Christine's Tune (devil in disguise)
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
in disguise.
Now a woman like that all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the time that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can.
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
in disguise.
Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealously and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can do without.
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
in disguise.
Her number always turns up in your pocket
whenever you are looking for a dime
It's all right to call her, but I'll bet you
the moon is full and you're just wasting time.
She's a devil in disguise
You can see it in her eyes
She's telling dirty lies
She's a devil in disguise
in disguise, in disguise .......
Sin City
This old town is filled with sin
It'll swallow you in
if you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
and Satan is waiting his turn.
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
on the thirty-first floor our gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
The scientists say it'll all wash away
but we don't believe anymore
'cause we've got our recruits
in their green mohair suits
so please show your I.D. at the door.
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
on the thirty-first floor our gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
A friend came around tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
He trusted in his crowd
so he spoke right out loud
and they lost the best friend they ever had.
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
on the thirty-first floor our gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain.
Do Right Woman
Take me to heart and I'll always love you
and nobody else could make me do wrong
Take me for granted and I'll tag along
Makes willpower weak and temptation's strong
a woman's only human
this you must understand
She's not just a plaything
She expects love just like a man.
So if you wanna do right all day woman
You gotta be a do right all night man.
They say that it's a man's world
but you can't prove that by me
so as long as we're together, baby
You better show some respect for me.
So if you wanna do right all day woman
You gotta be a do right all night man
You gotta be a do right all all night man
You gotta be a do right all all night man.
Dark End of the Street
At the dark end of the street
that's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness, to hide alone.
You and me,
at the dark end of the street.
You and me.
I know the time has gonna take its toll
We'll have to pay for the love that we stole.
Oh, it's a sin and we know that we wrong
Oh, for our love keeps coming on strong.
You and me,
at the dark end of the street.
You and me.
They gonna find us, they gonna find us
They gonna find us love someday.
You steal away
to the dark end of the street.
You and me.
If you take a walk downtown
and fans so time to look around
if you shall see me and a walk on by
Oh, darling, please don't you cry
the night with me,
at the dark end of the street
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me...
My Uncle
A letter came today from the draft board
with trembling hands I read the questionnaire
it asked me lots of things about my mama and papa
now that ain't what I call exactly fair.
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'cause they don't need the kind of law and order
that tends to keep a good man underground.
A sad old soldier once told me a story
about a battlefield that he was on
He said a man should never fight for glory
He must know what is right and what is wrong.
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'cause they don't need the kind of law and order
that tends to keep a good man underground, yeah.
Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle
but I suspect it's more than I can pay
He's asking me to sign a three-year contract
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today.
So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may be just my kind of town
'cause they don't need the kind of law and order
that tends to keep a good man underground
that tends to keep a good man underground.
Wheels Ê
We've all got wheels to take ourselves away
We've got telephones to say what we can't say
We've all got higher and higher every day.
Come on wheels take this boy away.
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die
so come on wheels take me home today.
Come on wheels take this boy away.
Now when I feel my time is almost up
and destiny is in my right hand
I'll turn to him who made my fate so strong.
Come on wheels make this boy a man.
We're not afraid to ride
We're not afraid to die.
Come on wheels take me home today
Come on wheels take this boy away
Come on wheels take this boy away.
Juanita
No affection were the words
that stuck on my mind
when she walked out on me
for the very last time.
Oh, mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done
To be treated this way.
In a cold dirty room
that's where I found myself
with a bottle of wine
and some pills on the shelf.
Oh, mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
I don't know what I've done
and I'm feeling so ashamed.
Then an angel appeared
She was just seventeen
In a dirty old gown
with a conscience so clean.
Oh, mama, sweet mama
Can you tell me what to say
She's brought back the life
that I once threw away.
She's brought back the life
that I once threw away.
Hot Burrito #1
You may be sweet and nice
but that won't keep you warm at night
'Cause I'm the one who showed you how
To do the things you're doing now.
He may feel all your charms
He may hold you in his arms
but I'm the one who let you in
I was right beside you then.
Once upon a time
You let me feel you deep inside
and nobody knew, nobody saw
Do you remember the way you cried?
I'm your toy, I'm your old boy
but I don't want no one but you to love me
No, I wouldn't lie
You know I'm not that kind of guy.

Hot Burrito #2
Yes, you loved me and you sold my clothes
I love you but that's the way that it goes
so it goes, yes, you know how I feel
so it goes, it just couldn't be real
and we know it's wrong
and I don't think it's gonna go on
when I come home carrying my shoes
I've been waiting to tell you some news
and you want me home all night
and you don't want another fight
but you better love, find some love
you better love me, Jesus Christ.
Yes, you loved me and you sold all my clothes
I love you, baby, but that's the way that it goes
so it goes, I guess you know how I feel
so it goes, yes, it couldn't be real
and you want me home all night
you just don't want another fight
but you better love, find some love
love me baby, Jesus Christ.
Do you know how it feels ?
Do you know how it feels to be lonesome
when there's just no one left that really cares
Did you ever try to smile at some people
and all they ever seem to do is stare.
And you remember how it feels to be cold again
when the happiness of love has gone away
and you never want to go out on the street again
and you only seem to live from day to day.
Do you know how it feels to be lonesome
when there's just no one left who really cares
Did you ever try to smile at some people.
Yes, and all they ever seem to do is stare.
Yes, and all they ever seem to do is stare.
Hippie Boy
I was walking down the street the other day
and a sight came before my eyes
it was a little hippie boy, I must have been twice his size
his appearence typified his strange breed
gaudy clothes, long stringy hair hanging down.
I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town
as he walked beside me on down the block
I noticed no unpleasing smell
he might have been on the weed or even LSD
but if he was I couldn't tell.
So we walked together that way through this neighborhood
finally he turned around to me
and he said friend, you know we're a million miles apart
but you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather
so why don't we put our differences aside
and just talk to each other
you see this box beneath my arm
to you it's plain, it has no charm
but to someone dearest to my heart this box has played a tragic part.
This little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died
but if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified
this boy was in Chicago, he didn't know why he was there
he was with his family and friends and he didn't really care
you might have been one of those
who saw the struggle there on your television screen
the tragic thing is so much else happened
that no one else could have seen.
A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore
to carry a package to a nearby hotel
and when he returned he'd get two more
but when he came back he sort of lost his way walking thru the crowd
one of them things you ask yourself, how the Lord allowed.
But when he was found he was like he is now
dreaming sweet and still
and in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill.
Now you can take that dollar
get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank
so they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb.
Well, what I'm going to tell you now, you can stay or you can leave
you kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing
it's the same for any hippie, bum or hillbilly out on the street.
Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat
now could you help us sing this song, please.
(chorus : there will be peace in the valley for him now we pray
I will think of the little hippie boy that way. )
