Calling Elvis
Calling Elvis - is anybody home  Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone  Did he leave the building  Or can he come to the phone  Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone  Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well  Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel  Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel  Return to sender - treat me like a fool  Calling Elvis - is anybody home  Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone  Did he leave the building  Or can he come to the phone  Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone  Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan  You gotta tell him - he's still the man  Long distance baby - so far from home  Don't you think maybe you could put him on  Tell him I was calling just to wish him well  Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel  Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel  Return to sender - treat me like a fool  Calling Elvis - is anybody home  Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone  Did he leave the building  Or can he come to the phone  Calling elvis - I'm here all alone
On every street
There's gotta be a record of you some place  You gotta be on somebody's books  The lowdown - a picture of your face  Your injured looks  The sacred and profane  The pleasure and the pain  Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete  And it's your face I'm looking for on every street  A ladykiller - regulation tattoo  Silver spurs on his heels  Says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you  She threw herself under my wheels  Oh it's a dangerous road  And a hazardous load  And the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat  And it's your face I'm looking for on every street  A three-chord symphony crashes into space  The moon is hanging upside down  I don't know why it is I'm still on the case  It's a ravenous town  And you still refuse to be traced  Seems to me such a waste  And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet  And it's your face I'm looking for on every street
When it comes to you
If we can't get along we oughta be apart  And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart  Set me free - sign my release  I'm tired of being the villain of the peace  You been giving me a bad time  Tell me what I'd do  How come I always get a hard time  Honey when it comes to you  Sayin' things that you didn't have to  How come I always get a hard time  Honey when it comes to you  You only get one life - this I know  I wanna get my licks in now before I go  The fire of love is dead and cold  I gotta satisfy the hunger in my soul  And you been giving me a bad time  Tell me what I'd do  How come I always get a hard time  Honey when it comes to you  Sayin' things that you didn't have to  How come I always get a hard time  Honey when it comes to you
Fade to black
I wonder where you are tonight  You're probably on the rampage somewhere  You have been known to take delight  In gettin' in somebody's hair  And you always had the knack  Fade to black  I bet you already made a pass  I see a darkened room somewhere  You run your finger round the rim of his glass  Run your fingers through his hair  They scratch across his back  Fade to black  Well maybe it's all for the best  But I wish I'd never been lassooed  Maybe it's some kind of test  I wish I'd never been tattooed  Or been to hell and back  Fade to black
The bug
Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow  One step forward and it's back to go  You're standing on the throttle  You're standing on the breaks  In the groove 'til you make a mistake  Sometimes you're the windshield  Sometimes you're the bug  Sometimes it all comes together baby  Sometimes you're a fool in love  Sometimes you're the louisville slugger  Sometimes you're the ball  Sometimes it all comes together baby  Sometimes you're going to lose it all  You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad  Because you're gonna know lonely  And you're gonna know bad  When you're rippin' and a ridin'  And you're coming on strong  You start slippin' and slidin'  And it all goes wrong because  Sometimes you're the windshield  Sometimes you're the bug  Sometimes it all comes together baby  Sometimes you're a fool in love  Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby  Sometimes you're the ball  Sometimes it all comes together baby  Sometimes you're going to lose it all  One day you got the glory  One day you got none  One day you're a diamond  And then you're a stone  Everything can change  In the blink of an eye  So let the good times roll  Before we say goodbye, because  Sometimes you're the windshield  Sometimes you're the bug  Sometimes it all comes together baby  Sometimes you're a fool in love  Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby  Sometimes you're the ball  Sometimes it all comes together baby  Sometimes you're going to lose it all
You and your friend
Will you and your friend come around  Are you and your friend gonna get on down  Will you and your friend come around  Or are you and your friend gonna let me down  If you talk to one another  I'm a hungry man  Let me know one way or the other  So I can make my plan  Will you and your friend come around  Are you and your friend gonna get on down  Will you and your friend come around  Or are you and your friend gonna let me down  I relive the situation  Still see in in my mind  You got my imagination  Working overtime
Heavy fuel
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad  Worst hangover that I ever had  It took six hamburgers and scotch all night  Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right  'cos if you wanna run cool  If you wanna run cool  If you wanna run cool, you got to run  On heavy, heavy fuel  My life makes perfect sense  Lust and food and violence  Sex and money are my major kicks  Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks  'cos if you wanna run cool  Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run  On heavy, heavy fuel  My chick loves a man who's strong  The things she'll do to turn me on  I love the babes, don't get me wrong  Hey, that's why I wrote this song  I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread  Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead  When my ugly big car won't climb this hill  I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill  'cos if you wanna run cool  If you wanna run cool  Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run  On heavy, heavy fuel
Iron hand
With all the clarity of dream  The sky so blue, the grass so green  The rank and file and the navy blue  The deep and strong, the straight and true  The blue line they got the given sign  The belts and boots marched forward in time  The wood and the leather the club and shield  Swept like a wave across the battlefield  Now with all the clarity of dream  The blood so red, the grass so green  The gleam of spur on the chestnut flank  The cavalry did burst upon the ranks  Oh the iron will and the iron hand  In england's green and pleasant land  No music for the shameful scene  That night they said it had even shocked the queen  Well alas we've seen it all before  Knights in armour, days for yore  The same old fears and the same old crimes  We haven't changed since ancient times
Ticket to heaven

I can see what you're looking to find  In the smile on my face  In my peace of mind  In my state of grace  I send what I can  To the man from the ministry  He's a part of heaven's plan  And he talks to me  Now I send what I can to the man  With the diamond ring  He's a part of heaven's plan  And he sure can sing  Now it's all I can afford  But the lord has sent me eternity  It's to save the little children  In a poor country  I got my ticket to heaven  And everlasting life  I got a ride all the way to paradise  I got my ticket to heaven  And everlasting life  All the way to paradise  Now there's nothing left for luxuries  Nothing left to pay my heating bill  But the good lord will provide  I know he will  So send what you can  To the man with the diamond ring  They're tuning in across the land  To hear him sing  I got my ticket to heaven  And everlasting life  I got a ride all the way to paradise  I got my ticket to heaven  And everlasting life  All the way to paradise
My parties
Well this is my back yard - my back gate  I hate to start my parties late  Here's the party cart - ain't that great?  That ain't the best part baby - just wait  That a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze  Portable hammok baby - who needs trees  It's casual entertaining - we aim to please  At my parties  Check out the shingles - it's brand new  Excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you  Hey everybody - let me give you a toast  This one's for me - the host with the most  It's getting a trifle colder - step inside my home  That's a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone  That's a musical doorbell - it don't ring, I ain't kiddin'  It plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon  Boy, this punch is a trip - it's o.k. in my book  Here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit  Ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook  Let me show you honey - it's easy - look  You take a fork and spike 'em - say, did you try these?  So glad you like 'em - the secret's in the cheese  It's casual entertaining - we aim to please  At my parties  Now don't talk to me about the polar bear  Don't talk to me about the ozone layer  Ain't much of anything these days, even the air  They're running out of rhinos - what do I care?  Let's hear it for the dolphin - let's hear it for the trees  Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze  It's casual entertaining - we aim to please  At my parties
Planet of New Orleans
Standin' in the corner  Of toulouse and dauphine  Waitin' on marie-ondine  I'm tryin' to place a tune  Under a louisiana moonbeam  On the planet of New Orleans  In a bar they call the saturn  And in her eyes of green  And somethin' that she said in a dream  Inside of my suit I got my mojo root  And a true love figurine  For the planet of New Orleans  New Orleans - the other planet  With other life upon it  And everythin' that's shakin' in between  If you should ever land upon it  You better know what's on it  The planet of New Orleans  Now I'm tryin' to find my way  Through the rain and the steam  I'm lookin' straight ahead through the screen  And then I heard her say  Somethin' in the limousine  'bout taking a ride across the planet of New Orleans  If she was an ace  And I was just a jack  And the cards were never seen  We could have been the king and the queen  But she took me back to her courtyard  Where magnolia perfume screams  Behind the gates and the granite  Of the planet of New Orleans
How long
How long, how long baby  How long has it been  How long you gonna keep me wondering  How long before you see  Stallin' me was wrong - how long  How long, how long you gonna keep  Slappin' my hands away  How long you gonna keep my love at bay  How long before you're sure  My love is strong - how long  How long, how long you gonna keep  Tellin' me you like me fine  How long until I'm gonna make you mine  How long before you wake up  And find a good man gone - how long
