Take Me To The Other Side (Kember/Pierce)

I have a passion, sweet Lord
And it just won't go away
I have it each and every day Lord
Sure as the sun comes up each day

Come on take me for a ride
Take me to the other side
Come on and take me for a ride

Come on baby take my hand
And we'll walk across the sand
We'll go to places we ain't been
See all the things that we ain't seen

Come on take me for a ride
Take me to the other side
Come on take me for a ride
Come on and take me for a ride
Come on take me for a ride

I have a passion, sweet Lord
And it just won't go away
I have it each and every day Lord
Sure as the sun comes up each day

Come on take me for a ride
Take me to the other side
Come on and take me for a ride
Come on take me for a ride
Come on take me for a ride
Take me to the other side
Come on, come on, come on now babe
Take me to the other side
Come on and take me for a ride
Come on take me for a ride

Walkin’ With Jesus (Kember/Pierce)

I walked with Jesus and he would say
"Oh you poor child, you ain't comin' to me no way
You've found Heaven on Earth, gonna burn for your sin"
But I think I'll be in good company down there with all my friends

Well I got around to thinking 'bout what Jesus said to me
Cos if Heaven's like this, then that's the place for me
Long, long time between now and my death
And I gotta have my fun so I've chosen what's best

Well, here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of confusion
The sound of love

So listen sweet Lord, forgive me my sin
‘Cos I can't stand this life without all of these things
Know I done wrong, but I've Heaven on Earth
Know I done wrong, but I could have done me worse

Well, here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of confusion
Well, here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of love

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
The sound of love
The sound of love
The sound of love

Jesus please meet me at the centre of the earth
Cos these wings are gonna fail me and I could have done me worse
Yeah I could have done me worse
Yeah I could have done me worse...

Ode To Street Hassle (Kember/Pierce)

Well I've been to some far out places
I've read the writing on the wall
But today I walked with Jesus and together
Together we walk tall

And as we sat there talking
Jesus turned to say to me
"You'd better learn and love this life ‘cos there's things
There's things that are hard to see"

And as I sat there thinkin'
Once again he turned to me
He said "I've given you temptation but these things
These things have got to be"

So I just sat and listened
To what Jesus said to me
‘Cos sometimes you gotta listen, if there's things,
If there's things you just can't see

And while we were out walking
Once again he turned to me
And as I looked into his eyes his thoughts
His thoughts just came to me.

Well some people never listen
You know some people just won't see
But I can see and hear these things
These things have got to be.

Transparent Radiation (Thompson/Cunningham/Barthelm)

Selfless man slip by my side
Uttering words about the turning tide, and
She slowly furnishes my continuous ride
Towards insanitary bits of hide
Hair quite long and lavender-dyed
Split nostrils are green open wide
Velvet breasts with crimson legs astride
Uttering words about a turning tide
And she asks me can I ever provide
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation

My liquid head open to the rain
I walk through a bushel and a peck of grain
I hear in my ear a hurricane
And speak to the man about a train
Touch with my hand an aeroplane
Eyes wide open on the coast of Maine
Red signs outside which I contain
Some sensuality that I can't explain, ah
Some sensuality that I can't explain
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation

Tables bearing the fruits of Lent
Styrofoam people quite violent
Clear light blowing right out of my tent
Ozone over our continent
Expert men not knowing what they meant
They all eat babies for nourishment
Funny bird with her forehead bent
Slogans tell me that I can rent
Ah, yes they tell me that I can rent
Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation

Uttering words about a turning tide

Some sensuality that I can't explain

Transparent radiation
Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation
Transparent radiation

Ozone over our continent

Yes they’re tellin’ me that I can rent

Transparent radiation
Oh, radiation

Feel So Good (Kember/Pierce)

Things'll Never Be the Same (Kember/Pierce)

Let me tell ya about this life
I got mine and he got his
Tell me people what do you see
Tell me people what you think of me
And I'll let you know just how I feel
If you let me know when your life gets too real
We'll put some love deep in our veins
Somewhere in our hearts, things won't be the same

I had a girl, I gave her all my cash
But that kind of love just ain't gonna last
I know a stuff that's as good every time
But it's still gonna rob me of everything that's mine
So babe let me know how do you feel
And babe let me know when your life gets too real
We'll put some love deep in our veins
Somewhere in our hearts, things won't be the same

I coulda had a girl to straighten out my life
Fall deep in love and take that babe for my wife
I coulda had religion but that ain't too good
I coulda had a heart and done things like I should
So babe let me know how do you feel
And babe let me know when your life gets too real
We'll put some love deep in our veins
Somewhere in our hearts, things won't be the same

Things won't be the same

Come Down Easy (Kember/Pierce)

In 1987 all I wanna do is fly
All I want for you to do is reach up to the sky
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, and come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright

In 1987 all I wanna do is get stoned
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Meet me children meet me
Meet me at the top of the sky
All I want for you to do
Is take yourself a little higher
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Yeah I feel alright, alright, alright

Take it down, take it way down low
Down, down, down, down, down
Take it way down low
About as low as you can go

I don't know

I don't know, but…
I don't know, but I shake it babe
Shake it babe, shake it babe
Shake it baby, shake it babe, shake it babe
Yeah so I can fly
Yeah, just take it a little higher now
Yeah, come down easy

Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Shake it babe…

Jesus Christ I was only shakin', Lord…

Shake it babe
Shake it baby
Shake it baby
Shake it babe

Call the Doctor (kember/Pierce)

Call the doctor pretty baby, you know I'm near to my last breath
You'd better hurry now honey, or you're gonna be my death
You'd better throw away the spoons and all the other dirty things
Cos when the law arrives this evening, I don't think they'll wait and ring

Call the doctor pretty baby, tell him he's gotta rush and run
Cos I think I've had too much babe, tell him it ain't no fun

Hey there's the door now pretty baby, see who's on the other side
Tell them to back up with the wagon now I think I'm going for a ride

Tell them I did it to myself babe, and I lived a life of sin
Tell them black ain't always white babe, and without sure ain't within
