'Blues and Sympathy', from my Santa Cruz record. youtu.be/YTA1y4jRKXs?si=ubh_…

'Blues and Sympathy' is from my Santa Cruz record. Well, I’m easy and I’m lean I’m just a little bit obscene That’s what you tell me since you got your hooks in me You may love me in good time But I can read between your lines You better walk your black heart away from me I’ve got a five-foot-two disease Use my blues and sympathy You better walk your black heart away from me You’ve got me knocking at your door You’ve got me crawling across your floor That’s all I’m good for since you got your hooks in me Ain’t no angels left to pray In this paradise we made You better walk your black heart away from me I’ve got a five-foot-two disease Use my blues and sympathy You better walk your black heart away from me You used to call me on the telephone Just to relieve your night alone Well, don’t mistake me for your high society I went from London to LA Broke some hearts along the way But your black heart won’t make a bad man out of me Well, I'm easy and I'm lean In these old boots and blue jeans

'Clean', from the Santa Cruz record. youtu.be/cOmW7Y9bKJ0?si=htX-…

'Clean', from the Santa Cruz record. Lover, your love's a disease Lately, you're hard to believe Sweetly, you bring me to my knees You better come on to me You better come on to me You better be straight with me I said, you better come clean You better be straight with me I said, you better come clean Rock Lover, you give me release Lately, am I to concede I'm just a diamond deep in your den of thieves? You better come on to me You better come on to me You better be straight with me I said, you better come clean You better be straight with me I said, you better come clean Rock

'Got It All Wrong', from my latest record, Santa Cruz. Under my window, the young ones run so Alive and so out of breath Behind my desire, a five-fisted liar While I drive to find it yet And while you've got it all, my heart screaming, no No, no, no, you don't belong While you've got it all, you've got it all wrong You hold me tighter than the devil, in case I slip away, well, I was true in the first place You say it's natural to adore me this way While you make me break And still, on and on, the impulse is strong To walk you right out the door And life, in the end, as fate would depend Comes down to who's loving more

'Ideology', from my latest record, Santa Cruz. youtu.be/uVcJZrYVQOA?si=JqRe…

This is 'Ideology', from my latest record, Santa Cruz. Tell me all about it again Theory of implausible men You call me a dog, call me a dog, call me a dog Is this your ideology? Curse me when I wrinkle your dress Your kitchen is a terrible mess You call me a dog, call me a dog, call me a dog Is this your ideology? I throw my hands out, it's up to you One bird in my hand and One bird in the bush make two Don't know, mama, how you do Those crazy things you do Deny your reprehensible fight I'm earning my angel wings tonight You call me a dog, call me a dog, call me a dog Is this your ideology? Intent is pure where motive is spare Is all in love and war so unfair? I may be a dog, may be a dog, may be a dog Take my sincere apology I'm driving fast in my car Speeding to wherever you are No matter how near or far We'll shine again like the star you are
