already gone (Dallas Crane)

she ain't my type
was over in one night
some dark sides are better unknown
stay young, stay gold

if you think I'll come around slowly
I'm already gone
she got a man on the wrong side
I'm already gone

they'll fly down one day
and take me far away
the world won't cry and they won't know
just how far I'll go

throw your book at someone else man
I'm already gone
I've beat out the stains in my laundry
I'm already gone

if you think I'll come around slowly
I'm already gone
they got a man on the wrong side
I'm already gone
they got a man on the wrong side
I'm already gone

alright by me (Dallas Crane)

I grab my keys I said "I'll see you later"
taking the back roads
but always accelerating
'cause I got the message she sent into my head
I never keep her waiting when she's waiting in my bed
she says
don't leave me alone
I'll only get stoned
half a bottle later our thoughts reminisce
we're toasting long past anecdotes while tipping the wrist
and I've got a secret I've got to confess
I spend my night time soothing demons
and my mornings in bed
she says "so what baby"
you know that you're alright by me
let's have no confusion
I'll look after you
look after me
look after me
over and over and over again
we'll live a life that's top shelf
live it 'til the end
until we're dead
until the end

can't work you out (Dallas Crane)

well I've seen 'em all little mamma
from the broken hearted to the mad
and no stethoscope of meter's
gonna put it right in my head

no I can't work you out
and it's making me a little sad

well you terrorise everybody
with the blunt end of a knife
who you gonna kill little mamma
have you got somebody in mind

no I can't work you out
and I'm not even gonna try

now I've seen it all little mamma
and my best and only advice
is keep out of reach of children
till I tell you otherwise

no I can't work you out
and I'm not even gonna try

come again (Dallas Crane)

no I don't know your name
I don't mind if you feel the same

come again you know you're welcome anytime
I couldn't find a better woman if I tried

fools gold fools me no more
it's all mime that I've seen before

thanks a million I was only going insane
I'm entertained now and I hope we can again

pardon me cause I just don't know what to say
it's been a long time since a woman made my day
so come again you know you're welcome any time
you've been a good friend and I hope that cash is fine

come and go (Dallas Crane)

well I got a girl
she's good for my heart
when she's in my head
she pulls it apart
and I know sometime
you're gonna make all the wrongs alright

you dress me down
you kick in your feet
I walk in your wake when we're
out in the street
and I want you by
I want you by my side all the time

my ghosts are all gone and now I can see
my closet of bones is dead in the sea
and every night is like the start of the day
and I got the moon to show me the way home

pretending to love
is easy to do
but I got no pink cotton candy for you
and I know sometime
you're gonna make all the wrongs alright

I don't wanna bend to fit in your mould
but I'll need a friend when I'm senile and old
and I want you by
I want you by my side all the time

my ghosts are all gone and now I can see
my closet of bones is dead in the sea
and every night is like the start of the day
and I got the moon to show me the way home

well I seen the lows
and I seen the highs
I don't see the world like it is in your eyes
and I know sometime
you're gonna make all the wrongs alright

well I got a girl
she's good for my heart
and she knows the best way to tear it apart
and I want you by
I want you by my side all the time

my ghosts are all gone and now I can see
my closet of bones is dead in the sea
and every night is like the start of the day
and I got the moon to show me the way home

come clean (Dallas Crane)

come clean
you're gonna feel much better
come clean
with me honey tonight
haven't you got a little
something to tell me
'cause I know
where you was at last night

I heard it
through a Chinese whisper
I heard, but I can't say who
maybe there's something that
you wanted to tell me
come clean
I wanna hear it from you

I don't wanna be your second man
I don't wanna be your second man
I don't wanna be your second man

dirty hearts (Dallas Crane)

little darlin', do you want me to sing you a song
or little darlin' do you want me to leave you alone
you got your head in your hands and I don't know why

is that your dirty heart
is that your dirty heart

the sky's turning little darling, a storm's on the way
nobody's gonna hear you cry at the end of the day
the rains are comin to wash down the filth and the grime

off the dirty hearts, off the dirty

so little darlin', do you want me to sing you a song
do you want me to sing you a song
do you want me to sing you a song
do you want me to sing you a song

home (Dallas Crane)

I've rolled with the times
I've stayed up all night
at rock 'n' roll's twenty four seven home

there's always a bed
alone, or with a friend
that's how it goes
where I belong

I'd love you to stay 'cause I just cannot close my eyes
I got a horn and an hour to kill

iodine (Dallas Crane)

I dreamed a Boeing fall out of the open sky
I dreamed a city burning down in black and white
and the beat goes on for another day
Leonard Cohen knows what I'm tryin' to say
iodine
iodine
rub a little more in my soul
iodine
iodine
crawling through the city of gold

I dreamed it all fell down one sunny day
everybody knew what they couldn't say
and the beat goes on for another time
well everybody run but you can't hide
iodine
rub a little more in my soul
iodine
iodine
crawling through the city of gold

ladybird (Dallas Crane)

you don't need a mister sister
you just need a man
they call you the ladybird
just because they can

ladybird, ladybird
where you gonna fly tonight

you don't care what they all say
and I like you for that
you got on your famous red boots
and your cowboy hat

ladybird, ladybird
where you gonna fly tonight

ladybird, your house is burning
your children are alone
there's a strange man at your window
wondering what went wrong

ladybird, ladybird
where you gonna fly tonight

so long, so long

lay down (Dallas Crane)

well the ocean spreads out the front of my house
if you come from north start heading down south
I watch the fast cars go past
while sipping gin from my glass
and bring a smoke to the lips of my mouth

cause I'm really fond of where I live
in the suicidal part of the town
I can always get a grip if my mind permits
otherwise I go and lay down

lay down, lay down
lay down, lay down
lay down, lay down
lay down, lay down

what's that who's smashing bottles out the front of my house?
it's morning and I'm trying to sleep
well a nine to five life is what my being's avoiding
but I gotta work 'cause nothing's free or cheap
now I'm getting used to the football
and the control it's gotten over the town
'cause I like to scream at shit when my throat permits
otherwise I go and lay down

well lay down everything
take it off in front of me
lay down next to me
for Christ's sakes let me breathe

well god I dunno what'll make me happy
is it something good or evil and bad
and if I look the other way will my thoughts decay?
'cause I don't wanna bury my head deep in the sand
this tied knot you can never undo
you can call but don't make a sound
'cause I can always drink and shit when my funds permit
otherwise I'm just gonna go and lay down

naked Dallas Crane)

I awoke on the side of the road to find myself naked
within arms reach was you wrapped in my blanket
you'd better start letting those clock hands scratch at your face
you've fallen behind in this race

I thought that what I desired is what I deserve
when I think of how often I touched my fingers got burned
your eyes open up wide tell me all I know
am I just a fool who's displaced
you've thrown it all back in my face
say what you want
but don't walk away

well I've found a way to challenge all of my senses
when I'm locked in the room
it's all just a part of this sentence

I crawled off the side of the road and I looked in the distance
and I know that my mental problems can't be cured in an instant
I know all of your signs you've fallen behind the times
you see that it's not too late
to take a gun to all those that you hate
don't take too long
don't hesitate

no through road (Dallas Crane)

well it's been a long time coming
looking for the neon glow
been up and down the mountain
wondering where the hell to go
and I been along every dirt road
looking for the yellow haze
but I can't see it anywhere
to candlelight my way

I said mister can you help me
can you possibly explain
why the rooster on your chimney's
pointing north the other way
he said you ain't from around here
are you boys and I said no
just keep on heading that away
you ain't got far to go

don't stop the car
no through road
don't stop the car
no through road

we're forty odd miles from nowhere
and I don't know how to say
that we're all heading back
along the road from where we came
forty odd miles from nowhere and
the needle's in the low
Pete said how far now
I said we ain't got far to go

don't stop the car
no through road
don't stop the car
no through road

nowhere (Dallas Crane)

something worth knowing
your broken bottles cut my feet up
the blood won't stop flowing
I hope you don't expect me to be cool
well it's just not me
it's something I can't be

I look at your fashion
a puppet , a designers brain
amphetamine passions
not caring that you'll always look the same
as a suburban street and everyone you meet

I count all the numbers
I'm not afraid to play the game
I'm glad that I've done ya
I hoping that you kind of feel the same
well the same as me
it's how I wanna be

I'd like to breed the freak out
all in the chemistry, it's in the chemistry
she's like an acid flashback
something only I can see, only I can see
it seems to do my mind in
oh I know it isn't cheap
it keeps me on my feet
and when I've made a million
that's when I finally walk away
I wanna walk away

numb all over (Dallas Crane)

I can't feel my own pulse beating
I'm down in the middle of the whole design
when you gonna make it better

can't see what it is you're all seeing
I don't feel the cold and I don't know why
I wont blame it on the weather
come round here and make it better

I'm numb all over and
I can't feel anything
a strange kind of wonderful

I see a broken man in the mirror
one part Jekyll, and one part Hyde
when you comin round to see me

can't feel the rhythm of my own pulse beating
I cross my fingers on the rolling dice
when you coming over here to
tell me things will all get better

I'm numb all over and
I can't feel anything
a strange kind of wonderful

open to close (Dallas Crane)

alone just a drone I'm sitting
the clock seems too slow it's ticking
waiting
for you to come

the daytime seems to enslave me
at night time you always compensate me
for what goes wrong

come in swap your coin for poison
I insist there ain't no use avoiding
the one thing you want
and old ghosts start reappearing
in each drop the haunting sounds you're hearing
is an old favourite song

the last have now spent their pension
I slam the door on my day's detention
I open to close
hypocrisy now I'm showing
honey raise your glass 'cause I'm proposing
a toast to us both

cause I'm proposing
a toast to us both

out in space (Dallas Crane)

well I don't need ya doin' in my head
I got a one track brain out in space
I said the word, just let me be
I got a one track brain out in space

and I can't hear ya spinning that's and this
because I don't read minds, I don't read lips
I said the word, just let me be
I got a one track brain out in space

well I don't need you doin' in my head
and I don't need your nightmare in my bed
I said the word just let me be
I got a one track brain out in space

she's got it (Dallas Crane)

I want someone that's
akin to my love
I need someone that won't sleep with the band

there on the podium's
an only daughter
I wish that I could
step into her dance

she's got it
she's got it
she's got, got, got it

custom items
cost a million
I got the money in
the pocket of my pants

for all the carat in
a golden bullion
I wish that I could
step into her dance

mister I love
your only daughter
I'm gonna need you
to permit our romance

I found someone that's
akin to my love
and I wish that I could
step into her dance

shit creek (Dallas Crane)

I'm gonna run what's the point in all this
I've seen it all now and I must admit
being a beggar on an oily old rag
is not a living for me

I'm starving hungry out of money and luck
I'd chew the ass off a low flying duck
protocol here is sodomy style greed
and it's a worry for me

I'm not a member of the modern day
there's someone at it in the bed that I made
they drained the carat out of all the gold hearts
and now they're coming for me

ain't nobody gonna see me cry
I'll be long gone before it's time to die
it's that, or join the material world soon
or they'll be comin' for me

and when I yawn it's because you spoiled my dream
I was in nirvana dreaming all the right things
you came along when all the money runs dry
and point the finger at me

you haven't heard a single word that I've said
I know you'd rather see this little guy dead
I sweep your litter and I hang up your coat
there's noting in it for me

sorry man I'm gonna have my way
I wanna lie here in the bed that I made
thank you porter I can take it from here
the early night is on me

'cause ain't nobody gonna see me down
I'm looking forward to when the time comes 'round
when being alive is being a human again
it's sentimental to me

I've seen it all now and I must admit
it's hard to row in a creek of shit
say goodbye now for the very last time
and take the paddle from me

it's kind of sad we gotta end this way
I'm starting over in a brand new day
being a beggar on an oily old rag
is not a living for me

I'm not offended by the modern day
I burn a candle for the friends that I made
see you round, maybe in heaven some time
don't put your money on me

ain't nobody gonna see me cry
twenty five is not a time to die
mothership's got her boarding hatch down
and she's waiting on me

sit on my knee (Dallas Crane)

just in time my love
made a wish tonight
this old daddy's gonna
keep you away from nasty Satan

kiss this on the lips
and leave a swig for me
I'm so glad you could
come on over and

sit on my knee
and fall in love with me
hey it's alright
I can sit here all night

I'm the araldite
on your broken dream
I'm the green percent
in your nicotine
I'm your friend for life
and I cross my heart
and it's fair to say we
made a good start

sit on my knee
and fall in love with me
hey it's alright
I can sit here all night

sold me (Dallas Crane)

so long darlin' was lovely to know ya
every now and then I still wanna go ya
I couldn't shine like that rock in the window
you traded me in for not even real gold

was gonna write a love letter and show ya
was gonna pay back the money I owed ya
now that you're naked maybe I could be tempted
was gonna say yes, but the I remembered
you sold me for something better

you sold me for next to nothing
you sold me for imitation gold
now it looks like the end of the road

some days (Dallas Crane)

I'm not a well known man
I shake no golden hand
if I told you that I did I lied
no I've never seen the light in front of me
but I might some day

can't play sugar dad
got no cash for that
won't meet god tonight
but some other day we might

I wanna be you friend
from here to bitter end
if you don't oblige
at least stay overnight

ooh, that's ok
I was dreamin' anyway

I just wanted a friend
when I don't like who I am
you got the best little heart
and it glows in the dark
and alright, I understand
if you don't like who I am
I don't mean to be that hard to know

I'm not you fool to be
never wanna be
I left the only love is blind behind

no I've never seen
the light in front of me
but I might some day

oh, that's ok
I was dreamin' anyway

something weird Dallas Crane)

Everyone in here says there's something weird about you
well that's alright by me, originality, it designed you, for me
And if you lead the way, I spend some time I've saved, if you do
Cos I don't want to do rock 'n' roll with anybody else but you

I've read your print that's fine, and signed the dotted line, a done deal
And take me back, and keep me in your stash, I'm a steal
Well you've never had enough, unless you've had too much'
And finding out what's I'm about, much more of you too touch
And everybody wants to know but it's only meant for me and you
Cos I don't want to rock 'n' roll with anybody else but you

If you think that somehow you are wasting my time
At night you shine your light it really scrambles my mind
And everybody wants to know it's only meant for me and you
Cos I don't want to rock 'n' roll with anybody else but you

No need to speak I've said it all
You keep me walking ten feet tall
I don't want anyone but you

sweet FA (Dallas Crane)

so, how much do you know?
do I have to leave here
pack my bags and get out by tomorrow
can I stay just another day?

meanwhile, you ask how I'm doing
you start to smile and ask how much I'm using
but wait, I just can't contemplate
where I have been

what was at first thick as mud
is now as clear as can be
and when I waste all my money
on filthy pornography
and now this harpy inside
she's got me down on my knees
on my knees

unlucky star (Dallas Crane)

well I don't have the key to your money
and I don't have the key to your mind
and I'm fighting off my demons
one swing at a time
one swing at a time
hold onto my hand
I was born
under an unlucky star

when they pro-created you honey
they had the best intentions in mind
but now I can see the black ravens
circling in the sky
circling in the sky
hold onto my hand
you were born
under an unlucky star

well I've see em all chase money
and that's a race I never ran
climbing up the mountain side to be a
flash in the pan
flash in the pan
hold onto my hand
never mind
under an unlucky star

under the moon (Dallas Crane)

come and see the morning
do you wanna see the daylight
you can be anything
and anybody you like
I don't wanna be alone
bringing in a new day
so come with me little one
we'll turn over a new page
we're all going to a party under the moon tonight
we're gonna wake up anybody not outside
singing Auld Lang Syne

it's been a long hard year
looking for a glory
the lines on your forehead
tell a better story
I don't wanna be alone
so come and have a good time
put a little on your gum
don't you wanna see the daylight
we're all going to a party under the moon tonight
we're gonna wake up anybody not outside
singing Auld Lang Syne

it's been a long hard year
but that's another day now
so go and tell everyone
there's gonna be a hoe-down
the sky's gonna glow red
a little after midnight
come with me little one
don't you wanna see the daylight
we're all going to a party under the moon tonight
we're gonna wake up anybody not outside
singing Auld Lang Syne

wannabe (Dallas Crane)

you roll in the dirt of your gloss magazines
then you clean off the filth with the soap on TV
and you sing all the words that you read off the screen
you wanna be a big star
well get down on your knees

wannabe, wannabe, wannabe, wannabe

you think about nothing
it's already been done
you might be a good singer
but you ain't got the songs
and you say you're on par
but you're wild off the tee
you wanna be a big star
well get down on your knees

wannabe, wannabe, wannabe, wannabe

wrong party (Dallas Crane)

I said to father hold onto your beads man
I got a belly of sin to confess and
I wanna know if your lord can save me
from the fires of hell that made me

it isn't me on your crucifixion
cause I was driving the nails and the thorns in
it isn't me that you know as the good son
I shot Lennon down with a warm gun

I wasn't born in the nativity scene
I wasn't born in the nativity scene

and one beautiful sunrise
I put a jet in your high rise
I'm not the guy that you pray for

so bless me father for I have sinned
I put your holy book in the dustbin
I've been a travelling show for a long time
and now I'm coming to your town tonight

I wasn't born in the nativity scene
I wasn't born in the nativity scene

and when you call me I'll come 'round
I'll put a fire in your compound
it ain't me on your cross

see you in hell!
see you in hell!

I put a jet in your high rise
I put a jet in your high rise……
