Alpha Centauri Chapman (Instrumental) |
Lettin’ Go Chapman/Way/Mogg I'm lettin' go now Don 't think I can last I'm lettin' ' go now I've been living too fast I'm not up in the morning And beat the clock at night It's got so damn predictable Feel I'm doing time Oh no I can't stand another day I see those closing Caught in the ricochet Oh no my life's in miniature I'll be here forever How much more can a poor boy take When all he needs is an even break I'm lettin' go now Work is driving me crazy Lettin' go now Take a lot save me Started when I was sixteen It's been just like a drug I'm working every day You'd think I was in love |
Mystery Train Parker/Phillips Train arrive sixteen coaches long Train arrive sixteen coaches long Well that long black train Drop my baby and gone Train train coming right round the bend Train train coming right round the bend Well it took my baby But it never will again Train train coming on down the line Train train rolling on down the line Well it's bringing my baby 'Cause she's mine oh mine Mine oh mine, mine oh mine Train train coming right round the bend Train train coming right round the bend Well it took my baby But it never will again Never again no, no, no never again |
This Fire Burns Tonight Chapman/Mogg White lines on the highway Rolling out into the night Got no bag to slow us down We're traveling light, traveling light tonight Feel the wheels roll away How many miles have I been gone Listen girl you never knew The road goes on all night long This fire burns tonight The streets are alight Out on this town we are bursting This fire burns tonight The streets are alight (And) Out on this town we are bursting Now me and my partners are moving We run on from town to town And this here road surface Is setting them up rolling them down There's girls out in the neon Singing blues every night And you that they'll never love you They're traveling light, traveling light |
Gone In The Night Chapman/Mogg Honey kick your shoes off now And stay another night Let's not talk too seriously We don't wanna fight Now I don't care about your reputation Or how you got it made All I want is for you to stay Don't want a charade And the lights go down Who you with tonight It ain't so easy holding on Everything you seem to do babe Just turns out so wrong You're gone in the night You're gone in the night You 're gone in the night People try to tell you now About responsibilities Those married-me do's and don'ts How it ought to be But I don't care what they say Don't wanna hear what's true As long as you want me baby You know I need you |
Young Blood Way/Mogg Young blood where you going now> Young blood where you going now I didn't mind it when you left me honey But I miss you ain't the truth I haven't give up hanging on the phone But all I hear is the proof One more night and I'm thinking what's going wrong You say you love me but Does love take this long You paint a picture you tell a story Oh the tangled web that you weave I hear the whispers the candid talking And I don't know> what to believe Where do all these dreams have broken Right or left it's stolen stop your running away Young blood ooh tell me Where you going now Young blood ooh tell me Where you going now It's never never nothing's forever Turning gold in our hands There's no magic it all seems tragic 'Cause it's slipped through our fingers like sand Run run running away |
No Place To Run Chapman/Mogg Joey rides the subway Fast from east to west On the street he's number one Some say that he's the best Got something going on In a honky tonk down town He is expected Word has got around The other-side of midnight Or in the combat zone Meeting no resistance Joe stands alone Night riders prowling Out into the night There's someone else out there And they're looking for a fight Between the rain soaked buildings A distant whistle blows Fate lies in waiting It's hand it never shows Heart beating like a drum Out in this wasteland And there's no place baby for us to run. (In) Jungle land (baby) Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Under the railway arches Someone calls his name Streams out the words Come on boy this ain't no game One flash of bright cold steel In a stranger's hand Kids dance away like shadows There's no one to command Joey's got his name Painted on the walls On the side of buses Subways and tenement halls Heart beating like a drum Out in this wasteland And there's no place baby for us to run. (In) Jungle land (baby) Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land Jungle land, jungle land |
Take It Or Leave It Raymond l'm on my way home To see my little angel Trying to put the pieces back together Well it's been so long I'm feeling like a stranger But they tell me a good thing lasts forever Who's to say we can't talk it over 'Cause in time I know That we'll work it out Give it one more chance Before it's too late Baby until the last good-bye Take it or leave it or leave me alone Baby one (more) little sad reply Take it or leave it or leave me alone As time passed by A thousand miles of ocean I put you out of sight And out of mind girl And before too long promises were broken Seemed no matter how we tried |
Money, Money Way/Mogg Well I'm down, face tomorrow I drown in this fool's sorrow I hear the lies, who I choose No alibis, never a trace I'm blue Well I'm not so proud Baby I can see You take my money And you're laughing at me (I ain't no clown) (Money money) And you're no debutante I wanna give How much do you want Money Look what you've done to me Money Hope on a third degree You 're so dumb You got all the protection Number one But you only intend to clown Money Look what you've done to me Money Hope on a third degree You 're so dumb You got all the protection Number one But you only intend to clown You're so cool Playing glamour glamour Full of school But still in emerald Money Look what you've done to me Money Hope on a third degree You 're so dumb You got all the protection Number one But you only intend to clown Well I'm not so proud Baby I can see You take my money And you're laughing at me (I ain't no clown) (Money money) And you're no debutante I wanna give How much do you want Money money you think I can't see Take it all and you're laughing at me (I ain't no clown) (Money money) And you're no debutante I wanna give How much do you want Money Look what you've done to me Money Hope on a third degree You 're so dumb You got all the protection Number one But you only intend to clown Money Look what you've done to me Money Hope on a third degree You 're so dumb You got all the protection Number one But you only intend to clown |
Any Day Chapman/Mogg We seem to be so alone How it feels is nothing new We're only going through the motions Me and you I'll go back home again There's nothing left but empty rooms We're passing through and It can't end for us too soon Any day, any day I've got to get up and go I wanna tear all this down Breakaway, breakaway Everyday seems so damn slow I don't wanna be around Now my baby sits and stares The clock spins the hours away And there's nothing left For you or I to say Should be out having fun How, come we don't anymore But we been through this Too many times before Here comes my coat now Put it on my head Before I get to city prone I ain't no judge I ain't no diplomat I don't need no crystal ball |
