Jet Set

I was a young boy, it was a big big world
I had a motorbike, I chased the red-headed girls
My life was simple then, can I be a man like my father, my father can?
Lived at mom & dad's, I guess it wasn't so bad
Learned electric guitar, dreamed of far away land
Jimmy P and Plant, one day I'll have my own band
Then my neighbour, my neighbour said
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
I bought a plane ticket to the North-East coast
Of Australia, to get far from home
Wasn't far enough to get me out of my head
Goddamn this safety net
I sailed across the sea, to get a fear of the free
Crossed a desert plain, to feel a real pain
Broke a lot of hearts, and slept out in the rain
Dreaming of what my neighbour said
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
Don't come back 'till you understand
Don't come back 'till you understand
Don't come back 'till you understand
Whyyyyyyy?
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
I am an old man, I've done some right and some wrong
I've got my own band, I've written hundreds of songs,
Hope that my old man, he would be proud of the man that I've become
My only wish in life is that my little boy
Will live a million lives and find a fear to destroy
Just take my ad, take my ad, take my advicccccccccccceeeeeee
and do what the neighbour says
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"
"Boy, get your goddamn feet wet
Jet set, into the wilderness
See the city lights of a paradise"

All my friends are here
On this sweet sweet Saturday night
Find my Comfort, dull my pain
Even the bartender knows my name
And my family tree
Sweet surrounding me
Have you seen Miss Jackie D?
Don't you know she's damn fine company, so...
Throw your arms around me
Because it's hard times-a-comin'
Love's gonna set you free
Pick your spirits up
And raise your loving cup, well
You'll find a friend in me
All the ghosts of lovers' passed
Fly their flags at half mast
I just hope this night can last
I've been sippin' from a half-full glass
I've found my greener grass
And it make this life a gas
Holdin' on through thick and thin
Let me soak up all my sin, so…
Throw your arms around me
Because it's hard times-a-comin'
Love's gonna set you free,
Pick your spirits up
And raise your loving cup, well
You'll find a friend in me
Last call bell, they're all wishin' me well
And I ain't ready to howl at the moon
Streets are empty, and I'm walking on my own
Got a call on the telephone
They say, "Why don't you come on home
You don't have to alone (no you don't, no)
Come sing a sweet sweet song.
Such damn fine company, you can't go wrong, so...
Throw your arms around me
Because it's hard times-a-comin'
Love's gonna set you free
Pick your spirits up
And raise your loving cup, well
You'll find a friend in me
Ohhh, you'll find a friend in me.
Ohhh, you'll find a friend in me.

Ba da da da (sweet thing)
Ba da da da (sweet thing)
So sweet to the touch, I love you so (ba da da da)
Keep singing to me, I want to hear you say "ba da da da"
Black and white, lonely night
You've got the key and I've got the fight
Ohhh, sweet thing
It's gonna happen today
They're gonna sing what we play
You're gonna take me away
Ohhh, 'cause you're my sweet thing
Ba da da da (sweet thing)

When I plug you in, it makes me wanna ba da da da
Who's turning you on and playing, ba da da da
Black and white, lonely night
You've got the key and I've got the fight
Ohhh, sweet thing
It's gonna happen today
They're gonna sing what we play
You're gonna take me away
Ohhh, 'cause you're my sweet thing
You are my, you are my, you are my sweet thing
You are my, you are my, you are my sweet thing
You are my, you are my, you are my sweet thing
You are my, you are my, you are my sweet thing
Black and white, lonely night
You've got the key and I've got the fight
Ohhh, sweet thing
It's gonna happen today
They're gonna sing what we play
You're gonna take me away
It's gonna happen today
They're gonna sing what we play
You're gonna take me away
Ohhh, 'cause you're my sweet thing

Out of My Mind

Rolling up my sleeves, I feel like getting dirty
That skirt above you knees, I know it's gonna hurt me
Save me from myself, I need some help, I can't control
Here we go again
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
I just lost my mind
Body built to please, I'll make your teasing worth it
A thousand-one degrees, your shit's so hot I'm burning
Save me from myself, I need some help, I can't control
Save me from myself, I need some help, I can't control
Here we go again
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
I just lost my mind
My friend said, "I'll be there for you."
Then turned his back, "I want her too!"
I swear they make me crazy
Save me from myself, I need some help, I can't control
Save me from myself, I need some help, I can't control
Here we go again
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
I just lost my
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
Out of my mind, I'm out of my mind
It's always your kind that makes me lose my
I just lost my...mind

Fool
03:02

When the stars are broken,
Pieces of you scattered 'cross a lifetime of distant memories
And you cling to them like oxygen, breathin' in,
Trying to forge a brand new history
And I know I'm not the only one,
Who thinks that I have seen the dark side of the sun
We're coming undone
Won't you take me for a fool?
Won't you take me for a ride?
Won't you take me for everything I have?
When the world comes crashing down on me, I sing the blues
It's nice to see the bottom of the sea
And I don't need no sympathy, don't bleed for me,
Just cure me with a drop of melody
And I know I'm not the only one,
Who thinks that I have seen the dark side of the sun
We're coming undone
Won't you take me for a fool?
Won't you take me for a ride?
Won't you take me for everything I have?
Won't you take me for a fool?
Won't you take me for a ride?
Won't you take me for a fool?
Won't you take me for a ride?
Won't you take me for a fool?
Won't you take me for a ride?
Won't you take me for a fool?
Won't you take me for a ride?
Won't you take me for everything I have?
