EARTHMOVER (Keith, Hannon)

Now I know why the man on the moon

Won’t show his face, I wouldn’t if I was you

Go running high, think it’s better you do

Playin’ no hide and seek, keekaboo

If it wasn’t for you, if it wasn’t for me

Where in the world, where in the world would this world be

Why do we lie, till [our face is hot and] blue

How can I rely, countin’ on you

No I don’t mind, long as it’s true

You got the old in with the new

It wasn’t working for you, it wasn’t working for me

So how in the world could we stand and watch while this world bleeds

One more day, could be all it takes, to burn this damn place to the ground

Down to the seeds

One more change, we’re gonna rip this entire place

Up off the earth and split the seeds - except for you and me

Why don’t we cry, instead of laugh in the face

How can we deny we’re destroying this place

No I’m not fine - with what?

If it wasn’t for trust, peace and harmony

If it wasn’t for love, tell me where in the world would this world be

One more day, we might rip this entire place

Up off the earth and split the seeds - burstin’ in two

One more change, we’re gonna take each entire race

Turn it all around and split the seeds

(Solo)

If it wasn’t for land, if it wasn’t for see

All the trees, all the ocean, all the air we breathe

If it wasn’t for life and all of us

Now tell me where would this world be, yeah

One more day, could be all it takes, to burn this damn place to the ground

Down to the seeds

One more change, we’re gonna take each entire race

Turn it all around and split the seeds - except for you and me

One more day, may rip this entire place

Up off the earth and split the seeds - bursting in two

One of these days, just watch and see, the [blues] is gonna show its face

And that’s the end for you and me!

Cry (Tesla)

CRY (Keith, Hannon, Wheat)

Any day at all, any time, any way it take me to make you mine

I would give it all, give it all and more

Give you more than you could ever want from me

If anything they say is true, you gotta have ‘em, if you wanna sing the blues

‘Cos some nights, there ain’t nothing I can do, but

Cry, cry an ocean

No use tryin’ to hide what’s slowly dying in me, what’s slowly dying in me

Now I will confess, was no second guess

With all your love you left to me, it was a mess

Once there was a time, was no compromising

You [left so life can’t do possess]

If anything they say is true, what goes around will be coming to you, I know

Some night, there’ll be nothing you can do, but

Cry, cry an ocean

No use trying to hide what’s slowly dying in me

Cry, do you feel that it’s over

What you may fear is still alive, it’s slowly dying in me

I cried, guess you’re crying now

(I’m blind to the end, I cried...)

Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be

Tried to be everything I could, for you, from me, all I could be

Tried, tried to be everywhere I could, for you, cried out my eyes for you

For you

(Solo)

Take no bad talk, I ain’t a toy, I won’t be somebody’s boy

My heart ain’t [chasin’] no game and if I do play, I’m takin’ my time

Take no bad talk (I take no), take no bad talk (ah, hell no)

I won’t be your boy, ain’t gonna be a toy

If anything they say is true, anytime it should be coming for you

Cry, cry an ocean

No use trying to hide what’s deep inside of me

You can cry, do you feel that it’s over

Don’t you come crying, no don’t come crying, don’t come crying to me!

Mama's Fool (Tesla)

MAMA’S FOOL (Keith, Hannon)

Out on the road, and a long long way from home

Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood

While my intentions, my intentions all are good

Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should

Just like they should

Too many times, too many times payin’ the price, just for the thrill

Too many hearts, too many times, overkill

So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal

How many folks gettin’ to be over the hill

She always told me things, like those weren’t made of sugar and spice

She always scolded me, "Don’t let the same dog bit you twice"

Well I, Lord I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - well I’ve just been fooled again

Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too

Too many hearts goin’ straight down the tube

Hell of a dude, did it but don’t have the time and the words for use

Too many rounds, too many times, overuse

She’s always telling me, "Just take your time, always think twice"

Forever scolding me, "Don’t let the same dog bit you twice"

Well I, hell I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool

Mama I ain’t no fool

Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time

Somebody’s gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!

(Solo)

She’s always telling me, "Take my advice boy and just think twice"

Forever scolding me, "Don’t let the same dog bit you twice"

Well I, Lord I won’t be fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool

Mama I ain’t no fool - I’ve just been fooled again

Mama she ain’t no fool - I may be crazy but I ain’t no fool

Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain’t no fool

Crazy but I ain’t no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy

Crazy but I ain’t no fool

Out in the cold, and a long long way from home

Action Talks (Tesla)

ACTION TALKS (Keith, Skeoch)

Hey, what’s the deal man, don’t it feel like something’s goin’ on

What’s goin’ down what’s goin’ around, and I’m gonna get some

What’s this I see, a familiar face, and it’s coming my way

I said I don’t know who it is, it might be you and this just might be my day

Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks

Action talks - you got something to say

Action talks - start talking, or get your walking

Action talks - start making your move on me-yeah-yeah

Sure was not nice, but wasn’t going right, forget the consequences

Let’s work it out instead of workin’ out

We’ll work it over till we get it right

What’s this I need, now what’s this I like, it came, you sent it my way

Till I realized all the innocent lies, it was gonna take my heart outta me

Action talks - now action talks and bullshit walks

Action talks - we got something to say

Action talks - nobody talkin’, ain’t no one walkin’

Action talks - no use in puttin’ the blame on yesterday

(Solo)

So here’s the deal, it looks like it feels, they got it goin’ on

They know it’s going down what’s going around, while we’re waiting, how come

So the queen don’t get to lose the president

Don’t hear a word they say (fuck you!)

They come together as one and maybe get the job done

Instead of blaming yesterday

Action talks - action talks and bullshit walks

Action talks - you got something to say

Action talks - no use in cryin’, no use in runnin’

Action talks - no use in puttin’ the blame on yesterday

Action talks - no blamin’ yesterday, say what you mean

Say what you mean (oh talk to me, talk, talk)

Say what you mean (just talk to me), say what you mean

Start talkin’, start talkin’, start talkin’

Say what you mean, you got a lot to say, you got a lot to say

Say what you mean, nobody’s stoppin’ you, nobody’s stoppin’ you

So tell me, what the fuck don’t you say

Need Your Lovin' (Tesla)

NEED YOUR LOVIN’ (Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch)

I’ll be lovin’ you come morning, day to day, dust to dawn

Feelin’ you’re the reason I won’t be leavin’ so

Love you in the evening, supper time and afternoon

Your days of happiness beside the month of June

Ooh, don’t want my yesterday, to wake me up, slap me in the face

Ooh, don’t let my yesterday, wrap you up and carry you away

Ooh I need your lovin’, without you baby love don’t mean nothing

Oooh I need your lovin’, ‘s got to be your lovin’ or nothing

January, and in March, February, June

Any day beside of that couldn’t be too soon

My life without you babe is a heart that’s torn

Season of love for you, storm without a warn

Ooh, didn’t want my yesterday, woke me right up, and slapped me in the face

Ooh, you let my yesterday, wrap you right up and carry you away

Ooh I need your lovin’, without you baby love don’t mean nothing

Oooh I need your lovin’, ‘s got to be your lovin’ or nothing

Took all my yesterdays of sorrow, and threw them all away

Took all that I could take, or could borrow

‘Cos today’s yesterday, today is yesterday’s tomorrow - whoa!

(Solo)

Ooh, go away my yesterday, can’t take that much, I’ll look it in the face

Ooh, wish all my yesterdays, would’ve packed it up and carried it away

Ooh I need your lovin’, ‘cos without you baby love don’t mean nothing

Oooh I need your lovin’, ‘s got to be your lovin’ or nothing - whoa!

Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, it’s your love or nothing

Ooh, all I’ve got to say it must be your love or nothing
