All Along The Watchtower - Jeff Healey Band
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen they drink my wine, plowman dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No need to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and that is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Angel - Jeff Healey Band
Angel came down
from heaven yesterday,
stayed with me just 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,"I'll come back again to see you tomorrow...."
And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side....
Sure enough,
this woman came home to me.
Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise....
And my angel,
she said unto me,
"Today is the day for you to rise."
Take my hand, you're gonna be my mind,
and she took me high over yonder.....
And I said fly on, my sweet angel.
Fly on through the sky.
Fly on, my sweet angel.
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side....

Badge - Jeff Healy
Thinkin' bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
And I'm thinkin' bout the love that you laid
on my table.
I told you not to wander round in the dark.
I told you bout the swans that they live in the park.
And I told you 'bout a kid now he's married to Mable.
BRIDGE:
Yes, I told you bout the life goes up & down.
Don't you notice how the wheel goes round?
And you better pick yourself up off the ground.
Before they bring the curtain down. Yes, before
they bring the curtain down.(Wooooo...)
Talkin bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.

I done run into my baby,

Well, I done ran into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans.
I knew they was mine

If I ever get back my blue jeans,
well how happy could one man be?
I said, uh, if I ever get back my blue jeans,
well, how happy can one man be?
Cause when I get back those blue jeans,
yeah, you know my baby,

Bulletproof - Jeff Healy
She plays rough
She ain't ready
There ain't a thing
In this world to prove
She's got a needle & a powder (people)
To keep her steady
Life's gonna teach her a thing or two
Talk is cheap
So listen up
You're in too deep
Enough is enough
CHORUS
Bulletproof
It's bad news
You give up
Like it's nothing to lose
Bulletproof
It's no use
You better face the truth
You ain't bulletproof
In my mind
She's still smokin'
Life's too painful
She gets straight
No lie
I ain't jokin'
It's gonna hit you like a hurricane
Talk is cheap
It can't be worse
Keep it up
You're gonna leave in a hearse
CHORUS
Look at the people
There's so much lust
You got everything
But still it's a bust
I see the sun
You see the rain
I see the hope
And you see the pain
CHORUS

Confidence Man - Jeff Healy
Well, I lost you at the border,
When you crossed it.
Had your number, baby,
But I lost it.
I know your love
Was just a flimflam.
CHORUS
Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
cause I'm a confidence man.
I can talk old ladies
Out of all of their money
I can talk young girls
Into calling me honey
You can talk all you want, baby
But I got fast hands.
I know your mother
Taught you how to bake a pie
And read a book
Your daddy
Taught you how to tell a lie
And not get shook
Let me tell you somethin', baby
You better learn,
If you're gonna con the con man,
You're liable to get burned
Now, now, now,
We were stretched out on the floor, baby,
It's all elastic,
But you stretched it too tight
and it snapped like plastic
And the pieces went flying across the badlands.
CHORUS
Now, maybe Chicago
Is where you're bound,
But love is a cheap perfume,
It hangs around
And you roll the dice,
Now let the bet stand.
CHORUS x 3

Cruel Little Number - Jeff Healy
Well she's got to be a 20
on a scale of 10
Walking on an edge
That's razor thin
One in a million
From her head to her toes
A hole in her heart
As the next man's money goes
CHORUS
She's a cruel little number
Wild little weed
Momma's little princess
Daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac
She's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number
Why do you have to be so cruel
She ain't tight with the ladies
She don't kiss and tell
She want a black Mercedes
500 SEL
She knows the scent of a dollar
Don't want a check in the mail
She blew the price of love
Right off the end of the scale
CHORUS
Her heart can't be broken
Cause it's stainless steel
You can beg, you can bargain
But she's never going to cut you a deal
CHORUS

Don't Let Your Chance Go By - Jeff Healy
Well, in case you haven't noticed
The girl's in love with you.
But you just seem to ignore her,
Tell me what you tryin' to do
Instead of looking the other way
You oughta give her the eye
Cause if she wants to love you,
Don't let your chance go by
Well, now look at her, man,
She got blue eyes and long blonde hair
And you know pretty girls like that
You just don't see everywhere
Yeah, start cashin' in on your good fortune, boy
Go on and give her a try,
Cause if she wants to love you,
Don't let your chance go by
Well, I've known you for a long time,
You know I don't give no jive
And I know she's got some loving
That'll help keep you alive.
If you turn that poor little girl down,
You're gonna make her cry,
because if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by
Yeah, if she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by
Woo! Yeah, she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by
I say it again, don't let your chance go by
One more time! Don't let your chance go by

Evil & Here to Stay - Jeff Healy
I was born at midnight
I was up running by dawn
Ain't nobody can stop me now
Cause I was out the door and gone
Everbody knows you better
Try & keep outta my way
Because some people come & go
But I'm evil & I'm here to stay
You know I can kill a man
Not even care
I can make love to you little girl
Till she just can't go nowhere
That's the way I live
Just fighting & lovin' day to day
You know some people come & go
But I'm evil & I'm here to stay
Well get me a one way ticket
On that road to Hell
You ever try to cross me, man
You ain't gonna live to tell
No no you better listen to what I say
You know some people come & go
But I'm evil and I'm here to stay
(I said) some people come & go
But I'm evil and I'm here to stay
Well you better not try to cut me down
Cause I'm evil and I'm here to stay

Heart of an Angel - Jeff Healy
No problem believing
in what she can't understand
or seeing
What she can't hold in her hand
Faith is her religion
You can see it in her eyes
When all the saints and the sinners
Stop to wave bye-bye
And the holy rollers
Come down from the sky
CHORUS
She's got the heart of an angel
But she cries like a little girl
She's got the heart of an angel
Well don't she cry, don't she cry, cry, cry
The sign said "confession
and redemption while you can"
She sought her salvation
In the hands of a preacher man
He just took the money
Her innocence and pride
And left her on the doorstep
With her heart cut open wide
The grand illusion
Just pushed her aside
CHORUS
She needs some healing
She she can't understand
That salvation
Is right in the palm of her hand
Hush, sweet baby
Your soul's in the sky
Hear of an angel
Sent to the heaven
Where all is forgiven
She's got the heart of an angel
The world needs some healing
For all to be forgiven
She's got the heart of an angel

Hoochie Coochie Man - Jeff Healy
Gypsy woman told my mother 'fore I was born,
You got a boy-child coming, gonna be a son of a gun.
Gonna make pretty womens jump and shout,
And then the world wanna know what this all about.
But you know I'm here.
Everybody knows I'm here.
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man.
Everybody knows I'm here.
I got the black cat bone and I got a mojo tooth.
I got the John the Conquerer Root, gonna mess with you.
I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand,
And then the world will know the hoochie coochie man.
CHORUS
On the seventh hour, on the seventh day,
On the seventh month, seven doctors say,
"He was born for good luck, that you'll see."
I got seven hundred dollars; don't you mess with me!

House That Love Built - Jeff Healy
the bar was filled with smoke and lies
i couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes
i pushed a strange woman off my lap
she had a snake tatooed on her back
the doors opened into the night
the silence kissed my worried life
i heard a song comin' from the back
it played over and over again
CHORUS
i stood just around the bend, over the hill
across the river bed, one step closer to hell
if i forget about my past, forget about my guilt
i go back to the house that love built, that love built
i went back to the bar again,
and headed straight for the band
i need to remember not to forget
all the life and the love we had
so play that song and make it right
get me out of this lonely night
slapped all my money into his hand
said play it over and over again
CHORUS
let me come inside, baby,
let me come inside into the house that love built,
that love built, the house that love built,
the house that love built

I Need to be Loved - Jeff Healy
Well, i'm hungry for lovin'
but I just can't get me none.
I tried and I tried
but I can't find anyone.
Won't somebody tell me what the reason can be,
why no girl wants to give her love to me?
Everybody needs something, and I need to be loved.
Now, most people have it,
and they get it all the time
But I do without it, tell me why can't love be mine?
I tried for so long
but it's so hard to find
a lover to help me,
it's breakin my mind.
Everybody needs something, and I need to be loved.
Well, I spend my time lost & lonely,
everyday and all night.
I don't know how long I can go on,
and I know is it ain't right.
Well now, can't find that certain someone,
and I just don't understand.
I know out there, there's a girl somewhere,
for such a lonely man.
I'll come home this evening
just like all the nights before,
and I'll be alone
when I walk through my front door.
And I'll go to bed 'round a quarter to 2,
and I will start cryin like I always do.
Everybody needs something and I need to be loved.
Whoa, I need to be loved.
yeah, i need to____ be loved_____.

Joined At The Heart - Jeff Healy
i sail through this ocean of love
i see the storm clouds above
will we survive till tomorrow?
you took all the hurt i could give
tou wanted our love to live
but all that i gave you was sorrow
CHORUS
there was a time when you and i were one
we had it all from the start
now it's cryin' all night
and our love's on the run
all of our dreams torn apart
joined at the heart
please understand
joined at the heart
since it began
joined at the heart
someday you'll see
we'll always be
joined at the heart
i sit on this island alone
until now ive never known
the line between love and hate
you can tell me the right words to say
to bring back what i threw away
how long will you keep me waiting?
there was a time when you and i were one
day after night after day
where is the magic that we had begun?
don't let it all slip away

Live & Love - Jeff Healy
i've done my share of time on the street
seen the girl on the corner, the cop on the beat
seen saints and sinners with their souls to the wall
i've seen 'em rise and you know I've seen 'em fall
some so angry, and others so mild
and the old so sad and the young so wild
and the cry of the motherless child
CHORUS
you've got to live, love and do it your way
never let it take you down
you've got to live, love from night to day
remember what you're givin'
lord it's comin' back around
if you listen close to the street you will hear
words and music, laughter and fear
the beggar says, can you spare me a dime?
the working girl says, can you spend a little time?
they're all singin' and dancin' for change
'cos lovin' is hard and livin' is pain
so lift your face to the rain
CHORUS
that's the way the story goes
where it's gonna end, no one knows

Stop Breaking Down - Jeff Healy
Ev'ry time I'm walking all down the street
some pretty mama start breaking down on me.
Stop breaking down, baby, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust you brains out, baby,
gonna make you lose your mind.
You Saturday night women, now, you just ape and clown,
you don't do nothing but tear my reputation down.
Stop breaking down, mama, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust you brains out, baby,
yeah, it's gonna make you lose your mind.
I love my baby ninety nine degrees,
but that mama got a pistol, laid it down on me.
Stop breaking down, baby, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust you brains out, baby,
yeah, gonna make you lose your mind.
Ev'ry time I'm walking all down the street
some pretty woman start breaking down on me.
Stop breaking down, mama, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust your brains out, baby,
gonna make you lose your mind.

Stuck In The Middle With You - Jeff Healy
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight.
I got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs.
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, and I'm all over the place.
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Well, you started off with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please.
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore.
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
And you started off with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawling,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please.
Yeah, I don't know why I came here tonight.
I got the feeling that something ain't right.
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down those stairs.
Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you.
Stuck in the middle with you.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Yer Blues - Jeff Healy
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.

When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky - Jeff Healy
Look out across the fields, see me returning.
Smoke is in your eyes, you draw a smile.
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning,
You've had time to think about it for a while.
Well, I've walked two hundred miles, look me over.
Its the end of the chase and the moon is high.
It won't matter who loves who.
You'll love me or I'll love you
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling from the sky.
I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting.
Sorrow covers you up like a cape.
Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting
With disaster you somehow managed to escape.
Well, I can't provide for you no easy answers.
Who are you that I should have to lie?
You'll know all about it, love.
It'll fit you like a glove
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling from the sky.
I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river.
You must have been protecting someone last time I called.
I've never asked you for nothing that you couldn't deliver.
I've never asked to set yourself up for a fall.
I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness,
For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die.
Stick around, baby, we're not through,
Don't look for me, I'll see you.
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling from the sky.
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection.
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line.
I don't want to be a fool starving for affection.
I don't want to drown in someone else's wine.
For all eternity I think I will remember
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
You will seek me and you'll find
Me in the wasteland of your mind.
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling from the sky.
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
But you were gambling for support.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better.
Where my memory is not so short.
This time I'm asking for freedom,
Freedom from a world which you deny.
And you'll give it to me now,
I'll take it anyhow.
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling,
When the night comes falling from the sky.
