Take Me in Your Loving Arms Tonight


Every time I'm near her
Her smile takes me away
From this world of disappointment
To our lovers holiday

And sometimes in the darkness
I feel her start to move
Coming close to me just when
The chill of night sets in

Take me in your loving arms tonight
Take me in your loving arms tonight
Don't leave me cold and blue
Dreaming about you
Take me in your loving arms tonight

Baby I can't promise
A life without a care
But I swear I'll be faithful
Till the man calls me upstairs

And if it all gets crazy
And you feel you need to leave
Come close to me and then
I'll prove my love again

Take me in your loving arms tonight
Take me in your loving arms tonight
Don't leave cold and blue
Dreaming about you
Take me in your loving arms tonight

Oh they'll be hard times and troubles
But we'll always have this love
Nothing can ever come between us
Cause baby we can rise above

Take me in your loving arms tonight
Take me in your loving arms tonight
Don't leave cold and blue
Dreaming about you
Take me in your loving arms tonight

I Love That Car


I got a candy apple red mustang
There's nothing faster
Zero to sixty in nothing flat
Yea she's a go getta
If you wanna see her, you better look quick.
She'll be history before you can blink
I love that car
I love that car

Once had a women but I let her go
I just couldn't keep her
She wanted me to trade her for an Eldorado
Not my red senorita
No one comes between us and that's a fact
I keep her engine humming and I'm proud of that
I love that car
I love that car

Women will come and go in your life
They always what you to give
Some what your money
Some what your soul
But my sweet little ride
Just wants to rock and roll

If you need satisfaction in your life
You don't need a bartender
Buy your self a junker and fix her up
There's nothing finer
She won't ask no questions or tell you no lies
And all she wants to do is take you for a ride
I love that car
I love that car

California


That Santa Anna Breeze is calling me

Back to the wine country

Where the rivers flow like chardonnay

And the music plays all day


You and I will be rolling

Down that gentle hillside

Watching the balloons rising

Over the Bristlecone Pines


California

California

She's the midnight moon that follows you home

Just to make sure you're OK

She's the gentle breeze blowing through your hair

When the Sun comes out to play

California


I remember lake Anza

Playing guitar down by the shore

Serenading the angels

Like an Island troubadour


The days were long and sunny then

But now the time has flown by

And I miss the pure inspiration

Of the California sky

Faithful Companion


When I have a need for conversation

Her voice helps me unwind

And I feel at ease as she reveals her special meaning


Listen as she gathers information

For a moment we leave it all behind

While the world outside our door is haplessly waiting


Faithful companion

Guide us through these days

Faithful companion

Take the wheel as our ship sets sail

Faithful companion


Sometimes very late in the darkness

She comes to me and takes control

And I’m overwhelmed by the love I feel

And I know there’s nothing in this world as real


Faithful companion

Guide us through these days

Faithful companion

Take the wheel as our ship sets sail

Faithful companionFont size


Love Comes and Goes


Sun streams through my bedroom window

As I crush my cloud blue pillow

Like a mothers alarm clock

It just won't go away, it just won't go away


We're all on missions of our own

No time to stop and say hello

We're just falling aimlessly

Like leaves on their journey

To the frozen ground, not making a sound


Love comes and goes

Like a midnight Train

That takes you to the

Pleasure and the pain

Love comes and goes

It'll leave you weak

Like a heart attack

Love comes and goes


If only we could just look up

From our designer coffee cups

And find some eyes to look into

And listen to their truth


We're all on missions of our own

No time to stop and say hello

We're just falling aimlessly

Just like leaves on their journey

To the frozen ground

Not making a sound


We're all on missions of our own

No time to stop and say hello

We're just falling aimlessly

Like leaves on their journey

To the frozen ground, not making a sound


Love comes and goes

Like a midnight Train

That takes you to the

Pleasure and the pain

Love comes and goes

It'll leave you weak

Like a heart attack

Love comes and goes

Too Big To Fail



Once we were the light on the hill
A beacon a for the world to see
We stood for truth and justice
Yea that was the American way

Now our government bows to Wall Street 
And does just what it's told
They declare war for profit
They must have sold their souls


It's a corporate need
It's corporate greed
It's corporate domination

Too Big to Fail
The laws don't apply
Too Big to Fail
No need to justify
It must be swell
When your too big
Too Big to Fail

The supreme court's in their pocket
They have gone beyond their reach
Corporation's are now people
And money is now speech 

They spend our taxes on warfare
Then they cry about the national debt
There is no money for healthcare
'cause they gave it to the one percent

It's a corporate need
It's corporate greed
It's corporate domination

Too Big to Fail
The laws don't apply
Too Big to Fail
No need to justify
It must be swell
When your too big
Too Big to Fail

With senators in their pockets
They believe they're chosen by God
To control the wealth of nations
With a wink and a nod

Too Big to Fail
The laws don't apply
Too Big to Fail
No need to justify
It must be swell
When your too big
Too Big to Fail

Framed


Annie Walsh was murdered at the age of fifty one

She was a Manchester factory worker.

Jack Butler arrested Margaret Brown's son

He claimed he was the perpetrator


His name was Bobby, he was just nineteen

He was jailed, October seventy seven

Justice Milmo, said he didn't believe

And told the jury it's a simple decision


There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station

They're sharing the proceeds of crime

There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station

And everyone is involved


Believe the detectives or believe Bobby Brown

That would be the jury's decision

Everyone discussed it, all over town 

And it was a short deliberation


They convicted Bobby while his mother cried

He got life in Kirkham prison

Based on all Jack Butler's lies

And the jury's quick decision


There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station

They're sharing the proceeds of crime

There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station

And everyone is involved


Bobby was vindicated 2002

Thanks to solicitor, Robert Lizar

He never forgot the cry for truth

In the eyes of Bobby's mother


Now Annie Walsh's killer is still hiding

And it don't look likely he'll be found

But eventually the lord will find him

And he'll burn in hells fire for what he's done


There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station

They're sharing the proceeds of crime

There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station

And everyone is involved
