Bad Moon Rising 02:43
lyrics
buy track
I see a bad moon rising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin'. I see bad times today. Don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise. I hear hurricanes a blowing. I know the end is coming soon. I fear rivers over flowing. I hear the voice of rage and ruin. Well don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise. Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty weather. One eye is taken for an eye. Well don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise. Don't come around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise.

Can Blue Men Sing The Whites 03:02
lyrics

Oh Lord, wish my bed wasn't silken sheets so tight I got to keep my strength up got to do a show tonight I'll have a cup of coffee while I'm taking in the news No need to have a shave 'cause I'm gonna sing the blues Well, I think I'll get a massage, maybe lose a little fat So I'll have to go downtown in my brand new Cadillac My valet comes and dresses me, I light a big cigar Because I like to look like Nimrod when I'm riding in my car Can blue men sing the whites Or are they hypocrites for singing, woo, woo, wooh? And now it's getting near the time, I gotta make the scene I change out my dark gray mohair suit put on my dirty jeans The band comes round to pick me up, I holler, "Hello, boys" I gotta mess my hair up, I'm gonna make some noise brrr Can blue men sing the whites Or are they hypocrites for singing woo, woo, wooh?

Bad Things 02:36
lyrics
buy track
When you came in the air went out And every shadow filled up with doubt I don't know who you think you are But before the night is through I wanna do bad things with you I'm the kind to sit up in his room Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue I don't know what you've done to me But I know this much is true I wanna do bad things with you, okay When you came in the air went out And all those shadows there filled up with doubt I don't know who you think you are But before the night is through I wanna do bad things with you I wanna do real bad things with you I don't know what you've done to me But I know this much is true I wanna do bad things with you I wanna do real bad things with you

I'm Alright Jack 02:31
lyrics
buy track
Don't you worry, I'm alright, Jack We've never had it so good House in Hampstead, fallout bunker Done everything we could Fitted the Rolls with a shatterproof windscreen Soon as we heard the news Harrods do a nice little teargas Even a woman can use All good men at Number Ten Everything's understood Don't you worry, I'm alright, Jack We've never had it so good Don't you worry, I'm alright, Jack We've never had it so good There's plenty of grouse at the country house We're eating as we should Hugh's at Sandhurst, everything's safe With Perkins running the farm Half a dozen shotguns in the Land Rover Ready for the call to arms Gin traps down around the grounds Trip wires out in the wood Don't you worry, I'm alright, Jack We've never had it so good

Paint it Black 02:37
lyrics
buy track
I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors any more, I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and they're all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door I must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors any more, I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
