I was a city child with a dead end smile. And a worm's-eye point of view. Oh, I knew my way, I was a back street stray. And I had my eyes on you. . Now I got this friend and he's a screwdriver jiver.
(mick ralphs). . Maybe I'm just a loser. Maybe it's because my boots ain't as clean as they could be. Came to town with an even chance. I'm feeling down the people I meet ain't fair to me.
(mick ralphs/ian hunter). . Well the colours cross my mind in a wave. And the feelings that I find so very hard to say. And I've gone with the rain making out.
All right, come on now. . Well it's Sunday afternoon. I'm sitting in my living room. And I'm stung by love. Baby, don't care about me. . She got a place on the North End Road.
Alright. . Whenever I think about the life I used to live by. I wonder when I'm gonna get back. It seems a long time since I moved into the city. Gotta get away from all that.
(overend watts). . They never said when I was back in school I had ability. They pushed me on and now I'm aiming for the top and that's my prophesy. Better start backing away I got such a ? on me.
Baby, baby tried to phone you, they said you were gone. Baby, baby please come home to me where you belong. Foxy, Foxy, you're all I have to hold. Don't leave me alone, out in the cold.
Eight-track machine playing 'Half Moon Bay'. Drivin' in my Volks down on Hamstead Way. Her mother got bust on a 88. And her brother got stuck on my number plate, yeah.
(whitten). . Come on baby lets go downtown, lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.. Come on baby let me turn you around, I'll turn you, turn you, turn you around..
Yes, I've been dreaming about you every day. Every day, each and every day. And I've been thinking about you all night long. I even wrote a song. . Just to try and tell you how I really feel.
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow. Take my hand let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow. In the silence of your deep. . Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning.
See my thoughts and then see my scars. See my clothes, I dress to kill. See my blood and see my gun. . The crash street kids are comin to get ya. (Better run, better run, better run).
(3,4! 3,4! 3,4!). . (Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh,. ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh). . All this energy calling me, back where it comes from..
Baby took me out last night. Got a little Cadillac bite. Shook me about, inside out. Didn't get home till light. . She's a grower, a goer. You gotta get to know her.
(bob dylan). . And the answers my friends. Still blowing in the wind. The answers still blowing in the wind. (thank you).
Momma's little jewel, just out of school. Fresh from the nuns that made you. Don't know why but I'm going to try. To re-in-celibate you. . Momma's little jewel, you got the rules.
You could never know just how sad I feel. 'Cause I've been down so long and I don't know. Where to come. . Looking out the back door. To the empty hills beyond over there.
I changed my name in search of fame to find the Midas touch. Oh I wish I'd never wanted then what I want now, twice as much. We crossed the mighty oceans and we had a few divides.
(ian hunter). . I dreamt of being horses in shackles of gold. And the men that were young then are now terribly old. The graveyard was creaking with too many bones.
