Lyrics Faces - Bad 'n' Ruin

Lyrics Faces - Bad 'n' Ruin

Mother, don't you recognize your son?
Coming home 'cause I failed you, mother
I'll be there in the morning
If you'll have me back
The rent up here is much too high
For a room without a tap
I'll be early in the morning
And I'll find my way back home
Back home, bad 'n' ruin
With my tail between my legs
Tail between my legs
And I'll be so tired

I'll be early tomorrow morning
And I'll fall down off my plane
Don't be embarrassed, mother
By your ugly worn-out son
Your ugly worn-out son

Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now

And I'll be down on Cannon street
Passport in my hand
Should you not recognize me
I've heavily made-up my eyes
Mama, you won't recognize me now
Brother, you won't recognize me now
Sister, you won't recognize me now
Mother, you won't recognize me now

So, mother, when you've seen me
Don't forget I'm your boy too
I know my brother has done you proud
He's one foot in the grave
Mother, don't you recognize me now?

I'm a burglar in the first degree
But it don't seem to worry me
I'll be so tired, so tired
I'll be so tired, so tired

So tired

Lyrics Faces - Had Me A Real Good Time

Lyrics Faces - Had Me A Real Good Time

Thought I was lookin' good
So I cycled 'cross the neighborhood
Was invited by a skinny girl
Into her high class world

Left my bicycle under the stairs
Laid my coat across the kosher chairs
Made my way across the crowded room
I had nothing to lose

My reception wasn't very keen
So turning on a friendly grin,
Stood on the table with my glass of gin
And came straight to the point

I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time

I was glad to come
I'll be sad to go
So while I'm here
I'll have me a real good time. Oh no

Dancin' madly 'round the room, yeah
Singing loudly and sorta' out of tune
Was escorted by a friendly slag
'Round the ... back

Wandered c-c-cross ...
Missed my step and I fell on the floor.
Said one word and was asked to leave
Kinda' wish I was dead.

I was glad to come
And I'll be so sad to leave,
But while I was here
I had me a real good time, oooh.

The skinny girl made it clear,
That she only came here for the beer - that's a fact, oh yeah
The vicar he simply reeked of gin - good God

On my way home I happened to fall off my bicycle, good party
Ooh hoo, ha ha, yeah

I was glad to come, but I was also glad to get home, yeah
Ooh hoo
Hoo, get in there
Ooh hoo

Lyrics Faces - If I'm On The Late Side

Lyrics Faces - If I'm On The Late Side

If I'm late, darling, don't hesitate
Just go without me, and I'll see you there anyway
If I miss you at the station
I want you on that train
I don't want a sad sack
'Cause I'll be there come what may

Leave a message with the porter
Or leave it at the gate
Just let me know that you're aboard her
Just a word to know that you're safe

I walk from Maryland to Silver town
I hoped to catch you in the street
I must have missed you by a moment, dear
I tried the place we always meet

So if I'm late darling, don't hesitate, no, no
Go on your lonesome, and I'll catch you there anyway
I might lose sometime, babe
But if I do, I'll make amends in an hour
When I'm laying down beside you

Lyrics Faces - Pool Hall Richard

Lyrics Faces - Pool Hall Richard

Sweatin' hard, I didn't get a shot
All I did was stand around and get too hot
Knowin' all the people walkin' on my side
Losin' all my money and I'm getting tired
Ol' Bill he come a'runnin' like he's gettin' some
Makes you kind of jealous but it sure is fun
I don't mind, but he wants my lady too

You know the crowd gets bigger as the word goes 'round
Pool hall king was playin' back in town
Minnesota Fats standin' up at the back
Tryin' to hide himself in a plastic mack
You ought to hear the silence when the kid walks in
His reputation's bigger than gasoline
I don't mind but he's tryin' to fill my lady too
Pool Hall Richard, you're far too wicked we know
Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you could ever do
With your yellow carnation and your pink satin shoe
You make me jealous but I worship you
One day soon I'm gonna beat you clean
Wipe that smile right off your chin
Everybody gonna drive from miles around
Cuein' up to see me take away your crown
Then you'll never never ever take my lady then

Pool Hall Richard, you're far too wicked we know
Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you could ever do
Dig this
Bam goes the brown, that's another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty but your scent is clean
Bam goes the blue, lock away your cue
The pool hall king is hustlin' you
Bam goes the 8-ball, didn't see it spin at all
This kid can play, oh yeah

Bam goes the brown, ooh another one down
Know they play much better when the sun goes down
Bang goes the green, you're so obscene
Your hands are dirty, your scent is clean
Damn the pink, one more to sink
Gonna beat you someday 'cause you're makin' me sick
Down on the black, at the back of the pack
Aw, you nearly missed, you ain't so hot

Pool Hall Richard, kid you're wicked, we know
You broke my heart
Same as you could ever do
You're breakin' my heart
But you're stealin' my tart
Shut up

Lyrics Faces - Just Another Honkey

Lyrics Faces - Just Another Honkey

(ronnie lane)
I close my eyes and ignore all the signs
I'm walking 'round in circles
I've closed my ears and believed my own lies
And break the silence always
I make a lot of words, big storm in the air
All 'round your hair it's blowing
Just leave it be and it will all blow away
The weather's always changing
You can go if you want to
I don't own you, go be wild

Leave my hand, it's wide open
So's the door evermore
It hurts me more to think i'll keep you in chains
Than if you were to leave me.
I am what you are and I'm running too,
All for the open prairie.
So you can go if you want to
I don't own you, go be wild
Leave my hand it's wide open
So's the door forevermore.

Lyrics Faces - Devotion

Lyrics Faces - Devotion

So good to be with
The people that know you.
It's good to hear
The things that they say,
At times when you are with them.
So good to note
My strength is growing from day to day,
There's not a thing
I try to do without you

Troubled times of pain that come
I take them any old day.
You come and you wash them all away

Everywhere you sing in everything,
And I try by remembering
All the things that you said to me,
From within all you did for me.
Just one word.

Lyrics Faces - You're So Rude

Lyrics Faces - You're So Rude

My mom she likes you, she thinks your swell
Got the makings of a dance hall girl
Your low cut frock and your birds nest hair
Stepping up heels and the way that you smell
She says to take you back
To see my folks again on Sunday

Why it looks as though there's nobody in
They've all went out to see my Auntie Renny
Don't you worry you just come right in
I'm sure we'll pass the time 'til they come home
Well let me take your coat
Take off your shoes, warm your toes, try the sofa

It's getting dark we'll miss the late night bus
It's only eight but I'm not taking any chances
What's that noise why'd they come back so soon
Straighten your dress you're really looking a mess
I'll wet my socks pretend we just got caught in the rain
Oh you're so rude

Lyrics Faces - Angel

Lyrics Faces - Angel

(jimi hendrix)

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's goin' now, come back tomorrow
And I said, fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel
Forever I'm will be by your side
Gonna fly away
Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
Today's the day for you to rise


Ke my hand, you're gonna be my man, you're gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder
And I said, fly on my sweet angel
Fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel
Forever I will be by your side

Lyrics Faces - Tell Everyone

Lyrics Faces - Tell Everyone

May the smile on your face
Come straight from your heart
Takes a lady like you
To write that for me
To wake up with you
Makes my morning so bright
Wipes the sleep from my eyes
When you tell me your dreams
And it goes on and on
Way beyond and out of reach
It's a well known old secret
Go and tell everyone
Tell everyone
The smile on your face
Comes straight from your heart
If you look you will find
And you wrote that for me

Lyrics Faces - Around The Plynth

Lyrics Faces - Around The Plynth

Woken up on mornings such as this
Thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
Cold, damp room looks worse than me, no, no, no

Got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon, but then again I might
Water down the drain, I'm wasting away
Doctors can't help the ghost of a man that's me, no, no, no

Water down the drain goes to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps a-haunting me
Moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Come on down to the ground as the time goes by

Slow down there

I never found out the reason why
My parents had to lie
About the place that I was born
Or from my hometown I was torn
At the tender age of four
I was livin' by homemade law

I never knew when it was to be laid,
My desires are never displayed,
I never knew what it was to be loved,
I never knew what it was to be laid,
I never knew what it was to win,
I never knew what it was to be loved,
No, no, no

Get on up there

I never knew what it was to be laid
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Lyrics Faces - Love Lives Here

Lyrics Faces - Love Lives Here

It's hard to believe that this is the place
Where we were so happy all our lives
Now so empty inside and feeling no pain
Waiting for a hammer, and a big ball and chain

They can tear it all down and build something new
But only I remember what was here
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone
How long will I have to keep returning?

Now I look back think I've known all the time
I've been finding myself for so long
All the vows that we made
Count for old bags of lumber
Disappear on the cart down the road

Lyrics Faces - I Wish It Would Rain

Lyrics Faces - I Wish It Would Rain

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
Let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
I'm a man and I got my pride
Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.

Lyrics Faces - Nobody Knows

Lyrics Faces - Nobody Knows

I'm waiting here in patience
Am I waiting all in vain?
Will I see you? will I touch you?
Will I hear you call my name?
Come and make
Ten steps to every one step that I take

Nobody comes and nobody goes,
No one is happy, and no one has woes.
Everything lasting, ever the same,
Nothing is ending, nothing can change.

The good lord always has been,
Always will be ever the same.
And confusion mixed with illusion
All years only turn again
With one and one hundred names
Had all the rooms, our key is to change.

Nobody comes and nobody goes,
No one is happy and no one has woes,
Everything lasting, nothing can change,
Nothing is ending, ever the same

Lyrics Faces - Maybe I'm Amazed

Lyrics Faces - Maybe I'm Amazed

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I'll leave you
Baby I'm amazed at the way you fool me all the time
You hung me on a line
Oh baby I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
You're the only woman that could ever help me
Baby, won't you try to understand

Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he does not really understand, good God, hoo
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
You're the only one that could ever help me
Baby, won't you try to understand

Baby, I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Baby, I'm afraid of the way I'll leave ya'
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you help me sing the song
You right me when I'm wrong
Baby I'm amazed at the way I really need ya'

Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he does not really understand
Baby, I'm a man, oh baby
You're the only woman that could ever help me

Baby, won't you try to understand
There you go,
Baby I'm amazed, the way I really need you
Alright, just about warming up and getting into it right about here

Lyrics Faces - Shake, Shudder, Shiver

Lyrics Faces - Shake, Shudder, Shiver

I shake and I shudder and I shiver
In my bath while it's cold and my windows are broken,
As my poor dog lays a-chokin' on the floor.

I cried to my father and my mother,
There's no justice divine,
I wonder when I get mine.
'Cause I'm so sick and tired of waitin' for the Lord.

I find just what it is I'm looking for
There's a man wants to show me the river.
Hoofing at five I'll be more dead than alive.
I find a reason to survive when I'm too old.

Should I walk in the lightning and the thunder
On a hilltop so high and show my face to the sky ?
Will I find just what it is I'm looking for ?

Lyrics Faces - I'd Rather Go Blind

Lyrics Faces - I'd Rather Go Blind

(foster, jordan)

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry boy
When I saw you and him out walking
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
Than to see you walk away from me child

So you see I love you so much
I don't want to see you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free
I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace child
When the reflection in the glass
That I been held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears I had on my face
I would rather, I would rather be blind child
Than to see you walk away from me
Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind
Than to see you walk away from me

Lyrics Faces - I Feel So Good

Lyrics Faces - I Feel So Good

I got a letter
It come to me by mail
My baby's coming' home
I hope that she don't fail

[Chorus]
Because I feel so good
I feel so good
You know I feel so good
Feel like ballin' the jack

I drove into town to that old station
Just to meet her old train
My baby said she's a-comin' home
I hope that she won't fail

[Chorus]

Feel so good, I hope I always will
Feel just like I just got out of jail
Way off behind the hills

[Chorus]

Lyrics Faces - Flying

Lyrics Faces - Flying

I'm flying
Across the ocean
And I'm soaring
Back home
To the place I was born
And probably raised.
And I'm flying
Across the mountains and valleys,
Back home to the one that I love so happily.

Can ya blame me for feeling homesick
'Cause I've been away such a very long long time
I served a while in the county jail
Five years for being hungry tired and poor

On and on
Yes I will follow
With your buttons and bows.

Lyrics Faces - Ooh La La

Lyrics Faces - Ooh La La

Poor old granddad
I laughed at all his words
I thought he was a bitter man
He spoke of woman's ways

They'll trap you, then they use you
Before you even know
For love is blind and you're far too kind
Don't ever let it show

[Chorus]
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now
When I was stronger.

The can can's such a pretty show
They'll steal your heart away
But backstage, back on earth again
The dressing rooms are gray

They come on strong and it ain't too long
Before they make you feel a man
But love is blind and you soon will find
You're just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get a cheek
Makes you wonder where you are
If you want some more and she's fast asleep
Then she's twinkling with the stars.

Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say
You'll have to learn, just like me
And that's the hardest way
Ooh la la

[Chorus]

Lyrics Faces - Flags And Banners

Lyrics Faces - Flags And Banners

Last night, I was woken by my cry
Had a dream just as plain as you and I
Saw the morning sun on a woodland in the spring
Still hear the echo crashing through the trees
Oh, when I saw you down, I fell upon my knees

You and I we were wearing Southern grey
I called to you, but I used another name
I beat the ground, and I cried out in your pain
Through a scarlet door I watched you slipping away
And your brother's helpless prayers were all in vain

Last night, I was woken by my cry
