I Went Walking

I went walking
With the apple of my eye
(Walking with one, walking with one)
Over the hills
And time went so swiftly by
(Walking with one, walking with one)
I went walking
Out with one now so far from me
(Walking with one, walking with one)
As far as the golden sun
As far as the inland sea
(Walking with one, walking with one)
(Walking with one, walking with one)
But now the door is closed
And I expect her not
Loving times wearied of
Are lovelier forgot
Now I go walking
With no one beside me
(Walking with one, walking with one)
As if she never was
Such good company
(Walking with one, walking with one)
I went walking
With the apple of my eye
(Walking with one, walking with one)

Black Cat, Cairo
03:04

Nice people stop and stare
At the ladies passing there
The gentlemen like Fred Astaire
At the Black Cat, Cairo
All the ladies look so chic
Grace of feline, soft and sleek
And the patron's so discreet
At the Black Cat, Cairo
Well, camel 'round the pyramids
Boat ride down the Nile
Night back at the Black Cat
Putting on the style
It's the only place to be
If you're busy buzzing like a bee
Many honeyed memories
At the Black Cat back in Cairo
Every night on with the show
The band knows which way to go
Everybody's easy to know
At the Black Cat, Cairo
Officers drink to the health
Of gentlemen of greatest wealth
Fallen comrades and everyone else
At the Black Cat, Cairo
Oh, jibber jabber markets
Hurley burley aisles
Back down to the Black Cat
Another night on the tiles
He's like a sphinx when he's looking upon
All the crazy things going on
But you really can't do anything wrong
At the Black Cat back in Cairo
Nice people stop and stare
At the ladies passing there
The gentlemen like Fred Astaire
At the Black Cat back in Cairo

Lines and Signs

Where, is where I started out
Where I started out for
A long time ago?
I, I used to be so certain then
I used to be certain
Now I don't really know
Lines and signs
Washed away by rain
Lines and signs
When I took a look away
Where, is where I started out
Where I started out for
A long time ago?
What, what was I heading for
What was I heading for
That was once so clear?
Can you, can you show me please
Can you show me in a picture
Where I wanted to be?
Once my dreams
Shone like crystal light
Now it seems
They're lost in the cloud of night
What, what was I heading for
What was I heading for
That was once so clear?
Lines and signs
Washed away by rain
Lines and signs
When I took a look away
Where, is where I started out
Where I started out for
A long time ago?
I, I used to be so certain then
I used to be certain
Now I don't really know
I used to be certain
Now I don't really know

Mongoola Bay
04:05
|
|||
|
Volcano it is smoking
Like a Russian merchant sailor
No off the peg, my inside leg's
With Jerico the tailor
There's talk of evacuation
Big ship in the harbour
TV crews are coming through
In boatloads by the hour
Mongoola Bay
No work, all play
Volcano it is rumblin
Echoes deep and long
The band to play Strauss all day
Have packed it in mid song
Emil the pusher heads for
His speedboat at the quay
With his nieces and the chief of police's
Wife for company
Mongoola Bay
No work, all play
Mongoola Bay
No work, all play
Let's dance the night away
Even the monkeys and the palm trees
Learn to sway
Volcano it is spouting
Panic's on for real
Riot! Wartime on the shoreline
Police wear hats of steel
Big ship it is listing
People trampled on the ground
A little plop, volcano stops
And gulps its flames back down
Mongoola Bay
No work, all play
Mongoola Bay
No work, all play
Mongoola Bay
No work, all play

Famine and Feast
02:55
|
|||
|
I'll show you the way of the world
Famine, famine and feast
Some lay right down with the lamb
Others walk with the beast
Like each of us can, each of us can, each of us
Like each of us can, each of us can, each of us can
Some people have more than they need
Others, what they need least
Some choose to empty their guns
In the gardens of peace
Like each of us can, each of us can, each of us
Like each of us can, each of us can, each of us can
I'll show you the way of the world
Famine, famine and feast
The honest may harvest their land
But the honest also get fleeced
Like each of us can, each of us can, each of us
Like each of us can, each of us can, each of us can
I'll show you the way of the world
Famine, famine and feast

Toolittle Street
The houses are beat
Too many folk
Think it's a joke
Too many up all night
Banging on, drumming
Up all night
Different tongues
Deals get made each week
But eyes never meet
On Toolittle Street
Toolittle Street
It's a one-way street
Everyone knows
To ignore that flow
Too many things in mind
Breaking apart
Things in mind
Breaking the heart
Carpets laid all neat
But eyes never meet
On Toolittle Street
And if you catch someone dreaming
Or smiling to themselves
Go ask them if you feel unsure
But it probably means
It probably means
They've been
To Toolittle Street
Where the houses are beat
Too many folk
Think it's a joke
Too many up all night
Banging on, drumming
Up all night
Different tongues
Deals get made each week
But eyes never meet
On Toolittle Street
But eyes never meet
On Toolittle Street
But eyes never meet
On Toolittle Street
Toolittle Street

Honeysuckle Girl

Treats me fine
Has a hold on time
My honeysuckle lady
Heaven sweet
24/7 treat
My honeysuckle girl
We almost never met
I was rushing from a mess
I stopped to touch
A flower on a vine
My honeysuckle
By some funny luck
I saw my dream appear
Treats me fine
Has a hold on time
My honeysuckle lady
Heaven sweet
24/7 treat
My honeysuckle girl
My honeysuckle girl

Toloosa

Living the life
Poundland setting the dream
Coming apart slowly
From at the seams
Living hand to mouth
Only Jesus saves
Bracing against
The wind and the waves
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Thought we had love
Now time's gotten tough
All that it's shown
Is that love's not enough
All of our paths
Crazy paved
Bracing against
The wind and the waves
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Where do I start?
You carved a maze in my heart
All of our paths
Crazy paved
Bracing against
The wind and the waves
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Where do I start?
You carved a maze in my heart
Where do I begin?
Shaking like a willow in the river wind
Hope, it still lives
In this wasted man
Stronger in places
Clean of the hand
Bald eagle
On Legal Aid
Bracing against
The wind and the waves
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Bald eagle
On Legal Aid
Bracing against
The wind and the waves
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya
Oh Toloosa, don't wanna lose ya

Every Step Of The Way
04:08

Pick me up, I'll be as good as new
You'll see
Might be an old dog
But I've still got some magic in me
Pick me up, I'll start again
Right away
Walk beside you everywhere
Every step of the way
Dust me off, get a better view
You will
My favourite old coat
Will help with the rain and the chill
Dust me off, you know, all I'm saying
You won't regret me staying
Come what may I'll be there
Every step of the way
Old reliable, whatever the season
Old reliable, whatever the reason
When faced with troubled winds
That's when my work begins
Wipe me down, I'll come shining through
Like a ray
I'm the man with the smile
You said you would need every day
Wipe me down, well ain't it plain
I should stay
Bringing home hard-earned dough
Every step of the way
Pick me up, I'll be as good as new
You'll see
Might be an old dog
But I've still got some magic in me
Pick me up, I'll start again
Right away
Walk beside you everywhere
Every step of the way
Walk beside you everywhere
Every step of the way

Small town folk

Read all about it
In the small town news
Small town boys
Small town girls
Never leave
Their small town world
Small town born
In a small town they've grown
Family around
The small town home
The cornershop, the run down pub
The hairdressers and the rugby club
The wayward daughter and that junky son
Leaving space for things to come

Footprints In The Snow
04:29

John has gone back
He wasn't taking out the bins
Saw him last night
He didn't mention anything
I dread to think
When the town gets to know
Wish I didn't see
His footprints in the snow
He should of held out
Can't be long 'til this ends
They'll never forgive him now
How can we stay friends
He lasted this long
We'll all be suffering from this blow
Wish I didn't see
His footprints in the snow
Think I'll take a walk
Get some fresh air
Go down by the line
Talk to the boys there
Nothing to do now
But I wish this wasn't so
And I wish I didn't see
His footprints in the snow
John has gone back
He wasn't taking out the bins
Saw him last night
He didn't mention anything
I dread to think
When the town gets to know
Wish I didn't see
His footprints in the snow
Wish I didn't see
His footprints in the snow
