Lyrics

This black dog
in my ear
telling me what to feel now

Turning love
into fear
That’s why I hate him

He’s nipping
At my heels
Telling me what to feel

I hate him
He loves me
That’s why I need him gone

Chorus
Gonna shoot this black dog down
Look him right between the eyes
He’s tellin’ me no more lies
Gonna shoot this black dog down

This black dog
He keeps livin’
On inside

This black dog
He keeps tellin’
Me to hide

He’s got my
Thoughts turnin’
All the time

I hate him
He loves me
I ain’t gonna lie

Chorus

This black dog he’s in my face all the time
Gonna grab my gun and take a walk outside
It’s time I face him
It’s time I face him
Next time I face him
Only one of us is coming back alive

This black dog
In my ear
changing what I hear

Turning love
into fear
That’s why I hate him

He’s telling me no more lies
He’s telling me no more lies
He’s telling me no more lies

Chorus

Seven Seconds In the fire
A want and need to feel desire
everybody’s made the same

Overtones the box and dice
Vanity’s your only vice
everybody plays the game

Cause everybody wants
Everybody wants
Their Fame

Stretch it mould it  Make it fit
Do your best to Play the bit
Everybody wants their fame

Fame and fortune Seek the lot
Until you’ve got it never stop
Oh just like that moth to a flame

Cause everbody wants
Everybody knows my name

Seven Seconds In the fire
A want and need to feel desire
Everybody plays the game

Overtones the box and dice
Vanity’s your only vice
everybody’s made the same

Cause everybody wants
Everybody wants
Their Fame

Stretch it mould it  Make it fit
Do your best to Play the bit
Everybody plays my game

Fame and fortune Seek the lot
Until you’ve got it never stop
Oh just like that old moth to a flame

Cause everybody wants
And Everybody knows
My Name

Cause everybody wants
Everybody wants
Their Fame

Cause everybody wants
Everybody wants
Their Fame

They said we married young
But i knew we were right
The day we said our vows
The way you held me that night
Now i can barely remember
The touch of your skin
All we do is fight again
You said it right from the start
You said it with all of your heart

You got a funny way x 3
Of showin’ it

I’m going to bed
All on my own
I’m lying here waiting
Feeling alone
I reach out from time to time
To see if you’re there
I guess it’s that time
I lay my soul bare
You said it right from the start
You said it with all of your heart

You got a funny way x 3
of showin’ it

So one last time
I lay by your side
The touch of your skin
Feels so cold tonight
I laid my soul bare
Who knew it was black
I no longer wonder
If i can win you back
You said it right from the start
You said it with all of your heart

I got a funny way x 5
of showin’ it

Verse
Little Man you put up a good fight
Little Man you gave it your best try
Here we stand just you and i
Alone we stand just you and i

Chorus
They say the rich get rich
The poor get what’s in store
But what do I get
When I got nothing at all

The lies you told
They were your downfall
The people you sold
This is your last call
Tell the friends that you bought
It’s time to go
Who would have thought
You could stoop so low

Chorus
They say the rich get rich
The poor get what in store
But what do I get
When I got nothing at all

You’re just a hypocrite
You broke your vow
And your rhetoric
Won’t save you now
Little Man your time is over
Little Man you better run for cover

Chorus x2

I’m an old dog baby
don’t tell me to stay
don’t tell me to lie down,
don’t tell me to wait
I’m an old dog baby, you can’t teach me new tricks.

I’m an old dog baby
don’t tell me to beg
don’t tell me to crawl
don’t make me play dead
I’m an old dog baby, you can’t teach me nothing.

SOLO #1

I’m an old dog baby
don’t tell me to sit
don’t tell me to heel
don’t tell me to quit
I’m an old dog baby, you can’t teach me new tricks.

SOLO # 2

I’m an old dog baby
don’t tell me to stay
don’t tell me to lie down,
don’t tell me to wait
I’m an old dog baby, you can’t teach me new tricks

I’m an old dog baby
don’t tell me to come
don’t try to change me
my learnin here’s done.
Try as you like baby, you can’t teach me nothing.

I kissed you in the sun baby
I kissed you in the rain.
Well I’ve kissed you in the sun baby
I kissed you in the rain.
I’ve kissed you when you’re hurting
to take away the pain

I’ve kissed you in the dark
and I’ve kissed you in the light
I’ve kissed you in the dark baby
I kissed you in the light
I kissed you when we make up
after another stupid fight

I’ve kissed you when you’re happy
and I kissed you when you’re sad
I’ve kissed you when you’re happy baby
and I kissed you when you’re sad
I’ve kissed you extra hard,
when I know that i’ve been bad

Now I gotta kiss you goodbye baby
and I’m cryin a river of tears
yeah i gotta kiss you goodbye baby
and I’m cryin a river of tears
need to swim before I start drowning
and ride that river right out of here

Verse
There’s a sad look in her eyes
A sad look in her eyes
When she tries to justify
All her reasons why

You started this you ended us
running all around this town
You started it ended it
Flipping us upside down

Chorus
Oh Why
Why you got to take my pride
Oh Why
Why you got to run and hide

Verse
She said she’s going out again
But I don’t know where she’s gone
She’s putting on her face again
Must have been for someone

Chorus
Oh Why
Why you got to run and hide
Oh Why
Why you got to run and hide

Break

Chorus
Oh Why
Why you got to take my pride
Oh Why
Why you got to run and hide
And I
I want you to try

Let me tell you a story
About the man that had it all
See a man that has it all
he has a longer way to fall

Got the nice house
and the nice car
Got the trophy wife
With a fake bra
He is the man that had it All!

With a smile from ear to ear
And a vibrant manscaped beard
He likes his wine expensive
And his whiskey from a jar

Got the big boat
And a golf kart
Still has the trophy wife
With a big bra
His the man that had it All!

Now an unexpected crash
the man lost all his cash
Hit rock bottom
Lost all he owned

Had to rent a house
And drive a shit car
Lost his trophy wife
And her nice bra
He’s the man that lost it all

See money ain’t the only thing
This boy  yeah he could sing
Took his car and went
around the country side

He’s got his Gibson
And his Fender
Lots of groupies
goes on benders
Now he’s the man that has it all

A wise woman once told me
What it was to be whole
The old blues man showed me
How the blues they had to be shown
The mystic man he rolled me a joint
And I had to roll on home
the night I should remember
was The night my mind was blown

I had to roll to the right
Just to make it out alive
I had to sift through the lies
To find out what I was told

The old lady she said to me
Your fortune lies in here
The mystic man set me up
With all of the wrong gear
When I woke the next morning
I knew something was not right
The night I should have remembered
Was the night I almost lost my life

I had to roll to the right
Just to make it out alive
I had to sift through the lies
To find out what I’d been told

The old lady she said to me
Your fortune lies in here
The mystic man set me up
With all of the wrong gear
When I woke the next morning
I knew something was not right
The night I should have remembered
Was the night I almost lost my life

I had to roll to the right
Just to make it out alive
I had to sift through the lies
To find out what I’d been told
I had to roll to the right
Just to make it out alive
I had to sift through the lies
To find out what I’d been told

Well I hate the weekday suits, and I
Hate the weekday ties,
Saturday night she comes out
to fantasize
I put my high heels on
I’m dressing to entice
I feel the need to party, and I’m
Gonna roll the dice.

Chorus
Weekdays they come again
and she’s gone without a trace
Weekdays they come again and I
miss her pretty face
She’s gone and I just can’t go on
living in her space
I been chewed up
Spat out
I’m a twisted interface

Saturday night she comes out
She’s out to have some fun
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning
Before, I’m done
Don’t try; can’t stop me,
I’m the party girl
And everybody loves me, cos it’s a
Twisted crazy world

Chorus
Weekdays they come again
and she’s gone without a trace
Weekdays they come again and I
miss her pretty face
She’s gone and I just can’t go on
living in her space
I been chewed up
Spat out
I’m a twisted and disgraced

Lashes black as leather
Lipstick red as wine
Twisted silk to straighten out
I’m gonna make, you mine.
Pour me another whiskey, you know
It wouldn’t be a crime
To drink to this crazy love, in these
Twisted crazy times.

Chorus
Weekdays they come again
and she’s gone without a trace
Weekdays they come again and I
miss her pretty face
She’s gone and I just can’t go on
living in her space
I been chewed up
Spat out
I’m a twisted interface
