This hotel bar is full of people,
The piano man is really laying it down,
The old bartender is as high as a steeple,
So why tonight should I wear a frown?
The joint is jumpin' all around me,
And my mood is really not in style,
Right now the blues flock to surround me,
But I'll break out after a while.

Admit it baby, you've gone and broke your word
Now ain't it crazy, I believed every word I've heard
Imagine baby, we were just like one
But that's it baby, I believe you've had your fun

I'm mad when I'm mad and I'm mad with you right now
I'm mad when I'm mad and I'm mad with you right now Yeah, someone told me time and time again
To watch you closely, but I didn't heed a word they said

As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to

As the crow flies, baby

Takes a fool to know how I feel,
Feel like a fish running out a spinning reel,
Bite on a hook and you'll know just what I mean,
That`s what it`s like at the bottom,
That`s what it`s like at the bottom.

It took time to come and make you see,
Life ain`t what it appears to be,

Well, I'm hanging around the depot, boys,
Trying to get a job,
I'm so sick and tired of being laid off,
No silver lining, no rainbow's end,

Bills in my mailbox, that's all they ever send,
All they ever send.
Well, I'm hanging around the corner, boys,

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell

Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold
Well, it can't ever be like it was then

If you got money in the bank,
Don't let your woman draw it out,
Cause she'll take all your money...and,
Then she'll kick you out.

I once had money and a fast Cadillac car,
But I made one big mistake, let my baby know where they are,
And she took all my possessions...and,

If you got money in the bank,
Don't let your woman draw it out,
Cause she'll take all your money...and,
Then she'll kick you out.
I once had money and a fast Cadillac car,
But I made one big mistake, let my baby know where they are,
And she took all my possessions...and,
Then she threw me out.

Well, you think you're sitting pretty
But you're sitting on a powder keg.
Well, you think you're standing steady
But you're weak as a matchstick leg.
Well, there's a rumble in the city,
There's a call out for your head.
Now isn't it a pity
Your future's just a lump of lead.

When you go down to Deep Elm, keep your money in your socks
By them day Elm women, roll on you on the rocks
Oh sweet mama, got the morning baby blues

If you go down in Deep Elm, yeah, keep your money in the hair
And that Deep Elm women will lay you on the fire
Oh sweet mama, got the morning baby blues

All right...
I'm feeling bought and sold,
You're just a three card trickster.
That's something I should've known,
All the good's sure gone bitter.

Hear me now, hear me right.

There's a body in the bay
The cops are taking it away
They said this case was closed
It only shows you that never know

So who they gonna get
When the troubles got to stop
Here's my card

If I was a cradle, then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony, then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom, you'd split me into three
When I wanna see you baby, don't you lock on me

If I was a baby, you wouldn't let me fall
If I was an outlaw, you wouldn't have me caught
If I was a tiger, you wouldn't have me caged

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave,
If that's where you want to be,
But does the look on your face,
Mean you're really feeling happy?
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
Or a poor man much to proud to beg,
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.

You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,

Do you read me, well won't you tell me?
If you read me, then please believe me, when I say,
Yes I've been waiting, seems like forever.

I've been waiting, my situation ain't got much better,
Well I've been waiting, the situation don't get much better.

You don't do unto others as you do unto me,

I'm easy come and easy go,
Now you're not so carefree.
You found the thorn behind the rose,
You took it, oh, so badly.

Lost inside yourself,
You've gotta break out soon.
You've gotta try again,

Went down to the station,
Leaned against the door.
Went down to the station,
I...leaned against the door.
I knew it was the Empire State,
Can tell by the way she blows.

Asked the depot agent,

I want to plant a star on the sky
One you can find at the end of the night
I wanna climb a ladder to space
and leave without trace
cause now is the time
Things are gonna be so clear
Well I'm light years from here
in some other space

You've done me wrong
For the last time
You've sung your song
Now I'm goin' to sing mine

Out loud, so loud
Like the roaring sea

Had me a whiskey, and I chased it,
Got me some trouble, gonna face it,
But if I had a trump card, I would place it,
That's for sure....yeah....

I had a dream, but I can't trace it,
I call out your name, so you might hear it,
But it only adds fuel, to the fire,

Came home this morning,
Looking half-way like a ghost.
Walked in this morning,
Feeling half-way like a ghost.

Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.
Face looked like marble,

Anyone can tell you, lies like one and one is two,
And then call 'round and tell that I'm not right for you.
Hands off,…. You're gonna hear me saying,
Hands off,…. Things sure need some changing,
Hands off,…. We'd all be much better of then.

Anyone can tell you, lies like one and two is three,
And then call 'round and tell that you were'nt made for me.

Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playing
You won't feel the same I'm betting now
Get up you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasing
Think of all the time you're wasting now

Well, if your baby start acting funny,
She start messin' around.
You better let her go,
I know she's gonna, put you down.

Just let her go.
Just as quick as you can.
Cause that little hoodoo woman,

I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I've been
'Cause I haven't seen my baby
Since I don't know when

Feeling disconnected
These blues are out to kill
Sweep them in the corner

Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine that you call my heart
Oh but baby is it so hard to tell the two apart
and so slowly you unwind me until I fall apart

I'm only living for the hour that I see your face
And when that happens I don't wanna be no other place
'Til the end of time you'll be on my mind

I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time.
For today's the day that you are coming back.
And I can't wait to see you materialize.

How much can I take now before I break inside?
How long will it take now before I realize,
That I can't live without you by my side,

If I had a reason I'd tell you what it is
Must I explain how I feel
I've tried and I've tried to make it so clear
But my time is just wasted I fear
Well it's only an old song but it serves it's purpose so well
By the cry in your voice I can tell
When you sing there's a feeling behind the words
That brings it all back again

My baby's got a secret agent
To watch me like a hawk,
Well, my baby's got a secret agent
To watch me like a hawk

He know each time I leave my house,
He know each time I move around
Secret agent, won't you please take my advice?

Just the smile that is spreading all over her face,
Could warm up the room and set fire to the place.
Yes it could, you know it could.

Now the fog is clinging all over the town,
Put one foot in front then you just might fall down.
On the ground, she's in town.

They say this town will kill you
They say this town ain't got no soul
This town could take a child's smile
And turn it into stone

But don't you think I know that?
This place has cut me to the bone
Trouble crawling up your back

LAUNDROMAT [Written By Rory Gallagher]

What do you think of that
I’m sleeping down at the laundromat
If you should pass, be sure to drop right in

Well I don’t have no clothes to clean
To put inside the machine

Open up and let me in,
Can't you see about the shape I'm in.
I need your loving, it must be soon,
I know you really can be so cruel..oww..

I could be wrong and I could be right,
You're gonna keep me waiting all the night.
I'm breaking up now. Can't you tell?

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,
For a month or more.
Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,
That cannot feel it's throat.
Well, I'm closing all the windows,
Keeping out the rain.
But, I'm not complaining,
In fact I'd do it all again.

Well its a winding highway, that never seems to end,
Well we all must travel, We'll not pass this way again,
Are you going my way, well won't you lend a hand,
Well it sounds like thunder, but it could be a hurricane,
Looks like Chain Lightnin', but its just my blues again,
Sure don't look inviting, when you see those clouds of rain,
Yea, Yea

What's this I hear going all around town?
The people are sayin' you gonna put the kid down
Lordy, what your doing?
You call it what you want,
I call it messin' with the kid.

You told me you loved me
You told me a lie,

Well, a hurricane is on its way across the Bible Belt
Just watch the sway of the sugar cane
Move from right to left

It could be gone when the morning comes
Should be heading west
Hang around, go in the storm
It's anybody's guess

You are a moonchild and
Pretty soon child I've
Got that feeling that
I'm gonna make you smile forever
If I can.

Just give me a sign and I'll show you my plan.

Well you know yourself little girl,
You ain't treating your daddy right.
Leave home in the morning,
Ain't back till late at night.

That's nothin' but the devil,
Make you treat me the way you do.
I'm gonna break out like the measles,

Well you took me out of my mind baby
You took me out of my head
My friends have gone to look for me
I ain't been seen yet

No I ain't disappeared
I'm only over here
Well you found me out of my skull baby

Pack my things in overnight bag
A toothbrush, a guitar, got no tail to drag
I'm gonna leave on the next passing breeze
My heart is heavy, there's a sky full of rain
Mind full of notions that I just can't explain
Reasons why just can't be supplied

Trapped by a heartache and freed by my will

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul,
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city,
I can't come in from the cold,
I'm deep in action on a secret mission,
Contact's broken down,
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion,
There's a voice on the telephone

Well I know my dog
Anywhere I hear him bark
Well I know my rider
If I feel her in the dark

Ain't it cold for you, mother
When you say you don't love me?
Well that's alright woman

Well, she's nothing much
But she looks like a gangster's moll
Well, there ain't no doubt about it
I know she ran with 'Mad Dog' Coll

She's the driver of the getaway car
Public enemy No.1
She's fact and she's fiction

Well that sounds like the night train,
Blowin' its stack,
Spreading its wings,
All over the track,
Arrived here this morning,
Won't be here for long,
As fast as a shooting star,
That's' what them eight wheels are for.

He was the seventh son of a seventh son,
People claimed that he could cure anyone.
He had the power there is no doubt,
From his healing hands the light shone all about.
No magic potion or mystic words,
His eyes stared at you, no sound was heard.
People came from north and south,
To see this faith healing man, see what he was all about.

In the flinty light, it's midnight,
And stars collide.
Shadows run, in full flight,
To run, seek and hide.
I'm still not sure what part I play,
In this shadow play, this shadow play.

Well, In the half-light, on this mad night,

Well, it's a shin-kick morning
Gotta kickstart the day
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way.

Well, a burning fever
Woke me up at dawn
I didn't have no choice, I had to carry on.

Should've learnt my lesson
Long long time ago
Should've learnt my lesson
Long long time ago
Bored like a mule
I've always learnt my lesson slow

Should have listened

What's going on,
Can you correct my vision?
Helping my decision.
What's going on,
If you know what I'm meaning,
You won't find me kneeling.

Should I be standing on a chair?

You're like a Slumming Angel
Lost on the wrong side of town
Just want to see the pictures
Tell your man, "Turn down the sound"

You're acting wise but aren't you afraid
'Round here you might get blown away

Take your foot off the brakes,
But you won't stop my souped-up Ford.
Well, you can set your watch 'cause I won't stop,
I've got my foot to the floor.
This greedy jeep don`t need no sleep,
Eats all the gas that you can pour.
It`s a front-wheel drive and it sound like a bee-hive,
Good Lord, that`s for sure.

I've been bitten,
Lord, I've been stung.
Well I was cornered,
And I was almost hung.

Well, I sure made a getaway,
And I'm, almost back on my stompin' ground.

Tattoo'd lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.

When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.

Oh the cuckoo she's a pretty bird,
And she warbles as she flies.
And she never holler cuckoo,
'Til the 4th day of July.

Jack of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds,
Well I've known you of old.
Well you've robbed my poor pockets,

You are a moonchild and pretty soon child
I've got that feeling
That I'm gonna make you smile forever
If I can.
Just give me a sign and I'll show you my plan

You are a blue child, forever true child
You know I'll try to paint the skies blue forever

Is there a car straight under a light that's burning?
Prepared by your soul for all the secrets you're holding
Step back in time machine for a mind that's frozen
This is a mind that will challenge the full moon
Capture on acid a man whose mind is exploding

This is a life from the edge of the map that's turning
There on a map they check on the eye of the beholding

There's a light that shines on me
ever since you came to me
It won't go,it won't go away
Now i know that you're gonna stay
Now that i know
your love means so much more to me now

Come here now baby

wanna tell you a story
Every man oughta know
If you want a little lovin
You gotta start real slow
She's gonna love you tonight now
If you just treat her right now

Squeeze her real gentle

I'm walkin' wounded, got my heart in a sling
I've been injected till I don't feel a thing
You got me hurtin' where it gets me the most
If I had some sense I'd move back to the Southern Coast, yeah

I'm truly wounded like a fox in a snare
I feel inspected 'cause I'm caught in your glare
You've done your damage, are you sure that you're through?

Well I don't know anymore
I don't know why I feel so sore
I only know I love you more
I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye
The people say you fade away
From my mind you wouldn't stay
But you get stronger there everyday
You know I feel so alone I think I'll wave myself goodbye

Well you always were a problem
Always running wild
Trouble is your middle name
You know you're the wayward child
You always get your feet wet
You always play with knives
Watch that you don't cut yourself
You know you're the wayward child

When my baby she left me,
Left me with a mule to ride,
When my baby she left me,
Left me with a mule to ride,
When that train left the station,
That old mule laid down and died.

Just give my baby,

A whole lot of people talking, trying to make sense
Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence
Whole lotta people too proud to call
'Cause it won't get no help at all

Everybody's waiting for the good news day
But it seems so far away
Wonder if it's ever gonna come
