Hanging out for Love 03:56

Hanging out for Love J. Sule/G.Rogers Love is young, love is bold Gleaming bright like burnished gold Love grows dull, love grows cold When you lose hope and then grow old Love is strong, love is green The special right of the beauty queen Love grows flat, love grows lean When the daily grind removes the sheen Chorus Wet sheets hanging limp on the clothesline They’ve been there weeks, waiting for the sunshine I’ve been hanging out for love such a long time Hanging… hanging out for love Meals to cook, floors to mop Bills to pay and wood to chop Love is scrubbed with every pot That once used to shine like burnished gold The nights are long, the days are cold The winter fog has taken hold The line is filled with clothes to fold Looks like the sheets are growing mould Chorus - Wet sheets… Weather’s wet, weather’s fine Life is life through rain or shine Love is there beneath the grime It just takes a hint of warmth to shine Chorus Wet sheets hanging limp on the clothesline They’ve been there weeks, waiting for the sunshine I’ve been hanging out for love such a long time Hanging… Ooh Wet sheets hanging limp on the clothesline They’ve been there weeks, waiting for the sunshine I’ve been hanging out for love such a long time, Hanging… hanging out for love

Forgotten your Name J. Sule / G. Rogers Since you’ve gone the dog whines all day long Neighbours call and ask me what is wrong, but Chorus Don’t think he’s crying tears over you That we can’t carry on without you Don’t think I’m crying tears over you The world is turning fine without you Back here life continues the same Back here we’ve forgotten your name All our friends keep asking where you’ve gone Why you’re not back here where you belong Chorus: Don’t think they’re crying tears over you… Sunshine left the day you packed your bags Rain-clouds fill the sky like sodden rags Chorus: Don’t think they’re crying tears over you… Bridge Stop the clocks, make them stop Why should time carry on this way? Why does the world keep turning round? Chorus Don’t think I’m crying tears over you That I can’t carry on without you Don’t think I’m crying tears over you The world is turning fine without you Back here life continues the same Back here we’ve forgotten your name Back here life continues the same Back here we’ve forgotten your name

Turned round, Upside down 02:58

Turned Round, Upside down (J.Sule/G.Rogers) Fell in love with the wrong kind of man Played guitar in a rock ‘n roll band My family didn’t understand When we left for a far-off land Very soon I learned my mistake He caused me nothing but grave heart-ache Thought my days of loving were done Now I know they’ve just begun Heart-ache and misery Are words well-known to me But that is history Now that you have come to me, I’m Chorus Turned round, upside down Fallen in love with you, I’m Turned round, upside down Fallen in love with you I’d given up on loving and trust, but You came along and you changed my luck You’re not the kind to break any hearts You loved me well from the very start You didn’t try to be a big star You were great just the way you are You weren’t out to try and impress You said it all with a sweet caress Heartache… Chorus Fell in love with the right kind of man You don’t play in a rock ‘n roll band No worries who you’re seeing tonight Cos you and me have got the loving right

Johnny was my man 02:53
lyrics

Johnny was my Man Johnny was my man but he didn’t have a plan And he never really had a clue He partied nights away and slumbered through the day And he wanted me to do that too Come dancing with me he’d smile and he’d plead As he rolled himself another joint Our friends will be there with a flagon of beer But I couldn’t really see the point Chorus Johnny I said, get out of my bed, pet This is no way for you to get ahead, pet Johnny I said you’re making me fret, pet I’ll never be the fool you turned out to be Johnny was a clown, you’d see him on the town He was always good for having a laugh But when the money ran out there was never a doubt It was me that he would always ask Chorus Johnny was a man who didn’t understand That someone had to pay the rent He had plenty of charm and he meant me no harm But I knew that it was time he went

In My Motorcar J.Sule/G.Rogers On the street I chanced to see The very first car that belonged to me Not as bright as it used to be But shone like gold to the heart of me Took me back to days gone by When cousin Jim taught me how to drive Best friend Jane and her brother Clyde Came along too for the fun of the ride Pre-chorus: We’d go driving – out to the country side Wind in our hair – music in our ears Off the road the wheels spun deep Stuck in the mud with a paddock of sheep The farmer yelled and towed us out After he’d called us long-haired louts Skinny-dipping at Boulder Creek Scaring each other at Lover’s Leap Wheels our own and time to spare Raising dust with never a care Pre-chorus: We’d go driving – out to the country side Wind in our hair – music in our ears Chorus In my motorcar – we learned to drive In my motorcar – we thought we’d arrived In my motorcar – we came alive We learned how the world turned round [We learned how the world turned round] Wheels kept turning, time went by Found myself falling for a handsome guy No more rambling, daytime trips (just) Night-time driving and road-side trysts Mother said don’t play with fire Shun that back seat late at night Father said don’t drive too fast, or This joyride gonna be your last Pre-chorus: We’d go driving – looking for paradise Back-seat fumblings – opened up my eyes Chorus

Let’s pretend J.Sule/G.Rogers Let’s pretend we’re starting out fresh And yet to do our best Let’s put a big grin on our faces Let’s pretend there’s stars in our eyes and put the past to rest Cos now we’re really going places You pretend you’re seeing it through And I’ll pretend that too We’ll hitch our wagon to a star I’ll pretend I’m seeing it through And you pretend that too Cos now we’re really going far. Chorus Slow down No! – push on ahead This wagon ain’t gonna leave without us Slow down No! – push on ahead This wagon ain’t gonna leave without us. Won’t pretend that nobody cares And waste our time in tears Gotta keep that smiling face from sagging Won’t pretend we’re young in our years Or nearly millionaires Gonna jump aboard that rolling wagon

Live Too Much J. Sule, G. Rogers I don’t want to make new friends I don’t care if that offends I won’t have to learn their names Don’t have time for their fun and their games I don’t need to make my mark I don’t have to win any hearts I don’t care what people say I ain’t gonna give my loving away Chorus Love is too sharp to touch It only hurts and cuts I don’t want to love too much Life is too sharp to touch It only hurts and cuts I don’t want to live too much I don’t want to aim for the stars I just need things to stay as they are I won’t move from my private shell Don’t mess around with my personal hell I don’t want to bare my soul I don’t believe in a heart of gold I do want to keep to myself Don’t need you or anybody to help Chorus Bridge Once in a while something passes my by That gives me a nagging doubt One simple smile makes me feel I’m alive Maybe I’m missing out…missing out Missing out ….Ooh, I’m missing out Is love too sharp to touch Does life just hurt and cut Can you ever love too much? Maybe I could live a little more….

South East Cemetery 04:15

South-East Cemetery J. Sule/G. Rogers There’s a place that is not dead centre Though many stay there once they have entered South-East of the City, out by the sea Took a walk through my favourite haunt Met the undertaker out for a jaunt Like a bat out of hell in his long, black hearse Bridge Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell in his long, black hearse Chorus There’s no rest at the South-East Cemetery There’s no peace – hold onto your sanity Lock your cars at the South-East cemetery And close the gates Carried on past the dogs with their owner Past the dealers selling stuff to the stoners Digging up the dirt looking for the bones Up ahead beneath a clump of trees Lovers meet surreptitiously Who would ever think to find them here? Bridge Things are heating up Things are heating up in the cold graveyard Chorus – There’s no rest… Harper, Willis, McCartney and Craven All at rest in their concrete haven Died in the year of nineteen-fifty-one On her knees was a grief-stricken mourner Unaware – cos no-one had warned her Purse was stolen from out of her unlocked car Bridge South-East of the city South-East of the city, out by the sea Chorus

Both Sides of the Line's cd, Sideshow, is " a record chock full of slinky country tunes, built upon 21st Century ‘adult contemporary’ bones. Digging a little beneath the surface you will find cooing swing come-ons here (Magical Man), fleeting touches of Americana there (Macs General Store), rockabilly beats and soft rock tendencies throughout."
