Accident Prone
Williams / Hutchins

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

They say the devil loves his own
And lady you just got the roll
He drives you modus-operandi
Well lady you don't get this soul
What you call love I can't take no more
Go knock on someone else's door

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

I try to love you my way
But lady you just wouldn't slow down
You drove a right on through me
When other guys came around
What you call love wouldn't give to a stray
I wouldn't treat a dog that way

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
I just wanna say you keep driving that way
And one day you will be undone

One day you'll have to slow down
And lady it could be too late
You keep on acceleratin'
And lady I could see your fate
No-one wants a second-hand car
They know it been push too far

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

'Cos you specialise your own kind of lies
Lady you just hit and run
You're draggin'me down with this riding around
And one day you will be undone

I'm a lay-by lover
And you're just another
Who just wants to hit and run
Now your on your own
'Cos I'm accident prone
And I hope that you have your fun

Analyse Time
Rossi / Bown

I still remember when I would be the only one
I used to think that I'd be a darlin' boy
Never worried 'bout bad times, only wanted those good times

And then it took a nasty turn and you became the strangest one
And now I look back, I didn't help at all
Falling over my own feet, always taking that back seat, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? So talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again

We had our bad days but never thought that we would fall
Into the same trap that other people do
We were gonna be perfect, we were gonna be magic

Before we knew it there were cracks appearing in the photograph
It was a time bomb, a-ticking all the while
We were gonna be lovers, now we're running for cover, oh no

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? So talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?

Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

We gotta put it on the straight and narrow 'fore we fall apart
We gotta get down and do it on our own
Never worried 'bout bad times, always looking at good times, good times

Hold on, it's analyse time again
What's wrong? So talk it out with a friend
How long before you want me again?
Calm down and get your feet on the ground
Come round, we're on the same side of town
Fall down, d'you want to call it an end
Hold on, it's analyse time again

Yeah, analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again
It's analyse time again

Backwater
Parfitt / Lancaster

Down at Backwater junction
Rolling down the line
In the dark early morning
I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway
Needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me
And she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry
Down the backwater road

In a house on the corner
looking over the track
I woke up with a fever
And a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me
My fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling
But the lady said no
The lover needs a doctor
Down the Backwater Road

Whatcha' lookin' for
Whatcha' lookin' for
Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong

Backwater doctor
You've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning
And I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady
But I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning
And she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me
Down the Backwater Road

Caroline
Rossi / Young

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love sweet love

If the night-time is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll

When I'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love sweet love

Do you still care when I'm not there
Do you really wish I was there
Can I come there for love sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll

Dirty Water
Rossi / Young

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
Beacuse it's dirty dirty water
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Many's the times I've asked you to say
Why do you feel so bad day to day
Could it be you're wrong
To push yourself along
I say it's not a guess
You make yourself a mess
And get yourself in deeper water

Why do you think it's all wrong for you
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby it's allright
To stay out ev'ry night
If I could change your mind
I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughta

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
And if I could then I'd come in
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
Beacuse it's dirty dirty water
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, why do you think it's all wrong for you
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby it's allright
To stay out ev'ry night
If I could change your mind
I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughta

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
If I could then I'd come in
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
Beacuse it's dirty dirty water

Oh, oh, oh, oh
The water's getting deep
And I can't swim
Beacuse it's dirty dirty water

Rossi / Young

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing
And you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing
Stop your messing with me

In The Army Now
Bolland / Bolland

A vacation in a forreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Little Dreamer
Rossi / Frost

You're a dreamer
A pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
I couldn't beat the fever

Just listen while I'm talking to you
All night long
Right or wrong
Listen to me all night long
I'm never gonna waste time crying
All night long
Right or wrong
I won't be crying all night long

You're a dreamer
A purty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
I couldn't beat the fever

You're a dreamer
A purty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
I couldn't beat the fever

I've waited long enough I reckon
On my own
Tried to phone
Tried to phone, but you're not home
I'm thinking while I try and reason
what went wrong
Something's gone
Ain't no good in hanging on

You're a dreamer
A purty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you
I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I got the fever
A fever for the dreamer
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
A fever for the dreamer
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever
A fever for the dreamer

You didn't gimme gimme
You didn't gimme gimme
You didn't gimme gimme

Marguerita Time
Rossi / Frost

Captured my heart
Captured my memory
Captured a time for me
I could see
A time for me
Is gonna be

Deep in my heart
Deep in my memory
Deep in a part of me
Heart of me
Meant to be history
Could it be that I'm still wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Picture a dream
Picture a fantasy
Picture a mood of me
Mystery you and me a mystery

Lost in a dream
Lost in a fantasy
Lost in what seemed to be
Dreams to be
Seemed to be
Had to be
Couldn't find no other reason

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Lets have a drink
It's Marguerita time
It's Marguerita time
After nine
Summer time
Any time
You'll still always find me wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Paper Plane
Rossi / Young

Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realised my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly

Riding on a long blue paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the foglifts, make it clearer
Then I realised my paperplane
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my papeplane

Riding in a three grand Deutche car
A to B is often very far
Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
Then I realised my Deutche car
Is only there to get me somewhere
Even so I really do care
Would you like to ride my Deutche car

Pictures Of Matchstick Men
Rossi

When I look up to the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window

Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction now
When will this haunting stop?
Your face it just won't leave me alone

Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

You're in the sky and with the sky
You make men cry, you lie
You're in the sky and with the sky
You make men cry, you lie

Pictures of matchstick men and
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Pictures of matchstick men ....

Rollin' Home
David

I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burning down
On the hole drilled in the ground
And I dream of the girl I left behind

Well I signed the dotted line
And I thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we can 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, 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 all do it when they're over there
But here your face is justice of their god

And I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

All the money that I've saved
To pay for better days
Just can't make up for how I miss you so
There's no consolation prize
Oh, 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, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me

Young Pretender
Rossi / Frost

You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
Again too late I realise
The reasons now I find, conditions at the time
Did not allow for you to be

So don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream

Now love can really be so warm and tender
And can be oh so very nice
But not that way I said, too late too soon you said
Too soon, you said, too late to soon

So don't you worry
I've got it all under control
Take time don't worry
I'm only halfway through a dream

You thought that I would be so warm and tender
That love could be so very nice
I made a call to find suspicion on the line
Why couldn't you be all
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
A young pretender, be a young pretender
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
A young pretender, be a young pretender
I thought you wouldn't be a young pretender
A young pretender, be a young pretender..
