1. _ Love Is The Thing
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
In the end
Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
In the end
Love, love, love
Love takes you back
To the first love you had
Remembering
They say you can't forget
Your first taste of love
Memories
Love, love, love
Love is the thing
It always comes back to love
Don't try pretend
Love is the thing
That brings you closer to a friend
Don't try pretend

2. _ Star
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
I was jiving along in my big cadillac
Saw a thumb going up, i said driver go back
Played her a track from my latest lp
Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me
She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights
Giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said i don't know you i just can't understand
I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway
I was trying to be nice but i'm not into that
I usually make it without any chat
She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said come on baby, i'm ready to go
I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway
She said drop me off here and to my surprise
You wouldn't believe it, it was beverly drive
Some sort of commotion, what's happening here
We've arrived at her premiere, i shouldn't be here
She's a star, yeah
She's a star, i didn't know it
She's a star anyway

3. _ My Island
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Sailing on a summer breeze, going back to my island
Nearly done my time, my life will be mine once again
The distant past so far behind and i hope there hasn't been many changes
'cos i haven't seen my island for such a long time
Oh oh oh oh, i want to breathe the air that's free
Oh oh oh oh, i want to feel the warm sand beneath my feet
And the sun on my face, yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Couldn't say goodbye through no fault of mine to my loved ones
But sent a message through from my first port of call
I was pressed into time by the men from the line
They didn't tell me where i was going
And i haven't seen my island in such a long time
Oh oh oh oh, i've sailed upon the seven seas
Oh oh oh oh, you wouldn't believe the things i've seen
When i get home i'll tell you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Verse 2
Verse 1
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

4. _ Narida
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Na na na na narida
Na na na na narida
Sweet narida backstreeta, no one can beat her at her own game
Joe minnesota owed her, didn't pay, ended up on a different plane
So don't mess around with sweet narida
'cos you know no one's gonna beat her
Narida
Sweet narida backstreeta, queen of the avenue girls
Climbed the ladder of success doing
What she knew best have you seen her
Walking down the street in her hoochie-koochie sway
All heads turn, eyes seeing, can't believe it
Knowing what the guys would like to say
But no chance
Narida
Chorus
Hard-headed woman, business-minded, very strong
Self-administrator, didn't take her very long
And i can't blame her turning out the way she did
I can't blame her turning out the way she did
Narida
Sweet narida backstreeta is just gonna carry on
Listening to the whys and wherefores, shepherdess to her flock
So don't mess around with sweet narida
'cos you know no one can beat her
Narida
Chorus

5. _ Write On
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Write on, even though there's no one listening to your songs
Write on
Shine on, get it together, let your light break through
Shine on, baby, shine on
Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone
Come on, come on, come on
Write on, for your fame and fortune will follow you, coming on strong
Coming on strong
Don't feel bad 'cos the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long til you're going out and slayin' 'em
Shine on
You're not the first, you won't be the last
To feel the frustration of a musical fast
Write on, baby, write on
Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling
Rock on, rock on
Find a man with a van, a back up band
Who'll give you a hand on your one night stand
Rock on, baby, rock on
Give 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swayin in motion to a rhythmic potion
Rock on, baby, rock on
Music freaks and all those hustlers
Hangers on, trying to make a con
Rock on
Don't sign on the line til you know it's all fine
It's your life baby, you got to give it time
Rock on, baby, rock on

6. _ Stranger
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Down down down town, east side of the river
Bowery boys are living off the street
There stands a stranger all dressed in black
He's looking for someone - he's gonna knife 'em in the back
Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia
Sneaky pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos
He's got something to hide
Danger, there's a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, there's a danger
Don't come across nobody hard
So tough mixing it rough down in harlem
There's no honky boys for miles around
But there's that stranger all dressed in white
He's looking for someone
He's gonna show 'em the light, yeah
He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah
Don't feel safe using the face of fifth avenue
Pin stripe suits ain't no disguise if you're not a man that's true
Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia
Sneaky pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos
He's got something to hide

7. _ I Won't Move Over
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Say what you want, think what you like
You won't persuade me
My flame will keep on burning i know it's not over
My eyes don't see, my ears don't hear
All those stories
Going in circles, circulating
That it's over
She gave to me, i gave to her
A token of our love
On the understanding that we'd give them back
As a message that we're through
I still got mine and i ain't go hers
That's how i know for sure
No need to say no more
I don't wanna hear no more
Your move was a loser and she won't forget
How you used her
Oh, i know she'll refuse you
You're a two-timing loser
And i won't move over
Verse 3
Verse 4
Say what you want and think what you like
You won't persuade me
My flame keeps on burning and i won't move over
My eyes don't see, my ears don't hear
All those stories
Going in circles

8. _ There's Always Goodbye
(richards)
Ever since that first night
When i gave my love to you
Everything seemed so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And i tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because i know
No matter how hard i try
No matter how hard i try
There's always goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
And i tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But there's nothing to be said
And if you said you want to sing
I know you'd soon be on your way
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
There's always goodbye
So here we stand, you and i
You are too kind and i'm too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we played
Chorus
No matter how hard i try
No matter how hard i try
There's always goodbye
There's always goodbye
(repeat)

9. _ Crocodile Woman (she Bites)
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Keep away from that hard-looking woman
Don't be fooled by her crocodile smile
She uses charm like a witch casting bad spells
You can't see what i can see for miles
I know she'll leave you with no self-respect
Builds you up only to destroy you
It'll happen at a time you won't expect
Don't let her leave you 'reject'
Sly girl, good timer, she's just a social climber
She bites
Entice, so nice, but you have to pay the price
She bites
She'll take away everything that you've got
Leaving you cold when you think things are hot
Bad kind, no good, making up her own rules
Be on your guard, boy, if she loses her cool
Chorus x2
Verse 1
Chorus x2
She bites, she bites, she bites

10. _ Sweet Country Calling
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Going down to take a ride on the rock island line
I'm gonna meet an old friend of mine
It's gonna be a fine ride if only i can hide
From the man who guards the freighting line
I've got two thousand miles to go where i want to be
Lady luck stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there
Oh, sweet country calling, calling me its way
Come and bathe in cool clear waters, wash the city dirt away
Oh, sweet country calling, i've got something to say
When i get back to you, i won't let you down
This time i'm gonna stay
I wanna hear, hear the bluegrass
I wanna breathe in the mountain air
I gotta take in all that moonshine
But most of all i wanna see a friend of mine
Last time i saw her she was waving me goodbye
Heading on down the line
She said come on along, i decided to stay
Now i know i was wrong
That's why i'm playing with fate riding this freight
Lady luck please stay with me
I wanna be there
I gotta be there
Chorus x2
