I see you looking over your shoulderTell me who do you think’s out thereYou’re reaching for your four leaf cloverBut baby there ain’t no luck down thereI swear that there’s no heart in this cityIt’s here the slogan reads "Do your time" everybody’s doing their sentence It’s just there ain’t […]
What more can I do?There’s nothing I haven’t triedStill it’s so hard for her to noticeI’ve tried hard to be straightThere’s nothing left I can sayIf only she would look my way She don’t know me, she don’t knowShe don’t see me, she don’t careShe can’t hear me, she can’t […]
I’ve been staring at the pageFor what seems like daysI guess I put this one off for a whileDid I see a tear fall from your eyesOr did you laugh so hard that you criedWhen I served my secrets on a silver tray to youHey now, I guess the night’s […]
The clock strikes tenOut on the streets againI been looking for something to please me since I don’t know whenOut on the dark side of townAnother rumbles gone downAnd life on the high side isn’t what this boys about She’s got something I want man, it’s something I needIt takes […]
Happiness, it’s been no friend to meBut forever after ain’t what it’s all cracked up to beYeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasyBut I lost my faith when I hit realityI don’t need no Guru to tell me what to doWhen you feeling like a headline on yesterday’s […]
This ain’t a song for the broken-heartedNo silent prayer for the faith-departedI ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowdYou’re gonna hear my voiceWhen I shout it out loud It’s my lifeIt’s now or neverI ain’t gonna live foreverI just want to live while I’m alive(It’s my life)My heart […]
A whiskey bottle comforts meAnd tells me not to cryWhile a full moon says a prayer for meI try to close my eyes But the night’s there to remind meOf the guns and the early gravesThe ghosts appear as I fall asleepTo sing an outlaw’s serenade Dyin’ ain’t much of […]
I feel I’m burning up with feverBut the fire’s feeling really good tonightAnd it’s alrightI’m gonna see Sahara Jack and Suntan SallySomebody tells me even Tommy’s coming down tonightIf Gina says it’s alright I’m gonna see those SenoritasLying under the sunThey’re greasing it upWith know I want to be their […]
This romeo is bleedingBut you can’t see his bloodIt’s nothing but some feelingsThat this old dog kicked up It’s been raining since you left meNow I’m drowning in the floodYou see I’ve always been a fighterBut without you I give up Now I can’t sing a love songLike the way […]
When I promised you,That I would be strong,It was not a lie,It was just that I was wrongThere’s no way I’d ever guess,I’d be so defenseless*I have walked against the wind,I find shelter in my friends,There’s some comfort in the wine,If I can sleep it buys me time,I can duck […]
Kids ’round here look just like stickstrade old licks with a beat up sixI just smile and catch the grooveGot the girls all dressed in blackserious as heart attacksTakes a little bit of getting used toThe old man with the whiskey stainslost the night and forgot his nameHis poor wife […]
Now that you’re gone, I can see whatWas going on and how you liedWhen you’d said you’d never love again Friends telephone and they sayYou weren’t out alone last nightCan’t you see that this broken heartIs killing me Another night is fallingAnd now my heart is calling you back to […]
On the streets where you live girls talk about their social livesThere made of lipstick, plastic and paintAnd you don’t see it in their eyesAll your life, all you ask "When’s your daddy gonna talk to you?"But you were living in an other worldTryin’ to get a message through No-one […]
You know your favorite pair of shoesThe ones with the hole in the toe you won’t loseYour favorite record that’s all scratched and usedBut still you love to play when your feeling blue That faded rose, that’s all dried outThose Bukowsky poems we couldn’t live withoutYour high school picture, when […]
My friend had a girlfriendShe liked her drinkSucked the head off her lagerThrew me a winkAnd she said to me "Buddy, what’s your sign?" I was off I was runnin’Knocked me clean off my feetHer tongue kept on sellingWhat any blind man could seeI just kept on stumbling through the […]
