1.Not Dead Yet
I was born too late to play in the rolling stones
I don't know jimmy page, i never met yoko ono
Standing with a strat, i'm rock and roll's bastard son
Go out, get drunk, get laid, have fun
I don't got a million dollars, don't drive a cadillac
Gimme half a chance, 'cause i'm not dead yet
(chorus)
I'm not dead yet - not dead yet
I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You'd better get a bigger gun, i'm not dead yet
I been machine-gunned, hand-gunned, hijacked, left for dead
Divebombed, napalmed, nuclear warheaded
Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
Shot by a firing squad and raped by a business suit
I'm dancing on a landmine, one leg left
But i can still crawl and i'm not dead yet
Chorus
Well, you're bigger, tougher, meaner, rougher
Dirtier and uglier and sneakier and trickier
You wanna shoot me with a gun, cut me with a knife
Take your bare hands and rip out my eyes
You kicked me in the balls and bit me in the neck
Hit me again, 'cause i'm not dead yet
Chorus
Well there's a mugger in the alley, there's a sniper in the hall
There's a girl at the bar wants to get me by the balls
The hangman is hanging if i autograph the noose
And lee harvey oswald's brother's on the loose
There's a mafia hitman with a bullet for my back
Someday he's gonna get me, but i'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet - not dead yet
I'm a wild card waiting in the middle of the deck
You'd better get a bigger gun, i'm not dead yet
Chorus
2.Statue By My Phone
Saturday night i stayed home waiting
Sunday i thought she might call
I don't go out, i don't go nowhere
I'm like a statue by my telephone
Maybe she's looking for my number
Maybe she's looking for it everywhere
She could break this spell i'm under
I could come to life if i knew she cared
I don't go out, i don't go nowhere
I'm like a statue by my telephone
I stay at home, i don't do nothing
I keep on thinking she might call
I'm like a statue by my phone
Sunday night i'm feeling lonely
Feel my heart as it turns to stone
She could be my one and only
But all i ever hear is my dial tone
I don't go out, i don't go nowhere
I'm like a statue by my telephone
I stay at home, i don't do nothing
I keep on thinking she might call
I'm like a statue by my phone
I keep on thinking she might call
I'm like a statue by my phone
3.Promises In The Dark
I was 23 and living in the city
I met a long-legged blonde on friday night
It was a head on collision of passion
We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night
On saturday we went out dancing
I could see she wanted to be free
She said, 'darling, i'm sorry to leave you this way...'
I said, 'how can you walk out on me？'
(chorus)
She said, 'hey, hey, my, my, what's the story？
How can you say i broke your heart？
Someone as old as you should never look for the truth
In promises made in the dark.'
Well, i went back to her apartment
I waited all night in my car
When she got there i said, 'hey you can't take him to bed!'
She said, 'who in the hell do you think you are？'
Chorus
When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver
I smiled and i said my farewells
Love can take you to the sun, love can take you to the moon
It's not worth getting you killed
Chorus
4.Faces In Picasso's Notebook
Jennifer is laughing at my same old stupid jokes
It's the first time that i've seen her since it all went up in
smoke
Her hair is longer, her eyes are sadder, her smile is just the
same
It's funny how we sit here as if nothing's really changed
'cause old lovers never fade away
They haunt you and they hint at things
That never could have been
Like faces in picasso's notebook, visions that have lost their
shape
She acts a little jealous, 'cause my life is going well
But we talk around the danger zones, we know more than we tell
'cause old habits burn into your mind
They taunt you and they trick you
And they twist your sense of time
Like faces in picasso's notebook, visions that have lost their
shape
Faces in picasso's notebook, lovers who have lost their way
And isn't it strange how we feel so close
Now that there's no love to bind us？
And isn't it strange how your heart keeps a hope burning？
So we sit together, have a drink to all that might have been
And drift into our separate lives - i guess that's how these
things end
Like faces in picasso's notebook, visions that have lost their
shape
Faces in picasso's notebook, lovers who have lost their way
Lovers who have lost their way
5.Ashes Of My Heart
It's getting to the point
Where i no longer know
Exactly what i want or need
A new disaster threatens
Every day that i stay here with you
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
And all you really need
Is that i give you everything
I used to give you
Back when giving everything was easy
Yesterday i loved you
Now i'm trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
We both admit we're losing hope
I love you but i don't suppose
It really makes a difference if i say
It's getting to the point
Where i now disregard the feelings
That you share
I know that you deserve much better
Than this fumbling cartoon character
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of heart
I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
We both admit we're losing hope
I love you but i don't suppose
It really makes a difference if i say
I don't know what to feel now
There's nothing left that's real now
Tell me -
We fell in love together
Spent so many years together
Why must we fall out of love alone？
It's getting to the point
Where i no longer know
Exactly what i want or need
This hurricane's inside me
And i'm sorry but i can't go on
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
So damn sick of all this
6.From Ragtime To Rags
A cheap one
To take you from here to heaven
Do you believe that that will do for you？
A quick one
To unwind the slow turning hours
Do you believe that that's what you deserve？
You touch my arm with your hand
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor
And i pull away while trying to stay by your side
And i'm tumbling, tumbling
Out of the open arms of sin
Tumbling, tumbling
From ragtime to rags again
Listen
I'm thinking words i'm not saying
This is not the time to betray my desire for you
I'm sorry
I led you into my indecision
I was hoping that you could wash my confusion away
You touch my arm with your hand
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor
And i pull away while trying to stay by your side
And i'm tumbling, tumbling
Out of the open arms of sin
Tumbling, tumbling
From ragtime to rags again
Parting
Torn from your side with a whisper
We stare at the clock aware that it's too late
Trust me
Someday we will be lovers
But somehow i wish that i'd shared a cheap one with you
And i'm tumbling, tumbling
Out of the open arms of sin
Tumbling, tumbling
From ragtime to rags again
7.A Place Of Her Own
(ralph covert - waterdog music ／ ascap)
A bed and a chair
An empty box on the stair
A smile in the mirror
As she picks up the phone
A place of her own
She calls me to say
She moved in today
If i'm doing nothing
She's got somewhere to go
A place of her own
And home is more than a pillow on the floor
It's more than four walls and a doorway
It's your space to grow
I drop by at eight
With chinese food in a bag
She says the walls need painting
Then laughs and pulls me close
A place of her own
And home is more than a pillow on the floor
It's more than four walls and a doorway
It's your space to grow
A place of her own
8.One Perfect Moment
Maybe we don't belong together
I won't tell if you won't worry
There's time enough for time to tell
What's going on - i'm in no hurry
Don't look now, the sun is creeping
Another night without sleeping
(chorus)
It's not a perfect world
But it's still good to be alive
If you don't know by now, you'll probably never understand
The way it feels to want to live
One perfect moment
You been acting mighty fresh
Lay down, it's time we did some talking
I'm afraid of what we've done
Starting something we'll have trouble stopping
And i don't care if you spend my money
Someone might as well, honey
Chorus
It's one of those days i can't stand up
Seems like gravity's getting stronger
I'm crashing through my cartoon life
Looks like i'll make it one day longer
And maybe i'm right, and maybe i'm wrong
Maybe this is just another pop song
It's not a perfect world
But it's still good to be alive
If you don't know by now
You'll probably never understand
The way it feels to want to live
One perfect moment
9.Rubber Cement Man
Baby let's do it right now
Baby let's do it right now
Baby let's do it right now
Baby let's do it right now
I got the time - i got the love
Baby i'm a rubber cement man
Baby won't you do it with your hand
Baby won't you touch it with your hand
Baby won't you love me with your hand
Baby won't you do it with your hand
I got the time - i got the love
Baby i'm a rubber cement man
Baby won't you do it with my friend
Baby won't you do it with my friend
Oh baby please
Baby won't you do it with my friend
I got the time - he got the love
Baby i'm a rubber cement man
Oh baby baby baby baby baby baby
Babybabybabylet'sdoitrigthnowrightnow

10.Squeezing The Puzzle Together
Death don't walk in the front door
He sneak in the back like a thief in the night
Death don't fight like a brave man
He put a knife in your back as you stand in the dark
Lord how i wish
That you could hear this song
Death don't care if you like him
Death won't buy you a drink
Death don't hear me knocking
He don't care for a fool like me
Lord how i wish
That you could hear this song
You gave me your warmth, didn't you？
As if i knew what i should do
My face in your hair, then suddenly
My feet on the cold ground
Squeezing the puzzle together
Death don't walk in the front door
He sneak in the back like a thief in the night
Death don't fight like a brave man
He put a knife in your back as you stand in the dark
Lord how i wish
You could criticize this song
You gave me your warmth, didn't you？
As if i knew what i should do
My face in your hair, then suddenly
My feet on the cold ground
Squeezing the puzzle together
11.Jeune Fille In A White Sundress
Whatever it takes to get inside your heart
Someone will, i hope it's me
Whatever it takes to get beneath your skin
Someone will, i hope it's me
(chorus)
The sand on my feet
And the sun on my face
Jeune fille in a white sundress
Late afternoon i watch the waves roll in
Soft and slow against the beach
I watch you walk down the wooden steps
Sky grey eyes smile at me
Chorus
And when i talk with her
I can't understand a word
She says so sweetly
But i don't care
Because i have such a crush on her
It feels as if she fell from heaven
Midnight in the restaurant
Ocean breeze, crescent moon
A song is playing on the radio
'ma cherie amour' - i think of you
Chorus
And someday i'll walk
With the sun in my face
And jeune fille in a white sundress
12.You Owe Me Money
I think i'm gonna like this
Cutting you down to size
I've never been a bully -- i think it's about time
Gonna take you in the alley
Cut you up against the wall
Makes me feel so big -- makes you look so small
You owe me money
You owe me money
You owe me money
I'm gonna get it all
You're a real james dean
Another rebel on the run
You gotta pay a price
For having other people's fun
Don't mess with me baby
'cause i've been standing in your shoes
They got it out of me
I'm gonna get it out of you
You owe me money
You owe me money
You owe me money (yah)
Money (yah)
Money (yah)
I'm gonna get it all!!
13.She Smiles Like Richard Nixon
She smiles like richard nixon
Walks like bridgette bardot
And i love her, but i can't trust her
Want her, can't let her know
And she comes
Dressed up in beat-up leather
Like a soft edged vision in black
And she runs up
Throws her arms around me
As if she knew i wanted her back
And she says
'how could you leave without me？'
She forgets she left before i did
Then she smiles like richard nixon
