Restless Life
03:54

Its a restless life I lead
A restless life indeed
always moving from town to town
People love you
People put you down
Got a restless life
Got a restless life
From the cities and the halls they call your name
You get seduced by the idea of fame
Go looking for things that you don't need
Like comfort and a little luxury
Got a restless life
Got a restless life
Met a girl out on a west coast town
She said honey I love you come on settle down
Raise a family
But its a restless life I lead
A restless life indeed
Always moving from town to town
People love you people put you down
Got a restless life
Got a restless life

Consumer Blues

Its a dollar down and a dollar a day
You could spend your life away
rocking and rolling in 3/4 time
with boogie woogie on your mind
Keep spending all your money but it don't get better now
Keep spending all your money but it don't get better now
Consumer Blues
Out in the city tonight
Over the harbour there's peace in the bay
Everybody's got something to say
Keep spending all your money but it don't get better now
Keep spending all your money but it don't get better now
Consumer Blues
Out on the flat land plains
all the people there going quite insane
working 40 hours 40 years
nothing to show but worry and fear
Keep spending all your money but it don't get better now
Keep spending all your money but it don't get better now
Consumer Blues
Your credit card it makes you a star
get a bigger limit but it won't go far
I'm living like 1949
cash in hand

In the Morning
04:35
|
|||
|
A cup a cry some chatter
spill the warmth from your breast
spill your tales without conscience
you can make it my expense
in the morning
the autumn skies are crying
in the morning
the mist will rise up dawning
while the suns still yawning
In the morning I'll be on my way
My memory wanders
down a distant mining town
I was sleeping on the outskirts
just trying to turn my days around
in the morning
the distant shores are calling
in the morning
in the morning
while the suns still yawning
In the morning I'll be on my way
But a friend only leaves you to help you find your way
and cowboys they just kick stones at things that they don't know
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning I'll be on my way
You know a writers hand it not a fighter makes
But a writer has a fighters heart
and lovers they wear both these rings
In the morning
I'll kiss you while you're sleeping
In the morning
I'll share my darkest secret
In the morning
I'll pick the flower blooming
In the morning
I'l be on my way

Stole That Promise
04:55
|
|||
|
the trains don't stop at my station
no the trains they don't roll down my track
I'm a man with no destination
since you stole, stole that promise, stole it away
it was you always calling me up
saying float with me, you can swim in my skin
through sleepless nights, we'll find better days
and then you stole, stole that promise , stole it away
so kiss me with your whispers wash me with a tear
kiss me with your whispers, wash me with a tear
the tide it has risen now it must fall
since you stole, stole that promise , stole it away

Where Have You Gone
04:23
|
|||
|
The lights are all on, nobody's home
I'm sick and tired of waking up alone
to the smell of your memory and the waste of the past
how long how long can this nightmare last
where have you gone
I've been looking everywhere
where have you gone
My friends are all dying
dying or they are dead
I'm sick of goodbyes that never got said
So its one more drink
One last cigarette
where have you gone
where have you gone
I've been looking everywhere
where have you gone
where have you gone
where have you gone
I've been looking everywhere
where have you gone
seen too many sunsets
seen too many dawns
and too many roads and they just lead me on
where have you gone
where have you gone
I've been looking everywhere
where have you gone
where have you gone
where have you gone
I've been looking everywhere
where have you gone

Waiting for my time to come
hoping you are I we're one
where I see a light upon the hill
hope and faith are with us still
So if it's an empty life you're living
sing songs and I'll be giving
three flowers, three wishes, three drops of blood
Far from an everlasting sky
you can see it from the corner of your eye
If its time alone you're breathing
find something to believe in
three flowers, three wishes, three drops of blood
you're love lights shining
like a new born baby crying
I hear it , I feel it
your love light lies with me tonight
So don't be the one who's waiting
or spend a lifetime hesitating
three flowers three wishes three drops of blood
hear , hear your memory call
you can read it
it's like a writing on the wall
If it's an empty life you're living
sing songs and I'll be giving
three flowers, three wishes, three drops of blood
you're love lights shining
like a new born baby crying
I hear it , I feel it
your love light lies with me tonight

Prisoner and the Dove
04:34
|
|||
|
Islands, oceans and me
and i'm drifting oh can't you see
all your late night calls
your wailing walls
I'm haunted by your love
poisoned by your touch
its crazy but not enough
for the prisoner and the dove
rich man sighs poor man cries
and you played every little scene
and then the well ran dry
I'm haunted by your love
poisoned by your touch
its crazy but not enough
for the prisoner and the dove
Come on break me I need a little, shake me
i'm only living by myself
got no time for nobody else
wake me , break me
I'm a little chi;d, I'm a child, I'm a child
I'm a little child
Haunted by your love
poisoned by your touch
its crazy but not enough
for the prisoner and the dove

Twilight Train
03:37
|
|||
|
Ticking on a twilight train
ticking through the pouring rain
we're headed for the wilderness
goodbye venus and your concrete dress
Into the canyons the engines roar
all the sights and sounds you've felt before
she's pitching she's reeling and everybody's screaming
on this twilight train
we go down
in love with our conviction
no strangers to addiction
and every morning
i ride that train
steel my heart into the rhythm, wheels turn round again
clouds are floating through you
blue and grey above you
and every morning
i ride that train
steel my heart into the rhythm, wheels turn round again
I love that train, the sound she makes
all stops heading out to nowhere
here we go round again
ticking on a twilight train

There's a silence in my room
and a darkness we all now
and a care goes out to you from a boy, this boy
there's a thing that we all hear
when the wind gets blowing and the tide is on the move
keep going on the move
and there is a mile of nowhere
don't feel like the only living person in the world tonight
don't feel like the only living person in the world tonight
and there is a place for us all
and there is a prayer that goes unanswered, it goes unanswered
don't feel like the only living person in the world tonight
don't feel like the only living person in the world tonight
and a house waits for a painter to call
a car runs and then it don't run no more
but trees grow and babies scream
until they learn to talk
on the move
keep going now

Falling toward the Light
04:35
|
|||
|
Caught the last train home tonight
stayed out late to make things right
been a little trouble on the home front
that ain't nothing that w can't fight
like a cat up a tree
with a dog down below
all stitched up and nowhere to go
but I can fly
and I'll keep on
falling toward the light
Met a man up on a mountain top
said he know what christ looked like
I say nobody has touched his hand
like the way he's kissed this earth
like a cat up a tree
with a dog down below
all stitched up and nowhere to go
but I can fly
and I'll keep on
falling toward the light
falling, falling
falling toward the light
