CD Slow Motion

Slow Motion (2002)

1. Slow Motion

Slow motion, slow motion baby
We want our love to last
Everything's so rushed why try to go so fast
It's easy to lose sight and then the moment's passed

Go easy, go easy baby
You know there's time for us
Even though this world seems to be speeding up
Maybe we can try to slow things down

Because we need to draw the line (draw the line)
Because we need to make the time
Because we need to sip the wine (sip the wine)

Because the clock is running, and it's going so fast
The future's coming but it's soon to pass
It's here today and there's no turning back

Go lightly, go lightly baby
In time we'll find a way
It's never over till it's over
Why rush it through
Never pausing to admire the view

Slow motion, well if we get tired then we can rest awhile
If we're gonna go, we're gonna go in style
Isn't that what life is all about?

2. Little By Little

Oh I don't know anymore
Oh I Just don't know anymore

Think of what you're saying, I really think you should
You better stop complaining it won't do you any good
You know you should have done the right thing
When you drew your master plan
But little by little, I'll try to make you understand

Oh you don't know anymore
You got so far from the shore

You're one in a million, if you could only see
But you're less than perfect vision, can't see the woods before the trees
Gonna shake you 'till your bell rings, you're like a ship that's lost at sea
But little by little, I'm gonna bring you back to me
Little by little I'm gonna bring you back to me

You got to get back home, 'cos you got to change your ways
You can't do it all alone, 'cos you got too much as stake
So get to it right away

I'm gonna set out on a rescue, until this mission is complete
Oh yes you know I'm gonna get you, I'll make you listen to my plea
You thought the grass was greener, but then it didn't prove to be

3. Broken Hearted

You make me nervous when you're flying around
The secret service couldn't track you down
You tell me no then you kiss me
You say hello then you ditch me
You try to run when you see me

I never knew what this dream was about
You say lets go then your lost in the crowd
I don't know where you're going
You won't show then you're showing
I don't know then I'm knowing

You're always busy when I call on the phone
(Stop stop)
I'm broken-hearted, are you made out of stone
(Stop stop)
Snakes alive why yuh grievin'
It's 6 to 5 and I'm leavin'
I can't stand no more teasin'

I wrote a letter I couldn't get her
Some other fella was going to tell her
This kind of weather you need a sweater
It's geting wetter drink Amaretto
Light as a feather
Ain't no one better
You wearing leather
Ain't nothing better
I'm going to renta a
Simply Lambretto
I want to wed her
The day I met her

Love me hug me shove me you blow me away
You bug me snug me club me you fill me with with praise
You tell me this way or that way
But take it thin way or fat way
I say it's my way or highway

4. Over You

Trouble is my calling card
That's my middle name
Ever since you walked away, things are not the same
Now my life is misery, don't know what to do
Yes your gone, your history but I can't get over

Over you .......

Used to be in Shan-Gri-La, life used to be so good
You and me were going so far and that was understood
But ever since you walked away, my world has turned so blue
So now I live from day to day 'cos I can't get over you

Over you .......

Give our love another chance, (another chance)
You could make it so (make it so)
Just how this could go so wrong, I will never know

Well I want you right next to me, and that's all I can say
And I've been calling ever since you drove me away
You were on my mind so long, it's hard for me to take
Now my heart is not so strong, and it might break over you

Over you .......

Oh yeah over you, over you
Over you, over you
Give our love another chance (another chance)
You could make it so (make it so)
Just how this could go so wrong, I will never know

You can wear a wig and some elevator shoes
Make yourself twice as big, but I'm still coming after you

5. Tenth Avenue Breakdown

Well now, how yuh doin', do I know you?
Are you livin' round here?
Or just passin' thru
Seems like I met you before, how you do

Take care while you're in there, the lights are low
Tho' the gals look good, they're not the kind you wanna now
But sit back, drink a stiff one, enjoy the show

"They got nothin' on me, nothin' I can see
Nothin' that could do me wrong
Cos' I'm in my disguise, they'll never get wise
There's nothin' that could cause alarm'

One hit, that'll do yuh
You won't look back
You'll be feelin' no pain
Put you right on track
Why don't you do it again
Now your getting the knack

Let's go to a new place, the lights look good
Reflecting the rain, across the neighborhood
But who's that over there, looks like he's up to no good

"Hey what cha' doing to me, is that a knife that I see
Are you tryin' to bring me down
I'm a tryin' to run
But my legs are all numb
I'm messin' with the wrong side of town
You're on the wrong station, you're on the wrong track
You lost your reservation, now you can't get back
You're getting a shakedown, unlucky for you, 10th avenue breakdown

"S' Getting rough, just too tough, I'm all abused, so confused
I gotta go, I feel so low, just can't wait it's getting late"

"Don't know who came, he just set upon me
It's all kinda vague and I'm kinda groggy
But you must believe me, he just stopped breathin'
I didn't do it, it wasn't me
I know it wasn't me

It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait

6. Sting In The Tail

Well I don't care about the summer rain
I know it's good for the garden
Don't care what blue skies,they turn to gray
But when you come around, and try to run me down
The storm clouds darken...mmm...yeah

I don't get down when the leaves go brown
It's just the charm of the season
Things in nature have their reason
But when you come along, and try to do me wrong

Well the first time I'll ignore it
But don't you push beyond the pail
But when you're gonna find there's no more water in the well
You may think your gonna walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee

The wind blows cold as the year grows old
That's just the natural way it goes
I feel the chill from my head down to my toes
Each time you call my name and tell me I'm to blame

Well the first time I recall don't you push beyond the pail
Then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
You may think your gonna walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee

I said the first time I'll ignore it but don't you push beyond the pail
And then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
You may think you're going to walk right all over me
There's a sting in the tail of this honey bee

Yes there's a sting in the tail
Well the cold wind's going to blow
Let it rain, let it snow
And don't give me your grief
I can't take it anymore...

7. Bee In Your Bonnet

I keep on churning away, but pay no mind
You don't know nothin' 'bout me, but that's alright
I tell you true, that I'll be there and that's for sure
You gotta let me go everywhere, let me through that door
Let me through that door

You say you gotta bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there is a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you'll be liable, to read it in the bible
But I ain't going to say anymore

You can't build enough in a raw, don't kid yourself
You gotta know they're all insane
They're goin' ridin' on the range
Don't need no hi-fly strutter
Go babe, your drivin' me crazy

You gotta new shiny beau
It don't pay to love
It don't pay to love

You say you gotta bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there is a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

Well there you go blaming yourself
There you go hiding so deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's gonna find out somehow

You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

Lie, cheat, and beg, borrow, steal
Gotta find a way to be real
Show me something I ain't seen before
Gonna make it through that door
May be in love and love it's true
But it's a romance that you can't prove
Give me something and take it away
Gonna get it right some day
You gonna get it right some day

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more

But there you go blaming yourself
And there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

But there you go blaming yourself
So there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
That's OK..... you're going to live to fight another day

8. Goldrush

Bless my heart and soul
I've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
Lets get into town

I am living down by the creek
In the myre and the mud
No liquor for a week
I feel the cold in my blood
There's a very busy lady
On her knees in the sludge
Well I do believe she's crazy
You know she's working like a drudge

Bless my heart and soul
She's discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

Even though she smelt like a drain
She's an angel to me
Her intentions are plain
And the whiskey is free
Drinking out another bottle
Keep it cool in the dirt
It's a waterbaby heaven
I got the papers in my shirt

Bless my heart and soul
We've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

You work hard all your life little honey
But you can't afford to save any money
You lay it down you leave the town
To see what you can find

For more than 20 years you're a diggin'
But you can't believe what you are a pickin'
A piece of change just like a mountain range
Well fever gonna lay you down!

9. Dead Man's Blues

Goin' through my life
Day by day
Wonderin' why
And what road it'll take
Sometimes low
And sometimes high
I gotta find a reason
To live by

Well I've been seaching
Far and wide
Over the water
Beyond the sky
And I've been watching the moon above
Smiling down at me
What you thinkin' of

What's he thinkin'
Way up in the sky
People tell me
Where my future lies

There ain't no promise
No guarantees
Ain't no wisdom
Be laid on me
And it's a low down dirty shame
But I gotta find the answer just the same

I ain't feelin'
Nobody cares
I gotta feelin'

Well I've been playin' the Dead Man's Blues
And now I need a drink
It's going to be on you
The day of judgement ain't far away
But who'll be the judge
It's hard to say...
Yeah that's hard to say
