Bourbon Street Blues (Live) 02:40 video
lyrics
buy track
In the bar the Jazz Band is playing And the beatnik glory still survives The double bass slaps like a real cool cat Tie died bright and alive Well this boy he can sing and dance But his Rhythm is out of time He's a balladeer a poet and a cheat Singing blues on Bourbon Street. This is sunset sounds for the evening No sloppy joes boots or old shoes Its the hippest drop where they come to bop And the winners chose to lose Well this boy he can sing and dance But his rhythm is out of time He's a balladeer a poet and a cheat Singing blues on Bourbon Street.

Friends For a While (Live) 04:10 video
lyrics
buy track
You stepped off the train at the station You looked at me and gave me a smile Then we struck up conversation We were friends for a while I threw out my arms and hailed a taxi He drove us to a luxury hotel I booked us in at the reception We were friends for a while Your rooms this way Enjoy your stay The bed was big and versatile We drank some wine And dined in style We were friends for a while It was 5 o'clock when we departed You turned your head and waved to me goodbye I'd never felt so downhearted We were friends for a while What can I say Oh what a day Why did you leave me this way We drank some wine And dined in style We were friends for a while We were friends for a while We were friends for a while

Paint the Rocks (Live) 04:10 video
lyrics
buy track
Loneliness is a stripped back brass This thinking man has lost his rasp Its a comic book obsessive lie A supersonic raging hit She'd better get your snake bite kit Its a groovy mix of blown down crying She'll paint those rocks upon the shore So when the ships go sailing by They'll read the message from her heart Her love for you will never die Spin the wheel and spin it good Just like a low down loser should The spirit man still winks his eye A shooting girl with a flick knife tongue She wants to win but she tries to run And all the crazies call out her name She'll paint those rocks upon the shore So when the ships go sailing by They'll read the message from her heart Her love for you will never die

St Marys Street (Live) 04:18 video
lyrics
buy track
Rambling like a dreamer where the naked justice weeps Purple shadows keep on rolling and this freedom ain't so cheap There's electric ballads playing in missouri's and O'Neils tonight Cos its all going down All around this town People falling Down On St Mary's Street This freedom road's got barriers It's chow down in cafe jazz The big guns swigging whiskey Cos he's an excellent man And Jack the biscuit swings and sings the blues in old Mill Lane tonight Cos its all going down All around this town People falling Down On St Mary's Street And Charlie Brown is shooting out some vibes Whilst the desolation tribes they line the streets with all their lies This hip and crazy larger lounge Is kicking hard and lose The bunk house babes gone crazy Their applying drug abuse Lets catch some beams under the moon In the cafe quarter scene tonight Cos its all going down All around this town People falling Down On St Mary's Street

10 Dollars a Night (Live) 03:18 video
lyrics
buy track
For 10 Dollars a night She used to rent her light skinned body For 10 Dollars a night She used to dance to my best tune For 10 Dollars a night She used to tell me that she love me And for 50 cents more she would fly me to the moon She'd yell and scream and hollar She was dirty but so cheap I was 21 and in heaven She was in hell at 17 And the smell of death was with her It had come from where she'd been I just want her by my side Hear her scream all night Look into her devil eyes Just for 10 dollars a night They found her in a gutter A knife right through her heart Alone and cold and bleeding And the Policemen they just laughed 10 dollars by her side In the tears that she cried For 10 Dollars a night She used to rent her light skinned body For 10 Dollars a night She used to dance to my best tune For 10 Dollars a night She used to tell me that she love me And for 50 cents more she used to fly me to the moon For 10 dollars a night - repeat

Old Soldier Blues (Live) 04:01 video
lyrics
buy track
We watched this man Amongst the damned and the flies He was wrapped in a blanket Whilst his loneliness it cried His face was worn and thin His mind was torn and blind He was lost in the sea of death Drowning in its tide Fall asleep old soldier And dream of your last fight This is our song for your life

Same Damn Road (Live) 03:52 video
lyrics
buy track
Broken down on this lonely highway Nothing here except me and the rain A broken heart full of bad memories These are the scars you gave to me Flashing lights they're speeding past me I feel so alone inside Cos this is the road to my freedom This is the road to the rest of my life I've left you once,I've left you twice But I won't have to leave you again Cos this is the road to a better life It's down the same damn road that I came I light a cigarette and I wonder Will I ever find the girl of my dreams Shall I head on up to Chicago Or take a trip down to New Orleans What the hell does it matter I'll follow my heart into the night Cos this is the road to my freedom This is the road to the rest of my life. I've left you once,I've left you twice But I won't have to leave you again Cos this is the road to a better life It's down the same damn road that I came

Beautiful Friend (Live) 05:56 video
lyrics
buy track
You were wild and free Roamed the Onaqui You were the leader of your band A horse so proud and strong A spirit gift from god By your family you would stand We felt the pain When they took you away When will we see you again We felt the pain When they took you away When will we see you again Our beautiful friend Then they rounded you up Took you from your lands Left you all alone inside Captured by the BLM Corralled in a small pen They broke the spirit in your eye's We felt the pain When they took you away When will we see you again We felt the pain When they took you away When will we see you again Our beautiful friend Then they decided to set you free But without your family They watched you stand alone Cos they had broken your soul We felt the pain When they took you away When will we see you again Our beautiful friend Then we read That you were dead I guess they broke you in the end
