Hot Streak Gone Cold (Words: Carl Dixon Music: Dixon/Mike Lunn)

I had a pretty good run at the tables
Man, I was really on a roll
Lucky as sin, my ship came in
Everything I touched turned to gold
Yeah, nothing could catch me
And nothing could slow me down
I never thought it would ever stop
But the king has lost his crown
Can’t count on love or money
It comes and goes
Hot streak gone cold
Just another hot streak gone cold

When lady luck is good
Mm she’s very, very good
But she’s a little like you, right out of the blue
Baby goes bang and there’s nothing you can do
Your love is pain and pleasure
It comes and goes
Hot streak gone cold
Just another hot streak gone cold (gotta pick it up)
Hot streak gone cold (don’t worry)
Just another hot streak gone cold
What goes around, comes around
So pick yourself up from the ground
What goes around comes around
So find a little love

Strange Way To Live (Words: Carl Dixon Music: Dixon/Hall)

Little sister’s running from a green baby haze
Stumbles to the corner, hasn’t seen the sun for days
Looking for the vampire last seen dealing in the park
Busted for possession now he’s really made his mark

And it’s a strange way to live for a young thing
A long way to come back from the edge
She’s walking on that line; gone before her time
It’s a strange, strange way to live

She goes to see the Half-man he can give her what she needs
Half-man looks her over and he don’t like what he sees
He says “little sister, where’ve been and how’d you get this way?”
She begs him for a little taste to get her through the day

And it’s a strange way to live…

Old father confessor gets the wrong end of the stick
Tries his best to help her but it only makes her sick
Why’s she so tormented now? She’s just not seeing clear
Haunted by the voices that only she can hear

And it’s a strange way to live

Shadow (Words: Carl Dixon Music: Dixon/Hall)
Just try to look at the bright side
They haven’t finished us yet
When we’re not falling from heaven
We’re trying to climb out of debt, yeah
I’ve got a strange idea; head in the clouds
No argument allowed no, no

Get gone a midnight run
Shadow of the morning sun
High time we had some fun
We’ve got to walk on, yeah

This buzz is makin’ me reckless
I’m wired right out of my brain
This is my latest conviction baby
Just let me try to explain
I ain’t getting’ any younger; time to move on
Or opportunity is gone, gone, gone

Get gone a midnight run
Shadow of the morning sun
High time we had some fun
We’ve got to walk on

Got nothin’ to lose; shed no tears
In a few short moments we’ll be out of here

Get gone a midnight run
Shadow of the morning sun
High time we had some fun
We’ve got to walk on

We’ll slip away under a moonless night
Won’t stop runnin’ ‘til we’re out of sight

Into the Future (Words: Carl Dixon Music: Dixon/Curran/Neigher)

Shadows growing longer
It’s cold without the sun
One day you look around
And everyone you know is gone

There’s a light in the distance
There’s a key in the door
And there’s something beckoning
You can’t stay here anymore

Into the future you’ve already gone
Into your wildest dreams where you belong
Into the future you’ve already gone
Long Gone

Fits you like you’ve come home
Hey, where you been so long
Ghosts fade in and out of view
Temptation but you know it’s wrong

In a moment a lifetime
You can never turn back
And what you leave behind
Will fade into the black

Into the future you’ve already gone
Into your wildest dreams where you belong
Into the future you’ve already gone

Point Of No Return (Dixon)

Scanning the horizon, listening to the wind
I’ve been sitting with my headset on trying to get tuned in
Set out on a journey; had a ship to sail
Searching for eternal truth; hope I live to tell the tale

But nothing’s making sense now
The whole world’s overturned
Hold on tight ‘cause soon we reach the point of no return

Poor man’s got nowhere to go He’s trying to make his way
Prisoner of his poverty It eats him more every day
Someone’s good intentions took him straight to hell
Things looked hot but they let him walk; He had no soul to sell

Drifting like a dead man
But no-one’s too concerned
They only know he’s way beyond the point of no return

We are all contenders trying to fight our way uptown
We are all pretenders to an old and tarnished crown

Knocking on the Pearly Gates
You’ll have to wait your turn
Final destination is the point of no return

Rattled (Dixon)

I told you I forgot my medication
But you don’t listen, had to have your way
Well this is what you get
Hope you liked it, pet
I’m rattled now and I don’t wanna play
I’m rattled now and I don’t wanna play

Poor Mother Theresa took a slagging
I know how it feels but I don’t pray
Have yourself a ball
Spewing vitriol
I’m rattled now and I don’t wanna play
I’m rattled now and I don’t wanna play

No falling down no looking down
No breaking down no dumbing down
I’ve seen enough I’ve heard enough
I’ve done enough I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough

Someone took away my happy ending
Heard the blast from thirty miles away
Standing in a mall waiting for a call
I’m rattled now and I don’t wanna play
I’m rattled now and I don’t wanna play

River (Trower/Dewar)

River, keep on rising
Carry my soul to the sea
Troubled water take me with you
Following destiny
River where is the justice
When a man can stumble and fall
In the waters of confusion
Stumble and lose it all
Roll on keep on rolling
You don’t even have to be aware
That I’m there
Taking pride from the lessons I’ve learned
And joy from the river before me
River keep on rising
Carry my soul to the sea
Troubled waters take me with you
Following destiny
(Coda) Relax all thought, surrender to the void

Little Bit of Love (Rodgers/Fraser/Kossoff/Kirke)

I believe if you give
A little bit of love to those you live with
Little bit of love has got to come your way

Well in my mind it’s easy
To lose sight of the truth
But in my heart I can’t deny
My feelings inside

‘Cause I believe if you give
a little bit of love to those you live with
Little bit of love has got to come your way

Man in the sky you say you’re flying
To lose sight of the world
You wanna stay high then don’t deny
Your feeling inside

Cause I believe…

Lonely You (Pete Ham)

When I look into your tearful eyes
I don’t know what to do
And though you say that I don’t realize
I sympathize with you
Lonely you, only you yes I do
Lonely you, Only you Lonely you

And when I ask you just to be my friend
I want to lend a hand
But if we get too close it’s sure to end
Oh can’t you understand
Lonely you. Only you Yes it will
Lonely you Only you

Lonely you we really need a friend
And friends are hard to find
And harder still to keep
Lonely you Lonely me

Busted (Dixon/Curran/Broyd)

Prowl around in the middle of the night
Somebody’s gotta treat me right
Oh baby I’ve been so blind
Flesh is weak but the spirit is strong
I never knew what was really going on
Until you left me behind
I was busted, beaten up and battered
Baby you done me in
I was busted, beaten up and battered
But there’s no giving in

Don’t even know what I’m doing this for
Shot down once and still looking for more
Thinking maybe it’ll ease the pain
You couldn’t be a lover who would let me down easy
No, you had to turn it into something so sleazy
I’m never gonna get fooled again

I was busted…

I’ve gotta wipe these feelings out of my head
I’ve gotta shake your memory out of my bed
You tore the heart out of me
I’m gonna get it back get it back from you

Back to Where We Started (Dixon)

Blue eyes listen I think there’s been some terrible mistake
We were sky high on living in love
Then it all came crashing down
What a lonely sound
How’d we ever let it get so crazed
You know I haven’t seen you smile for days
But I know we could make it all better
If we’d only try ...to get
Back to where we started from
Warm as summer nights
Back to where we started from
Standing in the light

You know that old-fashioned love song
We heard driving in to work today
Well it brought back those feelings
And I wished it was you singin’ it to me
Oh, can’t you see
Sweet confusing memories
We were on the right track Baby, please
All our truth and commitment isn’t lost
There’s still a way If we can find a way to get
Back to where we started form
Warm as summer nights
Back to where we started from
Standing in the light

There’s only one way out
From the pain and doubt
Lovin’ you has made me so proud
There’s a magic place we knew
But I’m not leavin’ without you

Back to where we started from…
