Track Name: Hard Times In L.A.
Hard times in L.A.
Got me a woman, five dollars a day
Hard times in L.A.
Could only buy half a bag today

I went down to the docks
Times are hard, people selling their yachts
and sailing on on Birth 91

Hard times in L.A.
Got me a woman, five dollars a day
Hard times in L.A.
Could have stayed asleep today

[Guitar/Harp Solo]

Hard times in L.A.
Got me a woman, five dollars a day
Hard times in L.A.
Could only buy half a bag today
Track Name: Hard To Tell
It's hard to tell what goes on inside a woman's mind
You just throw thoughts down there like wishing well

And it's hard to tell if things are ever gonna any better

Got no idea what the hell I'd do without my guitar
End up like the rest, poisoned, stressed, depressed in a shitty job

And it's hard to tell if things are ever gonna get any better

But if we don't try, things are never gonna get any better

[Guitar Solo]

And it's hard to tell if things are ever gonna get any better
Track Name: Love's A Terrible Thing To Waste
Guess you could say by now that I'm doing fine
Been fucked up all day but now I'm drinking wine

Drank too much last night now I'm a different man
Not to worry, carry on best I can

Surprise surprise, She aint leaving him
Surprise surprise, She still believes in him

and I know it sounds funny but it's a terrible thing
I know it sounds funny but it's a terrible thing
It might sound funny but love's a terrible thing to waste

It's fucked up, beyond belief, beyond my wildest dreams
Late at night can you hear a dying scream?

Early to rise, early to bed makes a man fucking dead
Will someone kill this gecko in my fucking head (my fucking head)?

Surprise surprise, She aint leaving him
Surprise surprise, She still believes in him

and I know it sounds funny but it's a terrible thing
I know it sounds funny but it's a terrible thing
It might sound funny but love's a terrible thing to waste

and I know it sounds funny, it's a terrible thing
I know it sounds funny but it's a terrible thing
It might sound funny but love's a terrible thing to waste
Track Name: Time Is Ablaze
Time is ablaze like a jetplane, shoot through days like a fast train
Time is ablaze

Live in a haze, in a mellow daze, away from the new craze 'coz
Time is ablaze

Everything is a phase
Coming too soon like a full moon, like a pinball dancing form the last fall
Time is ablaze like a jetplane, shoot through days like a fast train

Plant in the corner needs a little more water
Middle aged woman needs to quickly have a daughter
Time is ablaze like a jetplane, shoot through days like a fast train

Drove through Oregon and Idaho
Said she didn't love me and I better just go
Now i'm driving thru
and time is ablaze

Time is ablaze like a jetplane, shoot through days like a fast train
Time is ablaze

Keep on going like a night train, speeding through dark and rain
Keep on going like a night train, speeding through dark and rain

Time is ablaze like a jetplane, shoot through days like a fast train
Time is abla-a-a-aze
Track Name: A Song For Brian Haw
Won't someone write a song for Brian Haw?
They all sing about their selfish lives
All their money, fast cars and fancy wives
Won't someone write a song for Brian Haw?

Brian Haw, Brian Haw
A finer man I never saw
Brian Haw, Brian Haw
Still they carry on their war

Brian Haw, I wrote you a song
coz we all got to stand when things are wrong

[Harp]

They tried to stop him protesting their war
Still he's going strong eight years and more

Brian Haw, Brian Haw
A finer man I never saw
Brian Haw, Brian Haw
Still they carry on their war
Track Name: Holding On
Bartender, give me a drink
I got six devils on my trail tonight

I'm having trouble just holding on

You know you what, give me two more
'coz the first one didn't do nothing at all

I got hangovers just par for the course
The world's spinning, I'm just holding on

Having trouble just holding on

Tell what, what I got
is a lot of people telling me I'm gone

The world's spinning, I'm just holding on
Track Name: Alive
I quit playing cards and shooting dice
I'm living on beer, water and beans and rice

Got a fiver in my pocket but I owe five grand to the banks

but I'm alive, yeah
They aint killed me yet
I'm alive, yeah

Sometimes it bothers me that we're living in world war three
It's been happening since 1953

Fuck the army, fuck the army, fuck the army
And all the liars on T.V.

I'm alive
Fighting a war, yeah
I'm alive
They aint killed me yet
Track Name: Almost Home
I' been on the road for about a year

I'm alone, tired but
Almost home
Almost home

I been sleeping in my car
I been drinking in a thousand bars but I'm

Almost home
Almost home

[Harp]

I been on the road for about a year
I'm alone, tired but
Almost home
Almost home

I'm almost home
