Bend Me, Shape Me

You're the only woman I need and baby you know it
You can make this beggar a king, a clown or a poet
'Cause I got nothing to hi-ide, just a piece of li...ine

Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
You got the power to turn on the light

Everybody tells me I'm wrong, to want you so badly
But there's a force driving me on, I'll follow it gladly

So let them laugh, I don't care-are
All I want is you by my si...ide

Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me anyway you want me
But you got the power to turn on the light

Everybody tells me I'm wrong, to want you so badly
But there's a force driving me on, I'll follow it gladly

So let them laugh, I don't care-are
All I want is you by my si...ide

Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it's all right

Audience:
Bend me, shape me anyway you want me
You got the power to turn on the light
Hey! louder
Bend me, shape me anyway you want me
Long as you love me

Gin House Blues

Stay away from me, yeah, 'cause I'm in my sin
Stay away everybody 'cause I'm in my sin
If this joint is raided, somebody give me some gin
Lord, I don't want no gold
I don't even want no bed to lay my head
I don't want no gold
And I don't even want no bed to lay my head
Fill me with good liquor and I will truly stay
Lord, we are feeling high
And I got nothing else to do then leave my head
Well, I'm feeling high
Lord, I ain't got nothing else to do but leave my head
If this joint is raided, somebody give me some gin

Somebody give me some gin
Somebody give me some gin
Somebody give me some gin
Ooh, I want some gin

If Paradise Is Half As Nice

If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to, who needs paradise, I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars but I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cos I know it's worth a heaven on earth for me where you are.
A look from your eyes, a touch of your hand and I seem to fly to some other land
When you are around my heart always pounds, just like a brass band
If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to, who needs paradise, I'd rather have you
Oh yes, I'd rather have you

If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to, who needs paradise, I'd rather have you
Oh yes, I'd rather have you

They say paradise is up in the stars but I needn't sigh because it's so far
(If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to)
'Cos I know it's worth a heaven on earth to me where you are
(Who needs paradise, I'd rather have you)
A look from your eyes a touch of your hand and I seem to fly to some other land
(If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to)

Always Changing Probably

I wanted to follow you
Down to your well-furnished cave
And to laugh at your art
I wanted to tell you the truth
But I'm always afraid
That you'll be torn apart
Oh, say the word
And I'll tell you you're wrong
Oh, say the word
I've been waiting too long
But when you talk
There's nothing to hear
I'm always changing
You're too far or too near
I wanted to tell her the truth
But I'm always afraid it's not in her heart
I wanted to say how I felt
But I'm always afraid
That she'll stop when I start
Oh, say the word
When we're there at her home
Oh, say the word
'cause I don't want to be alone
But when she talks
She's all that I hear
How can I help it
You are always too near

Way Away

Line of people to pass you by
Posing sympathy with it's whitewash eyes
With the ladies feigning their mourning cries
And the men shaking hands:
Weigh away
Way away
All the pictures in your mind
As you're passed the thousandth time
Thousandth photograph
Listen to sympathetic lies
As their reasons change under mourning guise
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
And drinking champagne:
Weigh away
Way away
As all the people pass and pose
You hold back the tears
And hold onto memories
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
An urge to run away from the crowd
And mourn all alone:
Make a promise to no-one
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
Turn away from the chatter
And the hungry smiles

Scenes From A Vinyl Recliner

High on a wire
Poised for an imminent fall
Clowns always smile
Greasepaint and lust in their pores
Start to sway and I hold your hand
Fall, the smile surrounds his head
Hot ashes, clay
Hot ashes fade
To lean, to err, too far along for me
To wait around, to smile is to accept
In center ring
Rolling in sawdust and hay
Covered in paint
Damn everything but the circus
Damn the men and the women who stare
At the freaks in the cages and snares
Hot ashes, clay
Hot ashes fade
To win, to err, to fall too far for safety
To lean, to wait a while is too easy
To lean towards, to fall too far for me
To wait a while around is too easy
To lean too long, to fall too far for safety
To seem to smile, to lie is to accept

Get Back

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

(spoken) Get back Jo!

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can

(spoken) Get back Loretta
Your mother's waiting for you
Wearing her high-heel shoes
And her low-neck sweater
Get on home Loretta
