Turks Head Soup...

I can't get used to it, the way you hold my hand
The way that every little thing, you seem to understand
I can't get used to it the way you talk to me 
The way we seem to get along so easily

I have to blink my eyes
To see if I'm alive

I don't have to think, about what to say
I know it's gonna come out of me anyway
And here I am your old man
And I'll do everything for you that I can

And as the sun goes down
And the world spins round
Though I know you know 
That I love you so
I'm gonna tell you one more time

I have to blink my eyes etc...

I can't get used it, the way you spin me round
The way my feet hardly touch the ground
And you would not know 
To look at me
I'm the richest man you've ever seen


And as the sun goes down etc....

I can't get used to it x3

So we meet again 
Old wounds are open and bleeding 
And you should show me some mercy 
The past is all done 
Buried and gone 
Can't you see 
We could be so good together
Yes it's true 
A hole in the heart lasts forever

All is forgiven 
Won't you come back

Don't turn away from me 
How can you let go that easy
But if you're sure it must end
I must hear it from you 
And not one of your friends

Can't you see 
We could be so good together
Yes it's true 
A hole in the heart lasts forever

All is forgiven 
Won't you come back

Sweet Carolina, don't you know that it's true
Before the sun comes up on Dixie, I'll be home to you

I've been away from home for too long
Living the kind of life that's hand to mouth
About time I headed South
It's not that I don't like New York
It's just that I have worn out my shoes
And I sure am missing you

I know that it may sound greedy 
but Central Park aint big enough for me
So I'm heading for the trees
I've got to keep these wheels moving
I guess I'll have to stop for gas
But hey Mister fill it fast

Sweet Carolina, don't you know that it's true
Before the sun comes up on Dixie, I'll be home to you

Sweet Carolina etc...

Skin em up move em out
Get down to the Turk's, scream and shout
Is everybody in

When you're tired of singing the blues yourself
And you just wanna listen to someone else
When the tank is running low
And you need something to get you up and go

Skin em up, move em out 
Close that door, keep the cold wind out
Is everybody in

When there's something weighing on your mind
And you can't scratch it or leave it behind
When all the cards are stacked against
Get out the front door and get ye hence

Skin em up, move em out 
Get down to the Turk's, scream and shout
Is everybody in

Cause the show..is..about to begin
Is everybody in .....

Here we go again

Is everybody in
Skin em up, move em out 
Get down to the Turk's, scream and shout
Is everybody in

One cup of coffee ain't enough to sustain me
No amount of understanding can see me through
I need something a little stronger
Something that lasts a little longer
To get me there and back again

I've tried sympathy, I've tried cups of tea
I've tried everything, even therapy
I need a place where they never close 
And where we're going no one knows
And I'll get there and back again

As far as I can see, She's never coming back to me
We could talk a thousand years 
I could cry a million tears 
But no matter what you say to me
Heaven is the place I want to be

One cup of coffee ain't enough to sustain me
No amount of understanding can see me through
I've been putting on a little weight 
Dreaming dreams when I'm still awake
But I'll get there and back again

I knew that I was holding dynamite
When you said your loving was true
Put all my money on a winner
Put it all on you

One day I got mad and called your name in anger
And you just turned on your heel 
Put all my money on a winner
I know just how it feels

Lost all I had 
Since I've been without you
Wouldn't be so bad 
If I knew that I could find you
But you gave me no clue I could follow 
You never even said goodbye to me

Now you know I can't explain the way I feel about you
In any way that I try
But I know that when you went and left me
I know how I cried

So I stay awake at night until the light comes by my window
And all that I see is your face
I think on those things that I have thrown away 
And how it all went to waste

Lost all I had etc..

Big Guns from Nashville, Tennessee 

Take a walk down, Kilburn Highroad
There's a song in every bar
From County Cork to Belfast City
They come to hear the pick guitar
We were out, looking for trouble
Young Pat Rafferty and me
Down the street, we hear a caller 
We go to take a look and see

He said Heh,Yeh 
Come on and hear em play 
Best thing you'll ever see
Over here, for one night only
The Big Guns from Nashville, Tennessee

Green as green,17
And all 5 sheets to the wind
You're too young son, get on home 
And he would not let us in
But all things come, to those who wait
And he turned his back too long
So that night, I will remember
Every time I sing my song

I know, I am going to go 
Far across the sea
One day, I am going to play 
With the big guns from Nashville, Tennessee

Heh, yeah come on and hear them play etc........

What have got to say for yourself now babe
Now that I am leaving you 
What have you got to lose
The two of you held the key for me
Damn near drove me crazy
I have grown weary of sleepless nights with you
Is that a broken heart in the corner of your eye
Something to remind you

You made our love a teardrop waiting to fall
There are those that can't love right 
I just can't love wrong
When you're lonely in the night
I hope you will recall
You made our love a teardrop waiting to fall

I cannot forgive you for betraying loves' keys
Though I will always care for you 
Cause I've loved you half my life
If I give my heart again I hope that I'll remember
Love is but a fragile thing and love fuels the fire
When I think of all the years your love has taken from me
I can't believe I'm leaving you

I was born an orphan
Didn't know that I was bad
They put me into care
Before I could hardly stand
I've been on the run now
Twenty years or more
They take me to confession
I don't know what it's for

Save me ,Throw me a rope
Come on, it ain't no joke, no joke
You gotta save me
Save me now 
Before the rain comes down

They put me into prison 
For something that I've done
When I stood up for sentence 
I was the only one
I'm looking for revenge for
Living in this hole
I'm on the road to hell but
I won't be travelling alone... Save me etc...

All I am is trouble
All I bring is shame
People close their doors at
The mention of my name
When I get out of prison 
I'm heading for the hills
I ain't the kind of man who
Stays to pay the bills... Save me etc...

If you could see me now
The one who said that you would rather roam
The one who said you'd rather live alone 
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now 
Just for a moment make you mine 
Just for a moment turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

Cause I've been too long in the wind 
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for the freedom of your chains 
To be lying in your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere in the darkest night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now

I can almost feel it
Lying in your loving arms

I know you've seen me hanging around
On the edges of your crowd
It's about time I said hallo
Here I am saying it now

I know you got hundreds hitting on you
And all I am is just one more
I don't want to influence you
I know the choice is yours

But I have got to be the one.....who
The one who takes you home tonight
I have got to be the one....who
The one who gets the call
The one who takes it all

All I want is just one night
You can see what I can do
I don't want to twist your arm
But let me lean a little on you

But I have got to be the one.....who
The one who takes you home tonight
I have got to be the one....who
The one who gets the call
The one who takes it all

I know you wanna tell me every thing's OK
I know you wanna say that this time you'll stay
About time we talked about it anyway
Cause the magic has started slipping away

Like a flower knows when its time to die
Our love has gone but there's no need to cry
You won't find mercy in an eagles' eye
The winter is here and there's no more time

I know that you love me 
I know that you care 
But I know, I can tell X3
When it's over

I know its gotta happen 
I just don't know when
'Cause we cannot live on the now and then.
All things must end to begin again
And the gladness comes when its spring again

I know that you love me etc.....
