WE'RE GONNA CRAWL See my baby coming down the track Bet you my baby's coming back Someday she'll get back to me Oh and we're gonna raise a family We're gonna groove - yeah, groove We're gonna groove We're gonna love, love, love Until the break of day Sweet as sweet as sweet can be You don't know what you do to me Let me say you're my one desire You just set my soul on fire We're gonna groove [etc repeated] Sweet as sweet as sweet can be Let me tell you, you don't know what you do to me You just set my soul on fire Woman you know you're my one desire We're gonna groove [etc repeated] |
| 2. POOR TOM Here's a tale of Tom, who worked the riverfront His wife would cook his meals, as he would check the wheels Poor Tom, seventh son, always knew what's going on Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Worked for thirty years, sharing hopes and fears Dreaming of the day he could turn and say Poor Tom, work's done - lazing out in the noonday sun Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom His wife was Emmie May - many many games she played When Tom was out of town, she couldn't keep her dresses down Poor Tom, seventh son, always knew what's going on Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom And so it was one day, people got to Emmie May Tom took a gun in his hand, and stopped all the running around Poor Tom, seventh son, gotta die for what you've done All those years of work are thrown away To ease your mind - is that all you can say? But what about that grandson on your knee? And they wrote songs as long as he could be Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Keep a-trucking - keep a-trucking |
| 3. I CAN'T QUIT YOU BABY I can't quit you babe Woman, I think I'm gonna put you down for a little while I can't quit you babe I think I'm gonna put you down for a while I said you messed up my happy home Made me mistreat my only child You build my hopes so high Baby, then you let me down so low You - you build my hopes so high Then you let me down so low Don't you realise, sweet baby? Woman, I don't know which way to go Woman, I can't quit you babe I think I'm gonna put you down for a while |
| 4. WALTER'S WALK Don't it feel so strange looking at the door? Trying hard to change, but can't let go Crying tears of pain - hurting more and more Everyday's the same as you walk the floor I'm walking the floor over you, I'm walking the floor Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold To the hand that takes your dreamless soul Is it long to wait? is it much too late? Sometimes it's hard to ignore the pain You know it's hard - I said it's hard - you know it's true I said it's hard - you know it's hard - still know it's true Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost When you hear the call can you count the cost? As you stand alone do you wonder how? Can you step aside? does it matter now? Every love that's shared isn't splendid for me In the eye of the night was it hard to see? It never fails, in spite of it all As you fight the tears in the Walter's walk You know it's true now, I'm walking the floor over you I'm walking the floor Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost When you hear the call can you count the cost? As you stand alone do you wonder how? Can you step aside? Does it matter now? Does it matter now? |
| 5. OZONE BABY I hear you knock on my door I ain't been saving this thing for you, honey Don't want you ringing my bell It's too late for you to be my honey Ooh, it's my love - ooh, it's my own true love Ooh, it's my love - ooh, it's my own true love, my own Don't want you wasting my time Tired of you doing the things that you do It's no use standing in line Fall in line - you'd better form a queue Ooh, it's my love [etc repeated] I could stay on the riverfront But I know that's just I could wish for a million years But I know I'm still alone I could cry within the darkness and sail away I could trade a lifetime forever To know you know - you know what I said Ooh, it's my love [etc repeated] |

| 8. WEARING AND TEARING It starts out like a murmur And then it grows like thunder Until it bursts inside of you Try to hold it steady Wait until you're ready Any second now will do Throw the door wide open Not a word is spoken Anything that you want to do Don't you feel the same way? Don't you feel the same way? But you don't know what to do No time for hesitating Ain't no time for hesitating All you got to do is move They say you're feeling blue Well, I just found a cure It's a thing you gotta do Well, you say your body's aching I know that it's aching Chill bumps come up on you Yeah, the fun and fooling I love the fun and fooling Just like fooling after school And then you ask for medication Who cares for medication? When you've worn away the cure Go back to the country Yeah, go back to the country Feel the change is good for you When you keep convincing Don't keep convincing What's that creeping up behind you? It's just an old friend It's just an old friend And what's that he's got for you? |
