SURE
FEELS GOOD
by
Paul Jones/Gary Fletcher
Feelin’
rough from last night, I had a few friends in
I
still got up early, had to work on that engine
My
T-Bird is my joy & my pride
When
I lift up the hood and get my hands inside
That
sure feels good (sure feels good)
Good
to me (sure feels good)
Under
the hood (sure feels good)
Where
I like to be (sure feels good)
Saturday’s
my day to play an’ I’m free (sure feels good)
I’ve
finished on the engine, start workin’ on the shine
Don’t
stop for lunch, I keep watchin’ the time
Maybe
it’s hunger make my stomach tight
Or
maybe it’s ‘xcitement ‘cause I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the night
‘n
it sure feels good (sure feels good)
Either
way (sure feels good)
Ooh
good (sure feels good)
Come
what may (sure feels good)
Somethin’
tells me this is gonna be my lucky day (sure feels good)
Finished
on the car, start working on myself
Got
to look good and be a picture of health
Bottle
of suntan, ice cream suit
Find myself somebody real cute
An’
it sure feels good (sure feels good)
Cruisin’
around (sure feels good)
Sure
feels good (sure feels good)
Oooh,
so good (sure feels good)
I’ve
got the soft top down (sure feels good)
Tape
deck blastin’ out some rockin’ sounds (sure feels good)
Now
it’s early Sunday morning, what went wrong?
I
think I might have come on too strong
I
opened the door, I said "Get inside,
Let
yourself slide across the hide"
And
you’ll sure feel good (sure feels good)
She
said "No" (sure feels good)
I
said "I think you should" (sure feels good)
She
said "No go" (sure feels good)
Something
tells me it’s time for me to blow (sure feels good)
But
I still feel good (sure feels good)
Out
on the street (sure feels good)
But
that dream baby (sure feels good)
I
just ain’t gonna meet (sure feels good)
Well
I guess I’ll try my luck again next week (sure feels good)
‘cause
I sure feel good (sure feels good)etc.

LEAVING
Lyrics
& Music by Dave Kelly, additional music by Pete Filleul & Tex
Comer
Leaving,
I never thought it would end this way
Leaving,
my bag is packed now all I have to do is walk away
Leaving
nothing left to say, can’t stay
Wouldn’t
do any good to stay anyway, I’m leaving
Crying,
there’s nothing more inside
I’m
all cried out from crying for the love that’s been denied
Crying
so many bitter tears
I
still taste the salt on my face from so many years of crying
You
never knew just how much I loved you
I
don’t know just what you loved in me
Now
to both our cost
What
we once had found is lost
The
only road is to set each other free
But
can this ever be
Grieving,
gotta leave this pain behind
Walk
on out, step out of that life and slowly ease my mind
The
changes as we move from day to day
Changes
so small we don’t take them on board
Until
today …. I’m leaving
THE CAT
by Gary Fletcher/Hughie Flint/Paul Jones/Dave Kelly/Tom McGuinness
Said she had a headache, feeling under par
When I spied her with a rider in a big fine car
What's it all about when a woman acts like that
Didn't know who to kill - him her me or the cat.
Walking drinking thinking got home about four
Saw his Lincoln - lights blinking parked outside my door.
What's it all about when a womam acts like that
Didn't know who to kill - him her me or the cat.
It's the last straw [repeat x 2]
And it finally broke the camel's back
I didn't know who to kill etc etc
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT ??

COLD
EMOTIONS, FROZEN HEARTS
by
Dave Kelly/Gary Fletcher
He
could never say that she wants to hear
She
no longer does the little things that he holds so dear
They
both provide, but both just take
They
never share, that’s their mistake
Cold
emotions and frozen hearts
They're
strangers
living
together apart
They
ask no questions, get told no lies
Yeah,
the shutters are down, no light in their eyes
Bound
till death by that ancient vow
But
realise they’re dying now
Oh
from those
Cold
emotions and frozen hearts
They're
strangers
living
together apart
But
as summer comes, as the seasons change, they’ll both be swept away
The
flood water’s going to burst that dam that they built day by day
And
they’ll be nothing left once the waters flow
like
the spring tide beating down that door of those
Cold
emotions, frozen hearts
Cold
emotions, living token parts
Cold
emotions, broken hearts
They're
strangers
living
together apart
So
all you people, if you have a love
You
keep it warm, keep it cooking, keep that temperature above
Thirty
two degrees before the freezing starts
The
frost on the windows, the icy blasts and
recriminations
and frozen love
Cold
emotions, frozen hearts
Cold
emotions, living token parts
Cold
emotions, broken hearts
They're
strangers
living
together apart |
DON’T
BUY THE POTION
by
Gary Fletcher
Standing
on the corner, watching the world go by
Tall
dark & handsome, you don’t even have to try
A
success with the ladies, big with the boys
His
threads are expensive, he’s in executive toys
Waitin’
in the shadows, standing on up the street
are
the family connections, the men you never meet
Short
term investment, a long term smash
No
credit, no cheques, it’s all done in cash
Your
toe in the water, won’t make a splash
But
there’s no turning back, it’s a one way dash
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
You’ll
be sorry you ever did
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
You’ll
be sorry you ever did
Stealin’
& a-dealin’, rockin’ & reelin’ all night
Duckin’
& divin’, tryin’ as hard as you might
You’ll
get there the first time, you don’t take a lot
To
go for the second’ll take more than you’ve got
You’ll
never get back to where you wanna be
You
ain’t gonna make it and you just can’t see
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
You’ll
be sorry you ever did
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
Worse
thing you ever did
Don’t
buy the potion
Arrest
the motion
Don’t
buy the potion
Worst
thing you ever did
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
Don’t
buy the potion
You’ll
be sorry you ever did

FIND
YOURSELF ANOTHER FOOL
by
Tom McGuinness/Lou Stonebridge
Chloe
Songs Ltd.
Find
yourself another fool
Ain’t
gonna be round to be treated cruel
Here’s
what you gotta understand
Get
yourself another man
Find
yourself another fool
Find
yourself another clown
Ain’t
gonna be here to be pushed around
Search
this land from east to west
You’ve
had the best, now try the rest
Find
yourself another fool
I
used to smile all the while
Till
I met you
Now
I’m cryin’ all the time
I’d
better forget you
‘cause
you’re messin’ up my mind
Just
wasting precious time
Have
I got news for you
Our
love affair is through
Go
find yourself another fool
Ain’t
gonna be round to be treated cruel
Now
I can’t hear you when you call
My
bag is packed, it’s in the hall
Find
yourself another fool |
THE
GREAT CRASH
by
Tom McGuinness
Chloe
Songs Ltd.
Champagne
on the table
Cigar
in my hand
Everyone
could tell
I
was a mighty mighty man
Folks
all want to know you
when
your pocket’s filled with cash
But
when the money’s spent,
bills
are overdue,
it’s
hard to find a friend
who’ll
even stand a beer for you
No-one
want to know you
when
your fortunes take a crash
Take
care of the money that you make
‘cause
all too soon it’s gone
Beware
of those friends that want to take
every
hard-earned cent that you’ve won
When
you’re on the rise
folks
can’t do enough
When
you’re on the slide
times’ll
get real tough
No-one
wants to know you
when
your paper money turns to ash

VELOCITY
& LOVE
by
Dave Kelly
I’ve
been driving with the blues
Been
surfin’ the radio trying to avoid the news
Keep
that foot hard to the floor
I’m
drifting the bends, right on the limit
‘til
my tyres won’t take any more
Big
yellow moon lighting my way
and
I’m driving in the groove
Miles
fly by under my wheels
Bringing
me home, bringing me home to you
I
keep thinking ‘bout the words she said
No
matter how fast I drive I can’t drive them out of my head
This
road I’m travelling is wild and bleak
But
nowhere near as bleak as I felt
When
she told me what she told me last week
Said
there’s nothing I can do to help your loneliness
Ain’t
nothing you can do to help mine
We’ve
been here before and I don’t know
If
we’re gonna make it, if we’re gonna pull through this time
Ain’t
it funny what love can do
Just
when you think you’ve got it down
It
turns right around on you
Thoughtless
actions, unkind words
The
sound of my wheels is the sound I live with
And
the loneliest sound I’ve heard
Watching
for cops, only stopping for gas
Heaven
and earth I’ll move
Big
yellow moon, keep lighting my way
Still
driving in the groove
Keep
those miles flying by under my wheels
I
gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back to you

WHAT
DO YOU WANT?
by
Gary Fletcher/Paul Jones
What
do you want, do you want from me?
What
do you want? Tell me, tell me please
I
ain’t got too long, What do you want?
I
ain’t gotta lot of cash, I guess it can’t be that that you need
An’
in any case you look as if my money would be chicken feed
Oh
now please don’t try to tell me you wanna be my friend in need
What
do you want? Get it off your chest
What
do you want? As if I hadn’t guessed
I
ain’t got too long, What do you want?
I
know my conversation’s snappy but I guess it ain’t the social kind
An’
I think it’s wishful thinking to think you might be thinking of my
mind
‘n
in any case you wouldn’t even know it if it jumped you from behind
What
do you want that I can provide?
What
do you think you shouldn’t be denied?
I
ain’t got too long, Baby what do you want?
I
get the kind of feeling you’ve been planning us a meeting some time
But
I’m kinda confused at what you want me to do, give me a sign
My
question’s still waiting an answer, You’re side stepping like a
dancer
What
do you want?
What
do you want, do you want from me?
What
do you want, tell me please
I
want to be alone, what do you want?
What
do you want? Get it off your chest
What
do you want? As if I hadn’t guessed
I
ain’t got too long, Baby what do you want?
I
ain’t got too long, Baby what do you want?
I
said I ain’t got too long, tell me what do you want?

SO
BAD
by
Gary Fletcher/Paul Jones/Dave Kelly/Tom McGuinness/Rob
Townsend
Now
the alarm clock sure is busy
It
sounded so piercin’,
interruptin’
one helluva dream
Wish
you were here to share it
But
I got to grin & bear it
Mornings
can be so mean
I
get to work so hazy
My
boss says I’m lazy
But
I’m crazy, baby, barkin’ mad
I
wanna hug you
I
wanna squeeze you
I
wanna bug you
I
wanna tease you
I
wanna love you
I
wanna please you so bad, so bad
Now
I’m crazy ‘bout the feelin’ when
I’ve
had a hard day’s wheelin’
An’
I’m on my way back to you
We
could be out a-moochin’
Or
stay home hoochie-coochin’
I
don’t mind what we do
I’ve
gotta get to first base
Gotta
have that first taste
Baby
it’s a natural fact
I
wanna hug you
I
wanna squeeze you
I
wanna bug you
I
wanna tease you
I
wanna love you
I
wanna please you so bad, so bad
You
think that you’re the greatest
I’m
tellin’ you the latest now
I’m
no. 1 on her list
We’ve
got to get this straight
Before
it gets too late
You
had your shot and you missed
So
come & tell us baby
No
perhaps or maybe
Is
it him or me that you’ll have?
I
wanna hug you
I
wanna squeeze you
I
wanna bug you
I
wanna tease you
I
wanna love you
I
wanna please you
Turtle
dove you
I
wanna seize you
I
wanna love you
I
wanna please you so bad, so bad

SWEET
TEMPTATION – THAT WAY LIES THE BLUES
by
Benny Gallagher/Tom McGuinness
Chloe
Songs Ltd.
I
know what you’re thinking
I’m
thinking it too
This
thing’s got to stop
or
we’ll end up acting like fools
You
say your apartment
is
just two blocks away
If
that’s where my heart went
I’d
be tempted to stray
Such
a sweet temptation
but
I’m gonna refuse
‘cause
I learnt my lesson –
that
way lies the blues
Such
a sweet temptation
Now
my heart stands accused
I
don’t mind confessing
That
way lies the blues
When
I was a younger man
I
could never say no
I
was led by my heart
wherever
it wanted to go
Can’t
say I got wisdom
but
I know I got pain
Tonight
might be right
Tomorrow
I’d be guilty again
Such
a sweet temptation ……

ULTIMATUM
TIME
by
Gary Fletcher/Paul Jones
These
things you’re doin’ you’re doin’ to please your ego
An’
I ain’t taken in when you say you want to be my amigo
You’re
so proud of your crowd, all your friends all talkin’ so loud
Well
you can keep all of them but I tell you this, you’d better let me go
It’s
ultimatum time come around again
If
you’re competing with the women
I’m
going to gamble with the men
This
fussin’ & fightin’ is getting’ to be a treadmill
I
don’t know what’ll cure it but I don’t think hidin’ under my bed
will
I
tried to do all I knew but I still ain’t got a clue
What’ll
help what you do? You think that takin’ all of my bread will
Now
it’s ultimatum time come around again
If
you’re competin’ with the women
I’m
going to gamble with the men
Look
out of that window, I think it’s nearly twilight
An’
your silence tells me I don’t have to ask Am I right?
You
can be what you please but if you want to stay with me
You’ve
got one more chance left, you’d better straighten up and fly right
Because
it’s ultimatum time come around again
If
you’re competing with the women
I’m
going to gamble with the men
It’s
ultimatum time come around again
If
you’re competing with the women
I’m
going to gamble with the men

HELP
ME
by
Gary Fletcher
I’ve
been waiting for the good times to come on in & roll
I’ve
been waiting for the good times that the future might hold
I’ve
been holding on to what we’ve got
Sometimes
I think that ain’t a lot
I’m
so scared it’s as good as it gets
I
guess I’m alone, just don’t know it yet
I’ve
been praying that the bad times are way behind me now
I’ve
been saying those old bad times can’t hurt me no how
Thinking
like that well it sometimes helps
I’m
just trying to make some sense
I’ve
tried so hard to give you your space
Well
I guess we live together in a separate place
Help
me, give me your hand
Hold
me, can you understand
that
I need you & I’ll do what I can
to
keep us together
and
make some sense of what is meant by love
I’ve
been hanging onto old times when you & I were young
I’ve
been hiding in the old days, together we were fun
I
realise how much we’ve changed
It’s
taken time and so much pain
There’s
things that hurt me, I know they hurt you too
But
we’re too long together now, there’s too much to lose
Help
me, give me your hand
Hold
me, can you understand
that
I need you & I’ll do what I can
to
keep us together
and
make some sense of what is meant by love

WATCHING
THE FIRE
by
Dave Kelly
I’m
just watching the fire burn out
Sitting
watching the fire burn out
As
the embers die, some sparks fly to the sky above
And
the years go by I still thrill to your sweet love
Tired
and watching the fire burn out
I’m
sitting here in the dark
Watching
the last few sparks
After
making love with you, it leaves me with a warm glow
Love
as we do, I’m never gonna let it go, just let it flow
Sitting
watching the fire burn out
And
Oh can you ever know just what you mean to me
And
I can’t let this time pass by without I show the need in me
Although
I know you’re reading me
So
I’m watching the fire glow gold
In
the morning grey ashes cold
Will
be swept uot of the door and scattered on the garden
But
that’s no metaphor, our hearts will never harden
(I
never promised you a a rose garden)
I’m
happy watching the fire burn out

WHO’S
RIGHT, WHO’S WRONG?
by
Gary Fletcher/Paul Jones
Do
you realise it’s getting’ light?
We
spent the last five hours tryin’ to decide (Who’s right & who is
wrong?)
Before
this affair drops out of sight
Can
you see any room for a compromise? (Who’s right & who is wrong?)
I
won’t sleep a wink tonight
until
I know who’s wrong and who’s right
So
tell me who’s right and who is wrong?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
How
long can this go on?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
I’ve
got this feelin’ inside, a need to be justified
I
know you feel the same, got to have someone to blame
We’re
out o’ wine & we’re out o’ smokes
My
eyes are bloodshot, my brain is a hoax
The
air’s full of ifs, the ashtray’s full of butts
An’
I’ve still got this feelin’ in my guts
It’s
down deep inside, a need to be justified
I
know you feel the same, got to have someone to blame
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
How
long can this go on?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
Now
tell me who’s right and who is wrong?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
How
long can this go on?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
How
long can this go on?
Who’s
right and who is wrong?
