I'm tired out, my head is aching I wanna shout, but I feel I'm goin' nowhere Yeah, I feel I'm goin' nowhere I've run about in a fit of madness To work it out in the hope of goin' somewhere Yeah I hope I'm goin' somewhere
And I know it must be time for me making up my mind Does it matter if I'm fine? It'll change my tune in time If I'm really goin' nowhere
I'm better now, I've thought about it Can't figure out, but I'm looking for it somewhere All I know is that it's somewhere It's closer now than I've ever had it Much closer now, so I must be getting somewhere Yeah, I hope I'm getting somewhere
'Cos you never know, in time with the changing of my mind I could turn around and say that was just another day Am I really goin' nowhere?
I've run about in a fit of madness To work it out in the hope of goin' somewhere Yeah I hope I'm goin' somewhere
'Cos you never know, in time with the changing of my mind I could turn around and say that was just another day
On a train to nowhere in another nightmare In a dream about falling for someone and taking her back to my room Tangled up in her hair And believing everything goes and then anything more is allright
On a road to somewhere, where it goes I don't care But it keeps on winding and winding and winding away Sitting next to me are Lovely senoritas, reality way in the back of my mind
I'm under the influence, I find it's all in my mind And under the influence the blind will lead the blind Thunder and lightning in my head, but only in bed I'm under the influence of something from the blue
When I wake a new day, on a better do day But the dreams keep calling and calling and calling me back Definitely no no Need a new amigo to help me get my reality right
I'm under the influence, I find it's all in my mind And under the influence the blind will lead the blind Thunder and lightning in my head, but only in bed I'm under the influence of something from the blue
What the hell will I do? Facing up to tell you Will I be breaking the ice and falling through? Definitely no no Need a new amigo to help me get my reality right
I'm under the influence, I find it's all in my mind And under the influence the blind will lead the blind Thunder and lightning in my head, but only in bed I'm under the influence of something from the blue

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for Mean, mean, mean, mean girl She said I was the first but there were many more

I had another drink after another drink and then I tried to crawl to the door I had another smoke after another joke and then I couldn't take any more It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone tried to tell me for sure I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream I read a word or two about everything I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go away And the times that I tried are the times that I find they don't show today But you make me feel so good
I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, and waiting to be carried away I woke up once again, a little after ten, will things be any better today It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, well someone tried to tell me I'm sure I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today But you make me feel so good
I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule, and see if I get carried away I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again, don't listen what the people might say It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, well someone tried to tell me for sure I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today But you make me feel so good

I left my home one day for the sake of better pay In a foreign land twelve centuries back in time Where the sun keeps pouring down on the holes down in the ground And I dream of the girl I left behind
Well I signed on the dotted line and I thought in a few years time I'd be home and we could start a brand new life But everything went wrong and I just don't know how long They will make me stay to pay for my crime And I wish I was
Rollin' home, rollin' home Home to the place I long to be Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home There's someone waiting there for me
There's a law that rules this land that I just didn't understand I didn't know that I was doing wrong But they don't seem to care and they'll do it when they're over there But here you face the justice of their God And I wish I was
Rollin' home, rollin' home Home to the place I long to be Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home There's someone waiting there for me
All the money that I saved to pay for better days Just can't make up for how I miss you so There's no consolation prize but when I close my eyes I'm dreaming of you in our new home And I wish I was
Rollin' home, rollin' home Home to the place I long to be Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home There's someone waiting there for me
Rollin' home, rollin' home Home to the place I long to be Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home There's someone waiting there for me
What's a boy to do when fate is cruel? Keep on keepin' on, try to bend the rules I'll do anything to find a way to your heart Got a rabbit's foot but luck don't come Got my fingers crossed but they go numb I can hold my breath and wish for you I need a miracle to make it through
Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
I was sweet on you, that's how I felt Got a butter heart, you made it melt Like a big eyed kid in a candy store I had a little sugar, now I want some more
Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
You are my destiny, you Bring out the best in me, you You made me feel so lucky So lucky to have you And I need you, yeah I need you
Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world You can't remember when you got your last meal And you don't know just how a woman feels You didn't know what rock n' roll was Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus I got there in the nick of time Before he got his hands across your state line
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet You didn't know how rock n' roll looked Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group Half-way home in the parking lot By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat Can't give you home for messin' around My best friend told me you're the best lick in town You didn't know that rock n' roll burned So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned You got the rhythm, you got the speed Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy
I see that look on your face I see that look on your face I see that look on your face, oh-oh-oh
The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run S.T.'s showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking I'm just feeling like a boy Now I just can't slow down, gotta get in, go down Have my share of what a joy
Now I've got your name and number, I like to look upon your face And now you know that I wanna take you, give me the time you can name the place Call me honey, you can take my money, baby we can make a deal I really mean it, gotta get between it, do you know the way I feel? Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a way to make you understand Oh I know you're lying and your love I'm buying Oh I'm feeling like a man
The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run S.T.'s showing, really got them going, you can even say the price They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it if you really treat them nice But I'd rather take you, show that I can make you Good enough for just one man Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a Way to make you understand
Once upon a time not so very long ago There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear Nobody cared about the colour of his hair Everybody came to see and let the good times roll
Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock Time didn't matter never living by the clock Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time But still the people came to listen to the good times roll
Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

There's nothing left, there's nothing right There's nothing left, right, left, right, up, down, up, down, up, down
You wind me up, you bring me down Your reputation is all over the town So long as you come home to me I ain't complaining You fool around, we scream and fight The way you're treating me you know it ain't right But when you're making out with me I ain't complaining
It ain't no use playing it loose And thinking it don't matter to me It ain't fair at all, you only have to call my name And I'll come running to you
You're out all night, you sleep all day When I get home you're going out to play Oh woman give me some time, and everything's fine I ain't complaining You just don't care we're in a mess And the company you keep ain't the best But when you're lying there with me I ain't complaining
It ain't no use playing it loose And thinking it don't matter to me It ain't fair at all, you only have to call my name And I'll come running to you But when the chips are down A man can only take so much foolin' around And if you don't come home to me I'll be complaining
There's nothing left, there's nothing right Our situation ain't looking too bright 'Cos I've taken all I'm gonna take Without complaining

There's nobody on the end of my line I'm in time but somebody's missing Maybe I can find a hand for my hand If I find a well for my wishing Be my friend, be my friend
It gets lonely on a table for two Laughing on your own can be no fun Even people that are talking to you Remind you that you're really with no-one Be my friend, be my friend
Take me over like a thing from the past Lots of people wishing they'd been there No-one knowing just how long it would last But I'm sitting still here in my chair Be my friend, be my friend
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care Problems halved are the problems that we can share White lies in our eyes, together not really there
Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me Though it's taken a long time for you to see Where we're at is the right place for us to be
I sure want to stay here, it sure feels fine I feel I could be here a long long time Now that I've made it, I don't want to fade it Now that I've made it with you
We came a long way, a slow way too Up from the down way and back to you Now that I've made it I don't want to fade it Now that I've made it with you
