Wishbone Ash Hot Ash Lyrics
1.Bad Weather Blues

Well, i been away,
I said i been away for so long.
Tell me, have you,
Have you done me wrong?
Can i tell by the look that's in your eyes,
Have you kept your loving locked away inside?
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
I done time, i got carried away,
I done laid this high-class babe out in the hay,
Spent half a year in the jailhouse all alone -
This never would have happened if i'd stayed at home, oh no.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?

Come on everybody, then, clap your hands in the air.
Come on, a little bit louder, a little bit louder,
Come on everybody. i'll teach you, come on,
We want to hear you. louder, louder!
We want you all to join in with us -
When we say 'yeah', when we say 'yeah',
We want you to say 'yeah'. you got it?
Come on, are you ready? can't hear you!
That's better, here we go.

Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can you shake the dust, can you shake the dust,
Can you make me shine?
Can you shake the dust and make me shine
Like they do in sheffield all the time?

Been everywhere around the world,
Seen every, every kind of girl, yeah.
But it moves me the way that i think i know,
And it weakens me, so make your loving flow.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?

Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues.


2.Blowin' Free

I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.

She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.

In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.


3.Doctor

Doctor can you help me please
I'm laying on the floor
I need a glass of something
Like you gave me once before
I'll send my little messenger
He'll bring the money to you
He'll slowly make his way back home
There'll be no horror show today my friends
And me we'll be up and get away
If i fill your every need
You won't feel so empty
In my web i'll bet your life
You're dead before you're thirty

Doctor can you help me please
I trust you like my mum
I know that you won't stop me turning
All the whole world on
You know that i'll always come to you
When everything goes wrong
You pick me up, don't let me go down
To the horror show today my friend's
And me we'll be up and get away


4.Goodbye Baby, Hello Friend

I'll never write another song
For someone who just comes along -
The very thought of losing you
Is too much for me to.

The other day when you got mad,
It made you happy to see me sad.
I wish to tell you it's still the same,
Still playing that same old game.

It's goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to meet you after all this time.
Goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to see you again. (repeat)

Those days and nights i lost,
Thinking 'bout what to do -
When all it's really down to, baby,
Is saying that we're through.

So give your love to the birds,
Speaking of four-letter words.
Do you hear what i say to you?
I'm not in love with you.

Goodbye baby, hello friend,
It's good to see you again. (repeat)


5.Helpless

Ooh, there's something happening, ooh.
Ooh, there's something happening, ooh. (repeat)
Won't you take my love forever,
Won't you take my love for you,
Won't you take my love together,
Won't you give me your love too?

I will give you my love gladly
And i hope you'll give me yours.
Somehow we can live together -
Could not love you any more.

I'm so helpless, helpless -
I can feel you're helpless too. (repeat)
I'm so helpless, helpless -
So helpless without you.


6.Living Proof

Why does love have to?
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will i want more?

Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.

Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesn't convince me
'cause they just want to buy me a drink.

Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, i'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue
sea.

It's night in the city,
I'm filled with self-pity -
I'm taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear i just don't care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.

I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof. (repeat)


7.No Easy Road

Rock 'n roll keeps dragging me
Where i don't know and you can't see
Cities keep rolling by and by
Twist my arm and sting my eye

Watch me join the circus
Watch me steal the show
There ain't no easy money
There ain't no easy road

Buy me, pay me, wonder why we
Stumble across the land
Don't fail for me, i can't fail for you
We start to understand


8.The Way Of The World Pt. 1

Keep the wheels turning
On this lonely road
A slave of mother nature
I've got to get back home
Such a grey coloured nightmare
Of what used to be so good
Dreams and desires
It's the way - the way of the world.

See a light in the distance
Going to show me the way
Another road to be taken
Another stage to be on
Carry me, carry me
A little closer home
Dreams and desires
It's the way - the way of the world.

Stormy weather, take me to
Back where i belong.
At the airport, on the plane,
Now i'm going home.
Takes so long, flying high,
I just love the way of the world.
