1. _ Edge Of The Night
I saw the canopies, beneath the buildings discreet
The hour's late and not a soul on the street,
As i stood alone there, at the edge of the night.
With all your wisdom, you had gone to bed early
I hesitated and just think what it cost me
Just like a victim in the sights it doesn't feel right
At the edge of the night.
I had the backbone but then, i heard it cracking.
I faced the terror but i found myself lacking
What good is courage here, at the edge of the night.
At the edge of the night.
There was this man,
Gun in his hand,
That wanted to waste me
My mouth became dry,
I reached for the sky,
The sight seemed to freeze me
He said he'd been a hero,
Now he'd fallen down to zero
Ain't it a crime
Whooo
I handed over all i had on my person
My bank america card and this was my first one
Then he just stepped right out of sight, at the edge of the night
At the edge of the night.

2. _ She Don't
She doesn't see the yellow light, falling on formica table tops
She doesn't see the empty chairs in her life
Of all these sad cafes, i think she's seen quite a lot.
And heard all this road house stuff going down.
And i say she don't have to worry.
She don't have to care,
She don't have to worry
'cause i'll be there.
I feel like i'm such a fool, keeping something up here
The reasons that i do just ain't clear
I try i try i try to keep satisfied
But it isn't what i want,
And nothing's gonna keep me from the other side
And i say she don't have to worry.
She don't have to care,
She don't have to worry
'cause i'll be there.
It seems like a hopeless case of just plain wasted time
I don't feel another day makes any sense.
She don't need to worry.

3. _ I'm Calling
You've got a loaded imagination
Uncovering investigations
And i like that
You were born on another planet
In words of the man i think you have it,
And i want some
Well every time i try to call you on the telephone
I'm full of sadness when i know that you're not there
Another star appears high in the heavens and i guess i don't care
Imagination
Uncovering a watergate investigation,
That's good
You were born on another planet,
In the words of the man you have it,
And i think i'd like some.
Well every time i try to call you on the telephone etc.
I keep, calling calling can't get the number
My garden's full of green vegetation
And underneath the greenfly i think something's
Growing there
You were born on another planet
In the words of the book i think you've read it,
I want some.
Well every time i try to call you on the telephone etc.
I can't reach that number, i keep calling.

4. _ Lost That Girl
I got myself some good news
I bought myself some blue suede shoes
I took down my suit and i pressed it.
I shook up my body, and i lost that girl.
Well i made my first mistake
Asking that little girl to wait
She was the icing on my cake
And now she's gone, and i lost that girl.
She gives me the heebie-jeebies
Shakes me down to my knees.
She waits till i really get rolling
Then she passes me like a breeze
You know the red light sealed my fate
I knew then i'd be late
When i got there she gave me the freeze
She said you're gone boy, and i lost that girl
Help me find her dick.
I was out in search of a good time
Scanning the streets i felt fine
I fell for that perfect double cross
Lucked out, and i lost that girl.
Policeman in the car park,
Waiting for me outside
You know he give me that real heat treatment
When the flashlight hit my eyes.
You know i made my second mistake
Asking that cop to wait
He said i'm gonna put you away for good, and
You'll be gone and he said here boy you're really dead.
Lost that girl.

5. _ Bitter End
They say that bearing crosses is a religion in itself
But honey the strain i'm under, it's ruining my health
When we first met as lovers, we walked together hand in hand
But now that bridge of love has shattered, i'm such a lonely man
I'm not gonna be your monkey,
I'm not gonna be your fool
I'm not gonna stand round waiting
While you're out there trying to be cool
At the bitter end.
Well you listed all my virtues honey, and you charged a real high price
Well given this set of circumstances, i don't think that's nice
I'm not gonna be your monkey, i'm not gonna be your clown
I'm not gonna stand round watching as they lower you down
In the ground
At the bitter end.
I'm like a knight in shining armour, honey do i detect some rust?
I'm moving one step higher, honey tell me, honey tell me, honey you must
Well i gave you all my confidence, and you gave me back just lies
I recognise amongst our best friends, most of them are spies
With all this poison in the system, love was murdered from the first
And though i practiced eastern logic, i just cannot break the curse
Well i'm not gonna be your monkey,
I'm not gonna dance any jig
I'm not gonna stand round waiting,
As you're taking your lunch with the pigs
At the bitter end.

6. _ Office Love
It was a grey dawn, penciled in lightly
The morning screamed, neath the traffic's feet
The razor burned commuters reflections
It didn't seem a visual treat.
The office staff begin the humdrum
Making the hours and the money flow.
The guilty lovers keep their secret
And hope it doesn't show.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
He catches the train up every morning
From his croyden executive estate
He's convinced he needs a new future
But she's prepared to wait
He swears to step cleanly from a marriage
That's become so tangled and confused
She knows he's lying for his pleasures
He doesn't see her cry.
He doesn't see her die.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back
She goes home, knowing that it can't go on
Her secret fears become too strong
Seeing what little love she has she's losing
He's the type that manages to sleep at night
The guilt is safely locked away
But it was just another day, and he's so tired.
Her heart seemed set on destruction
With lips drawn pale and thin
She offered up love like a sacrifice
And he was closing in.
Her mother sat on the end of the bed
Through the dark hours of the night
Wagging her finger saying honey
This just isn't right.
Oh no office love is such a bitch
Oh no like a knife in the back

7. _ It's So Hard
Early in the morning when i get out of bed
She says get up honey your eyes are really red
It's those late nights that you're keeping with your pals
She says get down to the pub, give me some ale.
It's the reason that i must get a job
She says look in the papers there's something for you in there
It's the reason that i feel it's a sin
All the kids lining up, all the kids staying thin
It's so hard
I see a ship and it is coming down the thames
Up and down up and down here it comes again
In my binoculars the captain looks sweet
He has tattoos on his arm, and he's really neat.
It's so hard
Down at the labour and there's nothing for me
He has a cabin and he's safe at sea.
Stowaway tanker is something to he, it's so hard.
Meanwhile back in the kitchen there is something real dull
She is standing in her curlers and she's ready to blow
A see thru apron round her waist and her thighs
She says give me one i say no.
It's too hard.

8. _ No Future
Honey remember me, i'm the one you brought home
Do you remember last night
It was a party, down on the block,
Honey do you think that was right
Is it so easy for married women to hide their
Rings in their coat pocket
Take out a youth from some scene, and really
Think they really got it.
Take it, eat it, put it in your pocket
Honey leave the rest of me behind
Take it, eat it, put it in your pocket
Handbag or something of that kind.
Is that your old man on the dresser,
Honey turn his face to the wall
I can't perform, perform in these conditions,
Honey i can't perform at all
I can't believe that someone like you
Could really take someone like me
Can you believe in grandsons or grandchildren,
Honey can this really be
You got no future.
Is it so easy to take me to your country home
Is it so easy to leave
What do you think i do for a living,
Honey won't you look at my sleeve
Hole is there it's poking right through,
Elbows and even the bone
Don't you believe someone like me
Really has some kind of home
You like her a lot, you need some more,
But then pour me a drink, and close that door,
I'm dressed real sharp, sharp enough for you,
I can see the place we're going to.
No future.

9. _ Sea Of Blue
It's a sadness it's a crime
Why i wasted so much time
All i've got left is sea of blue
Holding on i can't let go
If i do the tears will flow.
All i could see is a sea of blue.
She's the woman i need to love
Wearing her heart on my sleeve
She's the woman i want you to see
'cause there's blood on my hands when she leaves
Cries from the street it's after dark
Leaves a silence that's so stark
Echoes in the night from a sea of blue
Sea of blue.
She turns me on like some radio set
Keeps me playing every night and day
Leaves me on the window sill, she just might forget
Some fool might creep up and just come and steal me away
Many days and endless nights
That she's filled my life with light
Now that she's gone it's a sea of blue
Feeling down and i don't know why
That my blues should reach the sky.
All i got left is a sea of blue.

10. _ Falling Again
I caught the last bus down to the harbour
Where the moonlight's on the sleeping sea
A pretty girl stood there at the bus stop
She said hey johnny come and see about me.
She said doop doop.
So many seamen able and willing
Have passed through these arms on their way to the sea
They leave me tokens of love and affection
When i drank from her lips i tasted the sea.
She said doop doop.
How can a young girl hope to survive
Living alone when there's no-one alive
Out in the night she swallows her pride
And she says catch me johnny i'm falling again.
I jumped a freighter bound for mombassa
I worked every day neath a burning sky
L wrote her sea poems and nautical letters
I remember her words till the day that i die.
She said doop doop.
