ALL MY HEROES ARE GONE Robbed the rich to feed the poor As we fought the sheriff’s men. Sailed upon the Spanish main And came for tea again. I rode out with Jesse James As we rode across the range. Fought amongst the Indians And came home for tea again. And all my heroes have gone. And all my heroes have gone. I became Superman To stop the speeding train. But I had to hurry home When Kryptonite fell like rain. Fought the things from outer space When the martians tried to land. But I had to hurry home When my ray gun jammed. And all my heroes have gone. And all my heroes have gone. But for all my childhood games I was not prepared. To survive this adult world That struggles hard to care... And all my heroes have gone. And all my heroes have gone.

Proper Shoes 03:39
Proper Shoes Verse 1 She wears proper shoes Walking off those night –time blues see her but they don’t stare Move on down the line Move on down the line Verse 2 We called her mad Maggie May She always had something to say But she would always give you The time of day Move on down the line Move on down the line Verse 3 Lately I ain’t seen her around You usually see her around the town (Perhaps she’s) moved on to some other place Move on down the line Move on down the line verse 4 She needs proper shoes Walking off those day-time blues People see her but they don’t Care Move on down the line Move on down the line

Autumn in Paris. All the leaves had fallen down. On the boulevards of Paris they littered the ground. You told me you studied at the Sorbonne. Fate through us together. It didn’t seem wrong… I couldn’t resist your big sad eyes. Holding you close and I felt you cry. So I brought you flowers from the wrong side of town. Stayed in bed for the whole week as the rain came down. In your tiny apartment off the Boulevard St German. I lost touch with reality I couldn’t give a dam. A moment in time with no regrets… Walking hand in hand on the Isle de la Cite. The snow was falling outside the train. Speeding through Flanders would I see you again? But something was calling me. Calling me home. I left you waving, standing alone. Always remember me. Remember me please! Especially that one night on the Isle St Louis. And I’ll never forget you and spirit so free. Making that Autumn in Paris so special for me!

Cold in Clapham (Restless Heart) This restless heart This restless heart This restless heart Beats for you Beneath the gasworks light I held your hand I stole away to be with you And in the park You flew my kite You got annoyed when you lost your mitten This restless heart This restless heart This restless heart Beats for you All through the winter I went with you Crunching over the broken ice Hands turning blue Then one day You moved out Moved to another part of town And I threw myself Into my work This restless heart This restless heart This restless heart Beats for you Came home yesterday You were on the stairs Things hadn’t turned out as you planned Many coffees later We slept on the floor The place didn’t seem cold anymore INSTRUMENTAL ; This restless heart This restless heart This restless heart Beats for you Now it’s not so cold in Clapham Now it’s not so cold in Clapham Now it’s not so cold in Clapham

Black Rose Black Rose What am I doing here Black Rose You know (what) I really fear Black Rose What do you think there’ll do Black Rose If they find me here with you VERSE 2 Black Rose When you came (in)to this town Black Rose (That’s when) the word soon spread around Black Rose With your sultry skin Black Rose When can I see you again VERSE 3 Black Rose With your voodoo eyes Black Rose Water running down your thighs Black Rose You all that I can see Black Rose You’ve got a spell on me VERSE 4 Black Rose I hear that bull whip crack Black Rose Tear the skin right off your back Black Rose I hear you moan Black Rose You’ll never be on your own. VERSE 5 Black Rose Steal away across that track Black Rose I’ll steal away but I’ll be back Black Rose I’ll come callin’ when the night is black Black Rose Round the back door of your shack VERSE 6 Black Rose I must be insane Black Rose You.ve got me crawlin back again Black Rose You’ve gotta hold on me Black Rose Take away this misery Take away this misery Black Rose​(S)​​​​​UM um um um (K) Black Rose​(S)​​​​​UM um um um (K) Black Rose Black Rose
