Nazareth Album

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

His necktie is bright red
From lookin' in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
He's got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewin' on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing

I know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonight

Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border

The rendezvous was neutral
He don't want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said,"No way I've had mine"
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some Cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion

I know that your oil is black
But the dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonight

Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border

Bright red went to his head
Tequila tension rising

This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a
Nervous disposition

Tanned man from the f.e.d.'s
Cool mohair buying off the squeeze

Showdown at the border

Everyone says connection is easy
I look at my score, experience none
Tossed a coin when I was seventeen
I got the ice, you got the cream
All that you see is stanger than fiction
All that you do defies all description
And you worry about your lack of existence

Then by all means go crazy

Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys

One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin' would be alright.

Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah
His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean
With mass consultation, a blind congregation
His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene
Correspondence, the back of a sin rag
If this is deliverence, life is a drag
Searchin' salvation, your sightlines get hazy
You got it right,go crazy.

Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys

One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin' would be alright.
Or maybe you'll go crazy.

Go out and have your habit,
Keep on takin' it
Keep on fakin' it
You're the one whose heart grows cold
You're the one whose heart's grown cold.

Go out and have your habit
You're the one that's takin' it
You're the one that's fakin' it
You're the one whose heart's grown cold
You're the one whose heart's grown cold.

I touch your lips with my fingertips
I hang on every breath you take
You don't need me like,
I need you
You have your heartaches to climb
Everyday, I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still have,
That you still have your dreams.

Come down and tell me that it's better
You're the one who's choosin' it
You're the one who's losin' it
You're the one who's got no soul,
You're the one whose heart's grown cold.

(Cleminson)

Fast cars,
She lives at the best hotels

Big stars,
She knows them all so well

Lost loves,
She's had more than just a few

Wrong moves,
She can afford more than you

She don't know, what real love is
She's always had, second best
She don't know, what real love is
She's always had second best.

Headlines,
She's been there once or twice

Feeling fine
She has forgotten the price

She don't know, what real love is
She's always had second best
She don't know, what real love is
She's always had second best.

A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel
With a smile on his face
The school kids would give me some gin
If I would let them in
They were shaking all over

Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm
Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own
Can't remember where I'd been
I was aching all over
From rolling on the stone
I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone.

Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy

Kissin' cousins just ain't my style
Not like some knight in shining armour
Touring with the sideshow
That was my blow
But we hung on for the fun
Lots of fun for everyone

Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy

Till the danger man with his danger plan
He took me aside
And then he took me apart
I was a young man with love in my heart
Oh, how he made me pay
It was the hard way
It was the hard way

Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy
Ooh, what a night!

You got lines guaranteed to please
You got stories you got boyfriends to tease
Money to burn
You got everythin' you need
Clever girl, never girl

Talkin' 'bout love

Rio de Janeiro on your daddy's card
Party invitations you don't find it hard
Lovers to burn
Matches in your book
Cruiser girl, user girl

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout you and me
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love

That's what you get
When your heart's on fire for me
That's what you get
When your love's for hire

Penthouse suite
Dance and never stop
What's the matter
Don't 'cha wanna be on top
Nothin' to learn
Everythin' to lose
Lover girl, cover girl.

If you've never had no one
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you never been no where
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you've ever been lonely
Take the word of a fallen angel

You know you're not the first to fall
And you know you won't be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one who's gonna crash.

When you think you can't go on
Look around for a fallen angel
When you feel you're the lost one
Look around for a fallen angel
When you're hurtin' for someone
Look around for a fallen angel

You know you're not the first to fall
And you know you won't be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one who's gonna crash

Don't you think it's time to show
Don't you think it's time we know
What's in your heart

There's a lesson to be learned
Take the word of a fallen angel
There's a song for every heart
Take the word of a fallen angel
When you find out where you are
Don't you know you're a fallen angel
If you've never had no one.

Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams

And I
I only exist to believe
The stars
The stars that I see watching me

Hold me close
Your arms and your love comfort me
The sea
Is deep and it waits endlessly
Oh why
To give just to take it from me

Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And I
I watch for a sign constantly
The sea
Is deep and it waits ceaselessly.

Dragged up, raised tough
Born a mistake
Learned fast the golden rule
Never give, just take
Did no favors, gave no quarter
You all know the story 'bout
The lamb's broadway slaughter.

Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf

Street wise, cat's eye's
Showbusiness smile
Lookin' for today's mark
On the golden mile
Book wise, movie eyed
So cool dudes.
Ain't gonna do no talking
When they find out they been used.

Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf

Got to make some time
Go through the changes
My whole life needs some rearrangin'

Self styled reject
Ambitious wisher
Also ran life style
Guaranteed user, like a,
Campaign promise from a three time loser
Got to make my move soon
Because, beggars can't be choosers,
So I'm,

Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
