‘Nervous’
I’m a nervous kinda boy, don’t cha spook me, I might run
I’m a nervous kinda boy, don’t cha spook me, I might run
Well, my mind it ain’t that jumpy – just my heart might come undone
When I see you walking honey, kinda shake deep down inside
When I see you walking honey, kinda shake deep down inside
There’s a crash and flash of lightning – zipping round my bones
I’m holding out for someone, take it easy on me
Well, I’m holding out for someone, take it easy on me
Just calm some of these jitters – zipping ‘round my bones
Well I’m nervous, well, I’m nervous
Well, I’m n, n, n, nervous
I see a crash and flash of lightning, it’s zipping ‘round my bones

‘I’m Your Man’ (Alex Haynes)
You might be crying in the street
Wishin’ the world was at your feet
You think you’re done, feelin’ beat
Just hold on, ‘cause I’m coming
I’m your man – I’m on your side
I’m your man – no need to hide
I’m your man – I won’t fail
I’m your man, I’m your man
All your troubles, they’re my troubles
I’m gonna work, we’ll see this through
I do declare – I won’t fail
I can’t stop, don’t know how
I’m your man – I’m on your side
I’m your man – no need to hide
I’m your man – I won’t fail
I’m your man, I’m your man
There been times, I been alone
I know the ups – I know the downs
I know you need, a helping hand
You feel like runnin’ – nowhere to go
I’m your man – I’m on your side
I’m your man – no need to hide
I’m your man – I won’t fail
I’m your man, I’m your man

‘Howl’ (Alex Haynes)
Shaking like a leaf, cracking like a whip
Feel I’m in a spiders grip, bouncing on a web
Rattling like a tambourine
Looking up and down - I have to howl
I see the moon up in the sky - looking down from on high
Love it when you hold me, love it how you tell me
Now I have to howl for you
Moving up and down, creeping back and forth
Something’s on the prowl, stuck inside your web
I have to howl for you, baby
I see the moon up in the sky - looking down from on high
Love the way you tell me, love it when you hold me
Now I gotta howl for you – I gotta howl
I see the moon up in the sky - shining down from on high
Love the way you hold me , love it how you tell me
Now I gotta howl for you – I gotta howl
I gotta howl for you, baby
I have to howl for you, baby
I have to howl for you, honey
I gotta howl

‘Shake it Up’ (Alex Haynes)
Well, come on now, now don’t act so tough
Each in us own way we’ve all had it rough
You show me one face I might show you the same
Nothing lasts forever – it’s a crying shame
Well, come on now, the world will come in
And if you let it, you’re the one who’ll win
You’ve got what’s yours and I could use what’s mine
Come on, shake it, help me sing my song
Shake it, darling – shake it for me
Shake it up – see what we’ll see
Come on now, now don’t act so tough
Shake it up, ah, shake it for me
Ah, shake it for me – come on and shake it for me
Oh, shake it for me
Talking trash, I’ll show you the door
I see a window, man, you see the floor
Poor on money but we got plenty of time
You’ve got what’s yours and I could use what’s mine
Shake it, darling – shake it for me
Shake it up – see what we’ll see
Come on now, now don’t act so tough
Shake it up, ah, shake it for me
Ah, shake it for me – shake it for me
Come on and shake it for me
Poor on money but we got plenty of time
You’ve got what’s yours and I could use what’s mine
A little down at heel but still moving along
Come on, shake it, help me sing my song
Shake it, darling – shake it for me
Shake it up – see what we’ll see
Come on now, now don’t act so tough
Shake it up, ah, shake it for me
Ah, shake it for me – come on and shake it for me
Oh, shake it for me – shake it, shake it

‘Lonesome Shadows’ (Alex Haynes)
Lonesome shadows on the wall
Left by no-one there at all
Tears rise up, and they fall
Left lonesome shadows on the wall
Lonesome shadows long and tall
Thought I saw you in the hall
Glimpse, but no-one came to call
Just lonesome shadows on the wall
If I had my chance again
Well, I’d only be with you
If I got back all that time
Could I say it was really mine
These empty moments do unfold
Leave a heart that’s growing cold
Tears well and they do roll
Leave lonesome shadows on the wall
If I had my time again
Well, I’d spend it all with you
If I got back all that time
Could I say it was really mine
Lonesome shadows on the wall
Left by no-one there at all
No-one to answer if you call
One lonesome shadow on the wall
Shadows on the wall, shadows on the wall
On the wall, on the wall

‘All I Got in This World’ (Alex Haynes)
Rolled up this morning, from a dream that won’t let me be
I rolled up this morning, from a dream that won’t let me be
Seem the whole world, don’t know right from wrong
Well, I told my best friend, as I headed outta town
I told my best friend, as I headed outta town
Keep my home happy, it’s all I got in this world
Feel lonesome, don’t leave me too long
I get so lonesome, don’t leave me too long
Keep my happy home safe, it’s all we got in this world
Rolled this morning, from a dream that won’t let me be
I rolled up this morning, from a dream that won’t let me be
Seemed like the whole world, don’t know right from wrong
Hush, do you hear me call
Hush, hush now, do you hear me call
Keep my happy home safe, it’s all I got in this world

‘Bad Honey’ (Alex Haynes)
Using bad honey, sugar don’t taste no good no more
Using bad honey, sugar don’t taste no good no more
That don’t work for me no, that don’t work for me, alright
I’m getting tired of envy, sure don’t work for me no more
Well, I’m getting tired of envy, sure don’t work for me no more
Well, that don’t work for me no, sugar don’t taste no good no more
Well, there’s something kinda funny, sneaking ‘round while I been gone
There’s something kinda funny, sneaking ‘round while I been gone
I know this room has not been empty
and I think I heard that back door slam
I’m getting tired of envy, sure don’t work for me no more
Well, I’m getting tired of envy, sure don’t work for me no more
I know this room has not been empty,
I think I heard that back door slam
This room has not been empty,
And I think I heard that back door slam
Something kinda funny, sneaking ‘round while I been gone
There’s something kinda funny, sneaking ‘round while I been gone
Well, you’re using bad honey, sugar don’t taste so good no more

You’re a solid sender, and you got me – you do
You’re a solid sender, and you got me – it’s true
If you need me, I’m around
When you want me, I’m always in town
You’re a solid sender, and you got me – you do
If you need someone, I’ll be there
You can call me, I’m always in town
You’re a solid sender, and you got me – it’s true
Oh, tied to you, oh, tied to you
Oh, tied to you, oh, tied to you
You’re a solid sender, and you’ve got me – you do
You’re a solid sender, and you got me – it’s true

‘From Time to Time’ (Alex Haynes)
Won’t you check up on my baby, from time to time
Won’t you check up on my baby, from time to time
Well, if you ever come around sometime,
You might find, find I’m not around
I been out here all alone, while you been gone
I been out here all alone, while you been gone
Now the urge done come and taken me now, honey,
And I’m just bound to roam
Well, I tried to be the one, who’d never turn away,
Just gimme one reason to stay
You know I tried to be the one, who’d never turn away,
Now gimme one reason to stay
Well, if you come around here sometime,
You’ll find, find I’m not around
Well, my heart caught a flat, while you’re motorin’ around
You shouldn’t let your eye look the other way
Well, my heart caught a flat, while you’re motorin’ around
You shouldn’t let your eye look the other way
Now if you ever see my face, darling,
You’ll see there’s nothing but this frown
Come on, from time to time, from time to time
From time to time, from time to time

‘Shed My Sin’ (Alex Haynes)
Wanna get out and shed my skin
Wanna get out and just shed this skin
Just can’t stand this crawling ‘round in sin
Ah, sometimes I feel I just can’t win
I just can’t stand this state I’m in
I said I gotta get out and just shed this skin
Moving slow and drenched in sin
Well the Devil’s hand is reaching out for me
Wanna get out and I just don’t know how
Moving slow and drenched in sin
…can’t stand this state I’m in
Just so tired of crawling round my sin
I said, I gotta get out and just shed this sin
Crawling slow and drenched in sin
Crawling slow and drenched in sin
I wanna get out and shed my skin
I wanna get out and just shed my…
