Thinking About Love 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Thinking about love Thinking about love Thinking about love Thinking about love And thinking about you Well now I went out to the grocery store I thought I saw you through that open door But it turned out to be just a girl That once knew She is mighty fine it's true But she'll only ever be half the woman of you And it got me thinking 'bout love And all it means I went up to the north east coast That's the place that it rains the most Like a fool I did not take me no coat Pretty soon I was wet to the skin But the thought of you made me warm again Just the same next time I'm gonna take me an umbrella

Bus To Hollywood 03:48
lyrics

Down and out I've been there Weeping every night Broken heart Soul despair Can't do nothing right Sorrows drowned On gilded streets Don't improve my mood Back on Desolation Street Things ain't looking good I should have took the bus to Hollywood And tried my luck in movie land Instead I wrote a letter to you Hoping you would understand And save me Vertigo in my head World is spinning round Got the blues Royal now I never been so down The fix is in The race is run Give my love to all Tried to raise my spirits But they gone off the boil

Postcards 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Colour supplementary Life is elementary Every day's a holiday Lived in a special way But I've heard of a mob Of working class yobs Who won't behave that way They send Postcards from the last resort Where the the heat is on And time is short Wishing that you were there With their backs against the wall Looking for signs of the fall Wishing it were you and not them They could live in ideal homes Spend all their weekends in Rome But they prefer to live in slums Wasting time with drinking chums There basically lazy And politically crazy But they prefer to live that way Our lifestyle is just simply divine It's just like the movies Occasional lapses of taste our only crime God we're so groovy! We've always been a little ahead of our time Ahead of our time

Blue 03:05
lyrics

It's a shame The way it's working out But I can't take Another day of doubt You say jump I can only say how high Broke the spell Now I am my own guy Say what you want I am out of here Truth to be told It should have been last year Say here's the rub It's all the things you do Everything you do makes me blue Get off your knees That ain't gonna work You did the deal You did the dirty work Love is blind But my sight has been restored Woman here's the thing I just can't take no more Ain't got the time To hear another thing Out of the day The only way I'll win I'll get my feet Into my running shoes Everything you do Makes me blue

Goodbye Claire 02:49
lyrics
buy track
She was such a pretty thing I her younger days Hair as red as a cornfield ablaze Eyes fierce and untamed She'd give us her good advice She'd say, wrap up in the cold You got your health, you got all that you need Just help the children and the old She'd give her last penny As poor as she was And when she died on a cold winters night I felt my heart turbot dust So this song is for you Claire Wherever you are I think you knew that I loved you so well Lord I miss you so much
