If You Belonged To Me
Waltzing round the room tonight In someone else’s clothes You’re always coming out of things Smelling like a rose You hang your head and your heart is filled with so much misery You’d be happy as you could be If you belonged to me You say let’s go to the rodeo And see some cowboy fall Sometimes it seems to me you’ve Got no sympathy at all You keep on going on and on about how you’re so free You’d be happy as you could be If you belonged to me It ain’t easy to get to you But there must be some kind of a way If only two could look to you For only one moment of each day You’re saying that you’re all washed up Got nothing else to give Seems like you never figured out How long you have to live You could feel like a baby again sitting on your daddy’s knee Oh how happy you would be If you belonged to me The guy your with is a ruthless pimp Everybody knows Every cent he takes from you Goes straight up his nose You look so sad, you’re going so mad, any fool can see You’d be happy as you could be If you belonged to me You’d be happy as you could be If you belonged to me
The Devil’s Been Busy
While you’re strolling down the fairway Showing no remorse Glowing from the poisons They’ve sprayed on your golf course While you’re busy sinking birdies And keeping your scorecard The devil’s been busy in your back yard Steaming down the highway With your trucks of toxic waste Where you gonna hide it In the outer space? You don’t know what you’re doing Or what you have to guard The devil’s been busy in your back yard Sometimes you think you’re crazy But you know you’re only mad Sometimes you’re better off not knowing How much you’ve been had You see your second cousin Wasted in a fight You say he had it coming You couldn’t do it right You’re in a western movie, playing the part The devil’s been busy in your back yard Sometimes they say you’re wicked But you know that can’t be bad Sometimes you’re better off not knowing It’ll only make you sad They’re coming down Picadilly Dripping at the dash Wasting sticky Willy Covering him with their cash They just might not have noticed, they’ve been beating him so hard And the devil’s been busy in your back yard Devil’s been busy in your back yard Devil’s been busy in your back yard

Where Were You Last Night
Where were you last night? You were so uptight What did you do, who did you see? Were you with someone Who reminded you of me? Where were you last night? Where were you last week? Were you up a creek? Did you stay up pacing the floor? Got me worried You ignore me more and more Where were you last night? You weren’t around me When they found me Where were you last night? You’d better stop your messin' around Your name is going round from town to town It’s making me sad Making me feel bad Where were you last night? Where were you last year? You’re sure as hell weren’t here You weren’t waiting where you said You sent someone in your place instead Where were you last night? It’s getting to me Making me gloomy Where were you last night?
Cool Dry Place
Well I woke up this morning The place was such a wreck I couldn’t reach the bathroom Thought I’d better clear the deck I tried to call the lawyer And ask him what to do He referred me to his doctor Who referred me back to you And when you checked the manual You kept inside the case It said 'put it in a cool dry place' I drove around the city Looking for a room That was high above the water Where my things could be in tune There was no one to help me Nobody even cared I had to got through hell To get those things up there I paid my first subscription Then I joined the idle race And they said 'store it in a cool dry place' I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor Some places they get mildew And others get too hot Some places are so damp that Everything you got just rots All kinds of condensation Directories of the rain There’s not much compensation When everything’s been stained Some have sentimental value that Cannot be erased Go store it in a cool dry place We got solids and acoustics And some from plywood board And some are trimmed in leather And some are made with gourds There’s organs and trombones And reverbs we can use Lots of DX-7s And old athletic shoes I bought a great big building It took up one whole block I made an inventory Of all the things in stock The place was getting longer I was up all night I used up all my pencils But I went onto spite The blury of my vision The sweat upon my face I’ve got to put this stuff away I mustn’t leave a trace The landlord’s breathing down my neck He say’s it’s a disgrace So I said 'put it in a cool, dry, place.'
New Blue Moon
I don’t want nothing Nothing but you Am I waiting Looking for a new blue moon I’m so tired waiting Waiting for you Am I waiting Looking for a new blue moon So many moons have come and gone And none of them were blue So many times the sun came up but Came up without you, you, ya yoo hoo oh You won’t call me Call me lonely Am I waiting Looking for a new blue moon So many moons have come and gone And none of them were blue Too many times the sun came up but it Came up without you, you, ya yoo hoo oh Someday when you hold me Someday you may see I was waiting Looking for a new blue moon I was waiting Looking for a new blue moon Blue Moon
You Took My Breath Away
You took my breath away I want it back again Look at the mess I’m in I don’t know what to say I don’t know how to feel You don’t care anyway All I can do is wait You took my breath away You took this song of mine And changed the middle bit It used to sound alright But now the words don’t fit It’s getting hard to rhyme Impossible to play I’ve tried it many times You took my breath away One day when the sun is shining There will be that silver lining You knocked my headlights out So turn them on again I can’t see where I’m going I can’t tell where I’ve been I don’t know how to feel This hasn’t been my day Seems like I’ve lost a wheel You took my breath away You took my breath away You took my breath away You took my breath away

Nobody’s Child
As I was slowly passing, an orphans home today I stopped for just a little while to watch the children play A lone boy standin', and when I asked him why He turned with eyes that could not see, and he began to cry I’m nobody’s child, I’m nobody’s child Just like a flower I’m growin' wild No mama’s arms to hold me no daddy’s smile Nobody wants me, I’m nobody’s child In every town and village There are places just like this With rows and rows of children And babies in their cribs They’ve long since stopped their cryin' As no-one ever hears And no-one there to notice them or take away their fears Nobody’s child, they’re nobody’s child Just like a flower they’re growin wild No mama’s arms to hold them, no daddy’s smile Nobody wants them they’re nobody’s child Nobody’s child, they’re nobody’s child Just like a flower they’re growin wild No mama’s arms to hold them, no daddy’s smile Nobody wants them they’re nobody’s child Nobody wants them they’re nobody’s child
