1.Faith of the Heart

Lyricist:Dianne Warren
Writer(s):Dianne Warren

It's been a long road getting from there to here.
It's been a long time but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now.
Nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more...
No, they're not gonna hold me down...
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul.
And no-one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, I've got faith, faith of the heart.
It's been a long night trying to find my way
been through the darkness.
Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last.
I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more...
No, they're not gonna change my mind.
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul.
And no-one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.
I've known a wind so cold, seen the darkest days...
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change.
I've been though the fire and I've been through the rain,
But I'll be fine, oh yeah !
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul.
And no-one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, faith of the...faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got strength of the soul.
And no-one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
Cause I've got faith, cause I've got faith, faith of the heart.
It's been a long road...


2.I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town


3.A Night Like This

(r. stewart)

Sixteen years old, looking for a hideaway
I'm a set designer, my mum and dad
Thinking i'm gay
I'm a lazy bugger, but i like my sport
Like girls and music, i'm happy, happy sort
(of a guy)

But there's one thing i'm lacking
It's sexual experience
So i ask you, my sweetheart
Save me from this wilderness

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

Where i come from, love is
Just a hole in the wall
And the steel mills ring out and generations
Heed the call
And the rain never stops and the skies are grey
And the chance of romance
Slim as a bright sunny day

This is partly the reason
I'm so overwhelmed and shy
Because your beauty, by contrast
Is gonna make a young man cry

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this
You don't know what it means to a boy from
A suburban home
To be left with a woman like you
Completely alone

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

Nice place you've got here, babe
Never seen a house like this
Pool like an ocean, bed like a football pitch
All the guys at the boozer, won't believe my luck
But it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke
(than me)

So here we are, the record's
Gotten stuck in the groove
My knees are trembling, c'mon baby, make a move

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this
I've dreamed, i've schemed, honey
Of a night like this
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this


4.Ain't That Lovin' You Baby

(jimmy reed)
Know i love you baby
Know i love you baby
You know i love you baby
You don't even know my name

Let me tell you baby
I tell you what i would do
I would rather be a big somebody
And come home to you

Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name

Let me tell you baby
Though it don't sound true
If you'd throw me in the ocean
I'd swim to the shore
And come home to you

Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name, alright

Know i love you baby
Know i love you baby
You know i love you baby
You don't even know my name

Let me tell you baby
I tell you what i would do
I would rather be a big somebody
And come home to you

Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name, alright

Four o'clock in the mornin'
You come walkin' home
I ain't got no consolation
But to ring you on the phone

Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
Ain't that lovin' you baby
You don't even know my name
You don't even know my name
You don't even know my name


5.All Shook Up

(presley, blackwell)

Bless my soul, what's wrong with me ?
I'm itchin' like a man that's on a fuzzy tree
My friends say i'm acting as wild as a bug.
I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love, i'm all
shook up.
Ah, ah, ah, all shook up most of the time.

Well, my knees are shakin'
And my hands are gettin' weak.
Can't seem to stand on my own two feet.
Who do you blame when you, oh, when you found such luck ?
I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love,
I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love
I'm all shook up, any old way

Yea please don't ask me what's up on my mind
I'm a little mixed up but i'm feelin' fine
But that's alright
Oh, when i meet a girl that i've love best,
My heart beats so and it scares me to death
But that's alright

She touched my lips, what a thrill i got
I'm proud to say that she's my, oh, what a buttercup
I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love,
I'm in love, i'm in love, i'm in love,
I'm all shook up, any old time.
Ah, yeah
That's alright, listen
That's ok too

I'm in the mood for love, woman
I'm in the mood for love
My knees are shakin' and my elbows quakin'
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
All shook up, oh yeah.

Please don't ask me what's up on my mind
I'm a little mixed up but i'm feeling fine
I'm in the mood for love, woman, yeah
In the mood for love
Come on babe

Bless my soul, what's wrong with me
Ah ...


6.Another Heartache

(b. adams, j. vallance, r. stewart, r. wayne)

I told you once i'm a jealous man
But you never want to listen to who i am
We're divided, completely out of touch
I guess that's why we seem to fight so much

Believe me darling this ain't no game
If you think i'll be your fool
You better think again
I know you love me
It just ain't right
I'm sick and tired of fighting
With you every night

You say you don't wanna hurt me
But you're doing things i can't explain
Oh baby, why don't you leave me
Because i know you'll never change

It's only another heartache
Ain't nothing to worry about
Something i'm getting used to
Dragging my heart around
But one day soon
And it won't be long
Gonna find me an angel to carry me home
It's only another heartache
Ain't nothing to worry about

I'll find a honey to take a chance
And roll that dice into my past
She'll cover me for a little while
And show me love ain't out of style

I don't care how long it takes
My heart's in the hands of fate
Oh god i ain't asking much
Just a woman that i can trust

It's only another heartache
Ain't nothing to worry about
Something i'm getting used to
Dragging my heart around
Oh but one day soon
And it won't be long
Gonna find me an angel to carry me home
It's only another heartache
Ain't nothing to worry about

I wanna love that's strong and real
I gotta know just how it feels
Somebody to share my life
To hold onto through the night

It's only another heartache
Nothing to worry about
Something i'm getting used to
Dragging my heart around
It's only another heartache
Nothing to worry about
Something i may get used to
Dragging my heart around


7.Around The Plynth

(rod stewart, ron wood)

Woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as i'm thinking now.
Every night for a year i've slept alone.
Cold damp room looks worse than me, no no no

Got a fear of death that creeps on every night.
I know i won't die soon, but then again i might,
Water down the drain, i'm wasting away.
And doctors can't help me a ghost of a man that's me, no no

Water down the drain goes to the sea,
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me.
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky,
Come on down to the ground as the time goes by, no no no no no

Slow down there

I never found out the reason why
Why my parents had to lie
About the place that i was born
And from my hometown i was torn
At the tender age of four
I was livin' by a homemade law

I never knew when it was to be laid
My desires are never displayed
I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid
I never knew what it was to win
I never knew what it was to be loved, nonono

Ah, get on up there

I never knew what it was to be loved
I never knew what it was to be laid

Nonononono
Slow down there


8.Baby Take Me

Baby take me
With steampacket


Baby take me
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me

I can't get you off of my mind
Think about you all of the time
Don't you know you know my heart
All you gotta do is make a start

And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me

There's nothing i wouldn't do
Give me a chance to prove it to you
I would treat you oh so good
'cause i love you like i should

And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me

If you want a love that's true
That's what i'm offering you
It will be forever
We will part never
Baby can't you see
You're the one for me, oh

If you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me

I can't get you off of my mind
Think about you all of the time
I want you all by myself
And i want some on no one else

And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me
And if you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
Baby take me


9.Bad 'n' Ruin

(rod stewart, ian mclagan)
Mother don't you recognize your son, ooh hoo

Coming home, yeah yeah
Getting home, 'cause i failed you mother, hmm-mmm

I'll be there in the mornin'
If you have me back
The rent up here is much too high
For a room without a tap
A room without a tap, hoo

I'll be early in the morning
And i'll find my way back home
Back home bad 'n' ruin
With my tail between my legs
Tail between my legs
And i'll be so tired
I'll be so tired, now listen

I'll be early tomorrow morning
And i'll fall down off my plane
Don't be embarrassed mother
By your ugly worn-out son, hmm
Your ugly worn-out son.

So just let me warn you
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now, hoo

Passport in my hand
Should you could not recognize me
I've heavily made-up eyes

Momma, you won't recognize me now
Brother, you won't recognize me now
Hello there
Sister, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Ooh, hoo

So mother when you've seen me
Don't forget i'm your boy too
I know my brother has done you proud
He's one foot in the grave
Mother don't you recognize me now ?

I'm a burglar in the first degree
But it don't seem to worry me
I'll be so tired, so tired
I'll be so tired, so tired
So tired


10.Beck's Bolero

(jimmy page)


11.Better Off Dead

(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger, appice)

Call the girls and dress up fine
Tonight i felt like suicide
Roll them dice and pour the wine
Shuffle them cards and deal them fine
Got nobody to kiss tonight
Nothing to lose but my appetite

Wanna be silly and sing and shout
Gotta get legless and fall about
Turn the music up nice and loud
Cheer me up don't bring me down
Gonna lose my job next week
Getting replaced by a silicone chip

I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead

I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead

Don't like the scenery don't like the set
Tear it all down and start again
Man keeps talking on the radio
Telling me what i don't wanna know
Radiation wars and layatril
If tax don't get ya then cancer will

I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead

I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead

Better off dead, better off dead
Better off dead, better off dead


12.Blues De Luxe

(j. rod)

I don't know much about love people,
But i sure think i've got it bad.
I don't know too much about love people,
But i sure think i've got it bad.
Some people say love is just a gamble,
But whatever it is, it's about to drive poor me mad.
Yes it is.

I'm sittin' here in my lonely room,
Tears flowin' all down my eyes.
Come on baby.
As i'm sittin' here, sittin' here, sittin' here in my lonely
room,
You know the tears flowin' all down my god-darn eyes.
I wonder how you could treat me so low down and dirty, ha-ha,
You know what? your heart must be made out of iron.
And it ain't no lie. come on baby.

Don't you worry!
Oww! oh yeah!

Over here!
Sometime, i get so worried,
You know i could sit down and cry, ha-ha-ha, yea!
Dig this!
You know sometime i get so worried people,
You know, and only you know, i could sit down and cry.
And it ain't no lie.
Because, i don't know too much about love people,
But i,
But i,
Oww sure think i've got it bad.


13.Body Wishes

(stewart, cregan, savigar, le mesurier)

The night closes in on another day
As the oldest game's gettin' underway
On the minds of a million people body wishes
So you climb on the carousel and take a chance
The same old ritual the same old dance
The hardest thing to resist is body wishes
If the fire down below's gettin worse and worse
You're so close to shootin' that you want to burst
Somebody's sponge needs squeezin' body wishes

What do i say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do i go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do i tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes

Away in the distance a baby cries
But you know somebody's by her side
The night drags on forever body wishes
You can hear the tickin' of a lonely clock
The howlin' wind that just won't stop
Somebody's cherries need pickin' body wishes

What do i say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do i go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do i tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
Won't solve the problem

It'll tear you apart like an angry sea
Keep you warm like a summer breeze
It's all we've got in a cold cold world
Is to love someone
Body wishes, body wishes

Somethings happenin' in the air
It feels so close but you don't know where
The poorest people's riches body wishes
And the cheatin' hearts never learn
Someday somewhere gonna be your turn
Don't start what you can't finish body wishes

What do i say
Nobody gonna tell ya
Where do i go
Somewhere someone'll have ya
Who do i tell
Anybody that'll listen
No one should know
That won't solve the problem
Where do i run
Anywhere that'll hide ya
Who'll be the one
Yeah
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes
Body wishes, body wishes


14.Borstal Boys

(ian mclagan, ron wood, rod stewart)

Cell block five, how i hate bromide
With your coffee in the morning makes you so sterile
The corner gang never made a man of me boy

You know the walls are tall and the inmates scheme
There's no one here that's more than seventeen
Bet your life there's a riot tonight in the mess hall
Listen
A letter from your home town makes you sad
You read it when the wardens had a second laugh
He said sentimental rubbish ain't got no place in here boy

See the years roll on by
Such a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number
Who's a nonconformer,
Not me baby, oh yeah

Shakey brown didn't hang around
When a molotow didn't do its stuff
You went back in there and said it with a sawed-off shotgun

You know poker sam couldn't lose a hand
If he did you were hit by a downtown tram
Or crushed in the path of a moving elevator, elevator

See the years roll on by
Such a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number
Who's a nonconformer,
Not me baby, oh yeah

When i get out, i'll get straight
If this old world gives me half a break
But, if you see me in the corner with a chip on my shoulder
Don't blame me, don't blame me baby, no, no
Got to make a break for the county line


15.Bright Lights, Big City

(jimmy reed)

Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
Ah bright lights, big city
They've gone to my baby's head
Well i tried to tell you woman
But you don't listen to what i said

Alright, pretty baby
You'll knock yourself out some day
Oh alright, pretty baby
You'll knock yourself out some day
Well i tried to tell you woman
But you don't listen to what i say


16.Cindy Incidentally

(ron wood, rod stewart, ian mclagan, 1973)

Oh cindy ain't you noticed
That several of your friends have moved on
And the street outside is just a little too quiet
And your local papers run out of news
I'm not persuading you or disengaging you
But cindy you and me we got to move

Can you refuse, no time to lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
And oh cindy incidentally baby i ain't putting you on

Can you refuse, with ( ) lose
We'll hit the high road early this morning
So don't be late, don't hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting

Oh cindy don't you worry
'cause between us we can make it through
There ain't nothing no no nothing
In the world i can do without you
So cindy get your coat on
Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse
Turn your music so loud let's attract a big crowd
We'll drink a round to this town and bid goodbye

20.Dancin' Alone

(stewart, le mesurier)

On a boulevard in paris
I met a good old friend of mine
'come on over to my place
Bring yourself and a bottle of wine'
So i put on my leathers
And i tried to look my best
But i was apprehensive
I noticed i was the only guest
It was then i witnessed
Something i'd never seen
Some satisfaction
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Listen

There's a white house in georgia
Down the mason-dixon line
They got kentucky derby winners there
They got a lear jet parked outside
Yeah but every friday weekend
When the big tom cat's away
You'll find the plantation shakin'
By the butler and the upstairs maid
Don't need no money, diamonds or cadillacs
To get all the satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone
Dancin' alone

Don't you worry
'bout the problems of the human race
Get some satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone baby
Listen to this
At a hot spot in texas
On an endless friday night
I was listenin' to waylon and willie
When a cowgirl passed my sights
And i took a look in the mirror
To make sure that my head was screwed on
I was feeling rejected
But i wasn't going home
In a moment of a rash decision
I threw myself right on the floor
I did a backflip and somersault
Yeah, the crowd called for more
So if you're tired of watching
Being left on the shelf
Get your satisfaction dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone, dancin' alone
Dancin' alone baby


21.Days Of Rage


22.Debris

(ronnie lane)

I left you on the debris
At the sunday morning market
You were sorting through the odds and ends
You was looking for a bargin

I heard your footsteps at the front door
And that old familiar love song
Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
At the top of the stairs

I wouldn't of went back
Just to see how far it was
And you looked shocked to tell me
But i had to love her myself

Theres more trouble at the depot
With the general workers union
And they said they'll never change a thing
Well they won't fight and their not working

Oh you was my hero
Hell you are my good friend
(i've been there and back)
And i know how far it is

But i left you on the debris
Now we both know you got no money
And i wonder what you would have done
Without me hanging around


23.Devotion

(ronnie lane)

So good to be with the people that know you.
It's good to hear the things that they say,
Oh at times when you are with them.
So good to note my strength is growing,
From day to day, there's not a thing, nononono.
Not one thing i try to do without ya'

Troubled times of pain that come i take them any old day.
You come and you wash them, you wash them all away,
Wash them all away

And everywhere you sing in everything,
And i try by remembering
All the things that you said to me,
From within all you did for me.
Just one word, just one word, just one word.

Well don't you tell nobody

Yeah, don't you tell nobody
Baby, what we gone and done, oh yeah

27.Every Time We Say Goodbye

(porter)

Every time we say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
(why you guys above me
Who must be in the know)
Say so little to me
They allow you to go

When you're near
There's such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

When you're near
Theres such an air
Of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
Theres no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time you say

Theres no love song finer
But how strange
The change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye


28.First I Look At The Purse

(william robinson/robert rogers)

Some fellows look at the eyes
Some fellows look at the nose
Some fellows look at the size
Some fellows look at the clothes
I don't care if her eyes are red
I don't care if her nose is long
I don't care if shes underfeed
I don't care if her clothes are wrong
First i look at the purse.

Some fellows like the smiles they wear
Some fellows like the legs that talk
Some fellows like the style of their hair,
They want the waist line to be small.
I don't care if their legs all vein
I don't care if their teeth are big
I don't care if she wears a ring
Why waste time looking at the waist line
Cause first i look at the purse....yeah!

A woman can be as fine as can be
Kisses sweeter than honey
That don't mean a thing to me,
If you ain't got no money, baby.
Cause if the purse is fat, thats where it's at. yeahaa...

Some fellows like the way they walk,
The way they swing and sway.
Some fellows like the way they talk,
If they can talk talk all day.
I don't care if she waddles like a duck or talks with a lisp
I still think i'm in good luck if the dollar bills are crisp
Cause first i look at the purse....yeah yeah

Keep an eye on the money
Womans got to have some fine greenbacks hah
I ain't greedy guys,
Oh i don't wanna work no more


29.Flags And Banners

(rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973)

Last night i was woken by my cry
Had a dream just as plain as you and i
Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring
Still hear the echo crashing through the trees
Oh when i saw you down i fell upon my knees
You and i we were wearing southern grey
I called to you, but i used another name
I beat the ground and i cried out in your pain
But through a scarlet door i watched you slipping away
And your brothers' helpless prayers were all in vain
Last night i was woken by my cry


30.Fly In The Ointment

(kenny jones, ian mclagan, ron wood, ronnie lane, 1973)


31.Flying

(rod stewart, ron wood, ronnie lane)

I'm flying across the ocean
And i'm soaring back home
To the place i was born and probably raised.
And i'm flying across the mountains and valleys,
Back home to the one that i love so happily.

Can ya' blame me for feeling homesick
'cause i've been away such a very long long time ?
I served a while in the county jail, five years for
For bein' hungry tired and poor, i got worried so.

On and on this i will follow with your buttons and bows.
On and on this i will follow, all alone,
You know i will follow with your buttons and bows,
With your buttons and your bows.
On and on i'm flying across the ocean, going home.

I'm flying across the ocean
Goin' home, hoo hoo


32.Foolish Behaviour

(rod stewart / savigar, cregan, grainger)

Can i introduce myself
I'm a man of panache and wealth
Sound in mind, body, soul and health
Why i wanna kill my wife
I have the urge to take her life

Been planing for years to get rid of her
Not divorce i really do mean to kill her
She's so full of useless information and trivia
That's why i wanna kill my wife
I have a duty to take her life

Her stupid friends get right up my nose
They all wear annoyingly sensible clothes
They're all so bleeding grandiose,
You know why i should kill her friends
They're all driving mercedes benz.

He'll escape down into mexico
Sell the house and find a nice young girl
He'll laugh and sing and he won't work anymore.

Should i string her up or strangle her in bed
Suffocate that little venomous head
Or perhaps i'll just whip her to death
Listen do me a favor kill my wife

Do it for mankind take her life
Or should i act quite cold and deliberate
Or maybe blow out her brains with a bullet
They'll think suicide they won't know who done it
I'm gonna kill my wife i'm really gonna take her life.

He'll escape down into mexico
Sell the house and find a nice young girl
He'll laugh and sing and he won't work anymore

The moment of truth has come
I'm at the point of no return
I've got my hands locked round her throat
I'm about to kill my wife
Don't stop me now i'm gonna take her life

Too late now i'm gonna kill my wife
Can't help myself i'm gonna take her life

Telephone rang and he woke from his sleep
His wife snoring soundly next to him
It was all a very nasty dream


33.Ghetto Blaster

(stewart, cregan, savigar)

This song ain't meant to be pretty
It ain't meant to make you dance
There's so many unsolved problems
Too many empty, angry hands
A little child in ethiopia
Will die before this song is through
Poor eyes have only seen sadness
Oh god show us what to do

I'm not preaching, i'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, i think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Take us to your leader
Think about it

A billion dollars on the arms race
Billions floating round in space
Opec's counting out it's money
Hunger stares us in the face
The battlefield is little children
Caught in a cross fire of hate
How can we call ourselves christians
How can we turn the other way

I'm not preaching, i'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, i think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Listen to what they're sayin'
Take us to your leader
Think about it

Nostradamus gave us warning
You will never walk away
One neutron bomb in the morning
May just ruin your whole day

I'm not preaching, i'm just singing
Trying to get a message through
I'm not crazy, i think maybe
The answers with me and you
Here they come
Take us to your leader
Listen to what they're sayin'
Take us to your leader
Take us to your leader


34.Gi' Me Wings

(rod stewart, steve harley / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)

Driving in my car
There's nothing on the air
Play a song that'll ease my pain
D.j.'s telling me
That this is what'll be
Help me i'm depressed again

My best friend disappeared
With the girl i had for years
My life's going down the drain
The skies are crying
Everybody's lying
Oh god i'm depressed again

Give me wings i'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me

The boss is on my back
I know i'm gonna crack
Looks like i'm paranoid again
Can't do nothing right
See only black and white
Oh god i'm depressed again

Give me wings i'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me

How can i plan ahead
With this hanging round my neck
Looks like i'm coming down again
Thought about it well
Analysed myself
Yeah, i'm depressed again

Give me wings i'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me

I'm down, i'm coming down again
I'm down, looks like i'm coming down again
I'm down, i'm down
Looks like i'm coming down again
I'm down, i'm down
Looks like i'm pissed off again

(hopkins)


36.Glad And Sorry

(ronnie lane)

Thank you kindly for thinking of me
If i'm not smiling i'm just thinking

Glad and sorry, happy or sad.
When all is done and spoken
You're up or i'm down

Can you show me a dream,
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can i

Can you show me a dream,
Can you show me one that's better than mine
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Neither can i

38.Hangman's Knee

(hopkins, beck, newman, stewart, wood)

Hangman, hangman, slack your noose
Slack it, oh slack it
Slack it for a while
There ain't no use in your hurrying me
Ain't nothing gonna change things now

Now i ain't trying to prove your judge is wrong
And your jury, oh your jury
I guess i'll know the way out
And if you kill me with my canvas shirt
Good god, you could put my lawyer in jail

Listen

Good god, nothing's gonna stop me now

Oh

Cause you never get your .?.
Well, might get your waistcoat on
Ha-ha
Heh-heh


39.Hard Lesson To Learn

I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me

When i looked into your eyes
Still no reflection did i see
Of love light glowing within there
That i hoped there would be

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friend
A hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
'times you gonna get burned

I took a chance on emotion
Washing my heart out to see
A single wave on the ocean
You feel so distant from me
And there's a shadow dark upon your smile
A sadness living in your eyes
Storm clouds rolling in an outofdaught
Guess i been living alive

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friend
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned

I drifted into the notion
That you were looking for me
I told myself that devotion
Would flow from your heart to me
But when i looked into your beautiful eyes
Still no reflection did i see
Of love light glowing within there
That i kind o' hoped there would be

And it's a hard lesson to learn my friends
Hard lesson to learn
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned
Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned

Yeah, yeah,yeah
Yeah, yeah oh

Sometimes you gonna get what you want
Sometimes you gonna get burned


40.Henry's Time


41.Here To Eternity

(r. stewart, k. savigar)

On a hot summer's night
In the year of '75
Jimmy doyle took his child bride
Amanda, for a drive
She was only seventeen
He just lived to see her smile
Their commitment to each other
Burned like a forest fire

Otis on the radio singing 'stand by me'
As a trooper pulled them over
And said jimmy where you been
Someone matching your description
Has just robbed the liquor store
Amanda said 'he's been with me'
But they weren't listening anymore

Down at precinct number five
They questioned jimmy through the night
The sheriff said 'he's gotta stand trial'
Armed robbery is the charge
Amanda said 'this cannot be'
Gonna stay right here until you set him free

And i love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh god gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do

The old courthouse was crowded
As the judge reviewed the case
In a year of re-election
He was desperate to impress
Innocent or guilty
He saw an opportunity
To send jimmy down for life
To the penitentiary

Disbelief and anger
As they dragged him away
In a cell below the courthouse
They beat him like a slave
But his use of martial arts
Struck a blow for liberty
Felled a guard with a fist of iron
And killed him instantly

All the press surrounded amanda
Coming down the courthouse steps
Pleading for her young man's life
And in a moment seen by millions
She bowed her head and cried
Show my man some mercy
He's the father of my child

I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh god gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
I love him
Here to eternity

Jimmy doyle appeared again
In a second public trail
For the murder of a prison guard
They sentenced him to die
But amanda with her long red hair
Made one last plea
As the court fell into silence
She cried out desperately

This man of mine is innocent
As one day i shall prove
It's an open case of self defense
All this circumstantial evidence
You place before your court
Has robbed me of my husband
Forget i will not

I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh goodbye my jimmy
'til we meet again
In a better world than this
I swear i'll clear your name
'cos i love you
Here to eternity


(leonard feather, 1946)

I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the first day that we met
I've been downhearted baby
Ever since the first day that we met
Your love ain't nothing but the blues
Woman, how blue can ya' get ?

You're evil when i'm with ya'
And oh, you're jealous when we're apart
Good god, you're jealous when i'm with ya' honey
And you're evil when we're apart
Your love ain't nothing but the blues
Woman, how blue can ya', can ya' get ?

Oh
You're evil when i'm with ya'

I bought you a brand new car
You said 'i want a cadillac'
I bought you a ten-dollar dinner
You said 'thank you for the snack'
I let you live in my penthouse
You said 'that ain't nothing but a shack'
I gave you seven children
And now you wanna give 'em back !

Oh, i've been downhearted baby
Good god, i've been downhearted since we met
And listen, your love ain't nothing but the blues
Woman, how blue can ya' get ?

Yeah, oh


43.I Could Feel The Whole World Turn Around Underneath Me

when i first saw you this strange kind of feeling set my head
a-reeling
Like i hit the ceiling.
The same thing happened to me then, baby.
Something kind of crazy and everything went hazy.

Lightning and thunder shook the ground.
And i could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.

My, have you never been set on fire?
Burning with desire growing higher and higher.
Like on a funny fair big wheel stopping when you are to topping,

The you feel it dropping

Rising and heaven falling down.
And i could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.

I took my breath as though i've been running.
Quite completely stunning, holy, overcoming.
And in a funny way it seemed frightening.
Tension and a hardening

Thunder and the lightning
And i've grown the singer who wrote that song.
And i could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.

I could feet the whole world turn round when you're near me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.

I could feet the whole world turn round underneath me.
I could feet the whole world turn round when you're near me.
I could feet the whole world turn round.

46.I'd Walk A Million Miles For One Of Your Goals / Que Sera


47.If I'm On The Late Side

(rod stewart, ronnie lane, 1973)

If i'm late, darling, don't hesitate
Just go without me and i'll see you there anyway

If i miss you at the station
I want you on that train
I don't want a sad sack
'cause i'll be there come what may

Leave a message with the porter
Or leave it at the gate
Just let me know that you're aboard her
Just a word to know that you're safe

I walk from maryland to silvertown
I hoped to catch you in the street
I must have missed you by a moment dear
I tried the place we alway meet

So if i'm late darling, don't hesitate, no no
Go on your ownsome and i'll catch you there anyway

I might lose sometime babe
But if i do i'll make amends in an hour
When i'm laying down beside you


48.In My Life

(j. lennon, p. mccartney)

There are places i remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some are gone and some remain
Oh these places had their meanings
With lovers and friends, i still recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one, compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love, as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life, i've loved you more


49.In My Own Crazy Way

(f. miller, t. seals, e. setser, r. stewart)

The mystery of you and me
Is coloured blue on blue
We wanted more than we could give
We couldn't see it through

You won't believe these words from me
But still they're mine to say
I will always love you
In my own crazy way

I tried to keep my sanity
By being someone else
Someone that you could hold on to
I only fooled myself

I knew the part, but in my heart
The role i couldn't play
But i will always love you
In my own crazy way

I know i didn't do the little things
That could make a woman's heart sing
Forgive me
And darling if i brought you any pain
I'm trying to explain
In my heart, i was always true

The memories of you and me
Are written on the wind
And sometimes, girl, i'd give the world
To do it all again

And if you need to call me
I won't be far away
I will always love you
In my own crazy way


50.Jailhouse Rock

(leiber, stoller)

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there, and they began to wail
The band began to-jumping, they began to swing
You should have heard the knock down jailbird sing
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Oh everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Number forty-seven said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird i ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
So come and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Oh everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah!

Spider murphy played on the tenor saxophone
Little joe was blowin' on a slide trombone
Drummer boy from illinois was crash-a-bam boomin'
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Listen
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah!

Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Was dancing to the jailhouse ...


51.Jerusalem

(traditional, arr. ron wood)


52.Just Another Honky

(ronnie lane)

I close my eyes and ignore all the signs
I'm walking 'round in circles
I've closed my ears and believed my own lies
And break the silence always
I make a lot of words, big storm in the air
All 'round your hair it's blowing
Just leave it be and it will all blow away
The weather's always changing

You can go if you want to
I don't own you, go be wild
Leave my hand, it's wide open, so's the door evermore

It hurts me more to think i'll keep you in chains
Than if you were to leave me.
I am what you are and i'm running too,
All for the open prairie.

So you can go if you want to
I don't own you, go be wild
Leave my hand it's wide open, so's the door forevermore.

Been hurt before, lost many wars
And you realize the danger you're in
You given your heart to make a new start
You're taking a chance you'll get hurt again

Don't be afraid, it don't have to be that way

Is like sunlight burning through in the morning sky
I said, love, love in the right hands
Is such a powerful thing so put your hands in mine

I'll be there for you, i'll help you get through
When the pressures of this will surround you
You know it will rain but ( ) from the pain
You'll find shelter in my arms around you

But don't be afraid, you gotta have faith in me
Remember, i said, love, love in the right hands
Is like sunlight burning through in the morning sky
I said, love, love in the right hands

We'll always be together, i'll be true to you forever
All of my live

Is such a powerful thing so put your hands in mine


61.Love Lives Here

(ron wood/rod stewart/ronnie lane)

It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feeling no pain
Waiting for a hammer and a big ball and chain
They can tear it all down and build something new
But only i remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy just another day gone
How hong will i have to keep returning

Now i look back think i've known all the time
I've been finding myself for so long
All the vows that we made
Count for old bags of lumber
Disappear on the cart down the road


62.Love Wars

Released on cd single have i told you lately, 1993
Cecil womack, linda womack

Love wars, love wars
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But its taking me under
Since you're not here, oh baby
Its better when its harder to get
But this hide and go seek
Well it's making me weep, yeah
(oh we call over now baby)
I promise you to stop boxing you round
So don't scratch my face now
At the end of the eight
We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor
Stop them
Love wars (no, we don't need no)
Love wars, ha

Talks we had just don't change a thing
They only bring rain
On top of pain, it's hurts me
Flashbacks and uncover tracks
From when you left me
With my best friend,
Oh you left me all alone baby
(so sorry babe) hurts so bad
We need to get our act together
Take it off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor
Make love in peace
And baby never cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
No more love wars (we don't need no)
Love wars
Love wars we don't want no
Love wars (i don't want no)
Love wars
We don't need no love wars
Get it off the street (love wars)
We don't need no (no more, no more)
Love wars

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But its taking me under
Since you're not here, oh baby (oh baby)
I remember losing my head
And calling you things
Like dirty names oh i had ( ) enough (yes you did, boy)
We need to get our act together
And get if off the street
Bring it on home and drop them guns on the floor, yeah
Make love in peace
And baby ever cheat
Vow to be strong and let the band roll on
Stop them
Love wars (we don't need no)
Love wars
Love wars, we don't need no
Love wars (i don't want no love wars)
I don't need no, need no (love wars, i don't want no)
Love wars (talk to me, boy)
Love wars, ha

There'll be nothing for us ( ) between
(talk to me we don't need we don't want no)


63.Maybe I'm Amazed

(paul mccartney)

All right, here's one you may well know, you may not know it
And if you don't know it, i really don't know where you've been,
So you should know the tune. here we go!
Maybe i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe i'm afraid of the way i'll leave you
Baby, i'm amazed at the way you fool me all the time
You hung me on a line
Oh baby, i'm amazed at the way i really need you

Baby, i'm a man, oh baby, i'm a lonely man who's in the middle
of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby, i'm a man, oh baby, you're the only woman that could ever
help me
Baby, won't you try to understand

Baby, i'm a man, oh baby, i'm a lonely man who's in the middle
of something
That he does not really understand - good god, hoo
Baby, i'm a man, oh baby, you're the only one that could ever
help me
Baby, won't you try to understand

Baby, i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Baby, i'm afraid of the way i'll leave ya'
Baby, i'm amazed at the way you help me sing the song
You right me when i'm wrong
Baby i'm amazed at the way i really need ya'

Baby, i'm a man, oh baby, i'm a lonely man who's in the middle
of something
That he does not really understand
Baby, i'm a man, oh baby, you're the only woman that could ever

64.Memphis, Tennessee

(chuck berry)

Long distance information
Give me memphis tennesee
Help me find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number
But i know what place to call
Because my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall

Help me information
Get in touch with my marie
Shes the only one who'd phone me here
From memphis tennesee
Her house is on the south side
High upon the ridge
Just about a half a mile
From the mississippi bridge

Last time i saw marie
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheeks
That trickeled from her eye
Marie is only six years old
Information please
Try to put me through to her
In memphis tennesee


65.Miss Judy's Farm

(ronnie wood, rod stewart)

Miss judy she was moody
Owned a sweaty farm in old alabam
I was just 18, crude and mean
All i needed was to get my own way
Get out of my way

Miss judy she could have me
Any hour of the working day
She'd send me in the corn field mid afternoon
Said son its all part of your job

Miss judy had a cross eyed poodle
That i would kick if i was given the chance
Never was amused by the kindness i used
I was whipped in the barn until dawn
It hurt me

Last summer we was restless
Were gonna make a stand and burn down your farm
But it was all in the head
Cause out in the yard
Miss judy had the national guard
We was beaten, before we started

Miss judy she was moody
And she always didn't get her own way
Just state the facts, get it right
Kick her when she's down


66.Missed You

(stewart)

Hey pal, let me lean on you and talk awhile
Your planes been delayed by the rain
Or something
I wouldn't even fly away
If i had one good reason to stay
But you said
If you don't need my love
I'm gonna find someone who does
And i'm not hanging around
This old heart is far to proud

She got tired of me
Staying out late everynight
I'd fall up the stair
Thought she'd always be there
But suddenly i'm alone
And i'm not accustomed to sleeping alone

She said if you don't need my love
I'm gonna find someone who does
You've stripped me of everything
And you've torn down all my dreams

Its been two long weeks
Since shes been gone
Thought i had her in the palm of my hands
She said i'm through, don't try to call me
Cause you won't even find me
Cause if you don't need my love
I'm going to find someone who does
And the heartache you've give me
You'll get it back just wait and see

Well, well, well, well
I'd give anything to hold her in my bed again
I just wanna feel her breath on my back
She said my blood can't give her love
No way

She said if you don't need my love
I'm gonna find someone who does
And i'm gonna take our child
Cause i don't want him running wild

Hey pal, i think they just called out your flight
Put down your glass don't forget your boarding pass
And if your looking or you found love
Or sunshine thats enough
Don't play hard to get
Cause that ain't where its at
Give her all your love
Place her high above

I missed you baby
I missed you baby
Yea i missed

68.Morning Dew

(bonnie dobson and tim rose)

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey.
Please walk me out in the morning dew, sometime.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew. i'm sorry, i'm sorry.
Can't walk you out in no morning dew.

Thought i heard a young man cryin'.
Thought i heard a young man cryin' today.
You didn't hear no young man cryin'.
You did not hear no young man cryin'.

Thought i heard a young girl cryin'.
Thought i heard a young girl cryin'.
You, you did not hear no young girl cryin'.
You did not hear no young man cryin'.

Now there is no more morning dew.
Now there is no more morning dew.
What they've been saying all these god-darn' years has come
true,
I knew it would too.
Now there's no more morning dew.

Now there is no more morning dew, at all, oh.
Now there is no more morning dew.
Because, because, because,
What they've been saying all these years has come true,
You know, and only you know,
That there's no more morning dew.

Now, now there is no more morning dew.
People, you know that there's no more morning dew.
Because, because,
What they've been saying all these years has come true,
It had to happen.
You know, that there's no more morning dew.


69.Mother Ain't Dead


70.Move Me

(stewart, brock, davis, stocker, savigar)

It's obvious darlin'
You've become allergic to me
Are my trousers to wide
Do i drink and get mean
Is my demeanor that embarrassing
Are my jokes obsolete
Or is it my sweat that's no longer sweet
I work hard in the factory
To keep you in luxury
To which you've grown accustomed and you love
Lately you don't light my fuse
Is my fan belt coming loose
Punch me in the bible baby please
Move me, move me, move me when i'm home
Why don't you move me, move me
Move me when i'm home

Sometimes baby i awake in the night
I reach out to touch you
But i'm scared you might bite
A little emotion wouldn't be out of place
Wake up and love me put a smile on my face
Otis redding said it best 'try a little tenderness'
Aretha wanted more 'respect'
Give me just a little touch
That ain't really asking much
Your dog gets more attention than i do
Move me, move me, move me when i'm home
Come on and move me, move me, move me when i'm home

Sometimes i wonder if you'll miss me at all
Emotionally independent, as hard as a wall
You're so wrapped up in your own little world
Your old time religion is your lunch with the girls
When i'm standing next to you even in a crowd
I might as well be on another planet
Tell me what i've done to you to justify this ridicule
If it's over why don't we forget it
Move me, soothe me, move me, rock me
Move me when i'm home
Why don't you move me, love me, move me, rock me
Move me when i'm home
Why don't you rock me, move me, love me, soothe me
Move me when i'm home
Why don't you rock me, rock me, move me, soothe me
Soothe me when i'm home


71.My Fault

(ron wood, rod stewart, ian mclagan, 1973)

Take me like you find me
Don't try to change me
You know better than that
Take me as you see me
Don't try to hide me
I ain't used to that
Shout it out loud
Put a bomb in a crowd
If i got something to say
There's nothing that can stop me
I can't let it lay

If i have to fall on my head
Every night of the week
It's gonna be my fault,
No one else
If everything goes wrong
When i'm singing my song
It's gonna be my fault
And no one else
There ain't nothing you can do about it
I've sat and thought it over,
Don't try to help me
I was just born this way,
Yes i was born this way
I ain't gonna change for nobody,
Never, never gonna change

So if everything goes wrong
And i drink all night
It's gonna be my fault
And no one else
People don't change just over night
It ain't natural, so don't
Break it kindly,
Don't hypnotize me
I just won't understand
Take me like you find me
Don't try to change me
You know better than that
Oh don't you know better than that
Oh don't you know better than that
Say i'm just a fool, that's alright
Never try to change me
Or rearrange me, oh yeah


72.My Girl

(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger, appice)

Miss you babe
Miss you babe

She's everywhere i go
She's everything i know
And now i think she's finally
Touched my soul
She's heaven here on earth
Much more than i deserve
And i don't wanna ever let her go
I'm getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups and all her downs

She's every move that i make
She's every breath i take
She's got a hold on me
That i don't wanna break

I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl my girl

My friends keep coming round
Saying come out on the town
What's wrong, you ain't the guy
We used to know
And i tell them i say
Without her by my side
I'm only half alive
I love her so bad
And i don't care if it shows

I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, my girl, my girl

At last my heart has found a home
This time i know where i belong
I mean my girl
Bring her home to me
My girl, can't wait for you to see
My girl, means everything to me
My girl, i just wanna see
My girl, my girl, my girl,my girl


73.Nobody Knows

(ron wood, ronnie lane)

I'm waiting here in patience and i'm waiting all in vain
Will i see you, will i touch you, will i hear you call my name ?
Comin' comin' comin' make
Ten steps to every one step that i take

Nobody comes and nobody goes, no one is happy, and no one has
woes.
Everything lasting, ever the same,
Nothing is ending, nothing can change.

The good lord always has been, always will be ever the same.
And confusion mixed with illusion are years only turn again
With one and one hundred names,
Had all the rooms, our key is to change.

Nobody comes and nobody goes, no one is happy and no one has
woes,
Everything lasting, nothing can change,
Nothing is ending, ever the same

And nothing the same, it's never the same
Ooh hoo


74.Oh Baby, Don't You Do It


75.Ol' Man River

(oscar hammerstein ii and jerome kern)

Old man river, that old man river,
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.

He don't plant tater's,
And we all know he don't pick cotton.
But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.

You and me, we sweat and toil,
Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain, now listen!
Lift that bar, you'd better, tote that bail,
And if ya' get a little drunk,
You'll land in jail.

I'm so weary, and sick of tryin',
I'm tired of livin', but afraid of dyin'.
That, that god-darn' old river, he just keeps rolling along.
Keep on rollin' along.

Keep on rollin' along.
Old man river don't you stop your way.
Keep on runnin' from the north, the south, the east or west,
You gotta roll it ...


76.Ole Ola


77.On The Beach

(wood, lane)

I don't care who is watching
Don't mind what the surfing heads might say
And though i may not be no charlie atlas
Gonna take my shirt off anyway

Now skin and bones sits easy on the high tide
And i'm not one for castles in the sand
I've seen a girl i once knew from the east side
I think i spy a bottle in her hand
I think i spy a bottle in her hand

I don't need to know your birthday
'cause what you tell her i don't claim to be
There's a place i know of called the tick tock
Won't you come and take a walk with me
Won't you come and take a walk with me

Didn't take too much hard work to get her
Melted like a chocolate in my arms
If ... had ever seen it better
It never did the scenery no harm
Never did the scenery no harm.


78.One Night

Released on cd single have i told you lately, 1993
Mike reid, troy seals

Call me a fool
Send me away
I've got to say
It's you i adore
Alone and in love
Falling apart
I followed my heart
Straight to your door
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If you'd give to me

One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that i was born
To make every dream you never had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you

Call me baby

Standing this close
The sound of your voice
Leaves me no choice
Am i so worng
To think ( )
'cause baby you're all
You're all i'm thinking of
Face to face
With all honesty
I would be greatful
If you'd give to me

One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that i was born
To make every dream you've ever had come true
Oh oh oh oh
One night, just one night with you

One night, to lay in your arms
One night, could it be that i was born
One night with you
In all honesty
Just one night
To lay in your arms
Just one, just one night, that's all i want baby

Oh yeah


79.Pineapple And The Monkey

(ron wood)


80.Plynth

(hopkins, wood, stewart)

I've woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as i'm thinking now
Every night for a year i've slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me.

I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know i won't die soon but then again i might
Just like water down the drain i'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help. a ghost of a man, that's me.

I'm going far
Ah, ah, ah

And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-hauntin' me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by.

Ah, ah, ah
Please don't weep for me when i'm gone
Ah, ah, ah

I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know i won't die soon but then again i might
Please don't weep for me when i'm gone
Ah, ah, ah
A fear of death that creeps on every night


81.Pool Hall Richard

(rod stewart, ron wood)
Sweatin' hard, i didn't get a shower
All i did was stand around and get too hot
Knowin' all the people walkin' on my side
Losin' all my money and i'm killin' time
Ol' bill he come a-runnin' like he's gettin' some
Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun
I don't mind but he wants my lady too

You know the crowd gets bigger
As the word goes 'round
Pool hall king was playin' back in town
Minnesota fats standin' up at the back
Tryin' to hide himself in a plastic mack
You ought to hear the silence
When the kid walks in
His reputation's bigger than gasoline
I don't mind but he's tryin' to fill my lady too, ha ha

Pool hall richard
You're far too wicked we know, ha
Pool hall richard
Kid you're wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do

With your yellow carnation
And your pink satin shoe
You make me jealous, but i worship you
One day soon i'm gonna beat you clean
Wipe that smile right off your chin
Everybody gonna drive from miles around
Cuein' up to see me take away your crown
Then you'll never never ever take my lady then

Get out

Pool hall richard
You're far too wicked we know, ha
Pool hall richard
Kid you're wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do

Dig this

Bam goes the brown, that's another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean

Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue
The pool hall king is hustlin' you
Bam goes the 8-ball, didn't see it spin at all
This kid can play, oh yeah

Bam goes the brown, ooh another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean

Damn the pink, one more to sink
Gonna beat you someday
'cause you're makin' me sick
Down on the black, at the back of the pack
Aw, you nearly missed, you ain't so hot

Pool hall richard
Kid you're wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you ... could ever do

You're breakin' my heart
But you're stealin' my tart, no no no
Shut up


82.Ready Now

(stewart, stocker)

I gave trust like an innocent kid
I believed everything you said
A parasite that fed on doubt
Yeah it's you that i'm talking about
You rode heavy on my fame
Then you scandalized my name
You robbed me blind with a ( )
You lacerated your closest friend
I don't know how you sleep at
Night with your conscience
Do they still kiss your feet
And is life as sweet in my absence

I'm ready now, ready now for what i gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how i want to live

I don't want no sweet revenge
It'll come and get you in the end
Laugh now while the truth's unknown
Cause pretty soon it'll be my turn
One of these days and it won't be long
I will find you
Lock up your gates
You'll need all of your snakes
To defend you

I'm ready now, ready now for what i gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how i want to live

I'm bitter now, but wait and see
You ain't heard the last of me
I'll dance on your grave
When they finally put you away
What'd i do to deserve all this evil attention
A thousand years will never buy you redemption

Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give
Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give
Are you ready


83.Red Hot In Black

(r. stewart, j.cregan, k.savigar)

I met her in a little french cafe
Legs like a young giraffe
She was sitting reading baudelaire
Not exactly working class

She had a studio in st. michel
Crucifix around her waist
Che guevara all over the wall
She can't stand the sun on her face

Hey boys, what a look
Stop a train at fifty feet
Matching hair, matching clothes and eyes
Kinda like a tiger in heat
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Revolution running through her veins
A radical from head to toe
The only record that she ever played
Was 'just like a rolling stone'

We started talking by the candlelight
Her lips get closer to mine
We started dancing all around the room
Helped by a bottle of wine

Hey boys, mystery
Didn't even know her name
One night in paris, with a girl like that
Never going home again
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Oh my, when i woke up
She'd already gone out to her work
My head was aching and my back was scratched
I've never, never, never known a night like that

Took a walk along the avenue
So in love and so confused
My plane was leaving in half an hour
What would you have done in my shoes?

Hey boys, so you see
Couldn't get her outa my head
My regards to the folks back home
Gonna spend some time with red
Red hot in black
Red hot in black


84.Rice Pudding

(beck, wood, hopkins, newman)


85.Richmond

(ronnie lane)

I wish i
I wish i was in richmond
I do, i would i
I wish i
I wish i was back home

I'm waitin' here in new york city
The rain is falling
There's no one who cares
There's no one loves me here

The women
They may look very pretty
And some they know it
But some look good
They show a leg and smile
But they all look like the flowers
In someone else's garden
I'll not act on love
For anyone but you

Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm


86.Rosie


87.Ruby Tuesday

(jagger, richards)

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
Nobody knows
She goes and goes

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still i'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still i'm gonna miss you...

There's no time to lose, i heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Still i'm gonna miss you

Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still i'm gonna miss you...

Miss you.....


88.Satisfied

(stewart, taupin, cregan, savigar)

It's a common misconception
About a man's role in this world
A provider and survivor and
A winner who must never fail
But oh how he needs a woman
To reassure and give him strength
Through the darkest nights
And the hardest fights
When there's no other corner left
When the world outside is threatening
And all his dreams have been destroyed
Take him in your arms watch all his guards
Melt like a little boy

Tell him you really need him
Tell him you really care
Tell him you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied

And he may not find it easy
To say what's on his mind
When he's full of doubt
Say 'we'll work it out'
God knows how hard he's trying
And he may never buy you roses
And forget to notice your hair
But as long as he says 'i love you my dear'
That's all you need to hear

Tell him you really need him
Tell him you'll aways care
Tell him you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied

And they say the heart's a hunter
But it's truth you can't deny
He may never be everything you want
But for you he'd lay down and die
So friday night when the phone rings
And he's stuck in a downtown bar
Roll away the stone
Cause the last mile home
Is the longest mile of them all

Tell him you really need him
Tell him you'll always care
Tell him you'll never leave him
He'll be satisfied
Tell him you really want him
Tell him you understand
And tell him that you love him
He'll be satisfied


89.Say It Ain't True

(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)

Look at all the problems
That we've been through
How can you tell me
That there's somebody new
I don't believe that i'm hearing this
I don't really think that you're serious

Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way i've nothing left
You can take my heart but don't steal my pride
Think it over before i'm pushed aside
And tell me

Say it ain't true
That's all you gotta do, baby
Say it ain't true

Well i thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
It's going to hurt when i set you free
I've been loving you too long
You're a part of me

So tell me
Say it ain't true, tell me baby
Say it ain't true

Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me

Say it ain't true
Say it ain't true
Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldn't do you no wrong


90.Shake, Shudder

(ron wood, ronnie lane)

Well i shake and i shudder and i shiver
In my bath while it's cold and my windows are broken,
As my poor dog lays a-chokin' on the floor.

Well i cried to my father and my mother,
There's no justice divine, i wonder when i get mine.
'cause i'm so sick and tired of waitin' for the lord.

I find just what it is i'm looking for

Ooh hoo hoo
Oh yeah

There's a man that wants to show me the river.
Hoofing at five i'll be more dead than alive.
I find a reason to survive when i'm too old.

Should i walk in the lightning and the thunder
On a hilltop so high and show my face to the sky ?
Will i find just what it is i'm looking for ?

I find just what it is i'm looking for
I find just what it is i'm looking for
I find just what it is


91.Shock To The System

Released on cd singles leave virginia alone, 1995 (usa) and on
you're the star, 1995 (europe)
(rod stewart/andy taylor)

Well she came from the motor city
From a clean white neighbor hood
She had a degree in social science
She came out here to hollywood

She's a six foot sultry beauty
With an eye for polynisian art
In a short shirt and doctor martens
She could kick start a dead mans heart

It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
Shes a shock to the system

It's not how she talk
It's all in her walk
It's a shock to the system

Shes a rough cut sacred diamond
In a sea of mediocre style
She just wants the pro shot body
She may be crazy but shes no wild child

She have the old folks out on sundays
Plays piano in a rock and blues band
She don't drink, smoke, dope or do cocaine
But she parties hard all the same

It's not what she say
Its all in her sway
Shes a shock to the system

It's not how she talk
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system

Oh yea
Shock me baby
Shock me baby

As i was walking home one night
In the streets that never sleep
In that sub terrainian part of town
Where love is never found
On a billboard on the topless place
I noticed her pretty face
It said appearing here twice nightly
(...........)

Well she had a whole lot of money
And went back home to michigan
She had maximized her potential
But didn't scandilaze the family name

It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
It's a shock to the system

It's not how she talk
It's all in her walk
She's a shock to the system

It's not what she say
It's all in her sway
It's a shock to the system

It's not how she talk
It's all in her walk
It's a shock to the system


92.Shotgun Wedding

(roy hammond)

People were standing, all around
At a shot gun wedding, here in this town
And i'm a victim oh yea
Of a shotgun wedding
Cause your fathers got a gun
And there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding and oh listen to me

Well i got to find a job
You, me, baby makes three
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, wedding oh yea
Cause your fathers got a gun
And there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding
And all i could hear that day was
Do you take this woman
To be your lawful wedded wife
My my my my shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun wedding
I looked around
I looked around
And all i could see was a shotgun wedding....listen

But i tried to run from town
But her mother tracked me down
She said before i meet my maker,
Some mans gonna make an honest woman of my daughter
So it might as well be you
Oh daddy may be poor
But he owns a forty forty
Shotgun wedding
And oh i'm walking up the aisle right now

Here comes the bride singing
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun.....yea yeaaaa
I could of run away oh no i could be living high
Nobody could stop me now oh shotgun, shotgun
Just give me one more chance
Let me hear that bass boys that bass boys
Breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
Breaking my heart........


93.Silicone Grown

(rod stewart, ron wood)

Wait a minute honey
I don't think the joke's so too funny, no
I stayed up all night
Checking out the doctor's guide
Wait a minute honey
Stop pretending you're a bunny
Well i might've guessed
You been to see a specialist.

I remember you said
That we gotta keep a breast of time
But obviously you don't know where to draw the line, well
Don't try to tell me it's a-what you been eating
Since when have you been forty-four around (get on with the
song, yeah)

Dig this, at the moulin rouge tell you baby, we could knock'em
dead
Just sign right here all i need is ten per cent.
Well, now you make me feel like a pimp in the white house
For a senator's daughter you're stealing all the headline news,
All the headline news.

Oh shake me, shake me, shake me up all night long
We all need a laugh and i guess you're just the one
Well you got more front than haig museum
Oh home grown silicone you really got the best of me
You got the best of me


94.Skye Boat Song


95.So Soon We Change

(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)

Seems like only yesterday
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Fun we had when first met
Ain't been around much since
Sharing every hour every day
Funny how time slips away
But there's no replacement, baby
When the good times fade away

Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we change
Oh how soon we changed

You remember casey's bar
And maxfields after dark
We were different people then
Inseparable never apart
But now the novelty is wearing thin
We spend most time arguing
It was all so easy then
It'll never be again

Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed

I thought i knew you inside out
But obviously i was wrong
Makes no difference what i say
We just don't get along
Face the facts it can never last
We're driffing apart real fast
I'd gladly give up everything
To start all over again

Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed


96.So Tired

(stewart)

By the time i was home
I was feeling bad
Never the less i go mine
Straight out of bed
I was feeling my head
But i'm
So, tired i just got to get home
So, tired i just got to get home

Surely its time
You should face the facts
I'm not the one that you need
I don't need to feed you
Or need you or lead you im
So, tired i just want to get home
So, tired i just wanna get home

I've never been one
For just putting around
Keep it in my trousers all night
Surely i'm right
When you stay out all night
And i'm
So, tired i just wanna go home
So, tired i just wanna, wanna,
Wanna go home

And you know that your
Out of your depth my dear
When you take home
Someone like me
Its been such a long time
I can hardly stay out
And i'm
So, tired i just wanna go home
So, tired i just wanna go home
So, tired i just wanna go home
And i'm so


97.Somebody Special

(rod stewart, steve harley / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)

How can you say life's getting you down
Get yourself out go along with the crowd
You're all dressed up got nowhere to go
You feel left out cause nobody showed
Listen babe

When you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere

Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you
Somebody special is longing for you
Somebody special, special

Magazine dreams are easy stuff
But heaven knows they ain't good enough
Picture yourself from reel to reel
And get your hands on that driving wheel
And you know what

When it's hard to satisfy
A simple simple fantasy
Somebody somewhere is on your side
Waiting for you, crying

Somebody special, is looking for you
Somebody special, is searching for you
Somebody special, is waiting for you
Somebody special, somebody special

Maybe your heart's tormenting you
Why should it have any reason to
Wipe off that negativity
Put on some positivity

And when you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere

Somebody special, is dreaming of you
Somebody special, is looking for you
Somebody special, is waiting for you
Somebody special, somebody special


98.Spanish Boots

(beck, stewart, wood)

I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a foundry
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a 'so long!'
Long spanish boots on a 'so long!'

I took a day job in bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a 'so long!'
High spanish boots on a 'so long!'
Dig it

I took a spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
But oh, mr. nesbitt got the best of me
So i strapped on my boots and said 'so long!'
Laced up my high boots and 'so long!'
Goodbye

... am on a job you see
'cause my old boots they mean too much to me
Leather boots are just a mystery
Put on my boots and said 'so long!'
High spanish boots on and 'so long!'
Put on my boots and said 'so long!'

Those old spanish boots
Put on my boots and said 'so long!'
High spanish boots


99.Stand Back

(stevie nicks)

No one looks as i walk by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to her again, again and again
First she took my heart then she ran
No one knows just how i feel
What i say unless you read between the lines
One girl walked away from me
First she took my head and then she
Take me home.

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry

Do not turn away my friend
Like a river i can bend
No one calls out my name
And no one came
So i walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your protected from all that you do
One girl, did not call
She asked me for my love and that was all

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry

So i walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your attention was more than i could do
One girl, did not fall
She asked me for my love and that was all

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry

Gotta find a little sympathy ....
Try and ask me anything....
Gotta find a little sympaty....
Can i find a little sympathy.....


100.Stone

(ronnie lane)

Well once i was a stone and many years ago
Into a pool i was thrown, a many years ago.
Time passed by, the pool ran dry, escaped was i.
And tempered the beat came a fiery heat,
By the aim of a man, who's name was dann, dann the blacksmith.

Well once i was a sword, a many years ago.
And my blade was broad, a many years ago.
Worn my pride, in a battle i'd ride at a warrior side.
And i cut and i killed and was lost in the field,
And soon did rust, and corrode to dust, oh my.

Well and once i was a daisy, a many years ago.
In pastures green and lazy, a many years ago.
But i was hit by goat who fell in the moat, and forgetting to
float
He sunk like a lead and stayed until dead,
But was relieved to find, oh lord, just how kind it all was.

Well and once i was a grub, a many years ago.
And i lived in blood red mud, a many years ago.
But on the very first noon i became a cocoon that resembled a
prune.
When the good work was done in the warmth of the sun.
I shed my skins, and dried my wings, and i flew away.

Well and once i was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival.
And once i was a carp and lived in waters on the mantle.
And once i was a man of earth, quoting verses from the bible,
Said i played them all, i played them all, st. luke.

Well and once i was a mule, a many years ago.
But my master he treat me cruel, a many years ago.
By and by i was sick, couldn't move to his kick, so he took out
a stick
And hit it right 'cross my back with an almighty crack,
And to his dismay, i passed away, into the blue.

Then i was born a human baby, a many years ago.
Well i remember i was born unto a lady, a many years ago.
All our hopes they were found on the back of a child that turned
out to be wild.
Sent the devil a prayer and caused the pope to swear.
So i took my leave, to lie and plead, on my way to jail.

Well i've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor.
I've known good times and disaster.
Oh but now i've found a teacher, and the teacher has a master,
And the master is perfection, so he helps us get there faster.
Oh it don't need no proof, because that's the truth, and i'll
drink to that.
