Sudden Stop (1990)












Just Came Back lyrics - Colin James

Well I got stones in my pathway
And my road seems dark at night
I got stones in my pathway
And my road seems dark at night
I got pains in my heart
And they've taken my appetite

When I first saw you I heard the angels sing
I thought of Adam and Eve and that love thing
Oh, I was blinded by the light and I just couldn't see
Papa hidin' up in your apple tree
I really hope you're satisfied
I just came back to say goodbye

Girl I found your little black book
You know I opened it up to get a second look
(I had to get a second, second look)
I saw my best friend's name there on the page
Five gold stars beside his name
I really hope you're satisfied
I just came back to say goodbye

I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby

I felt real bad thought I'd give you a call
I didn't look up your number I just looked on the wall
You know your best friend said you'd gone for the night
Goin' downtown with your jeans on tight
I really hope you're satisfied
I just came back to say goodbye

I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby

Show Me lyrics - Colin James

I was standing on the corner
Waitin' for the bus to come
Thinking about you baby
Wondering when I'd get me some

Come on lover, come on lover
Let me come through
Come on show me baby show me
Show me what you can do

Forget about the money
Don't think about the strain
Come inside now out of the cold
And let me take away the pain

Come on lover, come on lover
Now that I'm feeling blue
Come on show me baby show me
Show me what you can do

I see you coming, and you're coming strong
You'll be home before too long
Telling tales of lies and such
Sometimes baby you're a little too much

Come on lover, come on lover
Now that I'm feeling blue
Come on show me baby show me
Show me what you can do

Show me, show me, show me baby, show me baby...
Show me you can

Give It Up lyrics - Colin James

Sing it baby
Now this is how I heard the story, found out [?] go something about you
You came here, I held you tight, suddenly I left you
Don't know how it happened, how I fell for me
Into a [?] our love is gone
Begging on my knees

Give it up
Give me all the loving you got
Give it to me baby while it's still hot
Come on baby give it give it up

Now I maybe wrong but you said everything you told me was true
Now I became to play the game, knew it was old to you
Don't know it makes me different, change in every way
If you leave, I'll never find me another baby

Give it up
Give me all the loving you got
Give it to me honey while it's still hot
Come on baby give it give it up

Give it up

I don't know if I'll ever, ever be the same
But I got nobody but myself, baby

Give it up, give it up
Give me all the loving you got
Give it to me while it's still hot
Come on baby give it give it up

Give it up, give it up
Give me all the loving you got
Give it to me honey while it's still hot
Come on baby give it give it up

Crazy Over You lyrics - Colin James

Lately I just don't sleep at night
Can't seem to get no rest
Always the same old story
And the same old test

Honey please believe me
Believe when I say
There can never be a greater love for me
There can be no other way

But now it's time to rest these weary eyes
I'm tired of all the stories and the lies
Cause there ain't nothing that I would not do

Cause I've gone crazy babe
I've gone crazy over you

Crazy
Over you
Over you
Crazy

Just keep it nice and simple
We'll make it easy as it can
Cause I want you to see I need you with me
You just got to understand

Baby please believe
Believe when I say
There can never be a greater love for me
There can be no other way

But now it's time to rest these weary eyes
I'm tired of all the stories, all the lies
Cause there ain't nothing, nothing that I, nothing that I would not do' oh

Cause I've gone crazy babe
I've gone crazy over you

Crazy
Over you
Over you
I've gone crazy over you
Crazy
Continues...

If You Lean On Me lyrics - Colin James

They say it gets so hot that you could almost scream
This world can be so cold
That sometimes you just don't know
How your gonna survive
Listen baby

I'll always be there for you
Pick you up when you fall
You never needed anyone
You couldn't swallow your pride
Now your back's to the wall

If you lean on me I will lean on you
Put your hand in mine we can make it through
I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm
When it's cold outside I can keep you warm

If you lean on me

The skies get so grey
You think there's no way the sun will ever shine
Trouble resting on your mind with nowhere to find
Listen baby

I'll always be there for you
Pick you up when you fall
You never needed anyone
You couldn't swallow your pride
Now your back's to the wall

You think you're the only one to get kicked around
There's been a lot of hearts broken in this dirty old town

If you lean on me

Lean on me
Lean on me
Lean on me
Lean on me

I'll always be there for you
Pick you up when you fall
Everybody needs a helping hand
You've gotta swallow your pride
Yeah and kick down the wall

If you lean on me I will lean on you
Put your hand in mine we can make it through
I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm
When it's cold outside I can keep you warm

If you lean on me I will lean on you
Put your hand in mine we can make it through
I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm
When it's cold outside I can keep you warm

Sudden Stop lyrics - Colin James

I'm walkin out
We never talked it out
Now she's gone so you can knock it out
I'm all alone so I must do without
All the love that I can't live without

Suddenly
She stopped lovin me
She caught me runnin round and set me free
Now my misery's my company
And I'm needin her sweet love calls me
I guess I had it comin

When a man is being loved
He takes things for granted
Can't see himself falling
He thinks he's on top
But it's not the fall
That hurts him at all
It's the sudden stop

I played around
I did her wrong
And I can't blame that girl for being gone
Well I was cheating on her all along
And I can't blame that girl for being gone
I guess I had it comin

When a man is being loved
He takes things for granted
Can't see himself falling
He thinks he's on top
But it's not the fall
That hurts him at all
It's the sudden stop

Five Long Years lyrics - Colin James

Well I see ya
Holdin' hands with your lover
And you're makin' plans with each other
It fits real good on you

Well don't worry
I didn't come to make things strange
'Cause there's a reason that things change
There's nothin' we can do

And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
You girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same

When you see me
Do you remember the times when we travelled
South of the borderline when love was young
Time was on our side
We danced
In the Rio Grande
And we listened to all the Mexican bands
Singin' songs of love
When our hearts were young, yeah

And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
The girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same

Oh, yeah
Five long years
Five long years

Five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
Things have changed
You see right through my thin disguise

She sees right through me, yeah

You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the sa-a-a-a-a-me
Yes baby
Oh yeah
Five long years
Five long years

Voodoo Thing lyrics - Colin James

Way down south where the mangos grow
A deeper in the swamp down in the Bayou
There's a little story that's a never been told
I found a pretty widow who never grows old
And how she buried her soul with a wedding ring
Trading it off for that voodoo thing

She moves like the wind got a fire in her eye
Well she can bring down rain from the clear blue sky
Make the sun go down with the wave of her hand
Well she can make a king of an ordinary man

She's going to make you dance, she's gonna make you sing
Well she'll give you some of that voodoo thing
Oohh voodoo thing

Like a heart held close to the edge of a knife
One kiss from her lips turns my blood into ice
I tried to run by the light of the moon
I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too soon
Well she made me dance and she made me scream
Did she give me some of that voodoo thing?
The voodoo thing
Oohh my voodoo thing

She'll put a spell on you

Down In The Bottom lyrics - Colin James

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sands so I may keep
This memory of our caravan

This is so exciting, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to all the magic charms of you

You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

This is so exciting, you, you are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to all the magic charms of you

You beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan
Within our desert caravan

Chicks 'n Cars (And The Third World War) lyrics - Colin James

Well get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I said get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I feel danger, trouble all around

I got to have my girl, and a bottle of wine
Ya I got to grab my girl, and a bottle of wine
I got to hit the road
Doing ninety-nine, ah ya yeah
Ooh ninety-nine ninety-nine ninety-nine

Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of living for and that's
Chicks, cars and the third world war

Let's roll
Well get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I said get out of my way, there's something bad coming down
I feel danger, trouble all around
Hey hey ya little girl, we're stepping out tonight
Hey hey hey little girl, we're stepping out tonight
I got to love you once
We better do it right

Do it right, do it right, do it right, do it right, out of sight
Chicks, cars and the third world war

There's only three things worth of living for and that's
Chicks, cars and the third world war

Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of dying for and that's

Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
Chicks, cars and the third world war
There's only three things worth of dying for and that's
Chicks, cars and the third world war

Why'd You Lie lyrics - Colin James

The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close to

And now you're almost full grown
I really should've known
If I left you on your own
You wouldn't do like you're supposed to

Why'd you lie?

Don't want to hear no alibis
Don't want to know the reasons why
You left me here to cry
While you were out there loving him

And now you're acting real nice
You're all sugar and spice
You've already thrown the dice
Your chances are real slim

Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?

You'd better make a correction
To all this deception
And start treating me right
'Cuz we had discussed it
'Til I was disgusted
There's one thing that I have to say
All about sleeping in another man's bed

Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?

The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close to

Why'd you lie several times and end

Hidden Charms lyrics - Colin James

Her lips are sweet, her legs are big
Her looks can make you dance the jig
Her touch is so soft, her heart is so warm
What knocks me out is your hidden charms
Her voice is so soft, her love is so true
I think about her, that's all I do
She's weak and wanton in my arms
What moves me, darling, is your hidden charms

When I hold you in my arms
Brings out all of your hidden charms

Her kiss is so pure as the morning dew
A real gone love is exciting too
Her eyes that talk, they say come on
What kills me, baby, is your hidden charms

When I hold you in my arms
Brings out all of your hidden charms

Bad Girl lyrics - Colin James

I'm in trouble
And there's no denying
I've been seeing double
And I'm no good at lying

I knew I should've left you alone
You knew I had a lover back home
You knew it

You got me running
Sneakin' down the backstreets
Hey you got me hiding
And I see you got a mean streak

Now the news is out all over town
And my world is turnin' over turnin' upside down
You got what you wanted
I'm still bein' haunted
I should've known

You're such a bad girl...
She might treat you bad, but your love is so good
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone

You got me locked up to a ball and chain
Like tryin' to run away from a hurricane..yeah

You're such a bad girl...
She might treat you bad, but you know she loves you good
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
The worst is better than your best now baby
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad

You're such a bad, bad girl
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad

You're such a bad, bad girl
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
Why don't you leave me alone

You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad

Lone Wolf lyrics - Colin James

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf babe
Tonight I'm on the prowl

When I howl you can hear for miles around
When I howl you can hear for miles around
You better watch out tonight the wolf's in town
When you hear me howling, I'm not howling at the moon
I'm crying for some loving and I better get some soon

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf baby
Tonight I'm on the prowl

I'm a lone wolf and I just can't sleep at night
I'm a lone wolf and I just can't sleep at night

Well I'm a real gone dog with a [?] at the tight
Well I'm gonna where she's at
I'm gonna pick her up where she walks at
To the east and on to the west
And I won't settle for second best

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
When you hear me howling
I'm not howling at the moon
[?] of some lovin' and I better get some soon

I'm a lone wolf
Can't you hear me howl
I'm a lone wolf babe and tonight I'm on the prowl
I'm a lone wolf babe and tonight I'm on the prowl

Gone dog

Dream Of Satin lyrics - Colin James

Broken toys are scattered on the floor
And whiskey bottles shrine the living room
She's lookin' out the window
Tryin' to see through the tears that fall

He left the other night without a trace
Goddamn the man he never did no good
She should have left him long ago
But she couldn't get away
Thinkin' that he'd come around
But now he's gone to stay

Do you still dream of satin
Fine china and white lace?
And a man who really loves you
To wipe those tears away

Do you still see the Eiffel tower
And a table set for two?
And if you say yes
If you say yes
It will still come true

Oh hey baby
Hey girl

The years went by so fast she couldn't sleep
How the hands of time have battered her around
And left her lost and lonely

With things that could have been

And a heart that's turned to stone
That won't let nothin' in
And no you won't no you won't
No you won't let nothin' in

Do you still dream of satin
Fine china and white lace?
And a man who really loves you
To wipe those tears away

Do you still see the Eiffel tower
And a table set for two?
And if you say yes if you say yes
If you should say yes
And if you say yes
If you say yes
It will still come true

Hey baby
Aww girl
Say come on come on girl
Come on

It will come true it will come true
It will come true

Devilment lyrics - Colin James (feat. Charlie Musselwhite)

(originally by Paul Reddick)

Sometimes when you look at me
All my troubles cease to be
And you are lovely, you are fine
You've got the devilment on your mind
Oh so fine, a heart so pure
You're alluringly demure
You're the fruit upon the vine
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind

You're so perfect, you're so sweet
You are small with little feet
You are thin as turpentine
You've got the devilment on your mind
Ain't no trouble, ain't no toil
Ain't no cauldron on the boil
There ain't no ax for your grind
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind
You've got the devilment on your mind

I Hope You're Happy lyrics - Colin James

Just like the one I doubt in 3D movie
I didn't get the trip
Keepin' me up in the dark ol' night
Seems to be your special gift

Only you can love me blind
Now I can't read between your lines

This bitter sweet there is no relief and I
I hope you're happy
I know you won't ever worry about me and I
I hope you're happy happy now

Well I hope you're happy
'Till you're jacking all to cut me loose
To hear me made up my mind
But you are sleeping alone and sweep forgiveness
I'm checking all on pride

Only you can take me down
Swallow the earth and you roll me round

This bitter sweet there is no relief and I
I hope you're happy
I know you won't ever worry about me and I
I hope you're happy happy now

Your love's a flaming jacket
Yeah I'm just rolling and rolling around
I'm making an awful racket
You're making like you don't hear no sound

Yeah, hope you're happy now
You're happy
Hope you're happy

Bitter sweet there is no relief and I
I hope you're happy
I know you won't ever worry about me and I
I hope you're happy happy
This bitter sweet it' a pleasure for me and I
I hope you're happy
Doing what time? aren't there no release in all?
I hope you're happy happy now
Yeah, Hope you're happy now
And I hope you're happy now...

It's Gonna Be Alright lyrics - Colin James

I know the money ain't easy
I know know that times are hard
Brother you gotta believe me
There's more to this space then shooting stars

Tic time the moving slowly
Don't you worry bout what you cant change
Have friends you gotta believe me
Try to realize when you're feelin' the strain

Hang on cause it won't be long
Till you feel it inside
It's gonna be alright
Roll on like a rolling stone
Cause I feel it inside
It's gonna be alright

I know you can feel the freedom
I'm free cause I stick it alone
I see the changin' of the seasons
Sometimes the end is only the start of

Hang on cause it won't be long
Till you feel it inside
It's gonna be alright
Roll on like a rolling stone
Cause I feel it inside
It's gonna be alright

You can open your eyes
It's gonna be alright
The world is ours tonight
It's gonna be alright

New york and the city of angels
Hong Kong to Montreal
The same sun is shinning down on us
Hey brother this world is so small

Drive fast on the way to Memphis
Vancouver do you hear the call
I'm not talking about a revolution
Everybody's tryin' to feel this love so

Hang on cause it won't be long
Till you feel it inside
It's gonna be alright
Roll on like a rolling stone
Cause I feel it inside
It's gonna be alright

You can open your eyes
It's gonna be alright
The world is ours tonight
It's gonna be alright
