Toys In the Attic
In the attic lights
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dreamLeaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things that you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the yearsVoices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream(Chorus)
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
Toys, toys, Toys In The Attic
Toys, toys, Toys In The AtticLights
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dreamLeaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things that you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the yearsVoices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream(Repeat Chorus) (yayayayayayayow!)

Uncle Salty
Uncle salty told me stories of a lonely
Baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
My mammy was lusted, daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted till the orphan bleeds
But when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insaneUncle salty told me when she was just a baby
That she'd get by and maybe someday she'd see
But soon she found her mother's love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers was the life to lead
But when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insaneOooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oooh, oh yeah
Oooh, oh yeah, yeah yeahNow she's doin any for money and a penny
A sailor with a penny or two or three
Hers is the cunning for men who come a-runnin'
They all come for fun and it seems to me
That when she cried at night, no one came
And when she cried at night, went insaneOooh, it's a sunny day outside my window

Adam's Apple
Back when Cain was able
Way before the stable
Lighting struck right down from the sky
A mother ship with fate said let's give it a try
Conscience was related
Man he was created
Lady luck took him by surprise
A sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Even Eve in Eden
Voices tried deceiving
With lies that showed the lady the way
At first she stopped and turned and tried to walk away
Man he was believer
Lady was deceiver
So the story goes but you see
The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree
So she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Whooooaaa......
Conscience was related
Man he was created
When lady luck took him by surprise
The sweet and bitter fruit it surely opened his eyes
Evil came like reignin
Who knows who's to blamin
Something tried to lay her to waste
And all she want and need was just a little taste
Whooa, she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Well she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right right
Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Yeah she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right right
Oh that's right -

Walk This Way
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a MUFF AND
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like thisSee-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'And I know love was here to stay
When she told me toWalk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this wayA just gimme a kiss
Like thisSchool girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like thisSeesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me toWalk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this wayA just gimme a kiss

Got me the strangest woman
Believe it, this chick's no sinch
When I wanna get her goin'
Then I whip out my Big Ten InchRecord of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues

Record of her favorite bluesLast night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
But she said now stop that jivin

Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite bluesI'll cover her with kisses
and when we're in a lover's clinch

Seems she don't go for nothin'
'cept for my big ten-inchRecord of the band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion
Sweet EmotionYou talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a yearWhen some Sweat Hot mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fireSweet Emotion
Sweet EmotionWhen I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it didYou stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about something you're sure to understand
'Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand -

No More No More
Blood stains the ivories
Of my daddy's baby grand
I aint' seen no daylight
Since we started this band
No More, No More
No More, No MoreStore bought clothes
fallin' appart at the seams
Tea leaf readin' gypsies
Fortune tellin' my dreamsNo More, No More
No More, No MoreHoliday Inns, lock the door with a chain
You love it and you hate it
But to me they're all the sameNo More, No More
No More, No MoreBaby I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriageStalemate jailbait
Ladies can't refuse
You love 'em then you leave 'em
With your sold out reviewsNo More, No More
No More, No MoreSweet talkin' barroom, ladies' disease
Slippin' with her lips
Slidin' down your kneesNo More, No More
No More, No More
No More, No MoreBaby I'm a screamer
Bound to a wife in marriage
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriageLadies hold the aces
And their lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure
But to me it's old fashionedTimes they're a changin
Nothin' ever stands still
If I don't stop changin'
I'll be writin' out my willIt's the same old story
Never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hillBaby I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage -

Round and Round
If you believe in me
Like I believe in you
You wouldn't be tellin' me things
That weren't exactly trueNow everything changes
Ain't got nothing to say
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' roundWhen it was one for all
And it was all for one
And everything that we did
Never bothered anyoneNow everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' roundCan you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And always followed the ways
Of someone elses dream(Look here)
Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my nameGoin' round n' round n' round n' round....
