Cryin' Hurt 03:03
Cryin' Hurt You don't listen to me any more We've forgotten what we're fighting for Now we hesitate to say a word All we do is cause a crying hurt You won't look at me I won't look at you any more Like some Faustian pact There's no going back that's for sure I'm taking a chance Gambling that love will return I dare to remain Circling its flame 'til I'm burned Things are out of hand Things I didn't plan Oh now we make believe Everything's OK, everything's OK

The Grind 03:58
The Grind Don't look at me I got nothing that you need Don't turn to me I got nothing you can use Just got nothing to lose Why look at me I got nothing on my mind That why you treat me unkind I'm up at five cos I'm working all the time Just to hang onto what's mine Well I'm a self made man and I'm running out of parts Well I started out with nothing and I got most of it left My woman ran off with the rest.

You thought he's yours for all time True love is so hard to find But he's been cheating you blind Now you're losing your mind Now you're losing your mind You had him under your thumb Your love was his only one But you discover he's gone Now he's out on the run Yeah he's out on the run You were somebody's baby You were somebody's world You were somebody's angel You cried so many tears Now you're nobody's girl His love is all that you need But you are down on your knees You don't know who to believe Are they laughing at me? Are they lying to me? You thought he's yours for all time True love is so hard to find But he's been cheating you blind Treating you so unkind Now you're losing your mind

What Kind of Woman? What kind of woman are you to try and try to run my life? 'Cos I'm not answering to you any time soon Sure you got the looks got the clothes and the style But you really got nothing to say And if I'm the man of your dreams they must be nightmares I loved a woman like you for a long time But now she means nothing to me So baby believe – won't let you ruin my life What kind of woman are you to try and capture my poor heart Can't you see it's been broken for a long long time? If you knew me better you would realise that I am but a lost cause I'll never be the man of your dreams so get out of here Won't let you ruin my life Won't let you ruin my life No, no, no, no no. Sure you got the looks got the clothes and the style But you really got nothing to say And if I'm the man of your dreams they must be nightmares (ha ha ha!)

Mrs Brown 03:39
Mrs Brown Mrs Brown, Mrs Brown How'd you like to fool around? Would you care for company? Are you lonely just like me? If I took you for a spin Would you tell me it's a sin? Mrs Brown, Mrs Brown When your husband's not in town Does he leave you all alone? Like a dog without its bone? Can we spend a little time? It can be your place or mine Well Mrs Brown I know you're needy And you know that I am greedy for love There's no need for complications And a simple explanation's enough for Mrs Brown Mrs Brown, Mrs Brown Mrs Brown, Mrs Brown I think you'd like to come around We could meet at half past six You could show me some new tricks And I'll show you some of mine With a meeting of the minds Mrs Brown, Mrs Brown If only we was getting down We could spend a happy hour And then take a lazy shower After that we'd simply blow No-one else need ever know

Cynical Love Song I could write a nifty love song if that would make you smile Or if it got me in your arms just once in a while I would sing it personal a secret just for you As long as it got me a little taste of the things that you can do They say that love 'aint cheap Just between you and me You know you're the one that I adore That's what this love song is for Well I know that I'm not perfect and it won't be too long Until my crystal ball's not working and I can't do right from wrong But I know there's always something I can turn to in a crisis To write a smoochy love song and then ask you if you like this I know your love 'aint free you got what I need However much I implore That's what this love song is for They say that all if fair in love and war But this love song is my weapon of choice That I've been searching for Maybe a little melody will put your affections to the test But if it doesn't work I'll just sing for someone else.

I Do What I Do You see me running You see I'm breathless over you I keep coming around Can't help myself Cos you got something That makes me reckless over you I keep coming around Can't help myself But you know there are times When I question myself And for once in my life I can choose so I choose To do what I do I do what I do You make me shiver Oh yeah I really got the shakes I keep coming around Can't help myself Cos you deliver Oh yeah you got just what it takes I keep coming around Can't help myself Anticipation Oh yeah you got me by the heart I keep coming around Can't help myself And the frustration Yeah I felt it from the start I keep coming around Can't help myself

Lift Me Up! 06:02
Lift Me Up When I'm at my lowest ebb and I can't help myself When I've plumbed my deepest depths and I can't find no help I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up again. Only shadows all around lost inside my mind All I need is a little light so I can be found I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up again. I need someone to raise me Save me from insanity 'Cos I know I can't make it on my own Oh I need someone to reach for me A human touch is reality Just to let me know I'm not alone I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up again. When I feel I don't deserve any love at all I need to know somebody cares enough to break my fall I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up I need someone to lift me up again.

Being Like That You always did what you wanted to Somebody hurt didn't bother you Yeah I always said that you'd pay your dues Somewhere down the line You never learn from your own mistakes You always brag when you catch a break It's never give cos it's always take And you're no friend of mine Being like that, you got no business Being like that, you got no business Being like that, you got no business Being like that, you got no business being like that Your Mama told you to tell the truth You turned your back yeah and you refused When Papa beat you he left you bruised It comes as no surprise You take advantage of everyone And laugh at them when the deed is done You only look after number one And that can't be denied And you don't care You don't care You don't care No you don't care Two steps forward and two steps back You're still walking the same old track If anyone asks it's 'Screw you Jack' Why you gotta be like that?

Fabulous Body I'm gonna tell you a little story... Well... I made a coffee and I sat in my chair The telephone was ringing but I didn't care Don't need no distractions gotta keep a clear head She's on a mission you can take it as read She came a-calling and I'm feeling the strain She got a fabulous body but not much of a brain Her Papa's something in the city they say He runs a pension trust to pass the time of day He juggles numbers handles stocks and shares He's a big cheese but his daughter doesn't care She came to borrow sugar the excuse is so lame She got a fabulous body but not much of a brain She used to sing and play a little guitar But the stockbrokers daughter didn't get very far A producer, a computer, the back of a car Twenty BJ's later and they called her a star But it's just an illusion the songs all sound the same She got a fabulous body but not much of a brain Face of an angel Drive you insane Fabulous body Not much of a brain Well maybe I should take what's been offered and run But a girl like her is only so much fun Sure they're fine for a while if nobody gets hurt But that kind of gift horse is more trouble than its worth The telephone can ring itself to pieces all the same She got a fabulous body but not much of a brain
