No Place In History
Bang Bang Bang
It Came From The South
Change Is Gonna Do Me Good
Get Gone
That Thang
Under The Hood
Listen To Your Heart
Lonely Too Long
After The Mardi Gras
Hole In My Heart
Without Your Love
Hiss-On-U
Well, we thought the love was gonna save us
Yeah, we knew that it would never fail
So we plugged up all the holes it gave us
With chewing gum and fingernails
But the river kept right on flowin’
‘Til it ended up in the sea
With the two of us never knowin’
Baby, we were never meant to be
We got no place in history
Yeah, they got a place for old war heroes
You can even buy a souvenir
But for us one and one made zero
It’s as if we were never here
Guess we couldn’t take the heat of battle
The test of time got the best of me
You were ridin’ high in the saddle
Then what happened is a mystery
‘Cause we got no place in history
No place, no place, no place, no place in history
No place, no place, no place, no place in history
No place, we lost the feeling and now we can’t get it back
No place, the paint is peeling, an empty room
As we fade to black
If they ever bother to come through here
Through the dust of what used to be
No sign of life, no love, no clues here
They won’t even find a memory
‘Cause we got no place in history
No place, no place, no place, no place in history
No place, no place, no place, no place in history
No place, no place, no place, no place in history
No place, no place, no place, no place in history
Yeah, we got no place, no place, no place, no place in history
No place, (we got) no place, no place, no place in history
Here she comes in a hot pink pedal pusher
Bouffant hair from the Curl Up and Dye
Cat momma shades with the rhinestone customizing
Tell me I ain’t one lucky guy
It’s Friday night and the full moon’s shinin‘ bright
That always makes her just a little insane
Eight o’clock and I hear them tires squealin’
Pickin’ me up in her purple Fairlane
There’s a band at the rotary
Just a two dollar cover charge
We hear ‘em playin’ as we’re parkin’ the car
And it’s bang bang bang, goes the drummer
Twang twang twang, goes guitar
Dance dance dance, little Dixie
And there go goes my heart
Never forget the first time I saw her
Chuck Berry playin’ while she walked the dog
Go-go boots and a leopard skin body suit
Beat ‘bout anything I ever saw
We did the stroll and the double watusi
She never once let me catch my breath
She kept me goin’ like a steam locomotive
Felt so good I liked to hurt myself
Now, ‘bout each and every weekend
I watch her cuttin’ up a rug
And every time I just fall in love
And it’s bang bang bang, goes the drummer
Twang twang twang, goes guitar
Dance dance dance, little Dixie
And there go goes my heart
There’s a band at the rotary
Just a two dollar cover charge
We hear ‘em playin’ as we’re parkin’ the car
And it’s bang bang bang, goes the drummer
Twang twang twang, goes guitar
Dance dance dance, little Dixie
And there go goes my heart
Bang bang bang, goes the drummer
Twang twang twang, goes guitar
Dance dance dance, little Dixie
And there go goes my heart
Well, black or white, blues or hillbilly
It’s got a rockin’ rhythm knockin’ me silly
And every time I hear it, I’m as good as gone
Up or down, fast or real slow
That’s all ya hear on my radio
And I never get tired, I can listen to it all night long
Well, it scared a lot of people when it first hit town
They didn’t understand it, they were puttin’ it down
But it’s lasted up until today and we’re still rockin’ around
And when they look back tryin’ to figure it out
Where it came from and what it’s all about
It didn’t come from outer space, it came from the south
It came from real hard work, sweat from the brow
From poor people just pushin’ a plow
They made up a rhythm tryin’ to pass the time
Well, it came from the truth, it came from the heart
It came from an old flattop guitar
On a Saturday night, underneath the ‘ol moonshine
Well, it scared a lot of people when it first hit town
They didn’t understand it, they were puttin’ it down
But it’s lasted up until today and we’re still rockin’ around
And when they look back tryin’ to figure it out
Where it came from and what it’s all about
It didn’t come from outer space, it came from the south
Yeah
Oooo-oo-oo
Well, it scared a lot of people when it first hit town
They didn’t understand it, they were puttin’ it down
But it’s lasted up until today and we’re still rockin’ around
Yeah
And when they look back tryin’ to figure it out
Where it came from and what it’s all about
It didn’t come from outer space, it came from the south
No, no
It didn’t come from outer space, it came from the south
Ooooo-oo-oo
Yeah
Ummmm
Drained of emotion, tears run dry
I would give anything just to feel all right
Down on my kees, praying for help
But sometimes you’ve just got to help yourself
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
Seems I could never try hard enough
And though I love you, got to give you up
I’m going back to who I was, yeah
And I do believe change is gonna do me good
Let’s take this moment to say goodbye
Look at each other right straight in the eye
But don’t look back baby ‘cause I’ll be gone
I’ve got my own life to carry on
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
Seems I could never try hard enough
And though I love you, got to give you up
I’m going back to who I was, yes I am
And I do believe change is gonna do me good
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
Seems I could never try hard enough
And though I love you, got to give you up
I’m going back to who I was, yes I am
And I do believe change is gonna do me good
Yes, it is now, baby
I do believe change is gonna do me good
So you say that your baby is making like a ‘fridgerator
And it feels so cold on the outside looking in
And the word is he’s been seen with some new lady
When he says he’s out puttin’ some overtime in
Now, you’ve had it right up to where you just can’t take it
No matter what you do he keeps doin’ you wrong
Ah, but don’t get mad, don’t get even
That just takes too long
Get a life, get a grip, get over it, then get gone
Get gone, get out, get goin’ on the double
Just ain’t worth all the worry and trouble
Make like a late freight train that’s movin’ on
Yeah, get gone
Well, you know that love ain’t always a bed of roses
And you figure that quitters ain’t never ever gonna win
And a couple of thorns might come with every blossom
Ah, but you ain’t never have known a prick like him
Just pack your pink suitcase with what you come with
And leave what ain’t worth takin’ all behind
Yeah, don’t get mad, don’t get even
That just takes too long
Get a life, get a grip, get over it, then get gone
Get gone, get out, get goin’ on the double
Just ain’t worth all the worry and trouble
Make like a late freight train that’s movin’ on
Yeah, get gone
Spend a little time with me
Woooo
Get gone, get out, get goin’ on the double
Just ain’t worth all the worry and trouble
Make like a late freight train that’s movin’ on
Ah, don’t get mad, don’t get even
That just takes too long
Get a life, get a grip, get over it, then get gone
Don’t get mad, don’t get even
That just takes too long
Get a life, get a grip, get over it, then get gone
Get gone
Gone, baby
Have you ever ridden in my car
I don’t think you’ve ever ridden in my car
After this, can we do "House of The Rising Sun"?
Hey, let’s go before we lose it !
That thang
That thang
Good God Almighty, when you gonna gimme that thang
That thang
That thang
You got me going crazy, when you gonna gimme that thang
Tonight we’re all alone
So don’t answer that telephone
If I had one, I wouldn’t think twice
C’mon and give me that big surprise
That thang
That thang
That trash
That trash
I hear what you’re sayin’, when you gonna talk that trash
You got me hooked, I took the bait
I got to look, just can’t wait

There’s no way I can live without
That thang
That thang
Good God Almighty, when you gonna gimme that thang
Ahhhhhhhhhh
That thang
That thang
That thang
Good God Almighty, when you gonna gimme that thang
Red hot
So hot
When you gonna tell me if you’re gonna let me have it or not
I ain’t talkin’ about a little kiss
Somethin’ else that I can’t resist
So just take off your coat and hat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme
That thang
That thang
Good God Almighty, when you gonna give me that thang
That thang
That thang
You got me going crazy, when you gonna gimme that thang
That thang
That thang
That thang
That thang
That thang
That thang
Well, my first love was a little Corvette
All done up in lipstick red
I thought it’d last forever ‘til the motor blew
Well, I guess I didn’t look close enough
It’s a little bit just like fallin’ in love
Looks don’t mean a thing if the heart ain’t true
Might be a cool ride, smooth lines
Somethin’ been custom-made out in Hollywood
When you get done gazin’ at the outside
Better start checkin’ out the inside
If you want a love built to last, you better look real good
And see what’s under the hood
Sporty little model standin’ by the door
So I took her for a spin on the old dance floor
Headlights shinin’ bright but nobody home
Well, I need somethin’ that’s more my speed
Got a whole lotta time to find what I need
So I put her in park and headed on off for home
Might be a cool ride, smooth lines
Somethin’ been custom-made out in Hollywood
When you get done gazin’ at the outside
Better start checkin’ out the inside
If you want a love built to last, you better look real good
And see what’s under the hood
Might be a cool ride, smooth lines
Somethin’ been custom-made out in Hollywood
When you get done gazin’ at the outside
Better start checkin’ out the inside
If you want a love built to last, you better look real good
And see what’s under the hood
You better look real good
And see what’s under the hood
Well, there’s a storm cloud comin’
And you’re standin’ at the fork in the road
And now ya gotta do something
And you’re wondering which way to go
The river’s risin’ and the bridge washed out
It’s gonna get ya if you don’t jump now
Are ya gonna take a left or right
How ya gonna decide
Just listen to the rain
Listen to the wind
Listen for the music
‘Til you hear it again
Keep your eye on the eagle
And your ear close to the ground
You can ask the moon
Have a talk with yourself
But don’t you dare listen
To anybody else
‘Cause it’s all written in the stars
If you listen to your heart
If you didn’t see it comin’
‘Cause it caught up with you from behind
But you can’t keep running from love
For the rest of your life
You know you’re gonna have to show your hand
She’s waiting for ya, do you fold or stand
The clock is tickin’ and you’re out of time
You better make up your mind
Just listen to the rain
Listen to the wind
Listen for the music
‘Til you hear it again
Keep your eye on the eagle
And your ear close to the ground
You can ask the moon
Have a talk with yourself
But don’t you dare listen
To anybody else
‘Cause it’s all written in the stars
If you listen to your heart
You know you’re gonna have to show your hand
She’s waiting for ya, do you fold or stand
The clock is tickin’ and you’re out of time
You better make up your mind
Just listen to the rain
Listen to the wind
Listen for the music
‘Til you hear it again
Keep your eye on the eagle
And your ear close to the ground
You can ask the moon
Have a talk with yourself
But don’t you dare listen
To anybody else
‘Cause it’s all written in the stars
If you listen to your heart
Yes, it’s all written in the stars
If you listen to your heart
You got a stock portfolio, I keep my change in a Dixie Cup
You want a dog with a pedigree, I like any skinny thing that wanders up
You got a three piece attitude, I got a five piece band
And a "Save The Whale" bumper sticker, you’ll never understand
You keep going your way and I keep going mine
I got to wonder what it is, got me into this
Musta been lonely too long, right about the time that you came along
Down right hard up for any old reason to fall in love
Musta let my weakness get a little strong
Musta been lonely way too long
Now, it ain’t like I’m particular when it comes to love
Wherever my heart leads I do my level best to back it up
But you’re a real cake-taker, baby, you’re in a league all your own
Ain’t nothin’ left for me to do but take my ball and go home
Keep goin’ your way and I keep going mine
I got to wonder what it is that got me into this
Musta been lonely too long, right about the time that you came along
Down right hard up for any old reason to fall in love
I musta let my weakness get a little strong
I musta been lonely way too long
Keep goin’ your way and I keep goin’ mine
Got to wonder what it is, got me into this
I musta been lonely too long, right about the time that you came along
Down right hard up for any old reason to fall in love
I musta let my weakness get a little strong
I musta been lonely way too long
I musta been lonely way too long
I musta been lonely way too long
I musta been lonely
Make it as greasy as you want
Ahhhh
Me and my girlfriend Bonnie
Havin’ ourselves a time
Lying on the banks of the Ponchartrain
With a homemade bottle of wine
Sweepin’ the floors of the city
I still hear the horns in my head
Tchapitolas and the Zulu crew
They don’t ever wanna go to bed
Oh, after the Mardi Gras
People come from New York City
They come from California, too
Tryin’ to get a feel for the Cajun music
They all lookin’ so confused
Now, me and Bonnie, we gettin’ hungry
We need us some hot rice and beans
We have to wait all night
‘Til the morning light
Then we can go on back to New Orleans
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
Everythang gone be all right
We got each other and we’ll hold on tight
Oh, after the Mardi Gras
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
Me and my girlfriend Bonnie
We havin’ ourselves a time
Lyin’ on the banks of the Ponchartrain
With a homemade bottle of wine
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
Yeah
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
Everythang gone be all right
We got each other and we’ll hold on tight
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
Yeah
Oh, after the Mardi Gras (after the Mardi Gras)
After the Mardi Gras
Congratulations, well, you’ve done it again
You left me hangin’ like a sheet in the wind
You said you wouldn’t but then you did
Just like the last time I let you in
Hey, I’m a bone and you’re a St. Bernard
You keep me buried out in your backyard
Forget about me ‘til the times get tough
Then sure enough you come and dig me up
Oh, I know that I should tell you that I’m tired of the games you play
But all you got to do is smile that smile and I’m on my way
Hey baby, I need you like I need a hole in my heart
Hey baby, we get together and it tears me apart
Well, I need you like I need a hole in my heart
You’re Dr. Jekyll and you’re Mrs. Hyde
You got a lovin’ and a leavin’ side
You come a-runnin’ a mile a minute
Next thing I know you’re goin’ schizophrenic
You got me comin’, goin’, in-between
I hate ya, love ya, then I don’t feel a thing
I tell you get out of my neighborhood
But you just keep on lookin’ so damn good
Oh, I know that I should tell you that I’m tired of the games you play
But all you got to do is smile that smile and I’m on my way
Hey baby, I need you like I need a hole in my heart
Hey baby, we get together and it tears me apart
And I need you like I need a hole in my heart
Yeah baby
Oh, I know that I should tell you that I’m tired of the games we play
And all you got to do is smile that smile and I’m on my way
Hey baby, I need you like I need a hole in my heart
Hey baby, we get together and it tears me apart
Hey baby, I need you like I need a hole in my heart
Hey baby, we get together and it tears me apart
But I need you like I need a hole in my heart
Hey baby
All right
I was born on the wrong side of the city
Desperation in my mother’s eyes
The factory whistle would wake me every morning
At night the sirens sang my lullaby
Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle
Heart of leather and hands of steel
Thought I was too much of a sole survivor
To ever feel the way I feel
But I don’t want to live without your love
I don’t want to live without your love
I can’t take another night
And I’ve lost the will to fight
I don’t want to live without your love
Danced with the devil in a bottle of whiskey
I paid the fiddler for every song
You’d think with all the lessons learned the hard way
I’d know enough to be strong
But I don’t want to live without your love
I don’t want to live without your love
I can’t take another night
And I’ve lost the will to fight
I don’t want to live without your love
No
Well, I don’t want to live without your love
I don’t want to live without your love
I can’t take another night
And I’ve lost the will to fight
‘Cause I don’t want to live without your love
Oh baby
Up all night, sleep all day
Thoughts of you get in my way
Plastic world, perfect sound
Stuff I’m hearing makes me wonder
Elvis sucks, Beatles too
Hank and Frank, so do you
CD ROM, CD wrong
CD lightnin’, where’s the thunder
Hey Mr. Clean, what’d you do
Sanitized for who’s protection
As for me, tried and true
I’ll just leave a little hiss-on-u
Where’s the air, where’s the room
Smothered by your sonic gloom
Be a buddy, be a pal
Keep it real, keep it crappy
Gimme feel, gimme noise
So I can hear his master’s voice
Vinyl siding, analog
Anything, just make me happy
Hey Mr. Clean, what’d you do
Sanitized for who’s protection
As for me, it’s tried and true
I’ll just leave a little hiss-on-u
Hiss-ss-ss-ss
Hiss-ss-ss-ss
Hey Mr. Clean, what’d you do
Sanitized for who’s protection
As for me, tried and true
I’ll just leave a little hiss-on-u
Hiss-on-u
Hiss-on-u
Hi-hi-hiss-on-u
Ahhhhhhhhh
You nailed it that time, you Connecticut hillbilly
