Ain´t saying nothing, nothing but the truth if you don´t believe me that is up to you and it is you, who is acting like a fool I don´t wanna hear you singing the same old Blues Well from the beginning music was my fate and for sure you knew that before being my mate now it is too, too late; it´s no use for a debate Yes I´m gonna move I´ve got a date Uuuuuuuuuhh that´s it, That´s another argument with my babe well, you know, I´m a musician and that is exactly what is all about because the stages doesn´t knock on your door and say: Hello, do you want to play here? No, you’ve got to look for them get on the van, back on the road, up the line If you want to play, you got to be on the road, man And this is something my babe don´t want to understand, you Know? Well, I´m gonna tell you what I do. Listen: I go, play, get my money and drive back home and in the moment I come across my door she starts singing the same old song. Goes this way: “I know you don´t love me ´cos you´re never at home you´re always on the spree while I´m here alone uuuuuuuh, always here on my own” And that´s no fun, ´cos I´m gonna tell you what I got: I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road But she doesn´t seem to understand, she kept on saying: “That´s a vagrant´s pastime , not a decent job You don´t get enough money and you make me sob uuuuuuuuh, oh, yes you make me sob” I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road I´ve been playing in the big, big cities and the small villages too and It has been worth every place i´ve been to ´cos I´ve been appreciated and understood So come on please please please try not to forget all the things that I´ve left behind to live the life I choose it´s the risk that I take This is all I´ve got but I feel fine

Some fellas look at the eyes some fellas look at the nose some fellas look at the size and some fellas look at the clothes I don´t care if the eyes are grey I don´t care if the nose is long I don´t care if she is under fed I don´t care if the clothes are wrong First I look at the purse Some fellas look at the smile they wear Some fellas look at the nails, that´s all !! Some fellas look at the style of the hair Some fellas look the waist to be small I don´t care if the teeth are big I don´t care if the nails are big I don´t care if her hair is a wig why waste time looking at the waist line ? First I look at the purse A woman can be as fine as can be with kisses sweet as honey but they don´t mean a thing to me if she ain´t got no money because the first sight that where is at !! Some fellas look at the way they walk, the way they swing and sway Some fellas look at the way they talk and the silly little things they say I don´t care if she waddles like a duck I´m trying to wishper please I´m still break, I am on the run for the dollar bills I craze First I look at the purse

I’ve been waiting at the station all night long Up all night in the freezin’, freezin’ cold I have seen too many trains pass and I dunno wich one is in my class Time to leave and the motors roar even if you don’t get on, now it will go never gonna be another like this one you gonna get it on Water that flows never is the same always changing and a moving watch them slide through your hands tryin’ to freeze movin’ sands Don´t you worry ‘bout the luggage anymore cos’ you ain´t got none to hold, no home to go Don’t think it no more, make up your mind, and get a hold cos’ if you don´t do it now, you’ll never do it at all Time to leave and the motors roar even if you don’t get on, now it will go never gonna be another like this one you gonna get it on Water that flows never is the same always changing and a moving watch them slide through your hands tryin’ to freeze movin’ sands

Went to that pawnshop they had a harp priced at two bucks I had to have it, I get a job on a soda truck playing hooky from school I worked all week on the soda truck because I had to have it I had to have that harp Saturday morning, the man gave buck and a half ¡¡one dollar fifty!! for a whole week of hard work that´s a pretty shame “It´s two dollars, boy” said the man in the shop I laid my dollar fifty, took the harp and run because I had to have it I had to have that harp I ran like the Devil but they caught me up then came my trial and the judge asked me “¿Why did you do it, boy?” I said “please have mercy, I had to have that harp” Then he asked me to play and so I did and when he heard me then he understood and gave the man the fifty cents that I owed he shouted “¡¡Case dismissed!! and then he let me go

Coming home 03:53
I’m coming home I’m coming home with you I’m coming home I’m coming home with you I don’t really care if I’m coming or going what really matters is that we carry on still together Been away a long time I couldn’t get to say how long lot of experiences in my mind I took the best of them all and I really feel the need to tell the world about it I’m coming home I’m coming home with you I’m coming home I’m coming home with you I’m sitting here alone all by myself on this train I don’t really care if I get there or have to start all over again are the wheels rolling or is this world spinning? Don’t really mind as long you are close to me Don’t really mind as long you are close to me

Damn Sham 04:04
I’ve been thinking for a long time, you know something that everybody has to know I´m talking about the typical natural man always willing to drink to drink the whole damn sham that soaks up the lies the media declares Look at empty TV, just sit down and stare believes he is really so well informed Other worlds exist under different forms Not seeing realities further than the tip of his nose only narrow thoughts stuck on what he knows Not to try to amplify your views of life Ours is just, just to do and die So much left to do that wasting time is a crime believing in what they say ‘cause millions do the same Never put in doubt the great masquerade All their tricks are out there on parade The same picture see where it hits you Do you believe you would? Not seeing realities further than the tip of his nose Only narrow thoughts stuck on what he knows

Black Cat 02:49
I was having one of those dreams and I was feeling pretty bad I broke a dozen mirrors with each hand I ever had a shower of plastic tulips kept falling off the moon I had to send a man to find the floorboards of my room Black cat. Keep that black cat away from here Black cat. Keep that black cat away Someone broke a window and I squeezed trough the crack I had to ask a blind man to show me the way back but when he’d gone I bit my lip and try hard not to scream I had to face that black cat with his evil eyed dream Black cat. Keep that black cat away from here Black cat. Keep that black cat outta here Well he chased me through November cat figure all the time when I felt his fur upon me I thought I blow my mind I know there’s something black going on inside my head when I woke up, there he was, lying on my bed Black cat. Keep that black cat away from here Black cat. Keep him away

Vinyl junkie 03:45
A vinyl Junkie, that's what I am Keep on searching what I cant afford When I found them I can't control myself Compulsive collector, l just can't stop I ain't saying nothing about those CD’s Talking about vinyl, real records very sought I wouldn’t loose, just one chance to buy some more Somebody’s saying they'll disappear but we're storing quite a lot Ain't got enough money, (cos) I want to buy them all And don't even have the time to hear the records that I've bought But I don't mind, no Look my collection We know it's worth, yeah and you know it's true

City Lights 03:02
I can see the city lights reaching everywhere Leaving thousands of souls on sight I can see the city lights abd its reflection blinding even those who hide You got to believe me baby, that when the lights blind you only into the darkness can open your eyes again I can see the city lights, feel its heat how it burns on all sides You'd rather go blind than to see something that would have never liked to find You got to believe me baby, that when the lights blind you only into the darkness can open your eyes again

Time 06:28
More time, that's what I need More time, I want it yes indeed My time never ain't enough No time, and that's quite rough The time, slips away The time, ain't no way to retain More time, it's what I want More time, that's what I need right now Can spend your whole life earning money as a blinding Not being able to enjoy it 'cos you got no time When you became old you cannot buy more time And then you'll realize you have wasted your shine Live your life, enjoy your time before it's too late and you can't turn it back It's neither 40 day months nor 20 months a year But to make up your mind and organize your life So many people to know and things to see And I got no time Many movies to watch and books to read Never got the time So much love to make and feelings to feel And I got no time so many roads to ride and records to hear Never got the time Have to work, got to sleep But when do I have the time to live Your life is happening besides the plans you are making
