Through northern lights on back streets - I told the
coachman, 'Just drive me on.' It's the same old destination but a different
world to sing upon. So he threw back his head and he counted. I jumped out
about five to nine. And I waved at the stage door-keeper - said, 'Mister, get
me to the stage on time.'
Oh but the rain wasn't made of water and then
snow didn't have a place in the sun. So I slipped behind a rainbow and waited
till the show had done.
I packed my ammunition. Inside the crowd was
shouting, 'Encore', But I had a most funny feeling - it wasn't me they were
shouting for. So when the tall dark lady smiled at me - I said, 'Oh, baby let us
go for a ride.' And we came upon two drinks or four and popped them oh so
neatly inside.
And the rain wasn't made of water
and the snow didn't have a place in the sun.
So we slipped behind a rainbow and lay there until we
had done.
Let me pack you deep in my suitcase. Oh, there's sure to be
room for two - or you can drive me to the airplane but don't let me catch
those rainbow blues.

Rise up all you fine young ladies and take arms for the
show. Oh, we'll put your name up in lights, put you down on Glory
Row. Would you be the star of ages to light up your own way at
night? Might be a former beauty queen with your high smile stuck on so
tightly. They come and they go down on Glory Row. It's the same old story
- yes, it the same old show.
Well hello all you gentlemen, I fear I'm a lot
like you. We're wearing the same school tie but a different pair of shoes. How
did you get to be who you are? Will your children share the blame? Is it
really worth the time it takes to carve your name on Glory Row?
Down
on Glory Row. It's the same old story - yes, it the same old show

My baby left me, my mule got lame,
lost all my money in a poker game
Wind storm came one summer's day,
carried the house and lift it away
Having so much trouble
having so much trouble
I'm having so much trouble
It's finally driving me insane
Carry me to jail my pyjamas on,
I even hate that I was born
Let me out of jail, come through town
Couldn't find my wife, she had put me down
Having so much trouble,
having so much trouble
I'm having so much trouble:
It's finally driving me insane
I pawned my watch and I pawned my chain,
I would have pawned myself but i was ashamed
Got me a job on the city pay
early one morning layed me off that day
I'm having so much trouble,
I'm having so much trouble,
I'm having so much trouble,
Bought to drive me insane
I'm having so much trouble:
It's finally driving me insane
Trouble!
To Be Sad Is A Mad Way To Be
I've been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be
I've been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be
Don't miss my point of view, without lookin'you won't see
You 'bout to believe it now: you can be happy everyday
Don't believe a little word now, you can be happy everyday
The merry time you'll ever have, you wear it down in everyway
I've been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be
I've been about dizzy now, to be sad as a man will be
Don't need to wear this thing out, you wear it down in everyway
