Nazareth - Ain't Got You - lyrics

I got a maseratti two by two
With snakeskin upholstery
Charge account at goldblatz
But I aint got you
I got a closet full of clothes
And no matter where I goes
You keeps a ring in my nose
But I aint got you
I got a tavern, a liquor store
I play the numbers, 444
I got mojo dont you know
Im all dressed up with no place to go
I got women to the right of me
I got women to the left of me
I got women all around me
But I aint got you, no I aint got you
I got a tavern, and a liquor store
I play the numbers, 444
I got mojo dont you know
But I aint got you
No, I aint got you
No, I aint got you
No, I aint got you

Nazareth - A Veteran's Song - lyrics

The bars are crowded with wasted youth
You just went, you didnt know the truth
You dont know that kid when you look back
You remember the music, paint it black
You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card
Hes got a job in the white house, aint life hard
You came back a hero on a stolen horse
You say you dont fit in, you cant stay the course
I may be right, dont care if Im wrong
Its a veterans song
I may be right, dont care if Im wrong
Its a veterans song
The band paraded playing oh gung ho
Your country needs you, youve got to go
When you came over they said soldier go back
When you came home they put you on the rack
Between agent orange and the jungle and fear
Youre just surviving to get out of here
You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down
Could be your number is on the next round.
(mccafferty, sweet, charlton, agnew)

Nazareth - All The Kings Horses - lyrics

I know you
You always rode so tall in the saddle
You are the answer
But I know that you are only causin trouble
Take all you want, leave me the rest behind
Youre a user
A winnin no new friends, just make one small step
Youre a user
You never came to anyones call
Spent all your life head on the wall
While youre up there, theres only one way to fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
You still got your chances
The one thing the whole world loves is a winner
You cant walk on water
With your heat the ice youre on is gettin thinner
You used to be so wise
But you are fooled by your own lies
And I see right through your disguise
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again.

Nazareth - Back To School - lyrics

You didnt listen when you went to school
You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool
But now your education is about to begin
The difference between love and the mess that youre in
You figured youre cool Ill bend all the rules
Ill get them going red flags to a bull
Its not like the movies no duel in the sun
You need the answer to get your love done
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
You know the business or so you believe
You set all your sights but you aim to deceive
You think youll hit the target every time that you fire
You think you know the difference between love and desire
But someones waiting to turn you around
Shell shoot you down and put your feet on the ground
Its not like dreamin you can make mistakes
A lesson learned is not so easy to take
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Youre doin numbers but you dont keep the score
Theyre scratchin the surface but they dont
Reach the core
You only bought the ticket cause the price was all in
Youll never reach the heart until you,ve broken the skin
Youre busy running but you never relax
Live now pay later including the tax
But now your education is about to begin
Forget about the stories and the places youve been
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Back to school back to school

Nazareth - Backroom Boys - lyrics

The backroom boys are playin real hard
Theres a lot of money rollin on the next card
Some are goin up some are goin down
Somell never make it to the next round
Stone me it dont come free
You gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin meaner with the dealer--cause he cant lose
Someone shouts out,its a goddamn shame
The dealers gettin meaner with the cocaine
*stone me it dont come free
Gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Cant stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you wanna be a backroom boy
** up all night, playin it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
** the backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when youre up, kick you when youre down
Youll always be a loser in their town
Repeat *
Repeat **
Repeat ***
Repeat * (2x)

Nazareth - Alcatraz - lyrics

Now lay me down on market street
Im lookin for some spare change
A coast guard ship has been lookin for me
And I might have to change my name
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans
The local chiefs on the radio
Hes got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin back to alcatraz
Lay me back down here on the highway
One hundred and one ways to go
Solitary is so confinin
To the legend of geronimo
Oh I know I could bring the rain
Used to dance for abc
And all the braves down on death row
Are pretending to be free
Back home in alcatraz
In the land of the great white father
My american blood runs cold
I left my home in oklahoma
To the everglades I go
Its just the wings on the silver cars
And Im allowed to plow a field
Its not the life for a nineteen seventy
(whats an)indian boy to do
Goin back to alcatraz
Lay me down on market street
Im lookin for some spare change
A coast guard ship has been lookin for me
Might have to change my name
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans
Local chiefs on the radio
Hes got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin back to alcatraz
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans
Local chiefs on the radio
Hes got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz
Goin back to alcatraz

Nazareth - All Nite Radio (radio Edit) - lyrics

So youve run outa numbers
And youve run outa lovers
They wont deliver that pizza
Youre hungry under the covers
Youre all alone in the moonlight
Got to get ready for daylight
All nite, all nite
Listening to the all nite radio
You could have been sleepin?You could have done anythin?But everbodys singin?Good morin?
All nite, all nite
Listening to the all nite
All nite radio

Nazareth - Another Year - lyrics

So your plane was late
You missed that date
And your horse cant win
So you drink another bottle of gin
And your shares went down
They touched the ground
And your best laid plans
Have slipped right out of your hands
So you think youre fat
Well thats a fact
But your well ran dry
So you had to walk another mile
Think about them, think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who never saw
So your car wont start
Needs a special part
But you made your choice
Now youre stuck with all your big boys toys
Now the words around
Youve gone aground
And youve lost your wind
Youll never see your ship come in
Think about them, think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Mothers, fathers
Sisters, brothers
Old man, young man
Whale song, all gone
Where did we go wrong
Think about those wholl never see another
Those wholl never see another
Those wholl never see
Think about them, think about them.

Nazareth - Animals - lyrics

I know what I need I need you
I cant see nothin else all I can see is you
I dont care what they say about my state of mind
I know whats good for me and you are just my kind
We are animals we are animals we are animals we are animals
I know what I want I want you
Shed your cloths forget your codes
You know this is nothing new
I smell your scent I taste your sweat
I feel this passion too
Lets trust our senses not our minds
Lets break all the rules
We are animals we are animals
We are animals we are animals
We are animals
We are animals
Come with me run with me leave this world behind
Come to me come with me I know that we will find
We are animals we are animals
We are animals we are animals
We are animals
We are animals
