Ain't Like It Used To Be




Song On The Radio
(B. Richey)

There's something that I've never told you
I'm waiting till the time is right
I always find a reason not to say
Wait till another night

I don't want you to be mistaken
I really need to have you here
I know I'd better find a way to tell you
Before you disappear

But the words just come out wrong
So I keep waiting for a song

Just a song on the radio
The only way I can let her know
Just a song on the radio tonight

I'm sorry if I seem uncertain
It's not like I don't give a damn
I know if you could see inside my heart
You'd finally understand

I've been waiting all night long
I'm still waiting for a song

(Chorus)

Waiting for a song on the radio
The only way I can let her know
A song on the radio tonight
The words will finally come out right

(Solo)
(Chorus)

LABOR OF LOVE
(B. Richey - P. Laferty)

Don't wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Cause you don't really want to know
Don't wanna get down on my knees and beg you please
'til you say you'll never go
Too much fighting
It's been wearing me down

I'm really sorry that I hurt you
There's nothing more I can confide
But I don't want to be controlled or even told
That I'm wrong if I don't try
Time is biding
Keeps me hanging around

Labor of love, stealing me blind
Can't rise above, our foolish pride
Nothing left of, our labor of love

I really wish that things were different
Wish there was something I could say
But I could hang here on a line and waste my time
Just a wishin' life away
Something's missing
Just don't want to be found

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus X 2)

AIN'T LIKE IT USED TO BE
(B. Richey)
Innocence is not enough
Children can't wait to grow up
The faces change, the reasons stay the same

A fact of life you can't avoid
A great big world a little boy
Life's a toy he plays it like a game

But I don't see a thing I recognize
The questions live the answers die
Just blink your eyes and everything will change

It ain't like it used to be
This is all something new to me
I just see what I choose to see
Cause it ain't like it used to be

Such a shame to sacrifice
Childhood is paradise
Run home from school and go outside and play

Guess I missed the point the sun has set
Now it's something I will never get
The meaning changed somewhere along the way

(Chorus)

I'm not going to surrender
This is not my destiny
Oh and I can still remember
This ain't at all like how it used to be

(Solo)
(Bridge)
(Chorus X 2)

DRAGON ATTACK
(B. May)
Take me to the room where the reds all red
Take me out of my head, that's what I said
Take me to the room where the greens all green
And from what I've seen, it's hot, it's mean

Gonna use my stack, it's gotta be mack
Gonna get me on the track, gotta dragon on my back

Take me to the room where the beats all round
Gotta eat the sound in, yea, yea, yea
Take me to the room where the blacks all white
And the whites all back, take me back to the shack jack

She won't take no prisoners,
just gonna give me the business
gotta a dragon on my back,
come on, it's a dragon attack

(Solo)

(Low down), she won't take no prisoners
(Go down), just gonna give me the business
(No time) straight to the rack
(Show time), gotta dragon on my back
(Show down), you better find another customer
(Slow down), gotta make my way...

(Solo)

GIVE IN
(B. Richey - P. Laferty)

Always on condition, holding your suspicion
Handing out your last hand me down
Leave it for another, never need to cover
When you gonna go the round

You don't want to worry, never in a hurry
Put it off as long as you can
There's no need to give in, callin' it a livin'
She doesn't have to understand

Give in, (give out), give up,
Let it go by, oh my, my
Give in (give out), give up
Let it go by

Stayin' within reason,
thinkin' she's believin'
There's no need to open the door
Feel your heart is breaking,
still you keep on faking
Saying you won't give anymore

She doesn't want to leave you,
but she can't believe you
Actin' like you're just making time
Never lose composure, never let her know
You're walkin' on the edge of a line

(Chorus)

Now you've found it's turned around,
and still you will not try
Holding on to acting strong,
you're reaching for a lie
No one knows you, so composed
you let it, let all go by

(Solo)

Did you feel yourself fallin', (oh no)
Would you do it again?, (oh ya)
Now you don't know why

(Chorus X 2)
(Solo)

WITHOUT YOUR LOVE
(B. Richey)
I'm holding on I can't let go,
more than you will ever know
I didn't fall in love to say good-bye
You're missing me I know you are,
baby listen to your heart
Look at me and let your heart decide

Without your love,
baby come back to me
I've been in misery,
without your love to set me free

Without your love

Since you've gone, for all this time,
you thought you'd left this all behind
Picking up the pieces of your life
I know I'm living in the past,
but one more chance is all I ask I can't take another lonely night

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus X 2 )

ALWAYS
(B. Richey)

It's the past we left behind,
that I still picture in my mind
I don't know, am I wrong to call it love?
There's nothing more and nothing less,
no hidden feeling's to confess
But I know, sometimes words are not enough

Blame it all on me, (blame it all on me),
I'll forever take the blame
It's my destiny, (it's my destiny),
to forever feel the same

Always have, always will,
I can't change the way I feel
Always have, always will,
I'm here waiting for you still, I always will

And I still believe it's true,
I wish I didn't but I do

I know I'm seeing something you have never shown
There's a long way to fall if you don't fly,
oh when you're reaching for the sky
I can't forget you when you're all I've ever known

Nothing matters now, (nothing matters now),
I'm at the mercy of a prayer
I can't break my vow, (I can't break my vow),
I still love you and I swear
(Chorus)

I don't know what to do and I can't help but wonder,
how this all became
I'm still trapped in the cast of a spell I found under,
I'll forever feel the same

(Solo)

It's the past we left behind,
that I still picture in my mind
I don't know, am I wrong to call it love?

(Chorus X 2)
