Beg Steal or Borrow

So your home town's bringing you down
Are you drowning in the small talk and the chatter?
Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done
Punching the time and climbing life's long ladder?
You've been howling at the moon like a slack-jawed fool
And breaking every rule they can throw on
But one of these days, it's gonna be right soon
You'll find your legs and go and stay gone
Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
You beg, steal, you borrow
You beg, you steal, you borrow
Well, all the friends that you knew in school
They used to be so cool, now they just bore you
Well, look at 'em now, already pulling the plow
So quick to take to grain, like some old mule
Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
You beg, steal, you borrow
You beg, you steal, you borrow
Dreaming of the day you're gonna pack your bags
Put the miles away
Oh, just grab your girl and go where no one knows you
What will all the old folks say?
So the home town's bringing you down
Are you drowning in the small talk and the chatter?
Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done
Punching the time and climbing life's long ladder?
Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
You beg, steal, you borrow
You beg, you steal, you borrow

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you, ooh-ooh
Won't you tell your dad, "Get off my back"
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock and Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you, ooh-ooh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's no, well, I can go
I won't make you, ooh-ooh

Don't You Worry

When life gives you trouble, and you don’t know what to do
Hands you a problem, and you haven’t got a clue
Don’t you worry hard my dear
Cause someone’s there, to help you through
When you feel the time is slipping, and you haven’t found your way
Lost your only purpose and somehow, you’ve gone astray
Don’t you worry hard my dear
Cause everything will be okay
Ohhhhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh
Blurry eyes and worry lines that streak across your face
They all claim they know you, but they don’t know what you face
Don’t you worry hard my dear
You’ll move along at your own pace
Summertime and nursery rhymes that help you fall asleep
You’re lost inside your head again, you struggle counting sheep
Don’t you worry hard my dear
The morning sun will bring you peace
(Ohhhhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh) x2
(Ohhhhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh) x2

Nothing's Gonna Happen

How can I rearrange
And put it on the page
When the enemy's at the door?
And there's nothing you can do
They've never seen before
And everybody knows
Nothing's gonna happen
With your back against the door
Could I be the only one still waiting?
I can wait some more
Tell me what happens
Will I be okay?
I can see a fire from a mile away
'Cause nothing's gonna happen
With your back against the door
If I could reach you now
I'd say that I am proud
With everything you've done
And the wonderful man
I know you have become
'Cause maybe you don't know
Nothing's gonna happen
With your back against the door
Could I be the only one still waiting?
I can wait some more
Tell me what happens
Will I be okay?
Tell me that you'll love me
When you're miles away
Nothing's gonna happen
With your back against the door
Loneliness is on the dawn
Loving is a lie
I saw it on the sign
It's a line to drag you in
It's false advertising
And no one wants to see
Nothing's gonna happen
With your back against the door
Could I be the only one still waiting?
I can wait some more
Tell me what happens
Will I be okay?
I can see a fire from a mile away
'Cause nothing's gonna happen
With your back against the door

Light Enough to Travel

Wound up drunk again on Robson St.
Strange, 'cause we always agreed
At the start of every evening
That's the last place I wanna be
Coffee drinkers dressed in black with no sugar
They don't give me no respect
They say: "Look, here comes another one,"
And I don't know what they mean yet
And I say
Keep it light enough to travel
Don't let it all unravel
Keep it light enough to travel
Promise me we won't go into the nightclub
I feel so fucked up when I'm in there
Can't tell the bouncers from the customers
And I don't know which ones I prefer
Promise me we won't go into the nightclub
I really think that it's obscene
What kind of people go to meet people
Someplace they can't be heard or seen?
Keep it light enough to travel
Don't let it all unravel
Keep it light enough to travel
Keep it light enough
Light enough ohhh
Keep it light enough
Light enough ohhh
Keep it light enough
Light enough oh
Keep it light enough
Light enough oh

Breakin' in Two

Don’t you know my hands are shakin’
My heart keeps breakin’ in two
Can’t you see my soul is achin’
I can’t stop, thinking about you
Cause I want you, if you want me
Cause I want you, if you want me
Hello, how you been?
Didn’t see you there
Were you coming in?
I’ve been sleepwalkin’, falling out of bed
Spilled my coffee, bumped my head
Down the driveway, down the street
‘Cross the boulevard, of my dreams
I’ve been sleepwalkin’, falling out of bed
Can’t get you out of my head
Don’t you know my hands are shakin’
My heart keeps breakin’ in two
Can’t you see my soul is achin’
I can’t stop, thinking about you
Cause I want you, if you want me
Cause I want you, if you want me
Hello, how you been?
I’ve been, sleepwalkin’
I’ve been sleepwalkin’
Didn’t see you there
Were you coming in?
Take a seat baby, let’s go for a spin
Down the driveway, down the street
‘Cross the boulevard, of my dreams
I’ve been sleepwalkin’
Sleepwalkin’
I’ve been sleepwalkin’
Don’t you know my hands are shakin’
My heart keeps breakin’ in two
Can’t you see my soul is achin’
I can’t stop, thinking about you
Cause I want you, if you want me
Cause I want you, if you want me
OUTRO
Cause I want you
