Calling Elvis - is anybody
home
Calling Elvis - I'm here
all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the
phone
Calling Elvis - I'm here
all alone
Well tell him I was calling
just to wish him well
Let me leave my number
- heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby
don't be cruel
Return to sender - treat
me like a fool
Calling Elvis - is anybody
home
Calling Elvis - I'm here
all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the
phone
Calling Elvis - I'm here
all alone
Why don't you go get him
- I'm his biggest fan
You gotta tell him -
he's still the man
Long distance baby -
so far from home
Don't you think maybe
you could put him on
Well tell him I was calling
just to wish him well
Let me leave my number
- heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender - baby
don't be cruel
Return to sender - treat
me like a fool
Calling Elvis - is anybody
home
Calling Elvis - I'm here
all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the
phone
Calling Elvis - I'm here
all alone
There's gotta be a record
of you some place
You gotta be on somebody's
books
The low-down - a picture
of your face
Your injured looks
The sacred and profane
The pleasure and the
pain
Somewhere your fingerprints
remain concrete
And it's your face I'm
looking for on every street
A lady-killer - regulation
tattoo
Silver spurs on his heels
Says - what can I tell
you as I'm standing next to you
She threw herself under
my wheels
Oh it's a dangerous road
And a hazardous load
And the fireworks over
liberty explode in the heat
And it's your face I'm
looking for on every street
A three-chord symphony
crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside
down
I don't know why it is
I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
And you still refuse
to be traced
Seems to me such a waste
And every victory has
a taste that's bittersweet
And it's your face I'm
looking for on every street
If we can't get along
we oughta be apart
And I'm wondering where'd
you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free - sign my
release
I'm tired of being the
villain of the peace
You been giving me a bad
time
Tell me what I'd do
How come I always get
a hard time
Honey when it comes to
you
Sayin' things that you
didn't have to
How come I always get
a hard time
Honey when it comes to
you
You only get one life
- this I know
I wanna get my licks
in now before I go
The fire of love is dead
and cold
I gotta satisfy the hunger
in my soul
And you been giving me
a bad time
Tell me what I'd do
How come I always get
a hard time
Honey when it comes to
you
Sayin' things that you
didn't have to
How come I always get
a hard time
Honey when it comes to
you
I wonder where you are
tonight
You're probably on the
rampage somewhere
You have been known to
take delight
In gettin' in somebody's
hair
And you always had the
knack
Fade to black
I bet you already made
a pass
I see a darkened room
somewhere
You run your finger round
the rim of his glass
Run your fingers through
his hair
They scratch across his
back
Fade to black
Well maybe it's all for
the best
But I wish I'd never
been lassoed
Maybe it's some kind
of test
I wish I'd never been
tattooed
Or been to hell and back
Fade to black
Well it's a strange old
game - you learn it slow
One step forward and
it's back to go
You're standing on the
throttle
You're standing on the
breaks
In the groove 'til you
make
a mistake
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the
bug
Sometimes it all comes
together baby
Sometimes you're a fool
in love
Sometimes you're the
Louisville slugger
Sometimes you're the
ball
Sometimes it all comes
together baby
Sometimes you're going
to lose it all
You gotta know happy -
you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna
know lonely
And you're gonna know
bad
When you're rippin' and
a ridin'
And you're coming on
strong
You start slippin' and
slidin'
And it all goes wrong
because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the
bug
Sometimes it all comes
together baby
Sometimes you're a fool
in love
Sometimes you're the
Louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the
ball
Sometimes it all comes
together baby
Sometimes you're going
to lose it all
One day you got the glory
One day you got none
One day you're a diamond
And then you're a stone
Everything can change
In the blink of an eye
So let the good times
roll
Before we say goodbye,
because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the
bug
Sometimes it all comes
together baby
Sometimes you're a fool
in love
Sometimes you're the
Louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the
ball
Sometimes it all comes
together baby
Sometimes you're going
to lose it all
Will you and your friend
come around
Are you and your friend
gonna get on down
Will you and your friend
come around
Or are you and your friend
gonna let me down
If you talk to one another
I'm a hungry man
Let me know one way or
the other
So I can make my plans
Will you and your friend
come around
Are you and your friend
gonna get on down
Will you and your friend
come around
Or are you and your friend
gonna let me down
I relive the situation
Still see in in my mind
You got my imagination
Working overtime
Last time I was sober,
man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I
ever had
It took six hamburgers
and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast
just to put me right
'cos if you wanna run
cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool,
you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
My life makes perfect
sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my
major kicks
Get me in a fight I like
dirty tricks
'cos if you wanna run
cool
Yes if you wanna run
cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
My chick loves a man who's
strong
The things she'll do
to turn me on
I love the babes, don't
get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote
this song
I don't care if my liver
is hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor
says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car
won't climb this hill
I'll write a suicide
note on a hundred dollar bill
'cos if you wanna run
cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run
cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
With all the clarity of
dream
The sky so blue, the
grass so green
The rank and file and
the navy blue
The deep and strong,
the straight and true
The blue line they got
the given sign
The belts and boots marched
forward in time
The wood and the leather
the club and shield
Swept like a wave across
the battlefield
Now with all the clarity
of dream
The blood so red, the
grass so green
The gleam of spur on
the chestnut flank
The cavalry did burst
upon the ranks
Oh the iron will and the
iron hand
In England's green and
pleasant land
No music for the shameful
scene
That night they said
it had even shocked the queen
Well alas we've seen it
all before
Knights in armour, days
for yore
The same old fears and
the same old crimes
We haven't changed since
ancient times
I can see what you're
looking to find
In the smile on my face
In my peace of mind
In my state of grace
I send what I can
To the man from the ministry
He's a part of heaven's
plan
And he talks to me
Now I send what I can
to the man
With the diamond ring
He's a part of heaven's
plan
And he sure can sing
Now it's all I can afford
But the lord has sent
me eternity
It's to save the little
children
In a poor country
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
I got a ride all the
way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
All the way to paradise
Now there's nothing left
for luxuries
Nothing left to pay my
heating bill
But the good lord will
provide
I know he will
So send what you can
To the man with the diamond
ring
They're tuning in across
the land
To hear him sing
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
I got a ride all the
way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
All the way to paradise
Well this is my back yard
- my back gate
I hate to start my parties
late
Here's the party cart
- ain't that great?
That ain't the best part
baby - just wait
That a genuine weathervane
- it moves with the breeze
Portable hammock baby
- who needs trees
It's casual entertaining
- we aim to please
At my parties
Check out the shingles
- it's brand new
Excuse me while I mingle
- hi, how are you
Hey everybody - let me
give you a toast
This one's for me - the
host with the most
It's getting a trifle
colder - step inside my home
That's a brass toilet
tissue holder with its own telephone
That's a musical doorbell
- it don't ring, I ain't kiddin'
It plays America The
Beautiful and Tie A Yellow Ribbon
Boy, this punch is a trip
- it's OK in my book
Here, take a sip - maybe
a little heavy on the fruit
Ah, here comes the dip
- you may kiss the cook
Let me show you honey
- it's easy - look
You take a fork and spike
'em - say, did you try these?
So glad you like 'em
- the secret's in the cheese
It's casual entertaining
- we aim to please
At my parties
Now don't talk to me about
the polar bear
Don't talk to me about
the ozone layer
Ain't much of anything
these days, even the air
They're running out of
rhinos - what do I care?
Let's hear it for the
dolphin - let's hear it for the trees
Ain't running out of
nothing in my deep freeze
It's casual entertaining
- we aim to please
At my parties
Standin' in the corner
Of Toulouse and Dauphine
Waitin' on Marie-Ondine
I'm tryin' to place a
tune
Under a Louisiana moonbeam
On the planet of New
Orleans
In a bar they call the
Saturn
And in her eyes of green
And somethin' that she
said in a dream
Inside of my suit I got
my mojo root
And a true love figurine
For the planet of New
Orleans
New Orleans - the other
planet
With other life upon
it
And everythin' that's
shakin' in between
If you should ever land
upon it
You better know what's
on it
The planet of new orleans
Now I'm tryin' to find
my way
Through the rain and
the steam
I'm lookin' straight
ahead through the screen
And then I heard her
say
Somethin' in the limousine
'bout taking a ride across
the planet of New Orleans
If she was an ace
And I was just a jack
And the cards were never
seen
We could have been the
king and the queen
But she took me back
to her courtyard
Where magnolia perfume
screams
Behind the gates and
the granite
Of the planet of New
Orleans
How long, how long baby
How long has it been
How long you gonna keep
me wondering
How long before you see
Stallin' me was wrong
- how long
How long, how long you
gonna keep
Slappin' my hands away
How long you gonna keep
my love at bay
How long before you're
sure
My love is strong - how
long
How long, how long you
gonna keep
Tellin' me you like me
fine
How long until I'm gonna
make you mine
How long before you wake
up
And find a good man gone
- how long
