    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

    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

    Woman on the eastbound train
    Sometimes I wanna see you again

    Not a word of a warning would you give to me
    My prescious, my only sweet girl

    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
     

    Metroland

    Yearning, 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.  

     

    Small Potatoes

    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

     

    What Have I Got To Do

    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
     

     

    Say Too Much

    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 

     

    He's The Man

    What he got
    The others have not
    He's the man
    I said what he got
    The others have not
    He's the man

    Has to be done
    To be number one
    When the (? is down)
    He'll turn it around
    'cause first there's the best
    And then there's the rest
    And he's the man

    He's the man
    He's the man
    He's the man

    He's the man
    He's the man
    He's the man

    What he got
    The others have not
    He's the man
    I said what he got
    The others have not
    And he's the man

    Has to be done
    To be number one
    When the (? is down)
    He'll turn it around
    'cause first there's the best
    And then there's the rest
    And he's the man

    He's the man
    He's the man
    He's the man

    He's the man
    He's the man
    He's the man

    First there's the best
    And then there's the rest
    And he's the man
    First there's the best
    And then there's the rest
    He's the man

    Yeah
    He's the man 

     

    Summer of Love

    Daddy 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
