ON THE BOARDS 


Someone has taken my day, 
Turned it to night, 
Who turned out the light? 
But hatch from the things, 
I don't know what it means, 
But it was too much to bear. 
If I had taken my time, 
Counted my steps, 
I might have no regrets, 
You might still be here yet, 
And not in my dreams, 
It's too late to care. 

Somehow the world is a gone, 
Please give me the keys, 
And open the door, 
Where is the floor? 
I don't know what it means, 
It's too much to bear. 

It's too much to bear.
 


IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE, IT'LL HAPPEN AGAIN 


I felt this wave might knock me to the ground, 
But I don't think that I could take one more round, 
A look from you would send me to the floor. 
It's happened before, it'll happen again, 
It's happened before, it happened again. 

You only call to see me when I'm out, 
A guilty conscience nags you I have no doubt, 
You've got the balls not to call anymore, 

It's happened before, it'll happen again, 
It's happened before, it happened again. 

Another blast would send me to outer space, 
I'm on the floor am I out of place? 
And as I ask myself have I heard this beore? 

It's happened before, it'll happen again, 
It's happened before, it happened again
 



RAILWAY AND GUN 


Keep your railway to the sun, 
Just leave any time you choose, 
Tell me what you hope to find, 
I'll tell you what you've got to lose. 
Throw away the map, 
That way, you can't find your way back, 
So before you leave, 
You better find out where it's at. 




DAUGHTER OF THE EVERGLADES 


Were you raise by the river 
Down by the low, low land 
Where the air is dark and sinister 
In the nigh there's no safe place to stand 
Hid in the reeds are eyes that peek, voices i can't understand 
Flamingos flying endlessly 
To the silent sky 
Daughter of the Everglades 
You never made it clear 
Daughter of the Everglades 
If you want to be here 
Child of the river 
I never saw your tears 
Well you looked like your mama 
Before you walked, you swam 
Learnt to makes snake tails stew 
From your daddy, a crazy talkin' fisherman 
In this place there is no law, the river makes all the rules 
What they are I found ot 
When I came back to look for you 
Daughter of the Everglades 
Why did you bring me here? 
Daughter of the everglades 
My love has turned to fear 
Child of the river 
Let me feel you near 
Well you laughed in the 
But I new after a year 
That you'd cry in the city 
I should have not brought you here 
So far from the Bayou, down in the low. low land 
Don't know why you left me 
But now I understand 
Take me back to the river 
Down in the smoky ground 
Where snakes crawl you don't cheat 
By the river you live by now 
I the swell of the river, the river sails so proud 
I should have gone there with you 
But now they tell me you have drowned. 
Daughter of the Everglades 
I can feel you near 
Daughter of the Everglades 
I know I'll find you hear 
Child of the river 
I can't see for tears 
Daughter of the Everglades 
I want ot feel you near 
Daughter of the Everglades 
I must find you here 
Child of the river 
I can't see for my tears 


SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON 


He was the seventh son of a seventh son 
People claimed that he could cure anyone 
He had the power there is no doubt 
From his healing hands the light shone all about 
No magic potion or mystic words, 
His eyes stared at you, no sound was heard 
People came from north and south 
To see this faith healing man, see what he was all about 
Cured the young and cured the old 
Soon the whole nation knew his name 
Seventh son of a seventh son 
Is it to late 
Now that I've come? 
Seventh son of a seventh son 
Is it to late? 
You know why I've come 
Outside his door where queues ten deep, 
Soon this faith healing man could get no sleep. 
On the street they milled outside 
Soon this man had to spend his days inside 
He cured a woman who could not speak 
And you know the blind child? Now he can see 
Never asked for payment or took anything from them 
Faith healing man was not the same 
One day a man with a big cigar 
Drove into town in a long, long silver car. 
He made a deal, said thin boy would go far, 
Said he'd make this faith healing country boy into a movie star. 
The seventh son of a seventh son 
He moved away from this small town 
To the city he soon came 
He looked up in lights, saw his name. 
See all the people who knew him well, 
As though he was still here, the stories they all tell 
About the time he made the lame boy walk 
But know you have to pay hear him talk 
One day he returned from the city of lights 
You know something had happened there, his powers had died 
But know he says he won't cure no more 
Faith healin' man you have returned 
Seventh son of a seventh son 
Is it to late? You know why I've come 
Seventh son of a seventh son, 
To be cured 
Well half went up with those big city lights 
Seventh son of a seventh son 


KEYCHAIN


I need a keychain 
to lock up all this trouble 
I need a fast train 
leaving on the double 
I'm going some place 
that's hard to follow 
Got that feeling 
that i should be long gone 
I'm as bad as i can get 
I'm playing Russian roulette 
I need a keychain 
baby right now 
I'm playing no games 
this ain't no water pistol 
Ain't it insane 
there's no chance of missing 
No one holds me 
you ain't got my number 
If you see me 
just run for cover 
Well i'm as wild as i can get 
I'm playing Russian roulette 
I got no keychain 
,baby, right now 
Well I'm in a guided missile 
and i'm lost in the sky 
I won't be returning untill 
things feel right 
I got a poison pen letter 
Ain't that all i need 
some pretty woman's 
trying to make a ghost of me 
I got a keychain 
to lock up all my sorrow 
i need some fast plane 
I'm leaving in a hurry 
I'm going some place 
where you can't follow 
I got that feeling 
that i shouldn't be long gone 
I'm as mad as i can get 
i'm playing Russian roulette 
Need a keychain, baby, of mine


CRADLE ROCK 




If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock 
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot 
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three 
But when I want to see you, baby 
How come you lock your door on me?
If I was a baby you wouldn't let me fall 
If I was an outlaw you wouldn't have me caught 
If I was a tiger you wouldn't have me caged 
If I was somebody else you would act your age
You'll miss out if you leave me out of your day and night 
I will try to make you see and hear what I got to say 
It's all about me and you, alright
If I was a blind man then you'd make me see 
If I was a deaf man you'd give me hears to hear 
If I was a lame man you'd give me legs to walk 
But if you were true to me, baby 
You would listen when I talk
If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock 
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot 
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three 
But when I want to see you, baby 
How come you lock your door on me? 


WHO'S THAT COMING


Tell me who's that coming 
Not walking or running 
Cool as the mountain breeze 
Well, that song she's humming 
Could make my guitar start strumming 
Automatically
Tell me who's that speaking 
Make my heart start beating 
Really wanna make it pound 
Well, those words she's saying 
Could make even the devil start praying 
On his knees down upon the ground
She's always had just what it took 
To read me like I was an open book 
There's something burning deep inside of me 
And she's the only one who can set me free
Tell me who's that coming 
Not hitching or thumbing 
Looking straight at me 
Well, I sure am gunning 
You know she's the one and 
I guess she'll always be
Well, tell me who's that coming 
Not walking but running 
Cool as the mountain breeze 
Well, that song she's humming 
Could make this guitar start strumming 
Automatically
She's always had just what it took 
To read me like I was an open book 
There's something burning deep inside of me 
And she's the only one who can set me free 


PUBLIC ENEMY NO.1


Well she's nothing much 
but she looks like a gangster's moll 
Well there ain't no doubt about it 
I know she ran with Mad Dog Coll 
She's the driver of the getaway car 
Public enemy No.1 
She's fact and she's fiction 
All wrapped up into one 
Sound, lights and vision 
Street car collisions and all 
We got the G-men on a mission, 
They can't catch up at all 
Won't you have that motor twitchin' 
for Public enemy No.1 
Well the marked man unmarked car 
Waiting out in the cold 
Got his work cut out 
Well a travel guide to a shooting star 
is the only clue we left about 
It's a battle of wits, a psyche-out 
Synchronised tension's taking hold 
It's a battle of wits, a psyche-out 
Synchronised tension's taking hold, taking hold 
B-girl oh B-girl 
Be my permanent alibi 
Well you got to keep your eyes peeled 
stay alert at the wheel tonight 
Keep the key in the ignition 
we won't get no remission this time 
Won't you have that motor twitchin' 
When i come running by
