We Are Animals

(Manny Charlton)

I know what I need I need you
I can't see nothin' else, all I can see is you
I don't care what they say about my state of mind
I know what's good for me and you are just my kind

We are animals
We are animals
We are animals
We are animals

I know what I want I want you
Shed your cloths forget your codes
You know this is nothing new
I smell your scent I taste your sweat
I feel this passion too
Let's trust our senses not our minds
Lets break all the rules

We are animals, we are animals
We are animals, we are animals
We are animals
We are animals

Come with me, run with me, leave this world behind
Come to me, come with me, I know that we will find

We are animals, we are animals
We are animals, we are animals
We are animals
We are animals

Lady Luck

(Dan McCafferty — Pete Agnew — Manny Charlton — Darrell Sweet)

There's a woman in New Orleans
Said to love me she was born
But that was Friday payday
By Sunday she was gone

So I drove on down to Texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turn on she came from, well

Lady Luck, help me hold on
Lady Luck, help me hold on
To one that I love

Well I had no luck with women
Thought I'd try my hand at cards
So I headed for Nevada
Gonna really take them on

But the way the hands were fallin'
And the way the money goes
You could say it's getting colder
You could say I nearly froze

Lady Luck, help me hold on
Lady Luck, help me hold on
To one that I love

So I started playing guitar
In a southern boogie band
And the ladies I was meeting
Make you want to buy the farm

Gettin' tired of saving souvenirs
Don't remind me where they're from
And the nights come on like magic
In the morning it's all gone

Lady Luck, help me hold on
Lady Luck, help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady Luck, help me hold on
To one that I love

Lady Luck, help me hold on
Lady Luck, help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady Luck, help me hold on
Lady Luck, help me hold on

Hang on to a Dream

(Tim Hardin)

What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do still loving you
It's all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream?
How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I do she's saying we're through
With how it was
What will I try still don't see why
She says the things she does

How can we hang on to a dream?
How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I say, she's walking away
From what we've seen
What can I do still loving you
Is it all a dream

How can we hang on to a dream?
How can it really be the way it seems?

Piece of My Heart

(Bert Berns — Jerry Ragovoy)

Didn't I make you feel
Like you were the only one
Didn't I give you everything
That a man possibly can

But all the love I give you
It's never enough
But I'm going to show you baby
That a man can be tough

Come on come on come on come on
And take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart

You know you've got it
If it makes you feel good
You're out on the street looking good
And you know deep down in your heart it ain't right

And you never never hear me
When I cry for you each night
Sometimes I tell myself I can't stand the pain
But when I hold you in my arms I say it again

Come on come on come on come on
And take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart

You know you've got it
If it makes you feel good
Sometimes I tell myself I can't stand the pain
But when I hold you in my arms I say it again

Come on come on come on come on
And take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart

You know you've got it
So take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart
Take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart

Trouble

(Dan McCafferty — Pete Agnew — Manny Charlton — Darrell Sweet)

A ship comes in from Africa
Carrying forbidden cargo
Gonna bring somebody lots a trouble
There's a family out in Ohio
Gonna step on it and make it grow
Gonna fool some people at the double

Let it all go round
And it all comes down
A captain down in Florida
Knows a man back in Chicago

Every deal you know he's makin' money
Rico comes from Texas way
With a senorita from El Paso
Glad he's found the land of milk and honey

Let it all go round
And it all comes down
‘G' Man down in Panama
Cuts a trail to Barcelona

Diplomatic bag will be no hassle
Sails into the big T.O
Thru' the pipeline to Alaska
She's the one in town with something special
Maybe you maybe me maybe them
Look at you look at me look at them

Cut it out
You don't need it anyway
Sees its face in Tennessee
Knows a place in Casablanca

Detroit City never was a stranger
On the streets of Amsterdam
London town and all around us
Everywhere we look we see the danger

Let it all go round
And it all comes down

The Key

(Manny Charlton)

Let me in your life
Open up the door
Let me in your heart
Give me the key

You're the only one
I'll ever want
Show me the way
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key

I won't let you down
I'll never let you go
I'll love you forever
Give me the key

You're the only one
That knows what I need
Take me in your arms
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key

I don't want to wait
Another second more
I'm down on my knees
Give me the key

I'm over my head
Too far gone
You know how I feel
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key

Back to School

(Billy Rankin — Dan McCafferty — Darrell Sweet — Pete Agnew)

You didn't listen when you went to school
You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool
But now your education is about to begin
The difference between love and the mess that you're in

You figured you're cool I'll bend all the rules
I'll get them going red flags to a bull
It's not like the movies no duel in the sun
You need the answer to get your love done

Now you're going back to school
Now you're going to learn the rules
Now you're going back, you're going back
You're going back to school

You know the business or so you believe
You set all your sights but you aim to deceive
You think you'll hit the target every time that you fire
You think you know the difference between love and desire

But someone's waiting to turn you around
She'll shoot you down and put your feet on the ground
It's not like dreamin' you can make mistakes
A lesson learned is not so easy to take

Now you're going back to school
Now you're going to learn the rules
Now you're going back, you're going back
You're going back to school

Now you're going back to school
Now you're going to learn the rules
Now you're going back, you're going back
You're going back to school

You're doin' numbers but you don't keep the score
They're scratchin' the surface but they don't reach the core
You only bought the ticket ‘cause the price was "all in"
You'll never reach the heart until you've broken the skin

You're busy running but you never relax
Live now pay later including the tax
But now your education is about to begin
Forget about the stories and the places you've been

Now you're going back to school
Now you're going to learn the rules
Now you're going back, you're going back
You're going back to school
Back to school back to school

Girls

(Dan McCafferty — Pete Agnew — Manny Charlton — Darrell Sweet)

Some girls got it, some girls don't
Some girls do it, some girls won't
Some girls want to run your life
Some want to sink your boat

Girls, sweet sweet girls
Make you break you girls don't care
Wake you shake you get you there
Some girls like to play it cool
Some like to kiss and tell

Girls, sweet sweet girls
It's not new but it's gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face

Can't live with them
Can't live without them
Girls, sweet sweet girls
Girls in movies, girls in space
Girls on TV, girls that race

Some girls want to tie you down
Some girls don't want to know
Girls, sweet sweet girls
It's not true but it's gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face
Can't live with them
Can't live without them
Girls, sweet sweet girls

Some girls got it, some girls don't
Some girls do it, some girls won't
Some girls want to run your life
Some want to sink your boat

Girls, sweet sweet girls
Girls, sweet sweet girls
Girls, sweet sweet girls
Girls, sweet sweet sweet girls

Donna — Get Off That Crack

(Manny Charlton)

Donna has a nine year old kid
In another month's time she's expecting twins
She says she can quit anytime she likes
But I know she's on a mission tonight

Donna — get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna — get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back

Don't pay no bills, don't pay the rent
But you don't forget where the money went
And who will you turn to when the money's all gone
You'll wonder why, why you were born

Donna — get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back

She's down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then she'll quit
One more dance, just one more hit

Remember Frank, he cut a dash
So much style, so much class
Blown away for the coat on his back
The kid that did it sold his coat for crack

Donna — get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna — get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back

She's down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then she'll quit
One more dance, just one more hit

Donna — get off that crack
Says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna — get off that crack
Just say no, get your life back

See You, See Me

(Dan McCafferty — Pete Agnew — Manny Charlton — Darrell Sweet)

Where is the rhyme, where is the reason
Who stands to judge me in this way
Some call it choice, some call it treason
Why find me guilty on this day

Stay home and watch it on TV
Stay home and watch it on TV
See you — see me

Now is the time, now is the season
When we should have something to say
You keep your faith, I'll keep my freedom
Why should we listen anyway

Stay home and watch it on TV
Stay home and watch it on TV
See you — see me

How is there no way of pleasing
Who has the answer of the day
When will they stop all of the squeezing
Why should we play the game their way

Helpless

(Neil Young)

There is a town in north Ontario
Dream comfort memory despair
And in my mind I still need a place to hide
All my changes were there

Blue blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the skies
Casting shadows in our eyes

Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless they leave me now
Helpless, helpless, helpless

Blue blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
They leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless they leave me now
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless they leave me now
