Ace Of Spades
Since you've gone I've been playing with the notion
that nothing's ever gonna hold me in your ocean
Cause honey I've got blades and the ace of spades
that will make you stay if you let me play
lonely in the fingers of the breeze
A worried man will tell you what you got
A hurried man will sell you what you've got
Oh honey you can try to make your heart worthwhile
if you'll let me smile when i've got no style
cause maybe you might be taking it from me
(Chorus) life just gets in the way
of me making my music
but being with you was the best mistake that I ever made x2

Peace Of Mind
I strained to hear the quiet man
as he swept away his plans of destinations
he couldn't take it anymore.
He told me, "Son, you understand
a man can't have his tree shield
planted gardens."
he couldn't take it anymore
(chorus)
He said, "Life ain't what you had
it's only what you've got
what you believe in.
Life ain't what you had
it's only what you've got
and what you believe in
and peace of mind.
peace of mind.
He said he thought of letting go
because row by row his harvest it was dying.
He couldn't take it anymore.
He lost the crop
the man grew thin
the rain came back
and made him smile again
(chorus)

The Game
Everybody plays her game
but I don't know if I should love her
maybe she feels this way
for every guy who's thinking of her.
(chorus)
Ooooh - I'm starting to worry
If I don't hurry she'll put me at the end of line.
ooooh- and there's no good poison
but it works for the boys on an odd night out.
She don't want to play with fools
who want her alone a long time
and I know since I'm a fool
she'll be making up my own mind.
(chorus x2)

The Odd Couple
I'm forgetting your shadow
I'm losing your voice in my mind
it's my choice
for I know that it's over
we have grown older
I've cried on your shoulder too much to touch you.
I'm feeling my way
my sad idiot way
through the strain and the stains I have left on your life
and now you can see
how I was cruel to me
I'm worried I've ruined my scenery
Now you're gone
And I'm feeling the blow like I felt when I left your phone conversation
alone with you breathing.
I kept good track of the things I mistrusted
how I valued the love
while you vanished and lusted
But now we're gone
We've had to move on in life's cruel parade
because if there's anything it made
was a clown out of me
And I'm thanking the clouds that you robbed me blind
Because I'm too blind to find my eyes
find my way back to you
And now I'm feeling the blows like I did once before
when the scapegoat was me and I grew dumb and old.

My Old Wife
My old wife took down and died
just because I couldn't fight
I let her leave
she took her life
I was unfaithful to the one I loved the best.
My wife she kept me home
she kept me clean
she kept me broke
now I've got nobody to please
and there's new laws to make an outlaw out of me.
Now in my life
I'll be alone
I can't take shelter from the stones
that fly and fall all over me
they've come to make an outlaw out of me.
It's going to be a dark tomorrow
there's new laws to make an outlaw of me
nobody knows my sorrow
nobody knows the trouble I will see.

Taking You For A Free Ride
Speaking for the old man
speaking for the young
the prophet dances at home
'cause he's making all the bucks
and he'll never drive a truck again
and he'll never drive a truck again
He's got high grade corruption
hidden in his jacket pocket
of a suit that cost a racket
and his following likes his jacket
and he'll never drive a truck again
and he'll never drive a truck again
(Chorus)
He's taking you for a free ride
He's taking you for a free ride
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
You look to him for keys
don't you see he's just a crook
get your Gidgeons Bible
and get a cheaper look
and he'll never drive a truck again
and he'll never drive a truck again
(Chorus x2)

Make A Little Woman Out There Come Alive
Man alive I'm telling you
I'm feeling much wiser than the little fool you once knew
she's gonna come back home to me
because there's no one out there who can take away her misery like me
It's my job
it's my life
I'm here to make a little woman out there come alive.
She'll have me around her finger 'cause
it's a little game that we all like to call love
she'll run away and I'll give chase
because I've got no life without a little woman in my face
I am lonely
and that ain't fair
I'm here to make a little woman out there come alive.
Man alive I'm telling you
I'm feeling much wiser than the little fool you once knew
she's gonna come back home to me
because there's no one out there who can take away her misery like me
It's my job
it's my life
I'm here to make a little woman out there come alive.

The Pain She Keeps
The pain she keeps inside is the pain she keeps
she holds it dear to her
it's only skin deep
and this is how we live our lives
this is how we live our lives.
She knows how to let go
of this pain that she holds
I have her walk a lonely mile
and she comes smiling home
this is how we live our lives
this is how we live our lives
She feels I've let her down
I'll never let her drown
me in her tears
she comes near and I run away
I'm going to give it a try
keep the pain that she keeps
and if it hurts me
I don't mind
'cause it's only skin deep
this is how we live our lives
this is how we live our lives.

Top Of The World
I've been worried about waiting too long
would your love ever wait here for me?
I haven't kept any track of time
but my heart ain't mine
and I'm thinking about you
(chorus)
Being on top of the world
swaying/sitting/singing up on top of the world
and you're free/waiting on top of the world
without me/you/for you
Your love is going to take me there
but you don't hear me and you don't care
I try to talk with you when you're with your friends
but they can hear me
they say I pretend to be
(chorus)
I would hold you 'til I die
but as the distance grows
I'm shouting,
"why, oh, why
I'm alone in a room all night
waiting for the right things to say
all night
trying to get close to you.
In a moment of the day do you
think of me and the things I do?
Do you ever laugh when I'm not around
and think of that lonely poor old clown
if you did
(chorus)

Meet A Girl
Now the mystery is gone
the pirates still plunder gold
for their bare hills
to build to the treetops
dwellings
the history is made
the devil she still pulls down the shades
and does things the evil way
(chorus)
If I ever want frustration
I just got out and meet a girl
because my time isn't right
and I've got no touch in that world
If I ever want frustration
I just got out and meet a girl
She deals with heaven
like an unborn flower
a feather but newly plucked
a song that is unmentioned
but dreamed
I deal with the truth and the
scandal it contains
fear is pond and this is the rain
(chorus)
She deals with dreams of the lonely ones
the lonely ones
the lonely ones
she holds the winters in the heat of her sun
when she comes
when she runs
when she comes
they call me a man and they don't know my name
and I don't answer but ask me who I am again.
(chorus)

Happily Ever After
The sunlit shadows found around the grassy grounds
have all just faded away
the dandelions junipers and other flowers lay in wait for rain
on and on cried angry storms cast hailstones on the frozen fields today
Maybe we can play with them but then the cops don't like such foolish things
(Chorus)
I'm not lonely 'neath the sun
I'm not only the only one
who always wants a happily ever after
changes come and changes go
you never thought you'd be alone today
hey hey hey hey
On my feet I fall asleep and breath a breath of air I wish I could keep
the breeze falls gently to its knees around us falling calling as it leaves
(Chorus)
Fun in the sun is just fine when you know it's for real
You may just be insane but you know somehow your brain is revealed
I'm not lonely 'neath the sun
I'm not only the only one
I'm not lonely 'neath the sun
I'm not only the only one
I'm not lonely 'neath the sun
I'm not only the only one

I'll Follow You

I'll Follow You
Just because my load is heavy
doesn't mean I'll share
I'll keep my burdens tucked away
from everyone who cares
but it's fun to complain
life won't be the same
I'll spare myself a friend or two
and of course, I'll follow you.
I've learned the hardest way
one and one ain't two.
Sometimes the matchmaker
will make the match for you
You can't change
what you can't re-arrange
I'll spare myself a friend or two
and of course, I'll follow you.
When I meet your love again
the pain will be set free
I'll let the burdens tumble down
exchange some misery.
You will do what I want you to
You will listen to me.
I'll spare myself a friend or two
and of course, I'll follow you.
I'll spare myself a friend or two
and of course, I'll follow you.

Here To Stay
I wasn't born to wait so long
for some good luck to help me on my way
you're showing me how good it feels
to have a laugh and have a little faith
and I'll take this new advantage
and I won't take you for granted
because together things will really change
only for the wiser
the better and the brighter
the bright eyed better wiser man is here to stay.
(repeat)
