Shake It Up! 02:03
lyrics

You're holding the smoking gun You can't get up off the floor I knew that you'd lost the touch To orchestrate your last big score Shake it up, rip it up Take it out, shake it up Baby I'm not surprised I knew it would come to this When you've got nothing left I know that you can't resist Shake it up, rip it up Take it out, shake it up Just like a lightening rod Balanced on a house of cards Dancing on an oil slick Do a rhumba on Cuban rum Shake it up, rip it up Take it out, shake it up Shake it up!

Drinking all night Got into a fight But he had it coming Since the day he learned to talk I've got time time time Time time time Getting into trouble 'Cause of too much time on my hands I try to do something Constructive or good But everything I do Winds up misunderstood I've got time time time Time time time Getting into trouble 'Cause of too much time on my hands Since my girl left me I've got time to kill But I'm spending too much Just trying to get my thrills I've got time time time Time time time Getting into trouble 'Cause of too much time on my hands Night time, day time Coffee and wine Everywhere I look I've got too much time Sooner or later Time's gonna run out Then I'll have nothing To complain about I've got time time time Time time time Getting into trouble 'Cause of too much time on my hands

A little bit of this and a little bit of that Mix it all together till it's sweet and sour Little bit of good and a little bit of bad Little bit of getting and a little bit of had Got to take it all With the ticking of the time bomb clock Combination special Gotta get it while it's hot Take it easy baby we've still got time To wash it all down with some cheap red wine Got to take it all With the ticking of the time bomb clock Combination special Got to get it while it's hot

Spin It Out 02:00

You've got to spin it out You've got to tell me what it's all about You've got to spin it right off the road Kick up the dust and flip it over Put it right in your face Put you in your place Turn on and baby don't look back Before you give yourself a little heart attack You've got to spin it out You've got to tell me what it's all about You can't have my guts for garters If I haven't got the guts You can't end before you start The pretend to be a glut I feel like Steve McQueen Acting seventeen Surrounded by the blob and the disbelieving mob You've got to spin it out You've got to teel me what it's all about Put it right into space Find a brand new place Turn on and baby don't look back Before you give yourself A little heart attack You've got to spin it out You've got to tell me what it's all about

Who have you been fooling All this time I guess I know the answer - it's me Who was deaf dumb and almost blind I can see enough to see - it's me But I know, yes I know That it's also you And your bitches' brew Who's the shoo fly Caught in the web Poisoned by the spider - it's me Who couldn't read the lines Between what was said Might as well have been deaf - it's me But I know, yes I know That it's also you So 1,2,3,4 - you want some more? I'm gonna give it to you! I know, yes I know That it's also you, and me That's the end of my story You and me

Train Train Train 01:53

It looks like this is our seat Sit it down and hold on fast Gonna open up a bottle And it ain't gonna be my last When the wind starts blowing Going to rock this train You'll think you're drinking salt water And going insane Rain beating down on the window pane You think you're going of the rails But you're only in a train And it's gonna be a long night Hold on tight when you Try to read your number under little red lights Looks like this is our seat So we'd better order up some beer It's going to be a long journey in the night So let me whisper in your ear I ain't got nothing to do or nothing to say You can take it how you like Any old way Just don't wake me up Till we hit that station 'Cause this train ain't gonna Rock us into relaxation And I plan to drink myself into slumber With a last minute trying to Figure out my number It looks like this is our place Looks like a funny look on your face Was it not what you were expecting Something not to your taste 'Cause when you hand in your ticket And you pass on through You catch a glimpse in the morror Looking back at you And it's not a pretty picture Seems to show the years When you speak your voice Ain't music to the ears We're all on the same train Feeling the same pain In the same frame of mind Just passing time Train train train Keeps roling all night long...

Burn 03:25

You should have been a cloud Because you cry all the time You did your best To put out my fire But I can still Burn down your whole world You had me down to coals Smoking badly But now your tears are petrol The more they fall The more my flames will get you So burn baby burn

Bangkok Happy Hour 03:21
lyrics

Woke up this morning And everything was wrong My head felt just a Eurovision song Didn't know if I was facing north or south Fried fish in my pocket And a kitten in my mouth Felt like a street dog Eating gravy and dirt Going bus break crazy With rain for dessert I've got the Bangkok Blues Rum and coconut juice I think I'd better drink Before the city sinks Soaked to my shoes but dry inside Motorpsycho nightmare it's a hell of a ride Dodging through the traffic Down the slippery slope Get me to the bar before you get me broke I've got the Bangkok blues Rum and coconut juice I think I'd better drink Before this city sinks TV eye screaming down from the sky Gimme a drink!
