Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

{interlude}

Whoa

I saw her headin' to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all

Had it all
Had it all
Yeah had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Oooh
Had it all

Long Dark Road

It's over, well over
in my mind and in my heart.
It's over, well over,
but then again it didn't have a good start.

You tell me, try to sell me
it could have been all I asked.
It's over, well over
It's there and flows away
A distant past

Now it's a long dark road.
It's a long dark road.
And you know I loved you.
Yes you know I loved you.

{harmonica interlude}

Now it's a long (it's a long)
dark (very long) road (road, road)
Now it's a long (it's a long)
dark (very long) road (road, road)
And you know I loved you
Yes you know I loved you

It's over, well over,
and we can't revive what's past.
It's gone now, moved on now,
but then again it didn't have a chance to last.
No, no, no, a chance to last.

Now it's a long (it's a long)
dark (very long) road (road, road)
It's a long (it's a long)
dark (very long) road (road, road)
And you know I loved you.
Yes you know I loved you.
Now it's a long (it's a long)
dark (very long) road (road, road)
{fade out}
It's a long (it's a long)
dark (very long) road (road, road)
Now it's a long.....

The Air That I Breath

If I could make a wish,
I think I'd pass.
Can't think of anything I need -
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound,
nothing to eat, no books to read.

Making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.
What more could I ask?
There's nothing left to be desired.
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
and to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe,
yes, to love you.
All I need is the air that I breathe.

Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak.
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep.

{Allan Clarke vocal:}
When we were at school our games were simple
I played the janitor you played a monitor.
Then you played with older boys and prefects.
What's the attraction in what they're doing?

{All 3 vocal:}
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
can anybody play?

{Tony Hicks vocal:}
You're always something special to me.
Quite independent, never caring.
You lost your charm as you were aging
Where is your magic dissappearing?

{All 3 vocal:}
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
can anybody play?
Hey Carrie Anne, what's your game now
can anybody play?

{Allan Clarke lead vocal:}
You're so, so like a woman to me

So (so) so like (so) a woman to me
So like a woman to me.

{Graham Nash vocal:}
People live and learn but you're still learning
you use my mind and I'll be your teacher.
When the lesson's over you'll be with me
Then I'll hear the other people saying:
