Nazareth Album

I ain't got no time at all
I ain't got no space to take a fall
I'm cracking up
I'm breaking down
I'm chucking out my marbles
And I'm falling to the ground.

I ain't got no space to hide
I ain't got no peace inside
I'm all burned out
I'm caving in
Now sometimes got to give
'Cause it's really getting under my skin.

Because I'm mad, bad and dangerous to know
I'm so sad, I'm losing my mojo
I'm goin' loco
I'm one stop short of a bus ride
Goin' loco
A shoo in case for a suicide.
Hey!

Medicated, so frustrated
Life is getting complicated now.

I ain't got no time at all
I ain't got no space to take a fall
I'm cracking up
I'm breaking down
I'm chucking out my marbles
And I'm falling to the ground.

I ain't got no space to hide
I ain't got no peace inside
I'm all burned out
I'm caving in
Now sometimes got to give
'Cause it's really getting under my skin.

Because I'm mad, bad and dangerous to know
I'm so sad, I'm losing my mojo
I'm goin' loco
I'm one stop short of a bus ride
Goin' loco
A shoo in case for a suicide.
Hey!

Medicated, so frustrated
Life is getting complicated now.

Don't let them get you down
Don't let them run your life.

She owns a bar down in San Antonio
Louisiana mama a long way from home
But don't you worry
And don't you fret
Jack man says it's as good as it gets
So just lay back and eat a peach
She's a day at the beach.

She's got a Harley loves the roar
Hoochie Coochie dancer
Watch her moves on the floor
She knows the story leather and lace
She even does mornings with a smile on her face
So just sit back
Get sand on your feet
She's a day at the beach.

If she's a bit out of reach
Don't worry
Don't sell yourself too short
She's a day at the beach
There's no hurry
She's the kind of girl
You can't ignore.

Grab a piece of the sun
(Grab a piece of the sun)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
Make yourself No. 1
(Make yourself No. 1)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
Because she's second to none
('Cause she's second to none)
And I tell you she's alright
Grab a piece of the sun
(Grab a piece of the sun)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
She's a day at the beach.

She's got some insight
She knows where it's at
Have your eye on the ball
When you get up too bat
So don't you cheat
And don't you lie
If you keep it together
It could be paradise
So just hang in practice what you preach
She's a day at the beach.

If she's a bit out of reach
Don't worry
Don't sell yourself too short
She's a day at the beach
There's no hurry
She's the kind of girl
You can't ignore.

Grab a piece of the sun
(Grab a piece of the sun)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
Make yourself No. 1
(Make yourself No. 1)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
Because she's second to none
('Cause she's second to none)
And I tell you she's alright
Grab a piece of the sun
(Grab a piece of the sun)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
She's a day at the beach.

Grab a piece of the sun
(Grab a piece of the sun)
'Cause I tell you she's alright
Make yourself No. 1

And I tell you she's alright
Grab a piece of the sun

'Cause I tell you she's alright
She's a day at the beach.

You think you're owed a living
Something 'bout you family tree
Your daddy was a bad man
You are just a crazy freak
The ship is surely sinking
And history will finger you
For staggering incompetence
And all the things you didn't do.

You're a liar
Liar, liar
Liar
Liar, liar.

You couldn't get elected
Without messing with democracy
You should have been arrested
But you've got job security
And weapons in the desert
Dubya knew it wasn't true
Illiterate. And full of shit
Daddy must be proud of you.

You're a liar
Liar, liar
Liar
Liar, liar.

Liar, liar... Pants on fire.

Shamed administration and you're working on shame
There ain't no climate change
Embarrassing your nation 'cause you never gave a damn
About no hurricane
God is no excuse for taking all you can
You must be deranged.
Liar!

Liar
Liar, liar
Liar
Liar, liar

Liar, (You think you're owed a living)
Liar, liar (You think you're owed a living)
Liar, (You think you're owed a living)
(Dubya knew it wasn't true)
Liar, liar (You think you're owed a living)
(Shamed administration and you're working on shame)
Liar, (You think you're owed a living)

See me in the light of your affection
See me I'm starring in your show
Hear me in righteous conversation
Guarantee I'll save your soul.

Heed me and listen to my story
Yes, siree, I'm reapin' what I sew
Don't leave me in swampy territory
Good or bad, I'm the devil that you know.

I walk the world and I look around
Seeing is believing when it's faith that counts
Lovin' is so easy when there ain't no doubt.

Save me from the pain of my addiction
Hold me when you've got to take control
Break me, I want your absolution
Rosary is the only way to go.

I walk the world and I look around
Seeing is believing when it's faith that counts
Lovin' is so easy when there ain't no doubt.

Bathe me in the rising tide
Take me to a land of promise
Grab me if you see me slide
Won't be the first time
Don't stay away
Now the ship is rollin' over
Pray for the day
When it all fades to the past.

Paint me in a world of song
Join me in the evening chorus
Tune me when you sing along
Till we see the sundown
Take my mistake
As a one time aberration
Make for the break
In the shadow that we cast.

That's me you've heard all my excuses
Tease me, but I don't want you to go
Just love me and all my complications
Play me
Be the string,
I'll be the bow.

I walk the world and I look around
Seeing is believing when it's faith that counts
Lovin' is so easy when there ain't no doubt.

See me... see me...
See me... see me... see me...

See me.

You give without takin'
I take what I need
I need what you're givin'
You give me belief
And when I wake in the morning, baby
I feel the strength renew
To face the world on the outside maybe
'Cause on the inside is you.

It's been a long road travelled on
It's been a long road home.

I've got enough love now
I've got enough love now
I've got enough
I've got enough love
I've got enough love now.

The way that you love me
The light in your smile
All the pleasure you give me
On that extra mile
And when I think that I'm fallin', honey
You're my safety net
The world doesn't scare me no way
Can there be more love left.

It's been a long road travelled on
It's been a long road home.

I've got enough love now
I've got enough love now
I've got enough
I've got enough love
I've got enough love now.

It's been a long road travelled on
It's been a long road home.

I've got enough love now
I've got enough love now
I've got enough
I've got enough love
I've got enough love now.

I've got enough love now...
I've got enough love now...
I've got enough love now...
I've got enough love now...

I've got enough love.

Wake up in the morning,
Can't recall a thing you did the night before
Consider that a warning,
Pass the ammunition and praise the Lord
Play it down make a decision,
Do it know don't lose the vision
Better get in motion,
Got to get a plan before it hits the fan.

Big time poser
Real deal closer.

Used to be a pin-up,
Everybody said you were a centrefold
Better get the lead out,
All your scandals gettin' way too old
Move your shoes, head for the river
Make a stand, time to deliver
Silly little devil,
Gonna make the headlines on the evening news.

Big time poser
Real deal closer.

Do another number,
Try to get arrested when the TV's there
Call the paparazzi,
Planets getting warmer gonna ruin your hair
Look behind, check your position
Check your brakes, watch for collision
When the play is over,
Nothing really matters you drop the ball.

Big time poser
Real deal closer.

Mean streets
There's something taking over
Strange thing
We're losing what we had
Closing down
Seems like another town
Changed days
We used to laugh a lot.

Tell me
Is there somewhere I can go now
Empty
The door is staying shut
No sound
You won't get another round
Maybe
It's time to move along.

I can't believe it's over.

Bad dreams
Blood is running colder
Sinky's
No turning back the clock
Memories
It used to mean so much to me
My scene
Won't make the final cut.

Don't like this new direction
Can't believe it's over
It's getting out of control
Can't believe it s over
Don't want a corporation
Can't believe it's over
We need a place with soul.

Time flies
I don't feel any older
Goodbyes
Are harder than I thought
Bandstand
Kind another place to jam
Old friends
Will never be forgot.

I can't believe it's over
I can't believe it's over
I can't believe it's over.

Two thirty in the morning and it happened again
My alarm is ringing and I'm late for the plane
Got me walkin' into walls, I can't handle the pace
I've be home for seven hours, now I'm packing my case.

For a road trip
(I just can't take no more)
A hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't feel no more)
Hell of a road trip.

Crossin' over borders in a catatonic state
Continental breakfast just arrived on my plate
Got a point of entry visa - It's a pain in the ass
Lay over in Stavanger, Lord, we're havin' a gas.

On a road trip
(I just can't take no more)
A hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't feel no more)
Hell of a road trip.

Here comes the bus ride
Twelve hours on from the first flight
I don't want to get on a boat tonight
Don't want to get on a boat tonight.

Later in the evening as the night closes in
Flying the domestic and the problems begin
Got a hundredweight of baggage and a carnet to fill
Still no destination and I'm ready to kill.

On a road trip
(I just can't take no more)
Hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't feel no more)
Hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't take no more)
Hell of a road trip
On a road trip
(I just can't take no more)
A hell of a road trip
Yes, it's a road trip
(I just can't feel no more)
Hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't feel no more)
Hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't take no more)
Hell of a road trip
It's a road trip
(I just can't feel no more)
Hell of a road trip.

It's a road trip.

I had it all
Or I thought so anyway
And then there came the day
When I knew I'd been deceived.

It was tailor made
The hole I'd dug myself
That morning they came knocking
Couldn't blame nobody else.

You make mistakes
Then you make them all again
And find yourself deserted
By the people you called friends.

All it takes
Is for one deal to go bad
You're signing your confession
As they take all that you have.

And all this years spent sitting here
Waiting to be free.

My day has come
And I can finally see.

Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah.

I've dreamed of waking up beyond that wall
It looks like I might make it after all.

There's a kid in here
Reminds me of my son
I watch him with the others
When they laugh about what they've done.

So many ways
To impress one so young
The day they let him out of here
He's gonna find himself a gun.

I tried to say
Tried to make him understand
Fear is not respect
And it won't make a boy a man
Oh, you make mistakes
And you make them all again
It seems that I offended
One of those godforsaken men.

In all these years spent sitting here
The last thing that I see
Is a baby face
With a blade that's made for me.

Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah.

I guess some things were never meant to be.

Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah
Gloria-ah-ah-ah-ah.

So open up that gate and welcome me
My spirits flown
And I'm finally free
Finally free... yeah!

Hoppin' on a plane
Feels kinda strange, 'cause I'm shovellin' the same load
Lookin' for a change
But I keep on travellin' the same road
A belly full'a pain
But I don't mind carryin' the payload
A holiday in Spain
Y'see, I keep on travellin' the same road.

Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin' the same road
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin', travellin' the same road.

They never tell the truth
They say I got a villa out in Magaluf
When I hit the ground
It's a long, long way from the main road
Summertime's come
Headin' for the sunshine lookin' for a good time
Could've been anywhere
But I keep on travellin' the same road.

Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin' the same road
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin', travellin' the same road.

Seein' life go past and it's lightnin' fast
Seein' time that's wasted
Makin' no excuse, 'cause I'm doin' it all again.

Got a fat cigar
But I know I keep smokin' in the same bar
When I tell the truth
I don't mind travellin' the same road
Bless my soul
I could'a made a livin' out of Rock'n'Roll
When I spread my cards
Thank God I'm travellin' the same road.

Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin' the same road
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin', travellin' the same road.

Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin' the same road
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin', travellin' the same road.

Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin' the same road
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin'
Keep on travellin', travellin' the same road.

Everybody's in the motherboard
Communication, information overload
Socialising on the internet
Correlation, situation so inadequate
They gotta get out again
Set some trends
They gotta get a life again
Make some friends.

Every hour, every day
Every moment, every way
Makes no difference what you say
They're bootin' up and loggin' on
Every thought, every seed
Every problem, every need
Satisfaction guaranteed
They're bootin' up and loggin' on again.

Everybody's got a site of their own
Stimulation, simulation in the home
A virtual life caught in cyberspace
Assimilation, fabrication takin' place
They gotta get out again
Set some trends
They gotta get a life again
Make some friends.

The world outside is such a crashing bore
The surf is up behind your bedroom door.

Every hour, every day
Every moment, every way
Makes no difference what you say
They're bootin' up and loggin' on
Every thought, every seed
Every problem, every need
Satisfaction guaranteed
They're bootin' up and loggin' on again...
Loggin' on again... loggin' on again...

Every hour, every day
Every moment, every way
Every thought, every seed
Every problem, every need.

Every hour, every day
Every moment, every way
Makes no difference what you say
They're bootin' up and loggin' on
Every thought, every seed
Every problem, every need
Satisfaction guaranteed
They're bootin' up and loggin' on.

Every hour, every day
Every moment, every way
Makes no difference what you say
They're bootin' up and loggin' on
Every thought, every seed
Every problem, every need
Satisfaction guaranteed
They're bootin' up and loggin' on again,
Loggin' on again, loggin' on again...

The world outside is such a crashing bore
The surf is up behind your bedroom door
The world outside is such a crashing bore
The surf is up behind your bedroom door...

In your head you can hear your heart
Sweat runs cold it's all about to start
Life or death only seconds away
For king and country, there's a game to play.

The hawks will fly, the doves will cry
The old wise ones stay at home
The young ones die
Come to the gathering
Have fun with a gun
Come to the gathering
Your day in the sun.

In your soul you can feel the fear
In your mind all your demons appear
Could this be your glory day
Or just another number when you're blown away?

The hawks will fly, the doves will cry
The old wise ones stay at home
The young ones die
Come to the gathering
Have fun with a gun
Come to the gathering
Your day in the sun.

Thank the ones who bear the scar
Widow weaves and a silver star
All the ones who won't meet dad
Wonder why they turned out so bad
All the kids who won the day
Just got bombed by the folks they saved
And all the people where you're from
Don't want you there you've been gone too long.

In your head you can hear your heart
Sweat runs cold it's all about to start
Life or death only seconds away
For king and country, there's a game to play.

The hawks will fly, the doves will cry
The old wise ones stay at home
The young ones die
Welcome to the gathering
Have fun with a gun
Welcome to the gathering
Your day in the sun.

I've been walking through the old town
Looking for a place to waste some time
For the company of strangers
No one who could know what's on my mind
I'll tell myself she'll be alright
Tell myself I'm doing fine
Yes, I can shoulder the blame
I know how to take a fall.

But tonight I can't take the pain
So I'm staying here for last call
I'm still taking care of business
Giving out guarantees
But when I look at my reflection
I wonder what life done to me
And if you want to help somebody
I'm a dying breed
If you want to save somebody
I'm a dying breed.

Oh, barman, can I light up?
There's no one else in here
I've got some money in your jukebox
Can I have another beer?
When I should have been paying attention
I got lost in my weed
She was the last thing that I wanted
But now she's everything I need
And if you want to hurt somebody
I'm a dying breed
And if yon want to love somebody
I'm a dying breed
If you get me out of trouble, honey
I'll be all you need.
