Clips 1983

If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known me much better
Cause my past is something that never got in my way
Oh no

Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
Oh, 'Cause I never felt the desire 'til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
That's why I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

We wore matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh, I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades, oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of Luckies and a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave
Oh, I combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore a permanent wave, yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

You can get just so much from a good thing
You can linger too long in your dreams
Say goodbye to the "Oldies But Goodies"
Cause the good ole days weren't always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose O.K.
Oh, I heard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyway, oh yes I did
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
Drank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made it with a red-haired girl in the Chevrolet
Oh yeah, we were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith

You know the good ole days weren't always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
Oh, I'm going to listen to my 45's
Ain't it wonderful to be alive
When the rock 'n' roll plays, yeah
When the memory stays, yeah
I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, keeping the faith
I'm keeping the faith, yes I am
You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yes I am
You know I'm keeping the faith, oh you are
(FADE: You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yeah...)

Tv dinners, theres nothin else to eat.
Tv dinners, they really cant be beat.
I like em frozen but you understand
I throw em in and wave em and Im a brand new man, oh yeah.

Tv dinners, theyre goin to my head.
Tv dinners, my skin is turnin red.
Twenty year old turkey in a thirty year old tin.
I cant wait until tomorrow and thaw one out again, oh yeah.

Tv dinners, Im feelin kinda rough.
Tv dinners, this ones kinda tough.
I like the enchiladas and the teriaki too,
I even like the chicken if the sauce is not too blue.

And theyre mine, all mine, oh yeah
And they sure are fine.
Gotta have em,
Gimme somethin now.

Clean shirt, new shoes
and I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
cuff-links, stick pin
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come a runnin' just as fast as they can
cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, Top hat,
And I don't worry cause my wallets fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
lookin' sharp, lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

She likes wearin lipstick, she likes french cuisine
But she wont let me use my passion unless its in a limousine.

She got me under pressure,
She got me under pressure.

She likes the art museum, she dont like pavlovs dog.
She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a london fog.
She dont like other women, she likes whips and chains.
She likes cocaine and filppin out with great danes.
Shes about all I can handle, its too much for my brain.

Its got me under pressure,
Its got me under pressure.

Im gonna give her a message,
Heres what Im gonna say:
its all over.
She might get out a nightstick
And hurt me real real bad
By the roadside in a ditch.

Its got me under pressure,
Its got me under pressure.

Its got me under pressure,
Its got me under pressure.

By the look in your eye I can
tell you're gonna cry
is it over me?
If it is save your tears
for I'm not worth it
you see?
For I'm the type of boy
who is always on the roam -
Wherever I lay my hat
that's my home. I'm
telling you that's my
home.
you had a romance did you break
it by chance over me!
If it's so I'd like for you to know
that I1n not worth it
you see?
For I'm the type of boy
who is always on the roam.
Wherever I lay my hat that's my home
that's my home.
Oh
you keep telling me
you keep telling me I'm your man.
What do I have to do
make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy
who gives a girl the eye
everybody knows

But I love them and I leave them

Break their hearts and deceive them
everywhere I go.
Don't you know that Im the type of man
who is always on the roam?

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

Wherever I lay my hat that's my home

Yeah
that's my home - I don't
like it that way.
You know I canY make it
all alone sometimes that's
the way

That's the way
I'm not saying
I'm not saying I don't love you.
Just got to do what I want to do
that's what I want to do

But I'm not saying
you don't mean nothing to me

I'm not saying that no
no - I just want my way.
You're everything a man could want

But sometimes
oh
have to go my own way.
