    Why worry


    Baby I see this world has made you sad
    Some people can be bad
    The things they do, the things they say
    But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
    I'll chase away those restless fears
    That turn your blue skies into grey

    Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
    There should be sunshine after rain
    These things have always been the same
    So why worry now

    Baby when I get down I turn to you
    And you make sense of what I do
    I know it isn't hard to say
    But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
    Our love comes shining red and gold
    And all the rest is by the way

    Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
    There should be sunshine after rain
    These things have always been the same
    So why worry now

    Follow Me Home



    Oh well the sun go down
    Celebration in the town tonight
    All day long
    They been slaughtering upon the stone
    Share out the meat
    Yeah, you really like to eat
    Come on woman, come follow me home

    Well, the priest he cries
    Virgin ascending to the skies tonight
    All day long
    I have passed my time alone
    And when the church bell rung
    I stayed out on the tower
    In a dying sun
    Now come on woman, come follow me home

    Well I don't need no priest
    But I love all of the people
    Yes I share the feast
    So drink up my wine
    Yes and the song in my bones
    I know the way
    I can see by the moonlight
    Clear as the day
    Now come on woman, come follow me home

    I Think I Love You Too Much



    I'm not alone
    You're sittin' right there
    How come I get the feelin'
    You could vanish into the air

    I love you more than anybody else, baby
    Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
    Oh baby, baby
    I think I love you too much

    If I picked you up
    Oh, you'd slip right away
    If I locked you up
    You'd find a way to make me pay

    You're gonna hurt me more than anybody else
    'Cause you know I'm an easy touch
    Oh baby, baby
    I think I love you too much

    I guess I'm gonna get you what you want
    'Cause I'm so into you
    You don't even give an inch to me, baby
    Though I've been givin' you a mile or two

    I'm not alone
    You're sittin' right there
    How come I get the feelin'
    You could vanish into the air

    I love you more than anybody else, baby
    Can't you tell I'm an easy touch
    Oh baby, baby
    I think I love you too much

    Ooh baby, baby
    I think I love you too much

    I said baby, baby
    I think I love you too much

    I Dug Up a Diamond




    I dug up a diamond
    Rare and fine
    I dug up a diamond
    In a deep dark mine
    If only I could cling to
    my beautiful find
    I dug up a diamond
    In a deep dark mine

    My gem is special
    Beyond all worth
    As strong as any metal
    Or stone in the earth
    Sharp as any razor
    Or blade you can buy
    Bright as any laser
    Or any star in the sky

    Maybe once in a lifetime
    You'll hold one in your hand
    Once in a lifetime
    In this land
    Where the journey ends
    In a worthless claim
    Time and again
    In the mining game

    I dug up a diamond
    Rare and fine
    I dug up a diamond
    In a deep dark mine
    Down in the darkness
    In the dirt and the grime
    I dug up a diamond
    In a deep dark mine

    I'm the Fool



    I never thought I'd be the one
    To be the raging bull
    There'd always be a smoking gun
    Who'd up and lose his cool
    I never thought I'd have to say
    I'm sorry, my love, because
    I'm the fool I never
    Fool I never thought I was

    I left my dreams with broken strings
    It's time I learnt to talk
    Stop falling over things
    Teach myself to walk
    I'm not a superman
    Or Mr. wonderful, because
    I'm the fool I never
    Fool I never thought I was

    I'm the know it all
    Trying to mend his broken heart
    But I don't know who to call
    And I don't know where to start

    Now if you should lose your faith in me
    I don't know where I'd run
    I hope you'll always let me be
    Your only one
    Am I your one true love
    Or am I too late for your applause
    I'm the fool I never
    Fool I never thought I was
    Darling, I'm the fool I never
    Fool I never thought I was

    5.15 a.m.




    5.15 a.m.
    snow laying all around
    a collier cycles home
    from his night shift underground
    past the silent pub
    primary school, workingmens club
    on the road from the pithead
    the churchyard packed
    with mining dead

    then beneath the bridge
    he comes to a giant car
    a shroud of snow upon the roof
    a mark ten jaguar
    he thought the man was fast asleep
    silent, still and deep
    both dead and cold
    shot through
    with bullet holes

    the one armed bandit man
    came north to fill his boots
    came up from cockneyland
    e-type jags and flashy suits
    put your money in
    pull the levers
    watch them spin
    cash cows in all the pubs
    but he preferred the new nightclubs

    nineteen sixty-seven
    bandit men in birdcage heaven
    la dolce vita, sixty-nine
    all new to people of the tyne

    who knows who did what
    somebody made a call
    they said his hands
    were in the pot
    that hed been skimming hauls
    he picks up the swag
    they gaily gave away
    drives his giant jag
    off to his big pay day

    the bandit man
    came north to fill his boots
    came up from cockneyland
    e-type jags and flashy suits
    the bandit man
    came up the great north road
    up to geordieland
    to mine
    the mother lode

    seams blew up or cracked
    black diamonds came hard won
    generations toiled and hacked
    for a pittance and black lung
    crushed by tub or stone
    together
    and alone
    how the young and old
    paid the price of coal

    eighteen sixty-seven
    my angels gone to heaven
    hell be happy there
    sunlight and sweet clean air

    they gather round the glass
    tough hewers and crutters
    child trappers and putters
    the little foals and half-marrows
    who pushed
    and pulled the barrows
    the hod boys
    and the rolleywaymen
    5.15 a.m.

    Congo Square



    Might be superstition but some kind of somethin'
    Goin' on down there
    Might be superstition but some kind of somethin'
    Goin' on down there
    It's an old time tradition when they play their
    Drums at night in Congo Square

    You can hear 'em in the distance
    And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
    You can hear 'em in the distance
    And the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
    That's when the voodoo people gather
    And they play their drums at night in Congo Square
    Voodoo People

    My eyes were not believin'
    What I seen there but I could not turn away
    My eyes were not believin'
    What I seen there but I could not turn away
    They had that mojo in motion
    And I seen 'em dance in trance with that snake
    Snake dance

    It might be superstition
    But when I hear 'em in the night I say a prayer
    It might be superstition
    But when I hear 'em in the night I say a prayer
    And that's 'cause I respects tradition
    Like the kind they carry on in Congo Square
    Congo Square

    Calling Elvis



    Calling Elvis - is anybody home
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Or can he come to the phone
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

    Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
    Return to sender - treat me like a fool

    Calling Elvis - is anybody home
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Can he come to the phone
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

    Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan
    You gotta tell him - he's still the man
    Long distance baby - so far from home
    Don't you think maybe you could put him on

    Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender - baby don't be cruel
    Return to sender - treat me like a fool

    Calling Elvis - is anybody home
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building
    Can he come to the phone
    Calling Elvis - I'm here all alone

    WHY AYE MAN



    We had no way of staying afloat
    We had to leave on the ferry boat
    Economic refugees
    On the run to germany
    We had the back of maggie's hand
    Times were tough in geordieland
    We got wor tools and working gear
    And humped it all from newcastle to here

    Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
    Why aye man, why aye, why aye man

    We're the nomad tribes, travelling boys
    In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
    Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
    Mixing concrete, laying bricks
    There's english, irish, scots, the lot
    United nation's what we've got
    Brickies, chippies, every trade
    German building, british-made

    Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
    Why aye man, why aye, why aye man

    Nae more work on maggie's farm
    Hadaway down the autobahn
    Mine's a portacabin bed
    Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead

    There's plenty deutschmarks here to earn
    And german tarts are wunderschoen
    German beer is chemical-free
    Germany's alreet with me
    Sometimes i miss my river tyne
    But you're my pretty fraulein
    Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
    Keep wor spirit levels high

    Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
    Why aye man, why aye, why aye man

    A PLACE WHERE WE USED TO LIVE





    This empty kitchen's where
    I'd while away the hours
    Just next to my old chair
    You'd usually have some flowers
    The shelves of books
    Even the picture hooks
    Everything is gone
    But my heart is hanging on

    If this old neighbourhood
    Survived us both alright
    Don't know that it withstood
    All the things that took our light
    You on the stair
    I can see you there
    Everything is gone
    But my heart is hanging on

    Once there was a little girl
    Used to wonder what she would be
    Went out into the big wide world
    Now she's just a memory
    There used to be a little school here
    Where I learned to write my name
    But time has been a little cruel here
    Time has no shame

    It's just a place where
    We used to live
    It's just a place where
    We used to live

    Now in another town
    You lead another life
    And now upstairs and down
    You're someone else's wife
    Here in the dust
    There's not a trace of us
    Everything is gone
    But my heart is hanging on

    It's just a place where
    We used to live
    It's just a place where
    We used to live

    QUALITY SHOE




    You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
    Hard-wearing sole and heel
    Make those tired feet feel like new
    Take your pick, black or brown
    Great for the country or the man in town
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    You don't want no stand-by pair
    'Cos these'll take the wear and tear
    Made to take good care of you
    For that trip by road or rail
    For extra grip on those rocky trails
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
    But I don't foresee too much of that
    You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
    Around in the moonlight
    With a cane and a top hat

    If you could use a change of pace
    And be excused from the rat race
    Just take a look at what's on view
    Lace 'em up, walk around
    I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    Now I wish you sunny skies
    And happiness wherever you may go
    But you got to realise
    There'll be wind, there'll be rain
    And occasional snow

    You're gonna want to smile in them
    If you're gonna walk a mile in them
    There'll be times when you'll be blue
    To laugh at rainy days and then
    Make your getaways in them
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
    Hard-wearing sole and heel
    Make those tired feet feel like new
    Take your pick, black or brown
    Great for the country or the man in town
    You're gonna need a quality shoe

    COYOTE




    Look at me coyote
    Don't let a little road dust put you off
    You can't judge a book
    Well you know that stuff
    There's a tear in my upholstery
    And a hole in my shoe
    But don't you just wish that you could
    Make half of the speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

    You can't catch me coyote
    Though there may be blood on the tracks
    There may be some bridges burning
    Behind our backs
    But I got my laundry on the backseat
    And an itinerary too
    And don't you just wish that you could
    Make half of the speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

    Now I'm a speck on your horizon
    Getting smaller fast
    An ambush wouldn't be surprising
    I hope it's better than your last

    Once again the roadrunner
    Leaves the coyote in the dirt
    You've got another plan of action
    But we all know it ain't never gonna work
    It must be hard having dog dreams
    That never come true
    And don't you just wish that you could
    Make half of the speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
    Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

    THE RAGPICKER'S DREAM




    When Jack Frost came for Christmas
    With a brass monkey date
    The rail-king and the scarecrow
    Hopped a florlda freight
    And they blew on their paper cups
    And stared through the steam
    Then they drank half a bottle
    Of ragpicker's dream where

    The whiskey keeps following
    Cold pitchers of beer
    Me and my associate
    Like the clientele here get
    The onions and the 'taters
    Rib-eyes on the grill
    Toothpicks and luckies
    And a coffee refill as

    The rail-king lay rocking
    He was leaving the ground
    Then he was flying like santa claus
    Over the town where
    He came to the window
    Of a house by a stream
    It was a family christmas
    In the ragpicker's dream there

    Were kids at the table
    All aglow in the light
    Music in the wintertime
    Sure carries at night there
    Was turkey and gravy
    Pie and ice-cream
    And gifts for each and everyone
    In the ragpicker's dream where

    The red-eye keeps tumbling
    In our glasses of beer
    Me and my associate
    Like the service in here there's
    A ten for your trouble
    You have beautiful hair
    Make the last one two doubles
    It's a cold one out there where

    The scarecrow and the rail-king
    Have started to dance
    But a nightstick and a billyclub
    Won't give peace a chance here
    I think they went thataways
    Your song and dance team
    Heading home for the holidays
    With the ragpicker's dream on

    His knees like a fighter
    The rail-riding king
    Like a sack of potatoes
    Like a bull in the ring where
    The scarecrow falls over
    With a tear in the seam
    Home for the rover
    In the ragpicker's dream where

    The red-eye keeps tumbling
    Like tears in our beer
    Me and my associate
    Like the ambience here where
    They cornered two castaways
    In a white flashlight beam
    Merry christmas and happy days
    In the ragpicker's dream

    OLD PIGWELL


    Everything was in there
    That you'd want to see
    Corned beef and onions
    And true love
    Turnips and tinned tomatoes
    Parsnips and a few potatoes
    A couple extra blessings
    From above

    Now this here mingle-mangle
    Was my best one yet
    A big old bad goulash
    Worth waiting for
    And I'm just about to dip my can
    Taste some brotherhood of man
    When I get a feeling
    That there's a flaw

    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan
    Was it you
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew
    I close my eyes
    For just a minute
    What do you do
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew

    You won't find self-improvement or philosophy
    In a dumpster sitting by
    The kitchen door
    There's plenty leek and humble pie
    Ain't too much ham on rye
    Sometimes I wonder
    What I'm looking for

    But a spoonful of forgiveness
    Goes a long, long way
    And we all should do our best
    To get along
    Add a pinch of kindness crumbling
    To your loving dumpling
    Okra for thickening
    When something's wrong

    But who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan
    Was it you
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew
    I close my eyes
    For just a minute
    What do you do
    Who put old pigweed
    In the mulligan stew
