Nazareth - The Very Best Of Nazareth [compilation] (2007) by Nazareth (보컬) on maniadb.com

Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says, "Too bad, too sad
You know that he's been dead and gone."

L.A. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home.

I woke up groggy, my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown.

Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out, I crashed out
When the KGB came on the line.

It's a cold one, bein' sent down
It's gotta be fifty below.

Mama, here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal.

Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed.

Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon
But we're headed for a southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.

He's a big one, he's got a big gun
I guess we better go along.

Mister, we've got a gig in Arizona
Second billing to the Rolling Stones.

Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed.

Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Laid low in 'Frisco
Done in and left behind for dead.

Love hurts love scars love wounds
Almost any heart
Not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain
take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
love hurts
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two
I learned from you
I really learned a lot
really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
love hurts
love hurts

I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
love hurts
love hurts

Heart breaker soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller midnight shoulder
What they been saying' must be true

Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

[Chorus]
Now you're messin' with a
Son of a bitch
Now your messin' with a
Son of a bitch
Now your messin' with a
Son of a bitch
Now your messin' with a
Son of a bitch

Talking jiving poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker bone faker
I ain't so blind I can't see

Red hot mama
Down light charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

[Chorus:Repeat x4]

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

Riding all around the street
Four o'clock and they're all asleep
I'm not tired and it's so late
Moving fast everything looks great.

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

See that man, he's all alone
Looks so happy but he's far from home
Ring my bell, smile at him
Better kick over his garbage bin

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

The rain comes down but I don't care
The wind is blowing in my hair
Seagulls flying in the air

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

Policeman shouts but I don't see him
They're one thing I don't believe in
To find some charge but it's not leavin'

Lift both hands, his head in disgrace
Shines no light upon my face
Through the darkness, we still speed
My white bicycle and me

My white bicycle, my white bicycle

It's a gone dead train
Yes, it's a gone dead train

My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
It would never last

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Like a gone dead train

Once was at a time when I could
Mama shave 'em dry
And raise a fever ice-down chill
Waitin' at the station
With a heavy loaded sack
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn

There ain't no easy day
When your daily run's a downhill pull
And there ain't no easy way
Wishin' for some jelly roll
There ain't no switch been made
To make your juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train


Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn
You know it's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
It's a gone dead train
It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.

Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parking sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your heart left for me?

Well I know you got so many you can choose from
There's always flowers lying by your door
I bet your phone it never stops
Bet you're the queen at the local hops
I bet you get valentines but never keep the score

Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parking sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your heart left for me?

I bet your phone it never stops
I know you're the queen at the local hops
I bet you get valentines but never keep the score

Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parking sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your heart made for me?

Is there a place in your heart made for me?
Is there a place in your heart made for me?

If you're ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin'
Now I don't wanna get you uptight
But if you're in a corner
And you can't find no way out
Don't look around for no help
No, no there won't be any around

Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you don't wanna listen
You can't be told no more
But wait'll you get out there
You better do it right
'cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And they're hidin' in the night

Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy



Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
They'll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game you're playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
You'll get blown away

Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you

Someone woke me up again last night
Talkin' to me about my last time
Don't tell me I know it's late
Please, please lay me down a line
Pick me up before I start to fall
Never let your dreams grow small

May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you

Talkin' to my lover, she was out
It was independence day
Don't be nervous , you can hold me tight
Someone turned the light out on the stairs
Was it just the wind I heard
Just another helping hand

May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you

Take me back down the yellow brick road
Let me get my ticket to your heart
Stranger's hidin' on my land
Could it be it's keepin' me apart
Give me time don't you gimme no love
Let the sunshine in your heart

If you wanna walk out the door
You don't need a key
If you don't wanna come by no more
I'll set you free

Whatever you want babe
Whatever you need
Just as long as you know babe
What you're doin' to me
What you're doin' to me

If you wanna say it's a day
I won't disagree
I would never stand in your way
That wouldn't be me

Whatever you want babe
Whatever you need
Just as long as you know babe
What it's doin' to me
What it's doin' to me

I would never tie you down
You've always been free to leave
If you wanna make it goobye
That's o.k. with me
Got so tired of asking you why
I'll just let it be

Whatever you want babe
Whatever you need
Just as long as you know babe
What it's doin' to me

And if I try to find a reason
For all the things I do
Would you try to understand , the way I am
And how I care for you
Would you give me your undivided attention
And the benefit of your doubt?
Ooh!, ooh!

Drinkin' my wine, makes me feel fine
Gonna have me a holiday
Poor man's party, rich man's daughter
Gettin' hotter and hotter

She's pushin' way too hard
I don't want any part of her way
Drinkin' my wine, makes me feel fine
Gonna have me a holiday

It's a holiday... It's a holiday

Mama mama please, no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama mama please, no more deckhands
I don't want to be a sailor man
Mama mama please, no more face lifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama mama please, no more husbands
(I don't know who my daddy is)

Drinkin' my wine, wastin' my time
Hidin' out in my rented dream
Lookin' for attention
A cover story mention in
Life magazine
Ask the chauffeur who he knows
Numbers he's got, lots of those

Drinkin' my wine, spendin' my time
Tryin' to run from this Halloween

It's a holiday... It's a holiday

Mama mama please, no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama mama please, no more deckhands
I don't want to be a sailor man
Mama mama please, no more face lifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama mama please, no more husbands
(I don't know who my daddy is)

It's a holiday... It's a holiday

Here we are in the west
And our cars are glistenin'
The bear he roars in the east
But we ain't listenin'
We won't play games in his backyard
But we let him build his wall
We say our God is on our side
Hope he's listenin' to us all

While we talk

He's gettin' dresses, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dresses to kill

We got eyes in the stars
But we don't care what they see
We put a man on the moon
We all see it on t.v.
We all protest about his bombs
He hopes we keep it going
And while we rest he's marchin' on
His fuse has started glowin'

While we talk

He's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dressed to kill

What have you got to hide at home
His arms are stained but never empty
The things that you think you own
Are only for the few
Don't you think it's time, don't you think it's time
We got ready, we got ready

We got right on our side
So our leaders say today
Count the size of the treat
We can slide a different way
Our planes are flyin' in your sky
We know just what they're sayin'
You see the writing on the wall
Your nerves are tearin', frayin'

While we talk

He's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dressed to kill

He's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dressed to kill

Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're foolin' yourself
Dream on
Dream on
You can hide away
There is nothing to say so dream on
Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're foolin' yourself
dream on

You can laugh at me
because i'm crying
You can tell your friends how much
I begged you to stay
You can live your fantasy without me
But you'll never know
how much i needed you
Dream on
It's so easy for you
Though i'm broken in two dream on
Dream on
You can never see
What you're doing to me so dream on

You can cross
your heart and still be lyin'
You can count the reasons
why you've thrown it away
You can dream your life away
without me
But you'll never know
how much i needed you

You can laugh at me
because i'm crying
You can tell your friends how much
I begged you to stay
You can live your fantasy without me
But you'll never know
how much i needed you
Dream on
It's so easy for you
Though i'm broken in two dream on
Dream on
You can never see
What you're doin' to me so dream on
Dream on
Though it's hard to tell
Though you're foolin' yourself
dream on
Dream on

Hey, you, who are you talkin' to
Hey, boy, haven't you heard the news
No one can fight more than these boys
No one can bite more than these boys

Hey, hose, who do you want to know
Hey, punk, get off my case and go
No one can fix more than these boys
No one can kick more than these boys

The boys in the band

You can back down
Yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time to close your face

Hey, now, what have you got that's new
Come on boy what are you trying to prove
No one can take more than these boys
'Cause no one can shake more than these boys

The boys in the band

You can break down
Yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time that you knew your place

Come on break down
'Cause yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time to close your face
