The Shape I'm In
03:08
|
|||
I've got a sunny day
I've got a starry night
I've got a beautiful girl
Makes me feel alright
I'm feeling so good
It might be a sin
I'm in pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in
-
If you want to know my secret
The secret is, I don't have one to tell
It's an attitude of gratitude
With a lot of latitude
And just a pinch of I'll never tell
And I'me feeling so good
It might be a sin
I'me in pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in
-
I've got a fancy car
A tab at the bar
I would like my keys
Hand them to me please
I'm feeling so good
It might be a sin
I'm in pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in
-
If you want to know my secret
The secret is, I don't have one to tell
It's an attitude of gratitude
With a lot of latitude
And just a pinch of I'll never tell
And I'me feeling so good
It might be a sin
I'me in pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in
-
I've got a police man
Holding to my hand
A new place to stay
With three meals a day
And I'me feeling so good
It might be a sin
I'me in pretty good shape
For the shape I'm in

Treasure In The Sand
03:08
|
|||
Down in Cape Fear
The sky is clear
But the atmosphere
Around her was so severe
-
We made the trip
On a pirate ship
Cutlass on my hip
That's when she gave me the slip
-
We we're together on the beach
With the ghost of Edward Teach
But she was still so out of reach
Treasure in the sand...
-
Some local boys
Thought they'd make some noise
Playing with their toys
All they managed was to annoy
-
That pirate crew
Set their sights on you
They liked the view
They took those boys and ran 'em through
-
We we're together on the beach
With the ghost of Edward Teach
But she was still so out of reach
Treasure in the sand.
-
I guess it's time to cut and run
I've had enough of sand and sun
I only came to find some fun
Not treasure in the sand...

Don't Have Much
03:02
|
|||
Don't have much to say
but I usually say it anyway
Don't have much to prove
just keep the record in the groove
Don't have much to give
spend it all trying to live
Don't have much at all
just memories I can't recall
-The sad fact is
-my case is such
-counting one by one
-I just don't have that much!
---
Don't have savoir faire
to tell the truth, I just don't care
Don't shop on Savile Row
that's a place I don't go
Don't dine on fine cuisine
or ride around in limousines
Don't know who you are
a vagrant or a movie star
-The sad fact is
-my case is such
-counting one by one
-I just don't have that much!
---
Don't behave that well
but it gives me stories I can tell
Don't stand very tall
so it's not that far for me to fall
I don't have time to burn
on lessons I've already learned
I don't have what you want
that's why I am so nonchalant
-The sad fact is
-my case is such
-counting one by one
-I just don't have that much!
---
-You think of me
-as out of touch
-but what you think of me
-don't mean all that much!

Once The Tables Turn
02:52
|
|||
We learned the steps of the dance
We left the rest up to chance
O the lessons we learn
Once the tables turn
We saw no reason to wait
Why should love need to hesitate
O the things we discern
Once the tables turn
One thing stood between you and me
That one thing they call reality
That one thing neither one could see
Till the truth set us free
Words we have come to regret
Things we would rather forget
Watching as the bridges all burn
Once the tables have turned
O the wisdom we spurned
Once the tables have turned

I Wouldn't
02:39
|
|||
I'm not the one to be exact
With any figure or any fact
And I truly do disdain
Taking time out to explain
If you think I should
That's how I know I shouldn't
And if I had it to do all over again
I tell you, my friend, I wouldn't
-
I'm not the one to be precise
With any virtue or any vice
I despise democracy
And all the other forms of hypocrisy
If you think I should
That's how I know I shouldn't
And if I had it to do all over again
I tell you, my friend, I wouldn't
-
I'm not the one to volunteer
Over 'there' or over here
I do my best work to avoid
becoming gainfully employed
I know you think I should
That's how I know I should not
And if I had it to do all over again
I tell you, my friend, I simply would not

It Just Comes Naturally
03:06
|
|||
I don't mean to be crude
I don't mean to come across as rude
I don't mean to be crass
So if I have offended you feel free to kiss my foot
I don't mean to be unkind
I don't mean to always speak my mind
I don't mean to be cruel
To be the guy who's always breaking every rule
I don't mean to take the blame
But time and time again it happens all the same
This is not how I intended to be
I guess it just comes naturally
I don't mean to be blunt
I don't mean to offend or affront
I don't mean to ignore
Every time you come a knocking at my door
I don't mean to make you cry
I don't mean to make you wonder why
I don't mean to walk away
Every single time you have something to say
I don't mean to lose the game
But time and time again it happens all the same
This is not how I intended to be
I guess it just comes naturally

You've Come A Long Way
04:02
|
|||
When we were together
I thought you were the one
But what I thought was love
To you was foolish fun
I believed in you up to the very day
You laughed at me and walked away.
-
Now you're standing here
Knocking at my door
And you don't want to live
Without me anymore
I don't believe in you or in the games you play
But before you go I would like to say
-
You came a long way
Going the wrong way
I'm not giving you another chance
Don't settle in and park it
Because I'm not in the market
For a tired broken down romance
Listen to me dear
Let me make this clear
You came a long way
Going the wrong way
-
You played the game
But now I've learned to keep score
And you won't have the chance
To play me anymore
Fool me once and that's a shame
But fool me twice and there's no wonder who's to blame
-
Now you must decide
About your dignity
Do you save a shred or
Leave it all with me
What you ought to do seems plain as day
But before you leave I would like to say
-
You came a long way
Going the wrong way
I'm not giving you another chance
Don't settle in and park it
Because I'm not in the market
For a tired broken down romance
Listen to me dear
Let me make this clear
You came a long way
Going the wrong way

Don't Go There Too
02:56
|
|||
If you baby asks you
"Does this dress make me look fat?"
Please tell me you're smart enough
Not to answer that.
Talk about a slippery slope
And once that you begin
There's no way of knowing
Just where it might end.
-
I'm not going there
and if I were you
I'd come along and join me
And not go there too.
-
Now if your baby asks you
"Honey, do you love my cat?"
Tell me, boy, you're smart enough
not to answer that.
Some things aren't worth saying
and you'll never get them right
And if you do, I guarantee, there's gonna' be a fight!
-
I'm not going there
and if I were you
I'd come along and join me
And not go there too.
-
Nobody is perfect
including you and me
If you're living long enough
eventually you'll see
Life is full of give and take
and you'll find that it's true
You're putting up with something
but she's putting up with you!
-
I'm not going there
and if I were you
I'd come along and join me
And not go there too.
