Don't
Walk Away Eileen
Don't walk away Eileen
I've been living for you since the age of seventeen
Don't walk away Eileen
You've been telling lies and now it's time to come clean
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Eileen says I'm a boy not a man
Cryin' on the corner with my head in my hands
I called her name and she ran
Slippin' through my fingers like a fist full of sand
Hey! You come around and I lose my head
Hey! You turn around and I am left for dead
And she reads my mind when I'm sleeping
And she arrives when I am leaving
Yeah she's blocking out the sun it seems
You're a pacfist with a gun Eileen
Hey! You come around and I can't keep time
Hey! You turn around and I'm left behind
Hey! You come around and I lose my head
Hey! You turn around and I'm left for dead
Brother
Down
One life to live but
we're doing it wrong you see
Got my brother down 'cause it's nothing to me
Everyone's saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there's no other way to get your life on easy street
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
And the only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
Rich man crying 'cause his money is time
Poor man smiling 'cause he knows he ain't blind
There's a man over there says he's tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy
I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by
Take it all back 'cause it don't mean nothing
If you give it away and you're looking for something back
You wake up every morning and there's nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care
Someone else telling you what you're living for
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
And the only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war
One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see
Where
Have All The Good People Gone?
Oh the Milky Way has
gone a little sour
The leaves dried and the flower fell away
I've been sitting, I've been waiting for a sign
Inhuman beings taking up all of my time
Wanna leave but I've got to stay
And I'm wondering more everyday
Montreal to Hong Kong
Where have all the good people gone?
Traffic jam but I'm on the shoulder
Took ten cops to pull me over
Bangkok to Babylon
Where have all the good people gone?
I haven't made a friend in a long long while
They don't check my head but they check my style
The modern world is a cold cold world
And all I meet is cold cold girls
Wanna leave but I got to stay
I'm wondering more every day
Montreal to Hong Kong
Where have all the good people gone?
Traffic jam but I'm on the shoulder
Took ten cops to pull me over
Bangkok to Babylon
Where have all the good people gone?
And it's always the same
We all just turn away
We are stealing from ourselves
We are feeding off ourselves
Oh the Milky Way has gone a little sour
The leaves dried and the flower fell away
Want to leave but I got to stay
And I 'm wondering more everyday
Montreal to Hong Kong
Where have all the good people gone?
Traffic jam but I'm on the shoulder
Took ten cops to pull me over
Bangkok to Babylon
Where have all the good people gone?
Time's up and we're running long
Where have all the good people gone?
When Everything Was
Alright
There goes my mind
There goes my mind And it's the same
mistake I've made so many time that my own mother thinks
I'm blind You can't be true You can't be true And I'm
spending all my money making sure that things are going
right for you
Starting all over to the time when everything was alright
You got no love You got no love And don't come crying
home girl when you realize that you ain't got no love I'm
coming down I'm coming down And I'm paranoid of
everything yeah girl you got me living underground
Starting all over to the time when everything was alright
My jaundice went away in 1997 They said your liver's fine
now but you're never going to heaven Cause of what you
done, cause of what you done Said listen son, it's cause of
what you done Yeah!
Starting all over to the time when everything was alright
My
Love Is Freeing
I know that we've
been moving around And I see that it's
been getting you down Well I found a little lover's surprise
My love is freeing And your life is deceiving My eyes are
seeing And seeing is believing
I know that we've been stuck in this town And I see that it's
been letting you down Well here's your little lover's surprise
My love is freeing And your life is deceiving Blind man is
seeing And seeing is believing
This Is How I Live
Met a girl on a farm
we started carrying on, late at
night she
said honey - won't you stay? I said baby that just ain't the
way I live Uh Huh!
I had this girl in the south she said you got a big mouth, and
that ain't right Well I'm no saint, but I ain't bad I'm too busy
baby just loving the life I have Oh Yeah!
And I'd stay but I got to move on I ride the wind and I'm gone
Oh, I'm ready to go I got 19 women on my mind I got 6 lives
left 'cause I've already died 3 times but I'm fine
I heard a knock at the door It was a quarter to four I heard
fee fi fo, fo-fo-fum I'm young, dumb and ready to come alive My My!
And I'd stay but I got to move on I ride the wind and I'm gone
Oh, this is how I live Oh, I got nothing to give
I took a seat at the bar You know I wouldn't be far Some
people came and then they went But I ain't leaving till my
money is spent Oh No!
