How Was I to Know? 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Once I loved a Creole girl But I never let her know I never even kissed her On the night I let her go It was in the dead of winter But she was all aglow That night was going to be our night How was I to know What she was feeling How I hurt her so Now my heart is reeling How was I to know? She invited me to dinner Her room mate was out of town I couldnt have been dimmer I acted like a clown Flowers on the table Lights turned way down low Making love was on her mind How was I to know What she was feeling How I hurt her so Now my heart is reeling How was I to know? It was three clock in the morning I said Id better go Thse were the last words I said to her How was I to know?

Make it one A one time kiss No need to repeat it When its over I will beat it And I wont ever kiss you again Make it one A one tme dance Then leave me on the floor Isabella, nevermore Will I take You by the waist to embrace Make it one A one time stab Directly to my heart One thrust From my beloved Then I shall depart

I Know a Place 03:51
lyrics

I Know A Place Where the men take off their hats And the women keep them on At least I used to knoe the place For all I know its gone Now the woman picks a flower And the an picks his nose She washes his hair He messes up her clothes She borrows a fancy dress He shoplifts a shirt Both pretend to be somebody Both are as common as dirt But I Know A Place Where people still sing the songs They learned when they were kids At least I uused to know the place Now its a home for invalids And the woman holds the baby And the man protects the house There is a cop on every corner Ad its as quiet as a mouse

Surrender 02:53
lyrics
buy track
The detective heard me call her Carol When Gloria was her name Before he could cuff me, I slipped to the side And lagged behind After the crowd was let into the theatre, I switched out the tickets for another show. Carol found me and we broke into her car Where she had stashed a copy of the script With only ten minutes till curtain, I didnt have time to memorize my part So I took the high road to the farm Where the police waited to arrest me. Fifty years on the run and my past had caught up with me. What could I do except surrender?

Alita 02:52
lyrics
buy track
All the boys loved Alita The girl who worked at the picture show She liked it when someone held her hand And listened to her talk When they seemed to understand But Alita wouldnt go all the way Alita wouldnt go all the way She liked it when the boys kissed her And when she said goodnight She iked it when they missed her But Alita wouldnt let herself go too far A hand inside the sweater Was a step outside the law Alita wouldnt go all the way Alita wouldnt go all the way There was a special boy Alita really liked But it wasnt so pleasant, the things he tried When he took her to the dance Tried to put his hand down her pants She slapped him in the face He left and got his lovin in some easier place Because Alita wouldnt go all the way Alita wouldnt go all the way

The Business of Love 02:22
lyrics
buy track
At first the girl was all about business The business she was in was physical fitness She took me for everything I had Now she has everything I used to have Five years later, I saw her again She asked me where the hell Id been Then took off her dress, what could I do But say, sugar babe, Ive been looking for you Back at the hotel, my head was swimmin the swimmin pool was loaded with swimmable women I told her I was hungry for a taste of honey She put her hands in both my pockets and pulled out all my money Everybody in the lounge was still complaining Even though it had stopped raining All night long I got no rest When the sun came up she was already dressed Back on the corner, she was stopping cars Men flew like pigeons out of the bars Her face was bloated, eyes full of sin We went back upstairs and did it all again Ten years have passed, anniversary day The business of love still pay and pays I gave her everything I had Now she is everything I ever wanted to have

Greetings, Deceiving, and Goodbye 03:08
lyrics
buy track
First she bats her lashes Her eyes are just for you Then she licks her ipper lip Just like striippers do Then she slips a finger Into a crease in your jeans Lighting up the pleasure zone in your brain By simply touching your knee chorus Love is a three stage rocket Pulls us out of our socket Kick yourself wonder why Its always greetings, deceiving, and goodbye Later you receive a phone call Telling you she will be late Saying dont bother to wait up for me You tell her you will wait When she arrives in the morning With her blouse askew You ask where have you been all night She anwers Whats it to you Repeat chorus Six guys are in your apartment Packing up all of her stuff When you get in their way They rough you up They kick you till you are uconscious Then strip the room til it is bare When you get up on your feet again Nothing is left of her there Repeat chorus

Nobody Is Waiting for Me 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Slipping backwards into life Smashed against forgotten places Try to catch a friendly eye Finding only scornful faces From the town of Tombstone I ride the rails to who knows where Next stop could be my hometown Nobody is waiting for me there Here is the garden where i used to grow And the room where I used to sleep I wonder what ever became of The treasures that I used to keep How many doors must I open To find the dark at the top of the stairs I hear the laughter n the play room Nobody Waiting for me there After they put me in my grave I lost my way between heaven and hell Seeing the wonders Swedenberg saw On that celestial carousel I stand now outside Peters gate My breath is cold, my head is bare You need an invitation to get inside, Peter says And nobody is waiting for you in there
