Ain’t No Way
Verse
Ain’t no way
You’re coming back to me
Ain’t no way
This ain’t supposed to be
Ain’t no way …………
We’re happy families
Ain’t no way …………
I’ve gone and changed the keys
You’ve got to try and get by
what you’re feeling
All the time
while the other one is giving
Ain’t no way …………
We’re happy families
Ain’t no way …………
Ain’t no way …………
Ain’t no way …………
This ain’t supposed to be
Ain’t No Way

Raise That Lantern
Black Sorrows
I can't hold out ………….
here much longer ………….
Over you over me
Roll that load over me
I can't hold out here much longer
The storm won't ever break, those lights won't ever shine
I've been nailed up, shown no mercy
There's a curse upon this land, honey I'm dyin' on the vine
Raise that lantern, keep it bright
Hold it close so I can see
Sleep in tears by yourself tonight
Roll that load over me
I've been sold out, held to ransom
Thrown into the wind so I know which way it blows
I've been locked out, shown no pity
In a faithless town you're gonna reap what you sow
Over you, over me, roll that load over me
Over you, over me, roll that load over me
Over you, over me, roll that load over me
Over you, over me, roll that load over me
Raise That Lantern
Black Sorrows

After Midnight
Eric Clapton
After midnight, We gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, We gonna chugalug and shout
Gonna stimulate some action, We gonna get some satisfaction
We gonna find out what it is all about
After midnight, We gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, We gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, It’s all gonna be peaches & cream
Gonna cause talk and suspicion, We gonna give an exhibition
We gonna find out what it is all about
After midnight, We gonna let it all hang down,

I Can Help
Billy Swan
If you've got a problem, I don't care what it is
If you need a hand, I can assure you this
I can help, I've got two strong arms, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help
It's a fact that people get lonely, ain't nothing new
But a woman like you, baby, should never have the blues
Let me help, I've got two for me, let me help
It would sure do me good to do you good
Let me help
When I go to sleep at night, you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I want to hear
Don't forget me, baby, all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all
Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good, let me help
When I go to sleep at night, you're always a part of my dream
Holding me tight and telling me everything I want to hear
Don't forget me, baby, all you gotta do is call
You know how I feel about you, if I can do anything at all
Let me help, if your child needs a daddy, I can help
It would sure do me good to do you good, let me help
