1. _ Welcome To Paradise
I kissed my mother
Shook the hand of my brother
And i said goodbye to the woman i loved
It may seem like a madness
To be leaving the love nest
But i'm taking a chance on a place far away
Welcome to paradise
Who said you can't live twice
You will find heaven is here on earth
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say . . .
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
Bad vibrations (there's a coup coming on)
Feeling the tension (there's a coup coming on)
No smoke without fire (there's a coup coming on)
I could smell the danger
Never dance with a stranger
But the music took me and soon i was lost
So i questioned a lady
But her answers were crazy
And before i knew i was counting the cost
Welcome to paradise
Love it but don't look twice
You'll soon be living in make believe
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say . . .
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
Somebody help me (there's a coup coming on)
(welcome to paradise)
So much i don't follow (there's a coup coming on)
(welcome to paradise)
I'm not looking for trouble (there's a coup coming on)
(welcome to paradise)
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
I shouldn't have come
No i shouldn't have come
Why did i come, hey!
The clouds were gathering
And the temperature rising
Be no turning back all my bridges were burned
Then it hit me, jumped up and bit me
Now i'm under your spell i can never return
This is your paradise
Now you must pay the price
You should have flown
When the coup was blown
Welcome to paradise
Did somebody say . . .
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
There's a coup coming on
A coup coming on
A band on the run
Annie get your gun

2. _ Feel The Benefit
Reminisce and speculation
You went out on the street without your shoes on
You didn't listen what your momma said
She said you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit
And if we all went out without our shoes on
Tell me where would we be, where would we be
If all the people in the world lost their reason
What would we see, where would we be
If all the entertainers in the world lost their music
What would they play, what could they say
To pacify the crowd, to justify themselves
Won't feel the benefit
You're like a cloud behind the sun
Like the face behind the clown
You're moving like the wrinkles in a frown
And you can never look back
A leaf that's borne upon the wind
A cardboard suitcase in your hand
The wanderer soon returns
And finds the colour of the grass is just the same
On the other side of the tracks, oh no
"a" latin break
Ooh when you smile it's like a holiday
Ooh pack your bags and we can get away
We'll float on a queen down to rio
There's no need to shave
We'll be stinking like rum in a punch
You can walk on the water
You can dabble in the mumbo jumbo
You can smoke a little ganja
Float like a cloud over rio, rio
You can ride with the gauchos
Swinging your bolas in a red bandana
You can run with the devil
Takin' your chances with senorita
You can drink a lot of coffee in brazil
But the bill is gonna make you ill
"feel the benefit"
So, you can go out on the street and take your chances
But if you do, you better do it right
Or you won't feel the benefit, won't feel the benefit
Spin the wheel and take your chances
And your number might come up
Though the odds may be in favor of the house
If all the people in the world would say together
We're all black and white, we're all day and night
If all the people in the world could sing together
How would it sound, what would we feel
We'd all feel the benefit

3. _ Wall Street Shuffle
Do the wall street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the sterling crumble
You need a yen to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be getty, rothschild
You've gotta be cool on wall street
You've gotta be cool on wall street
When your index is low
Dow jones ain't got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime
But you ain't got the time
Doin' the....
Doin' the....
Oh, howard hughes
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?
`cos you're big enough
To do the wall street shuffle
Let your money hustle
Bet you'd sell your mother
You can buy another
Doin' the....
Doin' the....
You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But you're living on instinct
You get a tip
You follow it
And you make a big killing
On wall street

4. _ Art For Arts Sake
Gimme your body
Gimme your mind
Open your heart
Pull down the blind
Gimme your love gimme it all
Gimme in the kitchen gimme in the hall
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Gimme the readys
Gimme the cash
Gimme a bullet
Gimme a smash
Gimme a silver gimme a gold
Make it a million for when i get old
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Money talks so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat oh no
When you get down, down to the root
Don't give a damn don't give a hoot
Still gotta keep makin the loot
Chauffeur driven
Gotta make her quick as you can
Give her lovin' make you a man
Get her in the palm of your hand
Bread from heaven
Gimme a country
Where i can be free
Don't need the unions
Strangling me
Keep me in exile the rest of my days
Burn me in hell but as long as it pays
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake
Art for arts sake
Money for gods sake

5. _ I'm Mandy Fly Me
Just like a rollin' stone
I'm outside lookin' in
But if your chance came would you take it
Where on earth do i begin
I'm mandy fly me
I've often heard her jingle
It's never struck a chord
With a smile as bright as sunshine
She called me through the poster
And welcomed me aboard
She led me she fed me
She read me like a book
But i'm hiding in the small print
Won't you take another look
And take me away
Try me mandy fly me away
The world was spinning like a ball
And then it wasn't there at all
And as my heart began to fall
I saw her walking on the water
As the sharks were comin' for me
I felt mandy pull me up give me the kiss of life
Just like the girl in dr. no no no no
Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage
And her body couldn't be found
Was it in my mind it seems
I had a crazy dream
I told them so but they said no no no no
I found me on a street
And starin' at a wall
If it hadn't have been for mandy
Her promise up above me
Well i wouldn't be here at all
So if you're travellin' in the sky
Don't be surprised if someone said hi
I'm mandy fly me

6. _ Good Morning Judge
Well good morning judge, how are you today
I'm in trouble, please put me away
A pretty thing took a shine to me
I couldn't stop her so i let it be
I couldn't stop her so i let it be
I couldn't stop her so i let it be
I couldn't stop her so i let it be
He didn't do it, he wasn't there
He didn't want it, he wouldn't dare
Well good morning judge, yes i'm back again
I'm in trouble, so it's back to the pen
I found a car but i couldn't pay
I fell in love and i drove it away
I fell in love and i drove it away
I fell in love and i drove it away
I fell in love and i drove it away
He didn't do it, he wasn't there
He didn't want it, he wouldn't dare
I didn't do it, i wasn't there
I didn't want it, i wouldn't dare
Alcatraz is like a home sweet home
I'm so wanted and i'm never alone
San quentin is the place to be
I'm so happy i don't wanna be free
So happy i don't wanna be free
So happy i don't wanna be free
So happy i don't wanna be free

7. _ I'm Not In Love
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase i'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if i call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase i'm going through
And just because i call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love
I'm not in love

9. _ Things We Do For Love
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea,
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.
Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love....

10. _ Dreadlock Holiday
I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And i looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
Don't you walk thru my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru my words
`cause you ain't heard me out yet
Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said i'll give you one dollar
I said you've got to be jokin' man
It was a present from me mother
He said i like it i want it
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone
A long way from home
And i say
I don't like reggae no no
I love it
I don't like reggae oh no
I love it
Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer on me pitch
Don't you walk thru my words
`cause you ain't heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said i've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a dreadlock holiday
And i say
Don't like jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
`cause you ain't heard her out yet
I don't like cricket
I love it (dreadlock holiday)
I don't like reggae
I love it (dreadlock holiday)
Don't like jamaica
I love her (dreadlock holiday)

12. _ The Stars Didn't Show
We came from miles around
Just to listen to your sound
You made the night seem endless
You cast a magic spell
You played the part so well
Your music blew away the darkness
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
But we never took you for granted
Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show
You made me stand so proud
I was lifted from the crowd
The fire inside me burning
The figure dressed in black
Sending shivers down my back
Deep inside my soul was stirring
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
The sweet inspiration that you gave us
And i can remember we didn't rehearse
The night that the stars didn't show
Mountains may crumble
And worlds fall apart
Lovers and friends may desert me
The road may be long
But i know in my heart
Your spirit will always be with me
The thrill to be up there
A sea of faces everywhere
I look i find you
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
But we never took you for granted
Your lives were a blessing
But they carried a curse
The night that the stars didn't show
We loved you for better
We loved you for worse
The sweet inspiration that you gave us
And i can remember we didn't rehearse
The night that the stars didn't show
