              All The Kings Horses             


                   I know you
                   You always rode so tall in the saddle
                   You are the answer
                   But I know that you are only causin' trouble
                   Take all you want, leave me the rest behind
                   You're a user
                   A winnin' no new friends, just make one small step
                   You're a user
                   You never came to anyone's call
                   Spent all your life head on the wall
                   While you're up there, there's only one way to fall
                   
                   All the king's horses and all the king's men
                   Will never put you together again
                   
                   You still got your chances
                   The one thing the whole world loves is a winner
                   You can't walk on water 
                   With your heat the ice you're on is gettin' thinner
                   You used to be so wise
                   But you are fooled by your own lies
                   And I see right through your disguise
                   
                   All the king's horses and all the king's men
                   Will never put you together again
                   All the king's horses and all the king's men
                   Will never put you together again.

              Big Boy             


                   A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel
                   With a smile on his face
                   The school kids would give me some gin
                   If I would let them in
                   They were shaking all over
                   
                   Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm
                   Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own
                   Can't remember where I'd been
                   I was aching all over
                   From rolling on the stone
                   I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone.
                   
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
                   
                   Kissin' cousins just ain't my style
                   Not like some knight in shining armour
                   Touring with the sideshow
                   That was my blow
                   But we hung on for the fun
                   Lots of fun for everyone
                   
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
                   
                   Till the danger man with his danger plan
                   He took me aside
                   And then he took me apart
                   I was a young man with love in my heart
                   Oh, how he made me pay
                   It was the hard way
                   It was the hard way
                   
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
                   Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
                   Ooh, what a night!

              Freewheeler             


                   I'm a freewheeler, an underground dealer
                   The kind of guy you never get to know
                   So you can quit thinking about stoppin' my drinkin'
                   You know I'll go the road I choose to go
                   
                   I'm a freewheeler, living undercover
                   When things get hot I have to move out fast
                   When they know I'm lyin', the women come cryin'
                   But still I go the road I choose to go
                      
                   No-one's ever going to re-arrange me
                   No-one's ever going to try to change me
                   You know I'll go the road I choose to go
                   
                   I'm doin' fine, takin' my time
                   I don't want to settle down
                   No,no,no

              Heart's Grown Cold             


                   Go out and have your habit,
                   Keep on takin' it
                   Keep on fakin' it
                   You're the one whose heart grows cold
                   You're the one whose heart's grown cold.
                    
                   Go out and have your habit

                   You're the one that's fakin' it
                   You're the one whose heart's grown cold
                   You're the one whose heart's grown cold.
                   
                   I touch your lips with my fingertips
                   I hang on every breath you take
                   You don't need me like,
                   I need you
                   You have your heartaches to climb
                   Everyday, I just hope and pray
                   I just hope that you still have,
                   That you still have your dreams.
                    
                   Come down and tell me that it's better
                   You're the one who's choosin' it
                   You're the one who's losin' it
                   You're the one who's got no soul,
                   You're the one whose heart's grown cold.

              Madelaine             


                   Standing watching a pale blue moon,
                   Rising slowly in the winter sky,
                   Waiting, hoping she'll be home soon,
                   And I won't ask her where or why.
                   
                   As the evening shadows fall,
                   Madelaine, Madelaine
                   I can hear the night wind call,
                   Call her name, Madelaine.
                    
                   Turning slowly I hear her call,
                   Echo softly through the silver pines,
                   Walking home the first snowflake falls,
                   Still, she's always on my mind.
                   
                   As the evening shadows fall,
                   Madelaine, Madelaine
                   I can hear the night wind call,
                   Call her name, Madelaine.

                   Here we are
                   We sail on a ship made of dreams
                   
                   And I
                   I only exist to believe
                   The stars
                   The stars that I see watching me
                   
                   Hold me close
                   Your arms and your love comfort me
                   The sea
                   Is deep and it waits endlessly
                   Oh why
                   To give just to take it from me
                   
                   Here we are
                   We sail on a ship made of dreams

                   I watch for a sign constantly
                   The sea
                   Is deep and it waits ceaselessly.

                   The lights are low,
                   The crowd is high,much higher than
                   They're meant to be
                   We take the stage and start to play
                   The lights come up for all to see
                   
                   Here we are again, singin' the same old songs
                   Lookin for someone who will sing along
                   Here we are again playin' the same old scenes
                   Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams
                   Here we are again facing the same old sights
                   Lookin' for someone who will share our nights

              This Flight Tonight             


                   Look out the left the captain said
                   The lights down there that's where we'll land
                   Saw a falling star burning
                   High above the Las Vegas sand
                    
                   It wasn't the one that you gave to me
                   That night down south between the trailers
                   Not the early one that you wish upon
                   Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
                   
                   You've got that touch so gentle and sweet
                   But you've got that look so critical
                   Can't talk to you babe you know I get so weak
                   Sometimes I think that love is just mythical
                   
                   Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
                   Blackness everywhere any little lights shine
                   Blackness, blackness draggin' me down
                   Come on light a candle in this heart of mine

                   Starbright, starbright, you've got the lovin' that I like
                   Turn this crazy bird around
                   Should not have got on this flight tonight
                   
                   I'm drinkin' sweet champagne got the headphones up high
                   Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind
                                         
                   They're singin'-"Goodbye baby,
                   Baby bye-bye,
                   Ooh! love is blind"
                   
                   Up go the flaps,down go the wheels
                   Hope you got your heat turned on baby
                   Hope they've finally fixed your automobile
                   Hope it's better when we meet again babe.

              Victoria             


                   Victoria, Victoria I could love you for a hundred years
                   And still want more of ya!
                   
                   It's been a long time now since high school days
                   But when I'm with you, darling you still amaze me
                   No one could ever come before ya
                   God knows how much I still adore ya
                   
                   My Victoria, Victoria, I could love you for a hundred years
                   And still want more of ya!
                   
                   Hey little girl when we first met
                   I was shaking so hard you really made me sweat
                   You opened up my eyes and showed me
                   You took me by surprise and floored me
                   
                   We walked to school together
                   Just a boy and a girl
                   We talked through all kinds of weather
                   About giving our love a whirl
                                                
                   Do you remember at the high school dance
                   When the beach boys sang about good vibrations
                   
                   My Victoria, Victoria, I could love you for a hundred years 
                   And still want more of ya!
                   
                   We walked to school together
                   Just a boy and a girl
                   We talked through all kinds of weather
                   About giving our love a whirl
                             
                   We were cruisin' the strip every Friday night
                   Headin' for the beach in a two tone torc flight
                   First time I turned and saw you
                   God only knows I love you
                   Never anyone before you
                   Don't you know I still adore you
                    
                   My Victoria, Victoria ...
