1.1 - Back Home

Going back right through the cities
Through the country rivers so pretty
People wonder why I'm going back home.
Just the place where I belong

Back home
Back home
Back home
Back home.
Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home
Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home

Round and round the world goes round
Got my friends in every town
From border to border every place I've been
But I've gotta be back if you know what I mean

Back home
Back home
Back home
Back home.
Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home
Well I'm a round the world rambler
Just a fortune gambler
It's always good to be back home

1.2 - Please Go

Please go,
Before tears come from my eye
You throw
My love away I wonder why

Now I am thinking' what the reason could be
You said you've got no other love that's a lie to me
You know I really die if I should see
You're making love to men no matter who it will be

Listen baby you can imagine what happens to me now
You said you wanna be free like other people so always told me before
And if you don't wanna hurt me
Don't stay in the place where our love started
I ask you, I ask you now

Please go,
Before tears come from my eye
You throw
My love away I wonder why

Now I am thinkin' what the reason could be
You said you've got no other love that's a lie to me
You know I really die if I should see
You're making love to men no matter who

I said please go home now before tears come from my eye
I just can't standing the lie
I said no, oh no, oh no

Please go,
Before tears come from my eye
You throw
My love away I wonder why

1.3 - That Day

She left me behind
But in my mind
I hear the words
She said to me
I wonder why
It had to be that day

She said she loves me
And that was easy to see
But why did she run away
I pray that she’ll come back
And stay one day

I was walking slowly
Matter on my way
It seems she was lonely
I have no words to say
Where has she gone
Where has she gone
No heart was ever been hurt like this
That day

She said she loves me
And that was easy to see
But why did she run away
I pray that she’ll come back
And stay one day

I was walking slowly
Matter on my way
It seems she was lonely
I have no words to say
Where has she gone
Where has she gone
No heart is ever been hurt like this
That day

1.4 - If You Leave Me

Baby if you leave me
I won’t know what to do
So darling do believe me
Oh my heart belongs to you

I know they say a lot of things
About me and what I’ve done
For baby that’s loveless
My love never change and you know how
Think what you do before you treating cruel

Baby if you leave me
You find out that you was wrong
But though you still deceive me
You will find my love is strong

I know they say a lot of things
About me and what I’ve done
For baby that’s loveless
My love never change and you know how
Think what you do before you treating cruel

Honey I need you
Every day I need you
It’s like a thrill
So please don’t be so mean

I know they say a lot of things
About me and what I’ve done
For baby that’s loveless
My love never change and you know how
Think what you do before you treating cruel

1.5 - Daddy Buy Me A Girl

When only a little baby I already was rich
Wealthy mother and father gave me all I could wish
Precious toys things I just wanted
Crowding the park and the stably house
Girls were thinking they loved me
Affecting still was for sale

The only time I adored one thinking love was real fun
Soon it started to show that girls just wanted my dough
Gave her rings, diamonds a mink coat
Hoping these would make her see
That I'm much more than only money
Affection wasn't for sale

Daddy buy me a girl
Please buy me a girl
You can spend all of your money
To make sure she calls me honey
Rich or poor all same crazy about me

The only time I adored one thinking love was real fun
Soon it started to show that girls just wanted my dough
Gave her rings, diamonds a mink coat
Hoping these would make her see
That I'm much more than only money
Affection wasn't for sale

Daddy buy me a girl
Please buy me a girl
You can spend all of your money
To make sure she calls me honey
Rich or poor all same crazy about me

1.6 - Don’t Run Too Far

Baby can’t you see
What you’ve been to me
I really don’t understand no no
But you treat anyone anyone so bad

But what I want to say
I couldn’t tear myself away
From your love
‘Cause there is no one else than the lord above

But I need someone, someone
Who sometimes will make me feel fine

Don’t run too far
Someday you’ll feel sorry
Don’t run too far
There’s no time to hurry
Don’t be foolish
And think before it’s too late
And don’t forget I’m not the only man you hate

Baby can’t you see
What you’ve been doing to me
I really don’t understand no no
But you treat anyone anyone so bad
The situation in which I am
I have to miss you anyhow, mmm
But you don’t really make me blue
I’m so in love with you

Don’t run too far
Someday you’ll feel sorry
Don’t run too far
There’s no time to hurry
Don’t be foolish
And think before it’s too late
And don’t forget I’m not the only man you hate

1.7 - Sound Of The Screaming Day

Time's fine
Six o'clock and go
Now I feel alone and lucky
Get my car and drive into the fields
Where I have to work to get my money

Listen, listen oh listen
It's the sound of the screaming day
Who asks to live with you and me in any way

Sun is going up
I feel the beams on my head
The birds are whistling good morning
Near and far you can hear the sound
The sound of a working journey man

Listen, listen oh listen
It's the sound of the screaming day
Who asks to live with you and me in any way

Listen to the sound of the screaming day
Listen to the sound of the screaming day
There's a man who lives his life
And there's a boy who uses his knife
There's a girl who milks a cow
They have to life this any how

Time's fine
Six o'clock and go
Now I feel alone and lucky
Get my car and drive into the fields
Where I have to work to get my money

Listen, listen oh listen
It's the sound of the screaming day
Who asks to live with you and me in any way

Listen to the sound of the screaming day
Listen to the sound of the screaming day
There's a man who lives his life
And there's a boy who uses his knife
There's a girl who milks a cow
They have to life this any how

1.8 - Together We Live, Together We Love

I send my bird to a golden cage
Where it can sing its song of love, love
It takes along the golden key
Than you unlock the door of love

Then think of me, then think of me
Cause I send you this golden key

When you accept this little gift
Remember please the song of love
And when you're ready
Then show it now that you're in love

Then think of me, then think of me
Cause I send you this golden key
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love

I send my bird to a golden cage
Where it can sing its song of love, love
It takes along the golden key
Than you unlock the door of love

Then think of me, then think of me
Cause I send you this golden key
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
Together we live together we love
……………………………..

1.9 - I’ve Just Lost Somebody

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha, please let me dream

Though I know that love ever happened this way
I'll be here until she will return one day
Here low, I am dreaming, she must appear again
I've just lost somebody
A-ha please let me dream

She came down from far away and smiled at me
In one moment I found out how love can be
Then I realized that she had gone again
I've just lost somebody

1.10 - Just A Little Bit Of Peace In My Heart

The rainbow hides no treasure, oh believe me it's not true
And there ain't no mixture, that will give you back your youth
No mystic machine that makes the sand turn to gold
Like there ain't no magic word, that holds you back from getting old

I catch a branch and I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart, oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture, can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to me, and now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part
There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

I catch a branch and I break it in my hands
Like you broke my heart, oh I still can't understand
No mysterious mixture, can heal the wound you've made
Only time will bring peace to me, and now I just hate

Oh I'll break up and give it all up
No more lies, no more rainbow treasures
No more fairytales, no more games for me
It's my life, my life, a pleasure

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part
There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part

The time rolls by, the days go by
When will I learn to stop wondering why
Despairing I'm going down on my knees
I'm begging, begging, begging, oh please

There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part
There's just a little bit of peace in my heart
There's just a little bit of happiness I'll part
 

2.1 - Radar Love

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says: I need you here
And its half past four, and I'm shifting gear

When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's coming on Strong
And the newsman sang his same old song
One more radar love's gone

When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
Don't need no letters at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love

2.2 - Dong-Dong-Di-Ki-Di-Ki-Dong

Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong

You gotta sing it, oh everywhere
In New York City, Memphis, Delaware
We’ll sing it loud, and you’ll be proud
To sing it with me, until eternity

So you hear this melody
Well sing it along and you’ll feel free
You feel uptight and upsight down
Well sing it along and join me around

Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong

You gotta wear, a pair of ugly old jeans
To dance in California, Nashville, New Orleans
You gotta swing and you gotta move me
You gotta make me feel glad
You gotta make me feel groovy

So you hear this melody
Well sing it along and you’ll feel free
You feel uptight and upside down
Well sing it along and join me around

Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong

Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong
Dong dong diki diki dong
And your heart goes dong diki diki dong

2.3 - Where Will I Be

Where will I be when the sun won't shine anymore
Where will I be when the moon won't smile anymore
Where will I be
Where will I be

Maybe there's a place to hide from the frost
A place where life can get lost
Until then the end is near
And the skies will never be clear

Where will I be When the sun ain't shining
Where will I be When the moon ain't smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be When the children stop crying
Where will I be When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm

Where will I be when the sun is burning
Where will I be when man is yearning for deliverance
Where will I be

Where will I be When the children stop crying
Where will I be When the sun comes near flying
Faster than a bird
Is this again the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm

2.4 - Another 45 Miles

Here comes the night
A veil over the light
In the distance some shadows of the clouds in the sky
I've got to get home, to my child, my wife

Here comes the night
I'm scared to death, got to get me a ride
It looks like the road is swallowing me up
Gotta hurry home, don't dare to look back
Blueville is straight ahead

Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish the sunlight should burning in my eyes
Instead of chase my ??? of the sky
Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son

Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish the sunlight should burning in my eyes
Instead of chase my ??? of the sky
Another 45 miles to go
Another 45 miles before I'm home
I wish I could pay the sun to run
Then I had some more time, with my wife, my son

2.5 - Holy Holy Life

In bad times when it's dark and cold
And you got no place to rest your soul.
There's laughter behind your back
Then its sees the devils though the dead
Then it seems easy these days
Or do I see it in a different way

Holy Holy life
Sometimes is lonely.
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is sad.
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is lonely.
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is sad.
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is phoney
But sooner or later
They’ll find you dead.

Holy Holy life
Sometimes is lonely.
Sometimes is phoney
Sometimes is sad.
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is lonely.
Sometimes is phoney
Sometimes is sad, so sad
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is lonely.
Sometimes is phoney
Sometimes is sad.
Holy Holy life
Sometimes is lonely.
Sometimes is phoney
Sometimes is sad.

2.6 - She Flies On Strange Wings

Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as a shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting in the Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

2.7 - Buddy Joe

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare
Are you sure there's nothing there
And if there is don't say
You have not been told
You have not been told

Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold.
What have they done with the gold
Well I don’t really know.

You'll understand he didn't stand a chance
Everybody was shouting commands
When Buddy Joe split in a hurry
And he was ready to be buried whole.
He was ready to be buried

Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold.
Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe
What have they done with the gold.

2.8 - Stand By Me

I don’t care if you need more lovin’
More than I can give you everyday
I don’t mind if you sleep all over town
If you only care for me, than I don’t have to say

Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me

I don’t care if you drive my car
And go ridin’ with some rock ‘n roll star
You wanna make love and you tell him you’re free
But when we’re together, please stand by me

Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me

Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me

2.9 - Instant Poetry

Washing machine Space age dream
Let me serve you Keep me clean
Rinse me plain Spin me sane.
I'll trust my dirt to only you.

See me wish from eight to all day long.
(l've) Got no time
I'm not inclined to hum a song.
Just like a robot waiting for a fuse
I'm too crazy to even have the blues.

Instant, Instant, Instant poetry
Too hot to be continued next week
Instant, Instant, Instant poetry
Too slow, to slow to be tongue in cheek

T.V. syndrome - holy custom
Millions squeeze you to their bosom.
You're always welcome - drive out boredom
Your one eye's all the art we need.

See me wish from eight to all day long.
(l've) Got no time
I'm not inclined to hum a song.
Just like a robot waiting for a fuse
I'm too crazy to even have the blues.

Instant, Instant, Instant poetry
Too hot to be continued next week
Instant, Instant, Instant poetry
Too slow, to slow to be tongue in cheek
Instant, Instant, Instant poetry
Too hot to be continued next week
Instant, Instant, Instant poetry
Too slow, to slow to be tongue in cheek

2.10 - Kill Me (Ce Soir)

Remember that song called "Kill me"
From Vick Tim’s last LP
Too much of a risk for a golden disc
The price he paid for money

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

Sing your song, you can't go wrong
Attempted his business adviser
No need for alarm, you'll come to no harm
He didn't mention the sniper

Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star

The news is read, the poison's spread
One yawn ah, two yawn ah, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
Come on, mama, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie

Vick played the part, with all his heart
He was not prepared for the shock
When howling lead, bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock
A new martyr for the book of rock
The Book rock
New martyr for the book of rock
