You're My Fire

Subway crawling nowhere bound
Snow is falling all around
Frozen to my bones am I
Nothing circulates inside
Stop and go and stop again
Headlines rant about Iran
Keep my head down blizzard comes – can’t wait to get back home
You’re my fire – you light my way
I feel the heat – and know I’m safe
Without you I’m nothing but
A frozen man stuck in a rut
You turn my winter – to a summer day
Walking down the empty street
Red light shining at my feet
Limousine just passed me by
Partygoers look outside
People huddle in their door
Buy a smoke for a dollar more
Make a sweater from a rag -
Pass the bottle in the bag
You’re my fire – you light my way
I feel the heat – and know I’m safe
Without you I’m nothing but
A frozen man stuck in a rut
You turn my winter – to a summer day
Light me up - send me to the sky
Make me fly – higher than the night
Never say goodbye
Never ask me why
See the city lights above
Glitter brightly saying love
Conquers isolation hate -
Open arms don’t hesitate
You’re my fire – you light my way
I feel the heat – and know I’m safe
Without you I’m nothing but
A frozen man stuck in a rut You turn my winter – to a
Summer day

It Takes a Strong Man
03:10

It takes a strong man
To love a strong woman
To stand up beside her
When the storm is coming
When the tempest howls
And the wild winds blow
You got to take her by the hand
And never let her go
You can be
The man she wants
The man she needs
Beside her
________
Now if love were easy
Like Sunday morning
It could fade away
Without a warning
But times are changing
Yesterday is gone
You got to step it up
Or she’ll be moving on
_____
It takes a strong man
To love a strong woman
To stand up beside her
When the storm is coming
When going gets rough
And you can’t find your way
Pick yourself up
To fight another day
You can be
The man she wants
The man she needs
Beside her
_______
She don’t want no quickie
No rolling in the hay
When love is cheap
She’ll just throw it away
She ain’t no fish that you
Catch with a hook
Or a red pen number in your
Telephone book
_________
It takes a strong man
To love a strong woman
You gotta be strong
You gotta stay cool
You gotta belong to her
Don’t be no fool
You gotta be strong
You gotta stay cool
You gotta belong to her
Don’t be no fool
It takes a strong man
To love a strong woman
To stand up beside her
When the storm is coming
When your knees are weak
And your back is breakin’
Never give up
And think your love’s wasted
You can be
The man she wants
The man she needs
Beside her
You gotta be strong
You gotta stay cool
You gotta belong to her
Don’t be no fool
You gotta be strong
You gotta stay cool
You gotta belong to her
Don’t be no fool

Rosaline
Took the train
To the end
Of the line
Starting walking
To the river
Where she knew
She’d see a sign
Rosaline Rosaline
Roam no more
And stay a while
Rosaline Rosaline
Won’t you please
Give me a smile
Rushing water
In her mind
Told her stories
Out of time
Forgotten love
An ancient heart
Showed the way
To heaven’s part
Rosaline Rosaline
Roam no more
And stay a while
Rosaline Rosaline
Won’t you please
Give me a smile
The stars above
Welcome you
Welcome you
Rosaline
The water dark
Embraces you
Embraces you
Rosaline
As I wander
Cross the hills
Where the purple
Darkness fills
At my back
The wind is cold
And her name is
Still untold
CHORUS
Rosaline Rosaline
Roam no more
And stay a while
Rosaline Rosaline
Won’t you please
Give me a smile
The stars above
Welcome you
Rosaline
The water dark
Embraces you
Rosaline
Goodbye…Rosaline

Lucky

I was down and out
Had nothing but doubts
The world was cold and I
did what I was told
Then I saw your face
In that lonely place
My battered soul got a
Second chance to roll
My rotten fortune turned around
The goodness I had lost I found
I’m feeling lucky you’re my girl
I’m gonna tell it to the world
I’m feeling lucky you’re my girl
I’m gonna tell it to the world
I ain’t never said
What was in my head
It was all too hard cause I
didn’t know where to start
I found my/self
And got a little help
My fortune smiled baby
I was reconciled
I don’t care who knows it now
With gold and silver you endow
I’m feeling lucky you’re my girl
I’m gonna tell it to the world
I’m feeling lucky you’re my girl
I’m gonna tell it to the world
I can’t give you everything
But I got my little song to sing
I’m feeling lucky you’re my girl
I’m gonna tell it to the world
I’m feeling lucky you’re my girl
I’m gonna tell it to the world

You call your limousine
Go to any club you want
And when you’re feeling hungry
You buy the restaurant
Women come right to your door
Champagne and cocaine too
You never lift a finger
Don’t have to tie your shoes
Welcome to the one percent
You got women, song, and wine
It don’t matter how much you’ve spent
Cause brother you’re doing fine
You made it to the one percent
Still you’re wanting more
Your house it is a golden pent
With a lock on every door
You got double-barrelled lattes
And Beluga on a plate
Got a banker for buddy
And a model for a date
Flying in your private jet
The seats are leather clad
You live in blissful ignorance
Of a world that’s going mad
Welcome to the one percent
You got women, song, and wine
It don’t matter how much you’ve spent
Cause brother you’re doing fine
You made it to the one percent
Still you’re wanting more
Your house it is a golden pent
With a lock on every door
How much pleasure can one man seek
How much food can one man eat
How many cards can one man bet
How much sex can one man get
How much gold can one man wear
How many lions can one man dare
How many putts can one man sink
How much booze can one man drink
Welcome to the one percent
You got women, song, and wine
It don’t matter how much you’ve spent
Cause brother you’re doing fine
You made it to the one percent
Still you’re wanting more
Your house it is a golden pent
With a lock on every door
Welcome to the one percent

Pumpkinhead
03:22
|

When I was a little boy
My mother took away my toys
Said now its time to be a man
This evil you must understand
No matter where you go in life
You must remember my advice
Pumpkin Head is comin’ back
He’ll drop you dead right in your tracks
Pumpkin head is coming back
Crawlin down the railroad track
Big white teeth go click and clack
Got his brain in a gunny sack
At midnight when the moon was bright
His ghostly face came to my sight
He looked at me and gave a grin
Said boy you’re never gonna win
I said it ain’t my time to go
So put away your gallows pole
Go back into your hollow tree
You got no power over me
Pumpkin head is coming back
Crawlin down the railroad track
Big white teeth go click and clack
Got his brain in a gunny sack
Oh no what shall I do
Oh no my poor life is through
The end is coming near
The gallows man is here
When pumpkin head knocks on my door
He wants to feast on human gore
I’ll hit him with my two-by-four
And roll his head across the floor
Pumpkin head is coming back
Crawlin down the railroad track
Big white teeth go click and clack
Got his brain in a gunny sack
Oh no what shall I do
Oh no my poor life is through
The end is coming near
The gallows man is here
Pumpkin head is coming back
Coming back, coming back

She Traded Me In
03:31
|
|||
Don’t ask me about my love
The girl I once held close
She’s not here any more
I’m feeling so morose
All the signs were positive
I thought we had a good thing
The good times kept on rolling
I felt just like a king
Ooh what a fool I was!
She traded me in
For another guy
A newer model
To keep her satisfied
Sent me a text
That said goodbye
It was a pity
How I cried
Once I was her number one
Walking arm in arm
We glowed with newfound love
I was smitten by her charms
I tried to make her happy
For my moment in the sun
Then I got her message
Saying baby I’ll be gone
Ooh what a fool I was!
She traded me in
For another guy
A newer model
To keep her satisfied
Sent me a text
That said goodbye
It was a pity
How I cried
I tell my/self
It don’t matter
She’s out of mind and out of sight
But her memory
Is like a dream
That haunts me day and night
Nothing lasts forever
Is what the poets say
But as I walk the streets at night
I wish it weren’t that way
The other girls I meet
They try to make me smile
I tell myself to let it go
But it’s useless to deny
Ooh what a fool I was!
She traded me in
For another guy
A newer model
To keep her satisfied
Sent me a text
That said goodbye
It was a pity
How I cried
I got a choice
To either die
Or quit this lonely town
With its ghosts
Of the past
That only bring me down
I’m gonna hit
That road to---night
When she comes round
I’ll be out of sight
Where I’m bound
I’ll start a--gain
I’m gonna find somebody to love
Yes I’ll find somebody to love

Use It or Lose It
02:43
|

You treat me cold as ice
With a frozen arctic stare
I can’t get no reaction
You’re just playing solitaire
I think somebody hurt you
To make you turn away
How much longer can you
Pay for yesterday?
Use it or lose it
That’s the way it’s gotta be
Make it or break it
That’s a guarantee
Use it or lose it
Baby don’t you know
Give it or take it
Tell me yes or no
C’mon and give me something
A curse or kiss
Take me in your loving arms
Or throw me in the abyss
What’s it gonna take
For you to come alive
Smash the lock that keeps you
From being by my side
Use it or lose it
That’s the way it’s gotta be
Make it or break it
That’s a guarantee
Use it or lose it
Baby don’t you know
Give it or take it
Tell me yes or no
No one lives forever
You get no second chance
Miss it once it’s gone
It’s a cruel circumstance
So take me while you can
Before I walk away
I got a restless heart
But never pay to play
Use it or lose it
That’s the way it’s gotta be
Make it or break it
That’s a guarantee
I ain’t gonna quit
Until you come around
And see the love I got, yes
I’m bayin’ like a hound
Don’t be so indifferent
To my tortured soul
You can lift me from my coffin
In this dirty hole
No one lives forever
You get no second chance
Miss it once it’s gone
It’s a cruel circumstance
Take me while you can
Before I walk away
I got a restless heart
But never pay to play
Use it or lose it
That’s the way it’s gotta be
Make it or break it
That’s a guarantee
Use it or lose it
Baby don’t you know
Give it or take it
Tell me yes or no
