Come along take a ride with me
By the old swimming pool
Let the junction fall away
Climb the hill the Bingo Hall
Past the Pub
Where the old people drink
Round a wobbly pool table
Where the balls never sink
Past the garden where the kids all play
We can hide away hide away
Come up onto top deck
Peak through the nets
And crook up your neck
We’ll weave through the old market stalls,
Pedestrians and vehicles
See the girl
Hanging out her whites
Frilly knickers and holey tights.
Past the garden where the kids all play
We can hide away hide away
Come along take a ride
Plenty of room down inside
Past the OAP’s and Expectant Mothers
To the seat at the back
That’s reserved for lovers
I’ll be the Big Chief
You be Cheyenne Sue
Make way the Indians comin’ through
All aboard...........tickets please
oh ........we left the junction
gonna take you down to the Congo

That girl’s a Jaguar - who? - I ain’t tellin’ you
That girl’s a Jaguar - who? - I ain’t tellin’ you
She’s a Jaguar. She’s a fast car
She’s rollin’ down the road
She’s a Jaguar. She’s a fast car
That’s a car you ain’t going to own
That girl’s a Ally Cat - who? - I ain’t tellin’ you That
That girl’s a Ally Cat - who? - I ain’t tellin’ you That
She’s a Ally Cat. Hides down the alley with a baseball bat
She’s hanging out for you
She’s a Ally Cat. Beat you to death with a baseball bat
That’s one cat you don’t want to see
That girl’s a Tigress - who? - You’re gonna have to guess
That girl’s a Tigress - who? - You’re gonna have to guess
She’s a Tigress. Eight miles better than all the rest
She’s hanging out for me
She’s a Tigress. Got my name tattooed on her chest
That’s one thing you ain’t going to see
Hey Nick you going to tell me who she is? - No
Is she the girl with the high crotch stitch? - No
Is she the girl with the long brown hair? - No
I seen her everywhere? - No
Is she the girl with the deep blue eyes? - No
Is she the girl with the thunder thighs? - No
Is she the girl walking by my side? - No
You going to tell me?
No! No! No! No!

Soho
Since this town is empty
Nothing seems the same
Rise out the ground
Like a phoenix from the flame
Ride the escalator the rumble of a train
Piccadilly punters shelter from the rain
Oh stop that traffic
Oh stop that time
Hold this moment forever
Eternally mine.
Better watch your blood pressure
Mr Seersucker Slacks
Get yourself a heart-attack
Down on that meat rack
With the day-tripping moth-men
Getting drawn towards the light
Of the university
Of the mysteries of the night.
Oh stop that traffic
Oh stop that time
Hold this moment forever
Eternally mine.
Soundtrack be Bacharach
Pavement be my stage
Alleys full of dandy boys
Peacocks on parade
And side shoe Suzie’s
Hair-raising escapades
Blue lights in the gutter
No one move
It’s a RAID!

Buckfast Ferry
Well I set sail for the island
I was slinging it down my neck
Took me the whole night arriving
Got there they couldn’t scrape me off the deck
Harbour Man said ‘better rope him down
If he don’t sober up
That sailors gonna drown’.......I almost drowned
So I headed of to the Mountain
Stopping at a still to pick up fuel
Took me the whole day arriving
Got there I couldn’t tell a man from a mule
Mountain Man said ‘no bed or board
We don’t take drunks
Now we found the Lord’.......Hallelujah
Well I found my self a steam boat in the valley
Where gambling and drinkin’ is fair game
Took me my whole life arriving
Now Captain Buckfast’s my name
Yeah Captain Buckfast’s my name...Better believe it
I got Gamblin’ Girls, Roulette Wheels
Come on in, I’ll cut and deal,
Get your ticket at the door now
I’m about to sail
Pullin’ up the gangplank
I’m about to sail

I’m a Man
If I was the ocean, and you were a boat
I’d stay calm so you could stay afloat
If I was the howling wind
And you, you were the trees.
I’d rock you up gently, girl.
Now dance on my breeze
But I’m not the ocean I’m a man
I’ll have to do what I can
Shout your name in the street
Come on look at me
Come on turn your head
I know you wanna see me.
If I was the fire and were the machine
I’d heat up your boiler, give you a head of steam
You were my locomotive,
Rollin’ on down my track
I’d only sell up one way tickets
Cos now there be no turning back.
But I’m not fire I’m a man
I’ll have to do what I can
Shout your name in the street
Come on look at me, girl!
I can see you pretending to look in to a shop
But there’s nothing you want more than me.
If I was an elevator and you were the top floor
I’d go right up to the top
And never ever shut my door
If I was an elevator and you were my top floor
I’d go right up to the top
And never ever shut my door
But I’m not elevator I’m a man
I’ll have to do what I can

Fu Manchu
You can run and you can hide
There’s no place that he can’t find.
You can run and you can hide
He’s a criminal mastermind
He’s got eyes in every street
They don’t rest and they don’t sleep
He’s got ears in every wall
Cos he’s a master criminal
He wears no mask he’s got no cloak
Just long moustache and dragon smoke
You can run and you can hide
He’ll turn up and give you a surprise
He’s got eyes in every street
They don’t rest and they don’t sleep
He’s got ears in every wall
Cos he’s a master criminal
There’s a girl in old Shanghai
Kill a man with a blink of an eye
Don’t fall in love what every you do
That’s the daughter of Fu Manchu
He’s got eyes in every street
They don’t rest and they don’t sleep
He’s got ears in every wall
Cos he’s a master criminal
Who? Who? Fu Manchu

Pump Pump
I ain’t got nothing
I got nothing but seed
My heart is pumping
Blood around me
And I got love pumping in those veins
My heart is makin’ me feel insane
Pump Pump... Pump... Pump Pump
Went to the river but the river was dry
Got my money and I wanna get high
You keep me waiting, keep me waiting on you
Stone river .... I’m wading through
Pump Pump... Pump... Pump Pump
I ain’t got nothing
But nothing to lose
I’m built out on love
From my head to my shoes
Heart sends love running round my veins
The love for you will make a man insane
Pump Pump... Pump... Pump Pump
Went to the river but the river was dry
I’m so thirsty I’m not ready to die
I lie down in the stony bed
Stone River.. Running through my head
Pump Pump... Pump... Pump Pump

Milestones
On a hill above a brook
Overlooking stony miles
I see the roads I should of took
Since the days I was a child
My actions and my deeds
No longer look my own
The fruit from the seed
I have cast in stone
Milestone
Your my rock.
Your my stone.
Like a ship without a sail
Heading out to the stormy water
When my navigation fails
You lead me to your harbour
Like the golden rays of sunshine
Light up each and every day
These mild mannered milestones
clearly mark my way
Milestone
Your my rock.
Your my stone

Scarecrow
Me and Johnny Pockets
Someplace in the Blue
Bob Squash was rocking
Must of had a few
His jaw had gone to jelly
His head was not in gear
Put his hands on my shoulders
And whispered in my ear
Don’t be a scarecrow
Standing in a field
Watching people going by
I ain’t made of hay
Up piped Pockets
Propping up the bar
If you wanna get out this field
You gotta find out who you are
Some people are looked upon
Others they are seen
Some people overlooked
Others they are keen
Don’t be an innocent bystander
And watch time go by
Don’t be an innocent bystander
And watch your time go bye bye bye
Well the cut upon my cloth
My not be to your style
My manner may be coarse
My language juvenile
My egimacation not be from your school
But what ever I am you can not
Take me for a fool
I ain’t a scarecrow
Standing in a field
Watching people going by
I ain’t made a no hey

The Moon
Some folk they like the day time
They like to soak up the rays
Some folk they like the night time
They like to sleep all day
My girl’s the latter
She’s the apple of my eye
She’s a late riser
Up in the midnight sky
Coz my girl’s the moon
Well I can navigate the oceans wide
With no chart by my side
And use no compass as my guide
Coz I sail for the moon
Her light skips across the waves
Her silver’s touch is what I crave
Her song can wake a man from his grave
And I dance for the moon
Coz my girl’s the moon
Make me wanna howl
Make me wanna holler

It’s a sad situation
Leave it all to me imagination
It’s a sad situation
Leave it all to me imagination
I’m gonna love you
Night and day
Hey Sweet Jane
You’re doing it to me again
Hey Sweet Jane
You’re doing it to me again
It’s a sad situation
Leave it all to me imagination
It’s a sad situation
Leave it all to me imagination
I’m gonna love you
Night and day
You’re giving me the hunger - hunger
You’re giving me the hunger - hunger
You’re giving me the hunger - hunger
You’re giving me the hunger - hunger
I’m gonna love you child.........

Rusty Rails
Some like the freedom of the rollin’ hills
Some like the ocean with the wind in their sails
Big wind comin’ bringing rain and hail
Gonna ride through the tunnel on the rusty rails
They built their trolley of wood and steel
An 8 by 4 riding 6 inch wheels
Climb on board now, see how it feels
Gonna ride through the tunnel on the rusty rails
Some like the freedom of the rollin’ hills
Some like the ocean with the wind in their sails
Big wind comin’ bringing rain and hail
Gonna ride through the tunnel on the rusty rails

Indian Jail House
They put me in to the jail house
Put me down on a hard stone floor
They put me into the cage
I felt like I never felt before
They put me up before the judge
And he took away my name
They put me in the back of a black car
And slowly drove me away
So if you ever find yourself down in a jail house
Laying on those hard stones I lay
Remember I lay there before you
But now I stand here today

You all heard about Big John
Big as a man can be
He might be twice my size
He’s half as man as me
I’m the Daddy
Daddy Rollin’ Stone
Daddy Daddy Daddy Daddy
Daddy Rollin’
You may not of heard of me in your city
You may not of heard of me on your farm
But I know you’ll be callin’ my name
Way before I come
I’m the Daddy
Daddy Rollin’
Daddy Rollin’
