Why? 06:35
I never make an efffort I never try I'm so self obsessed I never find the time Never find the time So Why is my life so sweet Why does my heart continue to beat Why do you love me so Im just. lucky. don't. you know The sea water’s in my blood Music’s in my brain You know that you’re in my heart I hope that’s where you will remain Where you will remain That’s why my life so sweet Why my heart continues to beat Why you love me so I’m just lucky don’t you know I don’t mind wearing my heart on my sleeve I don’t really care what you choose to believe I’m getting old That my life is so much fun So don’t write me off yet Because I’m not dusted or done The birds singing in the tree While I slide in the sky Looking down at the ocean Watching the waves go by Watching the waves go by That’s why my life so sweet Why my heart continues to beat Why you love me so I’m just lucky don’t you know

Brave Spirit 02:52
The strands of black and green Are on the floor It brings back visions of the night before Watching blind auditions with you singing in my ear The songs are not my genre it’s abundantly clear Brave spirit and a fierce mind You know your heart is so kind Brave spirit and a fierce mine You know your heart so kind Strands of black and green keep blowing in my face I smell your shampoo and I feel a trace A trace of happiness I never felt before I’m so glad that your hairs on my floor Brave spirit and a fierce mind You know your heart is so kind Brave spirit and a fierce mine You know your heart so kind

Black Dog 01:50
There’s a black dog on my shoulder Chewing in my ear I’m like a bone that won’t dry out Please get me out of here I’m a shadow of my former self My confidence has gone My balls are hanging on your shelf Please give me out of here Alone here with my shadow It’s getting dark and he’s gone to 13 years of bad luck All beginning with you What’s the man to do I’m standing in the firing line I’m all used up and I wasted my time Wasted my time I’m a dog like you Oh yeah I just wasted my time

I can’t believe this is happening Can’t believe it’s true I thought I was dreaming When I woke up next to you Your lips are enticing Your eyes they burn right through I thought I was dreaming When I woke up next to you OOOh baby this gap is so big I’ve encountered many things On this Siamese dig Age just a number You keep on telling me When I’m with you I find it hard to breath I heard you sing in the shower I saw you on my bed You make me laugh almost all the time You’re always in my head That look you gave me could it be true I thought I was dreaming When I woke up next to you

You know I used to connect lights with wire's black and red I've driven taxis through streets of desolation Where pollution reinged supreme I've seen people so desperate They tried to sell his soul When I look back now it seems so long ago About 40 years or so I've dated women warm and beautiful And others that were cold I married one too many I could never be told Yeah I know you told me so I've travelled this land looking for someplace to find Is it too late to find it Because I feel so fucking old and my heart is growing mould The love that surrounds me It never lasts too long I write down all my failures And put them in my songs I don't need a maid like Neil No I don't need a maid like Neil I've told people about safety when they are at work The effect on your children if you ever get hurt Your money will have no worth Now I'm here in Asia teaching kids to talk like me The looks on their faces is really something to see When they Sawasdee Kup me The love that surrounds me

He said she said we'll love each other till we're dead 15 years have passed them by Loves the only thing that's died I can't tell you tell you why God knows I really tried I just had to go away Nothing you can say could make me stay What's there to say We can't go on this way What's there to say when we say it's over What's there to do You can't say you love me too It's over My heart began to burst Like a bubble in my brain It was hard to hurt you But I did it just the same Ain't it funny how time flies I guess we said to many goodbyes I just had to go away Nothing you can say to make me stay What's there to say We can't go on this way What's there to say when we say it's over What's there to do You can't say you love me too It's over

I was feeling pretty down In some beachside town On the Siam coast My friend told me I fucked up again But I'm not the type to boast I walked out of the bar Some kid gave me a guitar I played in my heart of gold I looked around I was the oldest in town I knew it was time to go I'm fucking up again I do it well It happens all the time Practice makes perfect also they say Watch me do it again tomorrow I saw a Russian man With a nice suntan Tears in his eyes The bar girl daddy took Home Gave him a big surprise I'm fucking up again I do it well It happens all the time Practice makes perfect also they say Watch me do it again tomorrow

Run 04:12
Run run run, I'm running to you Run run run, I'm running to you A Riverview it reminds me of you Brown river flows where did those badges go They're going out to sea And are taking me Run run run, I'm running to you Run run run, I'm running to you I'm a passenger in the night This traffic is giving me a fright Brown river flows Where do those barges go Run run run, I'm running to you Run run run, I'm running to you Run run run, I'm running to you Run run run, I'm running to you

I've been smacked About the head again Kicked in the balls I'm on the ground Although I've hit the deck You'll never keep me down Friends come Friends go Someone tell you they'll be true But they're the ones you have to watch When they stick a knife in you I'll get back up I'll get back up You'll never keep me down I'll get back up I'll get back up Yeah only way to stop me Just keep me in the ground So come on Hit me again Make sure that you hit me hard Hit me Stab me Shoot me Just take the pain from my heart 'll get back up I'll get back up You'll never keep me down I'll get back up I'll get back up Yeah only way to stop me Just keep me in the ground
