1.Bright Eyes
Written:batt
Is it a kind of dream
Floating down on the river
Following the river of death down stream
Oh is it a dream?
There's a fog on the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody knows where you can go
Or what does it mean
Oh, oh is it a dream
Bright eyes
Burning like fire
Bright eyes
How can you close and fail
How can the eyes that burned so brightly
Suddenly turn so pale?
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow
Reaching over the hill
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody knows where you can go
And where do you start
Oh oh, into the dark
Bright eyes
Burning like fire
Bright eyes
How can you close and fail
How can the eyes that burned so brightly
Suddenly grow so pale
Bright eyes
2.Can't Take My Eyes Off You
Written:crewe/gaudio
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At last love has arrived
And i thank god i'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that i stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
Darling you feel like i feel
And i don't have to know if it's real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when i say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down, i pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that i've found this day
So let me love you baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At last love has arrived
And i thank god i'm alive
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
I love you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when i say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down, i pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that i've found this day
So let me love you baby
Let me love you
3.Charles Windsor
Written:mccarthy
Charles windsor who's at the door
At such an hour who's at the door
In the back of an old green cortina
You're on your way to the guillotine
Here the rabble comes
The kind you hoped were dead
They've come to chop, to chop off your head
Hundreds of bound big business men
Hacks from 'the sun,' military men
So many rich men weep in despair
On and on into trafalgar square
Here the rabble comes
The kind you hoped were dead
They've come to chop, to chop off your head
These once peaceful streets
The scenes of revenge you had not wished to see
Revenge is so sweet to those who have never known anything sweet
Here the rabble comes
The kind you hoped were dead
They've come to chop, to chop off your head
4.The Drowners
Written:anderson/butler
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother,
Well he writes the line wrote down my spine
It says 'oh do you believe in love there?'
So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir we drown, stop taking me over
Won't someone give me some fun?
(and as the skin flies all around us)
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners
Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, sir we drown,
Stop taking me over!
5.It's So Easy
Written:guns n' roses/arkeen
I see your sister in her sunday dress
She's out to please
She pouts her best
She's out to take
No need to try
She's ready to make
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me
Cars are crashin' every night
I drink n' drive everything's in sight
I make the fire
But i miss the firelight
I hit the bull's eye every night
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
Yeah it's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me
So easy
But nothin' seems to please me
It all fits so right
When i fade into the night
See me hit you
You fall down
I see you standin' there
You think you're so cool
Why don't you just
Fuck off
Ya get nothin' for nothin'
If that's what ya do
Turn around bitch i got a use for you
Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do
And i'm bored
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me baby
It's so easy, easy
When everybody's tryin' to please me
So easy
But nothin' seems to please me
It all fits so right
When i fade into the night
So come with me
Don't ask me where 'cause i don't know
I'll try ta please you
I ain't got no money but it goes to show
It's so easy
6.Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Written:bacharach
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So i just did me some talkin' to the sun
And i said i didn't like the way he' got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there's one thing i know
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me
Cause i'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because i'm free
Nothing's worrying me.
7.Rock And Roll Music
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
I've got no kick againt modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why i go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man await a sax
I must admit the have a rockin' band
Man they were going like a hurricane
That's why i go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Way down south they gave a jubilee
The jockey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to hear a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep rockin' that piano
So i can get some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
Rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
8.Stay With Me
Written:stewart/wood
In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause i'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is rita
Cause your perfume smelling sweeter
Since when i saw you down on the floor
Guitar
Won't need to much persuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about
Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear you're a mean old jezebel
Lets go upstairs and read my tarot cards
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me
So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know i'll only kick you out the door
Yea i'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best cologne
Just don't be here in the morning when i wake up
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
Oh no, get down, wooo
9.Take The Skinheads Bowling
Written:lowery/krummenacher/nolla/segel/lisher
Every day, i get up and pray to jah
And he decreases the number of clocks by exactly one
Everybody's comin' home for lunch these days
Last night there were skinheads on my lawn
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
I has a dream last night, but i forget what it was
I had a dream last night about you, my friend
I had a dream--i wanted to sleep next to plastic
I had a dream--i wanted to lick your knees
I had a dream--it was about nothing
10.Theme From Mash
through early morning fog i see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realise and i can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And i can take or leave it if i please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card of some delay
So this is all i have to say
That suicide is painless
It brings so many changes
And i can take or leave it if i please
The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it bring
Suicide is painless
It brings so many changes
And i can take or leave it if i please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And i replied oh why ask me
That suicide is painless
It brings so many changes
And i can take or leave it if i please
11.Train In Vain
Written:strummer/jones
Say you stand by your man
Tell me something i don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around
So all alone i keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that i can say
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Now i got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things i can do
But without your love i won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing i can do
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
12.Under My Wheels
Written:bruce/dunaway/ezrin
The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun
I'm driving right up to you, babe
I guess that you couldn't see, yeah yeah
But you under my wheels
Why don't you let me be
'cause when you call me on the telephone
Saying take me to the show
And then i say, honey, i just can't go
Old lady's sick and i can't leave her home
The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
Yeah yeah
I got you under my wheels
Yeah yeah

The telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
I'm driving in my car now
Anticipating fun
I'm driving right up to you, baby

But you was under my wheels, honey
Why don't you let me be, yeah yeah
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
I got you under my wheels
Yeah yeah
13.Velocity Girl
Written:gillespie/beattie
Here she comes again
With vodka in her veins
Been playing with a spike
She couldn't get it right
Splendour in silver dress
Velocity possessed
The world was hers again
It fell apart again
I don't need anyone to hurt me
No, not anyone at all
Cause my so-called friends have left me
And i don't care at all
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
14.What's My Name
Written:strummer/jones/levene
What the hell is wrong with me?
I'm not who i want to be
I tried spot cream an' i tried it all i'm crawling up the wall!
What's my name naaaame...naaaame....naaaame....
I tried to join a ping-pong club,
Sign on the door said all full up!
I got nicked, fighting in the road
An' the judge didn't even know
What's my name
Dad got pissed so i got clocked
Couldn't hear the tannoy so he lost the lot
Offers mum a bribe through the letter box
Drives you fucking mad
What's my name
Now i'm round the back of your house at night
Peeping in the window - are you sleeping tight?
I laugh at your locks with my celloid strip
An' you won't know who came
What's my name
15.Wrote For Luck
Written:happy mondays
I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try nothing hard
There's nothing else you can do
You can try
But you can't chain me
I can sniff, bend, stand and bend and roll over
I don't breathe
I just dance
There's more than one sign
And it's getting less
When you're wet
You're getting dryer
You used to speak the truth
But now you're a liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
I wrote for luck
They sent me you
I sent for juice
They sent me poison
I hold the line
You form a queue
Try nothing hard
There's nothing else you can do
And when you're wet
You're getting dryer
You used to speak the truth
But now you're a liar
You used to speak the truth
But now you're clever
And when it's hot
You start to melt
Cos you're not made of cheese
You're made of chocolate
And when it's cold
You tend to cry
Keep on piling out
And not putting by
