Catch As Catch Can

Written by ricky & marty wilde

Something's coming down the street
Something static under your feet
Never looking left or right
'coz she'll just blow you out of sight

She's never waiting on your smile
Devastating, what's in her style ?
Situation no-go zone
But she'll cut loose when she's alone

Chorus:
She's a love blonde
She's a love blonde
She's a love blonde
She's got that sensuality for love

When the boys say "how you been
What you doin', can we get in ?"
Eyes'll flash and lips will smile
And she'll just tease them for a while

'coz now you see her, now you don't
You could be there, only you won't
If you've got that "savoir faire"
Well that girl knows and she's aware

Chorus

Oooh, well if she fills your dreams tonight
Oooh, just lay back and hold on tight

Chorus

Dancing with back street joe
That was a time i loved
When we were kids so young
So long ago

Dancing with back street joe
Back in a time i loved
We used to move all night
That was a time to know

There comes a time in your life
When you just wanna break free
But now i wanna go back
I wanna have him with me

Dancing with back street joe
We used to want that sound
And everytime it played
We used to hang around

There was music and
There was rhythm and
There was something i can't explain
Out of nowhere he'd
Move his shoulder
And make you feel you could
Live again

Then came a moment in time
When i just had to be free
But now i wanna go back
I wanna go back and see
That look in his eyes again
And now on the streets
I look for you joe

Dancing with back street joe
Back in the streets i love
We used to dance all night
Was it so long ago ?

They've been out on the road so long
Now they're working their way through all the dirty towns
Singing their hearts out
To the drunks who haunt the bars
Still the ghosts will keep on calling
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

Guess she heard through a million tears
"when you sing you should brush the hair out of your eyes"
"come and sit by me girl
Would you like to share my beer?"
Feel his hand slip down her shoulder
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

But she's lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
And knowing she lost the life
She could have had

Watching trucks as they roll on by
And she'll wave as they disappear around the bend
Shrugging her shoulders
And she'll head back to the bar
"cue the band" the boss is shouting
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

But she's lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
She's thinking about the good times
Never had
And wondering why the bad times
Get so bad

Written by ricky & marty wilde

Caught in the times we live in
Caught in the times we know
It's taking a real hard line
You feel you're becoming a number
Nobody needs your trouble
Gives you the time of day
But kicking the world behind
Won't make it go away
Cos we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
We've only one life
And we've gotta lot to give
There's only one time
And we've got to make or break it

Let the sparks fly out again
Let the feelings tell you when
Let the sparks fly out again

Flick of the fingers
And they'll cut you down for sure
You gotta be hard sometimes
And so you pretend it's nothing
Finding what to believe in
That's what it's hard to do
Boy there was another time
I saw the best in you
Cos we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring

Shadows run in the heat of the desert
Hands beat at the door
Someone stands and calls
For the name of salome

As the veils were pushed away
He gazed upon a face
He'd never seen
Was she a dream ?

He heard the sound from a distance voice
You'd better watch out!
You'd better watch out!
He heard the sound from a thousand years
Calling out
Calling out

In the house of salome
You have to surrender

"run with her" said the young handmaiden
"she will be your queen
All your life you'll live
In the dream of salome

Take her mouth and with your hands
Just kiss her painted lips
Don't you make a move
'till salome calls you"

As the music danced around the desert night
He smelt her perfumed skin
As they made love

He heard the sound of a distant voice
You'd better watch out!
You'd better watch out!
He heard the sound of a thousand years
Calling out
Calling out

In the house of salome
You have to surrender
