Been down so long I can't remember my name And each and every day they feel the same I’ve never been so weary and burdened before Tomorrow I’ll be coming back for more The fat old foreman keeping me on a leash It's such a shame that money don’t grow on trees The sun’s not even out I’m breaking my back I know my train is running off the tracks Seems like I’ve been here for a thousand days And if I break down right now there’ll be hell t’ pay It’s hot and sticky on this dusty road Don’t know if I can manage this heavy load I’m losing faith I know the end is nigh And if I stumble will you hold me tight Seems like I’ve been here for a thousand days And if I break down right now there’ll be hell t’ pay

My dear old friend A rotten soul that’s always been as dark as mine As bent and twisted as mine My lifelong friend Who keeps my secrets from the world Don’t let me walk in there alone Cos they’ll never let me go They’ll never release my tortured soul I know a place of perdition with A hundred evil silhouettes against the walls I know a place of premonition where Chromed bars and neon lights can Melt a man’s very soul My dear old friend Whose fate is linked to mine until the end of time Our hearts don’t know no peace of mind Our flesh is made of black mud and slime Our body has no bone, no spine I know a place of perdition with A hundred evil silhouettes against the walls I know a place of premonition where Chromed bars and neon lights can Melt a man’s very soul My good old friend A partner in crime every time I fight my curse by day Can’t you help me go straight? Don’t let the demons possess me Cos’ they’ll never let me get away I know a place of perdition with A hundred evil silhouettes against the walls I know a place of premonition where Chromed bars and neon lights can Melt a man’s very soul

It’s only Monday Wish it was Tuesday It feels my time will never come It’s only Monday Wish it was Tuesday I’ll be happy when he’s gone It’s only Monday How I wish it was Tuesday It feels my time will never come I ain’t got no money But I got what you want You need something he gives you not You use me then you leave me out And every evening When the sun goes down I put my boots on And I walk out to roam the streets of town I see you walk down the street And there’s no one there I stalk and follow you but You don’t even care I just need to wait for one more day A few more hours A world of pain You’ll Let me in when he’s away It’s only Monday Wish it was Tuesday It feels my time will never come

Vagabond 03:07
I am the eternal vagabond And I roam from town to town Yes, I’m the eternal vagabond Oh, and I drift from town to town… You know I hide my past behind me And I bury it in the ground My soul was made of water But my heart was made of steel Oh, yes, my soul was made of water But my heart was made of steel But I’ve got some good ol’ lovin’ for ya It’s the only way I feel Will I ever find my place and settle down Or am I to roam the earth and look around? I’d hate to see you walk in someone else’s arm But I swear I never meant you no harm I said my soul was made of water But my heart was made of steel I said my soul was made of water But my heart was made of steel And I’ve got some good ol’ lovin’ for ya It’s the only way I feel Only way I feel Only way I feel...

Witch Doctor 04:47
The old man went to see his witch doctor And asked him please…. Please tell me what’s going on ‘Cos my chest is a-heaving And the sparkle in my eye is gone I feel an itch that won’t be soothed It’s a thirst I cannot quench I feel a pain that won’t be eased Cannot get up from my wooden bench The old man went to see his witch doctor And asked him please…. Please tell me what’s going on Feels like some juju hit me hard Right on my head, right on my head with an atom bomb He swore he’d be doing anything it takes Looking for some kind of voodoo remedy I feel an agony deep in my gut That won’t let me live my life in peace.

Swamp Thing 04:51
It breathes, it eats and when it’s pitch black It dreams It has a soul It has a face It disappears without a trace The fog's thick The sky’s aflame Does he feel lost without a name? Is it the hunger? The need for a home? Or is it winter gnawing at his bones? The swamp is my world It is who I am The swamp is my world It is what I am You feel a presence But never get to see me Hiding under the surface, water steaming Hundreds of shadows Vanish in the night Worse horrors heralded by the light The swamp is my world It is who I am The swamp is my world It is what I am I was a man I know what they do Don’t bring your evil here, I warn you Anger I feel Nothing forgiven Down highways in the dark, by demons driven The swamp is my world It is who I am The swamp is my world It is what I am Beware of the wrath of... The Swamp Thing!

Little Bit of Rain - Fred Neil If I should leave you Try to remember the good times Warm days filled with sunshine And just a little bit of rain And if you look back Try to forget all the... Try to forget all the bad times Lonely blue and sad times And just a little bit of rain Oh, just a little bit of rain Oh, yes, just a little bit of rain Not a single cloud in the sky Just a tiny bit of rain once in a while If I should leave you Try to remember the good times Only warm days filled with sunshine And just a little bit of rain Oh in the morning Just a little bit of rain Cloudless in the evening Just a little bit of rain Just a little... Just a little, just a little bit Just a little... Just a little bit of rain...

Right On 04:01
Never judge lovers By good looking covers Plain and simple fool’s gold You just wanna tease me Won’t come down to please me The way you used to do before Gonna make my move I said I’m gonna take my chances Take off and move right on Always taking orders Always taking warnings The Man got you under his thumb Oh, boy come and do this Boy go and do that Oh, man I sure have had enough Gonna make my move I said I’m gonna take my chances Take off and move right on The preacher man tells me And your father reminds me What I should and should not do Promises to heal me so I won’t shed no tears On nobody’s shoulder no more. Gonna make my move I said I’m gonna take my chances Move right on

Early in the mornin’ it was drizzling rain ‘round the curve came a passenger train Under the wheel was KC Jones A mighty man found dead and gone Some folks say mister KC wouldn’t run Let me tell you what KC had done Left out of Memphis, quarter-to-nine New York City dinner time On the road again Looking for a brand new start In some other city On the road again Looking for a brand new start On the road again I’m leavin’ Memphis, spread the news ‘Cos Memphis women don’t wear no shoes My name is written on the back of my shirt No home to go to, no need to work KC told the man just before he died There’s one more road he’d like to ride The farmer asked KC, “Which road is he?” Southern Pacific and Santa Fe On the road again Looking for a brand new start In some other city On the road again Looking for a brand new start On the road again

When the North wind blows You better lock up your door Don’t risk to lose All that you’ve been collectin’ When the blizzard’s on Stay where you belong Then you may win back The friends you’ve been neglecting Oh, the North wind blows Yes, the North wind blows When the north wind blows You better lock up your door They may find out The lies you’ve been perfectin’ When the snow flakes fall You oughta keep off the road You don’t want to hate The folks you’ve been respecting Oh, the North wind blows Yes, the North wind blows The towtruck man never answered my call I think I’ve been walking in circles in the snow There’s not a single soul in sight My bones are freezing in the cold cold night Oh, no, but I don’t, I don’t feel no pain When I sense sweet death coming my way And I can feel it Oh I can feel it coming now Oooooh North wind blows Oooooh North wind blows
