Lorraine Lyrics
In the early morning, Lorraine,
I call your name
But you don’t remain
Just your sweet refrain
Taps my window pane
I’m falling like you Lorraine
Oh Lorraine
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
Driverless train
Swirling ’round by brain
Driving me insane
I can’t be the same
I’m falling like you Lorraine
Oh Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
Lorraine’s driving fast
Her anger won’t last
It’s all so clear
I love when she’s near
I was dying of thirst
She gave till I burst
She’s here in disguise
To give you a surprise
You saved me Lorraine
You saved me again Lorraine
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
Dissolve my chains
Penetrate my pain
Baby cleanse my veins
Wash away the stains
I’m falling like you Lorraine
Oh Lorraine
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
You called I came
You put out the flames
Of this losing game
That would have me slain
I’m falling like you Lorraine
Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
When I needed you
You were there
When my body ached
You cared
You soothed me
And eased the pain
Can’t live without you Lorraine
You’re my saviour my saint
My heartbeat was so faint
You revived me and saved me
Gave me breath and set me free
You saved me Lorraine
You saved me again Lorraine

The River Is Flowing Through Veins
The river is flowing through my veins
My toes are walking but are numb
My hunger’s driving me insane
My pockets are full of crumbs
I struggle about to keep still
As the wind it hurls around
Skeleton’s hanging on the hill
Keeping watch over the town
For why did I come to this place
People they come here to die
Come drive the shadows from my face
And the echoes ringing in my eyes
I’m with you but I’m alone
You were never here to be missed
You know I never like to moan
But you looked away when we kissed
So far away when I was young
The air was crisp it was clean
All tasted fresh on my tongue
And I was left all alone to dream
Come stranger tell me if you can
Can it be that I’ve lost the way
Can you please take hold of my hand
So I won’t once again stray
As on the stone floor I sat
Next to the old wishing well
You threw a coin in my empty hat
It was me but you couldn’t tell
When they opened up the gate
Threw me out into the world
I didn’t know what would be my fate
Just like every other boy and girl
My back it aches and it creaks
My words are slurred and indistinct
My breath is shallow and is weak
How much further must I sink
The road it twisted and it turned
The lovers they came and they went
My heart broken how it burned
The smoke of memories heaven sent
My back is bent against the wind
My crooked fingers are so cold
Why me I tried never to sin
I just needed someone to hold
I always tried to be me
I wish there was some other way
I just wish that you could see
And hear the things I needed to say

Once Upon A Time
05:45
|

Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time
I was with you
Once upon a time
Everything seemed new
You held my hand
I held yours too
We fell in love
Like Angels above
There was music in the air
Flowers in bloom
Making sweet love with you
By the light of the moon
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the rains fell down
The skies turned grey
You went away
You wouldn’t stay
Once upon a time
I was with you
Once upon a time
Everything seemed new
Now I sit alone
My heart’s turned to stone
Inside my room
This house is not a home
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Seems so long ago
Once upon a time
We loved each other so
Once upon a time
I was with you
Once upon a time
Everything seemed new
There was music in the air
Flowers in bloom
Making sweet love with you
By the light of the moon
But the rains fell down
The skies turned grey
You went away
You wouldn’t stay
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I was with you
Once upon a time
Everything seemed new
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time

Moon Dog Blues

Moon Dog Blues
You never treat me right
Even though I treat you kind
You never do treat me right
I tried my best to be kind
All you seem to wanna do – is tangle up my mind!
You call me a ‘moon-dog’
When it’s you that’s done me wrong
You call me ‘an old moon-dog’
When you gone and done me wrong
Coz you leave me howling at – the moon each time you’re gone!
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl x 4
Howling at the moon
These moon dog blues
You never walk the dog
You say it’s my job to do
You don’t like to walk the dog
You say that’s for me to do
You know that sometimes I need – a little help from you!
This dog he needs some love
For it’s what we all need right
Give this dog some of your love
I know you can make it right
Please don’t be rough with him – don’t pull his chain too tight!
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Come over here mama
Come take this dog for a walk
You come here pretty mama
Take this dog for a good walk
They’ll be no howling – no I won’t even talk!
You never take me to eat
At places where there’s a crowd
No we never go and eat
And sit where there is a crowd
When I complain you just say
“Sign says ‘No Dogs Allowed’!!
You say when we make love
That I only know one way
You say when we’re making love
That I know no other way
I don’t wanna face it no – you’re lucky you I don’t make you pay
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
I’m howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl

Instant Love
05:34
|

Instant Love
I went with you coz you were there
It didn’t matter we didn’t care
I didn’t think I’d see you again
Don’t remember even your name
Then I saw you stare from across the room
It got hard to breathe was like in a tomb
I couldn’t be sure, sure that it was you
For your hair had changed you’d put on some weight too
But when you smiled then I was sure
I had to get out and run for the door
Then it was just a moment in time
And what we did wasn’t a crime
Was just a time of need
With a hunger to feed
Was just instant love
Instant love, instant love, instant love
Was just a time of need
With a hunger to feed
Was just instant love
Instant love, instant love
Was just instant love
Instant love, instant love
But when we’d finished with the fun and laughter
Then what about all the guilt after?
What about all the guilt after?
I liked you then you liked me too
It was understood that what we do
Would all be done and then be erased
That was the time of crazy days
Now and then we need anyone to hold
Don’t matter if we are young or we’re old
Maybe it was wrong and maybe was not
For how it felt then I already forgot
So stay away don’t come too near
I’m kind of well gone from too many beers
Sometimes I’m weak and sometimes I’m strong
Sometimes I need love all night long
It’s just a time of need
We’ve got hunger to feed
It’s just instant love
Instant love, instant love
It’s just a time of need
We’ve got hunger to feed
It’s just instant love
Instant love, Was just instant love
Instant love, instant love
And we’ll both enjoy all the fun and laughter
And not worry about the guilt till after
Not worry about the guilt till after
Not worry about the guilt till after
The guilt till after
The guilt till after
The guilt till after
The guilt till after
The guilt till after
The guilt till after
The guilt till after

Telephone Love Blues
Today has been
The longest day of my life
Today has been
The longest day of my life
Never seen so much, no, no
I’ve Never seen so much
So much Trouble and so much strife
The sky is grey
Wind’s howling in through the trees
The sky is grey
Wind’s howling in through the trees
Falling rain so hard
Falling rain so hard
Water’s up to my knees
Telephone Love
Telephone Love
The road’s so long
It’s been such a long hard ride
The road’s so long
It’s been such a long hard ride
Couldn’t have done it, no, no. no
Couldn’t have done it
Without you by my side
Telephone Love
Telephone Love
Books are burning
The T.V.’s taken control
Books are burning
The T.V.’s taken control
People so empty, oh no
People so empty
Inside all sold their souls
Telephone Love
Telephone Love
I’m going out
Just can’t stay in any more
I’m going out
Just can’t stay in any more
Guess I’d better wash
Guess I’d better wash
Looks like I been in a war
Say you won’t go
And never leave me alone
Say you won’t go
And never leave me alone
Remember when we made love
Remember when we made love darling
That time on the telephone
That time on the telephone

Serious ‘B’ Blues
Woke up one morning with a pain in my side
I knew it was a warning there’s no place left to hide
Oh I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious Blues
And there’s nothing I can do
Just had to look good like they told me to
Did all that I could to try and please you
Oh I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
Oh I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
The Serious Blues
And there’s nothing I can do
I threw out the trash and cleaned the floor
Washed out the house and then I looked for more
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
The Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
And there’s nothing I can do
It was life or death and I had to choose
Can’t find no rest wash away these blues
Oh I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
Oh I got the Serious Blues
And there’s nothing I can do
I threw out the trash and cleaned the floor
Washed out the house and then I looked for more
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
And there’s nothing I can do
And there’s nothing I can do
And there’s nothing I can do
And there’s nothing I can do
Now I think I’m cured and I can say to you
Love will endure you can make it through
Yeah I had the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
The Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I got the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I had the Serious ‘B’ Blues
Lord I had the Serious ‘B’ Blues

You’d better believe it
I had the Serious ‘B’ Blues
I had the Serious ‘B’ Blues
And there was something I could do

The River Is Wide

The River is Wide
The river’s so wide
Carry me across
Carry me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide
Carry me across
Carry me across
To the other side
The river’s is wide
I cross the Jordan to be where you are
Your love is greater than the brightest star
I’ll be with you till the end of the earth
Only you know what my love for you is worth
The river’s is wide, The river’s is wide, The river’s is wide
The river’s so wide
Carry me across
Carry me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide
Carry me across
Carry me across
To the other side
I am found where once I was lost
It took you so long to carry me across
You carried me safe in your arms
You protected me from hurt and harm
I can’t believe that I survived
I can’t believe that I’m here alive
You helped me to make it through
I wouldn’t have made it without you
The river’s is wide, The river’s is wide,
The river’s is wide, The river’s is wide
The river’s so wide
You carried me across
You carried me across
To the other side
I’ll always be by your side
My love for you I cannot hide
You saved me from my certain fate
I’ll face the world and all its hate
Though I face scorn every day of the week
You taught me how to turn the other cheek
They can’t understand what it is I feel
That my love for you is eternally real
The river’s so wide
You carried me across
You carried me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide, The river’s so wide
The river’s so wide
You carried me across
You carried me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide

Stepping Up The Action

Stepping Up The Action
They’re stepping up the action
I’m getting ready to go
They’re stepping up the action
This place is gonna blow
Come here mama and take my hand
We gotta get out to some other land
Let’s break those gates and swim ashore
We’ll reach that land and won’t want more
They’re stepping up the action
I’m getting ready to go
They’re stepping up the action
This place is gonna blow
The sun’s rising there that’s for sure
We’ll forget all of these cruel bloody wars
We’ll make it through that day will come
We’ll join our hands and dance as one
They’re stepping up the action
I’m getting ready to go
They’re stepping up the action
This place is gonna blow
Sealed the borders no where to run
There’s thunder in the sky like roaring guns
Hide in the loft don’t make a sound
If we stay still we won’t be found
They’re stepping up the action
I’m getting ready to go
They’re stepping up the action
This place is gonna blow
The train’s crowded and it’s hell bound
There’s broken glass and books on burning ground
And if I don’t see you again
Think of me when you feel the rain
They’re stepping up the action
I’m getting ready to go
They’re stepping up the action
This place is gonna blow

I Believe

I Believe
I believe in a better tomorrow
That’s not far from today
I believe that pain and sorrow
Will disappear and go away
I believe, I believe
Don’t hurt others with words or deeds
Don’t turn your back on those in need
Teach your children to love and respect
Show them the way that’s true and correct
I believe that we will see a new day
And we’ll find a new way
I believe in pure love that’s true
I believe you will one day too
I believe, I believe
Learn from mistakes and grow within
Reach for the stars let life begin
Peace and love inside you are the keys
To open your heart and set you free
I believe, I believe
I believe in a better tomorrow
That’s not far from today
I believe that pain and sorrow
Will disappear and go away
I believe, I believe
I believe in you
I hope that you will believe in me too

Goodbye
02:08
|

Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I’m sad you don’t wanna be with me anymore
But I understand
You have to go your own way to another shore
And leave me behind
The times we had together were something unique
But they can’t return
Maybe we won’t meet again maybe we won’t speak
But I’ll remember
I’ll never forget you
And what might have been
So it’s with a deep sigh
I say to you goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
No, there’s no need to reply
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
