Track Name: whiskey
i'm a loser can't you see
i'm a loser no one likes me
except my whiskey likes me
it keeps me feeling really good
keeps me feeling all right
for tonight, for tonight

i'm a boozer i've live no where
i'm a boozer took my kids there
but don't you take away my whiskey
keeps me feeling really good
keeps me feeling all right
for tonight, for tonight

i'm a do her turn the light out
i'm a do her i'll hold you tight now
i'll love you like i love my whiskey
keeps me feeling realling good
keeps me feeling all right
for tonight, for tonight
Track Name: fulton street jacket
fulton street jacket is sleek inside
exaggerated collar makes it stand up high
felted alpaca and wool combo
60, 40 too
Track Name: let me be
there you go again giving me the eye
look like you're about to win the big prize
just like a boy with his hand in the cookie jar
one more sweet thing won't do no harm

why don't you just let me be
go ahead and do whatever you please
you don't see no love light
when you look into my eyes
why don't you just let me be

you love your reflection you see within me
magnified greater than your mirror sees
once i take you there
you're so happy that it shows
then just like that you let it all go

chorus or instrumental solo

there you go again giving me the eye
why don't i find it no big suprise
i am to you yesterday's news
you are my daily blues
Track Name: missouri
i don't care if you leave me
you don't hold no mystique
don't care about your wife
and she don't care about me

i don't care about your home
what you do there is wrong
go live in your missouri
i'll find someone who loves me

in missouri
in missouri
in missouri

before you go and leave me
i need to say
i'll always love you
but stay away from me

in missouri
in missouri
in missouri
Track Name: married people
when i looked into your eyes
i swear
the whole universe was inside of me
we talked
that kind of tangly talk
bound up in that tension

that married people shouldn't feel anymore
married people shouldn't feel anymore
married people shouldn't feel anymore
married people shouldn't feel anymore
married people shouldn't feel anymore

when i asked him if he was happy he never spoke to me again
when i asked him if he was happy he never spoke to me again
Track Name: secret
it's a secret i love you
but you won't let me say
i love you
i really do
oooh oooh

it's a secret you love me
you can't hide it i can feel
you do show
more than you know
oooh oooh

why hide love in our world
when our world has not enough of
looooooooove
looooooooove
oooh oooh
oooh ohhh
Track Name: good to feel you here
if i love, will you care
if i turn, will you appear
fool i am, to walk them stairs
but it's good to feel you here

in my sleep, honey light
when i wake, your dark dream
tell me all, them poet lie
but it's good to feel you here

the wind howls, inside me
i turn to you, i'm afraid
when i reach, you turn away
but it's good to feel you here
to feel you here
to feel you here
it's so good to feel you here
Track Name: romania
what's there to say
about us anymore
that you are silent
says more anyhow

i didn't satisfy
i'm not your dream
adjust your reality
romania will come again
again, again
she'll come again
oooh, oooh
she'll come again
Track Name: ahh
ahh
Track Name: night is young
i said you can't come over
i said you can't come over
the night is young
the moon is full
i want you
but it's over
