D-DU-UDU
In  the morning  where’s all the pain
 The same place the fame  straight to your head
 Ah, it’s not easy getting  it out my head
 It wasn’t easy getting  out my bed
 So much shame on the workman  who blames his tools
 Then so the saying  goes so it’s said
 The way you tease me, tease  me outta my head
 Ah, its not easy forgetting  what you said
 I know you used to be into me
 Now you've got it in for me
In  the morning  where does all the pain
 The same place the fame  straight to your head
 It wasn't easy getting  you out my head
 Ah, its too easy getting  out my head
 Given up trying  to explain  I'll just put  it in a song instead
 Ah, it's not easy getting  outta bed
 It’s too easy getting  outta my head,  my  head, my  head
I  know where to find,  where to find you my  love
 At the same old place by the river the only way in is
 through the window  Is through the window

 8. French Dog Blues
 -, x1
,  x2
,  x5
I  model lacklustre panicky  in vain search for the remedy
No  words only melody come  so I  take the day
Off  my love, my love, she sits with me,  I love, I love her company
Raindrops  on roses  and dust-filled trinkets
So,  this washes over  you
French  dog blues
Chien bleu chien  franzosischershund
And  the French dog  blues
And  the French dog  blues
And  the French dog  blues
Never  surrender to flattery,  Frown on, come down on duplicity
 And above  all things my son…  take the money  and
Run  I still model lacklustre panicky  in vain search for the remedy
No  words only melody came,  take another  day
Off  Ohhhhhh, this washes over  you
French  dog blues
 Chien  bleu  chien franzosischershund
 Yeah, I see you
I  only ever wanted the one  with the flag
All  you ever wanted was a 60  dollar bag
 And a cheap  limousine for your deep  pile dreams on the highway
 The highway, highway, ohhh
Chien bleu  franzosischershund
And  the French dog  blues
And  the French dog  blues
And  the French dog  blues
And  the French dog
 9. There She Goes
I  do declare  I was surprised  to see you stay
 only to be betrayed  by the one you gave  all your love and trust  to
tell  me how could I let  go
Since  I caught a glimpse  of your immense  soul
 You were dancing  to northern soul
 Just one glance,  and well you know...
There  she goes a little heartache
There  she goes a little  pain
 Make no  mistake, she sheds her  skin like a snake
 On the dirty road  to fame,  dirty road to fame  my love now,
Oh  There she goes a little heartache
There  she goes a little  pain
 Make no  mistake she sheds her  skin like a snake
 You're going to  walk the  plank again,  walk the plank  again my love now
I  was to implore
you  forget all you saw
 When you came through my  door and from your  bag
 pulled out more skag  than I'd ever  seen
No!  how could I let  go?
Since  I caught a glimpse  of your white plimsoles
 Twisting and turning  to northern soul
 Just once glance,  ah well you  know,
 Everybody knows
There  she goes a little heartache
There  she goes a little  pain
 Make no  mistake, she sheds her  skin like a snake
 On the dirty road  to fame,  dirty road to fame  my love now,
Oh  There she goes a little heartache
There  she goes a  little pain
 Make no  mistake she sheds her  skin like a snake
 You're going to  walk the  plank again,  walk the plank  again my love now
There  she goes a little,  there she,  there she,  there she goes

E------------------| x4 then with:
Baddie’s  bound by ancient codes of decency  and secrecy
He  understands about stabbin’  backs and shaking hands
 So if  or when you’re behind bars or  in front of them as you are
Look  out for the man who’ll bum  your wife and then shake your hand
 Oh  you’ve been here before,  you fell in love  & carried her over the threshold
 Thinking, she’s  far too good looking  to do the cooking
Now,  but that’s twenty years ago...twenty  years ago
It’s  a lousy life for the washed up wife  of a permanently plastered,pissed  up
Bastard  alousy life for the washed up wifeof  a permanently plasterd  pissed up
Bastard  alousy life for the washed up wifeof  a permanently plasterd  pissed up
Bastard  Lousy life, a  lousy life
Kids  was singing will I ever  be free, does this  town hold no more  for me
 Club Tropicana  the  drinks are free, stick one in his face for me
Baddies bound  baddie boogie  to decency  and secrecy
Baddies bound  baddie boogie
 Oh you’ve been  here before, you fell in love & carried her over the threshold
 Thinking, she’s  far too good looking  to do the cooking

It’s  a lousy life for the washed up wife  of a permanently plastered,pissed  up

 11. Deft Left Hand
  * *
  * Cant figure this out so please comment/email me with suggestions *
  * *
 You seem the type to follow the line
 Went from cheery vagabondage to cold blooded luxury in four years
 No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky
 Oh, i want to lay by your side
 Oh, i will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
 Weaker vessel or better half?
 That Woman’s tears could be the death of me...oh dear
 You know when she’s had a few she’ll be onto you there’s no letting up
 But, I want to lay by your side
 Oh, I will lay down and die if i can’t lay by your side
 It may hap that these these are they - the golden years
 So don’t despair don’t dismay dry your tears
 Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds
 I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio
 They were more liberal times
 Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
 It’s a little dream of mine
 Oh but comments were less than complimentary
 And the deft left hand it followed the right
 I think about my happiest times and one of them
 was sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers
 A bearcat, a memosa and a view of arcady
 Oh, I want to lay by your side
 Oh, I will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side
 Oh, I want to lay by your side
 Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die
 I can’t lay by your side
 Oh, I want to lay by your side
 Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die by your side
 Oh, I want to lay by your side
 12. Lost Art Of Murder
Could  roll a four
Roll  a nine
Find  yourself washed up in  paradise
Like  before
Didn’t  mind
Someone  else washed up in paradise  Everyday
What  a nice day for a murder
Call  yourself a killer the only  thing you're killing  is your
Time,  there's nothing absurder
 A bird  is a burden
 To your heart  your soul your body spirit  and
Mind  don’t look at me like that,she  wont take you back,said  too  much been too
Unkind  get off your back,  stop smoking  that,  change your life,  just might
 change  her mind
Roll  a four
Roll  a nine
Find  yourself washed up in paradise
Roll  a four
Roll  a nine
I  lost my phone in  paradise
What  a nice day for a murder
Say  your a killer the only  thing you're killing  is your
Time,  there's nothing absurder
 A bird  is a burden
 To your heart  your soul your body spirit  and
Mind  don’t look at me like that,she  wont take you back,said  too  much been too
Unkind  get off your back,  stop smoking  that,  change your life,  just might
 change  her mind
 Don’t look at me like that,  she won't take you back,  said too  much been too
Unkind  get off your back,  stop smoking  that,  change your life

You seem the type to follow the line
Went from cheery vagabondage to cold blooded luxury in four years
No lick spittle or pickthack from sycophant claw back flunky
Oh, i want to lay by your side
Oh, i will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side

Weaker vessel or better half?
That Woman’s tears could be the death of me...oh dear
You know when she’s had a few she’ll be onto you there’s no letting up
But, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if i can’t lay by your side

It may hap that these these are they - the golden years
So don’t despair don’t dismay dry your tears
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds

I had a blast off with the cast of a play on the radio
They were more liberal times
Destined to drone in monotone on your radio
It’s a little dream of mine

Oh but comments were less than complimentary
And the deft left hand it followed the right

I think about my happiest times and one of them
was sat in bed watching a documentary on murderers
A bearcat, a memosa and a view of arcady

Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I will lay down and die if I can’t lay by your side

Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die
I can’t lay by your side

Oh, I want to lay by your side
Oh, I’ll surely lay down and die by your side

Oh, I want to lay by your side
