Dr.Feelgood Doctor's Orders Lyrics
1.If My Baby Quit Me

(morgan)

If my baby quit me, don't know what i'm gonna do
If my baby quit me, don't know what i'm gonna do
Yeah, i'm crazy 'bout my baby
Baby, i'm crazy for you

But i love my baby better than i love myself
But i love my baby better than i love myself
But she left me for another man
Left my loving up on the shelf

If my baby quit me
If my baby quits me
If my baby quit me...
I don't know what i'm gonna do

It could kill a man what that woman been putting down
It could kill a man what that woman been putting down
You better watch yourself
You been messin' with that known mess around

If my baby quit me
If my baby quits me
If my baby quit me...
I don't know what i'm gonna do


2.Styrofoam

(d. defore)

I got a lady lives in a home
Made entirely of styrofoam
Styrofoam fireplace, styrofoam logs
Styrofoam cats and styrofoam dogs

- break -

Styrofoam people, styrofoam mags
Styrofoam pens and styrofoam bags
I got a lady in a styrofoam home
Every damned thing's made of styrofoam

- break & harmonica solo -

I got a lady lives in a home
Made entirely of styrofoam
Styrofoam fireplace, styrofoam logs
Styrofoam cats and styrofoam dogs

- break & short solo -

Is here a genuine... ???

3.Tanqueray

(j. johnson/k. richard)

Listen to me baby - hear what i got to say
Listen to me baby - hear what i got to say
I'm going round the corner
To have a drink of tanqueray

Come on baby - and do like i say
Come on baby - and do like i say
We're going round the corner
And have a drink of tanqueray

Long time coming - but i knew i'd see a day
It was a long time coming - but i knew i'd see a day
When you and i could sit down
And have a drink of tanqueray

- various soli -

Was a long time coming - but i knew i'd see a day
It was a long time coming - but i knew i'd see a day
When you and i could sit down
And have a drink of tanqueray

8.Heart Of The City

(nick lowe)

We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roams
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city

Well i'm a standin' on the street
And i'm a steppin' off the end
Yeah i'm lookin' for a lover
Lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe i'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
There's a girl my lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city

I'm lookin' i'm lookin' i'm lookin' i'm lookin'
I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city

We're in the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music
And a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl
And they're checkin' on me
They know a bird up in the hand
Is worth two out on the streets
Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city

Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
(repeat to fade)


9.Down At The Doctors

(mickey jupp)

Leave a late show
Still feel alive
Want a place to go
Round about five

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night

Everybody needs a shot of r'n'b
So come on down to my surgery

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night

Eight bars on piano

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night

Come here baby
Ain't gonna do you no harm
I just want to shoot
Some rock'n'roll in your arm

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night


10.Milk & Alcohol

(nick lowe/gypie mayo)

White boy in town
Big black, blue sound
Night club, i paid in
I got a stamp on my skin

Main attraction dead on his feet
Black man rhythm with a white boy beat
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

Stay put i wanna go
Hard work, bad show
More liquor, it don't help
He's gonna die, it breaks my heart

I decided eventually
This ain't doing a thing for me
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

- guitar solo -

They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol
They got him on milk and alcohol

Got up, i walked out
To the car, start it up
Feel bad, sad night
I never saw a red light

Sirens were a screamin' all around
I pulled on over and i shut her down
A black cop gave me a shove with his gun
Said up against the wall and don't make a run
They got me on milk and alcohol
They got me on milk and alcohol
