Nuclear Nightclub
That day was bright and sunny
Seemed to me
With eagles wheeling overhead
And that train was moving on
Had to get to that Nuclear Nightclub
'Fore I's dead is what I said
Get to that Nuclear Nightclub 'fore I's dead
I'd said goodbye to moma
And goodbye to pa
And packed my bags from under the bed
And that train was moving on
I had to get to that Nuclear Nightclub
'Fore I's dad is what I said
Get to that Nuclear Nightclub 'fore I's dead
Had to get to that Nuclear Nightclub
'Fore I's dead and gone and old and grey
Had to get to that Nuclear Nightclub
'Fore I's dead and gone and old and grey
Standing at the station holding you
I remember you were dressed in red
And that train was moving on
Had to get to that Nuclear Nightclub
'Fore I's dead, that's what I said
Get to that Nuclear Nightclub 'fore I's dead
Get to say, Don't worry
I'll work it out
Never really knowin' what I'd said
And that train was moving on
Had to get to that Nuclear Nightclub
'Fore I's dead and gone
Get to that Nuclear Nightclub 'fore I's dead
Had to get to that...
Got to get to that...
Freddie Are You Ready
Taking me home to my love one's side
Home, oh yeah
And do I ever need her
And do I ever need her lovin'
Do I need it, yes indeed
Oh, I got a problem
Think I know what's wrong
I think I picked it up in old Finnspång
You take a slice or two
It'll make you sigh
And just a second while I kiss this guy
Inhibition, well you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie
None of my friends treat me mean
Hoping you know to change that scene
Freddie are you ready
Taking me home to my...
Oh, I got a problem
And I don't know why
I think I picked it up in old Shanghai
You take a slice or two
It'll make you sigh
And just a minute while I kiss this guy
Inhibition, well...
Now that I treat my friends so mean
Hoping you know to change that scene
Oh, I got a problem
And I don't know why
I think I picked it up in old Shanghai
You take a slice or two
It'll make you sigh
And just a second while I slapp this guy
Inhibition, well...
None of my friends...
Freddie are you ready
Taking me home to my...
Do I ever need her
Do I ever need her loving
Bless Your Lucky Stars
Hey your depressions is the lack of love
So bless your lucky stars
Hey man the question is: Is someone's lack
of his love such a burden
Kite
Pine you so lonesome sighs
As murmured questions rise in line
And weave their voices and entwine
As breezes their disguise
Willow cast your silent souls
I see them ride on every beam
Spirit from the forest team
And reassume their roles
No wind, no light
No sun in sight
Love hold me tight
I'll fly my kite
No wind, no light...
Spiders roam you jeweless nets
Empty void of morning's haul
Where diamonds hung now missin' all
With the thief, that sun who sets
Willow cast your silent souls
I see them ride on every beam
And spirit from the forest team
Reassume your roles
Do Or Die
You know, my love, you know
I can't wait no longer
Ain't no joke and I tell you no lie
You know my love for you just
Goes from strong to stronger
Just a case of do or die
It's do or die
(repeated twice with slight variations)
Simple Human Kindness
Oh, holy Moses and sweet Madonna
Where's that simple human kindness
My story closes and I'm a goner
Where's the truth in all this blindness
Come so far to find
There's still so long to go
Oh, let it all hang down
Do-do-do do-do-do
Let's just have a touch of that brain there
Do-do-do do-do-do
This rat race pace ain't gonna go nowhere
And I'll shout it and I'll scream it
Where's that simple human kindness
Guided missiles and jungle warfare
Disabled babies with no mothers
Do-do-do...
Get yer hair cut, get crew cut, get a suit
Get a white shirt, get a job, be respectable
Get a good shave, get a shoe line, manicure
Elocution lessons and be acceptable
"Be a success, life and soul of the party,
be educated and popular, body building
course and you can kick the sand right
back in their faces!"
Get yer a hair cut...
"Be a success, play guitar, be happy, like
everybody and everybody will like you!
Kick the sand right back in their faces!"
Oh, holy Moses and sweet Madonna...
Where's that simple human kindness? Won't you tell me, brother?
Save My Money And Name
Hey diddle do, the cat played the fiddle
And the cow jumped over the moon
No kid, I swear that they did
Couldn't get to you too soon
You know, I've got to beg you
Save my money and name
Oh, never leave me
Hot'n'dog, then you treat me like a hog
Just about to make you swoon
No kid, you know that you did
Still couldn't get to you too soon
You know, I've got to...
Ooh, rock-a-bye baby
Ooh, on the tree top
'Cause when the wind blows
The cradle will rock
The cradle will rock
Ooh, rock-a-bye baby
Ooh, don't ever stop
'Cause when your love goes
When your love goes
The cradle will drop
The cradle will drop
Hey diddle do, the cat...
You know, I've got to...
Ooh, rock-a-bye...
(repeats with slight variations)
