I don’t care bout those high heels your wearing baby
I just want your stare
I don’t need no twerk dance your pushing honey
Your walk says it all - yeah
See girls don’t light my fire baby
I need a wo wo woman
V2
I’d jump from speeding train
I’d swim cross kaleidoscope bay
I’d sink this knife straight into my heart
If I could only have just one more night with ya
See girls don’t light my fire baby
I need a wo wo woman
V3
I’ve no time for the games people playing
Used them more than a once before
I just need some affirmative action
Need a woman with experience
Girls don’t light my fire baby
I need a wo wo woman

V1
Everybody wants to be loved by someone and I ain’t no exception to the rule.
She found me half way down a bottle of whiskey when I thought my life had come to an end. She said
CH
It’s a Cruel Cruel World
I know you love her but now it’s through
It’s a Cruel Cruel World - it’s true
So let me ease the pain till morning’s new
V2
Tell me do you ever, look back and wonder
Where it all went astray?
Best intentions, don’t mean nothing
And love? where’s it even fit in? She said
It’s a Cruel Cruel World
I know you love her but now it’s through
It’s a Cruel Cruel World - it’s true
I know it cos I’m hurting too
BRD
Lets lose the past and make no plans
Lets quit this space
And make a get-away
We're all we need
Just you and me
Ah today
It’s a Cruel Cruel World
I know you love her but now it’s through
It’s a Cruel Cruel World - it’s true
Let me ease the pain till morning’s new
It’s a Cruel Cruel World
I know you love her but now it’s through
It’s a Cruel Cruel World - it’s true
Let me ease the pain till morning’s new

The Greatest Blues

I got the greatest blues
Cos I went and lost the greatest love
I got the greatest blues
Cos I went and lost the greatest love
Now my hearts so heavy baby
Since you left and gone
Now I cried me a river
Deep as a mountain high
Yeah I cried me a river
Deep as a mountain high
Now I’m slowly slowly drowning
And I feel I’m gonna die
I got the greatest blues
Since I went and lost the greatest love
I got the greatest blues
Cos I went and lost the greatest love I ever known
Now my hearts so heavy baby
Since you left and gone
The only thing keep me going
Is playing the blues for you.

Hey now people have you ever met some one that lives only for themselves.
Your best friend when it suits their hand but if it doesn’t you’re left by yourself.
Got to be right can never be wrong but if the facts they just don’t get along,
They get cut in huff and a puff and well now baby I’ve had enough
CH
I’ve got to pack it up
I’ve got to quit our love
V2
Well now brothers and sisters and a mothers and all you papas too.
What you put in is what you pull out. Now I tell ya hey that’s the truth.
Don’t expect for all the people you misuse to not turn and give it back to you.
That’s life not a roll of the dice. Just a victim of your own device
CH
I’ve got to pack it up
I’ve got to quit our love

V1
Monday I found you
By Wednesday I was in love
Friday I told you
Then Sunday you broke my heart
I know I was wrong
But you’re the first in so very long
See I’m little immature and a whole lot of insecure
So I guess I’ll be on my way to the only place I know
I’m heading straight back into the alone
V2
Same old story
I think love just ain’t my friend
I feeI I got to hide away - cos
I don’t want to be hurt again
See I’m all or nothing
I don’t dwell down the middle of the road
Pack my heart back on the shelf. I'm better off by myself
So guess I’ll be on my way to the only place I know
I'm heading straight back into the alone.
BRD
I can’t help the way I feel about you baby yeah
Tell me why loving you so wrong when these feelings are so strong
SOLO
I won't let you go baby
See I’m all or nothing
I don’t dwell down the middle of the road
I pack my heart back on the shelf. I'm better off by myself
So guess I’ll be on my way to the only place I know
I'm heading straight back into the alone.
I'm heading straight back into the alone
Only place I know
Why? Why Babe?
Heading straight. Heading straight back
Into the alone

V1
I've put all my eggs in one basket
For the last eight years
I’ve lost a lot of friends along the way baby
And I’ve masked a lot of tears
I keep on borrowing more time
Anything for the cause
And now in the blink of an eye
Our baby's now a boy
CH
We’re gonna make or break
No more give and take
Ain’t gonna waste no time on the same mistakes
This is our time
It’s on my dime
Gonna take chance
To reach the high
V2
I’m feel myself teetering
So close to the edge
One moment I’ve come so far
And the next I ain’t achieved shit
I’ve always thought I was a nice guy
With some talent to stake
But maybe I’m neither
and TONIGHT’S MAKE OR BREAK
CH
We’re gonna make or break
No more give and take
Ain’t gonna waste no time on the same mistakes
This is our time
It’s on my dime
Gonna take chance
To reach the high

Mix Tape

I was always a hy-per colour tee shirt guy
She was always a dream just out of my reach
My favourite times from way back when
We’re sharing earbuds from my Walkman
Now I wonder if there’s life on mars and you still think of me.
CH
Well there’s an old yearbook hiding that’s bookmarked to your name
By a yo yo painted purple that you left behind that day
And a photo slowly fading of what we might have been
Next to a mix tape undelivered marked ‘the way I feel’
V2
Bartender give me another and let me talk shit a time
See my mind keeps on reliving our last goodbye
She’s waving back from her folks truck
And I’m running I’m running just trying to keep up
Now I wonder if there’s life on mars and you still think of me.
CH
Well there’s an old yearbook hiding that’s bookmarked to your name
By a yo yo painted purple that you left behind that day
And a photo slowly fading of what we might have been
Next to a mix tape undelivered marked ‘the way I feel’
BR
So if the needle returned to the start of this song would it change a thing?
Now I know the future and this world we live in
Would it be better, just left a dream?
I don't wanna risk my sweetest memories
CH
Now there’s an old yearbook hiding that’s bookmarked to your name
By a yo yo painted purple that you left behind that day
And a photo slowly fading of what we might have been
Next to a mix tape undelivered marked ‘the way I feel’

The Killer

V1
Oh when the lights go down.
My blood pressure goes up and
I can feel the beat of 10000 souls
Just like volts rising up now and
Band counts 1 2 3 4
As I take to the floor.
That’s when I see her. It’s like fever.
Baby what’s your name?
CH
They call me the Killer.
Killer Killer Killer.
Stare to long you’ll turn to stone.
Killer Killer Killer.
I’ll mesmerise I’ll hypnotise ya.
Killer Killer Killer.
With a hold that’s tougher than 8 foot Gorilla.
Killer Killer Killer.
V2
I can’t I can’t concentrate
I keep on making mistakes
I don’t know where to look
You know those eyes they must be at least 10 foot wide.
Baby. Why are you so damn cruel?
You got me acting a fool.
That's when I feel her yank my sneaker.
So I lean down real close and she says you know.
CH
They call me the Killer.
Killer Killer Killer.
Stare to long you’ll turn to stone.
Killer Killer Killer.
I’ll mesmerise I’ll hypnotise ya.
Killer Killer Killer.
With a hold that’s tougher than 8 foot Gorilla.
Killer Killer Killer.
BR
Why didn’t I come find you?
Baby Baby
Why didn’t I come find you?
Baby Baby
But at least we’ll always know that together
CH
We were the Killers.
Killer Killer Killer.
Stare to long you’ll turn to stone.
Killer Killer Killer.
I’ll mesmerise I’ll hypnotise ya.
Killer Killer Killer.
With a hold that’s tougher than 8 foot Gorilla.
Killer Killer Killer.
Killer Killer Killer.
Killer Killer Killer.
Killer Killer Killer.
Killer Killer Killer.

Can't Get Close To You
05:59
|

V1
In the summer of 84
Me and my friend camped out on the floor
Watching a rocket man carry the flame
I remember the wonder we shared that day
But no matter how I try
I can’t get close to you
V2
That day you showed me
how to ride my bike
If I close my eyes I can almost feel that pride
Now I’ve been searching ever since
To relive that feeling once again
But no matter how I try
I can’t get close to you
V3
Ain’t nobody who can me lift me up
Ain’t nobody who can bury me down so low
You might think I just let it go
But hey how would you know
because no matter how I try
I can’t get close to you
BR
Can't get close to you
I can't get you close to you
No matter how hard I try
Always left by and by
Always. Alwyas
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
V4
So it’s time I start anew
I got to move on not with but without you
And I’ll always feel it’s a crying shame
That a pact so tight fell by the ways
But no matter how I try
I can’t get close to you.

Lachy Doley Sydney, Australia
Dubbed the Jimi Hendrix of the Hammond Organ, a player who can pump, pamper and pound unbelievable, intense, ferocious and sometimes transcendent sounds from his organ and clavinet, only to fire powerful bluesy vocals that rip straight from the heart screaming as they pass the vocal chords to produce one mesmerising and unforgettable show. ... more
