1.Every Picture Tells A Story
Lyrics：Rod Stewart／Ron Wood
Music：Rod Stewart／Ron Wood
Spent some time feelin' inferior
standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
but I came out looking just the same
Daddy said, 'Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
to a woman that'll spend your bread'
So I got out
Paris was a place you could hide away
if you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
when all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on
Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
at a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no
I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her
I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
to help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don't it
2.Cut Across Shorty
Written：Wayne P.Walker／Marijohn Wilkin
Now a country boy named Shorty
and a city boy named Dan
had to prove who could run the fastest
to wed Miss Lucy's hand
Now Dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
But Shorty musta had that something boys
that can't be found in books
Chorus：
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across'
That's what Miss Lucy said
'Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
You know it's you that I wanna wed'
Wait a minute
Now Dan had been in training
about a week before the race
He made up his mind old Shorty
would end in second place
You know Dan with his long legs flying
he left Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine
(Chorus)
But Shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
about the turtle and the hare, you know that thing
when Danny crossed over the finish line
he found Shorty waiting there
(Chorus)
It's you that I wanna wed, no no
And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed
It's you that I wanna wed
3.MAGGIE MAY
Written：Rod Stewart／Martin Quittenton
Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway
Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days
4.Lost Paraguayos
Lyrics：Rod Stewart／Ron Wood
Music：Rod Stewart／Ron Wood
Darling I hate to tell you but I think I catching a cold
Put another chair on the fire bring the bottle over here
I feel I getting old
I like your laugh and a hot romance
and your orn y sense of humor
but if it rains again like it did today
I gonna have to leave a little bit sooner
Got to get me some South America sun
Honey don even ask me if you can come along
Down at the border you need to be older
and you sure don look like my daughter
Your ridiculous age, start a state outrage
and I l end up in a Mexican jail
Darling please don cry you know I wouldn tell you no lie
Look over there
Oh my God don look now
but it appears to be raining again
Get upstairs pack my book of prayers
Honey hurry I catching pneumonia
I gotta move while I in the mood
or I l disappear into that wall
Darling please don curse
it really couldn be any worse
Say I a sun fanatic but it dark in your attic
and your cat sleeps over my head
I know I not a football star
but I wanna little better than that
So I much obliged for the pure white ride
and a cup of tea every morning
I l say goodbye, look your man in the eye
you know I wouldn tell you no lie
So after all, I'll see you in the fall
on a brand new day, brand new way
Goodbye honey, goodbye honey
Goodbye honey, it ain't funny
Goodbye honey, I know it ain't funny
5.That's All Right
Lyrics：A.Croup
Music：A.Croup
That's all right my mama, that's all right for you
That's all right my mama any old way you do
But that's all right, well that's all right
Well that's all right my mama
any way that you wanna do
My mother she did tell me
Papa did tell me too
Son, that woman that you're foolin' with
she ain't no good for you
I'll be leaving here tomorrow
leaving here for sure
you ain't gotta be bothered with me
hangin' 'round your door
6.Twistin' The Night Away
Lyrics：Sam Cooke
Music：Sam Cooke
Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in New York way
where the people are so gay, twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, twistin' the night away
He's dancing with a chick in slacks, she's moving up and back
Oh man, there ain't nothing like twistin' the night away
Feel much better
Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's dancing with an older queen
dolled up in her diamond rings, twistin' the night away
Man you ought to see her go, twistin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', everybody's doing great
They're twistin' man, twistin', they're twistin' the night away
Twistin', you know they're twistin', twistin' the night away
They're twistin', twistin', man twistin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' trouble on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old twistin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go
Twistin' the night away
7.Sweet Little Rock And Roller
Lyrics：Chuck Berry
Music：Chuck Berry
Nineteen years old and as sweet as she could be
All dressed up like a downtown Christmas tree
Dancin' and hummin' a rock 'n' roll melody
She's the daughter of a well respected man
who taught her how to jerk and understand
then she became a rock 'n' roll music fan
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
Shoulda seen her eyes when the band began to play
and the famous singer sang and bowed away
When the stars were gone she screamed and yelled hurray
Ten thousand eyes were watchin' them leave the floor
Five thousand tongues are screaming out 'More' and 'More'
About fifteen hundred waiting outside the door
Sweet little rock 'n' roller, sweet little rock 'n' roller
Her daddy doesn't have to scold her
Her partner can't hardly hold her
Because she never gets any older
Sweet little rock 'n' roller
8.Sailor
Lyrics：R.Wood
Music：R.Stewart
You ain't gonna get me honey no way
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain
escaping from my wedding day
I heard the bells ringing in the local church
the ceremony's nearly under way
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne
was driving everybody out of their brains
But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve
and I pleaded I was being framed
'Sailor show me which way to go'
I screamed out loud
'Sailor show me which way to go'
Such a deadly silence
due to my defiance
the wedding ground to a halt
Said I changed my mind
ain't no use in your trying
so her brother punched me in the throat
her mother got hysterical
the bitch was cynical
father's in the corner drunk
Picking myself off the floor
I ran to the door
damned if I was skippin' on my way
'Sailor show me which way to go'
You should have heard the noise
Said 'Sailor show me which way to go'
So keep clean girlie
find a man that's truly
gonna love you from dusk till dawn
Keep your front door key
don't give him up for me
'cause tomorrow I may be gone
You see, your wouldbe keepers
( ) all night creepin'
nobody gonna change in there
Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life
so let's renew it when the year runs out
Sailor show me which way to go
Sailor show me which way to go
She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust
9.Let Me Be Your Car
Lyrics：Bernie Taupin
Music：Elton John
Vocal：Rod Stewart／Elton John
I may not seem your ideal
when you look into my eyes
I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes
I'm not the custom made size
But baby let me take you
out on the highway for awhile
I'll show you where the man in me
is when he doesn't hide
He's cruisin' in the fast lane
stuck behind the wheel
Jekyll and Hyde going on inside
when I'm your automobile
And let me be your car for awhile child
shift me into gear and I'll be there
fill me up with five star gasoline
I'll be your car I'll take you anywhere
Don't you know I can't dance
I don't dig it, I can't see it at all
You say I'm just a specimen
and baby I can crawl
My physique just don't look
the way the physiques really should
But then again I've got an engine
underneath my hood
When I'm cutting up the road
with a sports car on my tail
Frankenstein's inside my mind
and the wind's inside my sails
10.An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down
Lyrics：Rod Stewart
Music：Rod Stewart
Did you ever stand and shiver
while looking at a freezing river
Have you froze to the bone
with just a coat to keep you warm
to keep you from a howlin' wind
to keep you from a howlin' wind
Now listen
Have you perished in the drizzling rain
Tried to light ... a lift but all in vain
With your sock on your head
and that old coat on your back
to keep you from the drizzlin' rain
oh to keep you from the drizzlin' rain
Goodbye
One more time
Did you sleep in a graveyard when it snowed
Laid your head on a .....
With the Times on your face
and that old coat on your back
That kept you from a-withering away good God
It just kept you from a-withering away
I know
And did you ride a lift on a steam train
Now listen
Had the misfortune not to pay your fare
Thrown off the next stop
Thrown in the doorway of a shop
With that coat to keep you from the wind
Oh that old school coat to keep you from the wind
And that ain't all
Have you had some good friends on the road with ya
who'd stand by you through thick and thin
Here's to Kevin and Ben, Susie and Len
And that coat which never lets you down
It never, never, never lets you down
It never, never, never lets you down
That old coat which never lets you down
That old coat which never lets you down
Kept me from the drizzlin' rain
And oh, kept me from the drizzlin' rain
11.Hard Road
Lyrics：G.Young
Music：H.Vanda
My mama 'n' papa told me son that you're just a fool
when I told 'em I was leaving home I was leaving school
So then in a couple of hours I found myself
heading down that southbound road
with everything I owned on my back
I carried such a heavy load
And it's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel down the line
And it's a hard, hard road down the line
Well I wanna tell ya friends
that it's good to be a traveling man
'Cause I'm doing what I want to
Living just the best that I can
Nobody putting rings around my neck
To put me in a pigeon hole
I've got my dog and my radio
to listen to some rock 'n' roll
And it's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel
It's a hard, hard road that I travel down the line
And it's a hard, hard road down the line
