★ MAN ON A LEDGE ★

HIS COMPANY WENT BADLY
SADLY BELLY-UP BROKE BUST BANKRUPT
OUT OF BUSINESS TOOK A HIT
A SLOW DOWNWARD SPIRAL TO DESOLATION ROW

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
AS THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

CIRCLING VULTURES WAITING FOR A KILL
VAMPIRES LOOKING FOR THE FIRST DROP
OF BLOOD TO SPILL
SAFETY IN NUMBERS THEY WON'T STOP

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
HE WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
AS THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

WHAT BROUGHT HIM TO THIS
A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE THE ECONOMY
WAS IT GREED OR ANOTHER NEED
MADE HIM TAKE THE FIRST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

WHO'S TO BLAME
HOW EVER DID HE ARRIVE HERE
WILL HE WON'T HE WE CAN ONLY WAIT
THE FUTURE'S SO FAR AND YET SO NEAR

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
WHILE THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
THE CROWD BELOW SALIVATES AND GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

Man On A Ledge

Martin H. Samuel wrote the lyric about 'compared to Florida (The Sunshine State), Idaho (where the potatoes grow) is lookin' really good!' then, composed the music and recorded the song.

★ HOWLIN' AT THE MOON ★

WE'RE GOIN' OUT TO IDAHO
WHERE THE POTATOES GROW
HONEY WE'RE LEAVIN' QUITE SOON
BUT IF YOU CALL IT QUITS
THEN I'VE HAD MY CHIPS
AN' I'LL BE A-HOWLIN' AT THE MOON

I'M OVER THIS SUNSHINE STATE
YEAH I CAN HARDLY WAIT
BABY WE'RE LEAVIN' AT NOON
BUT IF YOU SAY NO WAY
AN' YOU WANNA STAY
I'LL BE A-HOWLIN' AT THE MOON

HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
DON'T LET ME DOWN DON'T TURN THIS DREAM AROUND
HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
I DON'T NEED TO BE HOWLIN' AT THE MOON

IF WE DON'T GO TO IDAHO
WHERE THE POTATOES GROW
DARLIN' DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO
I CAN'T STAND THE STRAIN
IT'S DRIVIN' ME INSANE
AND I'M A-HOWLIN' AT THE MOON

IF WE LOAD THE LUGGAGE IN THE CAR
AN' HIT THE ROAD IT AIN'T THAT FAR
NO IT AIN'T SO FAR TO GO
WE'LL BE THERE BEFORE YOU KNOW
AN' I WON'T BE I WON'T BE NO I WON'T BE

A-HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
DON'T LET ME DOWN DON'T TURN THIS DREAM AROUND
HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
I DON'T NEED TO BE

HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
DON'T LET ME DOWN DON'T TURN THIS DREAM AROUND
HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
I DON'T NEED TO BE HOWLIN' AT THE MOON

HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
DON'T LET ME DOWN DON'T TURN THIS DREAM AROUND
HOWLIN' AT THE MOON HOWLIN' AT THE MOON
I DON'T NEED TO BE HOWLIN' AT THE MOON

★ SEX APPEAL ★

YOU TURN ME ON
WITH JUST ONE LOOK
CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
BABE I'M HOOKED

I'M NOT TALKIN' ABOUT LOVE
I DON'T MEAN AFFECTION
TALKIN' ABOUT
PHYSICAL ATTRACTION

YOU GOT SEX APPEAL THE WAY YOU WALK
SEX APPEAL THE WAY YOU TALK
ANIMAL PASSION YOU'RE UNREAL
CAN'T RESIST YOUR SEX
APPEAL SEX APPEAL

YOU STOP ME COLD
IN MY TRACKS
YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY
AN' THAT'S A FACT

I'M NOT TALKIN' ABOUT LOVE
I DON'T MEAN AFFECTION
TALKIN' ABOUT
PHYSICAL ATTRACTION

YOU GOT SEX APPEAL THE WAY YOU WALK
SEX APPEAL THE WAY YOU TALK
ANIMAL PASSION YOU'RE UNREAL
CAN'T RESIST YOUR SEX
APPEAL SEX APPEAL

YOU'VE GOT A BODY LIKE NO ONE I KNOW
THE FACE OF AN ANGEL AN' THE DEVIL IN YOUR SOUL

YOU GOT SEX APPEAL THE WAY YOU WALK
SEX APPEAL THE WAY YOU TALK
ANIMAL PASSION YOU'RE UNREAL
CAN'T RESIST YOUR SEX
APPEAL SEX APPEAL

YOU GOT SEX APPEAL SEX APPEAL SEX APPEAL

YOU GOT SEX APPEAL
YOU GOT SEX APPEAL SEX APPEAL SEX APPEAL

★ CAN'T STAY MAD ★

CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

MAKE ME A PROMISE STAYS UNBROKEN

HEARD IT SAID THEN COME TO FIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS REALLY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

SHOW ME A DREAM I CAN CLING TO
FAIRY TALES THEY DON'T RING TRUE
MAYBE I READ THEN COMES TO MIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS TRULY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH-OH

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD

NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD YEAH YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH-OH

Can't Stay Mad

★ THE MAN IN THE MOON ★

RAINY DAYS I'VE HAD MY SHARE
THE OUTLOOK AIN'T ALWAYS FAIR
SEARCHIN' FOR A WAY REACHIN' OUT FOR YOU
'TIL YOU RETURN AN' MAKE THE SUN SHINE THROUGH
AN' I FIND MYSELF

TALKIN' TO THE MAN IN THE MOON
TELLIN' HIM I'M MISSIN' YOU
WALKIN' WITH THE MAN IN THE MOON
WONDERIN' IF HE'S EVER BEEN THIS BLUE

LONELY NIGHTS I'VE KNOWN A FEW
THAT COLD COLD WIND IT CUT RIGHT THROUGH
LOOKIN' FOR THE GOOD HOPIN' FOR THE BEST
WANTIN' ALL YOUR LOVE GETTING BY ON LESS
AN' I FIND MYSELF

TALKIN' TO THE MAN IN THE MOON
TELLIN' HIM I'M MISSIN' YOU
YEAH I'M WALKIN' WITH THE MAN IN THE MOON
WONDERIN' IF HE'S EVER BEEN THIS BLUE

EMOTIONS WASH OVER ME IN WAVES
FEELIN'S SO DEEP I COULD DROWN
ONLY YOU CAN SAVE ME NOW
FROM GOIN' DOWN
DOWN DOWN DOWN
I'M GOIN' DOWN
I MIGHT DROWN

AND I'M TALKIN' TO THE MAN IN THE MOON
TELLIN' HIM I'M MISSIN' YOU
WALKIN' WITH THE MAN IN THE MOON
DOES HE EVER GET THIS BLUE

TALKIN' TO THE MAN IN THE MOON
TELLIN' HIM I'M MISSIN' YOU
WALKIN' WITH THE MAN IN THE MOON
WONDERIN' IF HE EVER GETS THIS BLUE
HAS HE EVER BEEN THIS BLUE

The Man In The Moon

'She Lives In Denver' is a true tale about Gloria Eades – then, a Western Airlines flight attendant living in Denver – whom Martin met and dated in Hawaii when he was playing drums in Cactus Jack, with Keith Zeller (guitar) and John Overly (bass), at The Green Rose on Lewers Street, Waikiki.

By chance, they met again 15 years later in a restaurant in Mainz, Germany and picked up where they left off – only to part company once more after 6 months.

The song was recorded by Martin (acoustic guitar) and Paul Bull (piano & vocal) at Studio One, owned by Doug Casady, in West Seattle, Washington – where, along with; Doug (guitar), Richard (guitar) & Goldy McJohn of Steppenwolf (keyboards), Martin (drums) & Paul (bass) worked on original songs.

★ SHE LIVES IN DENVER ★

SHE LIVES IN DENVER
THO' I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE
SAID I WOULD MAKE IT MY HOME
I COULD NOT FORGET HER
WHEN ALL OF HER LETTERS
SAID SHE COULDN'T MAKE IT ALONE

THE DAYS SPENT TOGETHER
WERE BETTER THAN EVER
IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
I QUIT MY JOB SOLD MY CAR
BOUGHT A ONE-WAY FARE
I WAS LEAVIN' NOTHIN' BEHIND

IN A WORLD FULL OF PEOPLE
YOU'D THINK IT EASY
FINDIN' SOMEONE TO LOVE
WITH A HEART THAT CARES
AN' LOVE TO SHARE
OR IS THAT WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

SHE LOVES IT IN DENVER
WITH WOOD FIRES IN WINTER
AN' STARS IN THE SUMMER NIGHT SKIES
BUT I'LL NEVER KNOW
AS I HUNG UP THE PHONE
SHE SAID HONEY THIS IS GOODBYE

IN A WORLD FULL OF PEOPLE
YOU'D THINK IT EASY
FINDIN' SOMEONE TO LOVE
WITH A HEART THAT CARES
AN' LOVE TO SHARE
OR IS THAT WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

SHE USED HER RIGHT
CHANGED HER MIND OVERNIGHT
THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE SHE SAID
GUESS I'M IN THE WRONG
I WAITED TOO LONG
NOW I'M MOVIN' TO L.A. INSTEAD

AN' SHE LIVES IN DENVER

★ RED BANNER, NO QUARTER ★

EARLY ON A COLD MARCH MORNING
 A HANDFUL OF MEN THEY TOOK A STAND
 IN THE YEAR OF EIGHTEEN THIRTY SIX 
WHEN A SABRE DREW A LINE IN THE SAND

AND IT WAS SANTA ANNA WHO GAVE THE ORDER
 FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
 SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER 
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER

EVEN AS THE DAY WAS DAWNING 
ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE MEN STOOD THEIR GROUND
 THIRTEEN DAYS IN SAN ANTONIO 
SUCH A FEARFUL SIGHT A DREADFUL SOUND

WHEN SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER
 FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
 SANTA ANNA HE GAVE THE ORDER
 FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER

IT WAS VICTORY OR DEATH FOR THE VALIANT FEW 
OUTNUMBERED AND OUT-GUNNED 
AS SURRENDER AND BE SPARED AN ULTIMATUM THEY KNEW 
WITH A CANNON SHOT BY TRAVIS IT WAS SHUNNED

SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER
 FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER 
SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER 
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER

A BLOODY BATTLE TO THE BITTER END 
WHILE THE MEXICAN BAND PLAYED EL DEGÜELLO 
NOW THE GUNS ARE SILENT AND THE SMOKE HAS CLEARED TO THIS DAY TEXIANS ALL SAY REMEMBER THE ALAMO

IT WAS SANTA ANNA WHO GAVE THE ORDER 
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER 
SANTA ANNA GAVE THE FINAL ORDER 
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
