Drinking with the Devil
I keep falling off that wagon
But it just keeps rolling on
One day I’m gonna stay, and not fall off again
Those wheels keep a rolling
Something’s gotta hold of me
It Hurts so bad that poison from within
That poison from within
Deep within my skin
That poison from within
Deep within my skin
I’ve been drinking with the devil
I’ve been drinking with my soul
I’ve been dancing with the devil
I’ve been dancing with my soul
It’s not easy befriending evil
Please god just set me free
Release these demons
Come on and set me free
Set me free, set me free
That’s all I wanna be
Set me free, set me free
That’s all I wanna be
I’ve been drinking with the devil
I’ve been drinking with my soul
I’ve been dancing with the devil
I’ve been dancing with my soul
N Now the years gone by, only memories in my mind
Those wheels still a rolling
And now I’m grey and old
Set me free, set me free
That’s all I wanna be
Set me free, set me free
That’s all I wanna be
I’ve been drinking with the devil
I’ve been drinking with my soul
I’ve been dancing with the devil
I’ve been dancing with my soul
Set me free, set me free
That’s all I wanna be
Set me free, set me free
That’s all I wanna be
I’ve been drinking with the devil
I’ve been drinking with my soul
I’ve been dancing with the devil
I’ve been dancing with my soul
I’ve been drinking with the devil
I’ve been drinking with my soul
I’ve been dancing with the devil
I’ve been dancing with my soul

Me and You
Where you been, what you doing?
Thoughts a racing through my head
Places that we’re going
All that we’ve done
Don’t want no other, oh no
Only you sweet lady
You, you’re like no other
Oh no
You, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
Lady
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
Lady
Dark clouds, a going away
Suns beaming through
Bathing in the meadows
Just me n you
Just me n you, Just me n you
Just me n you, Just me n you
Just me n you, Just me n you
Lady
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
You’re in my soul, you’re in my soul
Lady

Echoes
Don’t look at me that way
Or speak those words you say…….
Don’t size me up
Make sure you pay your dues
After what I’ve done for you…..
Don’t wind me up
I’m trying to start again
Allot of shit to mend………
Don’t take the mick
Cause the echo, in my head, my head
The echo, in my head
Is steaming red
Ye the echo, in my head, my head
The echo, in my head
Is steaming red
I’ve helped you through n through
And this is what you do……
You’ve wound me up
Don’t take advantage of
Our friendship cause……
I’ll lay you out
There’s nothing else to do
Except give you the shoe……
Don’t cross the line
Cause the echo, in my head, my head
The echo, in my head
Is steaming red
Ye the echo, in my head, my head
The echo, in my head
Is steaming red
Ye the echo, in my head, my head
The echo, in my head
Is steaming red
Steaming red.

More than this Town
As I leave this forsaken town
Yeah I’m going away
Death around the corner
Nothing left to say
Gonna get myself, on a jet plane
And leave for the land of dreams
Yeah the land of dreams
Not look back down my lonesome track
I’m not gonna stay
Not gonna
More than this town
More than this town
Drank to drown my sorrows
Now they’ve learnt to swim, learnt to swim
Startlingly violent, savage once inside
Compelling yet unmissable, blood stained eyes.
More than this town
More than this town
More than this town
More than this town
Broken dreams and failure, all left behind
Left behind
Rejection and the blues, all gone away
At the same time, find the real me ye
I don’t always understand myself
No no no
Now is the time, use that head of mine lord
More than this town
More than this town
More than this town
Not gonna stay no no no
I’m going away
I’m going away
Not gonna stay

Face to Face
I was driving round the town
Looking for a one eyed clown,
He was by the railtracks.
I know you’re not gonna win
So don’t be thinking nothing…
Down by the rail tracks
So come on and follow me
And tell me what you make of me
Down by the rail tracks
Went down the disco
Where I had my fun
Too many faces do I Care.
So I sent you down the stairs.
Went down the disco
Where I had my fun
Too many faces do I Care.
So I sent you down the stairs.
Now I’ve met you face to face
Get out of my fucking space
And you aint listened
I’ve told you once and I’ve told you twice
Then I’m not very nice
Let’s see what happens
Went down the disco
Where I had my fun
Too many faces do I Care
So I sent you down the stairs
Went down the disco
Where I had my fun
Too many faces do I Care
So I sent you down the stairs
Went down the disco
Where I had my fun
Too many faces do I Care
So I sent you down the stairs

Lost My Soul
Walking down this lonely road
I lost my soul
It’s time to make a move
Time to bust a groove
Cause I’m gonna take your soul
Before they dig a hole
I’ve, stole, begged and borrowed
And drowned in my sorrow
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
You you’re so pitiful
You’ve got no shame
Me I’m so merciful
I’ve gone insane
Cause
Tommy shot a copper with a gun
That’s his idea of having fun
So pick yourself up from the floor
Open up, another door
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move, ye
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Time to make a move
Ye

Start Again
Locked away for days
Don’t have nothing to say
Had to get in touch with my soul
Ask what my future behold, learnt I had to move on
Forget all the wrong I’ve done
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again
My self has been told
Fresh from my soul
Let your spirit free
Only you know your destiny
So step up to the mark
And make a brand new start
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again, Start again, Start again
My sorry friend
Start again

Heavenly Eyes
Never fall in love with a gospel singer….
Tonight in your smile
Look in your eye
Sensational
I’m looking at you
What shall I do?
So beautiful
We talk in the night
I’ve seen the light
So wonderful
So angel in my life
Look into these eyes
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Walking for hours
Talking for days
Delectable
You’re looking at me with those heavenly eyes
Remarkable
You make me feel this is unreal
Unreal
So angel in my life
Look into these eyes
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Tonight in your smile
Look in your eye
Sensational
I’m looking at you
What shall I do?
So beautiful
We talk in the night
I’ve seen the light
So wonderful
So angel in my life
Look into these eyes
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Walking for hours
Talking for days
Delectable
You’re looking at me with those heavenly eyes
Remarkable
You make me feel this is unreal
Unreal

Monday Morning Blues
The morning struggle
Today never seems to end
You’ve been seeing double
All you weekend millionaires
Time to come down
You’ve sure been around
Monday, Monday, Monday morning blues
You know that someday you’ll find your way
For that Monday, Monday morning blues
Back to the grind
With a messed up mind
Let me feel alive
Lose troubles inside
Burst that weekend bubble
Lift up from that struggle
Monday, Monday, Monday morning blues
You know that someday you’ll find your way
For that Monday, Monday morning blues
Monday, Monday, Monday morning blues
You know that someday you’ll find your way
For that Monday, Monday morning blues

Daylight Snobbery
Take a look, look around
Troubled souls looking down
You’re all fakes, fakes to me
That’s no way to be
It’s sad, sad to see
Really sad way to be
That’s not life for me
Life of snobbery
Daylight snobbery
That’s no life for me
Daylight snobbery
That’s no way to be
Daylight snobbery
That’s no life for me
Daylight snobbery
That’s no way to be
Take a look, look around
Troubled souls looking down
You’re all fakes, fakes to me
That’s no way to be
It’s sad, sad to see
Really sad way to be
That’s not life for me
Life of snobbery
Daylight snobbery
That’s no life for me
Daylight snobbery
That’s no way to be
Daylight snobbery
That’s no life for me
Daylight snobbery
That’s no way to be
Grew up mean
Grew up tough
Know when enough, enough
Had it hard fought on through
Fighting’s all that I knew.

Devil Woman
Tell me why
The angels in my eyes
Are always easy
But surely please me
Cause I can’t trust
All this lust
She’s a cheater, she’s a liar
No more, desire
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
The jealousy within me
Needs to be set free
It eats me up, up inside
Wondering where she’ll reside
She’s a cheater, she’s a liar
No more, desire
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
I took you all, all on
I’m not sorry for being unkind
I’ve lost it in the fucking mind
Please don’t trust me to be unkind
She’s a cheater, she’s a liar
No more, desire
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
Devil, Devil, Devil woman
Devil, Devil, Devil woman

Out of the Blue
Going back to, where I belong
Surround myself with, art and music
Away from the people that,
Drag me down, all the bullshit
Going back to, being mad
Life is music
At least I try
At least I try
At least I tried!
Everything ok? You don’t call me for no reason!
Did you say, what you doing?
Coming round, getting down…Tonight
You’re my world, everything around me
Pick you up, put you down…beside me
At least I try
At least I tried
At least I tried
I’m on my way
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
Can’t go forwards by going backwards
At least I tried
