Under My Thumb
Under my thumb, the girl who once had me down
Under my thumb, the girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears, down to me
The change has come, she's under my thumb 

Under my thumb is a squirming dog who just had her day
Under my thumb this girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me
The way she does just what she's told, down to me
The change has come, she's under my thumb

It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to, down to me
The change has come, she's under my thumb

Under my thumb, a Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb, she's the sweetest pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to, down to me
The change has come, she's under my thumb

Yeah, she's under my thumb
Bitch is under my thumb
Yeah, she's under my thumb

My Wife (Live)
Watch this foot


My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I ain't been home since Friday night
And now my wife is coming after me

Give me police protection, gonna buy a gun
So I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A back belt Judo expert with a machine gun

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough to send her half insane

Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

All I did was have a bit too much to drink
And I picked the wrong precinct
Got picked up by the law
And now I ain't got time to think, yeah

Keep movin', she's comin'
Keep on movin', oh, keep on runnin'
Keep on movin', son
Keep on movin', oh, she's comin'
Keep on movin'

Oh, you better look out
Come on, run

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough to send her half insane

Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots
And take a long, long drive
I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

And I'm oh, so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest some time
So I can get to run some more, yeah

Keep movin', keep movin'
Oh, she's comin', keep on movin'
Oh, you better look out

I'm on the run, gotta move
Keep on movin', keep on movin', son

Thank you

I'm A Man
Now when I was a little boy bout the age of five
I had something in my pocket, keep a lot of folks alive
But I'm a man, now - I'm age twenty-one
Tell all you women you know we're gonna have a lotta fun
I'm a man now, I spell M, A, N

Gonna make love all the time
Cos I'm a man now

I tell you, baby, you don't do me no wrong
Cos I treat you bad

Tell all you women don't do me no wrong, now
No, I'm a man

Dogs
The first time we met you were a kennel maid
You gave me a tip, I got me four cards paid
You were holding the greyhound in trap number one
Your white coat was shining in the afternoon sun

Now we're both together
We're never gonna break apart, no, no
Cos we're a happy couple you and me
With a greyhound at either knee

I'll have ten shillings to win on Camera Flash, young man
What dog's that? 
It's, it's a Duke's dog innit

There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
Cept in you, little darling
Cept in you, little darling
We're a happy couple you and me
With a greyhound at either knee

We go to the dog track on Saturday nights
We put all our money on a dog that we like
A kiss and a cuddle and off we hide
Two dollar tickets and a starry sky

There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer
Cept in you, little darling
Cept in you, little darling
We're a happy couple you and me
With a baby on either knee

Yes it's you, little darling
Yes it's you, little darling
Now it's you, little darling
Now it's you

Yeah, where's me wage packet already
I'll put twenty-five knicker please on Gallop Printer
Oh, I hope the wife don't find out
Yes, it's sure to win, isn't it
Yes, I know, it's a good dog, I saw it run at White City
Just last week, broke the record, Gallop Printer
Nice dog, yes, lovely form, lovely buttocks

Circles (Revised Version)
Circles, my head is going round in circles
My mind is caught up in a whirlpool dragging me down
Time will tell if I'll take the homeward track
Dizziness will make my feet walk back, walk on back to you

Everything I do, I think of you
No matter how I try, I can't get by
Circles, leading me back to you

Round and around and around and around and around
And around and around and around and around

Just one thing could kill the pain of losin' you
But it gets me so dizzy that I walk right back again, back to you

Time will tell if I'll take the homeward track
Dizziness will make my feet walk back, walk on back to you

Down and down and down in the pool I go
Round and round and round like a fool I go, dragging me down
Back to Song List


The Last Time
Well, I told you once and I told you twice
But you never listen to my advice
You don't try very hard to please me
With what you know it should come easy

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time - I don't know
Oh no, oh no

But I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
Feelin' like I do today
Too much pain and too much sorrow
I guess I'll feel the same tomorrow

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time - I don't know
Oh no, oh no

This could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time - I don't know
Oh no, oh no

I told you once and I told you twice
Someone will have to pay the price
Here's the chance to change your mind
Cos I'll be gone a long, long time

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time - I don't know
Oh no, oh no

Maybe the last time, maybe the last time
Maybe the last time, maybe the last time
Maybe the last time

Water
The foreman over there hates the gang
The poor people on the farms get it so rough
Truck drivers drive like a devil
The policemen, they're acting so tough
They need water - good water
They need water
And I'm sure there isn't one of us here
Who'd say no to somebody's daughter
No, no, no, no, no

The foreman over there hates the gang
The poor people on the farms get it so rough
Truck drivers drive like a devil
The policemen, they're acting so tough
They need water - good water
They need water and maybe somebody's daughter

Indian Lake is burning', New York's skyline is hazy
The River Thames is turning dry, the whole world is blazin'
We need water - yeah, good water
Ooh, we need water
And maybe somebody's daughter

Gimme, gimme good water
Gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Gimme good water
Please don't refuse me mister
I seen your daughter at the oasis and I'm beginning to blister

My Chevrolet just made steam
Your crop is laying foul
My grass skirt's lost its green
I'm alive but I don't know how
I need water - good, good water
They need water

Gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Gimme, gimme, gimme good water
Come on, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme water
Yeah, water
Come on, come on, give me water

Heatwave (Original Version)
Whenever I'm with you something inside - something inside
Starts to burn deep and my heart's filled with fire
Could be that I'm very sentimental
Is this just the way love's supposed to be
I got a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, tearin' me apart

Whenever she calls my name, yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain
I feel, yeah, I feel, yeah, I feel this burning flame
Yeah, this high blood pressure got a hold on me
Cos this just the way love's supposed to be
Got a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, you're tearin' me apart

Sometimes I see her face and it's all over the place
Can't explain it or understand it, I ain't never been this way before
Yeah, this really strong feelin' got me in a maze
My head's in a whirl and my mind's in a haze
Got a heatwave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, tearin' me apart

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, woo
