1. Cannonball
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

Woke up this morning with a light in my head
Hard wired to the mains was it something I said
You give me all the good things that a man can hold
Well I'm a real live wire and I don't know

Too many questions going round in my brain
Too much talking drive a man insane
Shut up shut up oh what the heck
Swingin' the lead right off a the deck

Going down watch me fall
Deeper down cannonball
Going down I'm gonna break my neck
Going down like a
C C C C Cannonball

You told me on a Monday I'm driving you mad
Told me on a Tuesday I'm the best you had
Told me on a Wednesday well it was love
Told me on a Thursday you'd had enough

I got a problem that I can't shake
I got a shackle that I can't break
I got a question that I don't dare ask
Sliding out the window by the seat of my ass

Going down watch me fall
Deeper down cannonball
Going down gonna break my neck
Going down like a
C C C C Cannonball

Woke up this morning with a light in my head
Hard wired to the mains well I must've been dead
You giving me a headache that I can't cure
And I'm bangin' off the walls and the ceiling and the floor

Shut up shut up going round in my brain
Too much talking drive a man insane
You know I really need a panacea for my ills
i gotta gotta gotta gotta.......

Going down watch me fall
Deeper down cannonball
Going down gonna break my neck
Going down like a
C C C C Cannonball
2. Rocky Road
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

Born and raised by Liffeyside,
But never settled down,
Took me axe upon me back,
And wandered town to town,
With a liking for the women,
The gargle and the crack,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin

Set me sails for foreign shores
The fortune and the fame
Headaches and strong alcohol
The powders and the dames
Picked up all the lingo
Pure cockney and forked tongue
On the Rocky Road from Dublin

Hey, enough of your shite
Buy me another pint
Hey, i'm dyin' of thirst tonight
Hey, what'd you say
You haven't got a clue,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin

Could've been diggin' ditches
Or carryin' the hod
Down tunnels or on bridges
Far from the eye of God
Me I'm sitting pretty
Playing my guitar
On the Rocky Road from Dublin

Oh mother dear I'm over here
And I'm not coming back
What keeps me here is the price of beer
The women and the crack
To tell the truth oul' england
Damn near has me whacked
On the Rocky Road from Dublin

Hey, enough of your shite
Buy me another pint
Hey, i'm dyin' of thirst tonight
Hey, what'd you say
You haven't got a clue,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin

Rollin' down the glen
At half a million miles an hour
Just about to hit the ground
No wheels on the car
I hope God loves the Irish
Or there's no way i'll be moved,
From the Rocky Road from Dublin

Hey, enough of your shite
Buy me another pint
Hey, i'm gaggin' of thirst tonight
Hey, what'd you say
You haven't got a clue,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
3. Bitter & Twisted
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

Jump in my car
Gotta get away
From the scene of the crime
Down the lost highway

Wheel keep rolling
Spinning round
I can't breath
Till I get out of this town

The rights and the wrongs
Have all been listed
I don't want to end up
Bitter & twisted

Too much too soon
Too little too late
Left me in
In a hopeless state

One too many drinks
And one too many lies
About how we lived
And why it died

The rights and the wrongs
Have all been listed
I don't want to end up
Bitter & twisted

But I got the pounding
In my brain
I'm bitter and twisted again

Spit out my hate
Lets talk about love
Leave this behind
We can rise above
But I got the blood lust
Pounding in my veins
I'm bitter and twisted again

Sweet Jesus and Buddha
Guide me on my way
I can't find
Your path today
Cause I got the blood lust
Driving me insane
I'm bitter and twisted again
4. Can't Beat Rock'n'Roll
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

You can bang your head
Until you're dead
Stick your mullet in the bass bin
Realise the space you're in
Livin' in a rabbit hutch
Didn't like it all that much
With the opium television
To take the place of your religion

But you can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll
No you can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll

Questions in the mosh pit
What do their lordships think of it
Better check inside a magazine
To see if its gonna make the scene
Just try to express yourself
You can't be no-one else
Buy the bullet shoot the gun
Cause all we need is fun boy fun

And you can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll
No you can't beat, you can't beat rock

You banged your head
So now you're dead
Take your brain out of the bass bin
Look at the sad state its in
Back home to your rabbit hutch
Didn't cost you all that much
With the opium television
To take the place of your religion

And you can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll
No you can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll
You can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll
You can't beat, you can't beat rock'n'roll

And that's all.

5. Down To Here
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

Wash the words
Right off your face
I'm coming down
And I need some landing space

Too much confusion
To make sense anymore
The truth and lies
Just rolled right out the door

And I been high
Above the ground
What goes up
Must come down
And I been high
All things must end
Flew too close to heaven
Coming down to here again

All my days
Waiting for the sun
Drowsy days
When the sun don't come

Petals from roses
Rain down from on high
Into beds of roses
Always passed me by

And I been high
Above the ground
What goes up
Soon comes down
And I been high
All things must end
Flew too close to heaven
Coming down to here again

Wash the words
Right off your face
I'm coming down
And I need some landing space
6. No Justice
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

How long how long
Must we try
While our users and leaders and elders and wisers
just feed us lies

How long how long
Must we wait
While our elders and betters just suck us and bleed us
They're all on the take


Got to bite the hand that feeds
Cause it don't give us what we need

Ain't no justice
That you get down here
You can do what you like you can scream you can cry
But the message is clear

Tell me tell me
What went wrong
Gave 'em enough rope and the used it to choke us
Its been much too long

Tell me tell me
Why should we wait
Our masters are bastards that feed us with lies
And they're all on the take

Got to bite the hand that feeds
Cause it don't give us what we need

Ain't no justice
That you get down here
You can do what you like you can scream you can cry
But the message is clear

Tell me tell me
What went wrong
They put us on hold and said do what you're told
And its been much too long

Tell me tell me
Why should we wait
Fuck the procedures lets chop 'em to pieces
And throw 'em away

Ain't no justice
That you get down here
You can do what you like you can scream you can cry
But the message is clear
7. Miss The Buzz
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

Gonna buy me a magic airplane
Get the keys and jump inside
Take it straight on down to your house
If you say "wow" maybe we can start to fly

Maybe grow up be a politician
Break the rules and change the score
Feed the world on rock'n'roll and
Love and peace and put an end to war

On the way back home from your house
Trying to catch the buzz
Tell me why it always rains when
I'm thinking about us

Gonna buy me some brand new shades and
Knock 'em out as I roll by
Leave 'em rocking in the aisles
Kill 'em dead I won't have to try

Got busted by the local fuzz with
Banana skins for the kid next door
Paid my dues and I done my time
But if you want to stay high you're gonna need so much more

On the way back home from your house
Always miss the buzz
Tell me why it always rains when
I'm dreaming about us
8. Longer Than Tomorrow
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

Sun red sun beating down
On the desert waste
While the world is turning round
And I'm losing my way

How long must we run
Under this sun red sun
Until all time has passed
And we're free at last

And I will wait for you past tomorrow
And I will wait past the break of day
Longer than tomorrow

What you reap and what you sow
Lost in the mist of all you know
Make no sense of what I see
What should never be

And I will wait for you past tomorrow
And I will wait past the break of day
Longer than tomorrow

Days may come and days may go
Washed away with all you know
This bird whistles that bird sings
While time's bell still rings

What you reap and what you sow
Washed away in the river flow
While the pawns just stand and wait
No gods left to play

Longer than tomorrow
9. Summerland
(Words and music Torme/McCoy MCPS/Ceedee Music Copyright 2006 All Rights Reserved)

In the summerland
When the world was young
We'd sing and play and waste the day
Till the next one come

Then the skies grew dark
The clouds appeared
And all my good friends flew away
Left me standing here

If I could fly
Like the angels do
I'd be long gone out of here
Looking back at you

Or jump a dragon ship
Take the sea road
Child of man born to cry
Carrying the blood feud load

Wash away the filth around me
Make me clean
Oh its been so long
Spring it came and went
And now the fields are gleaned
Summer's almost gone

And the world grew old
But I stayed young
It wore my face down tore my heart
And cracked my tongue

So what you gonna do
Just stand alone
Waiting for the hammer blow
That breaks your bones
