1 | Don't Say A Word | ||
Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
Don't say a word Don't tell me where you think I'm going wrong Not a word I heard it all before you came along It's the same old songDon't say a word Don't tell me what I need, I've got it all Not a word You might as well bang your head off the wall And it makes no sense at all No it makes no sense at allIt's the same old song Going on and on and on It's the same old song Going on and on and onDon't say a word Can't you see that I've made up my mind? Not a word Can't you see I've got it all you must be blind Or out of your mind Out of your tiny little mindDon't say a word Don't tell me where you think I'm going wrong Not a word I heard it all before you came along It's the same old song Going on and on and onIt's the same old song Going on and on and on It's the same old song Going on and on and on It's the same old song Going on and on and on | |||
2 | Last One To Know | ||
Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
How could she tell me that our love was over? How could she bring these words to my door? How could she leave me, hurt me, deceive me? How was I the last one to know?Answer me, oh my love Just what sin have I been guilty of? Tell me how I came to lose your love Answer me, my love! You were mine, yesterday I believed that love was here to stay Won't you tell me where I've gone astray? Answer me, my love!How could she tell me that she'd found another? How could she bring those words to my door? How could she leave me, hurt me, deceive me? How was I the last one to know?Answer me, oh my love Just what sin have I been guilty of? Tell me how I came to lose your love Answer me, my love! You were mine, yesterday I believed that love was here to stay Won't you tell me where I've gone astray? Answer me, my love! | |||
3 | Early Morning Train | ||
Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
Did your good times come and go? Or is it best that I don't know? On that early morning train It's like you've never been awayI'd take the sun out of the sky for you And keep it locked away Hold back the morning tide for you On the early morning trainStill thinking of that place I can see it in your face On the early morning train It's like you've never been awayI'd take the sun out of the sky for you And keep it locked away Hold back the morning tide for you On the early morning train | |||
4 | Shoot It All Down / I Don't Like Mondays | ||
Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
5 | Callerton Rose | ||
Recorded and mixed by Alan Fish Produced by Alan Fish | |||
There were days when I knew my life was complete As I walked by your side, the world at my feet And the time when we danced under flickering light From the stars looking down on that Westerhope nightBut do you suppose They ever came close With the sun on my back And my Callerton roseThey said all things must pass and we knew from the start What held us so close could tear us apart On the night that you left I thought I would die Under stars looking out on that Westerhope skyBut do you suppose They ever came close With the sun on my back And my Callerton rose | |||

7 | In Her Day | ||
Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
It's dirty and torn That coat should never be worn again She heard someone say Wonder what she looked like in her dayHer shoes are worn drown If it rains, I know she will drown again At three in the night She just turns and waits for morning lightBut this can't be right She's sleeping in doorways tonight How deep is the scar That made her fall this far?Stares into the night Hears a noise sees a blue flashing light again Her back's to the wall As she remembers when she had it allBut this can't be right She's down on her luck tonight How deep is the scar That made her fall this far?It's dirty and torn That coat should never be worn again She heard someone say Wonder what she looked like in her dayBut this can't be right She's down on her luck tonight How deep is the scar That made her fall this far?Wonder what she looked like in her day | |||

Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
Feel the beat of the city tonight In the streets of Newcastle tonight Feel the heat in the city tonight In the streets of Newcastle tonightThere'll be tears in the city tonight See the boys on the make and the girls dressed to kill Chasing dreams in the city tonight In the streets of Newcastle tonightThere were times when they said This town had gone to my head Leazes Park to the Tyne In the streets of Newcastle tonightIt's a beautiful city I know Down the steps to the Quayside and I can still see Seven bridges to carry me home To the streets of Newcastle tonightThere were times when they said This town had gone to my head Leazes Park to the Tyne In the streets of Newcastle tonightFeel the beat of the city tonight See them all dressed in black down in Old Eldon Square All my pictures will be black and white In the streets of Newcastle tonightThere were times when they said This town had gone to my head Leazes Park to the Tyne In the streets of Newcastle tonightThere were times when they said This town had gone to my head Leazes Park to the Tyne In the streets of Newcastle tonight | |||
9 | Away From You | ||
Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
I just don't know where the days have gone Without a word, tomorrow came along And yesterday, it sailed into the blue I've been spending to much time away from youThe telephone can't thrill me with your touch And the words you write, don't hold me close enough And photographs don't say it like you do I've been spending to much time away from youI wanna take you to the beach tonight Keep you within my reach all nightAnd yesterday, it sailed into the blue I've been spending to much time away from youThe telephone can't thrill me with your touch And the words you write, don't hold me close enough And photographs don't say it like you do I've been spending to much time away from youI've been spending to much time away from you | |||

Recorded and mixed by Tony Davis at Cluny Studios Produced by Alan Fish | |||
Down at the Mayfair on a Friday night With your hair too long, jeans too tight What a mess, stood there in your grandad vest All the young dudes heading underground Gonna take their place with the lost and found Beneath the street, it's where we all would meetAnd Moondancer's acting crazy He's just a little bit out of his head I Never understood a word he said Not a wordPercy Street to the promised land Sensational Alex Harvey Band They're in town, here comes the clown City Tavern, Old George and the Man in the Moon Afghan coats in the middle of June Friday couldn't come too soon!And Moondancer thinks he's Jesus He's just a little bit out of control Look at him go! Now I've seen it all Seen it allDown at the Mayfair on a Friday night Look at those girls jeans skin tight Oh how they danced! We never stood a chance Wishbone Ash and the Spiders from Mars The whole place is rocking to a thousand guitars What a sight on a Friday nightIt's two o'clock and I'm acting crazy Just a little bit out of my head I've spend my taxi fare, looks like I'm walking instead Walking to youAll the young dudes Carry the news I see all the young dudes Carry the news |
