Weekend.
(Baker)

Weekend has come 
Weekend has gone so fast
It's a big fat Monday 
Oh well you know how it is 
You know how it is 
Going around again.

Lady I want you 
But I can't play your game
Can't turn on the charmer
Lady it's just not in me
It's just not in me 
Too bad I can't play your game.

One of these days
One of these day by days
Said the drifter in me
Ah well you know how it is
You know how it is
Tomorrow will be the same.

Weekend has come
Weekend has gone so fast
It's a big fat Monday
Oh well you know how it is
You know how it is 
Going around again.

Days keep on rolling by
I want to make it with you
Time steady keepin on 
And take this chance with me
Days become yesterdays
And take this chance with me
Break off these day by days
And take this chance with me.


Ferry Boat.
(Baker)

I was sitting on a ferry boat
I was coating my lungs with the smoke
I was stealing a glance at a German
Who was singing the songs of his homeland
so flat.

I was sitting in a Spanish bar
drowning my liver with a beer
I was stealing a glance at the people
Who were stealing their glances at me too
me too.

There are eyes that will meet
and then eyes that will run
and will dance through the crowd
looking for anyone
There were eyes everywhere there were eyes in the bar
All along the roadside staring out of the cars
So don't say it's not true, hey, because I got eyes too.

I was lying in the heat of the sun
Watching the sea rolling in
I was stealing at a lady.

I was sitting on a ferry boat
I was coating my lungs with the smoke
I was stealing a glance at a lady
who was stealing her glances at me too
Ah but what did they mean, what did they say?
Was it come on, or roll on, or Hooray, Hooray, Hooray.

And their eyes that will meet
And then eyes that will run
and will dance through the crowd looking for anyone
There were eyes everywhere
There were eyes in the bar
All along the roadside staring out of the cars
There were eyes everywhere
eyes everywhere.

There were eyes everywhere.


He's Got Pride.
(Baker)

He's got a broken nose
And an aching heart
And he knows it shows
And his car won't start
But he's got pride.

He likes the Rolling Stones
He aint slept for weeks
He's from a broken home
He's got a hat that leaks
But he's got pride
He's got pride
He's got pride.

He's got shoes that speak 
He's a broken rule
He's got a dog to keep
Have a good day y'all
But he's got pride.

He's got a broken nose
And an aching heart
And he knows it shows
And his car won't start
But he's got pride
he's got pride 
He's got pride.

Yeah and an aching heart
And he's got pride
He's got a broken nose
And an aching heart
And he's got pride
He's got pride...


Keep On Going.
(Baker)

Too Many Crooks.
(Baker)

The evening is red the sheep will be pleased
The folk are inside and eating their teas
Now it's up to you and all down to will
Remember the mongrel that lived on the hill.

Well many true word is spoken in jest
And many lie too and Bristol lies west
And too many crooks is better than one
The words go in deep and sticks and stones bounce.

Who left that man out on the table
Roll up roll up window cleaners
What a big man he must have been
Leaves turn to brown when the summers over
Hedgehog he wakes up after winter
Talk to yourself don't talk to me, to me.

A handful of love a handful of luck
Be ready to run be ready to duck
The table is laid the oven is on
The people are fed the hunger is gone.

Who left that man out on the table
Roll up roll up window cleaners
What a big man he must have been
Hedgehog he wakes up after winter
Big blackbird waits at the window
Talk to yourself don't talk to me
Dead fish go floating down the river
Leaves turn to brown when the summers over
No place no place here for dreamers
Talk to yourself don't talk to me, to me.


Bullseye Bill.
(Baker)

Gonna tell you a tale bout a man hard as wood
Wears a gun slung so low least it looks like he should
Doesn't walk tall as most but his ideas are big
Rides a big black horse least it looks like he just did
He just did

Come across from the states where they build men so high
You might think that they failed then again so did I
Many men crossed his trail and everyone without fail
Wished they'd gone another way and had picked another day
Another day.

Bullseye Bill I'm telling you
Bullseye they're all gunning for you
You'd better watch out what you do.

Well he drove into town and he made for the bar
And he laid two men down bought a drink turned around
Once a friend cleaned him out playing blackjack one night
He drew his gun for a fight least it looked like he might
Like he might.

Wasn't mean as he seemed often gave me the crust
He'd make a peace-maker mad always kick up the dust
Up the dust.

Bullseye Bill I'm telling you
Bullseye they're all gunning for you
You'd better watch out what you do.

Just a short while ago a pretty girl caught his eye
And he gave her his heart and she told him a lie
And he gave her the knife and she ate him for lunch
Now he don't say a word he's just waiting for the crunch.

That's the end of the tale now the kids with his girl
Wears a chain round his leg and that boy may as well
May as well.

Bullseye Bill I'm telling you
Bullseye they're all gunning for you
You'd better watch out what you do.

You'd better watch out what you do.

You'd better watch out what you do.


Disco Dancer.
(Baker)

People rush and people run
The work day to an end has come
Sinking sun sits on the hill
The day is done
Father's feet up fire on
The day is over, the day is gone.

Bodies of the night wake up
Party people all make up
Disco dancers start to twitch
Playboys and girls will come alive.

Work is out the floods begin
And what a hard day it has been
Dusk is down the day is passed
And home at last
Even now the change is seen
He slaps the Brute on
He's feeling mean.

Bodies of the night wake up
Party people all make up
Disco dancers start to twitch
Playboys and girls will come alive

Bodies of the night wake up
Party people all make up
Disco dancers start to twitch
Playboys and girls will come alive.

People rush and people run
The work day to an end has come
Sinking sun sits on the hill
The day is done.


Easy.
(Smith-Waters-St. John)

No Way Out Of Here.
(Baker)

There's no way out of here 
When you come in you're in for good.

There was no promise made 
The part you played the chance you took
There are no boundries set
But time and yet you waste it still.

So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand you watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost so get it right.

There's no way out of here 
When you come in you're in for good 
And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening without seeing.

There are no answers here
When you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made 
The part you played the chance you took.

There's no way out of here 
When you come in you're in for good
And never was there an answer, there an answer
Not without listening without seeing.

There's no way out of here 
When you come in you're in for good
There are no answers here
When you look out you don't see in
There was no promise made 
The part you played the chance you took.

There's no way out of here.

There's no way out of here.


In The Mood.
(Baker)

Wasn't in the mood for dancing
I was in the mood for love
You know the one I'm thinking of 
You know the one I'm thinking of you.

Wasn't in the mood for romancing
I was in the mood for love
You know
You know
She's the woman for me, she's the woman for me.

Wasn't in the mood to be lonely
I was in the mood for you
You know what I wanted to
You know what I wanted to
She's the woman for me, she's the woman for me.

Wasn't in the mood for a midnight walk
Wasn't in the mood for a sweet talk 
I was in the mood for love
You know what I'm thinking of 
You know what I'm thinking of
She's the woman for me, she's the woman for me.

She's the woman for me, she's the woman for me.
