LET ME BE YOUR DOG
“Let me be your dog”
If you tell me what to do
I could do it quite well
Give detailed desires, I’d be tryin’ like hell
You could leave a little clue
I would follow it through
You got to say somethin’
If there’s anything you want me to do
Let me be the slave you can faithfully flog
Let me be your dog
I got no way a’knowin’ what show is in town
I could be your pacifier
I could be your favorite hound
Just gimme some proof, I’ll deliver in style
On a hot tin roof, I’ll be burnin’ the tiles
Let me be the friend of a friend
Of a stepmother’s brother
Of the slave you can faithfully flog
Let me be your dog
(solo)
Roll me right over, I’ll crawl and I’ll beg
Casanova rover, bitin’ your leg
‘Cos what goes around, comes around
Simple as that
You’d be doin’ yourself a favor
Cuttin’ the crap
Let me be your cross-breed, off the lead
Chasin’ my tail
I could make you feel better
Like a cheque in the mail
Like a poll-position for the closin’ down sale
Like a hog in a synagogue
Let me be your dog
Call me Rover
Let me be your dog
C’mon baby, I’ll be good
Like I know I could
Let me be your dog
Hey baby, please baby
Let me be your dog
(Rankin--Polygram songs)

CAN’T SHAKE THOSE SHAKES
Blind in my one good eye
My mind just won’t reply
Somethin’ from way down south
Kinda formin’ a dust in my mouth
Lookin’ for a place to hide
Lookin’ for a space to die
Rattlin’ like an old tin can
I’m cruisin’ like a laundry van
hot ‘n’ cold fever down to my knees
Wearin’ out all of my rosary beads
Can’t shake those shakes
Can’ t shake those shakes no more
Can’t shake those shakes
Feels like I’m dyin’ when I’m already dead
Date with my medicine man
He got the remedies I understand
Gotta find the price to pay
Gonna send me on my way
Gotta desperate need, gotta feed the fire
I got a chemical love and a burned out desire
Can’t shake those shakes
Can’t shake those shakes no more
Can’t shake those shakes, eels like i’m dyin’
When I’m already dead, I’m dead.
Don’t care for sentiment, don’t even pay my rent
Got enough bad habits to blame
Got enough of them to keep me sane
Losin’ altitude in this neighborhood
Can’t break the fall, though iI know that I should
Can’t shake those shakes

CRACK ME UP
Hello, feelin’ happy, got peace of mind?
Hello, kimosabe, won’t you be so kind
Tell all the fake facts jack, dirt n all
How long’d it take you mac, t’get the skirt to fall?
Hello Mr. backstreet president, hello, how’s it hangin’
Still shakin’ her tent? don’t it hurt, what she’s sayin’?
‘Bout you to your back, don’t it bother you at all?
You know you crack me up, really, really crack me up
Well hello, (hello) it’s a real bad line, just want the
Love of a good, good woman sometime
Sold to the man who has everything
Gold-caged madonna, sing mama, sing
Come on, get close, I forget how near
Move along now, There’s nothin’ to see round here
Can’ you care about me, like I care about me?
Don’t it bother you at all?
You know you crack me up, really, really crack me up
You crack me up, crack me up
Happy, feelin’ happy, got peace of mind?
Hello kimosabe, won’t you be so kind?
Tell all the fake facts jack, dirt n all
How long’d it take you mac, t’get the skirt to fall?
Come on, get close, I forget how near
Move along now, there’s nothin’ to see round here
Can’t you care about me, like I care about me
Don’t it bother you at all?
You know you crack me up, really, really crack me up
You crack me up, really, really, really, really, really, really
Crack me up
You know you crack me up, you crack me up.

MOVE ME
Time goes between us, and there’s no release
Silent ref’rence to defenses raised higher
Than we’ll ever need
The more we try, flame inside gets colder to the touch
Taking for granted, gets taken for granted too much
So come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong, show me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
She never asked anything of me
That I could ever be
Now we’re lyin’ in the shade
Sharpenin’ the blades of our rivalry
Untidy lies, they could never disguise
The truth behind the door
Feelin’s grow nearer, then disappear again some more
So come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong,s how me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
There can be no contention, come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong, show me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
Move me, come on.

STEAMROLLER
Here she come, right on time
Tenement mixer, givin’ the hard line
Hammerin’ down walls of steel
Permanent fixer, it’s a bad sign
She’s runnin’ right over you
Ain’t no way to control her...steamroller
Can’t figure you out, she’s big trouble
Soul-contractor, makin’ your pain pay double
Don’t wanna know, ’bout no last chance
Outa time, now you’re last year’s model
She’s crawlin’ all over you
Still you try to console her......steamroller
She’s rollin’ all over you
Try survivin’ below her
She’s rollin’ all over you
Like a head-kickin’, ass-whippin’
Steamin’-demon fast bowler......steamroller
Here she come, there you go
Boa-constrictor, takin’ it real slow
Price of fame, down to zero
She’s a run-away train, puttin’ on a real show
She’s comin’ back over you
Like a Bay City roller......steamroller
Steamroller...steamroller...steamroller

STAND BY YOUR BEDS
’m gonna keep it in the family
Gotta straighten my face
Wanna keep it in the family
Savin’ my disgrace
Like a tick-a time bomb inside a’me
Been to the mount, seen the other side
Money back, number one, guaranteed
Sole-satisfied
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds
By your beds
Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds
Y’know its nothin’ new I’m telling you
Its always been around
Its the home made milkshake
Apple pies ‘n’ lemonade
Never turned down
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds
By your beds
Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds
Gimme, gimme, gimme it alll
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds
By your beds
Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds

RIP IT UP
My head is dancin’ like a ball full of fire
Burnin’ up with the flames gettin’ higher
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like you know you really should
We never have to say a thing to one another
The band is hot ‘n’ there playing it like a mother
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like y’know you really should
Get you on the rebound, catch y’when you fall
Singin’ “Long Tall Sally”, gonna rip it up, rip it up
Sweet is drippin’ from the ceiling an’ the walls
Word is out.I hear the curtains gonna fall
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like y’know you really should
Get you on the rebound, catch y’when you fall
Singin’ “Long Tall Sally”, gonna rip it up, rip it up
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like y’know you really should
Get you on the rebound,catch y’when you fall
Singin’ “Long Tall Sally”, gonna rip it up, rip it up
Ooh, rip it up, rip it up (rip it up)
Ooh, rip it up, rip it up (rip it up,rip it up)

DEMON ALCOHOL
Hard times comin’ so the messenger said
Better guard your liquor like your own homestead
Took it under cover, then we took it underground
In temptation, we had another round
Governor came, ’bout eleven or twelve
Under so much pressure,’couldn’t help himself
Word got out to the national guard
Spread like a fire in a lumber yard
Saddle up boys,and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
Cavalry came, and we were tumblin’ dice
Wouldn’t let them in ‘cos they wouldn’t ask nice
Drank to the health of friends and foe
Thanks to the Lord, but he never did show
Second wind gone as the second wave came
Manned in command, in the president’s name
Kept at bay, kept knockin’ at the door
Couldn’t care less ‘cos we all wanted more
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
Dried up supplies ‘till the morning sun
Never realized where it all could’ve gone
List up boys, it’s plain to see
Hell is merely sobriety
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
The saddle up, boys
You better pray, boys
Saddle up, boys
You better pray, boys
Damn that demon alcohol.

YOU HAD IT COMIN’
Someone givin’ you a hard time
You got on the attack
But some never had a chance in hell
Cos you were on their back
The news spread like a holiday
‘Bout your “accident”
No roses, no wish you wells
That ain’t money well spent
I wanna know what you were thinkin
As your walls came down
Surprised eyes of your sacrifice
Or just that you’d been found
If they done to you what you could do
You’d be torn apart
You haven’t suffered quite enough boy
But it’s a start
You had it comin’, comin’ to you
You had it comin’, really had it comin’ to you
My, my, funny time don’t fly
When you got you to yourself
And your disease makes you ill at ease
Bad for your health
Then all these questions with your patient replies
Not foolin’ anyone
If not for you only strong survive,if they run
You had it comin’, comin’ to you
You had it comin’, really had it comin’ to you
Someone givin’ you a hard time
You go on the attack
Some never had a chance in hell
Cos you were on their back
If they done to you what you could do
You’d be torn apart
You haven’t suffered quite enough boy
But it’s a start
You had it comin’, comin’ to you
You had it comin’, really had it comin’ to you

BRING IT ON HOME TO MAMA
She knows all about me
She knows all my felonies
She got the moves to-a-make me tremble
She’s got me on my knees
She’s got life-time guarantees
‘Ain’t got no time for my innuendos
I don’t mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump ‘n’ grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
She say I’m to blame
She say men are all the same
She got the signed, sealed, testimony
She knows a woman’s place
She knows where to rest her case
She got her mind on alimony
I don’t mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump ‘n’ grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
Hey, baby, bring it on home to mama
Hey, hay-makin’ baby, bring it on home to mama
She wears a heart of gold
Says her needs are many fold
I got no reason or need to doubt it
She knows she leads the dance
She knows how t’wear those pants
She got the full metal matching outfit
I don’t mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump ‘n’ grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
I don’t mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump ‘n’ grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
You can go blind, gimme what’s mine
If y’wanna keep this love alive, (keep this love alive)
Bring it on home to mama
Don’t talk back, just get another kick-back
This ain’t no jive, (this ain’t no jive!)
Bring it on home to mama
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home to mama
Bring it on home!

BURNING DOWN
If it takes them so long
So long to say yes
Why don’t they just say no?
They don’t need anyone to be put to the test
Why don’t they let us go
Livin’ for the right to be, livin’ for the right
Livin’ for the right to be, livin’ for the right
Livin’ for the right to be free
We needed a plan, we needed defenses
We couldn’t raise a smile
As the world looked on, they raided our senses
There can be no reconcile
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
There was a time before life was taken for granted
‘Will never come again
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted
They put it all to flame
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
Livin’ for the right to be, livin’ for the right
Livin’ for the right to be, livin’ for the right
Livin’ for the right to be free
Livin’ for the right to be, livin’ for the right
Livin’ for the right to be, livin’ for the right
Livin’ for the right to be free
Burning down, burning down , burning down , burning down
