I'M NOT AWAKE YET
Deuce - 1971
I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time.
For today's the day that you are coming back.
And I can't wait to see you materialize.
How much can I take now before I break inside?
How long will it take now before I realize,
That I can't live without you by my side,
And nothing else will keep me satisfied?
I've looked at my heart now and I trusted my eyes.
I made that mistake now ain't gonna make it twice.
But time can put the man on the other side.
And I can't wait to see what's left behind.
I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
I haven't been late yet.
Gonna be on time, gonna be on time,
gonna be on, gonna be on time.
But today's the day that you are coming back,
And I can't wait to see you materialize.
Sleeps On A Clothes Line Rory Gallagher
I could sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Oh yeah...
Looking for my baby,
But everywhere I've gone.
Tell me I just missed her,
It's gone on too long.
Well, I'd go up on a mountain,
And I'd fight a wild cat.
Walk over Niagara,
And all the way back.
Get lost in the jungle,
And I'd live up a tree.
That's what I would want to do,
If you would stay with me.
Oh yeah...
Looking for you baby,
Gone from pillar to post.
Wverywhere I'd just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.
Well I'm looking for you baby,
In the cafe's and the bar.
All the places is glad to know you,
And they say you cannot go too far.
But you've gone far enough baby,
If I find out I've done nothing wrong.
Don't have to ask who's the fool,
I won't be the one.
Owwwww.......not a loser...
Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane,
Of a Jumbo Jet.
Walk over the Ocean
And I'd never once get wet.
Go skating on an iceberg,
And that's what I would once do.
Lay it down a dozen times,
Just to hear you say,
"I Love You".
Looking for you baby,
But everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.
Well, I could,
Sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Yeah...
Looking for you baby,
Everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
You know, it's gone on too long.
Yeah..
Gone too long baby.
Yeah..

LONELY MILE
Jinx (bonus track) - 1982
It's five 'o'clock in the morning,
Ain't got a dime.
Standing under your window,
That ain't no crime.
Keeping out of the weather,
Up for the dawn.
Yeah I'm stealing stealing,
When I should be gone.
Six 'o'clock in the morning,
Ain't got no prayer.
Cause your never no answer,
But I know your there.
It's my own fault you see,
It must be the wine.
Got this fever, getting deeper,
Until it cuts like a knife.
yeah
You've got me walking that lonely mile,
Just like a child.
Why you trying to act so tough,
Tell me what's my crime.
yeah
Nine 'o'clock in the morning,
Still no sign.
Turn on the big sun,
Switch down the night.
Like a hand in a glove.
We were partners in crime,
I'm goin to leave here.
Shouldn't be here,
Walk down that lonely mile.
