Get Up 03:58
Get Up Well you're fighting with your fate everyday They're crazy - that's all you can say You're just bored of all that stuff Look at you - you seem to have enough You're caught in your own bloody trap You don't notice that your TV's telling you crap You're just bored of all that stuff Look at you - you seem to have enough You're jerking off each other everyday You better bear this thought in mind let me say Your time's up if you don't change And all you gotta do is rearrange All you need is to look inside you Listen what your heart is telling you to do Get up for yourself and do your thing Be just who you are and you will win

It's A Go 04:46
It's A Go Say you wanna sell our values Are you kidding? get us out of here Next time you might sell yourself to the bone Let's hit it - get us out of here Someday you wake up all alone Don't you ask me then 'cause it's not my problem See someday you look and check it's gone With that crazy feeling, you know it's leaving With what you sold You say you don't know, I say I don't mind I say it's ago, you say it's not right Would you tell me how it felt to grow That constrained? get us out of here No materials could weight up what we had When we were one, but I got no fear You say you don't know, I say I don't mind I say it's ago, you say it's not right

It Ain't Easy Now you're lost in the rain tonight You're down and out and really tired I didn't mean to treat you so bad I couldn't see what you tried me to show I didn't understand just who you were I couldn't see where we were going I never meant to do you any harm I didn't mean to treat you so bad I'm sorry baby but now it's too late One of us had to go It ain't really easy babe takin' that way But I can't change what I feel It ain't really easy babe going that way But I can't change what I feel
4.
Blue Mood 03:51
Blue Mood I'm in a blue mood it's taking me down But when we're together It's already done, already done I'm blaming yesterda but yesterday's gone This feeling's forever It's already done, already done We know the tide is high, life ain't yet It's like you said this is all that you get A sleeping dog you wake from a nightmare instead You got a rush of blood to your head The story's told when I look in your eyes They're kinda like tombstones This feeling is wrong, it's feeling so wrong Does anybody else here 's feeling like me Has anybody else got this sensibility I knew all along you're taking it on What makes you think you're right, so so sad Straight to your head this is all that you get A sleeping dog you wake from a nightmare instead You pay your sunshine two days ahead

Living The Blues (Without You) I'm living the blues- without you 500 - miles I have to come through I come back and stay 'cause I'm loving you I catch that train - up to you Wheels are rollin' tell you it's true I have been walking 'round and 'round Couldn't even see the ground Babe your love is turning me on Babe your love is turning me on If not for you - I'd have the blues If not for you - I'd have to muse I come back and stay 'cause I'm loving you I catch that train - up to you Wheels are rollin' tell you it's true I have been walking 'round and 'round Couldn't even see the ground Babe your love is turning me on Babe your love is turning me on
6.
State Of You And I Yes it was, you should remind it It's a cross with you and me Hurt my wounds, open up wider Close before they seemed to heal Kneel in dust and dirt before you All the good things have its price It won't work whatever we do So why the hell can't my heart stop trying? Close your eyes, no one can see you Cross your arms to every try What the hell you think we're at here? This won't change the state of you and I So come around, let's check the details What is gone has gone, get gone But we can handle this together take my hand, I take yours and hold me in your arms tonight Close your eyes, you still can see me It's the same with you and I I can't change, you can't change, we can't change this state where you and I unite
7.
Angelina 02:55
Angelina I guess you're fooling around I know there's someone else around You're not the same you seemed to be You were coming home last night And what you told me didn't fit You seem to think that I'm a fool Angelina - you're no good for me now Angelina - you're doing wrong I know what's going on You're tricking me that's what I found I hate to hear you telling lies You can go your own way I don't weep for you, be sure my dear Just leave me and I'm feeling free Angelina - you're no good for me now Angelina - you're doing wrong

Lost Dogs 02:32
Lost Dogs It's nearly 8 years ago The last time that we met Since that time we both change a lot And I'd like to see you yet So listen to my story folks This one's to lost dogs I called your number on the phone The one I got from then But someone else was answering And asked me who I am I told'em this old story folks Said I'm searching for the lost dogs Oh and I'm hanging on On to a wiped out trail I follow Oh and it won't be long Now that I started searching lost dogs bluried pathes There's someone on the phone today Asked for an unknown name I told'em:"Sorry, I don't know. But dude I know that game. So tell me what's inside your box." The story of lost dogs

Touch Of Fate Tell me a story of truth and hurt Of one of those stories that's worth listening to Tell it gently, use your words carefully But telling this old story to me I was standing at the crossroads don't know which way to go But something pushed me somewhere so I choosed my flow This touch of fate grew to a storm And guided me my way home As I walked the road I followed on the track that's meant for me I dared to look to the other side and curiously A person on the track is confused and I see And we asked ourselves does that need to be Then maybe two years later I called you on the phone I was drunk and I was nervous and I bet you were not home But you lift up the reciever and I blamed myself to you But I'm glad I did this call and told the story to you And I told you this old story although you won't listening to And I told you about my suffering but it meant nothing to you But I'm lighten up this load I do it bit by bit Although you don't notice it So see I really don't care of what you think to me And your words make it much easier than you thought it would be And someday you will regret this and ask me how I feel And you may ask me for something real So I tell you this old story of thruth and hurt One of these stories and I dare you to listen to I will tell it gently and I use may words carefully And I tell you this old story to see

The Patient 03:33
The Patient Tell me doctor is there cure for The feelings that near me Is there any medicine to numb this old pain Tell me doc is there a point to remove what I'm feeling 'cause it hurts all the time So tell me doctor does it need to Remain such a long time Do you have some coloured pills to let go off my mind Brush away the tears And bring back the smile on my face now Make me stop crying because it feels like dying Can't you tell yourself a story from looking in my eyes Do I really need to tell you the whole story twice Do we have to zizzle up all these tiny small details I ain't telling no lies but I'll follow you advice Yes I'm trying to continue the walk I once followed But it's never always easy to stay on that track I sometimes seem to lose my faith in This slaved old direction and get lost instead So will you lend over your hand then And show me the bright side I know that it's always there But sometimes I walk blind Carry me to silent water and everyday sunshine Yeah make me feel fine And give me back what once was mine Hey doctor tell her that someday I might try to forgive her Tell her doctor it's the time that I learn to forget Tell her that I never come back And found a good lover And I don't regret what she and I once had
12.
Georgia 03:13
Georgia I got my woman down in Georgia So many miles from here (repeat) But I ain't got no money to take a ride down there She's the kind of a woman Who makes you feel like a man (repeat) Well I wish I could join her to feel her body next to mine I got for good luck her picture But it ain't enough for me (repeat) When I'm looking at my baby well I wish she was here Well I'm going down to Georgia To have my baby by my side (repeat) And I'm gonna be the one to make my baby feel right

Velvet Star 04:03

14.
Turn Again 03:42
Turn Again Tell me your trouble once to my ear I feel your sadness so come on near Turn, turn again What's up to your mind It's not too late to try it again You got the choice to be a man Nobody can make it but you Walk down the highway Just do it your way Ain't got another chance baby It's up to you and nobody else I know you as good as I'm knowing myself Don't you give up but help yourself Turn, turn again You know that you can Gaze down in the mirror and what do you see This guy's as strong as someone can be Turn, turn again It's up to you
