Time Keeps Slipping Away

TIME KEEPS SLIPPING AWAY
Time keeps slipping away, and I don’t know what to do
And I don’t know what to say
Gotta get home, back to bed
Gotta find a place to rest my head
Everything is spinning around in my mind,
and I don’t know if I’m living or dying
Everybody says ‘Take it easy’
But that ain’t that easy to do
But I gotta chill out sometime
And get rid of these blues
Weeks keep passing by, they just seem to fly
Used to think I’d never get old
Couldn’t care less if I caught a cold
Everything is spinning around in my mind,
and I don’t know if I’m living or dying
Everybody says ‘Take it easy’
But that ain’t that easy to do
But I gotta chill out sometime
And get rid of these blues
Maybe I don’t know how lucky I am
Maybe I don’t know I’m a fortunate man
Maybe soon I’ll see
Maybe I don’t know how lucky I am
Maybe someday soon I’ll understand
Maybe then I’ll see
Clock keeps ticking on before you know the day is gone
It’s the dawning of reality
What the hell did I want to be
Everything is spinning around in my mind,
and I don’t know if I’m living or dying
Everybody says ‘Take it easy’
But that ain’t that easy to do
But I gotta chill out sometime
And get rid of these blues
Maybe I don’t know how lucky I am
Maybe I don’t know I’m a fortunate man
Maybe soon I’ll see
Maybe I don’t know how lucky I am
Maybe someday soon I’ll understand
Maybe then I’ll see
Days just disappear - oops there goes another year
And I wonder what did I do
One of these days I’ll be breaking thro’

I’m A Stone
I live in the backwoods not a million miles from the city
Some call it a deadsville but that ain’t the way I see it
And It don’t take a lot of deduction
That when I see Miss Sweet Seduction
I’m a Stone from a country zone
I’m a Stone but I’m not alone
You can throw me up against a wall I’ll bounce back to you
You can fill me with lies & deceit I’ll see straight through you
But it don’t take a lot of deduction
That when I see Miss Sweet Seduction
I’m a Stone from a country zone
I’m a Stone but I’m not alone
Hey all you sixties freaks trying to tell me the futures’ bleak
It’s time to just let it lay the futures here & it starts today
But it don’t take a lot of deduction
That when I see Miss Sweet Seduction
I’m a stone from a country zone
I’m a stone but I’m not alone
You can find me down the Star drinking hooting & hollering
You can see me walking the dog and just about following

HEARTBREAKER OF THE 1st DEGREE
Here you come with your pretty face & your sparkling eyes
But you’ll know it’s just a thin disguise
It’s a pose, just to win my favour
Telling me that you’ll be my saviour
Goodness knows how you lead me on
You’ll take my heart, then you’ll be gone
You’re a heartbreaker of the 1st degree
You don’t give a damn about me No
Here you come with your long legs & your sexy smile
But it’ll only take you a little while
You’re just a face, here to win my heart
Then you’re gonna pull it apart
Goodness knows how you lead me on
You’ll take my heart, then you’ll be gone
You’re a heartbreaker of the 1st degree
You don’t give a damn about me No
Here you come with your fancy clothes & all your make-up
Telling that we ain’t ever gonna break up
You lie, you cheat, I’m for the taking
I can already hear my heart a-breaking
Goodness knows how you lead me on
You’ll take my heart, then you’ll be gone
You’re a heartbreaker of the 1st degree
You don’t give a damn about me No

Lazy Day
Sky is blue sun is shining we’re nice and relaxed with no one whining
It’s bliss I give my woman a kiss
We needed this time away; we’re having another lazy day
There ain’t a cloud to spoil the view; it’s so good just me and you
It’s fun enjoying the sun
We needed this time away; we’re having another Lazy Day
Lazy, Lazy; Lazy, Lazy
We’re having another Lazy Day
We’re so busy most of the time; it’s so good to bask in the sunshine
We’re relaxed; no time to be taxed
We needed this time away; we’re having another lazy day
Lazy, Lazy; Lazy, Lazy
We’re having another Lazy Day

If I met My Hero
If I met my hero, what would he say to me
He’d tell me just keep going, do what you love
Just keep going and all you need is love
If I met my hero what would he say to me
He’d tell me just keep going, ain’t no doubt
Just keep going, I’m sure you can work it out
If I met my hero what would he say to me
I’d tell him I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing
Without him and his mates.
And I’ll still keep doing it till
I reach the pearly gates
If I met my hero what would he say to me

HELD IN YOUR GLOW
It’s in my heart & in my soul
Where I come, where I go
And there’s something you should know
I am held in your glow
And so as we go through life
Take the bad & the nice
There is something you should know
I am held in your glow
So find a place to reside
Where you can follow the rising tide
Take everything nice & slow
And we shall go with the flow
So bang the drum & sing the song
Hope this life will last long
But there is something you should know
I am held in your glow
So find a place to reside
Where you can follow the rising tide
Take everything nice & slow
And we shall go with the flow
It’s in my heart & in my soul
Where I come, where I go
And there’s something you should know
I am held in your glow

Face The Facts

FACE THE FACTS
Face the facts, you ain’t what you used to be
Face the facts, and you’re no longer free
You go running around pleasing everyone in town
But you just ain’t pleasing me
Face the facts, now don’t you run and hide
Face the facts, and don’t keep talking lies
You don’t wanna take the blame but everybody knows your name
Now somewhere in that you should take pride
Oh I know it’s not easy
Trying to please everyone
Oh I know it’s not easy
But I think you’re wrong
You just gotta be strong
Face the facts, looks can sometimes deceive
Face the facts, you gotta be careful what you believe
But all you give me is hearsay on people judging people
& if I hear anymore I might just leave
Oh I know it’s not easy
Trying to please everyone
Oh I know it’s not easy
But I think you’re wrong
You just gotta be strong
Face the facts, you know it is the thing to do
Face the facts, stand up for what is true
But you go feigning it all and no wonder you can’t walk tall
And your mind is definitely askew
Face the facts, you’re slipping through the cracks
You gotta, you gotta, face the facts

Losing Streak

LOSING STREAK
That winning feeling has deserted me
I seem to have lost my touch
I try my best, do all I can
But I just can’t seem to beat the man
I’m on a losing streak
Well I’ll turn the tables, I know I will
That seems to be the way
But sometimes you just have to hold your hands up
When it just ain’t your day
I’m on a losing streak
Someday I’ll get back to my peak
The good times I seek
I don’t want to be on a losing streak
The tide will turn, I can see it coming
Good luck will be with me
But until that time I know
I’ll just have to live with defeat
I’m on a losing streak
Someday I’ll get back to my peak
The good times I seek
I don’t want to be on a losing streak
I’ll hold my head up, there’s no point in getting down
When you let it get to you
It makes your chin drag
Along the ground
I’m on a losing streak

Life on the Road
Got my cowboy boots, they say you gotta look the part
Got my brand new suit and blues from the heart
Got my google map and a postcode to reach
Got a hard hat on and it’s into the breach
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
Got a brand new van and a band to kill
Playing for love at the bottom of the bill
Got my google map and a postcode to reach
Got my hard hat on and it’s into the breach
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
Got personalised Pics and a Gretsch Guitar
Got cds for sale and they’re under my arm
Got a google map and a postcode to reach
Got my hard hat on and it’s into the breach
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
Got a fender amp and a telecaster too
And I just keep peddling that old country blues
Got my google map and a post code to reach
Got my hard hat on and it’s into the breach
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road
That’s life on the road, That’s life on the road

Straight Down The Middle
People dragging you either way, people complaining there’s no happy days
We go straight down the middle, that’s the line
Straight Down the middle, we’ll be just fine
People saying we’re lost, people saying we’re found
We go straight down the middle, that’s the line
Straight down the middle, we’ll be just fine
Too much of me. Too much of you, ain’t the way
If we work together, we’ll be ok
Too much of me. Too much of you ain’t the way
If we work together, we’ll be ok
You can’t control at all and if you try, you’re bound to fall and I’ll tell you why
We go straight down the middle, that’s the line
Straight Down the middle, we’ll be just fine

Dreams Can Come True
When I first saw you, I knew you were great, I told my woman I didn’t hesitate
You believed in me I believed in you, the message of love was coming through
I know Dreams can come true, just got to do what you do
I know dreams can come true
You fought for justice for everyone, you played the blues and had some fun
You believed in me I believed in you, the message of love was coming through
I know dreams can come true, just got to do what you do
I know dreams can come true
You were never afraid to be who you were, mixed all the music up in a blur
You believed in me I believed in you, the message of love was coming through
I know dreams can come true, just got to do what you do
I know dreams can come true
