1.LAUNDROMAT

What do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
if you should pass you should drop my bag

but I don't have no clothes to clean
to put inside the machine
but it was the craziest place I have ever been

oh, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me right through to the end(twice)

say I told you so
maybe bad times come and go
you don't know that right now well then you'll never know

what do you think of that
I'm on the street like an old straycat
if you should look for me you'd know exactly where to go

oh, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me to the end, put me to the end

what do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
if you should pass by drop right in

but I don't have no clothes to clean
to put inside the machine
It was the craziest place I have ever been

well, come around and meet my friends
they'll be there with me right through to the end(twice)

2.JUST THE SMILE

Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
Could warm up the room and set fire to the place
Yes it could, you know it could
Now the fog is clinging all over the town
put one foot in front, then you might just fall down -
on the ground. She's in town
Like the rain that is falling all over the land
She cools down my mind when she touches my hand
Feels so good yes so good
Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
it could warm up the room and set fire to the place
yes it could, you know it could

3.I FALL APART

Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine
that you call my heart
oh, but baby is it so hard
to tell the two apart
and so slowly you unwind me
'til I fall apart

I'm only living for the hour
that I see your face
when that happens I don't
wanna be no other place
'til the end of time
you'll be on my mind

I don't mind waiting for your love
for of time I've got plenty of
rain or shine please bring out your love
make it shine like the stars above

I'm only living for the moment
when I hear your voice
oh, I'm waiting
I don't have any choice
and the day is long
so won't you come where you should be

like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine
that you call my heart
oh baby, is it so hard
to tell the two apart
and so slowly you unwind it
'til I fall apart

4.WAVE MYSELF GOODBYE

Well I don't know anymore
I don't know why I feel so sore
I only know I love you more
I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye
The people say you fade away
>From my mind you wouldn't stay
But you get stronger there everyday
You know I feel so alone I think I'll wave myself goodbye
This time next time it's all the same
I'll just go on playin a losin game
Until one day baby Iīll even forget your name
Someday someday
It takes a fool too long to see
Canīt make out the wood for the trees
I must have been blind as I could be
But now I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye
Well I don't know anymore
I've lost you for sure
I only know I want you more
I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye

5.HANDS UP

Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playin
You won't feel the same I'm betting now
Get up you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasin
Think of all the time you're wastin now
My world is upside down
My inside is inside out
I'm hangin to a leaf that's shakin
Thatīs hangin to a branch that's breakin off now
Go out into the night
Left to the sky
Youīll walk out the shoes you're wearin
Might even lose your blues, no tellin now
 

6.SINNER BOY

City streets and rolling cars
the only sound you can hear
but you know you might be wrong
just look right over here
back up against the wall
hands on the bottle
you're gonna walk on by
but then he crys you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta..

take that sinner boy home
wrap him up, keep him warm
he won't do you no harm
take him home right away
he's got no place to stay
let him walk right inside your home

go on and ask him his name
let him try to explain
what the world done him wrong
tell the man, lift him up
take away the paper cup
one more inside him won't do him no good
sinner boy

take that sinner boy home
wrap him up, keep him warm
he won't do you no harm
take him home right away
he's got no place to stay
let him walk right inside your home

take that sinner boy home
wrap him up, keep him warm
he won't do you no harm
 

7.FOR THE LAST TIME

You've done me wrong for the last time
you've sung your song, now I've gone and do sing mine
out loud, so loud like the (..)

you've played around for the last time
you've shown your claws, now I've gone and do show mine
watch out, I feel about in the night

you went around since the very first day
you've had your moment now I'm gonna have my play
so long, I'll be gone in the night

you've put me down for the very last time
I hit the floor but I got up on the count of night
good bye, don't cry when I'm gone
 

8.IT'S YOU

When the days begin to climb on me
and I begin to feel that I can't please
there's only one thing I can do
call on the one who pulls me through
that is you, yeah you

when I'm lost in some old lonely town
and there ain't no sound of you around
a voice comes whispering through my ear
and I can almost feel you here
so near, so near

when the nights begin to drag me down
and there ain't nobody else around
there's only one place I must be
close to you, you close to me
to me, to me

when the days begin to climb on me
and I begin to feel that I can't please
there's only one thing I can do
call on the one who pulls me through
that is you, yeah you
call on the one who pulls me through
that is you, yeah you
 

9.I'M NOT SURPRISED

I'm not surprised you didn't take the time to write me
I'm not surprised you didn't take the time to call
but baby, you know it really shook me
when, baby, I heard you're not coming back at all

I'm not surprised you didn't stop the thing about me
I'm not surprised you let me vanish from your mind
but baby, you know it overtook me
when my friend said you're gonna leave me here behind

why must it be, why must it be
why must it be, why must it be

I'm not surprised you started out without me
I'm not surprised you even stopped to care
but baby, if you must desert me
when you go don't talk about me when I'm not there
  
 

10.CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TRUE

Can't believe it's true, I can't believe it's true
baby where are you, baby where are you

in the night I'm walking in my sleep
a lonely man who just can't get no peace
oh how I wish I just could see your face
then I would wipe the floor place by place

clock on the wall, why do you bother to chime at all
clock on the wall, why does this have to happen at all

in the day I'm walking on the street
hear the sound, steps walking after me
that's just trouble, follow with me about
that is one thing I can't do without

clock on the wall, why do you bother to chime at all
spot on the wall, did I really see it moving at all

can't believe it's true, I can't believe it's true
I wonder where are you, I wonder where are you

and in the night I'm talking in my sleep
the things I say I just can't repeat
don't need no fingerprints to know
you've got your hands on my very soul

clock on the wall, why do you bother to chime at all
clock on the wall, why does this have to happen at all
