Gonna Howl

Well they got all kinds of booze
I got my jazz cigarettes
You got to know in the morning
There will be pain and regrets
But tonight oooo tonight the big dog's gonna howl
There ain't no doubt that the big dog's out
Can't leave well enough alone
The big dog's back running with the pack
Forget about your black cat bone
Oooo oooo big dog's gonna howl
The big dog's gonna howl
Oooo ooo big dog's gonna howl

Staying out late in some dive bar
I'm digging that bitches brew
I know tomorrow i'm done for
But i need something to chew
'cause tonight oooo tonight, the big dog's gonna howl
It's plain to see that big dog's free
Who's the little pussy cat?
The big dog's wanna have some fun
Tonight i got my mojo back

Oooo ooo, big dog's gonna howl
The big dog's gonna howl
Oooo ooo, big dog's gonna howl
The big dog's gonna howl
Oooo ooo, big dog's gonna howl
The big dog's gonna howl

Oooo oooo
The big dog's gonna howl

Claimed
I think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
I know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out

You think you know me, but what's inside?
Ain't gonna show you, so who am I?
Don't do disclosure, I never tried
Soul Train
On an easy ride

I got no secrets, I tell no lies
But you see through me, to my surprise
I never told you my powders dry
So claimed

I think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out

I think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out

I live in limbo, I've got no ties
Just look at me and you'll see no files
Oh it's all out there, there's no disguise
So Claimed
On an easy ride

Slippin' and slidin'
We all make our way
Duckin' and Divin'
All the games that people play

... you just found me out
I know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out
I think that you just found me out

I think that you just found me out
... you just found me out
Know that you just found me out
... you just found me, you just found me out

I think that you just found me out

No Mean Monster

I see you're trying to place me
This ain't a face you forget
I was right there on the cover
Do you remember me yet?

Better the devil you don't know
You better run for your life
'Cause now I'm here on the outside
And you've got nowhere to hide

Well I've been watching for years now
From T-shirts and tattoos and passes for VIP's
I'm big and I'm mean and I'm horny and green
And I'm here now
Some kind of voodoo got me on the scene

I'm No Mean Monster
I'm finally free
I'm No Mean Monster

You're gonna party with me now
I'll take you out for a ride
I got one hell of a Harley
A Big old beast of a bike

I was right there on the cover
Down with the rats and the bones
And now you're gonna discover
That I won't leave you alone

No I don't know how I got here
I was a slave to the trade and I had no control
Y'all thought it was nice, when I was just merchandise
But I'm free now
Some kind of voodoo has taken its toll

I'm No Mean Monster
I'm finally free
I'm No Mean Monster

My friends call me Fred

Well I've been watching for years now
From T-shirts and tattoos and passes for VIP's
I'm big and I'm mean and I'm horny and green
And I'm here now
Some kind of voodoo got me on the scene

I'm No Mean Monster
I'm finally free
I'm No Mean Monster

When Jesus Comes To Save The World Again

I can see it in your eyes
You've been searching for something
In a world you despise
There just has to be something
You can see through the lies
Now that you've found your calling
And you'll say your goodbyes
To a world that is fallen
They'll be drownin' in the sin
When Jesus comes to save the world again

You won't shed any tears
For the ones who won't listen
Got to help spread the fear
You're a man on a mission
It's so good to be sure
Just let the faith flower
It's so good to be pure
And you can watch from the tower
You'll be laughing with your friends
When Jesus comes to save the world again

In your suit and tie
You have come here to try us
You're the all knowing guy…
… with the face of the pious
'Cause the man in the sky
Say's he gotta have more
And if you wanna get by
Gotta go door to door
Say I better let you in
Before Jesus comes to save the world again

I don't want your time
I don't want your faith
I don't want your life
I don't want to be saved
I don't want your God
I don't want your fear
I don't want what you got
And I don't want you here

All the best of everything
When Jesus comes to save the world again
When Jesus comes to save the world again
When Jesus comes to save the world again…

Radio

Songs that take you back
Songs that make you think
Songs that turned your life around
That pulled you from the brink

Songs that free your mind
Or make you want to rage
That get you so emotional
Songs that never age

And lately I've been thinking
About the music in my past
Was it really all the long ago?
Gonna dial into the airwaves
Gotta make the moment last
It wasn't really all that long ago

Tonight
It's just me and my radio
A DJ for company
It's just how it used to be
Tonight
I've been listening to old friends
Did I realize how easy it was back then
When all of my time was free

Songs that speak to you
Songs that spread the world
Songs that you forgot about
And songs that changed the world

And lately I've been thinking
About the music in my past
Was it really all the long ago?
Gonna dial into the airwaves
Gotta make the moment last
It wasn't really all that long ago

Gotta make it last
Gotta make it last
Bring it on
Sing a song

Tonight
A DJ for company
It's just how it used to be
Tonight
I've been listening to old friends
Did I realize how easy it was back then
When all of my time was free

When all of my time was free…

Time And Tide

It?s been sixteen years
And it don?t seem more
Than sixteen days

As the years roll by
Does the time really fly?
Did lose my way?

In a rock ?n? roll band
With a guitar in my hand
And a song to play

It?s a life on the run
Having too much fun
On the Super Highway

Don?t pass me by.
Don?t pass me by

Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?

When you?re chasing your dreams
It sometimes seems
Like you can?t slow down

The bed?s still made
When you?re on your way
To another town

But I never felt nothing
When I took a little something
To ease my mind

I just got on the track
and never looked back
for a long long time

Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?

Well it?s been eight years now
And i don?t know how
but I love her so

Met a girl who could love me
Put a ring on her finger
And I never let go

In a rock ?n? roll band
With a guitar in my hand
And a song to play

Through time and tide
I finally find
A brand new way
Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?

Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?

Don?t pass me by.
Don?t pass me by

Where does it go?
Where does the time go?
Where did it go?
Where did the time go?

Lifeboat

It?s true
That there was support for you
When you said that you would do
All the things you are supposed to do

So why
Kiss your promises goodbye
Now you?re sitting there on high

Tell me who
Said it was alright for you
To stick your nose into
Anything you want to

Then fake
It?s a genuine mistake
When we catch you on the make
Big government
Look at these clowns
Screwing around
Big Government
Dragging us down
I don?t wanna drown

Somebody get me a lifeboat
Because you?re not getting my vote
Somebody get me a life coach
Cos you?re not goin` in my file
Someone get me a lifeboat
No, you?re not getting my vote

J-J-J-Jobs for the boys
Transparency
Apologies
Austerity
But you don?t fool me, no

Big Government
Making up the rules
Treat us like fools
Big government
Making us pay
I don?t wanna to stay

Somebody get me a lifeboat
Because you?re not getting my vote
Somebody get me a life coach
Cos you?re starting to encroach
Got to get me a lifestyle
Cos you?re not goin` in my file
Someone get me a lifeboat
No, you?re not getting my vote
Somebody get me a life

The Toast

If you enjoyed yourself tonight
A half as much as we did
Then we enjoyed ourselves twice as much
You gotta know we loved the show
And how we have been treated
And comin` back here is a must

But now ..... we?re all pretty drunk

It was well worth waiting
For the meal they?ve been creating
I can see why it took hours and hours
The drinkin?s been outrageous
We love when you play one of ours

I love my fridge magnet
My Medal is fantastic
My flowers and my coffee cup
But now we?re all kinda drunk
THe camera phones are at the ready
You better take that picture twice
I need something to cool my bevvy

Slainte mhath
Slainte mhath

Thank you for the kind words
And thank you for the speeches
It really did mean something to me
the big glass rifle
Full of vodka is delightful
And thank you for the picture of me

I know you really wish
That Jimmy?d try the fish
It?s a pity he?s already messed up

Besides.......we?re all pretty drunk
The mayor is here but he?s off his face
The dignitaries are getting pissed
He loves ?Love Hurts` and he owns the place
It doesn?t get any better than this

Slainte mhath
Slainte mhath

I wanna make a toast
Yeah I gotta make a toast
I wanna make a toast
Yeah I gotta make a toast
I?ve gotta make a toast

I gotta make a toast

Watch Your Back

We got Bloods and Cribs
The colours are flying
In the barrio, the people are dying
Thugs and drugs and carjacks too
High School kids with gang tattoos

You better watch your back boy
Gunshots crash
Because you?re under attack boy
The blue lights flash.....hide your stash

The turf wars rage
El Diablo has throne
Megra turn their backs
cos we?re killing our own

You better watch your back boy
Gunshots crash
Because you?re under attack boy
The blue lights flash.....show me the cash

By the shrine of Santa Maria of the four lane
Please pray for us
By the height of the walls in Arizona
Make way for us

The girls go to church
The boys go to jail
If you?re looking for blood
Just follow the trail

You better watch your back boy
Gunshots crash
Because you?re under attack boy
The blue lights flash.....under the lash

By the shrine of Santa Maria of the four lane
Please pray for us
By the height of the walls in Arizona
Make way for us

You better watch your back boy
Gunshots crash
Because you?re under attack boy
The blue lights flash.....under the lash

By the shrine of Santa Maria of the four lane
Please pray for us
By the height of the walls in Arizona
Make way for us.....the blue lights crash

Butterfly

I'd love to stop by one more time
Drink a cup of coffee with you
Let the day unwind
Hello my darlin 'you would say
And make me feel as if I was
The highlight of your day

You told me stories
Sewed my jeans
Kisses For The Golden Boys
And gifts that tasted sweed
And how you loved your rock 'n' roll
When you started dancing
Well, you really tolerated the show

I shall always renember
The laughter in your eyes
I do not want you to worry, none
The memory will survive
Everytime I Think of You
The woman did I see
Is dancing round the house with him
And smiling back at me

You did not want to let us go
But still you had the strength to smile
You never let it show
And though you finally slipped away
The joy you spread throughout your life
In memory will stay

I still recall the butterfly
Flying round the church
That day we came to say goodbye
He danced with you right to the end
And that's show I remember you
Dancing when I think of you
Just like how I promised you

I shall always remember
The laughter in your eyes
I do not want you to worry, none
The memory will survive
Everytime I Think of You
The woman that I see
Is dancing round the house with him
And smiling back at me

I shall always remember
The laughter in your eyes

Sleeptalker

There is something pretty freaking goin 'on in his head
A major violation goin 'on in the bed
Mental molestation of the tormented mind
The manic machinations the sonambiente kind

Skeletons hidden in the closet in the house
Of the mind of the sleep talker
Reds in the beds and Ghosts of the Past
In the mind of the sleep talker
Lies in the eyes and cries of the devils
In the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker
Psychosystematic black hole in the soul
In the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker

Something in the make up that's a little bit strange
Output may be different but the games never change
The failure of the function of the tormented mind
The manic machinations the sonambiente kind

Skeletons hidden in the closet in the house
Of the mind of the sleep talker
Reds in the beds and Ghosts of the Past
In the mind of the sleep talker
Lies in the eyes and cries of the devils
In the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker
Psychosystematic black hole in the soul
Of the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker
