Rain On The Window Round about midnight I feel the chill closin’ in Living my stage fright I need the sun to begin - tomorrow Thinking ‘bout my life And all the changes she made And when she went running out All the colors fade - to midnight What a bad week I’ve had There’s rain on the window What a bad week I’m sad There’s rain on my window Will I be staying Or am I moving in Am I still standing I’ve gotta wait - she’s choosing * What a bad week I’ve had There’s rain on the window What a bad week I’m sad There’s rain on the window When the sun comes up It dries that rain on the window When the sun comes up It dries that rain on the window When the sun comes up It dries that rain on the window repeat * (written and arranged by Nazareth) copyright 1983 Fool Circle Limited all rights reserved.

Like rent -a- driver Insurance freeway You can never tell You can only drive because experience Turns the corner now See what happens when you leave it Call me baby, how our love grows Supremely simple Like baby, baby, baby You’re out of time Shine, shine shine Don’t call me shine But there’s no rhythm to your rhyme......I ran.

Rags To Riches It’s a sign of the times, standing in line Quietly waiting to go out of your mind There’s nothing to say, no reason to stay To fight for the right that they have taken away Get what you get, not what you need Time after time * Rags to riches, all fallen down Rags to riches, tied up and bound There’s no going under When you’re kicked to the ground Rags to riches..rags to riches You’re down on your knees, caught in the freeze Crying inside but there’s no easy release Radical views--in yesterday news Giving the reason with another excuse Out on your own, cut to the bone Time after time repeat * (2x) (written and arranged by Nazareth) copyright 1983 Fool Circle Limited all rights reserved. Local Still It’s three o’clock in the morning And they’re sayin’ you’ve had enough But you want another drink Good old north or southern stuff You’re a boy from way down south Folks from the old north And it’s friday night It’s party night for you King George he sent the excise men The yankee revenuers It don’t matter what they try They’ll never stop the brewin’ Because a man will take a glass To make his spirits fly On a friday night It’s party night for you They bring out laws and taxes Try to cut you down If you can’t go to the corner bar Then you’ll go underground So come on down to your local still And buy yourself a thrill On a friday night It’s party night for you * Whiskey the water of life There’s more to it than the pourin’ Oiled the reel on the fiddle bow And sent the music soarin’ My old man and his old man They knew what they were doin’ Lovin’ malt from the old land And the corn from tennessee If you’re feelin’ lowdown You don’t need no pill Come along and join the clan Support your local still You can win your bar-room blues Find that hazy delight On a friday night It’s party night for you repeat * It’s three o’clock in the morning And they’re sayin’ you’ve had enough But you want another drink Good old north or southern stuff You’re a boy from way down south Folks from the old north And it’s friday night It’s party night for you.
