Temptation LyricsRusted brandy in a diamond glass // Everything is made from dreams
Time is made from honey slow and sweet // Only the fools know what it means
Temptation, temptation, temptation // Temptation, temptation, I can't resist
I know that she is made of smoke // But I've lost my way
He knows that I am broke // So that I must play
Temptation, temptation, temptation // Temptation, temptation, I can't resist
Dutch pink and Italian blue // She is waiting there for you
My will has disappeared // Now my confusions oh so clear
Temptation, temptation, temptation // Temptation, temptation, I can't reisist
St. James Infirmary Lyrics
I went down to St. James Infirmary // Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table // So cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her // Where ever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over // She won't ever find another man like me
When I die, bury me in straight laced shoes // A box back suit and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain // So the boys know I died standing pat
I want six - crap shooters for bearers // Pretty women - to sing me a song
Stick a jazz band - on my hearse wagon // Let them raise some Hell - as I roll along
So roll out - your rubber tired carriage // And get your horses all in black
Ten men are going to the graveyard // But only nine are coming back
Now that I've- told my story // I'll take another - shot of booze
And if anyone - should happen to ask me // I've got those gamblers' blues
Jockey full of Bourbon Lyrics
Edna million in a drop dead suit // Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot // I'm on the corner in the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest // I been drinking from the broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest // I'm full of bourbon and I can't stand up
Hey little bird, fly away home // Your house is on fire, your children alone
Hey little bird, you fly away home // Your house is on fire, your children alone
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head // I'm stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head // All through the bar's of a Cuban jail
Bloody finger's on a purple knife // Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm all alone with someone else's wife // Admire the view from the top of the mast
Hey little bird, fly away home // Your house is on fire, your children alone
Hey little bird, fly away home // Your house is on fire, your children alone
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed // Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride
To the carnival is what she said // One hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Edna million in a drop dead suit // Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot // I'm on the corner in the pouring rain
Hey little bird, fly away home // Your house is on fire, your children alone
Hey little bird, fly away home // Your house is on fire, your children alone
Follow you down Lyrics
If I could turn back time // Capture your pain
Stand as your guard and // Cut your chain // Cut your chain
Wanna stay by your side // Keep your head above ground
If you leap or you fall // I wil follow you down // I wil follow you down
Wish I could drive you on // And get you back in the game
Get you on board and // Catch your train // Catch your train
Share you anger and hurt // It won’t chase me away
And if you want to leave // I will make you stay // I will make you - stay
I wanna help you mend // And wash away the stain
Weather the storm, I // Don't mind the rain // Don’t mind the rain
I don’t know how to start, but // I’ll stick around
What ever you need // I wil follow you down // I wil follow you - down
Stories Lyrics
Let me tell you ‘bout a girl I know // She lives next door, and she told me so
She couldn’t help finding her way // Down a dark and lonely road
Getting lost is a scary-thing // But there’s no telling what it might bring, and …
Staying down // Will keep you in the background // Staying blue // Won’t help you get through
Let me tell you ‘bout a boy I met // He hasn’t found-the-girl of his dreams, yet
He’s afraid to end up alone // So his heart is turning slowly to stone
Loneliness is so unkind // But if you don’t look you will not find, oh …
I know a woman, she smiles on the outside // But fears to know, so she starts to hide
She don’t understand, why she’s feeling so sad // Despite reaching every goal she ever had
You’ll lose your way when you reach the end // But opportunities will come again, so …
Staying down // Will keep you in the background // Staying blue // Won’t help you get through
I remember travelling with a man // He felt he never really took a stand …
He could never find the right time // I said: Listen brother, it’s your dime
Standing up for what you believe // Will make you wear your heart on you sleeve, ah
I played a game with a kid on a train // Imagination in the fast lane
The sky was the limit, he was hell-bent and wild // I couldn’t help it, I started to smile
Why do we fear when we grow old // Why do we suddenly start to turn cold
Staying down // Will keep you in the background // Staying blue // Won’t help you get through
I met Death on a river boat // He was busy taking note, he said …
Silly people, trying to hide // But this ain’t a test, so enjoy the ride
If you want, you can live every day // You only die once, and that’s a small price to pay, and …
Staying down // Will keep you in the background // Staying blue // Won’t help you get through
It ain't necessarily so Lyrics
It ain't necessarily so // It ain't necessarily so
The things - that you're liable // To read in the Bible // It ain't necessarily so.
Now David - was small but oh my // Yeah, David was small - but oh my
He fought big goliath // Who lay down and dieth // David was small but oh my.
To get into heaven, don't stop for a second // Live clean forget your faults
I take the gospel whenever I’m able // With a grain of salt
Oh Jonah - lived in a whale // Jonah lived in a whale
He made his home in // A fish’es abdomen // Jonah he lived in a whale
To get into heaven, don't stop for a seven - Live clean forget your faults
I take gospel whenever I’m able - But with a grain of salt
Methuselah lived 900 years // Methuselah lived 900 years
Who calls that livin' // When no gal will give in // To no man what's 900 years
It ain't necessarily so // It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable // To read in the Bible // It ain't necessarily so
Downtown Lyrics
Let’s go down to the city // Let’s go out for the night
Let’s take on it, Honey // Everything is alright
Let’s take in the summer // Let’s find a place with a decent drummer
I wanna go, honey // I wanna be in the low life, Honey
I just wanna go where somethings up // Don’t wanna take it slow
Don’t want it to stop // I wanna let you know
Oh Baby, just come out with me tonight!
Ain’t no worry, no Baby // Ain’t no worry tonight
Downtown’s calling us, Baby // Let’s chase the neon light
Let’s drop in on old-town // Let’s pick out a joint with a decent sound
I wanna go, honey // I wanna be in the low life, Honey
I just wanna go where somethings up // Don’t wanna take it slow
Don’t want it to stop // I wanna let you know
Oh Baby, just come out with me tonight!
Let’s not wait any longer // Let’s go hit the odd scene
Let me show you a good time // Darling, you know what I mean
I just wanna be your Queen // Please take me to places that I’ve never been
I wanna go, honey // I wanna be in the low life, Honey
I just wanna go where somethings up // Don’t wanna take it slow
Don’t want it to stop // I wanna let you know
Oh Baby, just come out with me tonight!
Flow with it Lyrics
Sittin’ here waiting // For someone to call
Don’t mind waiting // Just took a fall
Time is running slow // I’m on the down low
And the night, comes to call // I’m in it for the-long-hall
Sittin’ here thinking // Mmm ‘bout what to do
Don’t mind waiting // Ain’t got a clue
The hours drift on by // And the sun sets – In the sky
And I try, to see it through // I got a new blue
Sittin’ here deciding // Where to go
Don’t mind waiting // I’ll just take it slow
Feeling better now // I’m not sure how
And the light starts to glow // Here on the back row
Lucky Devil Lyrics
I like to be that lucky devil // Who gets to burn with you
I’ll learn to live on that lower level // With a big-box friend or two
Well I’m no angel, my wings been clipped // I traded my halo for horns and a whip
I like to be that lucky devil // Who gets to burn with you, that’s true // I’d like to burn with you
Autumn Blues Lyrics
Don’t wan’t this feeling to last
Don’t wanna get caught in the past
Don’t wanna have to stay strong,
‘Cause you know it, ’cause you know it never, ever last for long
Don’t wanna breathe in the cold
Don’t want the same old pain to unfold
Don’t wanna follow that call
'Cause you know it, don’t you know it never – ever work at all
You don’t ever have to worry // You don’t ever have to pray
Just stay right here beside me // And keep the pain away
Don’t wanna take on the blame
Don’t wanna play the same old game
Don’t wanna think about way back when
'Cause, I need to – now I need to leave it – all behind, again
Summertime Lyrics
Summertime // And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' // And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich // And your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby // Don't you cry
One of these mornings // You're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings // And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning // There ain't nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mummy // Mummy standin' by, don't you cry
