Aint got no backbone
Aint got no backbone too scared to go out alone
Aint got no vertebrae hey she took his backbone away
No backbone, Aint got no backbone
She’s intimidating – he’s under her control
He obeys her commands he plays a weaker role
She’s dominating she’s the ruler of the house
I ask the question are you a man or you a mouse?
She’s loud and forceful, argumentative, defiant
He’s weak and gentle, long-suffering, compliant
He’s too scared to speak out or his life’s a living hell
He tries to keep the peace for he knows very well that he
Aint got no backbone too scared to go out alone
Aint got no vertebrae hey she took his backbone away
No backbone, Aint got no backbone

I got stoned
Life was kind of rough I reached the crisis point
My friends they said to me Hey why not try a joint
So, I got stoned yes I was stoned
I had to drown my misery I was living in Ponde and I got stoned
my boyfriend he was drunk he was lying on the floor
beer bottles everywhere said can’t take this anymore
So, I got stoned yes I was stoned
I had to drown my misery I was living in Ponde and I got stoned
Stoned, stoned, stoned you feel alone
stoned, stoned, stoned you[re on your own
if you wanna have a moan, you wanna weep and groan
you just get stoned.
My boyfriends’ many friends liked to have a good time
they were chucking all over my couch and I ran out of wine
So, I got stoned yes I was stoned
I had to drown my misery I was living in Ponde and I got stoned
Stoned, stoned, stoned you feel alone
stoned, stoned, stoned you[re on your own
if you wanna have a moan, you wanna weep and groan
you just get stoned.

Don’t Take Advantage of Me
What do you think you’re doing?
What do you think you’re proving?
What do you think you’re doing to me?
I’ve been all alone
I’ve been on my own
so please don’t take advantage of me!
Riding down the road with a heavy load
travelling on behind
if you could understand I’m fragile in your hand
I need you to treat me kind
Don’t take advantage of me
Don’t take advantage of me
if you could understand I’m fragile in your hand
so please don’t take advantage of me
most people want something or another
but in your case, I hope it’s not true
please understand me don’t misunderstand me
when I want to be a friend to you
Don’t take advantage of me
Don’t take advantage of me
if you could understand I’m fragile in your hand
so please don’t take advantage of me

Palm of my Hand
I’ve got you right in the palm of my hand
I’ve got you right in the palm of my hand
Everything’s coming up roses
Just the way that I planned
I’ve got you where I want you
All my dreams came true
No-one else believed me
When I said I would get you because
I’ve got you right in the palm of my hand
I’ve got you right in the palm of my hand
Everything’sturning around now
Just the way that I planned
You’re as sly as a fox
Slippery as an eel
I’ve got you where I want you
From here it’s all down hil becausel
I’ve got you right in the palm of my hand
I’ve got you right in the palm of my hand
Everything’s coming up roses
Just the way I planned

No-one loves you

No-one Loves You
No-one loves you when you’re down and out
No-one seems to want you about
No-one wants you there’s just no doubt
No-one wants you when you’re down
No-one wants you around
Life isn’t always chocolates and roses
Life isn’t peaches and cream
Life isn’t always froth and bubble
More a nightmare than a dream
No-one loves you when you’re down and out
No-one seems to want you about
No-one wants you there’s just no doubt
No-one wants you when you’re down
No-one wants you around
No-one wants to see you miserable
No-one wants to hear you complain
They’d rather see you smile and laugh
Even when you’re ill and in pain
No-one loves you when you’re down and out
No-one seems to want you about
No-one wants you there’s just no doubt
No-one wants you when you’re down
No-one wants you around

Blues in the mornin’
I’ve got the blues in the mornin’
blues in the evening
blues in the afternoon
I know what I’m feeling although you’re appealing
I know that you’re leaving me soon
blues on a Monday
blues on a Tuesday
blues on a Wednesday of woe
on Thursday you’re packing preparing for leaving
on Friday you’re ready to go
I know I’m gonna miss you I really wanna kiss you
you’re leaving on the morning train
I am a sorry sight got me crying through the night
wondering Darlin’ when will I be seeing you again
wondering Darlin’ when I’ll see you again
you go on a Friday It’s not my high day
this fact I’m sure that you know
It makes it my low day
the day that you go day
which means that I’ll be on my own
I know I’m gonna miss you
I really wanna kiss you
you’re leaving on the morning train
I am a sorry sight got me crying through the night
wondering Darlin’ when will I be seeing you again
wondering Darlin’ when I’ll see you again

The well has run dry
All you do is take, take, take
and all I do is give
Feel I’m gonna break, break, break
cos I find it hard to live with
For the well has, the well, has run dry dry dry
Well, you spend all the money on weed
and you get yourself high high
For the well has, the well, has run dry dry dry
Well, you lie around drinking booze
and you make me cry cry
You make me cry
Well, some say that I’m brave brave, brave, brave
and some say that I’m cool
Some think that I’m a slave, slave, slave
and some say that I’m a fool
Well things are gonna change, change, change
cos I can’t take no more
Well you may think it’s strange, strange, strange
when I’m walking out the door
For the well has, the well, has run dry dry dry
Well, you spend all the money on weed
and you get yourself high high
For the well has, the well, has run dry dry dry
Well, you lie around drinking booze
and you make me cry cry
You make me cry

Break down the walls

Break down the walls
The walls go up it’s your defence
When you’ve been hurt it can make sense
We all have walls we all have pain
We can be free to love again
Break down the walls and live live
Break down the walls forgive give
So here I am and here you are
I’ll break them down we can go far
I’ll break them down we soon will see
Our love is strong we can be free
Break down the walls and live live
Break down the walls forgive give

No money in the bank account
Petrol in my car hands on the wheel
Still got my guitar I rent a cottage in the hills
But I’ve got no money in the bank account
There’s food in the cupboard
I scrounge a meal here or there
Still have some shampoo enough to wash my hair
But I’ve got no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
No money, no money, no money in the bank account
The poor are getting poorer lower class do it tough
Their jobs have lesser wages life is really, rough
The bills are enormous prices are sky high
they have to scrimp and save just to get by
But I’ve got no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
Milk in the fridge blankets on my bed
Clothes to wear and a pillow for my head
But I’ve got no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
No money, no money, no money in the bank account
The rich are getting richer the poor well they are still poor
Not enough to go around, wolves howling at the door
The old, frail, and needy turn their lights off after tea
They’re shivering in the darkness without a light to see
No money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
no money in the bank account
No money, no money, no money in the bank account

You’re gonna make it
I looked to the left I looked to the right
No-one there to help me no-one in sight
I said Lord up above
Lord full of love
Can you help me?
He said hold on tight
you’re gonna make it alright
You’re gonna make it alright alright alright
you’re gonna make it okay okay okay
We’ve got the armour of the Lord
We’ve got the spirit and the sword
We’re gonna make it
I searched high and low no-where else to go
I called out loud no-one about
I said Lord up above
Lord full of love
Can you help me?
He said hold on tight
you’re gonna make it alright
You’re gonna make it alright alright alright
you’re gonna make it okay okay okay
We’ve got the armour of the Lord
We’ve got the spirit and the sword
We’re gonna make it

We've gotta have peace

We’ve gotta have peace
We’ve gotta have peace let fighting cease
No more wars or wounding and sores
No more guns but loving and fun
And peace on earth for everyone under the sun
We’ve gotta have peace we’ve gotta have peace
We’ve gotta have peace Oh let fighting cease
No more distress but give us kindness
No hopelessness but hopefulness
And no more hate but love your mate
Your father your mother your sister your brother
Your cousin your neighbour do us all a favour
Let’s all be friends’ relationships mend
No fighting or biting but harmony tranquility
No bitterness but give it a rest
We’ve gotta have peace we’ve gotta have peace
