Track Name: when the circus comes to town
when the circus comes to town
they pitch there tent down by the lake
people lock all the windows and doors
in case the tigers should escape
no one sleeps at night
they're all dreaming about the clowns
it ain't all fun and games you know
when the circus comes to town

when the circus come to town
when the circus comes to town
it ain't all fun games you know
when the circus comes to town

she's up on the tight rope
she's working on one wheel
she has an eye for the fire eater
but that's a love that's to surreal
on one seems to notice
I think the tent could burn down
I'm hearing bells and whistles
when the circus comes to town

when the circus comes to town
when the circus comes to town
it ain't all fun games
when the circus comes to town

she walks out of the smoke
she's looking like Jesus
the Vail has been lifted
I feel the love between us
I don't know where shes going
but I know that's where I'm bound
I love that bearded lady
when the circus comes to town

when the circus comes to town
when the circus comes to town
I love my bearded lady
when the circus comes to town .
Track Name: good for you
we're more or less in the place we had hoped to be
missing parts ,but maintaining our dignity
it's taken time to balance the fears and the doubt's
and show the world we know what we're talking about

if it's good for you ...babe
if it's good for you ....babe
if it's good for you
It's even better for me

you're never on your knee's when Sunday comes
or wailing at the wall with the chosen ones .
and if there is a deity
and you choose to speak with them secretly

if it's good for you ...babe
if it's good for you ....babe
if it's good for you
It's even better for me
if it's good for you ...babe
if it's good for you ....babe
if it's good for you
It's even better for me
Track Name: rock star
holed up in the Jewelry Quarter
making music for days and days
heading down to the "smoke" tomorrow
we are going to make this music pay
hollow bodied guitars , make us look like rock stars
skin tight jeans , border on the obscene
I got my Chelsea boots ,the girl said I look so cute
I'm living so large
I'm gonna be a ROCK STAR

We made a deal with Virgin (10)
they changed our ways they changed our look
holed up a house in the country
writing songs with lots of hooks
"I won't make you stay"
I've been searching for "Trust"
I'm living so large
I really must be a ROCK STAR

one ...there's no money
two ...there's no show
three...we're not ready


one ...there's no money
two ...there's no show
three...we're not ready

you know what they say ..nothing ventured nothing gained
I'm living a live with no regrets
really famous you just haven't heard of me yet
I'm living so large
I'm really a rock star


one ...there's no money
two ...there's no show
three...we're not ready

one ...there's no money
two ...there's no show
three...we're not ready
Track Name: whats new with you
whats new with you
I guess its been a while
they said you'd crossed the Ocean ..
I guess that was a lie
I thought my heart would stop
If I ever looked into those eyes
whats new with you ..it's been a while
do I have time for coffee ?
yes I believe I do .
girl you're looking so amazing the years have been good to you
I thought my heart would stop
If I ever looked into those eyes
whats new with you ,its been a while .
so we sit and we talk
you tell me that you live alone
he just walked out and left you
and you know you did nothing wrong
how I would never understand that kind of pain
no matter how I tried ..so
whats new with you it's been a while

over and over
I let you back in
to feel your breath on my face
your skin on my skin
you have the nerve to tell me
about a pain I don't
do you forget how you fucked me over
I'm letting you know
here's something knew
I'm over ..over you
goodbye
Track Name: house of sin
she has a little house back in the woods
she has a little house way back in the woods
she has a little house back in the woods where there is no sin
It has no number ,it has no bell
its way past heaven ,its close to hell
there's a little house back in the woods where there is no sin
and some pay with money
some pay with there hearts
some are here for the honey
some are looking for a new start
in the little house back in the woods where there is no sin

she prays everyday no one will come
she prays everyday except maybe the one
she prays everyday she will be alone
she prays everyday in the house of sin


she prays everyday no one will come
she prays everyday except maybe the one
she prays everyday she will be alone
she prays everyday in the house of sin
Track Name: polly on the mopstick
Harry Cornflake and Bill Skate
Polly on the mopstick by the front gate
show jumping in the back yard
clothsprope pole vault that was kind of hard
and our neighbour has a German Shepard named Fritz
Maureen O'Day has great big ...teeth
I don't care if the sun don't shine I guess I must be happy all the time
I guess I'm doing fine .

so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever

now there's a World Cup tournament on the green
the first to three is the next one in
there goes the little red head
she's a babysitter ,her mothers a mid-wife or maybe a stripper
the new kid on the corner has a Johnny Seven
I think I've died and maybe gone to heaven
it must be heaven

so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever

Slow dancing around the Ring around we go
such a beautiful thing
With Ruby and Jimmy and so many others
I give a shout out to the Bollock Brothers
Kevin Brian Tony and Ray
and all the little ladies I forget ...noway
you know who you are

so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
so good I hope it lasts forever
Track Name: save a place in your heart
Let me rock you in my arms
we'll dry the tears for your lost love
I know that one day you will love again
girl I know just what you're going through
I know what that boy has done to you .
believe me when I say ..
the best is yet to come

save a place in your heart
save a place in your heart
save place in your heart for a love that's true .
save a place in your heart
save a place in your heart
save place in your heart for a love that's true .

Let me tell you of another love
that was long before your mother
someone broke my heart
I thought that I would never love again
but you have witnessed everyday the new love
that came my way
you were raised in the heart
of a love that's true

save a place in your heart
save a place in your heart
save place in your heart for a love that's true .
save a place in your heart
save a place in your heart
save place in your heart for a love that's true .
Track Name: hushabye
hushabye hushabye
you'll hear the wind blow

the children lay in there bed
they could not sleep
the wind rattled the windows, they were scared
this was not there bed
this was not there home
this was grandma's house

hushabye hushabye
you'll hear the wind blow

she told them don't fear the wind
that wind you hear keeps the monster at bay
that wind you hear keeps the banshee away
so don't rear the wind ...and

hushabye hushabye
you'll hear the wind blow
hushabye hushabye
to hear the wind blow

but the children could hear something else
deep in that rattling wind...something else
"come to me , come to me "...
and I'll take care of you
come to me come to me
I'll be there with you ...

They could feel it in the toes
they could feel the creeping cold on there legs
and deep deep in there bellies
it was cold , it was so cold
they felt it in there arms
they felt it in there finger tips
as all feeling faded away
like the night fading into
the children ..the children
they were gone ...

hush the wee ba
the bonnie wee ba
hushabye hushabye
I'll be there with you ....
Track Name: my mistake
when there is nobody
just a smoking gun..
and days turn into weeks
no one recalls who's the wounded one
it's just another mystery
unsolved and misunderstood
the passage of time blurs the line
between bad and good

my mistake ,was loving you
loving you more than they can stand
my crime , was stealing your heart away
to keep forever and a day
that's my only crime .

the players are scattered
the puzzle undone
the game is over no surprise
at the outcome
just another mystery
resolved and understood
the passage of time blurred the line
between bad and good

my mistake ,was loving you
loving you more than they can stand
my crime , was stealing your heart away
to keep forever and a day
that's my only crime .
Track Name: home
I know where I'm going
don't you worry about me
no you don't have to come this time
though I'll miss your company
know that I'll reach out for you
look for the signs
every morning when the sun comes up
know that I'm doing fine
because I know where I'm going ...

I know where I'm going
I see friends old and new
and they are so surprised to see me
they were not expecting me so soon
I sit at there table and drink of there wine
If you're wondering how I'm doing
know that I'm doing fine
I know where I'm going

you might call it heaven
you might call it heaven
I call it home
I call it home

I know where I'm going don't you worry about me
There are no holy ones around no devils chasing me
I know where going I know what I am
I know where I'm going back to the one
I know where I'm going .

you might call it heaven
you might call it heaven
I call it home
I call it home
home
home is where the heart
home where I belong
home I'm not divided
home I'm just the one
home you will remember
where you came from
home
