When he was a young man All he did was laugh When he left his home He never looked back He made a lot of money Getting dirt on his brow But he wouldn't have dug so deep Knowing what he knows now Back then he didn't even know Back then he didn't even know There were demons looking for him in that hole You gotta know How deep to dig that hole You gotta know Where to dig to find your gold You gotta know You're goin' in young, you're coming out old This fast life's a one way track Don't slow down, don't look back There's only one way out If he was hungry He wouldn't slow down There's a dirty old devil Right behind him now He'll grind you down to dust and stone Picking your teeth with one of his bones He had fever He wouldn't leave it alone Back then he didn't even know... You gotta know..... Oh and you've got a lovely smile Yeah and you've got a lovely laugh Keep it in sunshine 'Cause the money never lasts You gotta know.....

All the time in the world is over All the time in the world is done I've been waiting and hoping and praying But it's out of time I've run And the winds of change are blowing And it's spring but it's still snowing Although it is hard to say It's harder for me now to stay 'Cause all the time in the world is over All the time in the world is done I've been waiting and hoping and praying But it's out of time I've run I can always ask for forgiveness I can always ask for more But I can't make up for lost time The time for us now is o'er 'Cause all the time in the world is over All the time in the world is done I've been waiting and hoping and praying But it's out of time I've run

Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on Ground control to Major Tom Commencing countdown, engines on Check ignition and may God's love be with you Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Lift off Here I am sitting in a tine can Far above the world Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do Ground control to Major Tom Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you hear me Major Tom? Can you... Here I am floating 'round in my tin can Far above the world Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

Raindrops they fall upon my window Each one reminds me that you're gone Can't always see that there's a rainbow Sometimes we love someone who's wrong Walking through it gets me nowhere Looking back is a mistake I reach my hand out for an answer But I reach it out too late And ooh if I could turn back time I'd do things my way It's true I'm better off for it That don't make it easier today There was a time it was so simple I was yours and you were mine We held hands down by the water The only thing we had was time Your mind it settled on uneasy Like when a bullet leaves a gun Always racing through the darkness I hope someday your light will come And ooh... One day I'll know just how to hold you I'll stop and whisper out your name Far away you'll hear me calling And we'll both smile through the pain And ooh... And ooh... It ain't easier today

I'm your bottom dollar baby Strong as a ship I smell like a backlot I crack like a whip I'm your bottom dollar baby Strong as a ship I smell like a backlot I crack like a whip I'm the woody in the can In the bottle of a drunken man Cigarillo, Cigarette Shovel pieces of a broken bet Highway seven forty nine But I don't want to see no cryin' Take a ride to the edge of town But I don't want no money down Silver mickey on the floor But I don't want to see no cryin' And I don't want to see nothing anymore I'm your bottom dollar baby.... Highway seven forty nine But I don't want to see no cryin' ake a ride to the edge of town But I don't want no money down Silver mickey on the floor But I don't want to see no cryin' And I don't want to see nothing anymore She's ringing in the year And taking down the walls Smile and pretend that you're not loving her And if you let her in She'll kick you while you're down Never believe that you're not loving her I'm your bottom dollar baby, yeah I'm your bottom dollar baby

Methinks I sees a host of craft Spreading sails alee As down the Humber they do glide Bound for the Northern Sea Methinks I sees on each small craft A crew with hearts so brave Gone off to earn their daily bread And battle with the waves And it's three score and ten boys and men Were lost from Grimsby Town From Yarmouth down to Scarborough Many hundred more were drowned Our herring crafts and trawlers Our fishing smacks as well Sailed off to fight the bitter night And battle with the swell Methinks I seem them yet again As they leave the land behind Casting their nets into the sea Some herring shoal to find Methinks I seem them yet again And they're all on board all right Their nets rolled up Their decks cleared off The sidelights burning bright And it's three score and ten... The October night it was such a fright It was never seen before There were masts and yards and broken spars Been washed along the shore There were manys a heart of sorrow There were manys a heart so brave There were manys a fine and hearty lad Who found a watery grave And it's three score and ten... And it's three score and ten...
