A Million Miles Away
(1973)
Irish Tour '74
This hotel bar is full of people, the piano man is really laying it down
The old bartender is a high as a steeple, so why tonight should I wear a frown? (Yes, I'm a...)
Million miles away, I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Why ask how I feel how does it look to you?
I feel hook, line and sinker, I lost my captain and my crew
I'm standing on the landing, there's no one there but me
That's where you'll find me, looking out on the deep blue sea
This hotel bar is full of people, the piano man is really laying it down
The old bartender is a high as steeple, so why tonight should I wear a frown?
The joint is jumping all around me and my mood is really not in style
Right now the blues want to surround me but I'll break out after a while
Well, I'm a million miles away, I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Why ask how I feel, well, how does it look to you?
I feel hook line and sinker, I lost my captain and my crew
I'm standing on the landing and there's no one there but me
That's where you'll find me, looking out on the deep blue see
There's a song on the lips of everybody, there's a smile all around the room
There's conversation overflowing, so why must I sit here in the gloom?
This hotel bar lost all its people, the piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender is asleep in the corner, so why must I still be here, I don't know
Well, I'm a million miles away, I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay
Bad Penny
(1979)
Top Priority
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell
Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold
Well, it can't ever be like it was then
Well, don't you fool with me, baby
Don't you mess with my plans
Some stormy nights, your memory haunts me, you won't go away
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame
I think you know I'm still sore, but I'm on the mend
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again
Well, like a bad penny spins around and around
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way
Some lonely nights, I hear you calling
Won't you go away?
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell
Calling Card
(1976)
Calling Card
Well the rain ain't fussy 'bout where it lands
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand
It's gonna rain brother and it's gonna rain hard
When the blues come calling with his calling card
It ain't too funny when you'd rather die
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply
To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears
About feeling so bad for a million years
Watch out brother, be alert
Whatever you do, don't show that hurt, don't show that hurt
It ain't so funny when you'd rather die
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply
To your love-sick letter that you wrote in tears
About feeling so bad for a million years
I've been so subjected, I've been so distresses
Come back baby, to clean up this mess, clean up this mess
It ain't too funny when you'd rather die
Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply
To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears
About feeling so bad for a million years
Well the rain ain't fussy 'bout where it falls
It rains on one just like it rains on all
But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard
When the blues come calling with his calling card
Watch out brother, be alert
Whatever you do, don't show that hurt, don't show that hurt
Continental Op
(1988)
Defender
There's a body in the bay
The cops are taking it away
They said this case was closed
It only shows that you never know
So who are they going to get when the trouble's got to stop
Here's my card I'm the continental op
Jane Doe in the bay, now that's exhibit "A"
Bloodstains on the dress, of the millionaires
But I saw you leaving town, I'm gonna have to track you down
You've slipped through the web and you might have dodged the feds
But who are they going to get when you've outfoxed the cops
Here's my number I'm the continental op
I'm the continental op
Call the agency, we never close
First consultation is free
Check my reputation, check my pose
But first you ought to check my fee
There's a menace on the streets, offering infants' sweets
Don't give this man a ride, lock your car from the inside
He's suspect No. 1, but I guess his race is run
He left a set of prints, he's not so smart as he thinks
'Cause who are they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops
Here's my card I'm the continental op
'Cause who are they gonna get when you've outfoxed the cops
Here's my badge I'm the continental op
Country Mile
(1976)
Calling Card
Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge
Did you hear what I said?
Born in a house with no slates
But I wouldn't switch
I didn't have a stitch
Always been out on a limb
I've been hard to mend
Like a kick in the shins
You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile
Born on the green light, a mission to move
Something to prove, an itch in my shoes
I heard then wail of a train
From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back
Well the engineer threw the switch
And it got to my brain, I've never been the same
You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile
Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust
Grease my heels
Out race the bus
Don't blink your eyes
Or you won't see me again
Born a spoke of the wheel
Not a part of the set and I'm running yet
I ran before I could walk
The price of the fare was hardly ever there
Saw an eight wheeler move
And I couldn't choose
I just had to cruise
You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile
Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge
Did you hear what I said
Born in a house with no slates
But I wouldn't switch
I didn't have a stitch
Always been out on a limb
I've been hard to mend
Like a kick in the shins
You'll only see me smile
When I eat up a country mile
Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust
Grease my heels
Out race the bus
Don't blink your eyes
Or you won't see me again
Crest Of A Wave
(1971)
Deuce
Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg
Or a poor man much to proud to beg
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all
Well you can see by the way that they are talking
That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking
'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying
Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and
don't turn around and wave goodbye at all
They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight
But I wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal
You're not around to deal , yeah
They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight
But I wonder how will you feel
With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal
You're not around to deal , yeah
You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living
But you know one thing they don't,
You won't give in
'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles
But you're gonna fail
Sometimes you just don't understand
Daughter Of The Everglades
recording of (1973)
Blueprint
Were you were raised by the river
Down in the low, low land
Where the air is dark and sinister
In the night there's no safe place to stand
In the reeds there are eyes that peek
Voices I can't understand
Flamingos flying endlessly
Into the silent sky
Daughter of the everglades
You never made it clear
Child of the river
If you wanted to be here
Daughter of the everglades
I never saw your tears
Well you looked like your mama
Before you walked, you swam
Learned to make that snake tail stew
From your daddy
Crazy talking fisherman
In this place there is no law
The river makes all the rules
What they are, I found out
When I came to look for you
Daughter of the everglades
Why did you bring me here?
Daughter of the everglades
My love has turned to fear
Daughter of the everglades
Let me feel you near
Well you laughed in the city
But I knew after a year
That you'd cry in the city
I should not have brought you here
So far from the bayou
Down in the low, low land
Don't know why you left me
But now I think I understand
Doing Time
(1988)
Defender
I'm breaking rocks and I'm doing time
She's on the streets with a friend of mine
I drove the car I took the fall
I walk the cell at night I cry ‘til dawn
At night I cry ‘til dawn
The days are long but time will pass
I'm breaking out I soon will get my change
I'm in my cell it's ten by nine
She's living it up on champagne and wine
I took the rap I have to smile
Time drags by but I'll get loose after a while
Get loose after a while
Deep in the night just like a child
I walk the cell my mind is running wild
I'm going numb from too much waiting
Until my dying day
I'll suffocate from too much hating
There'll be hell to pay
I'm gonna rot from too much waiting
'Til my dying day
My soul is bruised my heart is shaking
There'll be hell to pay
I'm digging ditches I'm breaking stones
Sewing mailbags it ain't no fun
Bread and water my life is complete
Hold my breath ‘til I'm back out on the streets
Back out on the streets
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today
Revenge is sweet or so they say
Just watch your steps I'm breaking out today

'Cause somebody's got go
Jack gave his wife two dollars
To go downtown to get some market

'Cause somebody's got go
She borrowed some money
To go to the beauty shop
She honked his horn

I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody's got go
Failsafe Day
(1988)
Defender
What I see just takes the heart from me
It's all okay they keep telling me
Somehow it feels like failsave day
You know it's almost failsave day
It's not the time now don't go sad on me
Yeah we can run the illusion is free
Let's not just throw this change away
You know it's almost failsave day
And deep inside I hear that something
Like a silent scream
And in the night I hear that rumbling
Keep on hoping that it's just a dream
Wish there was some time to buy or steal
'Cause there's this stranger in the air I breathe
Deep down it feels like failsave day
They're gonna fade us all away
Deep inside I hear that something
Like a silent scream
The voice inside just tells me one thing
Keep on hoping that it's just a dream
What I see just chrills the heart in me
It's all okay but they're not fooling me
You know it's almost failsave day
Somehow it feels like failsave day
You know it's almost failsave day
They're gonna fade it all away
Hell Cat
(1979)
Top Priority
Well there's a hellcat, loose cat, hear it wail
It can stop you down the street, you cannot get away
Well it's gonna get to you, got the demon power
You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire
You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire
Well there's a strange, strange feeling chilling your hands
A shadow in your doorway, freeze you where you stand
You play your dice with the devil, now it's much too late
Well don't you know you got a hellcat on your trail
Well don't you know you got a hellcat on your trail
The sound that haunts you from the dark will dawn
Don't go away no more when the morning comes
There's a step on the stairs, a storm in your sails
That you know you got a hellcat by the tail
Yeah, you've done and got a hellcat on your trail
Oh yeah
Well there's a hellcat, loose cat, hear it moan
Stalking your shadow all night long
It's the darkest feeling this side of hell
Well don't you know you got a hellcat by the tail
You know you've got a hellcat by the tail
Well hellcat
Well hellcat
Well hellcat
Well hellcat
I Ain't No Saint
(1988)
Defender
I ain't no saint I can't turn the other cheek
I ain't no saint Can't turn the other cheek
But you can cool my temper by the words I hear you speak
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Tell you straight from the hip
If I'm falling over, she makes the pieces fit
If I get arrested or in som legal twist
She talks to the judge and gets the case dismissed
I ain't no saint won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down here, Lord I think heaven's gonna have to wait
She don't tell me how to make a living
Don't lock her love up with a key
If I'm down my head is spinning
Don't call a doctor or a priest
I ain't no saint won't toe the party line
I ain't no saint I won't toe the party line
But you get my nomination every single time
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straiht from the hip
Believe the tallest stories if I hear it from your lips
Don't need to worry about the crazy shape I'm in
This tender magic surely gives me a thrill
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel allright down here lord
I think heaven's gonna have to wait
I Fall Apart
(1971)
Rory Gallagher
Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine that you call my heart
Oh but baby is it so hard to tell the two apart
and so slowly you unwind it 'til I fall apart
I don't mind waiting for your love for of time
I've got plenty of rain or shine
Please bring out your love make it shine like the stars above
Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine that you call my heart
Oh, but baby is it so hard to tell the two apart
and so slowly you unwind it 'til I fall apart
I'm only living for the hour that I see your face
When that happens I don't wanna be no other place
'Til the end of time you'll be on my mind
I don't mind waiting for your love,
for of time I've got plenty of
Rain or shine please bring out your love,
make it shine like the stars above
I'm only living for the moment that I hear your voice
Oh, I'm waiting
I don't have any choice and the day is long
So won't you come where you should be
Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine that you call my heart
Oh baby, is it so hard to tell the two apart
and so slowly you unwind it 'til I fall apart
In Your Town
(1972)
Live! in Europe
Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, I won't stand no messin'`round
The first man I wanna see is the Chief Police,
bring that man right over here
I wanna speak (?) my peace
I wanna 'cause no trouble, no fuzz, no fight,
but you look out man, you know this is Saturday night
The second man I wanna see is the old fire chief,
bring that man right over here
Stand him right in front of me
I wanna cause no trouble, no fuzz, no fight
see this match, I might set this place alight
So look out...
The third man I wanna see is the old D.A.,
he was the man who sent me away
Twenty two years, twenty three days, twenty four minutes
I was locked away
You come along baby, ask me where I've been,
up-the-river-holiday (?), up in Sing Sing
One cold floor, four bare walls,
that's all they gave me, nothing else at all
Sing Sing, Sing Sing, Sing Sing,
when I came out I could not feel a thing...
Now I'm back in your town,
in your town, in your town, in your town...
Jackknife Beat
(1976)
Calling Card
Shake it baby, before it shakes you
Get it baby and let it take you
Where you want it to
Don't you maybe
That just won't do
You say I'm crazy
But this music's got me feelin' good
I know it's fever
I don't need a cure
You're the doctor
I'm your patient that's for sure
I'm your patient that's for sure
Hear it baby
Sneaking on through
You'll know it baby
When that music gets inside your shoes
It's too late baby, what do you do
Hear it baby
Hear it baby
Sneaking on through
You'll know it baby
When that music gets inside your shoes
You know it's creeping up on you
Scat
We got that Jackknife beat
A killer of a back beat
Sounds like an ice truck
Rolling down a back street
Yeah, we got the whole thing going like a pneumatic drill
The guitar man's playing like he's fit to kill, oh yeah
We got that Jackknife beat
A killer of a back beat
Siphon off the syrup
Let it take a back seat
What's cooking in the kitchen has boiled to the brim
What's brewing in the basement
Is bound to over spill, oh yeah
Shake it baby, before it shakes you
Get it baby and let it take you
Where you want it to
Don't you maybe

Kickback City
(1988)
Defender
They say this town will kill you
They say this town ain't got no soul
This town could take a childs smile
And turn it into stone
But don't you think I know that
This town has cut me to the bone
Trouble crawling up your back
Fear just eats your soul
You say this town will eat you up
You say this town ain't got no heart
You try to learn all your lines
And you try to play the part
With all this double dealing
I tell you brother you get smart
Here in kickback city
You're lost before you start
People in subways look nearly half dazed to me
Renting tomorrow investing in sorrow no belief
Faces in sidestreets hiding like angels for grace
Selling you sorrow renting tomorrow you're out of place
They say this town will kill you
They say this town ain't got no soul
They'll set you up and pull the stitch
Till you unravelled on the floor
But I won't let it beat me
Though trouble's knocking in my door
Somehow it's just your smile
That keeps me coming back for more
Here in kickback city
Feel I'm going down slow
Here in kickback city
Feel I'm going down slow
Laundromat
(1971)
Rory Gallagher
What do you think of that?
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
If you should pass by be sure to drop my bag
Come 'round and meet my friends
They'll be there with me right through to the end
Right through to the end
Right through to the end
What do you think of that?
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
If you should pass you should drop my bag
But I don't have no clothes to clean,
to put inside the machine
It was the craziest place I've ever been
Oh, come around and meet my friends
They'll be there with me right through to the end
Say I told you so
Maybe bad times come and go
You don't know that right now but then you'll never know
What do you think of that
I'm on the street like an old stray cat
If you should look for me you'd know exactly where to go
Oh, come around and meet my friends
They'll be there with me, with me to the end
What do you think of that
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat
If you should pass by drop right in
But I have no clothes to clean
To put inside the machine
It was the craziest place I've ever been
Oh, come around and meet my friends
They'll be there with me right through to the end

Morning Sun
(1970)
On the Boards
Looks like the morning sun that's come to play outside my window
Another night has gone, if something's changed then it does not show
She looks like the morning sun but you must re member
She's as cold as December, I can't remember what I've done
Looks like the morning sun that's come to play outside my window
Another night has gone if something's changed then it does not show
She shines so brightly and make your two eyes blink

Philby
(1979)
Top Priority
Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby, there's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city, I can't come in from the cold
I'm deep in action on a secret mission, contact's broken down
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion, there's a voice on the telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well it sure is dark in this clockwork city, contact's never gonna show
I've got a code which can't be broken, my eyes never seem to close
Well, I'm standing here in the silent city, shadows falling down
I'm disconnected but I don't need pity, the night's gonna burn on slow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now ain't it funny that I feel like Philby, a stranger on a foreign shore
I've got my plans and I must move quickly, there's a knock upon the door
Still in transit and I'm close to danger, my cover can't be blown,
It's getting strange and it's getting crazy, tell me, what is going on?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Four o'clock and nothing's moving, six o'clock and the daylight's stirring
Morning comes, must be moving on
All night long my mind's been burning, makes me feel such a long, long way from home, home
Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby, there's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city, I can't come in from the cold
Pistol Slapper Blues
(1972)
Live in Europe
Know my dog anywhere I hear him bark
Well I know my rider if I see her in the dark
Well I'd know my dog anywhere I hear him bark
Well, I'd know my rider if I see her in the dark
Ain't it cold for you, mother when you say you don't love me?
Well that's alright woman, you gonna need my help someday
You didn't say you didn't love me, when you were stretched out across my bed
You're drinkin' moonshine whisky and talking all outta your head
Ain't but two kinda people in this world that I can't stand
That's a lying woman and a cheatin', knockin' man1
Well, I feel like slapping my pistol in your face
I'm gonna let the graveyard be your resting place
Well I'd know my dog anywhere I hear him bark
Well, I'd know my rider if I see her in the dark
Race The Breeze
(19..)
from The BBC Sessions
Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack
Spreading its wings on homeward track
Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long
As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for
Come on baby lets jump aboard
It's a mean piece of transport baby
You know that's no joke
On board the aging gamble smiles as he peels
The seal off a new deck, then he quietly deals
Hands round the table from the bottom he slips three
Watch yourself if you play it
