Transplant
My liver is shot to pieces I need a transplant today
I've only got one kidney kidney pain wont go away
I've got 2 faulty 2 valves so pumping the blood ain't that easy to do
I need a transplant baby dodge the bullet and walk away
My liver is shot to pieces that comes from drinking to much Jack
I lost my kidney in a bike crash I ain't ever getting that Harley back
My lungs are covered in tar that comes from smoking 3 packs a day
I need a transplant baby dodge the bullet and walk away
I wanna rock and I wanna roll
Nothing working on this body but this body's got plenty of soul
Maybe you can fix me up give me a bottom to the top overhaul
Then I'll call the boys in the band are you ready it's time to hit the road
I've had a transplant so let's play some rock'n'roll
I wanna rock and I wanna roll
Nothing working on this body but this body's got plenty of soul
Maybe you can fix me up give me a bottom to the top overhaul
Then I'll call the boys in the band are you ready it's time to hit the road
I've had a transplant so let's play some rock'n'roll

Travelling Underground
Woke up this morning with a little root wrapped around my toe
Shook my leg but the little root wouldn't let go
A hole appeared and the little was pulling me down
I struggled to break free but we disappeared
Travelling underground
Across this wide broken world
I hear the cries of the trees above
I feel the heat of the fires burn
Travelling underground
Across this wide broken world
I hear the cries of the trees above
I feel the heat of the fires burn
And the chain saws sceaming never stops
And the loggers truck engines running hot
And the fat cats sitting on their ill gotten cash
Leaving the natural rain forest in a pile of ash
Travelling underground
Across this wide broken world
I hear the cries of the trees above
I feel the heat of the fires burn
And the chain saws sceaming never stops
And the loggers truck engines running hot
And the fat cats sitting on their ill gotten cash
Leaving their natural rain forest in a pile of ash
And the presidents sitting in their glass palaces
Smoking cigars and drinking champagne from their poison chalices
Slowly bringing Mother Earth down to her knees
All for the sake of their ill gotten greed
Travelling underground
Across the wide broken world
I hear the cries of the trees above
I feel the heat of the fires burn
Woke up this morning with a little root wrapped around my toe
Shook my leg but the little root wouldn't let me go
Little root said hey mister you know you're running out of time
All the natural rainforests are destined to die.
And the presidents sitting in their glass palaces
Smoking cigars and drinking champagne from their poison chalices
Slowly bringing Mother Earth down to her knees
All for the sake of their ill gotten greed

Together
Take me back across the wild and stormy seas
Take me home to the land of the free
We must all learn to live together
We must live in peace and harmony
We need to know that the future is in our hands
We need to grow more tolerance and learn to understand
We can make the future bright
Walk from ther darkness out into the light into the light
Take my hand whatever race colour or creed
Take my heart it's love that we need
We must all learn to live together
We must live in peace and harmony
Take my hand whatever race colour or creed
Take my heart it's love and only love that we need

Stella Heartbeat
When the night is young all them sweet memories of you
Keep coming into my head I can't wait until the morning comes
I'm lost at sea giant waves are crashing down me
I see you standing there reaching out trying to pull me close to you
Stella Heartbeat
When I'm in your arms everythings gonna be alright
Stella Heartbeat love me tonight
If there's a mountain I need to climb
Well I'll get over that mountain everytime
Just to get to you
Nothing ever gonna stop me from breaking through
Only got a few miles left to go
Before I get home I can let you know
This is where I'll stay
Nothing ever gonna take me away from you
Stella Heartbeat
When I'm in your arms everythings gonna be alright
Stella Heartbeat love me tonight
When I'm in your arms never want to let you go
Stella Heartbeat I love you so
Only got a few miles to go before I get back to you
No 10000 horses gonna stop me from breaking through
When I'm in your arms everythings gonna be alright
Stella Heartbeat love me tonight
When I'm in your arms never want to let you go
Stella Heartbeat I love you so
My Stella I love you so
My Stella Heartbeat

Tightrope
I’m walking on a tightrope can’t you hear me calling you
I’ve got a tight rope tied around my neck
I can’t breath I’m begging you please
Help to me to break free come and rescue me
Can't you hear me calling you
I’ve got a tight rope tied around my wrist pulling me pulling me
Into the abyss but I want to stay up high I don't want to die
Can't you hear me calling you
I’m walking on a tightrope can’t you hear me calling you
I’ve got a tight rope tied around my neck
I can’t breath I’m begging you please
Help me to break free come and rescue me
Can't you hear me calling you
I'm calling calling calling you

Agua Azul
Blue cascades tumbling down the mountain
It’s natures one and only crystal fountain
Let paradise take you in her arms
Give yourself over to all of those mystical charms
You gotta feel the rythmn feel the beat feel that music and feel that heat
You gotta get on down it’s oh so cool you gotta get on down to Agua Azul
It’s so cool
Listen to the rhythms of the wild
The beating heart of natures most beautiful child
Let yourself be taken in by all of that jungle fever
Liquidise yourselves and become believers
You gotta feel the rythmn feel the beat feel that music and feel that heat
You gotta get on down it’s oh so cool you gotta get on down
Agua Azul it’s so cool
Hey everybody let's get on down to southern Mexico
Vamos everybody let's go go go
Quando tu ves una vista muy bonita
Es uncierto el regreso ala casa
No es tiempo para una siesta
Es hora de una grande fiesta
You gotta feel the rythmn feel the beat feel that music and feel that heat
You gotta get on down it’s oh so cool you gotta get on down
Agua Azul it’s so cool
You gotta feel the rythmn feel the beat feel that music and feel that heat
You gotta get on down it’s oh so cool you gotta get on down
Agua Azul it’s so cool
Hey everybody let's go to southern Mexico
Vamos everybody let's go go go

Mary Lou
You turned your back on me baby I see you walking out through that door
Deep down in my heart I knew that you wouldn't come back no more
You left me to pick up the pieces and figure out what I did wrong
Was it something that I said something that I did to make you feel like you didn't belong
Was it me that lied or was it you I figure out what I should do
Should I run after you and say I'm sorry say that we start anew
Oh Mary sweet Mary I am feeling so blue
Mary Sweet Mary Lou I am still so in love with you
I get my coat and my car keys and drive the few miles into town
It's raining and a pouring a night to remember for what was about to go down
With a heavy soul I climb the few steps to get out of the pouring rain
Your Mother opens the door says son I'm sorry you're to late it's all in vain
She gave me the news that broke my heart and left me shattered on the ground
Mary gone to the station took the 7.15 Galverston bound
Oh Mary sweet Mary I am feeling so blue
Mary Sweet Mary Lou I am still so in love with you
Now I'm standing at the station looking down the tracks
Tears are rolling down my cheeks I know my Mary Lou wont be coming back
Oh Mary sweet Mary I am feeling so blue
Mary Sweet Mary Lou I am still so in love with you

Crazy Monkey
Somebody's gotta help me get that crazy monkey off my back
Somebody's gotta help me get that crazy monkey off my back
Cause I’m falling down
Somebody's gotta help me get that monkey off my back
That crazy crazy monkey wants me to shoot smack
That crazy crazy monkey wants me to smoke crack
And I’m falling down
Somebody's gotta help me take that crazy monkey by the hand
Somebody's gotta help me make that crazy monkey understand
That I’m falling down
Somebody's help me get that monkey off my back
That crazy crazy monkey wants me to shoot smack
That crazy crazy monkey wants me to smoke crack
And I’m falling down falling down
Drive drive I've got to get out on the street tonight
Drive drive I need a fix to keep me alive
Drive drive my head it keeps on spinning round
Drive drive I'm falling down
Somebody's gotta help me wipe that smile off that crazy monkeys face
Somebody's gotta help me put that crazy monkey back in his cage
Cause I’m falling down
Somebody's gotta help me get that monkey off my back
That crazy crazy monkey wants me to shoot smack
That crazy crazy monkey wants me to smoke crack
And I’m falling down falling down
Drive drive I've got to get out on the street tonight
Drive drive I need a fix to keep me alive
Drive drive my head it keeps on spinning round
Drive drive I'm falling down I'm falling down

One Million Miles
You think the sun always shines over your head in bright blue skies
I tip toe around on broken glass listening to all your lies
I don't want to be part of the crazy games that you play
You chasing me to the edge you watching me falling down
Why is it whatever I do is always wrong and you are always right
You come home after to many drinks slamming the door and turning on the lights
I see you staring down at me I retreat into my space I'm scared
You chasing me to the edge you watching me falling down and when I hit the ground
I wake up
One Million Miles away from here
One Million Miles away from here
One Million Miles away
From here from here I wanna find a new place to stay
From here from here I wanna find a brand new day
From here from here I wanna be a million miles away
One Million one million one million miles away
One Million one million one million miles away
You chasing me to the edge you watching me falling down and when I hit the ground
I wake up
One Million Miles away from here
One Million Miles away from here
One Million Miles away from here
One Million Miles away from here

My Last Song
If this were my last song that I would ever sing a sweet melody
Conjured up from thin air
The final words bequethed to music that the audience can sit back enjoy and hear
With every note I play I want to take you so much higher and all the words I sing will last forever more long in the memory
Last words I've written I put the pen away replace the paper back in the tray
Close the lid on the piano
Leave the room shut the door turn the key in the lock forever more leaving behind All those memories
Perhaps never to return my heart would crash and burn with every breath I take
I have more things I want to say more things day by day
I turn a new page and write familiar words and then I compose the music that the lyrics so deserve
Now I sing as free as a bird that's how I'd always want things to stay
If this were my last song remember me forever more if this were my last song
Remember me when I'm gone remember me forever more
If this were my last song remember me forever more
