Welcome To The City

Drunk gambler out on the sidewalk
Young lovers under the skyline
Broke hooker talking her sweet talk
And a Preacher Man screams the end of the world
Old busker singing the blues
House husband out with his mistress
Free love and fast food
And a Duke Box that plays all our favourite songs
This is the place we've seen on TV
This is the place, man
Welcome to the city
Two strangers struggling for small talk
Dog walker smoking a joint
Young writer missing his sweetheart
And a girl all alone at the side of the road
This is the place we've seen on TV
This is the place, man
Welcome to the city
Welcome to the city
Welcome to the city
Welcome to the city

Woke up this morning with a cloud above my head,
I could hear a dog barking as a struggled out of bed,
The rain was pouring down,
It was leaking through the roof,
There aint nothing gonna wash away these blues.
Speaking to a girl on the telephone last night,
I guess I was feeling lonely just thinking about my life,
I said "what've you gotta lose?"
She said "I've better things to do"
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues.
There aint nothin no,
There aint nothing no,
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues
Oh yes I've got 'em and I can't break lose,
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues
Just got home from work and I'm dead on my feet,
There's no beers in the fridge because I drank them all last week,
There's nothing on TV
And the rain's still leaking through,
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues.
There aint nothin no,
There aint nothing no,
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues
Oh yes I've got 'em and I can't shake lose,
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues
There aint nothing gonna shake away my blues
There aint nothing gonna take away my blues

Shine A Light On Me

I have been praying, asking "Lord, take me eyes",
To see you is to love you,
So Lord, make me blind.
I have been running from you for some time,
For to know you is to love you,
So Lord, take my mind.
And come one, shine a light
Come one, shine a light on me
And come one, shine a light
Come one, shine a light on me
I know you'll be gone in the morning,
Shine a light on me.
I have been living alone for a while,
And I miss you, Lord I wish you
Would help me find peace of mind.
So I just keep praying, saying "Lord, make me blind",
For to see you is to love you,
Please Lord, take my sight.
And come one, shine a light
Come one, shine a light on me
And come one, shine a light
Come one, shine a light on me
I know you'll be gone in the morning,
Shine a light on me.

Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
My girl has a dream - she's a hot pin-up queen, but her dreams are just never enough,
'Cos she wants to be everything that she's seen in the films that she watched growing up,
But I tell her:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Now, she loves a romance, but we only slow dance in my bedroom to the tune of a hum.
I'd give my girl both the moon and the world if it hadn't already been done.
She wants to have it all,
She wants to have it all,
She wants to have it all,
But I tell her, I say:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
She's got it all planned - her house and her Mustang - My girl's got expensive taste,
Now life's not a movie but she could have fooled me, my girl will never change.
She wants to have it all, but I tell her I say:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.

I Hardly Know You

Well I was hanging with this girl and just before I hit the road,
She said "tell me what it is you want to be when you get old",
I said "happy, baby, to be happy's all I want".
The lady wore a dirty smile and spoke just like a dream,
She said "baby, baby, baby, won't you spend one night with me?
And we can shake honey, we can shake it all night long".
There's something in the water,
There's dancing in the streets,
There's sex on every corner,
I don't love you girl, I hardly know you.
There's violence in the bedroom,
There's lovers but no love,
There's cigarettes and drunken sex and pretty girls
Oh my my my my
This girl she spoke of stars and called us "footprints in the sand"
I said, "hey baby, I'm no footprint, I'm the singer in a guitar band"
And she just laugh out,
Yeah she just laughed and laughed.
There's something in the water,
There's dancing in the streets,
There's sex on every corner,
I don't love you girl, I hardly know you.
There's violence in the bedroom,
There's lovers but no love,
There's drunken sex and loneliness,
Please, pretty girl, be mine mine mine mine.
So I've been hanging with this girl and just before I hit the road,
She said, "tell me what you want to be when you get old"
And I said "happy baby, to be happy's all I want"
Happiness baby, to be happy is all I want,
Happy baby, To be happy's all I want.

Let's Run Away To Arcady
03:15

Hear my goodbyes,
The storm has come - It whistles past my bedroom door.
I shiver, lonely in it's palm.
You don't come here anymore.
I feel Arcady is calling me to seek my shelter,
Let's run away.
My feet are cold,
I'm getting old - Another coffee keeps me bright.
Desperately I cling to your wings through the storm
As you take flight.
I feel Arcady is calling me to seek my shelter,
Let's run away.
I feel the need to up and leave in search of something better,
Let's run away.
I feel Arcady is calling me to seek my shelter,
Let's run away.
I feel the need to up and leave in search of something better,
Let's run away.
Let's run away.
