COWBOY HAT
Well my car just died and my girl she's a brat
my bank account's thin and my debts are fat
I lost my job I hit my boss
my neighbours cats just killed my dog
Well east is east and west is west
right is right and left is left
just when I think my life's goin' to crap
Damn I look good in a cowboy hat!
Well the doctor says I gotta stop havin' fun
I'm so flat broke I gotta pawn my guns
I wake up in the night in a cold cold sweat
my roof is a leakin and my bed's all wet
'Cause day is day and night is night
Some wear it low and some wear it high
Just when I think my life's goin' to crap
Damn I look good in a cowboy hat!
Have me a shower a shot and a shave
all dressed up and I'm ready to rave
I scream into the mirror "I'm gonna rock tonight!"
but I got to put my hat on to make me feel right... to make me feel right
Love can be friendly love can be cruel
Love can make an old man act like a fool
Love can make everybody lonely at night
but there's just one thing that's got me goin' right
Like city is city and town is town
Some wear it up and some where it down
Just when I think my life's going to crap
Damn I look good in a cowboy hat!
Because east is east and west is west
Bad is bad and best is best
Just when I think my life's goin' to crap
Damn I look good in a cowboy hat!
Damn I look good in a cowboy hat!
Damn I look good in this cowboy!
Cowboy hat tonight
Come on girl let's go out dancin'

COOL CORNER
Cool corner, corner of love
fun is her game she's sent from heaven above
Now if she likes what she sees she just might catch your eye
pull your heart strings tighter make you glad you're alive
Cool corner
Cool corner, corner of love
Cool corner life is a ball
kick it down the street and watch those little boys fall
She says what she means there ain't no room for no doubt
if she likes you you're in and if she don't you're out
Cool corner
Cool corner, corner of love
Cool corner, cool corner
Cool corner
She lives in a cool corner river run to the sea
where everything is magic such a cool place to be
The sky the moon her first day in June
she sees a little bit more than most people do
Cool corner
Cool corner, corner of love
Cool corner, cool corner
Cool corner
In her cool cool corner life's moving fast
don't worry 'bout the future ain't got time for the past
Ain't got time for the past
Cool corner
Cool corner, corner of love
Cool corner, cool corner
Cool corner

MIGHT AS WELL BE ON MARS
Sunday morning with the New York Times
sun is shining in my penthouse suite
My valet's laying out some lines
they reach from Copa Beach to Easystreet
Before the mirror you apply your cream
cosmetic secret of eternal youth
Is something the matter no it's just a bad dream
I know you'd leave me if you knew the truth
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
Only the stars mean anything to you
Monday night another day goes by
your voice is telling me that life is sweet
You watch your star flash into the sky
and fall to earth again on Easystreet
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
Only the stars mean anything to you
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
I'm already that far away from you
We lead such a sweet existence
and I'm reaching out to you in vain
Your disappearing in the distance
of this alien terrain
Sunday morning with the New York Times
sun is shining in my penthouse suite
My valet's laying out some lines
Miami Beach to Easystreet
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
Only the stars mean anything to you
I might as well be on Mars
I might as well be on Mars
I'm already that far away from you
I'm already that far away from you
I'm already that far away from you

PEOPLE ON THE BEACH
Oh the madman who writes the code in the sand is becoming a permanent fixture
Seagulls fly, land in the sand their footprints read like Scripture
They say something, something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?
Oh and the clown he gestures to the waves as they dance upon the shore
Smokestacks tower like temples above as the waves begin to roar
They say something, something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?
Yeah they say something something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?
Ah the wind sounds like a warning of war in some forgotten speech
Spoken by that madman to the people on the beach
People on the beach say there's no one in the sky
yet each wave seems to reach for those that pass it by
Fish come swimming in upside down
their bellies read like scripture
They say something something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?
It's hot outside, nobody goes in the water
What's wrong with this picture?
People on the beach no one in the water

CATS
Cheaper than a television, quieter than a radio
All day all night vision, they can see you wherever you go
Cats are smart they don't take no jive
Cats are lucky they got nine lives
Cats are down in history
Cats are a mystery to me.......Cats
Surrounded with superstition, secrets we want to know
Pleasure in life their mission, just like some people I know
Cats are in my garbage can
On their feet they always land
You can't tell 'em what to do
They don't need me and they don't need you......Cats
Where do they come from?
Where do they go?
Where do they come from?
Who do they know?
Cheaper than a television quieter than a radio
Pleasure in life their mission, just like some people I know....Cats
Cats are in my comic strip, cat commercials make me sick, you can't tell 'em what to do, they don't need me and they don't need you
Just like some people I know
Cats are smart they don’t take no jive, cats are lucky they've got nine lives, cats are in my comic strip, cat commercials make me sick!
Cats are in my garbage can, on their feet they always land, you can't tell 'em what to do, they don't need me and they don't need you
Just like some people I know
Big old hairballs on my couch….Cats

HOLLYWOOD WORLD
A little bit fat
A little bit old
A little bit bald don't fit the mould
You've got a hope in hell of of making it
A hope in hell of making it
A hope in hell
in this Hollywood World today
A little bit shy
A little bit loud
A little too short don't like the crowd
You've got a hope in hell of of making it
A hope in hell of making it
A hope in hell
in this Hollywood World today
It ain’t how you sound it's how you look
well you can’t judge a play or movie by the book
I don’t give a damn about the way I look in your head
A little bit loose
A little bit tight
A little bit funky well that's all right
You've got a hope in hell of of making it
A hope in hell of making it
A hope in hell
in this Hollywood World today
It ain’t what you gave it's what you took
well you can’t judge a play or movie by the book
I don’t give a damn about the way I look in your head
A little bit loose
A little bit tight
A little bit funky well that's all right
You've got a hope in hell of of making it
A hope in hell of making it
A hope in hell
in this Hollywood World today
Well It ain’t how you sound it’s how you look
and you can’t judge a play or movie by the book
I don’t give a damn about the way I look in your head
In this Hollywood World today….
It’s not easy being in this Hollywood world.
A little out of the mould, a little shy of the mould.
Maybe I’m just overpowering the mould a little bit.
I’ll just try to skinny up, that’s right Skinny up, I’m almost in, I think I’m in..…..

SLOW SONG
Well I came to this dance with just one thing in mind
hoping in my heart I could catch your eye
Rehearsing in my head what I'm going to do
walk across the floor and up to you
and ask if you’ll have this dance with me tonight
That's why I'm gonna wait till the band plays the slow song
The kinda song that lets me get up close to you
Hold your hand, feel your hair on my face
Close my eyes this is the only place
I want to be here dancing slow with you
Well let the others have the fast songs I don’t care about that
Jumpin' up-and-down like an acrobat
I want to hold you close, try not to step on your toes
whisper in your ear how great you look in those clothes
I’m gonna hold out till it all comes down to two... just me and you
That's why I'm gonna wait till the band plays the slow song
The kinda song that lets me get up close to you
Hold your hand, feel your hair on my face
Close my eyes this is the only place
I want to be here dancing slow with you
Well I came to this dance with just one thing in mind
I know it’s gonna come, the last song of the night
Well my knees are shakin' and my hands are wet
I'm gonna ask you to dance and I'll pray you say yes
The magic of the slow song gonna help me win your heart tonight
That's why I'm gonna wait till the band plays the slow song
The kinda song that lets me get up close to you
Hold your hand, feel your hair on my face
Close my eyes this is the only place
I want to be here dancing slow with you
Well my daddy told me that’s how he won my mom
dancing to the slow song at the senior prom
and I’m hoping that this slow song's gonna do the same to you
yes I'm hoping that this slow song's gonna do the same to you

TILL I LOST YOU
In the morning when I wake up
At night when I go to bed
I can see your face, I hear your voice
oh so clearly in my head
Well I heard them on the radio, I saw them on the news
But I never knew the blues till I lost you
I can feel you in my heart
Your perfume is in the air
Your breath is all around me
On my on my face I feel your hair
Well I heard them on the radio, I saw them on the news
But I never knew the blues till I lost you
Well I can feel your gentle touch
Your laughter fills the room
In the morning when I wake up
At night time when I go to bed
I can see your face, I hear your voice
oh so clearly in my head
Well I heard them on the radio, I saw them on the news
But I never knew the blues till I lost you
You know that I heard them on the radio, I saw them on the news
But I never, no I never knew the blues till I lost you

GOOD BOYS GO INSANE
When I was just a little boy I was taught to do what I should
Obey your parents don’t be bad, behave yiourself for good
Well I tried I tried I did my best as they beat my body and brain
but deep inside I knew the truth that...
Good boys go
Good boys go
Good boys go insane
For years I wore the hairy suit, I bowed I bowed and I bowed
Yes sir no sir three bags full, the feelings drove me wild
Well the good boys keep their hair slicked down but it affects their brains
Sometimes they talk and you can hear when they laugh that…
Good boys go
Good boys go
Good boys go insane
And there ain't no cure
because it eight recognized
These people are lunatics
You can see it in their eyes
Now you see that lovely couple they're, the ones with the baby and herb
They have both behaved themselves, now they got this house in the burbs
And the boy does what they want him to do
or they smack his ass with a cane
They spark up a scud and they turn on the tube and
Good boys go
Good boys go
Good boys go insane
And there ain't no cure
because it eight recognized
These people are lunatics
You can see it in their eyes
Good boys go
Good boys go
Good boys go insane
Good boys go
Good boys go
Good boys go insane
