GHOST
STORY
Paice, Ashton, Lord
I was struttin' down the road
one very dark night
I was blown to the gills
and feeling right
the wind was howlin'
and the rain comin' down
but l was struttin'
My car broke down
on the other side of town
it started feelin weird
and began to slow down
heard a noise behind me
and I turned around
but there was nothin'
Absolutely nothin'
You know I'm not a man
with a superstitious mind
but on the other hand
I'm not the brave kind
l want to tell you now
I really get a fright
from things that go bump
in the night.
Can you believe it, conceive it
I thought I dreamed it
Can you believe it
Make no mistake
I kept on struttin'
Take
me home Mama
Take me home
Don't leave me here
Mama all alone
Hey Mama come and save me
from my head just wanna
be back home safe in bed
Then I really started struttin'
I mean I was really moving
Heart was
beating fast
my clothes were soaking wet
don't need to tell you
I was in a cold sweat
and then something started
breathing down my neck
and I was runnin'
Can you believe it, conceive it
I thought I dreamed it
Can you believe it
I just kept on runnin'
Take
me home Mama
Take me home
Donıt leave me here
Mama all alone
Hey Mama come and save me
from my head just wanna
be back home safe in bed please
REMEMBER
THE GOOD TIMES
Paice, Ashton, Lord, Martinez, Marsden
I can see love in your eyes
but you're no longer near me
I know that there's pain in your heart
but you no longer read me
I can see showers of rain
on that distant horizon
you've got your heartache and pain
but no shoulder to cry on
Heartache
pain in my head
crazy about you I cry instead
let's not break the attraction
we had from the moment we met
let's get back to some action
remember the good times forget
you were messing round
turned me upside down
Know I was wrong but you left me alone
In the morning drifted away and
neglected me without warning
Heartache pain in my head
crazy about you I cry instead
let's not break the attraction
we had from the moment we met
let's get back to some action
remember the good times forget
I was messing round turned you
upside down
I can see
love in your eyes
but you're no longer near me
I know that there's pain in your heart
but you no longer read me
Heartache
pain in my head
crazy about you I cry instead
lets not break the attraction
we had from the moment we met
lets get back to some action
remember the good times forget
we both messed around
turned it upside down
ARABELLA (OH TELL ME)
Ashton
Your chandeliers are tarnished
with the breath of seven ages
but you're standing
the passions and the secrets
and the pain and the beauty
deep within you
You're faceless and you're eyeless
and underneath that silence it's forbiddin'
you stand there like a statue of decay
who the hell do you think your kiddin'
tell
me of the nights
you've given shadows away
tell me of the hours
you've given warmth for pay
Arabella Arabella
Watch out
because there may be times
when angels come around and
they'll employ you
and you will find your purpose gone
and knowing this it will destroy you
tell me
of the nights
you've given shadows away
tell me of the hours
you've given warmth for pay
Arabella Arabella
SILAS
& JEROME
Paice, Ashton, Lord
Now dig this
I was grooving down the road
just the other day
I saw this little nubile thing
just passin' by my way
I said listen baby
I'm a rock and roll star
and I got some news for you
she turned around and looked at me
just like she come out of school
And she said
you're cool, I said that's true
she said, you're very cool man
I said, so are you baby
she said, what time do you play
cos I might just be able to stay
I thought I was beginnin' to get through
I smiled as I put my hand in my coat
and I said I'm the man for you
she looked at me with those big blue eyes
and she smoked a whole cigarette through
she said, which band do you
play for man
and I tried to clutch some air
I said, we are playin'
down the hall tonight
it'd be nice if you got it there
I thought
I was gettin'
on to somethin big
I said to all my friends
she's comin' down to the gig
So she come out back after the show
and her friends came with her too
one with a great big scar and one
from the local zoo
I said, hey baby
can't we go some place
just you and me alone
she said, this is my boyfriend
Silas man, and my big kid
brother Jerome
I said, Oh shame on you
I could not believe that it was true
but I suppose on the whole that's
rock and roll

ON
THE ROAD AGAIN, AGAIN
Paice, Ashton, Lord, Marsden
You get out of bed
examine your head
You don't know where ya are
until ya get in the car
You get on the plane
You have a little drink
keep yourself sane
Round
and Round
Town to town
One day you're up
the next you're so down
Another
Holiday Inn
And then ya shave your chin
Gotta get down we gotta go
And then it's back in the car
and on with the show
Round
and Round
Town to town
One day you're up
the next you're down
And then
after the show
You got nowhere to go
It drives you insane
So you have a little drink
And its back on the plane
Round
and round
Town to town
But that's just the way
You gotta play
SNEAKY
PRIVATE LEE
Paice, Ashton, Lord, Marsden
I'm Private Lee detective you can
see me on the big bad screen
I'm not clean, obscene, not anything
but the baddest you've ever seen
I'm a thorn in your side and a pain
in your hide and I'm mean
For anyone who pays me I'll walk in
and I'll screw up your scene
Sometimes
you'll find me in Milwaukee
L.A. Detroit, D.C. or New York
Even Boise, New Jersey or
someplace in downtown Orleans
There's
a guy inside who's serving time
he had the nerve to try and cut me
And another guy is holding up
super highway No.23
Make no mistake I'm no dreamer
I'm a wheeler, a dealer, and a schemer
peepin' creepin' sneakin' Private Lee
Sometimes
you'll find me in Milwaukee
L.A. Detroit, D.C. or New York
Even Boise, New Jersey or
someplace in downtown Orleans
When you
see me I might forgive you
if you think that I always make my kills
Private Lee he's not real
he only pays my rent in Beverly Hills
I'm your super cop on TV
don't want nobody talk to me
Just leave me be ...............
I'M GONNA STOP DRINKIN'
Paice, Ashton, Lord
I came 'round this morning
I was feelin' like hell
telephone exploded I went
Oh that bell
It sounded so loud in my head
I actually thought I was dead
Yeah, OK, Bye
Leave me be I'm
Gonna lay down and cry
I get this feelin'
every time that I'm dry
just hand me three fingers
and the longer, it lingers
I begin to feel high
All that
I need
is that friend in my hand
and I'm fine
Don't want no lemonade
first aid, no water or wine
All I need is spirit
Here's my glass
will you please fill it
Iım not gonna spill it
Just give
me time
to readjust me
why does no one seem
to trust me
well why don't you
come along if you like
and you can bust me
but all I want is spirit
here's my glass please fill it
don't worry I ain't gonna spill it
All that
I need
is that friend in my hand
and Im fine
All that
I need
is that friend in my hand
and I'm fine
Don't want no lemonade
first aid, no water or wine
so don't try to trick me
in to thinking I'm gonna
get better some day
all you gotta do is
give me that friend in my hand
and I'm gonna show you all the way
I'm gonna stop drinking
I know what your thinking
but I'm gonna stop drinking
........Some day
MALICE
IN WONDERLAND
Paice, Ashton, Lord
You've got yourself on
You've got yourself feelin' nice
it's rollin' out your fingers
and everythin' is cool as ice
you take it all for granted
and don'ıt you know that's not the way
I know your gonna regret it
some day some way
You're gonna find
you'll wonder why understand
big bad practice
Malice in Wonderland
I won't trouble you
now don't you trouble me
I don't want no part of
your big fat hierarchy
you are gonna realise
wake up and find one day
what ever you gave out
you're gonna have to pay
you're gonna find out
you're wonder why just understand
Malice in Wonderland
You don't
seem to know
wrong from right
I look at you and I lose
my appetite
You know your playin' around
with dynamite
I don't think your ever gonna
see the light
and you don't seem to understand
Malice in Wonderland
Just watch
that radar
and wash your linen through
Black man, white man
and maybe someone
just like you
wake up come alive
you know we're all born free
If you wanna mess it up
then don't bother listening to me
No No you don't seem to understand
you're the reason for
Malice in Wonderland
