(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Wheat, Luccketta)

You had it right in the palm of your hand, right before your eyes
Now it's gone and you don't understand, you've got to realize

There comes a time when you've got to let things go as fast as they come
Wait and see what tomorrow may bring you, get it all while you can

Sometimes it just feels so right, and other times so wrong
Every new day it brings on the night, the change goes on and on and on and on

It never stops, no it keeps on rollin', wiped away like an [arch of] sand
Here it comes, there it goes, always changin' ends

Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, that's what they call it
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh no!

[Solo]

Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh, you know that's what they call it
Ez come ez go, ez come ez go, oh whoa!

Talk of let go when it took so long to get, it's [how the lovin' goes]

I'm a mean machine, I'm the kind you don't wanna meet
My middle name is trouble, I'm a danger in the street
My motor's in overdrive, I got my pedal to the floor
Never get enough, always comin' back for more - yeah yeah

Here I come, better step aside
Here I come, I'm comin' atcha live, comin' atcha live

I'm the one you want, I never give a warning twice
Anything could happen like the rollin' of the dice - now!

Here I come, you better step aside
Here I come, comin' atcha live

Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - oh here I come

Come on!

Comin' at you live - I'm comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - comin' atcha live
Comin' at you live - oh here I come
Comin' at you live - step aside, oh step aside

Ow! Ow! Oh yeah, here I come - here I come

(Keith, Luccketta, Hannon)

Every day, yeah yeah, I wait till the morning light
Ooh with a feeling, yeah yeah, something here ain't right
When I think about it now, oh baby, ooh
When I think about all the good times we had
I knew there was something wrong, there was no chance for me and you

Oh now, now I try to tell you baby, there ain't nothing we can do
'Cos I'm no good for you, oh no baby, you're no good for me

Now it's been so long, so long, since the last time I've seen your face
I tell ya, there ain't nobody baby, in this whole wide world
Who could ever take your place, no way, oh no

Now I try to tell you baby, there ain't nothing we can do
'Cos I'm no good for you, no baby, you're no good for me
Oh, what I'm tryin' to say is, we're no good together

You know we can't go on, we can't go on together, no, oh baby
Honey we can't go on, we can't go on this way, baby, oh yeah
Listen to me, oh listen to me, I got something to say, I got something to say
I say that we're no good together, we're no good together
Now what's going round, you're all over town, and you're bringin' me down

[Solo]

Oh baby, we're no good together, we're no good together
We're no good together

Oh baby baby baby babe you know it's just no good
Oh it's no good together, oh oh, no good together

Stormy night under jet black skies
Billy pulls into town.
Thunder rolled and the lightnin bolts
come crashin to the ground
Cold as ice, hard as stone
As he walks into the room, with
Another man who was feelin the same way
All hell breakin loose

Bang Bang, shoot'em up
Bang Bang, blow you away

It's a showdown, in a no-man's land
For the cowboy of the modern day.
Come on, sundown, don't be hangin 'round,
'Cause the cowboy will blow you away

Al Capone and A Bad Boy Jones
On the wrong side of the law.
Johnny D and his company,
Always first to the draw.
Gangster lean, feelin so mean,
Tryin to take more than their share.
Cause all they saw was ruling it all.
The scent of blood was in the air.

Bang Bang, shoot'em up.
Bang Bang, blow you away.

It's a showdown, in a no-man's land
For a cowboy of the modern day.
Come on, sundown, don't be hangin round,
'Cause the cowboy will blow you away. yeah.

Solo

Here we are and we've come this far,
But it's only getting worse.
The foreign lands with their terrorist demands,
Only cause the good to hurt.

The USA the USSR, with their six guns to their sides.
I see the message written on the wall,
Too much anger deep inside.

Bang Bang, Shoot'em up
Bang Bang, Blow you away.

It's a showdown, in a no-man's land
For the cowboy of the modern day.
Come on, sundown, dont be hangin round,
'Cause the cowboy will blow you away

repeat

It's a showdown

Changes, times making changes in my life.
Rearranging, always changing.
Can't seem to stop the hands of time.
I remember, I was so young.
I was much too young to see.
Now I'm older, growing older.
And I see things differently.
Oh, can't you see,
it's changing you and me.

Times makin' changes, times makin' changes in my life.
Times rearranging, changing you and me.

Faces, strange faces cloud my mind.
Empty traces, make it hard forme to find.
Somewhere in the distance,
is there someone who awaits?
For that moment I am taken,
over by the hands of fate.
Can't you see?
The world is changing me.

Times makin' changes, times makin' changes in my life.
Times rearranging, changing you and me.

Nothing ever stays the same.
It's always gonna change.
I'm on my way,
yeah yeah.

Changes, times makin' changes in my life, times makin' changes in my life.
Rearranging, always changing.
Can't seem to stop the hands of time.
Can't you see?
It's changing everything.

Times makin' changes, times makin' changes in my life.
Times rearranging, changing you and me.

All these changes.

Little Suzi's on the up, looking for a get-away
Ruby tries to bring her down, she's looking for another way
Little Suzi's on the up, heading for the spotlights
Ruby finally gets up, lookin' for some quiet nights

And the music makes her feel so hot
Oooh, and she'll smile for the camera with all she's got
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true

Little Suzi's on the up

Little Suzi's on the up, now suddenly it's not a game
Rubys got to give up cause Suzi's plainly set on pain
Little Suzi's on the up, casting couch appointments made.
Rubys gonna hang around to make sure Suzi's okay

And the music makes her feel so hot
And she'll smile for the camera with all she's got
Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true

Don't bring her down, she's a lot like you
She'll be richer by far if her dreams come true

Little Suzi's on the up

(Keith, Hannon)

Looks so good, from her head to feet
[Body English tights and] to me so so sweet
Got a perfect ten, there ain't no doubt
She's the kind of girl you dream about

[Chorus:]
You know she's got it - she's got everything
She knows you want it - oh but you'll never get a thing
Ooh what you're doin', baby what she's doin' to me
I'm head over heels, for that cover queen

Dressed to kill, this ain't no game
[Checkin' care of bitch 'cos] needs a life of fame
And everywhere she goes, she's the talk, she's the talk of the town
She keeps it clean, but still gets around

[Chorus]

Ooh, head over heels for the cover queen, ohh

[Solo]

Hey there cover queen, you know the time will come
Where you're not laughin', neither one
'Cos the pretty smile will have a brandnew face
Will come along to take your place

You know she's got it, now she's got everything
You know you want it, oh but you'll never get a thing
Ooh what you're doin', baby what she's doin' to me
I'm head over heels, head over heels, for that cover queen

[Solo]

Oh every time I look at you, all I wanna do is get next to you
I see your face in a magazine, the best lookin' bitch that I've ever seen
I'm in love

(Keith, Skeoch, Hannon, Luccketta)

She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized, I'm surrounded by her
I can't, I can't forget that face, and I will, I will go back to that place

She stands before my eyes, right before my eyes

I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I hear the words, I feal the sound, going round in my head
But I know there's something out there, please tell me, is this reality

Right before my eyes, right before my eyes

[Solo]

She comes on softly as she moves across the room before me
I can't resist, I'm hypnotized
I can see the colours are coming one after another for me
I see an image of myself

Before my eyes, right before my eyes
Before my eyes, before my eyes

That was nice, whoo! Typical nice, right Philadelphia? Right?
Yeah, I mean, you know (can you turn on the air conditioning, please?)
Can you turn on the air conditioner, please? It's fuckin' hot!
Turn on the air conditioner, or these people are gonna kill you!
Wait a minute, here. Oh! Oh, hey! (Oh, hey, we got a...)
Oh, Brian, you tried to give this play bass, didn't you, oh, hell no
Let's go jam a little Ebony and Ivory

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the... well, we don't know that song

But, anyway, right, we got mr. Brian Wheat...
Thank you, that's just what I was... oh, and old Ted Tulsa hat
Well shit, goddamn, hell-puh - alright!
And anyway, we got mr. Brian Wheat on the piano for ya on this one and
It's a tune of our second album (hit it!)
Hit it
