  Missionary Man
  Well I was born an original sinner.
  I was borne from original sin.
  And if I had a dollar bill
  For all the things I’ve done
  There’d be a mountain of money
  Piled up to my chin…My mother told me good
  My mother told me strong.
  She said “be true to yourself
  And you can’t go wrong.”
  “But there’s just one thing
  That you must understand.”
  “You can fool with your brother –
  But don’t mess with a missionary man.”

  Don’t mess with a missionary man.
  Don’t mess with a missionary man.

  Well the missionary man
  He’s got God on his side.
  He’s got the saints and apostles
  Backin’ up from behind.
  Black eyed looks from those Bible books.
  He’s a man with a mission
  Got a serious mind.
  There was a woman in the jungle
  And a monkey on a tree.
  The missionary man he was followin’ me.
  He said “stop what you’re doing.”
  “Get down upon your knees.”
  “I’ve got a message for you that you better believe.”

  Thorn In My Side

  You gave me such a bad time
  tried to hurt me, but now I know…

  Thorn in my side.
  You know that’s all you ever were.
  A bundle of lies.
  You know that’s all that it was worth…
  I should have known better
  But I trusted you at first.
  I should have known better
  But I got what I deserved…

  To run away from you
  Was all that I could do.
  To run away from you
  Was all that I could do.

  Thorn in my side.
  You know that’s all you’ll ever be.
  So don’t think you know better
  ‘Cause that’s what you mean to me…
  I was feeling complicated.
  I was feeling low.
  Now everytime I think of you
  I shiver to the bone…

  When Tomorrow Comes

  Underneath your dreamlit eyes
  Shades of sleep have driven you away.
  The moon is pale outside
  And you are far from here.
  Breathing shifts your careless head
  Untroubled by the chaos of our lives.
  Another day – another night
  Has taken you again my dear.
  And you know that I’m gonna be the one
  Who’ll be there
  When you need someone to depend upon
  When tomorrow comes…
  When tomorrow comes…

  Wait till tomorrow comes – yea yea…
  Wait till tomorrow comes – yea yea…

  Last night while you were
  Lying in my arms
  And I was wondering where you were
  You know you looked just like a baby
  Fast asleep in this dangerous world.
  Every star was shining brightly
  Just like a million years before.
  And we were feeling very small
  Underneath the universe.
  And you know that I’m gonna be the one
  Who’ll be there when you need
  Someone to depend upon
  When tomorrow comes…
  When tomorrow comes…

  The Last Time

  Well the first time that I saw you
  You were standing in the rain.
  You were waiting at the station
  For the last connecting train.
  Well – who will you go to
  When there’s no-one to betray?
  And I said – who will you go to
  When your best friend turns away?
  Hey hey…

  Last time you’re gonna let me down.
  Last time you’re gonna
  Fool around with me…

  There’s a garden full of roses,
  There’s a necklace full of pearls.
  You have come to take the roses
  To give to other girls.
  Well – I am just a pretty thing
  You wanted for a day.
  There is nothing left between us
  There is nothing left to say…
  Hey hey…

  People like you
  Can be so mean.
  People like you
  Just don’t come clean.

  The Miracle Of Love

  How many sorrows
  Do you try to hide
  In a world of illusion
  That’s covering your mind?
  I’ll show you something good
  Oh I’ll show you something good.
  When you open your mind
  You’ll discover the sign
  That there’s something
  You’re longing to find…

  The miracle of love
  Will take away your pain
  When the miracle of love
  Comes your way again.

  Cruel is the night
  That covers up your fears.
  Tender is the one
  That wipes away your tears.
  There must be a bitter breeze
  To make you sting so viciously –
  They say the greatest coward
  Can hurt the most ferociously.
  But I’ll show you something good.
  Oh I’ll show you something good.
  If you open your heart
  You can make a new start
  When your crumbling world falls apart.

  [Chorus repeats…]

  Let's Go!

  He was the kinda guy
  I liked the way he looked.
  He had a red silk tie –
  He had a forties suit.
  And I said – “You’re the kind of person
  I’ve been longing to adore.”
  “You’re the kind of person
  I’ve been waiting for.”
  He said – “The time is right to take a chance
  ‘Cause I’m looking for a brand new romance.”
  “So come on baby let’s go outside –
  I’ve got a car in the drive and we can take a ride.”

  “So let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”
  “Let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”

  Well – we went driving for an hour or so
  Till we took the little Chevy down to Mexico.
  And I said – “Blue eyed boy, you know I love the way you look.”
  “Why don’t we find a preacher
  Who can get us hooked?”
  “You know the time is right to take a chance
  ‘Cause I’m looking for a brand new romance.”
  And the great big moon
  Was a shinin’ down
  He said “Forget about the preacher man,
  Let’s do it on the ground!”

  “Let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”
  “Let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”

  Take Your Pain Away

  If I could find a way
  To soothe your troubled mind
  Then I would erase your fears
  And help you to unwind.
  I would ease the burden
  That you carry everyday.
  Oh – don’t you know I’d find a cure
  And take your pain away.

  Take your pain away
  Take your pain away…

  And even though you’re far from here
  Don’t forget I’m always near.
  Find comfort in these words I send
  In this cold world.

  Take your pain away
  Take your pain away…

  For every aching heart
  For every broken soul…

  So give up your worries
  They’ll only do you harm.
  There is no need to be concerned
  It’s just a false alarm.

  [Chorus repeats…]

  A Little Of You

  There used to be a time
  I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
  There used to be a time
  I’d show my gentle side to anyone
  Through these years of wandering
  I know I’ve been deceived.
  Through these years of wandering…

  And everytime you try to hurt me
  You know you’ll only hurt yourself.
  And everytime you try to hurt me
  I know you’ll be the one to suffer
  When you think you’re hurting someone.

  A little of you – a little of me –
  A little of you –
  Is hurting someone –

  Don’t tell me I’m the only one
  ‘Cause I don’t need that space.
  Don’t ask for love
  I’ll throw it back in your face.
  All of these promises
  Were only made to break.
  All of these promises…

  [Chorus repeats…]

  In This Town

  I could be anywhere else but here
  But the rain won’t let me go.
  There’s a photograph
  Hanging on my wall
  Of a place I’ve never been to…
  I’ll never make the grade
  (Feels like Sunday everyday)
  And I can’t stop the rain
  (Feels like Sunday everyday)
  What do the papers say?
  (Feels like Sunday everyday)
  Get up and go now!

  In this town – something’s gotta change.
  In this town – something’s gotta change.

  I’m looking at the world –
  Looking for a scene –
  Waiting for a day –
  Filling in time like I’m digging
  My own grave…
  I’ll never make the grade
  (Feels like Sunday everyday)
  And I can’t stop the rain
  (Feels like Sunday everyday)
  What do the papers say?
  (Feels like Sunday everyday)
  Get up and go now!

  I Remember You

  Well there’s a colour picture
  In my mind.
  Of all the places
  That I’ve left behind.
  The broken windows
  Where the wind blows through
  Empty shells of houses
  That have turned to ruin.

  Oh – we were so young.
  We didn’t realise
  Just what we’d done.
  Oh – we were too young.

  And I remember you.
  You were the back yard boy.
  Hiding in the wreckage
  Of broken dreams.
  Standing by the railway line.
  Standing.

  Oh – we were so young.
  We didn’t realise
  Just what we’d done.
  Oh – we were too young.

  And all the sweetness
  Has been taken out of this place.
  So many memories
  Are knocked down or replaced.
  And I can’t stand to see
  The shifting time
  Taking me further –
  Leaving you behind.

  [Chorus repeats…]
