All I want
Copyright Kathy Freeman
Welcome to the hall of mirrors
Welcome to the fun of the fair
This is where I wasted half my life
Chasin something that wasn’t there
Welcome to the party
It’s the one that never ends
Ah come on get me out of here
I wanna be your friend
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
And I want it all
Been trapped inside this web of lies
From here to kingdom come
Breaks my heart to think about
The damage that’s been done
But you’re the best thing I’ve ever seen
Since God knows when
Wanna know just what it’s like
To feel good again
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
And I want it all
Anyone can try to use you
Anyone can promise the earth
Anyone can tell you all kind of things
You don’t know what that’s worth
But you gotta believe me
I ain’t lyin’ when I say
I might as well go straight to hell
If I ever throw your love away
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
And I want it all

Life Number Nine
I got nine lives
Don’t you tread on my tail
I got nine lives
Gonna cross your trail
Served my time and I paid my dues
Gonna scrape the shit from off my shoes
Eight lives down but I’m still around
And life number nine is mine all mine all mine
I got nine lives
Stroke me and I’ll purr
I got nine lives
Don’t you ruffle my fur
Served my time and I paid my dues
Gonna scrape the shit from off my shoes
Eight lives down but I’m still around
And life number nine is mine all mine all mine
Number one I’d just begun
Number two it was still brand new
Number three had me runnin’ up a tree
Number four I was back for more
Number five more dead than alive
Number six had to learn new tricks
Number seven was my nine-eleven
Number eight I had to get it straight
But life number nine is mine all mine all mine
I got nine lives
You better treat me right
I got nine lives
I can still scratch and bite
Served my time and I paid my dues
Gonna scrape the shit from off my shoes
Eight lives down but I’m still around
And life number nine is mine all mine all mine
And life number nine is mine all mine all mine
And life number nine is mine all mine all mine

Here It Comes

HERE IT COMES
Everybody’s talkin’ but it
Just sounds the same
I’m on a Kamikaze mission round
The dark side of the brain
I got a date and it just won’t wait
I feel the darkness coming
I feel the darkness coming
Got in a car and it went too far
And I’m still strapped to the wheels
Ain’t gonna waste another breath
Tryin’ to tell you how that feels
Cos I got a date and it just won’t wait
I feel the darkness coming
I feel the darkness coming
Here it comes……
Everybody’s tallkin’ but it
Just sounds the same
I’m on a Kamikaze mission round
The dark side of the brain
Cos I got a date and it just won’t wait
I feel the darkness coming
I feel the darkness coming down

Take The Money

Take the money
So you think I should entertain for free…?
But what the hell have you ever done for me?
So you think I should give it all away ?
Shut up and listen cause I’ve got things to say
I saved five years for my SG
Five years for my AC
Where were you when I laid that money down?
Where were you on those long hard nights?
Broken dreams and bar-room fights?
Where were you when the bad times came around?
So you think that music should be free for everyone?
Uh – uh ! I’ll take the money and run
Five years for my SG Five years for my AC
Five years for my SG Five years for my AC
So you think that music should be free for everyone?
Uh – uh ! I’ll take the money and run
Take a look at my beautiful SG
Take a look at my beautiful AC
Where were you when I laid my money down?
Runnin’ on empty, drivin’ blind
Crashin’ through all the danger signs
Strange I don’t recall you comin’ around.
So you think that music should be free for everyone?
Uh – uh ! I’ll take the money and run
I’ll take the money and run
Five years for my SG
I’ll take the money and run
Five years for my AC
I’ll take the money and run
Five years for my SG
I’ll take the money and run
Five years for my AC
Run ….. run…… run ……run ……run….. run ……run …..run
Five years for my SG,
Run run run run run run run run run run run run run RUN
Five years for my AC

When Your Ship Comes In

When Your Ship Comes In
We are two sides of the same coin
Two halves of the same mystery
Each is a part of the same bleeding heart
That’s the way it’s always gonna be
I can’t give you want
I wouldn’t know where to begin
But what the hell, I’ll raise my glass, I’ll wish you well
When your ship comes in
I should have done this, I should have done that
I should have turned this whole thing round
They expected the best when we fell from the nest
But it’s a long way down
I can’t give you want
I wouldn’t know where to begin
But what the hell, I’ll raise my glass, I’ll wish you well
When your ship comes in
We are two sides of the same coin
Two halves of the same mystery
Each is a part of the same broken heart
That’s the way it’s always gonna be
I can’t give you want
I wouldn’t know where to begin
I can’t give you want
I wouldn’t know where to begin
I can’t give you want
I wouldn’t know where to begin
But I will be there, I’ll be punching the air
When your ship comes in

Walk On In

Walk On In
One step further, one step more
A step beyond what went before
Come on, make yourself at home
Beyond these walls, we’re alone
Help yourself to what you need
I’ll make you laugh, I’ll make you bleed
Walk on in
Walk on in
Walk on in
Be my guest
The past is breathing down your neck
There’s so much stuff you can’t forget
But I don’t care about your life
Your daughter or your ex-wife
Take a look at what we got,
Cause noone gets a second shot
Walk on in
Walk on in
Walk on in
Be my guest
One step further, one step more
Step right through that magic door
One more secret, one more lie
You”ll never know until you try
Who cares what the others do
Let’s drink to me and you
Walk on in
Walk on in
Walk on in
Be my guest
