Everyday I get up and pray to Jah And he increases the number of clocks By exactly one Everybody's coming home for lunch these days Last night there were skinheads on my lawn Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Some people say bowling alleys got big lanes (Got big lanes) (Got big lanes) Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same (Look the same) (Look the same) There's not a line that goes here That rhymes with anything (Anything) (Anything) Had a dream last night But I forget what it was (What it was) (What it was) Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Had a dream last night About you my friend Had a dream I wanted to sleep next to plastic Had a dream I wanted to lick your knees Had a dream It was about nothing Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling Take the skinheads bowling Take them bowling

Femme Fatale 03:03
Here she comes, you better watch your step She's going to break your heart in two, it's true It's not hard to realize, just look into her false colored eyes She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown 'Cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale) The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (she's a femme fatale) See the way she walks, hear the way she talks You're put down in her book, you're number 37, have a look She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown Little boy, she's from the street before you start, you're already beat She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true 'Cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale) The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (she's a femme fatale) See the way she walks, hear the way she talks 'Cause everybody knows (she's a femme fatale) The things she does to please (she's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (she's a femme fatale) Oh-oh-oh, she's a femme fatale, oh-oh-oh, she's a femme fatale Oh-oh-oh, she's a femme fatale

On The Beach 04:16
(Guitar Intro/Verse riff in G Major) First Verse Saw her back in 1992 Her eyes were so painfully blue So beautiful I don’t know what to do Saw that crest and away she flew (Saw her hit that crest and just flew) First Chorus There are some things you can’t keep (Somethings you cannot keep) Some things like the way you speak Some things that you never, never, never, never reach On the beach [Brief Guitar Solo – over verse riff] Second Verse Took the short board right to the beach 20 feet away, a million miles out of my reach Blond beach goddess, 30 years out of reach In my mind, there’s certain things you can’t speak. Second Chorus There are some things you can’t keep (Somethings you can’t keep) Some things like the way you speak (Crashing blue – empty sleep) Some things you never, never, never, never reach (String of broken hearts and the sea) On the beach [Guitar Solo – over a full verse and chorus] [Band jams out over verse fade out]

[Verse 1] When I was a young boy, my mama said to me: "There's only one girl in the world for you, and she probably lives in Tahiti" I'd go the whole wide world, I'd go the whole wide world, just to find her Or maybe she's in the Bahamas, where the Caribbean Sea is blue Weeping in a tropical, moonlit night because nobody's told about you [Chorus] I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, just to find her! I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, to find out where they hide her! I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, just to find her! [Verse 2] Why am I hangin' around in the rain out here, tryin' to pick up a girl? Why are my eyes fillin' up with these lonely tears, when there's girls all over the world? Or is she lyin' on a tropical beach somewhere, underneath the tropical sun? Hiding away in a heat-wave there, hoping that I won't be long I should be lyin' on that sun-soaked beach with her, caressing her warm, brown skin And at the end of the year, or maybe not quite, we'll be sharing the same next-of-kin [Chorus] I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, just to find her! I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, to find out where they hide her! I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, just to find her! I'd go the whole wide world! I'd go the whole wide world, to find out where they hide her!

(Intro in "D") First Verse Fly away…to the stars…All the way to Venus and Mars All the way to the strip club bars…Nobody knows where you are Sail beyond where the headlights meet…Cars flash down to the city streets Chorus/Bridge Take my hand…we’ll go round and round Down the boardwalk and then we’ll head uptown Seen your face…oh about a thousand times Looking forward…never look behind (Back to Intro) Second Verse I used to ride the great white horse Till Mother America threw me off I can tell you every person I’ve been Every single thing these eyes have seen Chorus/Bridge Take my heart…we’ll go round and round Down the boardwalk and then we’ll head uptown Seen your face…oh about a thousand times Looking forward…never look behind (Back to Intro) [GUITAR SOLO – over verse pattern] Chorus/Bridge Take my heart…we’ll go round and round Down the boardwalk and then we’ll head uptown Seen your face…oh about a thousand times Looking forward…never look behind (Back to Intro – then end)
