I like the smell of petrol
I love the taste of booze
But I hate my love for you
Yeah I hate my love for you

I like Johnny Cash
Singing "A Boy Named Sue"
But I hate my love for you

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you

We've been, going together
Too long to be vague
When there's something to say
If it's not now, then it's never
So I'll say it straight out
'Cos I have no doubt, no doubt

Let's get married

Yesterday arrived too quickly
Caught me right off guard
My defence moved in too slowly
Missed it by a yard
I'd just settled down
With a bottle of gin
So I moved on to whiskey
And it hit me again

Her parents are of low wit
But she's brighter than them, She's brighter than them
Spills her words like a poet
She's brighter than them, She's brighter than them

All the men I know agree
She's the finest thing you'll see
But they don't really know it

Maybe if I just think out loud tonight
Then I'll know what to do
Five years all felt the same and then it changed
And I was loving you, better days for sure

Mary, our love still can bring violins
And roses to my mind
But I swear I haven't missed a moment of the life

I could tell the meaning of a word like serene
I got some 'O' Grades when I was sixteen
I can tell the difference between magarine and butter
I can say "Saskatchewan" without starting to stutter

But I can't understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand
I could get a broken jaw from being in a fight
I know its evening when day turns to night

She's changed her mind on everything
She's changed her mind on everything
She's changed her mind on everything
She's changed her mind on everything

Dear Deidre can you tell me
Where I'm going wrong
I'm following your advice

Your life is full of misery
Well take something for it
Or try to ignore it, don't give it to me
You trapped me in this corner
You're breathing it over me
Next stop's the Royal Infirmary

The room's started spinning

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, hey I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

Your heart's just missed another beat
The ground's still moving neath your feet
Your mouth is dry, your eyes are sore
There is nothing certain anymore

You thought that History was dead,
Well it's just whacked you on the head
It took your money, and you're right

Never met a girl could make me feel the way that you do.
(You're all right).
Whenever I'm asked what makes-a my dreams real, I tell em you do.
(You're outta sight).
Fe Fi Fo Fo Fum, look out baby 'cause here I come.

(Aaahh) Bringin' you a love that's true, Get ready, get ready
(Aaahh) Stop makin' love to you, Get ready, get ready.

His father's pride, his mother's joy
The end result of love, a beautiful little boy
You think he's perfect, and that he'll be
The answer to the disappointment that you feel in me

But he's just like me
You'll never own him
You won't control him

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today,
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today,
I'm on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday

If there's a God
Where does he go to
When disease and hunger
Knock on the door?

And if where's a God
How does He decide
What she'll be born rich

When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, hey, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

Saw a man who was fifty one
He had married daughters and a single son
And he's lost his job as this years begun
And I broke my heart

It broke my heart, it broke my heart
It broke my heart and I

I drove through the park and I searched all the bars
where I made out with love too many times

(Chorus)

It was always so easy to find and unhappy woman
till I started looking for mine
Some beer drinking devil is holding my angel

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes, ah but
Two hours of pushing broom buys an eight by twelve fourbit room,
I'm a man of means by no means, King of the Road

Third box car midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine,
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues, I smoke
Old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around,

When you go will you send back
A letter from America?
Take a look up the railtrack
From Miami to Canada
Broke off from my work the other day
I spent the evening thinking about
All the blood that flowed away
Across the ocean to the second chance

When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn’t need a thing,
I was strong as anything,
I viewed solitude as a joy
But since I met you I’m distraught
You wandered in and now I’m caught
I never thought I would see

I heard the rain
As it skipped and rolled down the pane
Sleep was almost here
But I stirred from not having you near

We were apart
For the first time since you'd claimed my heart
I said your name

Well I'm happy now
I don't need a drink to toast to our health
Now the sun is out
And the rain is falling somewhere else

There is misery somewhere
But I don't know and I don't care
Since you took it from my shoulders

Evidence of the new religion
I'll spare you the details
Effluent from a bloated business
With replica shirt sales.

Two for the kids, one for the wife
Indicating a stunted life
Didn't know gullibility was so rife?

I'd never been lucky with girls I confess
Don't know who to blame for my lack of success
Cause even with ones up the back of a bus
There was always the risk of a slap in the puss

But Jean, Oh Jean, You let me get lucky with you
Oh Jean, Oh Jean, You let me get lucky with you

This is the story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers
And the devil made her features
Threw up her hands when my mum said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims
It’s over and done with

This is the story of losing my virginity

Michael McGrory from west Donegal
You came to Glasgow with nothing at all
You fought the landlord then the Afrika korps
When you came to Glasgow with nothing at all

Abraham Caplan from Vilnius you came
You were heading for New York but Leith's where you've stayed
You built a great business which benefits all

It could be tomorrow, or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul,
The earth takes the clay.

It could be tomorrow, or it could be today
When the sky takes the soul,
The earth takes the clay.

My heart was broken, my heart was broken
SOrrow sorrow sorrow sorrow
My heart was broken, my heart was broken
You saw it, you claimed it
You touched it, you saved it

My tears are drying, my tears are drying
Thank you thank you thank you thank you

Sweet little girls
Cut a swathe through this world
Using skills that they get
From their mothers
Sweet little girls
Might like ribbons and curls
But they most like to torture their brothers

Then I Met You

Thought that I'd be happy

Going to be so happy

Living life alone and never sharing anything

There's no doubt about it now
Youth has gone
It shines upon some other brow
Not this one
Lends its air of carelessness
To another manly breast
Dolling out its confidence
To the bright and to the dense

I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's wearin' a frown
This Caledonian clown

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate

The time was twenty past
Our meeting was delayed i watched you move
Over Edinburgh concrete
I hid behind the wall and as you approached
I tried to guess at what you were thinking
Then memory, took me away
Two miles from here and three decades ago
Then all at once, so soon

Yes I know you're right
I see it in your fierce eyes
But me I've never thought straight
Since the day I had the first doubt

Yes I know you're right
And I'll back you to a point pal
But I'll never be constrained

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her

You've been let down, messed around
Told to get your feet back on the ground
When you should have been loved, loved, loved
Should have been loved
You've been ripped off, written off
Told an act of kindness made you soft
When you should have been loved, loved, loved
You should have been loved
