HUMANS ARE A BAD BREED
Oh oh oh
It’s a crying shame
It’s a shame for people
They are possibly human
A bad bad breed
They pretend to be human
But leave some creatures wondering
A bad bad breed
Don’t leave me lonely
They say
I carry the burden of life
So lonely
They say
I wear the mask
Of a bad bad breed
It’s a shame for the others
They are probably human too
A bad bad breed
They speak about stars
And tripe
So try to be strong
A bad bad breed
Don’t leave me lonely
They say
I carry the burden of life
So lonely
They say
I wear the mask
Of a bad bad breed
Keep me and hold me this way
Keep me from everything – all that they say
Keep me from him
Keep me from her
Shame on their faces
The pain and disgrace
Deep in my heart
Deep on my soul
Deep in my, deep in my, deep in my bones
I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray
It’s a bad breed
It’s a shame for people
They are possibly human
A bad bad breed
They pretend to be human
But leave some creatures wondering
A bad bad breed
Don’t leave me lonely
They say
I carry the burden of life
So lonely
They say
I wear the mask
Of a bad bad breed
It’s a bad bad breed
It’s a bad breed
It’s a bad bad breed
It’s a bad breed
Don’t leave me lonely they say
I carry the burden of life. (It’s a bad bad breed)
The say it’s a crying shame
I carry the burden of life (It’s a bad breed)
Don’t leave me lonely they say
I carry the burden of life.
Don’t leave me lonely
I think of you only
Say it’s a crying shame
It’s a bad bad breed

TAKE TO THE GRAVE WITH A BROKEN HEART
I went down to the graveyard
Just to ease my troubled mind
I knelt down by the graveside
And I hung my head and cried
It’s too late to say I’m sorry
The life I lived is just a lie
There’s a black-eyed crow
Sittin on the fence post
Maybe I’ll see your sweet face in the by and by
My weary heart will soon be gone
That broken bird will soon have flown
No one wants to know a soul so dark
They may take me to the grave with a broken heart.
If he was here on the earth
In the flesh parked up right next to you
In his dirty big old 18 wheeler truck
Tellin you that he loves you
To ease your troubled mind
Takes you to the grave so peacefully
Let me go with you
To ease my guilt and shame
I tried to give my loved ones the blame
No one wants to know a soul so dark
They may take me to the grave with a broken heart.
If he was here on the earth
In the flesh parked up right next to you
In his dirty big old 18 wheeler truck
Tellin you that he loves you
To ease your troubled mind
Takes you to the grave so peacefully
Let me go with you
To ease my guilt and shame
I tried to give my loved ones the blame
No one wants to know a soul so dark
They may take me to the grave with a broken heart.
Take me down to the river
Take me down to the waters edge
I will swim that raging river
They may take me to the grave with a broken heart
They may take me to the grave with the broken heart
They may take me to the grave with a broken heart

Angel In My Pocket

ANGEL IN MY POCKET
13 angels came today
And it cuts me up to see you this way
Your trembling hand has cut me to the bone
The stronger one is always alone
But I got an angel in my pocket
No one else can see that thing
My one and only true petition
Give me loving recognition
And things you bring
And little pretty one I know
Not a soul to hold you close
A wedding band is lost
And all is gone
The stronger one is on the floor all alone
She’s got an angel in her pocket
No one else can see that thing
My one and only true petition
Give her loving recognition
And the peace that you bring
Give me loving recognition
And the little bit of love
You bring
Now that she’s older
All the stories that she told
Are a tale told by an idiot I know
Six short stories of love is all she wrote
I got an angel in my pocket
I got an angel in my pocket
I got an angel
I got an angel
I got an angel in my pocket
I got an angel
And the sweet things you bring

Don't Dress Me Up

DON'T DRESS ME UP
Long years
And a bitter world
Stand between
Those glory days
But you talk
like you know me
And you just love
Those crazy ways
I confess
Those things
You tell me
Sound like a teenage
Loving cup
But I'm not that woman
That you think so
Don't dress me up
I don't like that thing
You wanna do
I don't need those words
You gotta say
Every thing you do
Gets in my way
Oh baby
You can't get it
Any way you want it baby
Don't dress me up
I'll dress you down
In a brand new car
I'll ride you down
You say words
Like it’s something
But there is nothing
There for me
You could turn around
And see me
I could be as sweet
As I can be
But you got your
Face right in there
Well it must have been a ball
But I can't remember
This or you
At all
I don't like the way
You wanna walk
I don't love the clothes
You wanna wear
We could be talkin straight on
If you dare
Oh baby
You can't have it
Every time you want it baby
Don't dress me up
I'll dress you down
In a brand new car
I'll ride you down
Woah……
Don’t dress me up
I tell you pretty little baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna drive me crazy
Don't dress me up
I'll dress you down
In a brand new car
I'll ride you down
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna drive me crazy
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna miss me baby
You gonna drive me crazy
Woah…..
Don't dress me up
I tell you pretty little baby
Don't dress me up
