1. Pictures Of Matchstick Men

   Letra

   When I look up to the skies I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow I rush home to bed I soak my head I see your face underneath my pillow I wake next morning tired still yawning See your face come peeking through my window Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you [guitar intro] Windows echo your reflection When I look in their direction gone When will this haunting stop Your face it just wont leave me a-lone Pictures of matchstick men and you Mirages of matchstick men and you All I ever see is them and you You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie [guitar intro] Pictures of matchstick men, Pictures of matchstick...

3. Ice In The Sun

   Letra

   I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more But when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there But she is in a room and I must look I see her everywhere Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away She opens up her eyes as if to speak She looks at me and I am weak Her eyes they seem much bigger than before I cannot think anymore Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like in in the sun I melt away Like ice in the sun I melt away Whenever she comes I melt away Like ice in the sun I melt away
4. Down The Dustpipe

   Letra

   Heading down the back turnpike, signposts are pointing west Fell into the lonely dustpipe, hope my pick-up can stand the test But I'm doing all right now Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans But I'm doing all right now Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na Guess I didn't make it in the city, but that's just the way that it goes 'Cos there's a lotta lunatics, crazy ghostmen, baby, don't like the shape of my nose But I'm doing all right now Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans But I'm doing all right now Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans But I'm doing all right now.....

6. Paper Plane

   Letra

   Riding on a big white butterfly I turned my back away towards the sky I closed my eyes to look for something Saw myself as really nothing Then I realised my butterfly Wasn't really up there with me We all make mistakes, forgive me Would you like to ride my butterfly Riding on a long blue paperplane Getting seasick, sorry once again Landing strip is getting nearer Hope the foglifts, make it clearer Then I realised my paperplane Wasn't really up there with me We all make mistakes, forgive me Would you like to ride my paperplane Riding in a three grand Deutche car A to B is often very far Home is near, but such a long way Legs and heads all feel the wrong way Then I realised my Deutche car Is only there to get me somewhere Even so I really do care Would you like to ride my Deutche car

8. Break The Rules

   Letra

   Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car I asked no questions, I got no lies A one off winner, I didn't want any ties And I knew it wasn't right Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower She stopped the motor by her own front door I knew she'd done it so many times before But I was off of the floor But everybody has to sometimes break the rules I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down 'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town Then I saw the face from the night before My purse was empty lying there on the floor But like I told you before That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool But everybody has to sometimes break the rules Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

    When I got home that night early one morning Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table I drank a toast you were the most the night before Roll over lay down and let me in Roll over it's a long way where I've been Roll over lay down and let me in Roll over lay down When I get home tomorrow night after this morning Show me the care you showed in the note the night before Maybe I won't take a drink from the table Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor Roll over lay down and let me in Roll over it's a long way where I've been Roll over lay down and let me in Roll over lay down When I get home tomorrow night after this morning Show me the day, show me the note the night before Maybe I won't take a drink from the table Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor Roll over lay down and let me in Roll over it's a long way where I've been Roll over lay down and let me in Roll over lay down

    Letra

    How d'you know the music when you don't know the score Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more Is it really the reason when it is not a need Are you trying hard to write it before you can read Hold you back, hold you back, and slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down, you've gotta try Does the clock that you're watching ever tell you 'bout the time Does the song that you're singing sound to you like a rhyme Will there be an answer when you stop asking why All because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down, you've gotta try How d'you know the music when you don't know the score Do you think that you can make it when you don't need no more Is it really the reason when it is not a need Are you trying hard to write it before you can read Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down, you've gotta try Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down
16. Again And Again

    Letra

    Once upon a time not so very long ago There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear Nobody cared about the colour of his hair Everybody came to see and let the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock Time didn't matter never living by the clock Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time But still the people came to listen to the good times roll Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
