Wag The Dog
Now you can do the watusi
You can do it if you try
Any puppy dog or pussy
Can do the jerk or do the fly
Now you can do the wooly bully
But can you pull the wooly wooly
Can you wag, can you wag the dog
You got the shimmy and the hustle
It's all the rage downtown
Yeh, you don't have to have the muscle
To get into the mess around
'Cos you can do the wooly bully
But can you pull the wooly wooly
Can you wag, can you wag the dog
So make him sit, make him stay
Come to heel, go play
Roll him over, lie still
Make him go kill, attaboy
Wag that dog, baby
You have had the duck and mashed potato
Funky chicken on a roll
Move on up a little later
To the monkey and the stroll
Now you can do the wooly bully
But can you pull the wooly wooly
Can you wag, can you wag the dog
Now go bow, bow, wow, wow
Now go woof, woof, woof, woof
Yeh that's right
Wag the dog
The locomotion boogaloo
The hully gully and the limbo too
Wag that dog
Yeh hitchhike for me baby
Now we're barefootin'
The funky, funky penguin
That's the bug
And that's the frug
Yeh, but can you wag
Wag the dog, can you wag the dog
Wag the dog, can you wag the dog
Millionaire Blues
I woke up this morning, my jacuzzi wouldn't work
Then the butler quit on me, man, can you believe it? Jerk!
Must have been my artistic temperament he couldn't take
How come nobody wants to give me a break?
I've got the blues right down, mean and low
I'm as low as the heels of my alligator shoes
You should know how it feels to have these millionaire blues
Millionaire blues
Well, I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink
I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink.
Oh, I swear I'd kill that little weasel if I could
I checked myself in the mirror - my hair was looking good, but
I had the blues right there, mean and mean and mean and low
As low as the heels on my alligator shoes
You should know how it feels to have these millionaire blues
Millionaire blues
Get down!
Well, so much for breakfast, I couldn't face lunch
I thought I'd raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch.
I take the Lamborghini, the flunkie parks the car
Can you believe it, man, this other monkey won't let me in the bar!
I said, I said, "Don't you know who I am, man?" and he says, "No."
No! Can you believe it?
I'm as low as the heels of these alligator shoes
You should know how it feels to have these millionaire blues
Millionaire blues, to have these millionaire blues,
Millionaire blues
Bad, bad!
That's bad! Yeah
So hard,
It's hard sometimes for a boy
Ah, I like that
That's good
Get down!
You're making a very big mistake, man
Oh yeah
You'll never work in this town again!
All right
I Think I Love You Too Much
I'm not alone sitting right there
How come I get the feeling you'd vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch.
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much
If I picked you up, oh you'd slip right away
If I locked you up, you'd find a way to make me pay.
You're gonna hurt me more than anybody else babe
Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much.
BRIDGE:
Guess I'm gonna get you what you want
Cuz I'm so into you
You don't even give an inch to me baby
Though I've been giving you a mile or two
BRIDGE
Verse 1
Baby, baby, I think I love you too much (repeat)
Kingdom Come
I tell you what!
They don't mess with me, I'm a wild man, son
I got me my very own anti tank gun
I got a jack rabbit with it, guess he was a mean one
Yeah, I've always been a sportsman
Now, there wasn't much left when I got to him
Them big old shells didn't just go through him
Just lumps of fur and that was it
Guess you could say he sure took a hit, alright
Yeah, you want to see my fire power, see my collection
Cause that's my thing, man, perfection
Now I'm talking power in the barrel of a gun
I'll blow anything I want to Kingdom Come
Ba ba boom
Ba ba ba ba bomb
And I'll blow anything I want
To Kingdom Come
Yeah, all you got to do is sqeeze on the trigger
And a little bitty human get a whole lot bigger
Cause there's a time for talking and a time to shoot them down
And this mama-jama [?] don't pussy foot around, alright
Yeah, let them laugh, let them say we're strange
Me and my buddies on the rifle range
But you won't be laughing when it hits the fan
You're going to want to be a survivor, man
Yeah, you got to see my fire power, see my collection
Cause that's my thing, man, perfection
Now, I'm talking power in the barrel of a gun
I'll blow anything I want to Kingdom Come
Ba ba boom
Ba ba ba ba bomb
And I'll blow anything I want
To Kingdom Come
Ba ba ba ba boom
I say we ought to drop the bomb
Yes, and I'll blow anything I want
To Kingdom Come.
Eastbound Train
It was New Cross Station, I was going on home
Saw you get your ticket, standing on your own
Here come the train about 02:44
I couldn't get a smoker, you took another car
Yeah, the end of the line, we both had to change
And you're standing right behind me
I'm a feeling kinda strange
We got to Mile End Road, my heart skipped a beat
Standing right behind me, I'm a shakin' in my seat
3-4 minutes and the train comes through
I'm ridin' on the Central, I'm a-lookin' at you
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
Now I couldn't read a paper, you couldn't read a book
Kept on taking me another look
You got off the train, you never looked behind
I tried, but I can't get you out of my mind
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
Well I got one more thing I wanna say before I go
If you get the message on the radio
You can write a letter, get in touch with me
Leave your number with the company, yeah
Woman on the eastbound train
Sometimes I wanna see you again
All That I Have In The World

Not a word of a warning would you give to me
My prescious, my only sweet girl
You'd leave me in the morning
And I'll be calling for you
And you're all that I have have in the world
You're all that I have in the world

Gravy Train
Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Leaving all the places that they really ought to brave
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Past the coal mines black and scarred
Starter houses in the loading yard
On the Gravy Train, On the Gravy Train
There's the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Never thank each other or their lucky stars
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
That's worse than ingratitude
Worse than a piss poor attitude
On the Gravy Train, Gravy Train
Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Some act tough, some act rude
Some bit of fluff complain about the food
You wanna see somebody getting really rude
Get on the Gravy Train, Gravy Train
Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track,
And they're gonna be ridin' in an old caboose
Coming back
There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade
Ridin' on the Gravy Train
Free loader licks my boots
Tells me how he digs my suit
You got lucky son, don't get cute
Get on the Gravy Train
My Claim To Fame
Well he's a big star now
But I've been a fan of his for years
The way he sings and plays guitar
Still brings me to tears
I wouldn't want to be a big deal
I wouldn't want to be a celebrity
I spend my life building ships of steel
That's all there ever was for me
Take a hammer to the sea belles
And shout my name
And I'll sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame
He spends his life in the studio
Jet planes and big black cars
Plays records on the radio
In all of the clubs and in all of the bars
By day he didn't have a choice
You had to take a trade
You had no money and you had no voice
That's the life I made
Take a hammer to the sea belles
And shout my name
And I'll sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame
That's my claim to fame boys
That's my claim to fame
To sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame
Well a song can live forever and a day
An old ship goes to the breakers yard
In a hundred years you're gonna hear him play
They won't remember me for working hard
Now they've all gone away, all the boys and the girls
They yard is a grave where the river runs through
We used to build the ships for the whole wide world
Now we couldn't do it if we wanted to
Take a hammer to the sea belles
And shout my name
I'll sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame
Take a hammer to the sea belles
And shout my name
I'll sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame
That's my claim to fame boys
That's my claim to fame
To sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame

Be Mine
When the green, green spring
Is waiting for the sun to shine
It knows the sun will shine
In time... in time
How long until the dawn?
Is there any sign?
How long until your love will be mine?
The sweetest dream
I ever dreamed in all my life
Was one of having you
In time... in time
Are you ever gonna wake up
From the sleep you sleep?
How long until your love will be mine?
Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?
I've heard it said
That a thousand years is like a day
Just a twinkle of an eye
In time... in time
Just a moment full of grace
My whole life would be
If you would say your love could be mine
Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?
Be mine
Be mine
How long until your love will be mine?
The Way It Always Starts
It gets so dark before the dawn
That's when it gets to me
Before the city symphony of taxi horns
That's the way it always starts
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
Last night I thought I heard my name
Well it was too dark to see, but it had to be
The voice was just the same
That's the way it always starts
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
So tell me why should it have to be this way
Why can't it be all right
Why can't I sleep at night?
Why should it have to be this way?
Why must there be this price to pay?
Now all the streets are dark and bare
Oh, if you can live in this town
And stick around, you can live anywhere
That's the way it always starts
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
Camerado
Camerado
See that cloud across the sun
There ain't too many places left to run
There was a time when we'd go anywhere the wind would blow
Camerado
Camerado
They are fencing off the plains
I hate to hear the whistle of the train
The next thing you know they'll want your pistol and your tobacco
Camerado
Gotta piece of 44 on fire in my chest
Out here on the mesa I will rest
If you could hand me down that whiskey from my saddle bag
Camerado
Now the light is dying in the sky
That ain't gonna bother you or I
Seen enough of dying almost know all that there is to know
Camerado
Now you had best light out and ride
There's pretty women on the other side
See in Salinas you'll be free as air in Mexico
Camerado
MetrolandYearning, we were yearning
Green like blinding on the rail
Burning, we were burning
And a line unwinding to the Holy Grail
To the future gleaming on the blue horizon
And a golden girl on golden sand
Dreaming, fantasizing
In another world for Metroland
I've danced in rain
And I've been Django
And I've got laid
I've been a rolling stone
I've been Verlaine
And I've been Rimbaud
Not afraid to walk alone
And now I take, my midnight ramble
Do I fold or play
What's in my hand
What's at stake, what's the gamble
Do I stay in Metroland
Dreams, yesterday's laughter
Ghosts and lovers come back to play
But dreams have a morning after
And run for cover
In the light of day
I got something real, worth holding onto
I can belong to, and understand
I've made my deal
I will go onto
Make my peace with Metroland, with Metroland
Metroland, Metroland, Metroland
Let's See You
Tonight we pushed the border just a little too far for comfort
Thought I'd get my order in
Seeing ??? sweet talking
You never had a way with words
So its something of a drag to hear you
Like a wind up bird
Telling all and sundry how come nothing is good
How you are misunderstood
You never had a lot upstairs
So it is something of a drag to see you
A legend in your own armchair
Telling all and sundry how things ought to be
What's wrong with the industry
And then it all comes back to you
You wanna know what you should do
Shut up and deal, let's see you do better
Shut up and deal, let's see you get it on
Shut up and deal, and put it all together
Let's see you, do it all
You say, "Well it's alright for him"
I got more talent in my little finger
And what about that game she's in?
How can she call herself a sinner or a saint?
She knows how to play the game
I know what it's leading to
You want to know what you should do
Shut up and deal, let's see you do better
Shut up and deal, let's see you get it on
Shut up and deal, and put it all together
Let's see you
Let's see you
Let's see you, do it all
All
Tonight we pushed the border just a little too far for comfort
The Long Highway
Heard a bell being toll
Before the break of day
I heard my name being called
Down that Long Highway
Now you don't get long
You don't get long
You don't get long to stay
Kiss me once and I'll be gone
Down that Long Highway
Spirits call from way beyond
Lord I may not disobey
Spare a thought for the vagabond
Down that Long Highway
Down that Long Highway
Down that Long Highway
Pyroman
I'd been a (doctor) but I stayed in this life
Only thing I think about is fuel for fire
Don't want to ruining calling a name
when all you're doing is setting it flames
I'm a pyroman
I'll burn downtown
I'm a pyroman
Move me down/Close me down!
Sometimes I wonder who've
Don't think I think about the (songs) I've learned
Give me in a witness, nothing to me
I'm a pyroman
I'll burn downtown
I'm a pyroman
Close me down!
I (light) a dog and a dog, he'd do today
Walking down the street to (everybody's) place
Oh I saw for all that's worth
Oh It's the greatest show on Earth
I'm a pyroman
I'll burn downtown
I'm a pyroman
Close me down
Mister
Speak free to me
I come to take you mister
Across the sea
One thing mister
One thing I've got to learn
Who's go out the window with cruedest concerns
About the secret plan
I'll burn downtown
I'm a pyroman
Close me down
Secondary Waltz
Well now the school Christmas party is coming
Ain't doing rugby no more
McIntyre teaching us waltzing
Out on the gymnasium floor
Nobody battered or bleeding
nobody's tatered and torn.
McIntyre's dim, loud in the gym
Well, we've only got our little shorts on
We've only got our little shorts on
And it's you, you, you're a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart
We dance with ourselves, when the (...) find their space
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
On the big final manoeuvre, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to the deep thing
This time we'll do it with girls
In the arena the ladies are waiting
A twelve year old girl for a bride
The matches were fixed, somehow we mixed
And a fat girl got left on the side
A fat girl got left on the side
And it's you, you, you're a disgrace
McIntyre tore us apart
We dance with ourselves, when the (...) find their space
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
Waltzing with fear in our hearts
It's the secondary waltz
Well you come to my right, and I am under the light
See that my footwork is false
Don't count me out, the start of the bow
I'm just doing secondary waltz
Doing secondary waltz
And , it's the secondary waltz
Yeah, it's the secondary waltz
Sucker For Punishment
I see you in the alley
I see you in the wall
Rolling back like a bowling ball
So I picked you up and threw you on the floor
And all you say to do is move
Your eye's black, your nose is bent
Have you been in an accident?
Your God really sent you a punishment
That's what you're
You like it ready
You like it rough
You're one of these people
You can never get enough
You're all punched in
You're all punched out
You're the one they're laughind about
You're just an embarassment
You must know it's time to go went
You're gonna be a sucker for punishment
That's what you're
I wouldn't call you a fancy free
I wouldn't call you a frigid
It wouldn't be so bad for me
If you didn't pull me rigid
So only walk in the name of love
Straight into my box you'd love
You ring me up and say Hi!
You bring me down and I say Goodbye!
Now I'm not to inteligent
But it's you that I resent
Because you're just a sucker for punishment
That's what you are
In My Car
See the world complaining
See my world go by
Well it's dissappearing
The world is changing fast
It's a blank career
But I don't have to care
Nobody there...
In my car running down the street
In my car but they carry me
In my car yeah in my car is me...
Hit the evening news now, I'm on my radio
Then I have confuse now
I have the stereo
I see a trouble spot
But I don't have a stop
Let it talk...
In my car...
What my car is to me
Till when I don't look back now
You know it ain't so lately go
My car is back
The traffic light is blinking
Left the stop light I go for a wheels
And there is no thinking now
I'm driving wheel
But I don't have to feel
Made out of steelIin my car...
Waltzing Mathilda
Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watch'd and waited till his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me?"
Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watch'd and waited till his billy boiled,
You 'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me.
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jump'd the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me."
Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me.
Up came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me."
Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me.
Up jump'd the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive" said he.
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me."
Chorus: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me.
You can hire and fire, wheel and deal
Run your streets with a fist of steel
But you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
You can raise an army on a town
Be the rent collector, come around
Yeah, but you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
If you take your leave of reality
You have to believe in your own publicity
But you get yourself and agent
Hire the Albert Hall
Make like Humpty dumpty and look down on it all
But you're small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small time
Out on the town for your charities
Hanging in around with the VIPS
They say the duke of York took his men
Marched them up a hill of beans and down again
He was small potatoes
Strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime
Small potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes, small time
Now if I was to sing for you
A song you never heard
And give it to you my finest treasure
Would you look at what I bring to you
Turn without a word
Leave me at your gate
Keep me waiting at your pleasure
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever
Well I'll beat out a lion heart tattoo
I'll bring you pipes and drums
I'll bring you books of burnished leather
I'll set to sea in ships for you
Brave a thousand runs
Ride a hurricane
Laugh at any stormy weather
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever
You set no store by gems and gold
You scorn my weather chart
You are not concerned with men's advances
I want you more a hundred-fold
When you lift my heart
I'll burn no other flame
Bear no one else's lances
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever
To win your love
Forever
You better kiss me baby
Before you say too much
You better kiss me baby
Before you say too much
Say too much
Say too much
Say too much
Say too much

Summer of LoveDaddy says I'll never get the roadster
What does he know
I just can't make it here in Squares Ville
Daddy-O
Pretty on the inside and the out
She's the ride I'm wild about
The only one I'm dreaming of
Summer of love
Daddy says I'll never get the roadster
What does he know
We drive to where the sky is wide
And the moon is low
When I shut her down the night feels cool
I tell her she's beautiful
A million stars all swarm above
Summer of love
Whoa, summer of love
Summer days hot and dry
Hot as firecrackers on the Fourth of July
Summer nights passing slow
Gas her up Daddy I'm ready to go
Repeat 2nd verse
