Dog's Life

I’m gonna tell you ’bout a hell of a week
When I should have stayed in bed like a pillow freak...
On Monday I lost my car
Could not remember where I’d parked
On Tuesday I went to the pub
Where I got beaten down to the mud
So on Wednesday I felt really down
On foot with a broken nose
My girl came home and told me
“You’re even more stupid than I thought… ”
It’s a dog’s life, it’s a dog’s life!
It’s a dog’s life, it’s a dog’s life!
And there’s no way out...
On Thursday I lost my job
Could never manage to get up
So I went back to the pub
Where I got drunk to the mud
On Friday I lost my girl
She just told me to get lost
So on Saturday I was alone
With nothin’ left but a goddamn bone...
It’s a dog’s life, it’s a dog’s life!
It’s a dog’s life, it’s a dog’s life!
And there’s no way out...
And by Sunday, I felt so miserable
That the only thing I could do was write this song...

Well it ain’t been very much fun these days
My life got lost in such a rotten maze
The slightest bugs would bury my mind down
Anywhere I’d go I’d crawl across the ground
But tonight’s all right, I’m playin’ with my band
I got my rock ’n’ rolls back on again...
My mind was like a room without windows
Whatever what I had to do I’d give a sigh
Hazier than a bunch of fuckin’ desperate hippos
Wake up, get up, drive up to work, oh my!
But tonight’s all right, I’m playin’ with my band
I got my rock ’n’ rolls back on again...
My neighbours’ pissin’ off, my boss’s bore
My girl’s mum invadin,’ peelin’ potatoes
In a mighty snap, off it all blows
As soon as I step through the Monkeys’ door!
But tonight’s all right, I’m playin’ with my band
I got my rock ’n’ rolls back on again

Leave this Town
03:53
|
|

I’m a poor imported dog
with no hope for any bone
My heart’s turned into rock,
my mind is overblown
I’ve been buildin’ homes
for them who look down on me
Been pilin’ goddamn stones
for cunts who wouldn’t turn round on me
I’m gonna leave this town
as soon as I can
I’m gonna hit the road
before I explode
In their down-lookin’ eyes
I feel like a sweatin’ slave
Next to their four-wheel drives
it’s like I’m down in my grave
I see no exit near
out of this gloomy hole
There’s no way out of here
but get the hell back home
I’m gonna leave this town
as soon as I can
I’m gonna hit the road
before I explode
No fun to be a hobo, treated as the cheapest tool
They’ll get you way down low, make you head right for your tomb
I’m a poor imported dog with no hope for any bone
My heart’s turned into rock, my mind is overblown

I'm All Right Jack !

Do you wanna know what I think ‘bout myself??
I’m sure I’m the best thing since sliced bread
I’m-all-right-Jack... I’m all right...
I thank my lucky star I was born in the purple
I’m a poor lil rich boy, I got money to burn
I’m-all-right-Jack... I’m all right...
I was given everything at my birth in a surprise pack
I won’t do your donkey work coz I ride right on the pig’s back
Hangin’ day ’n’ night showin’ off like crazy
I’m the top banana (yeah) I’m the big cheese baby
I’m-all-right-Jack... I’m all right...
I don’t give a damn about the others round me
I’m just full of myself on top of the tree
I’m-all-right-Jack... I’m all right...
I was given everything at my birth in a surprise pack
I won’t do your donkey work coz I ride right on the pig’s back
Do you wanna know what I think ’bout myself??
I’m sure I’m the best thing since sliced bread
I thank my lucky star I was born in the purple
I’m a poor lil’ rich boy, I got money to burn…
I’m-all-right-Jack... I’m all right...

Horseless Rider
03:43

Oh folks, it’s a fright how I ain’t all right
I got a burden on my mind
I can stand single life no more
Got the bad blues and my soul is sore
Is she sure gonna cross my track
Or am I bound for this sad black drag?
What if she’s there lyin’ in the shade,
Thinkin’ “What if this dude finally makes the grade?”
Oh folks, I gotta find her
I’m a horseless rider
Oh folks, I gotta find her
Oh folks, I gotta find her...
Oh folks, it’s a fright how I ain’t all right
There’s a burden on my mind
Sometimes I see her coming off the wall
Then she crumbles like a dream sand doll
Is she sure gonna cross my track
Or am I bound for this sad black drag?
When she is, well I surely will
Make her nights an everlastin’ thrill
Oh folks, I gotta find her
I’m a horseless rider...
Sometimes I see her comin’ off the wall
Then she crumbles like a dream sand doll
She may come true or it may go wrong
But it feels better to sing this song
Oh folks, I gotta find her
I’m a horseless rider...

You’re all in for a hidin’ ,
I tell ya fair and square
Sparks all around a-flyin’ ,
all legs up in the air
Kiddies betta be gone,
send grannies to bed
This hot rockin’ machine’s on,
everything’s in the red...
Ain’t nothin’ like a rock gig
to kick your trouble away
As long as the sound is this big,
it can but make your day
All that’s left in your minds
is guitar, bass and drums
Every guy is just beer-blind
and chicks are rockin’ buns...
Here’s some rock ’n’ roll for your
foamin’ , hummin’ buzzin’ ears tonight...
Anything, whatever goes,
all is turned upside down
From your hair down to your toes,
to this mess you’re wholly bound
Let the music in your veins,
let it drive you insane
Soak your eyeballs through your brains
that will end shot down the drain...
Coz we’re paid by the booze sales,
you’ll only hear drinkin’ songs
But as your judgement soon fails
you won’t notice what’s wrong
You’ll get so stoned that you’ll go
singin’ “Love me Bartender”
And past ten pints in a row,
pukin’ “Return to Sender”...
Here’s some rock ‘n’ roll for your
foamin’ , hummin’ buzzin’ ears tonight...
Drink your wits off the bottle
to the ultimate drop
But doncha think that we’ll bother
when you cheer us once we stop
Bust more glasses up, you know,
we’d rather you to do so
Before you buy our demo,
doncha fuss too much ’n’ go...
You were all in for a swindle,
I tell you fair and square
I can feel your joy dwindle
and some daze in your glare
All that’s left in your heads
is rotten mashed potatoes
Every guy is just beer-dead,
the chicks have had it up their noses
Here’s some rock ’n’ roll ...

Hip-Shake Boogie
02:25

I’ve had enough of loonie booze
I gotta get out of the blues
Hey! Pretty legs! Come to my side!
It’s all about overnight ride...
Put off your boots, take off your dress,
Let your hair loose and all the rest...
It takes a hip-shake to stiffen up the snake
And everything’s all right – let’s get it on tonight!
Let’s turn it sweet, let yourself go
Will you relax and let it roll...
I’ll make you feel just right on top!
Quiv’rin’ ’n’ screamin’ you’ll never stop...
Come on babe, you ain’t a nun,
We will have a hell of a fun!!
It takes a hip-shake...
Let’s cool it down, the sun is high...
Have mercy now, you got me dry...
We had agreed: until sunrise,
Quit jerkin,’ please, undo my ties...
Can’t you read “tilt” in my eyes?
Time has come to be wise!
It takes a hip-shake...
Shake your hip, babe...
Shake your hip, babe...
It takes a hip-shake...

Sweet sweet One
02:52

She’s one kind of her own, makes any place her home,
She’ll turn a rock into a sofa
Change rooms into houses, train seats into lounges,
There’s nothing that she won’t get over!
She has such a great nerve, and if I ever differ,
She’ll insist until I agree
She never needs to say “please” , persuasive as she is
She got me into herbal tea!
Clear out this whole road, get the hell away,
I’m rushin’ to my Sweet, Sweet One...
Every time it feels like “Jingle Bells”
To hell with everything else
She speaks faster than light
odd words that sound so bright
I’d better keep my attention sharp!
I can but love her more and more,
and more and more and more
My life’s evergrowing star
From her first mornin’ peep to the time she falls asleep
There’s that crackin’ spark in her eyes
And though she doesn’t realize, she looks oh so feline
That cats themselves get hypnotized!
Clear out this whole road, get out of my away,
I’m rushin’ to my Sweet, Sweet One...
Every time it feels like “Jingle Bells”
To hell with everything else...

Lil' Monkey of mine
03:18

I’ve been draggin’ you round on my back,
lil’ monkey of mine
We’ve been everywhere, safe in your sack,
lil’ monkey of mine
You know I am just about to crack,
lil’ monkey of mine
Coz now it’s time for some feedback,
lil’ monkey of mine
All of this just makes no sense
You gotta make amends, make amends
If I need you to drag me round,
lil’ monkey of mine
Will you only keep me safe ’n’ sound,
lil’ monkey of mine
Or will you lay me right flat on the ground,
lil’ monkey of mine?
I doubt you wouldn’t let me down,
lil’ monkey of mine
All of this just makes no sense
You gotta make amends, make amends
Safe yourself, you selfish shellfish,
Is there anything ’bout which you care?
I can no longer take your bloody rubbish
Ain’t a bloody thing you have to share
