Gimme a Beat
03:42

Oh gimme a beat
So I can move my feet
Gimme a melody
Make a rockin’ sound
I will dance around
Music is the world to me
Have a little fun
Hey what the hey
Why not a lot of fun
Caught up in the sound
Swirling all around
Music is ecstasy
Give us a song
We will sing along
Everybody feel free
Open up your mouth
Let it all hang out
Nothing like a harmony
Go into a trance
Let your body dance
And leave your body far behind
Feel the groove you’re in
Let it pull you in
Music has gravity
Oh gimme a beat
So I can move my feet
Gimme a melody
Make a rockin’ sound
I will dance around
Music is the world to me
Have a little fun
Hey what the hey
Why not a lot of fun
Caught up in the sound
Swirling all around
Music is ecstasy

Honey
03:23
|

You made it super duper clear honey you don’t want me here honey
I’ll grab my guitar and a 6 pack of beer honey
I’ll head into the night with nowhere in mind
A little bit of walking helps to clear my mind
Then I wind up at the ocean ‘cause the ocean always seems to calm me down
and I feel the tide is turning and the moon is burning down behind those clouds
I’ve done and said so many things honey I don’t bring a thing honey
I am so ashamed you say I will never change
so I head into the night with nowhere in mind
A little bit of walking helps to clear my mind
Then I wind up at at the ocean ‘cause the ocean always seems to calm me down
and I feel the tide is turning and the moon is burning down behind those clouds (x2)
and I feel the tide is turning and my world is burning down behind those clouds

Survivor
03:29
|

I’m a survivor
I’m still alive
I will survive
Till the day I die
We keep on ticking
Through thick and thin
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip
Now you and I have
Seen some bad times
Not as bad as
some I’ve known
Count your blessings
when you cups half empty
Get your ducks all in a row
I’m a survivor
I’m still alive
I will survive
Till the day I die
We keep on ticking
Through thick and thin
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip
Just stand back and
See the big picture
Breathe in and out
When the times get tough
Enjoy the moment
Quit your supposin’
Sing a song and feel the love
I’m a survivor
I’m still alive
I will survive
Till the day I die
We keep on ticking
Through thick and thin
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip
Oooo oooo oooo aaaahh aaaah
I will not dwell on
Fear and failure
Got a little wine
Got a little bread
The sun is shinin’ (shinin’)
So quit your whinin’ (whinin’)
Keep on rocking
That’s what she said
I’m a survivor
I’m still alive
I will survive
Till the day I die
We keep on ticking
Through thick and thin
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip
I’m a survivor
I’m still alive
I will survive
Till the day I die
We keep on ticking
Through thick and thin
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip
Just like MacGyver with a paperclip

Under the Bridge
02:58
|
|||
Take me down, I’m going for a ride. Take me down I’m hypnotized.
Take me down and watch me slide under the bridge
Dirty deals they’re cheaper by the dozen. I’m feeling lucky in my cement shoes
I’m tearing paper into little pieces, I’m getting lost but I’m leaving little clues
I’m going under the bridge
Out of the rain and into the fire, grease me up and put me in the pan
I should know if you would ask me, I know exactly where I stand,
under the bridge
Well theirs way too much information, a ring side seat on a slippery slope
A man is bound to hang around, just give me a reason and a length of rope
Under the bridge

I Need Love
03:00
|
|||
Chorus- I need love to survive, I need love to survive, I need love to survive,
I Need love to survive, I need love, I need love to survive
You call me honey, I call you my home, I don’t ever want to be alone
It gets so lonely when I’m out on the road
I can’t wait to hear your voice on the phone
Chorus
I don’t mind working, it’s employment I can’t stand
Everybody’s running off to work for the man
Sometimes it don’t work out the way that you planned but
I love it honey when you hold my hand
Chorus

Hong Kong Café
03:55
|
|||
Haven’t been to bed since 1981
Only god knows how I can go on
Burning the candle at both ends with kerosine
In the morning well you know where I’ve been
Chorus- Hong kong café
Streets are deserted at these odd hours
Haven’t bathed in 3 days and I ain’t had a shower
Lamplight still burning as I make my way down
Stepping over rubbies en route to Chinatown
Chorus
Dilated pupils let the cold breeze blow in
My numbed grey cells can’t remember where I’ve been
Sooner or later gonna have to come down
Walk through the door way and my feet just reach the ground
Chorus x 2

Son of I Hate My Job
03:51
|
|||
Life is is so expensive, I got no time to live
but I’ll have tons of time for fun, when I’m cold and stiff
My bony fingers on the wheel, I’m late for work again
Friday takes forever then the weekend’s gone again
Chorus- I hate my job
Monday morning come, it kicks me in the head
Tuesday was a right off, Wednesday beat me back to bed
Thursday left me lonely with nothing left to feel
Friday come again ‘cause I’m nailed to the wheel, the wheel, I’m nailed to the wheel
Chorus

Purple Haze
03:05
|
|||
Well I’m dreaming of the weekend it’s all I’ve got
I drink a couple beers and I twist one up
Then I listen to my records, they take me back to the day
When we were free as bird in a purple haze
There were dark delicious kisses on a hot summer night we were bathed in sweat yet we shivered with delight then we both lost touch, we went our separate ways
‘Cause we were free as bird in a purple haze
Bridge- And now it’s forward ho and I can’t go back
Everyone around me is a heart attack
I’m grid locked on a freeway, nothing free about that
Yeah I’m dreaming of the weekend it’s all I’ve got
I drink a couple beers I maybe twist one up
then I listen to my 8 track, it takes me back to the day
When we were free as a bird in a purple haze

9. |

I am the wheat in the way of the thresher
I can’t stand all of this pressure
Stand up or bend to survive
Hollowed core hard to stay alive
Put your money where your mouth is
Tick tock, you’re on a time limit
Hard core, pugilistic freak out find a
side door, somewhere I can sneak out, rowdy crowd
Crap shoot, every time you step out, if the jokes on me, the beers on you
Chorus- put your money where your mouth is
Blind in one eye, drunk in the other
Singing songs with my sisters and my brothers
You may think I understand our joke
but I am only laughing ‘cause I’m stoned
Chorus

10. |
||||
Well the riff is too familiar and the words don’t have a lot to say
But my foot is tap tap tapping and my head goes back and forth this way
Love is all around, you can feel it in the air
The boys are getting loose the girls are letting down their hair
Chorus- Love is a machine, a perpetual emotion machine
Let your limbo do the talking just jitter jitter bug away
When Rita cut a rug, I watch her body sway
She’s not the beauty of the ball
But she’s the only one I see
I’m gonna catch on fire ‘cause her love is gasoline
Chorus

Divided Highways
04:32
|
|||
You are my dream girl, though I’m not really dreaming
You took me all the way home
Now you are leaving, won’t you please take me with you
I do not care where we go, where we go
Chorus- We are flying down divided highways
Reach the ocean and then we’ll rest
We are just like the little birdies
Looking down on the loneliness, emptiness
We’ll follow our headlights, we do not know what’s out there
But I’ve never felt so safe and warm
Now there’s a pre dawn glowing
It’s in our rear view mirror
I know with you I’ve been reborn,
I’ve been reborn
Chorus- We are flying down divided highways
Reach the ocean and then we’ll rest
We are just like the little birdies
Looking down on the loneliness, emptiness
Lonliness, empty nest

12. |
||||
Chorus- I feel like a cigarette, suck my butt,
Suck my butt, suck my butt
I feel like a cigarette, suck my butt, all night long
I need a coffee and a cigarette then one more coffee and another cigarette
I need a coffee and a cigarette then one more coffee then I get out of bed
Chorus
I need a beer and a cigarette then one more beer and another cigarette
I need a beer and a cigarette then one more beer and another cigarette
Chorus
Bridge- Nic, nic, nicotine strongest drug that I ever did
See
Chorus

Liquor Store
03:50
|
|||
Liquor store, liquor store
Don’t know what I liquor for
See me with my drunken liquor friends
Liquor pig, liquor pig
I am such a horny rig
See me coming round the liquor bend
Chorus - If you don’t start in the morning, you can’t drink all day
Rise and shine with a glass of wine,
it’ll get you on your way
Liquor store, liquor store
Don’t know what I liquor for
Drink until my liver’s turning grey
Liquor queen, my liquor queen
I met you somewhere in a dream
Your breath, a fresh and gin soaked lemon breeze
Liquor queen, my liquor queen
Your kisses sweet like nicotine
Don’t you know I love you liquor queen
Chorus
