Heart's Done Time
Met a woman, she had a man
Couldn't help it I had a plan
Right around midnight he was gone
Saw her red light she left it on

And oh my heart's done time
And oh now she's mine

If there's a reason for these chains
It's like we suffer to ease the pain
Now I got this feelin' inside of me
My heart's in jail and I can't break free

And oh my heart's done time
And oh now she's mine
Now she's mine
Now she's mine
Now she's mine
Now she's mine

And oh my heart's done time
And oh now she's mine
Now she's mine
Now she's mine
Now she's mine
Magic Touch


Somebody better call a doctor, doctor
Or wake me up with a shove
I'm gonna knock you off your rocker, rocker
Cause I think I'm in love
I tried to get a message to ya
But you walked the other way

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burnin' slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't let go, yeah

Don't need no wedding with a shotgun, shotgun
So don't you push me too far
Don't try to take me for a fool child, who child
Do you think that you are
You really got it coming to ya
It's gonna come as no surprise

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now I can't let go
Take me easy, take me slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't let go
Ooh, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't let it go.

You never know what you got
Till they take it away
I'm comin' ready or not
Gonna get you some day.

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now I can't let go
Feel the fire burnin' slow
I got a habit and I'm back for more
Your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now I can't let go
Feel the fire burnin' slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't, can't, can't let you go
Rag Doll


Chorus:
Rag doll, livin' in a movie
Hot tramp, Daddy's little cutie
So fine, they'll never see ya
Leavin' by the back door, man
Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby won't you do me
Like you done before

I'm feelin' like a bad boy
Mmm, just like a bad boy
I'm rippin' up a rag doll
Like throwin' away an old toy
Some babe's talkin' real loud
Talking all about the new crowd
Try and sell me an old dream
A new version of the old scene
Speak easy on the grape vine
Keep shufflin' the shoe shine
Old tin lizzy do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery.

Chorus

Yes I'm movin', yes I'm movin'
Get ready for the big time
Tap dancing on a land mine
Yes I'm movin', yes I'm movin'
Old tin lizzy, do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery.

Rag doll, livin' in a movie
Hot tramp, Daddy's little cutie
You're so fine, they'll never see ya
Leavin' by the back door, man.
Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby won't you do me
Baby won't you do me, baby won't you do me
Like you done before, ooh ooh.

Yes I'm movin', yes I'm movin'
Get ready for the big time
Get crazy on the moonshine
Yes I'm movin', I'm really movin'
Sloe gin fizzy, do it till you're dizzy
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery.

Chorus twice
Simoriah


Walkin' the line of a razor's edge
Take it as far as she goes
Slice of the sky on a silver wedge
Higher and higher we go, let's go

Ladies in black put a spell on me
Feels like my head is going round and round
Round and upside down
Ladies in white ain't my cup of tea
So be it, I need it
Long legs, big eyes
Ooh, she drives me crazy.

Oh, Simoriah
Oh, Simoriah

Countin' the eyes of a dragonfly
Callin' on dreams from within
She knows the way and she makes me high
So be it, I need it
Long hair, blue eyes
Ooh, she drives me crazy.

Oh, Simoriah
Oh, Simoriah
Dude (Looks Like A Lady)


Dude looks like a lady (4 times)

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong but you know it's all right
That's right

Back stage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody says
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
Tried to blow me away

Dude looks like a lady (4 times)

So never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord imagine my surprise

Dude looks like a lady (4 times)

(Baby let me follow you down)
Let me take a peek dear
(Baby let me follow you down)
Do me, do me, do me, all night
(Baby let me follow you down)
Turn the other cheek dear
(Baby let me follow you down)
Do me, do me, do me, do me.

Ooo, what a funky lady
She like it, like it, like it like that
Ooo, he was a lady.

Dude looks like a lady (8 times)

Du-du-du-dude looks like a lady (4 times)
St. John


John was bad
He gave it everything he had
John he prayed
For all the people ever made
John was cool
He never did no after school

Late at night when he praised the Lord
He laid his hands down upon the bloody sword

John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you

But every night when he praised the Lord
He laid his hands down upon the sword

Lay down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down your bloody sword

John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you

Late at night when he praised the Lord
He lay his hands down upon the bloody sword

Laid down upon the sword
Down, down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword
Gettin' down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword
Laid it down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword
Late night TV roared

John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
Hangman Jury


Me and my old lady sittin' in the shade,
Talkin' about the money that I ain't made
Singin' o boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track

And if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses stood
Singin' o boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track

Drank so much hooch
It made my eyes be gettin' blurry
They say I nailed her to the wall
A stitch in time don't mean a thing
No hangman jury could make me crawl
Cause I'm a poor boy
Dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track
Oh

Whacha do with a gun that's loaded
Shot her dead when her heart exploded
Tell me baby now d-dontcha worry
Like lying to the hangman jury

I swear I didn't know that .45 was loaded
In fact my memory ain't too clear
That's not to say she didn't get what she deserved
Least that's the way it looked from here
Boy when you line the track a lack a
Hey boy when you line the track a lack a
Hey boy when you line the track

Oh, my love came tumblin' down, yeah
Oh, when love come tumblin' down
Oh, (let's get outta here) when love come tumblin'

And every night, she'd take her thing into the city
And in the morning make her bed
Cause if I'd taken all her real nitty gritty
I smack her right upside the head
Boy, dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy, dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy, dontcha line the track

Oh, when love came tumblin' down, yeah
Oh, when love come tumblin' down
Oh, when love come tumblin'

Poor boy sweatin' in the hot summer night
Hangman waitin' for the early mornin' light
Singin' hey boy dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track
Hey boy dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track

Well, if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses done stood
Singin' hey boy dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track
Hey boy dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track
Girl Keeps Coming Apart


She's right peculiar
She'll try and fool ya
But the girl keeps coming apart

She's so appealing
Right off the ceiling
Yeah, the girl keeps coming apart

What did I tell ya
She buy and sell ya
'Cause the girl keeps coming apart

She's so affected
I'm so rejected
And the girl keeps coming apart
Don't, don't, don't, don't,
Don't, don't, don't, d-d-d-don't, don't let it get me down
Don't let it get me down
Down, down, down, down

She's just a screamer
A nightmare dreamer
Yeah, the girl keeps coming apart

She's like a call girl
Loose ends and all girl
But the girl keeps coming apart

White lace and leather
She's so together
But the girl keeps coming apart

I feel sedated
Boxed up and crated
'Cause the girl keeps coming apart
Don't, don't, don't, don't,
Don't, don't, don't, d-d-d-don't, don't let it get me down
Don't let it get me down

So there she was
Buns up and kneelin'
I was wheelin' and a dealin'
My ace in the hole so to speak
Angel


I'm in love, yet I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the crying that I do is for you
I want your love, let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough, I put away my pride
With your sweet love, I've suffered and I've seen the light, baby

You're my angel, come and save me tonight
You're my angel, come and make it alright

Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feeling inside
Yes, it's true, loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love, I'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can I do? I'm sleepin' in this bed alone

Baby, you're my angel, come and save me tonight
You're my angel, come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby

You're my angel, come and save me tonight
You're my angel, come and make it alright
You're my angel, come and save me tonight
You're my angel, come and make it alright

Come and save me tonight (5 times)
Permanent Vacation


I got a letter from a friend the other morning
He say it's hot down by Montego Bay
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away

I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and, Lordy, don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why

Chorus:
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I got to get away.

I got a sister, man, she really got a pin head
She think she kinky but she can't get straight
She say she's livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight, yeah

Chorus

My, my, my, my, my!

I gotta take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be cummin' down the Cayman Brack
I gotta hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah, I got to cut me some slack

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shine
I really need it, really need it, really, really need it, really...
I'm Down


(Lennon/McCartney)

You're telling lies thinking I can't see
You can't cry 'cos you're laughing at me

Chorus:
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (Down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down

Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same damn thing happens every day

Chorus - Wow!

We're all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself"

Chorus - Wow.........ow!

Well don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Well don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Well don't you know that I'm down (Down on the ground)
Don't you know that I'm down, down, no, no ,no, ya!

No don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Oh don't you know that I'm down (Down on the ground)
Don't you know I'm down, down (Ya.......ya!)
No! No! No! Ya! Ya, I'm down!
