Shovelling 02:51
My baby works for the sick, the lame and the poor My baby gives up her free time free to changing the law You won't find me round there I got things to live for My mother gave years to raising by hand My father did good things and bad for life, love and land You won't catch me at that You’ve got to understand - I'm too busy Shovelling shit for cash It's good to have principles I'm sure you agree But you'll never get to heaven if you don't make lots of… I could have been a saint, a martyr, a knight I could have been a dreamer I could have been someone who gives everything Some kind of redeemer You won't catch me at that My way is nearer - nearer to the money I'm Shovelling shit for cash It's good to have principles I'm sure you agree But you'll never get to heaven if you don't make lots of… Money

Local Man 02:53
Well I was just 19 Did a raid in Deptford Got a guard in the face Drove away in an Escort Drove away in an Escort To get away from the law Wide eyed in the mirror There's blood on the floor Felt excited I could not sleep I was out too early and in too deep Early next the evening About a quarter to five I stroll down to the boozer Felt good to be alive Felt good to be alive That's me in the Sun But when I look in the Mirror I left my prints on the gun I felt excited... Early next morning The cops come around They come through the window They kick the door down Kick the door down They frightened my mother She was in bed And they were undercover I felt excited... Local man makes good Local man makes money - lot’s of money Local man get shot down in flames Local man in a hurry He’s a local man… got a local plan…

High, high, high, high temperature One hundred and one We kiss and dance One hundred and two A little night romance One hundred and three O-four and o-five it gets too hot to stay alive When I see my baby Coming down the street I feel a fever Too high to beat One hundred and three O-four and o-five It gets too hot to stay alive 91 - 92 - 93 - 94 - 95 - 96 97, 98 Just a... false alarm It's over a hundred When she's in my arms One hundred and three O-four and o-five it gets too hot to stay alive

Someday Baby 02:34
Don't care where you go How long you stay The right kind of treatment gonna keep you away Someday baby You ain't gonna worry my mind any more A cold wind blows in my neighbourhood The way you’re living don’t do me no good Someday baby... You keep on betting the dice ain’t gonna pass You keep on losing You're living too fast Someday baby... Well bye bye baby you walk out the door Better leave me running walking’s way too slow Someday baby... Yeah bye bye baby you ain't gonna worry my mind any more

RnBVille 03:22
Well I'm pumping all my money in the fag machine Crying in my beer while my lungs turn green Sitting in a bar getting pissed again Cos it's the only way to get out of the rain In RnBville Playing in those steel-shop yards Learned to lose my life at cards Guess that I was born unlucky in RnBville in Kentucky At a corner table I can see my friends Plotting to steal my woman again I work all day on the factory floor And they're forming a queue at my back door In RnBville That's the way your buddies are Makes a man fall in love with his car Guess I'm just a lonely boy in RnBville, Illinois And the road map reads like it ought to be sung But there's no way out of the cold When I went to bed I thought I was young I woke up this morning to find I'm old Now my faith has been rewarded I fought the law guess who won the law did Now 76 harmonicas wail In the cold corridors of the county jail In RnBville Bread and water is a boring diet Time to start another riot Guess I could escape and go to RnBville, Mexico Guess I'm just a lonely boy in RnBville, Illinois Guess I will remain unlucky in RnBville in Kentucky Guess I'm just a lonely boy

Mama told me when I was young: “People try to con you son Got to separate truth from lies” Taste and try fore you buy Old priest trying to give me grief: “You’re damned boy if you don’t believe” Ain’t no devil gonna see me fry Taste and try fore you buy Woman looked at me woman and woman said “Pack your bags boy get out of my bed I decided you’re the wrong guy” Taste and try fore you buy This is my philosophy May not suit you but it sure suits me Got to live fore you die Taste and try fore you buy
