I'm hot for you it's undignified
You can take me anywhere anytime
Day or night
I love you baby
Even if it ends in tears
I'm sending my love to you You know I want you here
I think you're perfect for me
I think I'm perfect for you too
Come on King Mula let me be your queen
I'll kiss your feet Swing my hips Whisper your name Close to your lips
So far I think it's you that's been calling the shots Thats ok cos I like you a lot
You're a handsome man brave one too
And you know I like getting down dirty with you

One and Only

I'd like to think that I'm your one and only Call it love but you don't think you own me Give me space but you wont leave me lonely
I'll travel with you anywhere you want to go Pack up the car in a minute of you saying so Say I love you loud and everybody knows
Your sweet kisses keep them coming I think you and I mean something
I'll even listen to your version of Khe San
You are the reason that I will Keep on believing in love Shut my eyes I'll take a dive Will you catch me'
I know the feeling when love has flown Heart is heavy sinking like a stone
Call the search off I am not lost

True Believer
03:23
|
|
||
|
Everything I have believed in
Has been stretched until its heaving
Like a punch drunk fighter
I step into the ring for more
In the past I'd duck for cover
Change my house or change my lover Can someone come and save me Save me from my self
Rapunzel let her hair down There was no other way Judas betrayed Jesus Compassion doesn't pay True believer self deceiver
Step it out just try and keep it real
My friends tell me that they're yearning While the world it keeps on turning Take comfort where you find it
Maybe this is all a dream
I'm a lazy river flowing
With no say in where I'm going
And I wont stop
Until I've reached the open sea

Paulies Last Ride
03:54
|
|
||
|
Coming for me on Friday
I'll be waiting at the top of the drive
His big old car is gonna pull up
Going to take us for Paulies last ride
Like to tell them that I have made it
That my life's been one big success
But I'm still singing for my supper
The governments making up the rest
Going back to my home town
Find the lost part of me
Might be hanging around
Might be sitting on the courthouse steps
Drinking at the Commercial
Climb through barbed wire fences
Let down your defences
And come on back to me
Country 'round here has faded
The land has given up the ghost
I imagine I can still see the traces
Of the people who loved this place the most
I know trouble when it's brewing
Paulie you were cooking up trouble that's for sure
And the fine mess that you got yourself into
Well I guess it aint going to be troubling you no more

Rambling Ways
03:49
|
|
||
|
I've never a reckless kind of life
l've had a worried mind
I've never wanted to settle down
I'm not the settling kind
These rambling ways of mine
They get me in trouble all the time
I've hung out with the wrong crowd
I've spent lots of time alone
Been searching for forever now
To find a place to call my own my very own
You wouldn't think a home was so hard
Wouldn't think a home was so hard
Wouldn't think a home was so hard to find
Treat a stranger kind treat a stranger kind
These rambling ways of mine
They get me in trouble all the time
Now when restless yearnings come
A shadow falls across the sun
I look my darlings in the eye
I sing to them sweet bye and bye

Rain Falls
03:36
|
|
||
|
I've made my mind up now it's time
Been running on empty been running around
Gonna find me a new song to sing
Find someone who'll listen and I'll pour it in
Clear as water ringing pure like truth
Sinking in slowly sticky like glue
I've been the waitress at your table
What would you like everything's available
Time slipped by like sand through my fingers
Life was honey sweet and the taste of it lingers
Yes I'm older now but I see in 20/20
I'm a little bit scared but I'm steel and real and ready
Rain falls when it wants to
A river flows cos it has to
Pushing to hard its unnatural
A late blooming girl has a place in the world
Money can't buy it I've seen many try that
Faking it is not going to make it last
Dream wont die down they'll have to run me out of town
Coming at you like a bullet from a gun
Watching the gulls fly across the bay
Can my will bend before it breaks
Where do notes hang before a player finds them
How does love know a heart
Where all stumbling round blindly
Like a thief in the night
Going to find my way inside me
I've found what I'm looking for
And I've got my dreams to guide me

Heart It Was a Desert
04:06
|
|
||
|
A man with an umbrella
Meets a woman with barbed wire
They circle round each other
Never naming the desire
That had captured them and claimed them
Threatening to derail them
They threw their lot in together
Took a train and headed south
The woman saw a hard man
Believing she could make him change
He beat her with no bruising
Stripped her bare to raw hot shame
His heart it was a desert
No love was going to grow there
His heart it was a desert
No love was going to go there
You can lead a horse to water You cant make it drink
You can tell a man a story
You cant tell him what to think
Peace come to me
Trouble let me be Dreams set me free
My heart wont be a desert

Dirt Music
04:05
|
|
||
|
They were no childhood sweethearts
They were no pretty young things
Their love was pure and dangerous
Sometime since they'd felt clean felt clean
Sometime since they'd felt clean
They sat down at the table
They stared into each others eyes
My love please don't betray me
Don't you run away and hide oh no
Don't you run away and hide
Kicking up the dust
Dirt music
Stamp time
It's dirt music
So long I have been lonesome
My family lost to me
Proper broken hearted
Cut loose and all at sea all at sea
Cut loose and all at sea
Come to me with belonging
Bind me up in ties that are strong
Or cast me out into the desert
And forever wi!l l roam no connections
Forever will I roam
In the desert there's a truth that comes looking for you
In the desert there's a truth that comes hunting you down
There's a note a single note that through your body resounds •1"'
Calling you back to put your feet on the ground

Anchor Me
02:04
|
|
||
|
Please if you find me in the company of strangers
Try to remind me another drink here could be dangerous
Theres a wilderness inside me spent my whole life trying to tame it
Put your arm around my shoulder anchor me until it's over
Elvis he was looking but he didn't find the answers
King of small town boys who was burning down his bridges
Maybe if he'd called out if someone had heard his plea
Put your arm around my shoulder anchor me until its over
Lucky the sun knows exactly what to do
Rising on up going down before the moon
Lucky the birds don't fall out of the sky
They just beat their wings they don't stop to wonder why
If you come upon me and I'm howling at the moon
Or I'm crawling on my knees looking for a tune
Don't think I'm broken hearted don't think I've lost my way
Put your arm around my shoulder anchor me until its over

Love Thing
09:08
|
|
||
|
I wanted this love thing
I would covet it openly
Long for it secretly
Search for it endlessly
Now that its come to me
I want you to take it back
It's always unexpected
When I get just what I want
Didn't even have to beg
Wasn't down on my knees
Pleading with you baby please
You just gave it cos you wanted to
You know I want this love thing
I'll keep it safe inside of me
Pray the Gods they are appeased
That my scars wont start to bleed
My innocence returned to me
This crazy and beautiful life
