Take It All The Same WRITTEN BY : BOOTLEG SLIM I've got a poem in my brogues a dream under my hat a downtown alley roll-bones sleeping like a rat I drop a coin in the jukebox hear the record play take it easy but take it all the same I found a matchbox cure I dial the number slow and hazy her voice comes through so pure asking, "where have you been lately?" I say, "I can be anywhere if you would name the place," take it easy but take it all the same With the lights down low we share a joke, roll a smoke with her hand in mine she gets that look in her eyes A whisper through a tin speaker behind a barber shop she says, "come on up put your coat over the heater help yourself to a Calvados sit by the window, look out at the rain take it easy but take it all the same With the lights down low we share a joke, roll a smoke with her hand in mine she gets that familiar look in her eyes Black coffee, wireless news hands shaking just to tie my shoes I fix my hat to meet the day I'm in bad need of a shave standing in the doorway smile on her face take it easy but take it all the same take it easy - take it all the same

(I ain't gonna play) Second Fiddle WRITTEN BY : BOOTLEG SLIM Listen woman no I ain't just gonna sit around and grieve I've had enough now pack up your stuff now yes it's time for you to leave I guess you thought that I was pretty dumb the way you're running around town having your fun I ain't gonna play your second fiddle because I'm used to playing lead Yes you may cook me dinner but I'll be washing the plates I guess it was your ambition to be lead astray little did I know how you could misbehave I guess you thought yourself pretty clever cashing all those crooked cheques I ain't gonna play your second fiddle because I'm used to playing lead When I took you to meet me Ma and Pa my little sister said son you've gone too far woman I knew about your wild ways but you didn't have to go and throw them in my face I guess you thought that I must have been blind the way you've been cheatin' on me all the time I ain't gonna play your second fiddle because I'm used to playing lead you're gonna be the one to weep yes go and throw your head down and grieve and when you begin to cry don't go askin' me the reason why I ain't gonna play your second fiddle because I'm used to playing lead you've been jivin' with the alley cats all those feathers you've got in your cap but woman I'm no jealous guy I've just got a strong idea on my mind Yes we'll say goodbye and you won't cross me again just go and call on one of your special friends I ain't gonna play your second fiddle because I'm used to playing lead

(You're) The Woman I Talk About WRITTEN BY : BOOTLEG SLIM When I get my head together I'll write a love letter send it in the first class post this ain't a time for subtlety I'll tell you confidentially you're the one I love the most remember the day we met I was so fixed on you let's get us together figure out what to do when I say there's a special lady you can have no doubt you're that woman that I talk about Don't accuse me of running away you know I mean it when I say I want to treat you right when we're apart I miss ya let me paint you the picture: when we're near, all I do is smile when I'm bragging to the boys about a girl I'd like to get to know when I'm saving up my coins for two tickets to the picture show when I say there's a special lady you can have no doubt you're that woman that I talk about forget the gossip that ya heard from all the jealous boys and girls listen here, I just wanna shout you're that woman that I talk about when I sing my songs all night and I read dusty books by candle light I can't seem to take my rest I've got a fine bottle of wine I'd like to share with you sometime don't say you'd rather be someplace else when my mind gets a-wandering and nobody can hold me down working in a factory like a slave by the hour when I say there's a special lady you can have no doubt you're that woman that I talk about
