Harley and Rose were reunited
life is a bitter disappointment
like static on the dial
Harley claimed there was no lover
like tumblin' down the aisle
you know we all can change direction
Harley was dreamin' of his funeral
this time they said it was for real
she'd take him back to where it started
he would melt her heart of steel
she would hear young Harley say
if you find something more important
I will not stand in your way
a look come back in style
Harley and Rose
they just lost it for a while
nothin' blooms this time of year
while Rose was thinkin' of another
she did not see him disappear
a half forgotten smile
Harley and Rose
they just lost it for a while
ain't nothin' to it just relax
he adds one more to his collection
she strikes another useless match
as customary he was late
but just in time to see young Rosie
lay her flowers at the gate
HARMONICA Anthony Harkin
Don't need another weight around my neck
Hear that wheeler rollin' down the track
So if you think you've got it together
Don't need another love to tie me down
So if you think you got it together
don't want no two-timin' nervous wreck
don't need a rich boy, to drive my car
get the message honey, stay where you are
ain't no use in you just turnin' your back
the winds are rockin' out the cradle of love
this ain't the season or the summer of love
there's just one thing you oughta know
Never let me go
Don't let me go
don't want no whispers 'bout you leavin' this town
you might be ready for the show to begin
but I ain't got time for any innocent thing
there's just one thing you oughta know
Never let me go
Don't let me go
HARMONICA Anthony Harkin
HORNS The Brasstards
CONGAS Alex Pertout
Think I see the citadel
tie me to a rope of sand
you look up I see your face
you look so nervous
riding on an endless sea
I hear it now
easy now to trace your steps
you look up I see your face
light a candle ring the bell
beat the hollow drum
lead me through take my hand
all hail the kingdom come
then everything falls into place
and love goes wild
but I'm at your service
I was here from the start
you captured my heart
you look so pretty
this weary city
its screamin' tonight
better hold on tight
in front of you
in front of me
we share the suit of night
I know that sound
the wind, the moon you turn around
then love goes wild
you remember time forgets
here on the sidewalk of sorrow
nothin' left to keep you here
no more dreams for you to fear
safe in the arms of tomorrow
then everything falls into place
and love goes wild
STRINGS Stephen McTaggart
Gabby Halloran
You don't have to go ahead and
mount a big search
It'll come quick or ease in slow
Hold it up to the mirror
If you let things slip from bad to worse
it's as clear as the road to that old Spanish church
as plain as the nose on your cute little face
its an open and shut case
but when trouble hits it just won't let go
there's always something you cannot resist
a slow fade with a bitter twist
tell me what you see
something might look familiar
but it's a bad likeness of me
it's gonna take a miracle to lift that curse
so clear the air get it off your chest
take our medicine and hope for the best
ACOUSTIC BASS Stephen Hadley
There's thunderclouds ahead
we swore to put things right
this ain't no Lord's Day journey
black seas pitch and toss
there's terror in the sky
there's thunder in my head
and peril on the shore
it takes a bell to wake the dead
so ring it hard once more
by the shadow of a lover's moon
then you have me back my sight
and not a moment too soon
there's no treasure or golden prize
I'm on the road to ruin
carried by the light in your eyes
til you're unsteady on your feet
when they raise that fiery cross
together we'll share the heat
the fury never stops
you carry me
we'll chart a steady course
no tears or remorse
you carry me
the coast is ironbound
now I remember what you said
it's like a hammer comin' down
PENNY WHISTLE Dobe Newton
VIOLIN Danny Bourke
ACCORDION George Butrumlis
HORNS The Brasstards
GUITAR Phil Butson
I've been walkin' these streets alone
We're hungry for the bitter fire
Baby, don't make a murmur
Out in the land of mercy
This storm will never break tonight
ain't no comfort for a heart of stone
you see a shadow fallin' in the rain
you find hope you better look again
driven by a wild desire
stagger through the dust and haze
broken in these empty days
baby now don't you speak
they need a light to shine on through
down on Angel Street
over by the waterline
they need a light to shine on through
but it ain't no friend of mine
so you'd better take some care tonight
there's a hammer beatin' hard inside
you can run but you can never hide
SLIDE GUITAR Sam See
Jodi just ran out of luck
Lucy still sits there at home
Ride ride just let it ride
They're tearin' the carnival down
Its hard to know what to expect
like you do when your plans come unstuck
nothin' to lose the river so wide
peace in the valley and tears for the bride
there are things worse than drinkin' alone
he calls her sweetheart she wears his ring
but who can say which way love's gonna swing
Keep it all locked up inside
Ride ride just let it ride
Save all your tears for the bride
even strangers are welcome in town
broken windows and rusted wire
ain't enough fuel to start a good fire
when along the way lines disconnect
hope for the weary and sight to the blind
but only one love of a kind
PEDAL STEEL Lucky Oceans
Small changes, hard lovin'
Down the street
Tell me, does your heart race
the tide is turnin'
hey darlin', I've been callin' out your name
but like a tear that's fallin'
I can't get you back again
I'm not pretending that I know where we went wrong
but hey sugar, it's been a hard lovin'
where the houses burn with every kind of neon flame
they lay my heart to sleep
but my soul's driftin' in the rain
you know you got me
on a street so wet with tears
and I can't find no answers here
like a river through the night, now it's overflowing
drowning what you feel inside
I remember what you said
good love can stand some rain
the streets are shinin', and I can't get warm again
SLIDE GUITAR Sam See
CONGAS Alex Pertout
It might've been the angels
If someone takes a dagger
Take the flame
You might get a warning
fallin' in the street
it could've been the stars crashin'
every time we meet
it might've been a ghost train
wailin' out of sight
but it had to be you
in the heart of the night
hold it to your throat
might be time to get ready
time to grab your coat
there's nothin' in the harbour
just the dead city light
you're lost on a corner
in the heart of the night
hold it up higher
light my soul
set it on fire
or maybe just a sign
don't be in a hurry
to find out why
because there's nothin' in the harbour
just the dead city light
you're runnin' away from me
in the heart of the night
TRUMPET Peter Bishop
A lonesome joker I've become
And you just might get lucky
I'm hanging up my mourning coat
Won't you save me
I'll slide the pieces up my sleeve
crawling at your gate
I remember in my better days
I was not the one to wait
that leaving kiss is on your lips
that secret is all mine
and I'm handing down my calling card
to the hands of old man time
you just might want to kiss the ground
'cause I'm giving out my calling card
to anyone around
I'm handing down my chains
I'm walking off this sinking boat
and nothing shall remain
I'm stepping out into the sun
looking for my day
these simple things now I've received
are bound to light my way
for love is a fearless enemy
won't you save me
I see these days become tomorrow
with only myself left to follow
I'll take the guilty down
the broken lovers I believe
are better lost than found
they're burning letters by the fire
the river rolls and turns
I hear the whisper on the wire
the loser never learns
There ain't nobody
Fell that heartbeat
She told me she was a dancer
There's a little strip on the edge of town
keep your head on straight
These times are runnin' wild
Blame it on Sunday
She took me away to the Cannonball Cafe
nobody like me
I'll keep you satisfied
stay when I set you free
there ain't no time at all
keep on runnin'
'til you stumble and fall
at the Cannonball Cafe
hard-pressed for an answer
well I'll never know what to say
a refuge for the weak
and your money down
you may find out what you seek
your days are numbered
you take our love on trial
but don't you ever wonder
don't blame it on the mess I'm in
they keep on knockin'
so just let 'em on in
PIANO Paul Grabowsky
HORNS The Brasstards
GUITAR Ross Hannaford
She can't take her eyes off the clock
The streets are still quiet and bare
do you remember now can you recall
They ring out the fortunes of war
can you imagine those long lonely years
she's meeting him down by the dock
the sweet scent of lavender
hand-picked rose
a cold wind blows
she ties one last bow in her hair
if everything changes
then nothing's the same
she whispers his name
fields in December the sea rise and fall
we all rise and fall
then bury their dead back on shore
the spoils of victory
heart and steel
a time to heal
smoke from the factories children in tears
do you remember now can you recall
fields in December the sea rise and fall
we all rise and fall
ACOUSTIC BASS Ben Robinson
PIANO Paul Grabowsky
TRUMPET Bob Venier
Take a long look around
When things ain't quite what they seem
Take a good look around
lift me up take me to the house of light
there's too much commotion in this town
vipers on the street as thick as thieves
they all say they want out but no-one leaves
you might caress the holy stone
you may worship some poor fool's paper throne
you can wire up all it takes
you'll just end up one of nature's little mistakes
you cannot find your way
you've lost that golden dream
meet me on the road
I will share your heavy load
we'll be safe there tonight
in the house of light
you might think your life is cursed
you might know you're gonna die at sea of thirst
you might always be ignored
you may never strike a sympathetic chord
when things don't amount to much
your hopes are all washed up
you've lost your golden touch
meet me on the road
I will share your heavy load
we'll be bathed in white
at the house of light
there's nothin' but confusion goin' down
all the stories have been sold
there's no innocence or love to behold
lift me up so I can see
ELECTRIC GUITAR & HARMONY VOCAL Ross Hannaford
I can still see your eyes
Tell those sad lonely tales
Baby it's a crime
I've been waitin' for you
I've been countin' the days
Rock on hungry river
lookin' up through stormy skies
baby it's a crime
but you do it all the time
sweet love runnin' off the rails
take me to the line
then turn our money into wine
but you do it all the time
say that you'll be mine
then turn our money into wine
knowin' what you put me through
baby it's a crime
but you do it all the time
bittersweet endless ways
you promise to be mine
then turn our money into wine
roll on empty moon
ain't got a worry
if I know you'll be here soon
take me through the fire
tell me it's alright
if you say you're leavin'
then I'll drown here tonight
ACCORDION George Butrumlis
ADDITIONAL SNARE Joe Camilleri
CONGAS Alex Pertout
BASS Jeffrey Burstin
Way down in Tresco
Here in the hothouse
High on the mountain
Back in the sweatbox
We all got the deadline blues
Safe in the country
Trapped in the pit
We all got the deadline blues
they're takin' it slow
keepin' the faith child
watchin' it flow
they wait in the dark
try to make love
just to tear it apart
they answer the call
raised up to glory
safe if you fall
you crawl to her door
lean on the number
collapse on the floor
sorry boy, you lose
it's just what it seems
riding on hope
while you live out your dreams
they still shiver in fright
you might belong
but it's hell here tonight
sorry boy, you lose
we all got the deadline blues
honey now light that fuse
DOBRO Sam See
ACOUSTIC BASS Stephen Hadley
CONGAS Alex Pertout
Deep in the valley back of the range
Take the sad road
Moonlight and roses
Way on the hill
Somewhere they're playin'
Take the sad road
time goes slowly, things don't change
tattered pictures pinned to a wall
one love, or no love at all
that leads out of town
don't say nothin'
just lay your pretty head down
a trace of perfume
yellow candles
melt in your room
tired eyes
searchin' in vain
long years
to wait out the pain
they're waltzin' still
there's no winding track
to carry your baby back
that old serenade
two hearts watchin'
their last sunset fade
high above the colours that burn
dark clouds tumble and turn
that leads out of town
don't say nothin'
just lay your pretty head down
