1. _ 70's Scenario
In bed sittin' and reading by the t. v. light
Stay away from the window, thunder and lighting
And the rain, the rain keeps fallin' down
That's something that hasn't changed
Yeah, there's something inside me, it's quiet when it rains
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no easy living, everybody knows
And it's all around us........
70's scenario
She called me a prisoner, in a prison of the mass
She said acceptance from the future, is freedom from the past
And i laugh, and say "that's alright"
Things really ain't that tough
As long as i'm still able, to turn the t.v. off
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no reason living, everybody knows
And it's all around us........
70's scenario
At the end of the rainbow, there ain't no pot of gold
And the light in the morning, hardly ever shows
Ain't no reason living, everybody knows
And it's all around us........

2. _ Can't Stop The Music
He's the star of the stage, and he screams all night
'cause he can't get to sleep at all
And his favorite book, by the t.v. light, can't stop the matinee,
He's played it over and over
He can't stop the music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
All those hard-earned words, that he's fought from his pen
Have been forgotten in some empty hall
And the wide-eyed looks, on those wiped-out faces
Make some dreams in such places over and over
He can't stop the music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Wouldn't believe your ears, if he told you what the papers use to say
But that was in his hey-day
Back in his prime he had the fans in line
You should have seen him then, now look at him
His hair is getting thin
There's one last show before the glory ends
There in the wings, waits his only friend,
The record that he prayed to over and over
He can't stop the music, or remember the ending to his song
He played it much too long
Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
Then we go like this, and we go like that,
Can't stop the music
Then we go like this, and we go like that (music)
Then we go like this and we go like that.

3. _ War Baby Son Of Zorro
He's a war baby son of zorro
He's a war baby son of zorro
War baby
Been through momma, the bomb and 'nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a worn baby, born in '45
He's a torn baby, but he's still alive
Ate puffed wheat, x-rayed his feet
Scared baby, ain't in the atomic age
War baby
Water ice, sleeveless fights, despot, i know, yes, i know
Angel eyes, simoniz, yes, i know
He's a scared baby, afraid of a plane
Hid under his desk in a hundred air raids, scared baby
Dug in dirt, watched wyatt earp, in the atomic age
Led three lives, commie spies, holy joe, holy joe
Go marines, cloverine, yes, i know, yes, i know
He's a war baby son of zorro
He's a war baby son of zorro
War baby
Been through momma, the bomb and 'nam
He's a war, he's a war
He's a war
He's a war baby
He's a war, he's a war baby
He's a war, a war baby.

4. _ Better Watch Your Back
Oh, living the life of a madman's wife, has got to be unreal
'cause she's got to hold on to ground control
While jack does what he feels
Well he stays away, and then he comes home
And he never knows where he's been
Jack blasts downtown then he's over the line,
And then he's a kid again
Jack said" it's hard living in a dream, and it's hard
Always giving in to me"
*his wife saw jack in a crowd of boys and he was talking against
The man
She saw the guys getting dangerous eyes, and she knew it
Was never or then
So she ran on back an d said to jack " jack, jack i wouldn't do that,
If you're gonna continue to give your opinion, you'd better
Watch your back"
Oh, jack said "you'd better watch your back"
Said "you'd better watch your back"
Said "you'd better watch your back"
*said "you'd better watch your back, oh, jack
Had knock down dream, then he saw the man.
And thought he'd save the day
Jack gave roar, made for the door, he'd go to church and pray
Say jackie, religion and you, ain't mixed well in the past
Remember when you smashed your fist on the eucharist,
Threw up in high mass?
It's hard always giving in to me
* repeat*
Oh, jack you'd better watch your back", oh, jack, oh jack,
Oh, jack........

5. _ Johnny Gore And The 'c' Eaters
Oh baby, you know you missed the fight
(he's a trouble maker, he's a trouble man)
Alligator wrecked the bar last night
(he's a trouble maker, he's a trouble man)
I guess he had fun, to some people fun is a drag
Gathers lady had to hitch a ride
(she's a trouble lady, to a trouble man)
She got picked up by some guys in some band
You'd never believe what they did to a fan
They found a 'c' on her back, and a lead guitar strap in her hand
"arrive down on n.t.c. in a blue ford van, wanted for the connection of the
Murder of a man"
Go johnny, do what you want to do
"hey, hey, blue. i here this johnny's band is red hot"
"alright let's check him out"
Go johnny, do what you want to do
So go, johnny
"don't you know i'm a man" (go, go, johnny)
*1-85 thru' the south land (johnny)
"and my fingers are cold, but my managers tan, so watch out"
(go, go johnny)
"on the road in a dangerous van" ( go, go, johnny)
Watch 'em burn thru the south land
With my axe in my hand, watch out , for
*johnny gore and the 'c' eaters band
"holy jesus, look at 'gator up there, he's got johnny gore on
Stage by his hair"
"come on guys, give the gators a hand. i paid two dollars
Just to see this ba, ba, band"
"and i ain't gonna let no loser, put the screw on the show"
"so give us a hand 'gators crazy you know"!
Go johnny, do what you want to do
"hey man, someone throw this dude out of here"
"don't give a damn about his old lady"
Go johnny, do what you want to do
So go johnny
"hey baby, don't you know i'm a man"!
So go johnny

6. _ You're Much Too Soon
Can't find the reason to stay with you
And by now a reason should appear
Anybody else could understand my fear
That, you're much too soon
Much too much
You're much too much, too soon
You're much too soon
Don't think i'm blown away, by what i am
It's just a job, that keeps me traveling
One thing i've learned is how to take my time
You're much too soon
Much too much
You're much too much, too soon
You're much too much too soon
Don't get heavy babe
You've only known me for a week
Got to keep it steady baby, steady baby
Ooh, got to keep it real
Anything that i could say
Everything that i've been saying
All comes down to that same old thing
That i love you
But, i don't "love" you
I love you
But, i don't "love" you
Let it go, let it go, let it go, now baby
I know, i know you baby
Let it go, let it go, let it go, now baby
I know, i know you baby
Let it go, let it go, let it go, now baby
I know, i know you baby...........

7. _ Is It A Star
Is it a star, or is it me
You say you believe in
And the nights
When my stage smiles not so wild, and ain't coming easy
Can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
Can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
Can't you see it's me
Honey, you've been dreaming
Then they'll meet you on the streets, and say they've had
A crush on you, for a year or two, maybe three
And they say "hi, how you doing", but is it really me, or you,
You say you believe in
Baby, you've been dreaming
Can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
*can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
Can't you see it's me
All broken down inside
Can't you see it's me
*all broken down inside
Baby, you've been dreaming
You see it's me
Is it a star, or is it me
You say you believe in
And all of the nights
When my stage smile lasts awhile, coming easy
*repeat

8. _ I'm Watching You (a Mutant Romance)
Well it's ten o'clock
Jewel jewel, and it's time to see you
Scan around the block
Oh, you jewel in the monitor screen
I can usually find you near 42nd and 8th
A whore in a doorway (yeah)
I think i've found you jewel, wit my t.v. beam
You know it's funny, the light in the night,
Does something to your face
And the way you look, reminds me of a girl i used to want
In junior high
The smile on your lips, and the shape of your hips,
Excites me, and it makes me want to touch you
You're a whore for sure, but that's o.k.
Because i'm nothing, just another dirty spy with a t.v. eye
I can't stand it when you find a man, i wonder what he's sayin'
Does he tell you about his wife and kids at home?
Is he like me?
The one whose watching you in the night, in the night
Watching you in the night, in the night, in the night
Well you're back on the street, and i can love you
As a man can love a woman
And you know i'm here, but you think of me as a steel
Machine
But, i'm watching you, all night
And, i'm watching you, all night long
I'm watching you, all night
I'm watching you, all night long
I'm watching you, all night ........

9. _ Screaming Through December
What a crew we made up there was faustus
Burnt out from playing too many bars, on a jersey shore
And sammy, almost bald from ironing her hair too much
Back in '64
And me and phazon out of phase, of least my temporary
Name for the day
Oh, blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming
All blown away and screaming thru' december
We crossed state lines we were burning
Although the cold could freeze your hand, to the steel
Of the wheel
Miami, just a cold hearted word
From a warm smiling man on a sign in a field
We laughed just o take up some time my (hmmm) job
Was staring to dry, and we went screaming thru' december
"quasar, quasar", where the first words i heard from faustas
All day
And giggling he apologized and then returned to flicking
His blade
I sighed bleary-eyed, and tried to remember the way, as we
Went screaming
A year does go by what a difference, twelve months can make when you're living a
Hundred years in one
And sammy, she went home and now she's living in a room with
A gun
Faustas ate glass for an appetizer, and bled all over his synthesizer
As he went screaming
As he went screaming
As he went screaming thru' december

10. _ Beanie G. And The Rose Tattoo
Come here talkin', like a schoolboy fool
Cute and rotten
Ooh, beanie g. and your rose tattoo
Keep on rockin' like the geator say (keep on)
White clogs knockin'
Oh, oh, oh, beanie g. wonder can you play?
Don't be no punk, don't be no candy ass
Don't flunk the test, then expect to pass
Don't understand, and yet afraid to ask
So why you wanna waste your time?
Rose guitar bleeding on your arm
Day-glo farm boy
Oh, beanie g. with your rose tattoo
Oh, beanie g.
Just tell me, where you learnt to rock 'n' roll
You got your licks, but you forgot your soul
You play real hot, but you leave me cold
So why do you wanna, waste my time?
Listen g. boy, better get in line, g.boy
And it's a long one, 'cause the gigs are hard to find
Beanie g. and the rose tattoo
Oh, beanie g. ( g. boy)
Oh, beanie g. ( keep on )
Oh, beanie g. ( g. boy ).
