I Woke Up This Morning lyrics I woke up this morning feeling very strange I woke up this morning with sin on my mind The devil invades my dreams time after time But I’ve had enough of always doing wrong I know I’m weak, but I must be strong For I’ve been a sinner all my life I lost my children and my wife I just couldn’t go change my ways I did wrong with each passing day I sing the Blues with Gospel too The devil and God’s within me and you I sing the Blues with Gospel too The devil and God’s within me and you Oh devil, go away from my door I don’t wanna sin any more Oh devil, go away from my door I don’t wanna sin any more I see wrong doing wherever I go On the hill up high in the valley below Darkness like a veil covers this land What can I do, I’m just a man Oh help me Lord to do what’s right Remove this veil so I can see the light I’ve been blind please give me sight So I can see in the day and night I sing the Blues with Gospel too The devil and God’s within me and you I sing the Blues with Gospel too The devil and God’s within me and you Oh devil, go away from my door I don’t wanna sin any more Oh devil, go away from my door I don’t wanna sin any more The man in a black coat asked me for a prayer He had barbed wire teeth and fire in his hair I said ‘My pockets are empty, I’ve nothing to give’ He said ‘Look in your soul, it’s where God lives’ Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be Shine a light on me and set me free Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be Shine a light on me and set me free Make me pure, make me clean Make me see you in my dreams I sing the Blues with Gospel too The devil and God’s within me and you Oh devil, go away from my door I don’t wanna sin any more I sing the Blues with Gospel too The devil and God’s within me and you Oh devil, go away from my door I don’t wanna sin any more I’m gonna sing ‘Hallelujah’ I’m gonna sing ‘Hallelujah’ Brothers and sisters Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 486147AV

I Sold My Soul to the Devil lyrics (‘So, what’s the deal here? Sure I wanna play that guitar, yeah, like no man before me, so what’s the deal’? I sold my soul to the devil Won’t get it back from there (so, what’s the deal?) I sold my soul to the devil And less I could really not care Been standing at the crossroads And my tongue it was on fire Been standing at the crossroads Being tempted by desire I sold my soul to the devil And I won’t get it back from there I sold my soul to the devil And less I surely could not really care I faxed my soul up to heaven Don’t think that it arrived I faxed my soul up to heaven I want to get out of here alive It’s the end of the highway And the judges wait for us It’s the end of the highway Soon we’ll be no more than dust We’ll be no more than dust Sold my soul to the devil Sold my soul to the devil Sold my soul to the devil Sold my soul Sold my soul Sold my soul to the devil Sold my soul to the devil Sold my soul to the devil I faxed my soul up to heaven I wanna get outta here alive It’s the end of the highway And the judges wait for us It’s the end of the highway Soon we’ll be no more than dust Play for the devil Play for the devil I faxed my soul up to heaven Don’t think that it arrived, no I faxed my soul up to heaven Just trying to survive I want to get out of here alive I sold my soul to the devil Won’t get it back from there Soul to the devil It’s my ticket to go anywhere Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 479872EP

Blood and Wine lyrics Watching the world from the top of this hill I can’t understand man’s desire to kill I see people act like they’re gods Mistreating others as if they were dogs Tell me are those coins in your hand Worth the price of the life of a man? Tell me are those coins in your hand Worth the price of the life of a man? Life of a man Lord, Lord On this hill with my hands full of nails Looks like I’ve lost and that everything failed Even my friends turn their backs on me Others I trusted pretend they don’t see Do you think those coins that you hold Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold? Tell me Do you think these coins that you hold Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold? Tell me I can’t stand hearing the cries Of innocence as it slowly dies Truth is covered by thick layers of lies You cannot believe your eyes They say that one day we’ll be free But that day seems like eternity How long do we have to wait For me it’s already too late In the street girls sell their body and soul Boys with smart weapons have taken control There’s a church with a bright golden steeple So much wealth wasted so many poor people Those coins that you grip in your hand Will slip through your fingers like sand Those coins that you grip in your hand Justice is blind up here were I am I am still dying to find one good man Who’ll take a stand and tell what is true Turn the other cheek just to make it on through Those coins that you’d so planned to save Will curse you unto your grave Will curse you unto your grave I watch this world from the top of this hill And I wonder if it’s really Gods will To see the prophesies slowly fulfilled How much more blood will be spilt Is there nothing more left but to grieve How can you learn to believe When you eat and drink the bread and wine Do you remember that blood is mine?

Burn Out lyrics You sent me a letter I didn’t understand Delivered by a dyslexic postman Said you’d tried and sentenced me for not loving you Are you my judge and executioner too? I gave you all I had left in the tank You went laughing all the way to the bank Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Even though I slumber with one eye open See my field of vision is slightly broken And though you might think that I am sleeping Can you check if I am still breathing? And if my bleeding heart’s still beating My heart was anything but cheating Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Crashing head first into a stone wall I’m just an ordinary man Trying to get by as best I can A mid-life crisis we might be facing And our own tails we might be chasing The car’s revved up and raring to go Though the head gasket’s starting to blow I still have the postcard that said ‘wish you were here’ Hard to accept that you’ll never be near Sometimes it’s hard to want to keep on keeping on When everyone you’ve ever loved has left and gone When the road that you are on bends and winds They say that we’re all bound to crash sometimes Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Heading for a burn out Heading for a fall Crashing head first into a stone wall Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 457684GQ

Dead Man’s Shoes Lyrics Like a fish outta water When all the lakes have run dry Take this lamb to the slaughter He’ll go with his head held high I just can’t turn the other cheek Is this the justice that you seek? Sharpen your knife I won’t resist I’ll close my eyes and I’ll clench my fists I’ll close my eyes and I’ll clench my fists Lord, I’ll close my eyes and I’ll clench my fists Let me see if your hand is steady Do you really think you’re ready, do you? To step into dead man’s shoes To step into dead man’s shoes You left my head hanging on my neck Like a bird balancing on a wire You made me a nervous wreck As the sky roars and spits fire So what is there that remains As I survey the past and wonder? I know nothing can stay the same Through all the rain and thunder It’s all gone down the drain, dear lover Can you really think of another, can you? Who’d step into Tell me, who’d step into Dead man’s shoes, dead man’s shoes Who’d step into dead man’s shoes Dead man’s shoes, dead man’s shoes Like a three-legged man running in a race A blind man on a paper chase You think you’ve got what it takes But to see where you’re going You gotta be awake, you gotta be awake When I’ve gone and am away All I left you are the blues And you feel you’ve been betrayed You search through the box for clues You just can’t do what I’ve done You haven’t been where I’ve been Walked in the dark and the sun You wonder at what I’ve seen Let me see if your hand is steady Do you really think you’re ready, do you? To step into, to step into Dead man’s shoes Dead man’s shoes Dead man’s shoes Dead man’s shoes To step into dead man’s shoes To step into dead man’s shoes To step into dead man’s shoes Lord no, dead man’s shoes Are you ready to step into dead man’s shoes When I’ve gone and I’m away All I left you are the blues And you feel you’ve been betrayed You search through the box for clues You just can’t do what I’ve done You haven’t been where I’ve been Walked in the dark and the sun You wonder at what I’ve seen Let me see if your hand is steady Do you really think you’re ready, do you?

I Ain’t Dead Yet lyrics I ain’t been feeling good with this cold in my head Getting bored of eating soup and lying in bed Although my body aches and I shake and sweat I’m still here with you, my I ain’t dead yet! I seen people drop like flies Some were family, some friends of mine Who’s gonna be next, they’re taking bets One thing I can tell you, is I ain’t dead yet! Though they wanted to kill me in the womb My dad was too young to be her groom She protected me from all their threats Those bastards, I still ain’t dead yet! I outlived Elvis and M.J. too And the dead stars on Rue Morgue Avenue They played a game of one-sided-roulette I’m still a safe bet, I ain’t dead yet! I ain’t dead yet! No, no, no, no, no I ain’t dead yet! I do things you say ain’t healthy You say ‘one day they’ll be the death of me’ As I drink and puff away on a cigarette But honey, I still ain’t dead yet! I still got time to right the wrongs I done Some of them at the time really were fun I got time to reverse all of those regrets I got time, I ain’t dead yet I ain’t dead yet! No, I ain’t dead yet! I ain’t dead yet! I ain’t dead yet! The ex-wife and her kids are waiting in line Like vultures circling around at feeding time Nothing they can say will make me upset They can stay hungry coz I ain’t dead yet! I know one day my time will come I’ll see no more rising and setting sun I’ve lived a full life I got few regrets And for now I won’t let you forget That you stuck with me, coz I ain’t dead yet! Oh you’re stuck with me, and I ain’t dead yet! No, I ain’t dead yet! Now you’re stuck with me, and I ain’t dead yet! For now I won’t let you forget You’re stuck with me, and I ain’t dead yet!

Black Hole lyrics In this world of inequality I was born into poverty And I will die just the same Will anyone recite my name? Will anyone recite my name? Mama it ain’t no lie That we’re all born to die How long we’re here, who can say? Say use your time like it’s your last day Use your time like it’s your last day, alright I’m going to that black hole That place of burning souls I’m going to the black hole To the black hole in the sky It’s where we all go when we die It’s where we all go when we die Money it came and money it went Can’t recall on what it was spent It never meant that much to me I never had that greed disease No, never had that greed disease People they chase it till the end What’s worth more is family and friends They’re worth more than diamonds and gold Can’t buy back your soul once it’s sold No, can’t buy back your soul once it’s sold We’re going to that black hole That place of burning souls We’re going to that black hole To the black hole in the sky It’s where we all go when we die It’s where we all go when we die The black hole consumes worlds and stars Soon it’ll be the time of the Earth and Mars We won’t be here when that time comes When the fire goes out in the sun When the fire goes out in the sun I’m sorry for the wrong that I’ve done But remember the good when I’m gone No one lives a life without sin That’s life and I took it, took it on the chin Took it on the chin I’ll miss everyone that I knew I hope they’ll miss me too That’s how it goes, you’re here then you’re gone And for everyone else life goes on Life goes on All going to that big black hole The place of burning souls All going to that big black hole To the big black hole in the sky It’s where we all go when we die The time has come so Looks like I’m ready to go Turn off the light Goodbye, goodnight Goodbye, goodnight Goodbye, goodnight Goodbye, goodnight Goodbye, goodnight Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 494849CN
