LYRICS TO SONGS
BY PETE HOLLY
"RIVERSIDE DRIVE"
ROCK 'N ROLL GIRL
TUBUKOO
REAL GOOD-LONG TIME-REAL
GOOD-LONG
TIME
I CAN'T TAKE IT-I CAN
HACK
IT !
I GOT MARRIED TO A ROCK
'N
ROLL GIRL
A LONG LONG TIME AGO
SHE BROKE MY HEART AND
SHE
MADE ME CRY
BUT WE'RE STILL TOGETHER
YA
KNOW
WHY,I DON'T KNOW WHY,I
HAD
TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE IT,
WHY,I DON'T KNOW WHY,I
NEVER
WAS GOOD AT FAKEN' IT,
{CHORUS}
SEEN THE WORLD AND I BEEN
DOWN
TO OLD CAANAN,
DEVIL CAN'T TAKE MY
SOUL,HE
CAN'T MAKE ME FAKE IT,
I KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT AND
THIS
SONG
WILL TAKE ME THROUGH THE
NIGHT,
IT'S A NIGHT IN MY WORLD,
I'M LIVEN' TILL THE END
WITH
A ROCK 'N ROLL GIRL.
I'VE BEEN TRAVLIN' DOWN A
DUSTY
ROAD
FOR A LONG LONG
TIME,SINCE
BEFORE I JUST DON'T KNOW
BEEN TO HELL AND TEXAS
AND
BACK AGAIN
JUST TO SEE THE RIVER FLOW
WHY,I DON'T KNOW WHY,I
HAD
TO SEE WHERE IT WAS GOIN',
WHY,I DON'T KNOW
WHY,THERE
AIN'T NO OTHER WAY OF KNOWIN'.
{REPEAT CHORUS}
RIVERSIDE DRIVE
I GREW UP BY THE
RIVERSIDE,IT
WAS NOT FAR FROM THE SEA,
THE LAND WAS NEW,SO SOFT
AND
BLUE,
IT BECAME A PART OF ME.
DOWN BY THE
RIVERSIDE-DOWN
BY THE SEA
MY FAMILYS HOUSE WAS
WHITE
AND TALL,
THE NEIGHBORS FAR AND FEW.
A SECRET LIVED INSIDE THE
WALL'S,
IT SEEMED I ONLY KNEW.
DOWN BY THE
RIVERSIDE-DOWN
BY THE SEA
{SPOKEN}
I BUILT A DREAM TO HIDE
MY
PRIZE,
AND SHELTERED IT WITH
CARE.
I NEVER TOLD A SINGLE
SOUL,MY
FAMILY SECRET SHARED.
BUT NOW,WE LIVE,WE'RE
OLDER
NOW,
THE HOUSE WE KNEW A DREAM.
THOUGH REAL ENOUGH,THE
PRICE
WAS TOUGH,
JUST NOT AS TOUGH AS WE.
DOWN BY THE
RIVERSIDE-DOWN
BY THE SEA.
RIVERSIDE DRIVE.
THERE WILL BE GLORY
WHEN YOUR DOWN,CAN'T SEE
TWO
FEET OFF THE GROUND
YOU HEAR ALL THOSE
SONGS,YOU
RELATE,
BUT IT'S NOT TO LATE
DON'T BELIEVE WHEN THEY
TELL
YOU,
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO
BELIEVE
IN,
DON'T BELIEVE WHEN THEY
TELL
YOU,
NOTHIN' CAN HELP YOU AT
ALL
{CHORUS}
CUZ,THERE WILL BE
GLORY,YEAH,THERE
WILL BE GLORY
IT'S ALL AROUND YOU
WAITING,
YOU HOLD THE KEY THAT
UNLOCKS
THE DOOR
THERE'S A TIME AND A
REASON,
AND A LOVE THAT AWAKES
EACH
SEASON,
AND IT SHINES,THAT
GLORY,THAT
GLORY IS YOURS AND MINE
IN THE SKY,I SAW CLEAR
LIGHT
ALL AROUND,
IN THE SKY I SAW A
MOONBEAM
AND A STAR SHINE,
AND THE CENTURYS COMET
FALL
TO THE GROUND,
SO LOOK UP WHEN SHE FLYS
THERE,
LOOK UP AND YOU'LL SEE
THE
GLORY,
BUT DON'T LET'EM FOOL YA,
DON'T LET'EM WRITE YOUR
STORY
{REPEAT CHORUS}
LAYIN' DOWN THE LAW
I TOLD THAT SON OF A BITCH
DOWN
THE HALLWAY,HE BETTER STOP PLAYIN' THAT SAXAPHONE AND THAT OL' LADY IN
BACK WITH
THE TRICK CRACKEY
BACK,WELL,SHE
BETTER STOP POPPEN' THAT CORN
{CHORUS}
CUZ' IT'S THREE O'CLOCK IN
THE
MORNIN',IT'S RAININ' CATS OUT IN THE HALL,AND THAT SATAN FUCKER,THAT
CROSSTOP
TRUCKER,I KNOW HE'S THE CAUSE OF IT ALL,HE'S BEEN LAYIN' DOWN THE LAW
I GOT A WOODIN' SPIKE,AND
MY
THUMBS IN THE DYKE,I GOT A SILVER BULLET AND A RABBITS CLAW AND YOU
BEST
BELIVE,I'M LAYIN'DOWN THE LAW
{REPEAT CHORUS}
FOREVER
I'VE BEEN RESTLESS IN MY SLEEP,
AND WALKINNG IN MY DREAMS,
IF YOU CALL IT THAT,OR NOTHING AT ALL
WELL I SEE YOU ON THE SCREEN,
THE ONE
FROM RIGHT OUT OF MY DREAM,
IF YOU
CALL
IT THAT,OR NOTHING AT ALL
AND THE MOVIE JUST ROLLS ON AND ON,
LOVERS AWAKE BEFORE THE DAWN,
EACH SILENCE SHUTTING OUT THE PAIN,
AND POWER CHORDING THRU THE RAIN
I'VE BEEN LOOKING IN YOUR EYE'S,
AND SUDDENLY RELIZE,
THAT IT'S REALLY NOT A DREAM,
AND THE LIFE WE
KNEW,JUST BLEW AWAY,
FOREVER,
FOREVER
CATBIRD CANES
I FELL DOWN INTO
YOUR
VERTIGO OF LOVE,
SOMETIMES YOU PUSH AND
THEN YOU SHOVE,
YOUR WAY BACK HOME
AND I GOT OFF ON
YOUR
PSYCHO-DRAMA LIES
YOU LEFT ME
HYPNOTIZED
AND SUDDENLY
SPEECHLESS
{CHORUS}
YOU CAN'T CHANGE ME,LOOK AT ANYTHING YOU SAY,IT JUST WON'T MAKE IT GO
AWAY,
YOU JUST SIT SILENT
YOU
CAN'T SEE ME,SKY'S ABOUT TO CHANGE
THE BIRDS TURN INTO RAIN,
AND GOD LOOKS ON US
AND IN A FRENZIED MIND,A HURRICANE OF
LIES ARE ARE FROZEN DRY,
AND ALL
THE CATBIRD CANES ARE CALLING
{REPEAT CHORUS}
THE SKY'S ABOUT TO CHANGE,
AND BIRDS TURN INTO RAIN,
GOD LOOKS ON US
CATBIRD CANES
CATBIRD CANES
CATBIRD CANES
BORN THAT WAY
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY,
BIG OLD SUNS UP IN THE SKY,
I GUESS I WAS BORN THAT WAY.
SOMETIMES I'M SO AFRAID,
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW THE LOVE WE MADE,
WINTER TIME YOU DRAW THE SHADE,
AND YOU WON'T SHINE ON ME AT ALL.
I CAN'T HELP BUT FALL FOR YOU,
YOURS IS THE ONLY LOVE I EVER KNEW,
I GUESS I WAS BORN THAT WAY.
SOMETIMES I KNOW INSIDE,
OUR TRUE LOVE WILL NEVER DIE,
SPRINGTIME COMES INTO YOUR EYES,
AND I KNOW WE'LL NEVER FALL.
I CAN'T HELP BUT FALL FOR YOU,
YOURS IS THE ONLY LOVE I EVER KNEW,
I GUESS I WAS BORN THAT WAY.
{SPOKEN}
YA KNOW I BEEN AROUND ABIT,
I LOST A FEW TIMES,
BUT I NEVER QUIT,
I GUESS I WAS BORN THAT WAY.
OOOH.... OOOH....OOOH......AHHH......
{TO FADE}
LET IT RIP
BREAK OUT ALL YOUR TEN CENT FRIENDS,
WE'RE GONNA DO YOUR HEAD,
WE'RE GONNA DO YOU IN,
WE'RE GOIN' DOWN TO THE DEW DROP INN,
SHOW THE MOTHERFUCKERS 'BOUT THE
MEANING
OF SIN.

WHERE THEY DO THE CHICKEN DANCE,
AND TRUE BELIEVE IN THAT VOODOO.

JESUS LIVES IN SAN BERNARDINO
JESUS LIVES IN SAN BERNARDINO,
HE'S GOT A CONDOMINIUM DOWN THERE,
I HEAR HE HAS SOME PRETTY WILD PARTIES,
HE DOESN'T BOTHER PREACHEN' ANYWHERE.
AND HE LIKES WATCHEN' CABLE,
AND DRINKIN BUDWIESER BEER,
HE DOESN'T BOTHER PREACHEN',
CAUSE HE THINKS NO ONE WOULD HEAR.
HE WANTS TO GO TO RUSSIA,
CAUSE PEOPLE THERE DON'T KNOW,
THAT HE STILL LIVES AMONG US,
IN SAN BERNARDINO.
HE LIKES TO READ HIS STORY IN THE BIBLE,
IT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR TO HIM YA KNOW,
LIKE IT ALL HAPPENED TO HIM YESTERDAY,
ON THE STREETS OF SAN BERNARDINO,
ON THE STREETS OF SAN BERNARDINO.
BLUE SUN
BLUE
SUN - LOOKEN' AT YOU - WE GOT NUTHIN'-LEFT TO DO

BOISE'S BURNIN'
BOISE'S BURNIN IN THE DOWNTOWN STREET
THE KIDS ARE EXPLODING IN HOT ROD HEAT
CAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO,
AND THERE'S NOTHEN' TO DO,
OUT IN THE STREETS,TILL' AFTER CURFEW
THE PARKEN' LOT PLACES,THEY'RE ALL JUST
A SET UP,
THE COPS AND THE TRAFFIC,THEY JUST WON'T
-LET UP-
BOISE'S BURNIN'
THE INNOCENT AND THE YOUNG
BOISE;S BURNIN'
BECAUSE OF BOREDOM
idaho guns
my mama's
upstairs,bawlen'
on the phone
dad he's got his
money in the third world
-war-
i'm liven' for
reasons,you
allways fail to see, so what is it that you want ? why you want to be
with
me ?
liven' in
idaho,aint' much fun-you might as well buy yourself a -tommy gun-
they
outlaw aphrodisiacs,they outlaw
papers too-next

-catch 22-

out late-playen' with the boy's-i'm playen' hot potato with the nuclear
noise-liven' in idaho-aint' much fun-you might as well buy yourself a

AMPLIFIERS AND ALLISON
THERE'S BEEN SOME NIGHTS WHEN YOU
WHERE UNDER SUSPICION,
FALLIN' OUT OF LINE WITH
REGULAR PRECISION.
THE INTERVIEWS YOU GAVE WERE A
HEAD ON COLLISION,
NOW HOW DOES BONNIE RATE,
WITH YOUR IMMACULATE DERISION ?
WILL THEY FORGIVE THE BOY WHO GAVE US
SO MUCH JOY,
WILL THEY TAKE AWAY OUR TOYS,
LIKE AMPLIFIERS AND ALLISON
AMPLIFIERS AND ALLISON
AMPLIFIERS AND ALLISON.
WHEN "THIS YEARS MODEL" LOOK'S LIKE
"OLIVERS ARMY" AND ALL YOUR
OPINIONS SEEM SO TWISTED AND
ALARMING.
WITH A TOUNGE LIKE RAZOR BLADES,
I DON'T CARE FOR IMITATIONS,
EVERYBODYS GOT THIER LIMITATIONS.
WHO'LL WRITE A TUNE WITH PAUL
RAKE IT IN AND FOOL THEM ALL,
WHO'LL MAKE THE VOCAL SING,
WHO'LL MAKE THE CASH REGISTER RING,
WITH AMPLIFIERS AND ALLISON-
{MIDDLE 8}
LIKE A RADIO STUCK ON THE SAME OLD STATION,THEY DON'T PLAY YOUR TUNES
OR
HOLD
YOUR RESERVATIONS-THEY WEAR YOUR "RED
SHOES" AND IT THRILLS THEM WITH ELATION,
BUT THEY
CANNOT
TAKE AWAY YOUR POWERS OF
OBSERVATION-
LIKE -AMPLIFIERS AND ALLISON,
WHO'LL TAKE OFF HER PARTY DRESS,
AND SHINE ALL THE BUTTONS ON THIER
"GREEN SHIRTS".
THAT'S BETTER !
PETE HOLLY III
CONQUER THE WORLD
REMEMBER SCHOOL DAYS-WHEN I WAS YOU'RE FOOL,
WE HAD SOMETHING SO FINE
GOT SO WASTED,STILL, I'M GLAD WE TASTED,
IT'S A FEELING YOU CAN'T DESCRIBE
{CHORUS}
IT'S LIKE WE COULD-CONQUER THE WORLD
WE COULD WIN THIS TIME
W'ELL,CONQUER THE WORLD
EVEN IF WE LIVE IN SIN
W'ELL, CONQUER THE WORLD
YOU SUCKER PUNCHED ME-I BLEED TO DEATH,
AND YOU DROWNED ME AND STOLE MY BREATH-
MY BODY IS SPIRIT NOW-I'M NOT HERE,I DON'T KNOW HOW-
BUT I'LL-{REPEAT CHORUS}
GOT A CIGARETTE ?
-THIS TIME W'ELL WIN-
OOOH-SO FINE !
NEW SONG
HERE IN DEATH VALLEY IT'S HOTTER
THAN HELL,
I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS BUT YOU CAN'T
REALLY TELL,
I LOOK AT YOUR LIFE AND I LOOK AT
YOUR LIES,
AS I FELL FROM THE GROUND AND I
CRASHED IN THE SKY,
I COULD NEVER LOVE BUT I COULD
NEVER HATE,
BUT SOMETIMES I WISH THAT YOU'D
JUST GO AWAY-JUST GO AWAY.
WELL YOU LIVE A LIFE THAT I'LL
NEVER KNOW,
HERE THE SUN NEVER SHINES AND
NOTHEN' WILL GROW,
BUT I'M MAK'EN A PLAN TO GET OUT
OF HERE SOON,
AND THE SUNS GOIN' TA SHINE BUT
BUT IT WON'T BE THE SAME,
YEAH THE SUNS GONNA SHINE ON
THE NEW SONG THAT I PLAY,
YEAH-THAT'LL BE THE DAY,
WON'T THAT BE A DAY.
TRULY DELICATE NATURE
WELL YOUR SKINS AS TOUGH AS
LEATHER,
EMOITIONS FROZE INSIDE,
NO ONE
CAN
FAZE YOUR BARRICADE,
YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL A MILLION
TIMES,
YET DEEP
INSIDE-THOUGH-STILL
YOU HIDE,
NOT STEEL BUT ONLY PAPER,
SANG THE SONG THE STRONG
MAN
KNEW,
OF HIS TRULY DELICATE NATURE.
WELL,THE WILD-EYED BOY FROM
ILLINOIS,
ON HIS WILD-ASS PONY CAPER,
HE
CAME
INTO TOWN WITH HIS GANG,
STRIPPED DOWN,
AND
HE ROBBED THE BANK IN DRAPER.
HE
TRIED
TO HIDE,THE BULLET INSIDE,
THAT STRUCK AS HE WAS ESCAPEN',
BUT AS THE BLOOD TRICKLED DOWN,
IT LEFT A TRAIL ON THE GROUND,
OF HIS "TRULY DELICATE NATURE".
OL' LIL' COULD
GIVE
A GREAT BIG THRILL,
TO EVEN THE MOST JADED HONKY,
SHE'D GET THEM PONYS REVED-UP SO FAST,
PLAYEN' FASTER THAN LEO KOTTKE,
AN CRYIN',AN SCREAMIN'
AN DOIN' HER BEST,
YOU'D FORGET THAT
YOU PAID TILL' YOU
CAME THERE.
THEN SUDDENLY REMEMBER,
LIKE A DREAM FROM SEPTEMBER,
OF YOUR
"TRULY DELICATE NATURE".
AAAHHHH ! ! ! !
-TELL THE TRUTH-
-HE LOVES MONEY-
THE WILD EYED BOY
FROM ILLINOIS
TRULY DELICATE NATURE
{REPEAT TO FADE}
HEART OF GOLD
HERE I AM
IN
MY OLD BEDROOM,
REMEMBER WHEN I ONCE HAD YOU,
IT HASN'T CHANGED,
IT LOOKS THE SAME,
NOT LIKE US-WE HAD TO CHANGE.
WHEN YOU GO,
TAKE THIS WITH YOU,
IT'S A CHAIN YOU MADE IN SCHOOL,
A HEART OF GOLD,
SAYS "I LOVE YOU",
AND YOU CRIED-WHEN I GAVE IT BACK TO YOU.
WHEN YOU GO TAKE THIS WITH YOU,
A HEART OF GOLD.
