"Waiting For The Judgement Day"
1989 Space Songs

Can you hear the sound of thunder ?
Well, there's a storm outside the door.
You can pretend this cloud you're under, is just a shadow on the floor.
Won't you tell me what you're doin', do you know what lies ahead ?
I can see there's trouble brewin', cause there's a storm inside your head.

Waiting for the judgement day to come !
Take a look around, it's just begun.
Nowhere you can hide, nowhere to run
Waiting for the judgement day to come.

It's the same old situation, slipping deeper down the hole.
Just a little aggravation, burning way out of control.
There's no room for speculation, no exception to the rule,
Don't exceed your expectation, 'cause there's no one left to fool.

Waiting for the judgement day to come !
Take a look around, it's just begun.
Nowhere you can hide, nowhere to run
Waiting for the judgement day to come.

Got to find a new solution, the problem stays the same.
Better fight to stop this world polution, ever flowing to your brain.
It's the same old situation, must've seen it all before.
We expect your resignation, but they're coming back for more.

Waiting for the judgement day, waiting for the judgemeny day,
Waiting for the judgement day to come.



"Wake Up Moma"
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.

Wake up Moma, chase my blues away
I said wake up Moma, take my blues away
It's 2 o'clock in the morning
And I've had a busy day

Wake up Babe, I need a little company
Wake up Babe, just need some company
The blues got me so bad
I'm in misery

Wake up Babe, before the night is gone
I said wake up Babe, before the night is gone
You're a real good woman
But you sleep too long

Wake up Moma, time to rise and shine
Wake up Moma, it's time to rise and shine
You make love to me so good baby
Make me feel so fine



"Wild Is The River"
1989 Space Songs

I don't need a hurricane blowin', to tell me there's a storm around.
I don't need no chain around my neck, to tell me that I'm all tied down.
All I needed was a little satisfaction, tryin' to put me back on the track.
What I get is a typical reaction, for me there'll be no turnin' back.

Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

I don't need a telegram to tell me, I got the message long ago.
I have seen the writing on the wall, telling me it's time to go.
I don't need it spelled out to the letter,
To tell me that I'm on the wrong track.
All I know is that a chance is for the better,
There'll never be no turnin' back.

Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

I don't need a preacher here to show me,
Or tell me where I'm going wrong.
I don't need no money in my jeans,
"Cause I know that I'll get along.
All I know, a change is surely comin',
Gonna turn your world around.
Watching as the river is a -flowin',
Listen and you'll hear the sound.

Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.



"Without You"
1974 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

Without you, could-n't start the day, babe;
Without you - I would-n't stand a chance,
Without you - the sky would be so grey, babe.
I just want to be within you, close enough to feel within you.

Without you - I'm crawling on all fours;
Without you - the room has got no doors.
Without you - the stars don't seem to shine, girl;
Without you - it seems so hard to smile;
Without you - my life don't seem so fine, girl.
Just because I really love you, I want you to know I love you.

Without you - no reason I can see for living.
Without you - there's nothing left to me for giving.
Without you - I cannot smile no more;
Without you - I'm left flat on the floor
Without you - the days would be too sad to handle.
Without you - my life is just a burned out candle.

Without you - the days would be too sad for living.
Without you - there's nothing left for giving.
Without you - all the minutes pass me by like hours.
Without you - I'm just like a grave without the flowers.
Without you.



"Woman Trouble"
1969 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

Woman trouble always in my life;
Got a babe but she'll never be my wife, 'cause I know,
Yes, I know,
When she got you, man you're never lettin' go.

You see her in the street with the sparklin' eyes;
Don't forget that she knows how to cry, 'cause you know,
Yes, I know,
When she got you, man you're never lettin' go.

She says, baby, that we'll never fight;
I know I'm gonna treat you right.
You won't be lonely, this I know.
There's a time when woman have got to go.

Woman trouble always on my mind,
My kind of woman I'll never find, 'cause I know,
Yes, I know,
When she got you, man they're never lettin' go.



"Working On The Road"
1970 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

I've been workin' on the road 'bout fifteen years,
Been blowin' my mind, I've been blasting my ears,
Don't you know, babe ?
I've been sleepin' all day, and workin' all night,
I made a lot of money but it don't feel right.
Don't you know, babe ?

Well I've got a feelin' for home,
Somewhere that I call my own.

Well, I seen the world and it's seen me;
Strange kind of way - I guess I'm free.
Don't you know, babe ?
Well I've seen it bad and I've seen it good,
But now I want to clear my blood.
Don't you know, babe ?

Well I've got a feelin' for home,
Somewhere that I call my own.
Take me home babe.

Well I tried to live the way I should,
I've shed some tears and sweated blood.
Don't you know, babe ?
And I think it's time I took a break
'Cause I have took all I can take.
Don't you know, babe ?

Well I've got a feelin' for home,
Somewhere that I call my own.
I'm comin' home, won't-cha come on home ?



"World Is Spinning Faster"
1978 Space Songs Ltd.

World is spinnin' faster
I can take the pace
Try and be your master
And that's the human race

I don't want to fight no more,
I'll just lay down on the floor
I don't wanna sleep my life away,
You can win or lose it anyway
I won't play the games,
You want to play no more

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
It seems my life is just a dream
Energy flow just like a dream
To search and think just where it runs
And I will take it as it comes

World is spinnin' faster
It's changin' far to fast
Try to be your master
Well then, could it last

I don't want to fight no more,
I'll just lay down on the floor
I don't wanna sleep my life away,
I just wanna take what comes my way
I don't need a rope beside me anymore

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'
Now I must search to find the clue
And in God's deepness I half-knew
And now I need not search no more
Cause I can go to any door

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin'



Why Did You Do It
(2003 Space Songs)

Well I bought you a house and a diamond brush
why did you leave me in such a rush
tell me why did you do it, why did you do it
why did you do ti, why did you run away

Well I bought you a washer and a power drill
why did you go and leave me still
baby why did you do it, baby why did you do ti
why did you do it, why did you take my car

Well why did you do it, why did you do it
why did you do it, baby why did you do it
why did you do it, why did you run away
(run away from me)

Got a Swedish maid and a French au pair
baby just to show you that I care
so why did you do it baby, why did you do it
why did you do it, why did you run away

You got a credit card and a brand new van
why did you go chase another man
baby why did you do it, baby why did you do it
why did you do it, why did you run away

Well you can't go back, you can't go back in time
yeah you can't go back, can't go back in time
just like dirty washing
you leave me hanging on the line (rock on)

Well you can't go back
you can't go back in time
yeah you can't go back,
can't go back in time
just like dirty washing
you leave me hanging on the line (rock on)

Well why did you do it, why did you do it
tell me why did you do it
baby why did you do it
why did you do it
why did you run away
(run away from me one more time)
