01. if you have time
02. stay a litte longer
03. i missed you on the train
04. take it easy
05. i'm down
06. put that in your pipe
07. before you go
08. it's a hard life
09. when i lost you
10. i still love you

if you have time

any pizza or beer for you tonight ?
think about it, we can share
have one sip, i'll take one bite
that is if you have time to spare

if you have time
and nothing on your mind
why, i'm free
for you and me

i made myself pretty just for you to like me
i had a shower and put cucumber in my hair
i could go on a drinking spree
that is if you have time to spare

we'll dance the rumba and the butt to butt
hands up in the air like we just don't care
arms wide open, eyes tight shut
that is if you have time to spare

stay a little longer

stay a little longer
and keep me company
stay a little longer
the next one's on me

your glass is empty
sean's looking at mine
the last word has left me
at the end of the line

i'll listen to you
till they turn out the light
for your voice will sound true
all through the night

i've been here every night
ever since you went away
thinking that you might
come back one day

so come on, what do you say ?
just this one time
i've been sitting here all day
and the next round is mine

i missed you on the train

that conductor never notice me
he checked my ticket again
i wondered if you missed me
i missed you on the train

i missed you on the train
will you be home when i call ?
this is driving me insane
did you ever think of me at all ?

oh it's hard to concentrate
with the whistle and the wheels and the rain
this trip could have been great
but i missed you on the train

was i really that stupid ?
i feel useless and lame
i don't care what you did
i missed you on the train

take it easy

there's days i wish was like you
there's days i wanna put myself to use
and never wonder what to do
but i can't shake away these blues
and take it easy

i just wouldn't know where to start
to take it easy
i wish that it wasn't so hard
to take it easy

my body is a funny place to be
and there is nothing you can say
sometimes i wish that i wasn't me
oh i just need to get away
and take it easy

don't high-hat me, don't be a jerk
lay your coolness by my side
give me your hand, i think it'll work
i wanna keep your body close to mine
and take it easy

i'm down

whiskey or vodka, on the rocks or neat ?
the wasting machines are just across the street
the music is good, the music is sweet
seriously, i'm down

when i say i'm down i mean i'm chilling
when i say i'm down i mean thumbs up
when i say i'm down i mean it's thrilling
to have you around, and wine in my cup

i would live here if i could
you can drink and smoke and have some awesome food
even the beer is good
seriously, i'm down

there's no sun outside
no fun outside
let's run and hide
i'm thinking downtown

these two go together, this one needs another
these two go together, this one needs another
so make up your mind brother
seriously, i'm down

put that in your pipe

love is a funny thing
and tomorrow never comes
if you can't dance, just sing
along with dicks, harrys and toms

tomorrows never comes
i made a promise, and then i broke it
tomorrow never comes
put that in your pipe an smoke it

it's only my second beer
and tomorrow never comes
but it's hard for me to hear
too much drums and horns

i'll tell you a secret:
tomorrow never comes
have another cigarette
don't worry, i have tons

before you go

before you go
let's get together one more time
before you go
and stay on my mind

the trumpet's hitting that high note
water's dripping from your coat
i like you more than you would know
let's have another drink before you go

i've hung your jacket and your hat
my soda water's gone flat
let's turn the lights down low
i wanna take you in my arms before you go

there's more coffee in the pot
better drink it while it's hot
if you feel like kissing i won't say no
but don't say goodbye before you go

it's a hard life

it's a hard life
hard as solid steel
it's hard life
and all you get is a raw deal

i was born a boxer but i've never once won a fight
and i've got a good left, i mean it's not much worse than my right
now when a dingo bit me i didn't punch or bite back
but i was yelling so loud that the dingo ran back to his pack

i grew up in a bubble and when my bubble burst
i jumped right back into bed, and i jump head first
they'll make a grown-up out of me, rather later than sooner
but for now you can still call me joey: i'm not quite a boomer

please don't leave me alone when the sun's going down
stay with me dear when the darkness takes over the town
i feel stronger when i'm with you and it's not because you tell me i am
it's just that when you're smiling i feel like i don't give a damn

when i lost you

When i lost you, i lost my goal
i lost one tooth but i got a hole
now i've got a hole and what have you got
a thorn in your side and a feather in your hat

i waited for the night to fall
to look at the stars, the moon, and all
i waited for the night to call me up
pour seltzer in my wine and whiskey in my cup

i started to think of nothing in particular
like you and myself and how i wish you were
silly enough to ride along
no matter what is right or wrong

the seltzer man is always late
but i have my eyes on the green crate
so i'll chase my drink with beer
still wishing you were here

i still love you

i still love you
i've tried , now don't you doubt it
i still love you
and there's nothing you can do about it

i ditched your banjo and your socks
put all our cds in a box
it was hard but i gave them away
you've gotta keep moving, they say

i had no-where else to go
so i kissed the drummer after the show
but it made me think of you
like every single little thing i do

the deeper the wound, the longer the time
i'd be lying if i said i was fine
only our love is real
and i don't want it to heal

like a lion in a cage i'm pacing the floor
and i can't even see the door
i'm losing my mind
turning around
