I’m On the Run You’re quick to judge the way I live my life You’re just a victim to your wicked device I say I see black you tell me to see white I say I see dark you tell me just to see the light Whisky in my pocket and I’m on the run got fire in my heart gonna let it burn Try my luck on the sunset strip and find myself a harlot with a stiff upper lip The only card for which I got time is the credit card I use to cut my line Take my money you can take my life you’re two sharp sides of a switch blade knife You ask why I prefer a whisky haze It ain’t ideal but its better than countin’ days No pleasure cruise I don’t enjoy You’re two sides of a counterfeit coin Whisky in my pocket and I’m on the run got fire in my heart gonna let it burn Try my luck on the sunset strip and find myself a harlot with a stiff upper lip The only card for which I got time is the credit card I use to cut my line Take my money you can take my life you’re two sharp sides of a switch blade knife

Shit, I’ve Fallen in Love Again Many times I tried to hit the ground running But inside all I feel is the burning yeah Don’t care for me Too blind to see TO see what’s happening to me Well its the same old story Its the same old song and dance No difference between now and then Its the same old fucking story Same old song and dance Shit I’ve fallen in love again All I try to do’s a bit of easy livin’ But outta me the whores make a killin’ I don’t care for you Or what you try to do What you try to do to me Well its the same old story Its the same old song and dance No difference between now and then Its the same old fucking story Same old song and dance Shit I’ve fallen in love again And I get sick of the same old face Couldn’t give a fuck about this place So let be be Just gotta get outta here I just need a way to leave Well its the same old story Its the same old song and dance No difference between now and then Its the same old fucking story Same old song and dance Shit I’ve fallen in love again

Livia 05:28
Livia They say that cocaine is the rich man’s drug Have you sayin’ somethin’ stupid like I’ve fallen in love A little glass of whisky down the QMU And suddenly your head starts gettin’ to you If I was sober I’d see you wasting my time See that I’d been hung out to dry on a line Take a little look inside and you might find You thought you’d lost your heart but you just lost your mind Livia you’re driving me insane Chase my tail I’m playin’ a loser’s game Climbin’ walls cos I can’t understand Looks like I’ve been dealt the dead man’s hand Eight a.m my head’s like the hammer from hell Half alive or half dead oh I can’t tell Sunlight comin’ in like a bolt through my brain And my heart’s still goin’ like a runaway train If I was sober I’d see you wasting my time See that I’d been hung out to dry on a line Take a little look inside and you might find You thought you’d lost your heart but you just lost your mind Livia you’re driving me insane Chase my tail I’m playin’ a loser’s game Climbin’ walls cos I can’t understand Looks like I’ve been dealt the dead man’s hand Lookin’ back now I feel a bit like a fool I let you walk over me without you tryin’ to You were a part of my heart but now you’re just a line on my face I’m movin’ on up and gettin’ outta this place If I was sober I’d see you wasting my time See that I’d been hung out to dry on a line Take a little look inside and you might find You thought you’d lost your heart but you just lost your mind Livia you’re driving me insane Chase my tail I’m playin’ a loser’s game Climbin’ walls cos I can’t understand Looks like I’ve been dealt the dead man’s hand

Cold Bitch Blues Why’d you try and understand what’s goin’ on in my head Told you you’d be better off lovin’ someone else instead Why’d you try to do it were you afraid of bein’ alone Well honey I realised that I’m better off on my own Why’d you do what you do Had me doin’ whatever you wanted me to Left me like some kinda fool Left me with them old cold bitch blues You as good as told me that I couldn’t play the guitar And that I waste my time wishin’ upon them stars You don’t like my music or any of the clothes I wear Why didn’t you tell me sooner that you just didn’t care Why’d you do what you do Had me doin’ whatever you wanted me to Left me like some kinda fool Left me with them old cold bitch blues What will I be doin’ when you find another man I’ll be sittin’ home alone cryin’ tryin’ to understand Maybe I’ll just go back to my dirty old ways No point livin’ clean now that you have gone away Why’d you do what you do Had me doin’ whatever you wanted me to Left me like some kinda fool Left me with them old cold bitch blues

I Know You’re Hurting Tonight I can’t stand seeing you hurt I can feel the cuts but I can hear you breathing I know you are torn inside and I’d hold back the tides just to see you healing I’ll help you to be strong when you feel you can’t hang on I’ll dry your eyes I’ll always be around when you’re feeling down you don’t have to hide Oh I can see in every tear you cry I know you’re hurting tonight And I will be there when the sun goes down to make everything alright To be by your side when you feel alone I’ll hold you through the night Inspiration’s what you are to me so don’t hold all the hurt inside I know you think it’s your fault I can tell you that it’s not and I want you to know That I will never lie you’re an angel in my eyes and I want it to show Let me take some of the pain let the sunshine dry the rain and there’s nothing I won’t do Through the hell of denial just to see your smile and you know I’ll be true Oh I can see in every tear you cry I know you’re hurting tonight And I will be there when the sun goes down to make everything alright To be by your side when you feel alone I’ll hold you through the night Inspiration’s what you are to me so don’t hold all the hurt inside

Collette 02:24
Collette Hey we got ourselves a situation Sitting next to you and I’m stuck for conversation Scared if I look in your eyes I’ll say something wrong Maybe I’ve just been like this too long Once there was I time That if I looked into your eyes Well my words would not escape me I would say I’d say hello Collette I’d say hello Maybe I would ask you what you’re thinkin’ Maybe I’d take you out drinkin’ But I can’t even find the words To ask you what your number is Cos I know exactly what’d happen if I did Once there was I time That if I looked into your eyes Well my words would not escape me I would say I’d say hello Collette I’d say hello Sometimes I think what I’d say to you Sometimes I think of what we could do But I know I’ll never know what it’s like to be your friend Cos of where I am this has to end Once there was I time That if I looked into your eyes Well my words would not escape me I would say I’d say hello Collette I’d say hello

Stick or Twist Would you write me a line if I read you the time what’s it to be stick or twist Say you’ll be mine if I cut you a line and whisper to you I never miss Sell me your soul for another hold and watch as your love becomes lust The cards that you hold so close to your chest will they match my royal flush Stick or twist Have you had enough Hit or miss Call my bluff Will you fall to your knees for the ace up my sleeve and put your money down Could you look in these eyes that see through your disguise do like what I’m dealin’ out Could it possibly be could you see through me the card at the bottom of the pack Or are you tryin’ to forget with some Russian roulette call me is it red or black Stick or twist Have you had enough Hit or miss Fold or call my bluff Would you write me a line if I read you the time what’s it to be stick or twist Say you’ll be mine if I cut you a line and whisper to you I never miss Would you call twenty one with the sound of the gun would you still play straight down the line With a diamond to start would you play with my heart or is it see ya some other time Stick or twist Have you had enough Hit or miss Call my bluff

Father 03:34
Father Father I don’t mean to hurt you, I hate to let you down Mother I want to see no more tears in your eyes But I can’t say why Brother in my heart I miss you I only wish you well I know that you only wish the same for me Why can’t I see When the stars align In the dead of night In one dream of mine I know you’ll be there one more time Father I think of you, a hero in my eyes Mother I always remember seeing you smile And I’ll walk the miles Brother hold on don’t waste a thought on me Just maybe one day I might see the light you pray I do That I might find me When the stars align In the dead of night In one dream of mine I know you’ll be there one more time Father please be there one last time

Becky Rose 02:32
Becky Rose Becky Rose Dungeon girl Becky Rose Rockin’ world We drove from Alabama to sweet Louisiana late nights drinkin’ whisky and rye Six in the morning sun up is dawning and head’s tellin’ me I’ve died Drivin’ down the freeway feelin’ like a new day where’d I lay my head last night Playin’ an under’s disco down in San Francisco rock n roll and it’s alright Becky Rose Dungeon girl Becky Rose Rockin’ world Last high’s fallin’ cocaine’s callin’ get me back to feelin’ real Friday night fightin’ Saturday like lightenin’ gettin’ on my wheels of steel High as a kite on a crystal clear night it’s time to hit the open road What I’m sayin’ six string playin’ and carryin’ a heavy load Becky Rose Dungeon girl Becky Rose Rockin’ world Becky Rose Dungeon girl Becky Rose Rockin’ world
