LONG LAST LOOK
Sitting in a bar in this dusty old town
Waiting for the sun to go down
Me oh my, how the time passes slow
When you got no money and no place to go
I’m looking at Suzie, she’s looking at me
She sees the same things that I see
Lonely people living on dreams
Suzie this leaving can’t be as hard as it seems
There’s no percentage in us hanging around
We both know we gotta leave this town
There’ll be no turning back for old times sake
So Suzie, is there something you would like to take?
She said “A long last look, a long last look
Let’s take a long last look before we go”
Got me a job in a hardware store
They gave me a room on the second floor
It didn’t pay much, just enough to get by
With a little left over to get me high
But all in all I was doing alright
Till her daddy came round and we started to fight
Now I’m out of a job and I’m out on the street
Down on my luck but I’m not down on my knees
Let’s take a long last look, a long last look
A long last look before we go
Throw my guitar in the pickup truck
Head off south to try to change our luck
We could be gone by the time the sun goes down
Before your daddy thinks to come around
Hey Little Suzie what do you think about that?
Maybe this leaving might be where it’s at?
I ain’t got much that I can call my own
But I’ve got a heart so Suzie you’ve got a home
Let’s raise a glass to everyone we know
And drink a toast to them before we go
Then take a long last look, a long last look
Let’s take a long last look before we go

Crossroad Sign

CROSSROAD SIGN
One road looks much like any other
Be it straight or serpentine
Down every road in life we travel
There’s another crossroad sign
So you stand alone, there at the crossroad
Asking yourself which way to go
Can’t you hear His voice? Can’t you hear Him calling?
Follow your heart and your heart will know
‘Cos if your heart is true then it doesn’t matter
What lies beyond that crossroad sign
Just like an arrow, keep straight and narrow
And let his love take care of you
That old crossroad sign keeps reappearing
When footsteps falter on the road
Well it’s just a question, there to remind you
To let his love take care of you

You Play Too Rough

YOU PLAY TOO ROUGH
Every time.. I walk the floor
My heart cries out "no more, no more "
I'm not that tough.. I've had enough
You play too rough
And even though.. my heart should break
I've had much more than I can take
I'm not that tough.. I've had enough
You play too rough
Your love is real.. I know it's real
But darlin' my poor heart's not made of steel
I need a much more tender touch
You play too rough
And even though.. I know you care
It gets too much..too much to bear
I'm not that tough.. I've had enough
You play too rough

PIECE OF STRING
I know.. you been messing me round
I heard... I heard it all round town
I wonder who... is gonna bring you down
How can ..you look me in the eye
How dare ...you sit right there and lie
I guess ..you wanna see me cry
How far... you gonna push this thing
How high... you wanna make me sing
Well I heard you say.. how long's a piece of string
How long......
How long's a piece of string
Someday... when you're alone and blue
Yeah someday... it's gonna dawn on you
Just how much you pay.. for all the stuff you do
Well I hope... you won't be blue too long
Honey 'fore you hear... love's sweet, sweet song
But it won't be me 'cos honey I'll be gone
How long, how long.... your lonely heart will sing
How long, how long... until true love will spring
Well honey ask yourself
How long's a piece of string ?

GLORY DAYS
Downtown ..bright lights..Saturday night
Aces from head to toe
Blue suedes..drape coat....sharper than a cut-throat
Looking like a fashion show
Elvis on the jukebox...polka dots & bobby socks
Jiving to the jailhouse rock
Staying at a motel ..heartbreak hotel playing on the radio
Glory days...glory days
Bring back those glory days
String ties ...Levis..don't you roll those bloodshot eyes
Can't you see they're driving me wild
I was born in the forties..raised up in the fifties
Growing up a rock & roll child
Jerry Lee telling me...everywhere there's going to be
Whole lotta shakin' going on
Peggy Sue whatcha say...buddy that'll be the day
Lordy what a way to go
Glory days....glory days
Remember rock around the clock
Bet you wished they'd never stop
Bring back those glory days

Time After Time

TIME AFTER TIME
Young hearts are tender and I guess it shows
Falling over just like dominos
Strike a spark and a volcano blows....
Time after time
We'd play the night away in all-night bars
Songs of love beneath a million stars
Affairs of heart can leave some lasting scars
Time after time
But time after time
She'll waltz round the floor
In the time-honoured dance
And he'll step right up like a moth to a flame
She'll smile with her arms open wide
And he'll fall right into them
Time after time
You'd think someone who'd played a hand or two
Would be no stranger to the old soft shoe
Would read the play and know just what to do
Time after time
But time after time
She'll waltz round the floor
In the time-honoured dance
And he'll step right up like a moth to a flame
She'll smile with her arms open wide
And he'll fall right into them
Time after time
They're showing Juliet & Romeo
Down at the local Palace Picture Show
I can't resist it ...I just have to go
Time after time

Fire in my Soul

FIRE IN MY SOUL
There's a fire in my soul
And it's burning just for you
I’m walking on coal, what am I going to do
It started with a spark somewhere deep down in my heart
Now there's a fire in my soul & it's out of control
There's a feeling called the blues
It's a feeling i could lose , depending on you
Honey what you going to do
Won't you feed it to the fire
Feed it to the flames of my desire
I got a fire in my soul & it's out of control
It's out of control...out of control
There's a fire in my soul & it's out of control
Pour on the water & watch it turn to steam
Run it through my engine & fire up my dream
There's a fire in my soul
And nothing's going to put it out
And it's never ever going to grow cold this fire in my soul

Final Farewell

FINAL FAREWELL
I’ve been dragging my anchor in the seas of your passion
Out of control, it’s a no-win situation
And I can’t find the will to resist the temptation
And my only salvation is this final farewell
Well you’ve had your fun, so let’s draw the line
Before this battlefield of hearts becomes the scene of a crime
I rented out the penthouse at the Halfway Hotel
Just to host this celebration of our final farewell
There’s gonna be anger and frustration
Tears and accusations
Gonna be a big sensation at our final farewell
You pushed me and you pulled me in every direction
You dented my pride and you toyed with my affection
Well honey, now that you’re done
Let me draw your attention to this neon invitation
To a final farewell
There’s gonna be anger and frustration
Tears and accusations
Gonna be a big sensation at our final farewell

J'AI BESOIN DE TOI
Unlock this cold, cold heart and set me free
Rescue me, rescue me
Take pity on this refugee
Stay by me, stay by me
Please don't leave me here in this cruel world alone
Moi j'ecris pour toi un billet-doux
Darling I'm counting on you
S'il tu plait reste ici, je te prie, je te prie
Reste avec moi tout le temps ma petite
J'ai besoin de toi, j'ai besoin de toi
Reste avec moi , tout le temps avec moi
Ne me quitte jamais dans ce monde cruel tout seule
Moi j'ecris pour toi un billet-doux
Darling I'm counting on you
