Red letter day Red letter day Red letter day Late at night, I drift away somewhere I'm walking on the moon, talking to you there I miss you babe, oh, I miss you In my empty room on a crowded avenue Oh, I've been rolling down the river, girl and I bump into you I miss you babe, oh, I miss you When I come home, the love is gonna last forever 'Cause deep in my heart, the loving never went away Wh...
ian hunter He's much the same as anyone - he don't do what he's told He got hostile on his school report - and he leaves his mother cold His father owned a bakery - one day they found him hanged It ain't good to be free in little italy - his son's the leader of the gang Chorus Restless youth - restless youth Restless youth - restless youth He soon found out he could not work - the money was no...
In 1935, I was living in paradise, I had a friend up in Cicero We used to go out to the track, we'd knock a few whiskeys back I'd lose my shirt and then I would lose my way home I was driving my Stutz Black Hawk through Justice in the dark When suddenly the blood froze in my veins She was standing by the road in an incandescent glow My heart stood still, my foot slammed on the brakes She said,...
Ian Hunter I don't wanna be no traitor to the cause But England is a luxury - not many can afford There's people going under - it's getting out of hand Whatever happened to our - our green and pleasant land? It turned into a wilderness; it turned into a third world country Most people ain't getting what they pay for Some people gettin' more than they should be I know, I know - I'm an alien - b...

Well, I still got your blood running through my veins Yeah, I still got your blood running through my veins And even though the circumstances change I know we never got along, the pieces would not fit And I still got the scars to show for it Was staring through the window at the rain Is it me or have all the colors changed? I was sick with jealousy, I know why you had to split And you still go...
Ohh Doctor, doctor, am I alright? I keep on stayin' up, all through the night I'm smokin', drinkin', watchin' TV 'til the light It's been a long time since I slept All I seem to think about is what I ain't get I'm seein' double, I'm seein' double Doctor, doctor, you know I'm in need Seems like there's somethin' wrong with me Underneath this stone lies a different guy My head says yeah, my body...
Where do you go when you've somewhere to run But the time isn't right and there's things to be done And you're trapped half-way up, you don't want to go back So you keep going on - compromising the lack And you see the green fields as you travel on by And you look at the things you'd forgotten to try And you wish you were young and you wish you were old For the songs always sung and the storie...
Her life gets smaller in his eyes And he wonders if he thinks he should cry Oh mother the color's gone and left your hair And he wonders if he thinks he should care She told him how to play a guitar She told him how to be a star But mother were you really there? My friend don't speak he's such a mixed up boy I wonder if she sold him his toys A kiss on the cheek a conversation decoy In his cute...
We walked to the sea, just my father and me And the dogs played around on the sand Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand? I said love's easier when it's far away We sat and watched the distant lights We're two ships that pass in the night And we smile when we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ship...

Ian Hunter Way back in the 50's - you never said a wrong word People were clean - people were mean Children should be seen, but children should be not heard You learned to keep your mouth shut - you did what you were told But then one day the radio played the sound that we'd all been waiting for The whole of our lives 'n' I still love Rock 'n' Roll - I play it every day Hummin' along, singin' ...
They say that some people never grow up Lost in time, shackled to the past for ever, stung by love Still weaving, still believing yesterday's dreams If life is real then so is my imagination All I feel is who I am? Who I am? Who I am? And if I wished so hard I bled, would you come true? All I need's a bottle and the memories come flooding back And I see you though the rain, through the rain, t...
