Street Life Lyrics
I have not found any lyrics that are quite right so I have listened to this album to the best of my ability, and this is what I came up with it.
House On The Ocean
All I ever wanted in my life
Was a house on the ocean,
With my wife
Something's tellin' me in my eyes
You're not living, you're dying
In your world
(Chorus)
Please don't die
Trying not to say goodbye
Please don't die
Trying not to say goodbye
Trying not to make,
Make me cry.
All I ever wanted to do
Is chop wood for my fire,
For winter.
But all you ever picked up when you were younger,
Is get a job and you'll go higher
In your world
Chorus
All I'd ever had to do
Was with either living or dying,
In this world.
All I ever wanted in my life
Was a house on the ocean
With my wife.
Chorus
Little Boy
There was a little boy
Out in the country
He thought he was fine
Cuz he was never hungry
Was a battlefield out in the country
They were pouring in, out from the city.
(Chorus)
For crying out loud you stole my baby.
(For crying out loud you stole my baby)
For cying out loud you stole my baby
You stole my baby
You stole my baby
Standing at the door when they came running,
The mother's and father's, they were all worried.
But my brother's and father keep away the enemy.
Was a battlefield out in the country...
Chorus
Don't destroy my home!
Don't destroy my home!
Dont destroy my home!
Don't destroy my home...
Chorus
Life
Singing life walking on a road
You can fall, you can grow, whoooa
I'm not, Papa's girl, oh no
He just didn't want me
I just didn't want the rest...
Today -
(Chorus)
Singing life, is like walking on a road
You can fall, you can grow, whoooa
We're saying life is like walking on road
You can fal,l you can grow.
Oh mother, I pray for us today
There's a love, a disease
Spreading love overseas
Today.
I'm not, Papa's girl, I'm not, Oh no
He just didn't want me,
And I, I just didn't want the rest!
No no...
Chorus
I say that life is like walking on a road,
You can fall you can grow!
Crazy
Say why am I so crazy?
I'm sorry - I can't stop me from growing.
They ask me,
Why am I crazy?
And I tell them -
I can't stop me from growing.
(Whoooooaaa)
Why am I so, so, so crazy?
I think - That I'm just an artist.
Being crazy, is not normal
But I've got, only one life to live.
I dance my life
(You dance your life)
And I sing
And that's all.
And nobody, will stop me from growing.
(Whooooaaa)
Why am I, so, so, so crazy?
I think - That I'm just an artist.
Hey Mr. Bigtime
Hey Mr. Bigtime
You're not the only one!
Hey Mr. Bigtime
We'll fight you any day.
I wake up every morning
I spread my wings to soar
I look up straight up above me
The endless view of sky
Whoooa!
(Chorus)
We fly and we fly
We fly like the free birds fly
We fly over seas
We fly like the free birds fly
The wind that blows above me
Helps me reach the sky
I bring back sunlight with me
And you'll soar and soar so high!
Whoooa!
Hey Mr. Bigtime
You're not the only one!
Hey Mr. Bigtime
We'll fight you any day!
I wake up every morning
I spread my wings to soar
I look up straight up above me
It helps me reach the sky
Whoooa!
Chorus
Maccaroni
It's like in the morning
A cup of coffee
Step in the car
And you're not taking advice.
Say, you go driving
Don't know you're shortcuts,
You're on a high -
You think you're getting somewhere
Hey ohhhhh
Hey ohhhhh
Well pepperoni and ratatoni
And let my mom and my daddy
Come with a tasty touch.
Well maccaroni, that's not bologna
And let spaghetti fill the measure with a tasty touch.
Hey ohhhh
Hey ohhhh
Everybody's going the way way street
Everybody is not the same.
(repeat)
Well pepperoni, it's not a phony
It's not pretend, that's how we start the day.
Cuz maccaroni and ratatoni
And let my mom and my daddy
Come with a tasty touch.
Hey ohhhh
Hey ohhhh
Everybody's going the way way street
Everybody is not the same.
(repeat)
Well pepperoni, it's not a phony
It's not pretend, that's how we start the day.
Cuz maccaroni and ratatoni
And let my mom and my daddy
Come with a tasty touch.
Hey ohhhh
Hey ohhhh
Oh yeah! Yeah!
Oh yeah! Yeah!
Stranger
You wouldn't believe in me
You wouldn't believe in me
You wouldn't believe in me
They called me stranger
I am a stranger
Then came the danger
I calmed them down.
Fifteen minutes away
He wanted to see,
Come ringing bells,
Then went in the fire,
Then went in the fire,
Then went in the fire
He lost his eye...
When they believed in me
When they believed in me
They called me sheriff
They called me sheriff
Going down to fix the city
Going down to fix the city
Won't you - won't you let me go, let me go?
Going down to fix the city
Going down to fix the city
Won't you - won't you let me go, let me go?
Help me if you can
(Help me!)
Help me if you can,
(Help me!)
Help me if you can,
I think I'm dying
I think I'm dying
I think I'm dying
(say!)
Help me if you can
(Help me!)
Help me if you can,
(Help me!)
Help me if you can,
I think I'm dying
I think I'm dying
I think I'm dying
Crisis
Sweetest angels are still crying
Because my baby, the world is dying
But if they continue crying,
Their wings will make hard for flying...
I'm going through my crisis, my crisis
Paying prices every day.
I need you, and you need me
To unblind my eyes so that I can see.
I see the light and I'm getting closer,
From this side, I get hit by a bulldozer!
I'm going through my crisis, my crisis
Paying prices
I'm taking advices, advices
Pay prices, every day.
Every day, so what am I
Every day, gonna do?
Every day, every dime
Every day, all through.
Every day, it's every day
Every day, every day
Everyday.
Grand-mama
Well I'm gonna see, my grandmother
And I'm gonna see, my grandfather

And he's gonna give me a collar tie
Because I like that
I really like that.
Oh, they really like me

They really like me, because I care.
Because I care, because I care.

And I'm gonna catch the biggest fish
With grandfather, for grandmother
Because she likes it.

Chicken Pies
Fifteen hundred chicks trying to get with the cocks now
That is what I call a chicken pie.
And if you're gonna live your life as a cock, say
Go fill up a chicken farm!
Soon we'll be fifteen hundred cheeky-chicken pies
Running after you not interested in the pies.
Fifteen hundred cheeky-chicken pies
Running after you to get the prize.
And here it goes again with fifteen hundred chicks, yeah
Show what they can do better of.
Sensation will get me something that the other won't dare
The chicken pies are anxious for their prize.
Fifteen hundred cheeky-chicken pies
Running after you not interested in the pies.
Fifteen hundred cheeky-chicken pies
Running after you to get the prize.
Bawk bawk bawk bawk....

Silver & Gold
We had to go, and leave our homes
Some died young and some died old
The roads were long, but our hearts were strong
Some went down, some beat the wrong.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Took away my son
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Took away my son, away.
And some went sailing to other lands
And we were starting a rocking band
We're rowing here, we're rowing there
We found again, life to be there.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Took away my son
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Took away my son, away.
Until this day, they had no shame
Until they heard, this song again
And we are proud to be alive,
To sing for Father's life.
We had to go, and leave our homes
Some died young and some died old
The roads were long, but our hearts were strong
Some went down, some beat the wrong.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Took away my son
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Took away my son, away.
