Real Fat Cat
He likes to call me Little Sunshine
He loves me while the day is long
You might think that he is all mine
But there my friend you would be wrong
He belongs to the crowd
They call for him loud
Coz here’s the skinny he’s a real fat cat!
Ah a ha mmm mmm mm ooo hooo yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ah a ha mmm mmm mm ooo hooo
Lays down the rhythm with his fingers
The band falls nicely into line
Swells the sound with back up singers wooo hooo
Plays it straight or double time
Yeah he’s the man,
Up front of the band
Me in the front row I’m always where he’s at!
Ah a ha mmm mmm mm ooo hooo yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ah a ha mmm mmm mm ooo hooo
Even when the gig is over
And we’re lyin’ in our bed
Could be drunk or stone cold sober
The tunes are runnin’ through his head
I don’t really care that I got to share him
I give him what he needs because I’m cool like that!
You know I don’t mind
We get along fine with
the love that’s in me for that real fat cat
Ah a ha mmm mmm mm ooo hooo yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ah a ha mmm mmm mm ooo hooo

Get your baby back
Get her back baby, back, back baby back
Lift your act baby, act like you want her back
Use the fact baby, fact in your love attack
Get on track baby track her to where she’s at
Don’t lose a good thing, bent on a stupid fling
Get her back, get her back, back, baby back
Don’t waste time, baby time that you do not have
Hold the line, baby line up and play your hand
Be a man, baby man up to what you planned
When you ran, baby ran to what should be banned
Don’t go the wrong way, listen to what I say
Get her back, baby back, back, baby back
Get her back, baby back, back, baby back
Don’t react baby, act like you need her back
Walk straight Jack, baby, right into her shack
Take the flak, lose the smart mouth comeback
Don’t be a fool now, you got to get her somehow
Get her back, baby back, back, baby back
This is your last chance, hold on to your romance
Get her back baby, baby get her back

Talk the Talk
You want me dirty then talk a little flirty,
Love me hard and keep me up until 2.30
You want me loose, make no excuse
Spill the beans, say what you mean
No you won’t hurt me.
You want my love, oh Lord above
You talk the talk or I’ll walk the walk
I’m no mind reader, that’s not my game
You shut your mouth, I tell you now
I’ll do the same
But if you wanna’ love me then say it plain
Or you go’ta own you’ll be alone,
Yourself to blame
But if you want me, yes sirree
You talk the talk or I’ll walk the walk
You speak your mind, or else it’s over
Treat me right and then tonight
You’ll be in clover, yeah
Give me your heart without exception
I’ll be your girl, give you the world
And no deception
I swear that it’s true, it’s up to you
You talk the talk or I’ll walk the walk
Talk the talk
You talk the talk or I’ll walk the walk
Walk the walk
You talk the talk or I’ll walk the walk
Talk the talk
You better talk or else I’ll walk

Crash & Burn

Crash and Burn
There is judgement in your silence
Criticize me with your mood
Threaten with unspoken violence
It’s a constant drawn out feud
Manipulate with your expressions
You know I hate to live this way
About to face another session
You can’t tell me it’s okay
Crash & burn
Live and learn
All for you
You’ve always got me second guessing
It’s a game you like to play
I can feel your eyes assessing
Rating me in every way
Well you say I’m just a woman
But you are barely a man
When you take every moment
To control me when you can
Crash & burn
Live and learn
All for you
Break a bone, well then there’s mending
Bruise a face there’s hell to pay
Harder to see when you’re intending
To break my mind with what you say
You’d think I’d run away from you
You’d think that I would try to fight
Believe me when I say to you
This shit keeps me up at night
Crash & burn
Live and learn
All for you

I Can’t Be Sure
I think I like the way you love me and the way you show you care
I think I like the way you touch me and that thing you do with my hair
I’m almost certain for my lonely heart you might be the cure
But I can’t be sure oh no
I like that you can drive my engine room it’s you that holds the key
You just might be my only one and means all things to me
I’m almost certain I’ll think of you when I go out on tour
But I can’t be sure oh no no no
When I feel your heart beating
I sense that I’m complete
But can I trust this feeling Am I yours to keep?
I can’t be sure no can’t be sure
I think that you should rock me all night long and gentle me to sleep
Think I should write about you in my songs give them to you to keep
I’m almost certain that in this whole wide world you are my one “amour”
But I can’t be sure
You’ve made a pretty good start baby
But now it’s all on me
Which is the path, it’s hazy
What life do I see?
I can’t be sure
When I feel your heart beating
I sense that I’m complete
But can I trust this feeling Am I yours to keep?
I can’t be sure no
can’t be sure
can’t be sure
can’t be sure

Lay My Head

Lay my head
Casting ripples ‘cross the water
As the stone sink way on down
Not Livin’ my life like I oughta’
Visions flash before I drown
Feel the waves rise up around me
No way to find blessed escape
A slave to my responsibilities
The one who gives to those who take
Lookin’ for some kind of salvation
Gonna’ have to dig down deep
Against my every inclination
Lay my head down go to sleep
Time grows heavy on my shoulders
Lays heavy on my hands
Weighs heavy on my mind
It’s heavy all the
Time grows heavy on my shoulders
It’s heavy all the time.
Still I’m lookin’ for salvation
A slice of heaven mine to keep
Against my every inclination
Lay my head down
Go to sleep
Time grows heavy on my shoulders
Lays heavy on my hands
Weighs heavy on my mind
It’s heavy all the
Time grows heavy on my shoulders
It’s heavy all the time.
It’s heavy on my hands
It’s heavy on my mind
It’s on my hands
It’s heavy all the time

The Pages of My Skin
All got our stories to tell, I got mine you got yours as well.
Don’t let life bring you down, sing out make a joyful sound yeah
My Life is written on my body,
Everybody turn the pages of my skin
Oh you’ll see there’s the smooth & there’s the rocky
Come closer, find the secrets lie within.
They say at 20 you get the face that you were born with
But from 40 on you get the face that you deserve
When you take a look at me, doesn’t matter what you see
I’ve got a lot of livin’ in reserve!
My Life is written on my body,
Everybody turn the pages of my skin oh yeah
I’ve got scars from operations…so many I can’t count
Stretch marks from my baby boy, just tryin’ to get out
They burned me on the outside…
To get the poison that was in
You couldn’t kill me with a meat axe, I never will give in
Well you know I’ve got some fine lines
I wear them like a badge
Gravity is not my friend,
but that don’t make me mad
Coz I’ll tell you this for nothin’,
When you’ve lost some people dear
It’s not the look, it’s what’s in the book
And I’m just happy to be here
My Life is written on my body, everybody… every body
Everybody turn the pages of my
Of my skin
Of my skin
Of my skin
Of my skin
Of my skin
Of my skin
Of my skin
