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
Walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies  Be-Bop-A-Lua, Baby What I Say  Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman  Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay  He got the action, he got the motion  Yeah, the boy can play  Dedication devotion  Turning all the night time into the day  He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman  He do the song about the knife  He do the walk, he do the walk of life  Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story  Hand me down my walkin' shoes  Here come Johnny with the power and the glory  Backbeat the talkin' blues  He got the action, he got the motion  Yeah, the boy can play  Dedication devotion  Turning all the night time into the day  He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman  He do the song about the knife  He do the walk, he do the walk of life  Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies  Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say  Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman  Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay  He got the action, he got the motion  Yeah the boy can play  Dedication devotion  Turning all the night time into the day  And after all the violence and double talk  There's just a song in the trouble and the strife  You do the walk, you do the walk of life
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
Romeo and Juliet
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade  Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made  Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade  Says something like you and me babe how about it?  Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme me a heart attack  He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back  You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that  Anyway what you gonna do about it?  Juliet the dice were loaded from the start  And I bet and you exploded in my heart  And I forget I forget the movie song  When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?  Come up on different streets they booth were streets of shame  Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same  And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real  How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?  When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold  You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold  You promised med everything you promised me thick and thin  Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him  Juliet when we made love you used to cry  You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die  There's a place for us you know the movie song  When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?  I can't do the talk like they talk on tv  And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be  I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you  I can't do anything except be in love with you  And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be  All I do is keep the beat and bad company  All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme  Julie I'd do the stars with you any time  Juliet when we made love you used to cry  You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die  There's a place for us you know the movie song  When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?  A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade  Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made  Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade  Says something like you and me babe how about it?
Private investigations
It's a mystery to me - the game commences  For the usual fee - plus expences  Confidential information - it's in a diary  This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry  I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt  You get to meet all sorts in this line of work  Treachery an reason - there's always an excuse for it  And when I find the reason I still get used to it  And what have you got at the end of the day?  What have you got to take away?  A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies  Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes  Scarred for life - no compensation  private investigation
Your latest trick
All the late night bargains have been struck  Between the satin beaus and their belles  And prehistoric garbage trucks  Have the city to themselves  Echoes roars dinosaurs  They're all doing the monster mash  And most of the taxis and the whores  Are only taking calls for cash  I don't know how it happened  It all took place so quick  But all I can do is hand it to you  And your latest trick  My door was standing open  Security was laid back and lax  But it was only my heart got broken  You must have had a pass key made out of wax  You played robbery with insolence  And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane  And you never did have the inteligence to use  The twelve keys hanging off my chain  I don't know how it happened  It all took place so quick  But all I can do is hand it to you  And your latest trick  Now it's past last call for alcohol  Past recall has been here and gone  The landlord finally paid us all  The satin jazzmen have put away their horns  And we're standing outside of this wonderland  Looking so bereaved and so bereft  Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands  The bottle's empty and there's nothing left  I don't know how it happened  It was faster than the eye could flick  But not all I can do is hand it to you  And your latest trick
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
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
Money for nothing

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it  You play the guitar on the MTV  That ain't workin' that's the way you do it  Money for nothin' and chicks for free  Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it  Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb  Maybe get a blister on your little finger  Maybe get a blister on your thumb  We gotta install microwave ovens  Custom kitchen deliveries  We gotta move these refrigerators  We gotta move these colour TV's  See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup  Yeah buddy that's his own hair  That little faggot got his own jet airplane  That little faggot he's a millionaire  We gotta install microwave ovesns  Custom kitchens deliveries  We gotta move these refrigerators  We gotta move these colour TV's  I shoulda learned to play the guitar  I shoulda learned to play them drums  Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera  Man we could have some fun  And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?  Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee  That ain't workin' that's the way you do it  Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free  We gotta install microwave ovens  Custom kitchen deliveries  We gotta move these refrigerators  We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord  Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it  You play the guitar on the MTV  That ain't workin' that's the way you do it  Money for nothin' and your chicks for free  Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Brothers in arms
These mist covered mountains  Are a home now for me  But my home is the lowlands  And always will be  Some day you'll return to  Your valleys and your farms  And you'll no longer burn  To be brothers in arm  Through these fields of destruction  Baptism of fire  I've watched all your suffering  As the battles raged higher  And though they did hurt me so bad  In the fear and alarm  You did not desert me  My brothers in arms  There's so many different worlds  So many different suns  And we have just one world  But we live in different ones  Now the sun's gone to hell  And the moon's riding high  Let me bid you farewell  Every man has to die  But it's written in the starlight  And every line on your palm  We're fools to make war  On our brothers in arms
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
Solid Rock
Well take a look at that  I made a castle in the sand  Saying this is where it's at you know  Couldn't understand now  If I realised that the chances were slim  How come I'm so suprised when the tide rolled in  I wanna live on solid rock  I'm gonna live on solid rock  I wanna give don't wanna be blocked  I'm gonna live on solid rock  Well I'm sick of potential  I'm sick fo vanity now  I'm sticking to essential reality now  I don't know what's worse  Try to make a silk purse  Living an illusion living in confusion  Well a house of cards  Was never built for shock  You could blow it down in any kind of weather  Now two solid rocks two solid blocks  You know they're gonna stick  Yeah they're gonna stick together  Because the heart that you break  That's the one that tou rely on  The bed that you make  That's the one you gotta lie on  When you point you fingers cos you plan fell through  You got three more fingers pointing back at you  I wanna live on solid rock  I'm gonna live on solid rock  I wanna give don't wanna be blocked  I'm gonna live on solid rock
