Wine is sweet, gin is bitter. Drink all you can but you won't forget her. You talk too much, you laugh too loud. You see her face in every crowd. . That's the price of love, the price of love.
Slide into my open legs, I'm longing to be vicarious in my deceit.. . Hooked on the pull, forever playin', how i long for.... . I wanted to say, I can make no sense..
If you see me go, well, don't you look my way. You just turn your head, don't you watch me walk away. . Well, you know, my gal, this time I'm leavin' you to stay.
Just when you think that you know it all. You'll never fall and that it's all good. And you're gonna win again, it's a sin, that's gonna mess you up. .
A dank back room in Kensal Rise. Is alright in summertime. But as the daylight fades to gloom. I wanna leave the room. . Faithless apologies. All broken promises.
Watch my eyes, now, they're spinning round. I'm gonna cut you to the ground. Like bullets from a machine gun. Watch out, 'cause here I come. . I've got petrol on my tongue.
They told me doncha go down to that city. Don't you go down to that city, I say. For there's trouble there for sure and it's no concern of yours. And it's all I have to hear them people say.
I said. I think I'm workin' too hard. And you said yeah. I said. I just might quit that job. And you said yeah. . I can't say your not listening. But baby won't you talk to me.
If I had a ship, I'd sail away. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. Leave my sorrows where they lay. If I had a ship, I'd sail away. . Stroll down by the sea.
Bobby's perfecting his Frisbee technique. I'm working on my tan. Neighbor comes over looking none to pleased. For a word across the back fence. Wonders would it be too much to ask.
Well, no matter where I wandered I know I'll always find a welcome at the end of every journey. There'll be friendly people waitin'. . [Chorus:]. California would not hold me 'though I loved her timber mountains..
Better bite your tongue now. Better lock up your jaw. Better pull the blinds down. Better close all your doors. . Its the taste that you get when youre lying.
Chorus:. Oh, I'm a rake and a ramblin' boy. There's many a city, Lord, I did enjoy,. But now I'm married, got a pretty little wife and I love her dearer than I love my life..
Hope, everybody needs hope. Some kind of peace of mind. That they can call their own. . And everybody needs love. Just a little trust, 'cause sometimes.
Have you met my sister Magpie?. She wants to have a piece of your mind. Among the bright young things she keeps. She's a relic from the 70's. . Sister Magpie tried to steal the moon.
Alex Harvey. . I like to hear the rain when you're lying by my side, 'neath the fireplace, so soft and warm.. I like to hear the rain when you're locked inside my arms and I know you feel safe from any harm..
Tears on the phone, 'round midnight. You assume that I will be alone. She hurt you once, hurt you twice. You keep asking for my advice. . How many times you have to hear the truth.
The smell of soap and cigarettes. A litter bin of social debts. I never learnt I never learn. You've got to laugh I just get burned. . Head in a vice, do it up tight.
You had some really crazy ideas before. I could never figure out that mind of yours. Always wantin to explore. The absolutely outrageous. . You over analyze and let your mind wander.
Tom Paxton. . It's a long and a dusty road. It's a hard and a heavy load and the folks we meet ain't always kind.. Some are bad and some are good. Some have done the best they could. Some have tried to ease our troubling mind..
