong
Thinks herself too much and thinks she can't be wrong

She's doing first the things that do not matter
To be the queen of hearts is what she's after
Then she'll do all the right things at the wrong guy
And when he's gone next day she'll say I wonder why

She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one
Cause she's afraid of the truth, it’s gonna hurt some
All the pity in the world ain't gonna help none
She has to realise that to keep on, her ways have to change some


a3 -knocking nails into my house

This house is mine but the men they say it's not
You see this house is the only place I've got
A running round they work so hard and fast
But they don't know my house is built to last

Here comes a man, in a van
He's looking very angry at me

They're knocking nails into walls, oh, on my walls
They run and hide as the only ceiling falls
Gleefully they gather in my shed
They gone for now so I can ease my head

Here comes a man, in a van
He's looking very angry at me

They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house

They work so hard, all that’s left is my sunroof
There goes a wall, oh I think I spoke too soon

Here comes a man, in a van
He's looking very angry at me

They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
They're knocking nails into my house
Look out

a4 - roach daddy

On top of the roach daddy
On top of the roach daddy
Just take this time daddy
On top of the roach daddy
Daddy's getting high, tied to the fly, daddy

Der der  der der der der  der
Der der  der der der der  der
Der der  der der der der  der
Der der  der der der der  der

Oh that's nice

Get yourself together daddy
Get yourself together daddy
Just take this time daddy
Get yourself together daddy
Pauses at the door, there's nowhere to crawl, daddy, oh


a5 -ain't got no heart

Ain't got no heart
I ain't got no heart to give away

I said about those fools in love
There ain't no such thing as love
No angels singing up above today

Girl I don't believe
Girl I don't believe in what you say

I said you, you must be mine
I said you, you must be blind
What makes you think that you're so fine

That I should throw away
The groovy life I lead
Baby what you got yeah
Sure ain't what I need

Girl you better
Girl you better go away

I said that life with you must be
Just not quite the thing for me
Why is it hard to see my way

Why should I be stuck with you
It's just not what I want to do
Why should an embrace or two
Make me such a part of you

I ain't got no heart to give away


a6 - pity the mother

She's left to rear a child because of war
sadly alone
Works hard to clothe and feed her little son
give him a home

She works all night into the early morn
streets cold and damp
Stands at the corner near the Pig and Gun
lit by a lamp

She has to work hard to scrimp and save
or he will go
Go to a home somewhere far away
she loves him so

Tired but she knows that it's the only way
she wanders home
Home to the child that's sleeping sound and warm
never a moan


b1 - mad dog cole

No lyrics as is an instrumental

b2 - fly me high

I'm up to my eyes and I love everyone
I reach for the sky and then reach for the sun
Walking on air and I'm here and I'm there
Travel the sky but for what I don't care

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

  I'm moving around and I'm up and I'm down
Traveling along, my wheels on the ground
Hang on to me tight cause it doesn't last long
A few hours more and it'll be gone

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

  I'm driving along on the streets of the moon
Up here alone, plenty of room
You won't see me, I'll see you, I'm too fast
There you go, it's gone, now it's past

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah

I'm driving along on the streets of the moon
Up here alone, plenty of room
You won't see me, I'll see you, I'm too fast
There you go, it's gone, now it's past

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah
Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah


b3 - if this world was mine

If this world were mine
I would place at your feet
All that I own
You've been so good to me

If this world were mine
I'd give you the flowers
The birds and the bees
And with your love inside me
It would be all I'd need

If this world were mine
I'd give you anything

If this world were mine
I would make you a queen
With wealth untold
You could have anything

If this world were mine
I'd give you each day
So sunny and blue
If you wanted the moonlight
I'd give you that too

If this world were mine
I'd give you anything

Oh baby you're my consolation
And there's no hesitation
When you want me
Baby just call me

Oh you are my inspiration
I feel so much sensation
When you're in my arms
When you're near me Woah woah
The sky would be blue
Long as you're loving me

Woah woah
When you're here in my arms
Life is so wonderful

Woah woah
Gimme pretty loving baby
Gimme pretty loving honey
Keep on loving me

Woah woah
You know I need you baby
I really really need you honey
Keep on loving me
Woah woah


b4 - martha my dear

Martha my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please remember me, Martha my love
Don't forget me, Martha my dear

Hold your head up you silly girl
Look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl

Take a good look around you
Take a good look, you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be for each other
Silly girl

Hold your hand out you silly girl
See what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl

Martha my dear
You have always been my inspiration
Please be good to me, Martha my love
Don't forget me, Martha my dear


b5 - born to be wild

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
A looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

You're not gonna make it happen
All the world is a loving place
Fire all of the guns at once then
Explode into space

I like streaking lightning
A heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

You're not gonna make it happen
All the world is a loving place
Fire all of the guns at once then
Explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can fly so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

I like streaking lightning
A heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

You're not gonna make it happen
Cause all the world is a loving place
Fire all of the guns at once then
Explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can fly so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild


b6 - journey to the centre of your mind

Leave your cares behind
come with us and find
The pleasures of the journey to the centre of your mind

Come along if you care
come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of heart
beyond the realm of want
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

Come along if you care
come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

You must please realise
you'll probably be surprised
For it's a land unknown to man
where fantasy is fact

So if you can please understand
you might not come back

Come along if you care
come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see,

How happy life can be
if all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the centre of your mind
Centre of your mind
your mind, your mind, your mind,
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind,
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind,
Your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind
your mind, your mind
