1. _ Walk Of Life
Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby what i say
Here comes johnny singing i gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here come johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-bop-a-lula, baby what i say
Here comes johnny singing i gotta woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

3. _ The Bug
Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the brakes
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely
And you're gonna know bad
When you're rippin' and a ridin' and you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and a slidin' and it all goes wrong, because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
One day you got the glory
One day you got none
One day you're a diamond
And then you're a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all

4. _ Cannibals
Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy's hand
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy
You're gonna be a big strong man
And they go play catch they go play ball
They go take a walk along the sand
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
Living in a big strong land
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can i have a dinosaur
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more
Down in louisiana there's a hurricane coming
The little boy climbs the stairs
And all along the levee all the people come running
And the little boy's saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
And he's asking for his g.i. joe
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
And says my little one i love you so
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Leave a light outside the door
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more
Lay down your head now don't get out of bed
Don't you let the bedbugs bite
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
And i'll see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
The hurricane had blown away
And daddy's little boy was jumping up for joy
And he was singing at the break of day
Daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy can i be a warrior
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more
Yeah daddy is he a goodie or a baddie
Daddy why do people go to war
Once upon a time there were cannibals
Now there are no cannibals any more

5. _ Je Suis D
We are leaving, leaving
Leaving on the tide
Come and stand beside me love
The water is so wide
You can hear the sailors calling
At the dawning of the day
Yesterday is falling, love
And je suis d |

7. _ Imelda
She's going shopping for shoes
She wants them in magenta and caribbean blue
Platinum and buttercup lilac and black
They fill a bucket up and laugh behind her back
Imelda baby imelda baby what to do
All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you
In new york and paris on the champs elys |
8. _ I'm The Fool
I never thought i'd be the one
To be the raging bull
There'd always be a smoking gun
Who'd up and lose his cool
I never thought i'd have to say
I'm sorry, my love, because
I'm the fool i never
Fool i never thought i was
I left my dreams with broken strings
It's time i learnt to talk
Stop falling over things
Teach myself to walk
I'm not a superman
Or mr. wonderful,
Because i'm the fool i never
Fool i never thought i was
I'm the know it all
Trying to mend his broken heart
But i don't know how to call
And i don't know where to start
Now if you should lose your faith in me
I don't know where i'd run
I hope you'll always let me be
Your only one
Am i your one true love
Or am i too late for your applause
I'm the fool i never
Fool i never thought i was
Darling, i'm the fool i never
Fool i never thought i was

9. _ Golden Heart
She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store
A while before we met
The most dangerous angels that you ever saw
She spied her amulet
And she took a loop of leather for around her neck
And that was then the start
The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck
She found her golden heart
You found your golden heart
Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun
To some arcadian band
I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum
Just to hold time in my hand
And you shot me with a cannonball of history
And long forgotten art
I'd be turning it over as our words ran free
I'd hold your golden heart
I'd hold your golden heart
Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart
Nothing in the world that i love more your heart, your heart
Your golden heart
And every time i'm thinking of you from a distant shore
And all the time i sleep
I will have a reminder that my baby wore
A part of you to keep
And i'll send you all my promises across the sea
And while we are apart
I will carry the wonder that you gave to me
I'll wear your golden heart
I'll wear your golden heart
Nothing in the world prepared me for you, your heart, your heart
Nothing in the world that i love more your heart, your heart
Your golden heart

10. _ Sultans Of Swing
(mark knopfler)
You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth london town
You check out guitar george he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for friday night
With the sultans with the sultans of swing
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the sultans played creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
And he makes it fast with one more thing
'we are the sultans of swing'

11. _ Calling Elvis
Calling elvis - is anybody home
Calling elvis - i'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling elvis - i'm here all alone
Well tell him i was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
Return to sender - treat me like a fool
Calling elvis - is anybody home
Calling elvis - i'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Can he come to the phone
Calling elvis - i'm here all alone
Why don't you go get him - i'm his biggest fan
You gotta tell him - he's still the man
Long distance baby - so far from home
Don't you think maybe you could put him on
Well tell him i was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
Return to sender - treat me like a fool
Calling elvis - is anybody home
Calling elvis - i'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Can he come to the phone
Calling elvis - i'm here all alone

We've paid in hell since moscow burned
As cossacks tear us piece by piece
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though death would be a sweet release
And our grande arm |
13. _ Romeo And Juliet
A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?
Juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?
Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And i bet and you exploded in my heart
And i forget i forget the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?
Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong?
I can't do the talk like they talk on tv
And i can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but i'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all i do is miss you and the way we used to be
All i do is keep the beat and bad company
All i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie i'd do the stars with you any time
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?
A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

14. _ Telegraph Road
A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came riding down the track
And they never went further and they never went back
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the mines - then came the ore
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road
You know i'd sooner forget but i remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
But believe in me baby and i'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'cos i've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And i don't wanna see it again
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
All the way down the telegraph road

15. _ Darling Pretty
It's time to come away, my darling pretty
It's time to come away on the changing tide
Time to come away, darling pretty
And i need you darling by my side
Heal me with a smile, darling pretty
Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my darling pretty
Heal my aching heart and soul
Just like a castaway
Lost upon an endless sea
I saw you far away
Come to rescue me
Cast away the chains, darling pretty
Cast away the chains away behind
Take away my pain, my darling pretty
And the chains that once were yours and mine
There will come a day, darling pretty
There will come a day when hearts can fly
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and i
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and i
