Maggie
(Ray Dorset)
She got long hair she got
big eyes
She wears skirts that show her thights
O Maggie, come along and spent some time
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with
me
I like Sue, she's alright
I'm gonna see my Maggie tonight
O Maggie, come along and spent some time
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with
me
I like Sue, Rose is better
I'm gonna write my Maggie a letter
O Maggie, come along and spent some time
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with
me
I like Sue, she's gone to
my head
I like Maggie 'cause she's ready for bed
O Maggie, come along and spent some time
O Maggie, come along and spent some time, with
me
O Maggie, come along and
spent some time
O Maggie, come along and spent some time
O Maggie, come along and spent some time
Marguerita
(Ray Dorset)
We
got in our convertible an' went down to the beach
Found
a quiet little spot not too out of reach
The
sun set on the water, the waves broke on the sand
A
single kiss an' just one smile I took her by the hand
CHORUS
A
transistor radio played our favourite tune
A
cigarette, a flask of wine we loved beneath the moon
A
soft sea breeze cooled the air we strolled but not too far
Hand
in hand and cheek to cheek we made back to our car
CHORUS
In
that seventeenth Century farmhouse in that real old fashioned room
With
those fragile lace white curtains silhouetted by the moon
I
held her soft warm body I dreamt of her all night long
But
when I woke from my pleasant sleep my sweet love child had gone
CHORUS
Have
you run off with some crazy guy
He
can give you more things than I can buy
Has
he put you out on the streets
So
you can sell your beautiful sweet body
Just
to get a few more things
I
know you always wanted fine clothes
Red
fox furs, diamond bracelets
And
big gold and sapphire rings
Oh
I tried so hard to please you baby
Now
I can't get you off my mind
Come
back, come back home to me Margarita
Oh
come back I've been waiting so long
I
need you, I need you every night
Oh
yeah you've got to gotta get back Margarita
I
remember the first time we met
You
were drinking coffee in an old cafe
Tears
were running down your cheeks
From
those big green eyes
Your
long blonde hair was in a mess
You'd
been caught out in the rain
I
sat down beside you, we talked for a while
You
smoked my last cigarette
You
were just seventeen.

Cool Jesus - Demo Only
I
went off to Sweden
Arrived
at half past ten
Went
to find my manager
Had
gone to buy some pens
I
went down the road
Found
him in a shop
Looking
through some magazines
S.E.X.
aid stuff
About
two dozen ballpoint pens
were
parcelled up for him
I
asked him what they were all for
he
said
just
look in the end
I
held up the ball point
Right
up to the light
And
saw some photographic views
of
people positions 4 & 5 69
I
said we gotta move on an' get to the gig
He
said just a mo let's go next door
I
want to get a few more things
He
came out with a carrier bag
full
of books and films.
Maybe
That's The Way (Ray Dorset)
Maybe it’s the way that you holt my hand
When the sun goes down and there shadows all
around
Maybe it’s the way that you build me up
When things go wrong and I’m feeling real
down.
Anyway I can’t let you
on girl
In my mind I’d do anything for you
Bin this way sice the first time I saw you
I can’t get you outta my head.
Well I’m talking
‘bout….
The feeling that I get
when you holt me tight
Burns me right up just like dynamite
In the winter when the cold wind blows
I’ve got on my mind all the way home.
Sometin’s strange in my
body and my head
Bin this way got this feelin’ when we met
It got stronger rhe first time that we touched
Now I have you I can’t
love you enough.

nearly made me sick
CHORUS
That

To

The

CHORUS
I
stood on the station
Waitin'
for a train
The
porter said man this ones yours
But
it took me the wrong way
CHORUS
I
went to a dance hall
A
girl gave me her hand
An'
just as we moved in real close
She
said here comes my man
CHORUS

I
went to a restaurant
Ordered
myself some food
The
waiter trod on my foot
An'
then he spilt my soup
CHORUS
Lying
in the park one day
Trying
to get some rest
Shielding
my eyes from the sun
An'
someone stole my bread

Memoirs
Of A Stockbroker (Ray Dorset)
I remember when I was very
young,
Had lot of toys and I had lots of fun, yes I did,
Playing mum's and dad's with the girls down the
road,
I used to pull their hair and I used to pick my
nose, yes I did,
"Didn't we all"
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to think back
to the past,
What about all the sweets we used to eat,
And the games we used to play in the park.
I remember when I was at
school,
I didn't do my homework and I broke all the
rules, yes I did,
Watching all the girls getting undressed in the
gym'
Smoking in the toilets, beat up the little kids,
yes I did,
"Didn't we all"
Now I'm getting pretty old, I know I could have
done a lot more,
Like putting sugar in the headmaster's tank,
Of his brand new Jaguar.
I remember when I was at
work,
I had to wear a suit and a had my hair cut, yes
I did,
Yes sir, no sir, three bags full,
The boss was a drag and work was a bore, yes It
was,
" 'en it all' "
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to think back
to the past,
What about all the fiddles that we did,
And the times I got landed in the cart.
I remember my very first
date,
I took her to a movie and I got her home late,
yes I did,
Her father got mad so I bought him a pint,
Worst thing I ever did, now I'm lumbered for
life, big mistake,
"We all make 'em "
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to de thinks
back to the past,
What about all the beer we used to drink,
And the chicks we used to have in the grass.
Work very hard got
promotion at work,
Got a mortgage, got a house, got a baby, got a
car,
"In that order ? " "You must be
joking"
Got ulcers in my stomach got false teeth and got
piles,
Don't get on with the wife, could do with
someting on the side, yes I could,
"Couldn't we all"
Now I'm getting pretty old, I like to think back
in the past,
Try to capture the
excitement of my lost youth,
While sitting by the fire on my arse.
Midnight
Hour
(Pickett - Cropper)
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
When there? no one else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
Do all things I told you in the midnight hour
I?m gonna wait till the stars come out
See them twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait 'till the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine
You're the only girl I know
Really love you so in the midnight hour

(Sleepy
John Estes)
Well I've tried everything to get along with you
But I'm gonna tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm sick of all your crying, gonna leave you alone
If you don't believe I'm going
You can count the days I'm gone

Gonna leave you lovin' baby, oh some day
Well if you don't believe I'm going
Watch me leaving you this way
Won't you please, well that sun looks good going down

Won't you please, don't that sun look good going down
Won't you please, don't that sun look good going down
But don't that ol' moon look lonesome when your baby's not around
Motor
Biking
(Ray Dorset)
When the nights are light and the air is fresh
We do the things
that we like the best
Outside riding
round searching for the girls in town
Motor bike riding
round getting kicks, hanging around
Well the bikes are
shining and we're out there riding
Ain't no fighting,
we're just motor biking
We ain't bad just
folks, we're just like you
guys and girls who
do what we wanna do
Some folks like to
put us down
Just because we
get around
But we don't care
cos we live for fun
Playing hard and
riding fast that's tough
We like to party,
drink and play
We'd never have no
other way
We got friends all
over the world that's fine
No language
barriers, we've got our bikes
Mountain
Girl
(Ray Dorset)
I
had to go to the country, to work for the oil company
I
went for a drive an' she caught my eye
She
was the prettiest thing I had seen
Her
hair was as gold as the sunlight
Her
teeth were as white as fresh pearls
Her
eyes were like diamonds
Her
skin was so clear
Oh
where are you now mountain girl
CHORUS
Mountain
girl, where are you
Mountain
girl oh where can you be
I'll
keep on lookin' till my speech is through
Then
I'm takin' you back home with me
} Repeat
Well
I took her back to my hotel
We
made love that very first day
But
my boss sent a message
He
said on the phone
That
I had to get back right away
I
only had to go for one weekend
But
when I told her she cried all day
She
said she would meet me at the old hotel bar
But
she never came back there again
CHORUS
Movin'
On
(Paul King)
Got up this morning, got an aching head
Been sleepin' on the floor cause there's people in my bed
I've been sleepin' , sleepin' on the floor it's so sad
Think I'll pack up my belongings
And get myself another pad
The sun is getting hot, burning on my back
Wonder what I'm doing still searching for a flat
I should be swimming, swimming in the deep blue sea
Getting plenty of fresh air
Instead of working in a factory
Well I took my guitar and some bread and some
clothes
And I started off down the road
Kept walking all day until the sun went down
Went down, deep down, melting and sinking into the ground
The watery sky, the tears in its' eye
As it sinks through the clouds and begins to die
Got down to the coast, before the morning tide
Done one hundred miles and it only took three rides
I'm so happy just a sitting here by the sea
The only thing I'm missing
Is some female company
Rolling
in the sand, having lots of fun
Watching all the ladies just lazing in the sun
Well I got one and she had two good friends as well
Gonna buy a bottle of gin
And get them drunk as hell
Sitting on the beach drinking round by the fire
I played the guitar and sang a tune
Everybody's happy just a dancing around
Dancing around, fooling around
The blood in their vains beginning to pound
Pounding away, the night into day
The morning appears warming the ground
Sleeping on the beach and the fuzz come along
Thay said "You move, You gotta move on"
"You can't stay here just drinking that beer"
"You gotta move You gotta move on"
"Come on everybody stop a hanging around"
"You gotta move You gotta move on"
"We'll give You ten minutes and You better be gone"
"You gotta move You gotta move on"
"Come on everybody we'll a follow the sun"
We're gonna move we're gonna move on.
My
Friend
(Ray Dorset)
Well I saw that woman with the beautiful legs
Give her the eye and here's what she said
She said my freind, everybody is my friend
She said my friend come an' have a drink of me
By the embankment the river was calm
The moon shone down and she held my arm
She was my friend everybody was my friend
She said my friend come an' have a drink of me
I took her home and she kept me warm
But when I woke up all my money was gone
She was my friend everybody was my friend
She said my friend come an' have a drink of me
She was my friend ev'rybody was my friend
She was my friend an' she took ev'ry penny I had
"Yes she did"
She was my friend ev'rybody was my friend
She was my friend an' she took ev'ry penny I had

My
Girl And Me
(Ray Dorset)
Wait, till the sun goes down
then we'll go walkin', down by the see
it's been a long time, for my girl and me
Take a trip, down by the shore
throwing' stones out, across the beach
it's been a long time, for my girl and me
# Ain't no use just sittin' around
at home drinking and watching t.v.
no it ain't, oh, no, no
got to get out in the air
walk for a spell, hand in hand, just
het and me
been a long time, since the party
where we met
danced all night, just my girl and me
Well, out dog's pretty small and fluffy but
it sure run's fast when I throw the ball
up and down beach
and my girl is laughin', hair's in her eyes
and she blows me a kiss around the shore
mimes she loves me
sun's disappearing now might as well
go back home, get a car, go for a ride, yeah
Turn the key, and the engine roars
make a signal, find the gear
there's a highway, for my girl and me
Through the town, where the lights are bright
to the country, out into the night
find a quiet spot, and we make it right
# Far from the noise of the bars and
the traffic we ride, that's where we go
to look down the hills at
the sea and the valleys below
there's boats in the harbour and
people makin' their way home
Well, we stop for a while hand in hand
as we walk from the car
she kisses my sheek and tells me
she'll always be mine, yes she will
the night's nearly day as I drive
her back home to her ma.
