LACEY’S BAR
I took a ride down to the city
To pass some time, take in the view
I found myself a stool in Lacey’s Bar
There she was, there she stood, I was sold
I tried to fight it, turn my back and leave
Come midnight she took my hand
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To give a smile, work her charms, break a man
Come the morning worn out, jaded
I jumped in my car, felt out of gas
I headed home to my lady
Man she screamed, slammed the door, she caught the scent
Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie
Meanwhile back at Lacey’s Bar that night
(I said) Set them up, I’ve got the time
What’s a man supposed to do now?
When he’s single, broke, past his prime
As I was stranded in the city
Back home in old suburban heights
There’s a stranger in my backyard
He stole my dog, he stole my car, he stole my wife
Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie
The barman said he knew a lawyer
A Gucci briefcase in his hand
I made the call, he said we could talk it through
When he showed, it was my lady’s new old man
I took my gun, he claimed my bullet
With just one shot, my aim was true
I smiled down on him, took back my credit cards
Hey there Judge, he stole my woman, he stole my life
Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie
Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie
Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie

’ROUND EVERY CORNER
Firefly shining through my window to where my lady once lay
Moonlight dancing in the shadows I feel the brush of your hair
Lately I smell the perfume that you wore
Hear you knocking on the door but there’s nobody there
‘Round every corner I hear your footsteps falling
I am your dancer dance with me
‘Round every corner I hear your sweet voice calling
I am your dancer dance with me
How can I forget the magic if the colours won’t dry?
Late night I can hear you breathing I feel you here by my side
Last night I saw you passing on the stairs
I saw your shadow everywhere you are with me no doubt
‘Round every corner I hear your footsteps falling
I am your dancer dance with me
‘Round every corner I hear your sweet voice calling
I am your dancer dance with me

SPIRIT RUN FREE
You can dance if you want to dance
Paint the stars in your eyes
You can smile if you want to smile
Let it be
Let your spirit run free
Follow the wind, let the world be your altar
Open your wings let the sky be your morning
Follow the wind in your heart
Spirit run free
There's a time, there's a place in time
Time to dance your parade
You can laugh if you want to laugh
Let it be
Let your spirit run free
Follow the wind, let the world be your altar
Open your wings, let the sky be your morning
Follow the wind in your heart
Spirit run free
You can dance if you want to dance
Take the world in your hands
You can fly, new horizons there
Let it be
Let your spirit run free
Follow the wind, let your world be your altar
Open your wings, let the sky be your morning
Follow the wind in your heart
Spirit run free
Follow the wind in your heart
Spirit run free

Last Goodbye

LAST GOODBYE
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
It’s a screenplay, a B movie,
Hit rewind, erase it all.
It’s a car-crash, a full head-on,
Missed the curve, and hit the wall.
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
It’s a come down, flying too low,
Hit the floor, take the fall.
And it’s a cruel world, it’s only human,
Flesh and blood, sweat and tears.
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
It’s a bad scene, it’s a no-show,
End the run, dim the lights.
It’s a new day, it’s a sunrise,
Damn it all, walk away.
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
Don’t it break your smile?
Don’t you hate the last goodbye?
