BLUES ON THE ROAD She walks like the wind and prays to the moon She smiles and I feel the pain has gone But in dreams she will fade In a moment too soon I know it’s time for moving on When there’s blues on the road I won’t be hanging round this town with blues on the road gonna lay my burden down The book spoke of gold treasure in the earth Was a true, or a spectre from the past? Do I chase the sun or follow the stars To find a new heaven that will last? When there’s blues on the road etc `Soul has an eye A silent word that lives in the heat of the breast and time’s like a rock as black as the tide I can’t sleep tonight There’s no rest When there’s blues on the road etc A voice on the breeze Danced through my ear a spell to cast and gather in the sheaves With dust on the road and nothing left to fear The harvest must be followed, so I leave When there’s blues on the road etc.

STEAMY ANGELS © 1997 Chris Gibbons & Debbie Knights The sweetest thing I ever seen was steamy angels in my dreams Outahope, seems like I’m hanging on a rope waiting for someone to set me free it’s those Steamy angels coming’ after me VSE 1 Now when you’re feeling life has left you out in the cold with tears in your eyes those steamy angels make your temperature rise And when you lost the plot you need what the angels got with the sweetest affection they will lead you in the right direction CHOS ‘cos the sweetest thing VSE 2 Out of the blue They will come to you with love’s compassion, they’ll bring you heaven’s medication CHOS ‘cos the sweetest thing

HOMES FOR CASH CHRIS GIBBONS . MAY 2001 Billy was a cowboy Suzie was a drag As they headed into Arizona Past the county flag High on some tomorrow and hidden in the haze They saw a sign up on the hill The first they’d seen in days “I’ll buy your home for cash, dear Billy, and I’ll take Suzie too There’s a cowboy dance across the town where you can do the boogaloo!” “Get a little closer babe, the sun it hurts my eyes The whiskey’s low and I’m feelin’ lonesome, I think I’m gonna cry”. “Hold on now” says Suzie, “I think I have a plan; there’s a man ahead who lost his bead while playing kick the can” He said; “ I’ll buy your home for cash dear Billy if your heading outa town The cactus’ high in the summer sky , so I’ll lay my money down”. “I’ll buy your home for cash, dear Billy, and I’ll take Suzie too There’s a cowboy dance across the town where you can do the boogaloo!”

My Oh My 04:02
MY O MY My O My how we try to get by when life gets in the way hearts cry when the crow flies at the breaking of another day I just can’t forget it, how sweet she came to me I just won’t regret it, somethings are meant to be Stay with me or leaving, somehow it’s all the same memories stay with me riding thru the rain My O My etc I fight against resistance, no one ever wants to change but each day brings persistence this heart to re arrange sometimes we just don’t get it, don’t know why we try It only hurts if we let it it only makes us cry My O My etc

Final Stand 04:15
FINAL STAND Chris Gibbons, Nov. 2003 Vs 1 I know there can be no excuses now no victims, no martyrs for the cause just you and I and all the thoughts I hide As the sun sets on battle games and wars Chos. No great last words will be written in the stone no sympathy to shatter where we stand Just what I have , what I’ve carried all this time Will see me, as I make my final stand Vs 2 Poor sister Mary gathers up her flock Her prayers, too, are lost among the hills and lovers lie among the tender songs, and sing the words that drive away their ills Chos No last great words etc. Vs 3 Old Billy left his hillside as the rain came down determined to find his long lost bride he knows she’ll come when the preacher starts his song and locked in love they will abide Chos No last great words etc.
