The Big Smoke

Took a look at the way I lived
In a town with nothing to give
Got the word on the streets
About a place I needed to be
I heard the music, I had the girls
Got a taste of a whole new world
Saw my future in the morning light
And chased a dream worth living every night
Gonna head down, down to the big smoke
(Down to the big smoke, down to the big smoke)
Cause you know there’s no smoke without fire
(Fire, ain’t no smoke without fire, ain’t no smoke without you)
Headed down to the big big smoke
Packed my bags cause it ain’t no joke to me
Headed down to the big big smoke
Left my home, all alone down for the big big smoke
I found home on the foreign streets
I’m breakin a leg to get ends to meet
Standing tall, I’m here to stay
Nothing left can get in my way
Nothing can get in my way
Living down in the big big smoke
Cut the cord cause I know what’s good for me
Livin down in the big big smoke
Fed my soul, rock n roll down in the big big smoke
(bridge/solo)
Welcome down to the big big smoke
Have a drink or two or three with me
Welcome down to the big big smoke
Get around, getting down all around the big smoke
Boogie down in the big big smoke
Bump and grind in the throes of ecstasy
Boogie down in the big big smoke
Found my home, not alone, yeah in the big smoke
Down in the big smoke.

Her Own Woman

She, is leather and cigarettes
Got a taste, for whiskey and kinky sex
And I’m weak at the knees when she’s around
Cause she, she’s got her ways of bringing me down, down, down
(She) Got the brains, got the looks
Little wink, she’ll get ya hooked
Not a little girl, not your toy
Watch yourself boy
She’s her own woman
And she don’t need you
Her own woman
And she don’t need me
One of a kind, hell of a time
And I think I’m losing my mind
Her eyes, paint the room in supernatural sex
And her lips, speak power and intelligence
Her legs stride with pride and confident strength
And her hips, make you crave what you’ll never get
(She) Got the brains, got the looks
Little wink, she’ll get ya hooked
Not a little girl, not your toy
Watch yourself boy
She’s her own woman
And she don’t need you
Her own woman
And she don’t need me
One of a kind, hell of a time
And I think I’m losing my mind
(bridge)
She’s her own woman
And she don’t need you
Her own woman
And she don’t need me
One of a kind, hell of a time
And I think I’m losing, I think I’m losing, I know I’m losing my mind

Not Coming Home
04:36

I don’t think I’m coming home tonight
I got no reason, to leave the bar
I’m living for the cause of a good time
Try to stop me and you won’t get far
I’m with the boys
We’re getting gacked
We’re making noise
The lines are racked
We’ll have a good time
With or without you
But something tells me you don’t think like I do
You’re ready to leave I’m still in the swing
Of the joys the night has yet to bring
After a week of nine to five
How can you even wonder why
I, I, I’m not coming home
Wanna leave? The car’s outside
In the moment, and out of your mind
You know I love you but I can’t abide
The hair trigger figure that’s slowly
Eating you alive
(bridge/solo)
I, I, I’m not coming home
I, I, I’m not coming home
I, I, I’m home

Out For The Count
03:25
|
|||
|
Tasted the wine, from my social grapevine
Finding my feet after tripping your landmine
Dragged through your hell, far from my home
It’s easy to see when I’m not on my own
Done with your bullshit
It don’t hit the same
My soul is tortured
And I ain’t part of your game
So tell your lies
These hands are untied
I’m swinging back
I ain’t out for the count
Since you were gone
It did not take long
For your machinations to creep up the vine
You’re disgusting
(That’s far too kind)
But I’m wasting breath like you waste my fucking time.
Done with your bullshit
It don’t hit the same
My soul is tortured
And I ain’t part of your game
So tell your lies
These hands are untied
I’m swinging back
I ain’t out for the count
(solo)
Done with your bullshit
It don’t hit the same
My soul is tortured
And I ain’t part of your game
So tell your lies
These hands are untied
I’m swinging back, cunt
I ain’t out for the count
