1.Sandy
Lyrics:Springsteen
Music:Springsteen
Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight for I may never see you again
Hey Sandy girl my baby
Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stony faces left stranded on this
warm July
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like
Latin lovers on the shore
Chasin' all those silly New York virgins by the score
Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us
Those pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
Oh I mean it Sandy girl Oh my baby
Hey Sandy girl My baby
Sandy the waitress I was seein' lost her desire for me
I spoke with her last night she said she won't set herself on
fire for me anymore
Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin'
fortunes better than they do
For me this boardwalk life is through You ought to quit this
scene too
chorus
Hey Sandy girl Oh my baby
Hey Sandy girl My baby
2.I'm Down
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Shook my head out of dreams
Reality's calling
The early bird's been up all morning
but I've got no notion of moving from where I am
Though my legs won't move
I feel disabled
I'm on a shelf an article labeled
waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found
I'm down No one to hear me calling
I'm down No one to see me falling
I'm down
Had my ways
with days of sunshine
Life came easy it all fell in line
But then again I didn't realise
When you're used to one thing
it's hard to accept another
Like the woman who brought you up
well she ain't your mother
How do you cope
with a thing like that
chorus
I always thought it was my dad who went to war
Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall
My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago
Someone went through pain to have me
someone I should know
I'm down
I'm down
To the folks who brought me up
I'm not ungrateful
Kept the secret from me
they thought it was shameful
It hurt me so
to be the last one to know
Maybe someone's out there
looking for me
Left on their own
couldn't afford to clothe me
And I I don't even know my real name
chorus
I'm down
I'm down
I'm down
3.Daddy Don't Mind
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow
Headin' out to the picture show
Sweet innocence not yet 18
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Heavy chevy soft top down
One arm driver, the other arm around
Switched on hi fi rock'n'roll
Gunnin' the engine heading for the open road
Given strict instructions
Not to fall for no seductions
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Joe had no such orders
Gonna try and cross the border
Daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Sass makes the move she straightens her seams
Joe checks in the mirror he thinks he's James Dean
He pulls on over says he's got a flat
Sass is no fool she knows where he's at
chorus
She's had love and she's had kissin'
Knows what she's been missin'
No turnin' back for little Sass 'E' Frass
Will they be standin' side by side
if their love they cannot hide?
No turnin' back for little Sass 'E' Frass
Sass 'E' Frass and Joe 'D' Glow
never made it to the picture show
Sweet innocence thrown out the door,
she'll never be the same no more
chorus
Ooh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Ooh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
Ooh, daddy don't mind what daddy don't see
4.Draggin' My Heels
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
First at the gate post but the last one through
I hung around far too long for you
Left out the game left out the deal
Stupid of me to be draggin' my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels, heels
Time waits for no one and I wasted my time
Got to the crossroads but took the wrong sign
I'd go too far didn't know how she'd feel
Stupid of me to be draggin my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels
Oh oh oh draggin' my heels, heels
If I had the chance to go back again,
I wouldn't do the same
I learned by mistakes
I'd be on my knees I'd be there to please
I'd be anything you want me to be
You want to be
verse 1
heels, heels
5.The Air That I Breathe
Lyrics:Hammond/Hazelwood
Music:Hammond/Hazelwood
If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
6.Burn Out
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Jimmy's outside with his motor engine hummin'
Sent me along to see if you were comin'
Out onto the highway gonna break the city limits
Jimmy's gettin ready gonna put his foot in it
Soft shoe Louie drinkin with his floozy Sue
Got the invitation the burn out's due
I'd be a rebel when I'm good and ready
Headin for the bar
Tell Jimmy to cool it
But not to go too far
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
Louie and Jimmy didn't know about the plan
Cops out on the highway
gonna take the job at hand
Been hidin out for Louie gonna get him canned
Gonna catch him in the action
He's gonna wanna make a stand
Jimmy's impatient wants to burn on rubber
He's gotta wait for Louie
cause there ain't no other
The undisputed king of the road said 'Jimmy, I'm ready You
better shift your load'
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
C'mon and get it, boy
Louie and Jimmy's out to have a fight
Shakin hands with the man below
Stokin' out the flames
flames burnin' higher
One of them has gotta go
One of them has gotta go
Highway nine and they're starting to roll
Jimmy's hearts thumpin
Blood runnin cold
Louie looks over and gives a sly smile
Says look in your mirror boy
cops are behind
Get a move on Jimmy
You're fallin for the trap
There's only one winner
the loser takes the rap
Well, Bye bye Jimmy,
don't wait for me inside
I'm goin back to floozy Sue
and thanks for the ride
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
Burn out on highway nine
There's gonna be a burn out on highway nine
7.He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother(Live)
Lyrics:B.Scott/B.Russell
Music:B.Scott/B.Russell
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
8.Wiggle That Wotsit
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Wiggle
Wiggle that
Wiggle that wot
Wiggle that wotsit
Wiggle that wotsit
Shakin that shimmy
Bring it up to me
Ring a ding a ling me
Turn me on
Wiggle that wotsit
Shake it up shake it down
Serve me up another round
Rub a dub hug me
Turn me on
Lord you know how crazy it makes me
You turn my insides out
The pleasure in the pain is so excruciating
It makes me wanna shout
Give me a hard time
chorus
verse 1

chorus
You gonna blow my dynamo
My wheel's ain't gonna touch the ground
Heaven knows how I'm gonna cope with the situation
It makes me wanna shout
Give me a hard time

9.Love Is The Thing
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
in the end
Love is the thing
that brings you closer to a friend
in the end
Love, love, love
Love takes you back
to the first love you had
Remembering
They say you can't forget
your first taste of love
Memories
Love, love, love
Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
Don't try pretend
Love is the thing
that brings you closer to a friend
Don't try pretend

verse 2
10.Write On
Lyrics:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Music:Clarke/Sylvester/Hicks
Write on, even though there's no one listening to your songs
Write on
Shine on, get it together, let your light break through
Shine on, baby, shine on
Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Write on, for your fame and fortune will follow you, coming on
strong
coming on strong
Don't feel bad 'cos the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long til you're going out and slayin' 'em
Shine on
You're not the first, you won't be the last
to feel the frustration of a musical fast
Write on, baby, write on
Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling
Rock on, rock on
Find a man with a van, a back up band
who'll give you a hand on your one night stand
Rock on, baby, rock on
Give 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swayin in motion to a rhythmic potion
Rock on, baby, rock on
Music freaks and all those hustlers
hangers on, trying to make a con
Rock on
Don't sign on the line til you know it's all fine
It's your life baby, you got to give it time
Rock on, baby, rock on
verse 1
verse 3
verse 4
