Menu Of Sin- ©2017- words & Music – Mick Kidd.
V1/ Come and sit down at the table...Pour a drink while your still able
I know you like to dine out, I prefer to eat in...what we got’s a menu of sin
V2/ You won’t bite the hand that feeds ya... Cause all I want to do is please ya
We might only get this one chance before falling from grace-
Or get caught with more than egg on our face!
Chorus/ What’s on the table honey is the menu of sin..
We could end this thing right now-before we begin....
You know you wet my appetite...(This Menu) –Cooking up a real delight....
(This Menu) – Your all I want served up tonight-This Menu Of Sin!
V3/ Knowledge talks & wisdom listens...But who the hell you think were kiddin’?
At this point now in our lives we should know better than this-This menu started just with a kiss
For all the recipes your wishin’...Just take a step into my kitchen
Gonna cook us up a storm...just a table for two, & that’s not all that I’m gonna do.....!
What’s on the table honey is the menu of sin.........We could end this thing right now or we could never give in..................(REPEAT CHORUS)
(SOLO BREAK)
REPEAT ALL OF CHORUS TO FIN.

“GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME” - © 2017- Mick Kidd
Verse1 / (Cold) water is the best of drinks- so all the poets sing
But who am I – that I should have the best of everything?
Let rich men drink their Evian- or herbal infused tea....
‘Cause whiskey, beer or even wine – are good enough for me...
V2/ You may drive a Maserati- or some other foreign car
With leather seats, a walnut dash, a flip-out backseat bar
Stocked up with fancy cocktails...Living high society
Still –whiskey, beer or even wine - are good enough for me...
Bridge/ Ain’t drowning in my sorrows – It’s not what you would think...
To while away the hours.....I like to have a drink! – ( to SOLO)
V3/ Men of the cloth will tell you – How you should live your life
Takes more than fire & brimstone –to turn your wrongs all into rights..
Let preachers talk fall on deaf ears... about sobriety...
‘Cause whiskey, beer or even wine – are good enough for me......(4 X Repeat to FIN.)

“Deja Vu Blues” - © Words & Music – Mick Kidd 2017
V1/ It’s Deja Vu feels like I’ve been here before...
It’s hard to leave though when you can’t find the door
It’s not bad habits , just the life I choose
Late nights , fast women & just playin’ the blues!
V2/ It’s Deja Vu – I’ve been here so many times...
Forgot the address & I can’t read the signs
I’m writing cheques that I can’t cash any more
Can’t even pay attention ‘cause I’m so poor!
Chorus/ A situation that we’ve already seen- but can’t escape it- just try to break it
A French connection that I can’t quite re-call- A situation finally-taken it’s toll!
Solo – ( Harmonica) – Break
V3/ I ain’t good lookin’ and I’m not very smart
Despite all that some-how I still won your heart
But if you leave me you just better be sure...
Don’t break my heart and leave it out on the floor!
REPEAT CHORUS - REPEAT FIRST VERSE –
(Last line ) – It’s not bad habits, just the life I choose
A re-collection and it’s called... De...ja... Vu............

“Cut You Loose” – © Words & Music – Mick Kidd 2017
Verse 1/ South wind blowing ‘round – this old shack....sends a chill - up & down my spine

Remembering a time .......when I thought that you were mine
Chorus/ Cut you loose.......... (I) let you go ...Cut you loose ( REPEAT)
Verse 2/ Don’t want to talk about it now – time to re-arrange....since you’ve been gone
I’ve gone through so much change – I know that I can’t break – Can’t break your heart of stone
Still remembering a time – when we had that happy home
CHORUS
Bridge / Well you thought it didn’t matter – You left me bruised & battered
Only one thing left- yeah ain’t no use.... It’s my time to turn back ‘ round
Peace of mind is what i’ve found – all that’s left for me to do- Is cut you loose
(Harmonica solo)

“LAST FLY IN MEMPHIS” © 2017-WORDS & MUSIC MICK KIDD
V1/- I caught the last fly in Memphis....It’s all I had for breakfast...early morning, Union Avenue
I washed it down with muddy water...from the east side of the border -
Think I bit off, more than I could chew!
Voodoo hex & zombie juice, walk late at night they’ll get set loose-
If you want refuge- find it at Tin Roof!
CHORUS/ -Just to be that fly – upon the wall, - Winter - Spring time- Summer – Fall
That fly in Memphis seen it all......
V2/ - From Beale Street to Peabody Place...I did not recognise a face....
Now what more is a stranger meant to do?
Just hope that someone calls your name ...& get out of the pourin’ rain....
New friends.....drinks...........at Club 152
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE-(Alternate line 2) # The Mojo charms & Jelly-rolls #
#The car park deals- to sell your soul #
SOLO (Harmonica)
V3/ -That girl moved like a spider.....when I sat right down beside her.....
I did not know......what tangled web she weaved
She made a meal right out of me........at Alfred’s bar...I do believe
I lost it all......in Memphis- Tennessee
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE –(Alternate line2)#The lovers-the fighters – the bought and sold.. #
# The Mojo charms & Jelly-rolls #
That fly in Memphis seen it all...............Last fly in Memphis seen it all –SOLO TO FIN.

“Born To Be My Crime” © 2017 -Words-David Blight / Music-Mick Kidd
Verse 1/ If you see me comin’......You’d best get out of my way
If I were you I would leave here runnin’....You’d be a fool to stay
You see – I’ve been thinking up some dishes...some fevered brain delights
Revenge is best served cold they say...And I’ve got you in my sights!
CHORUS/ Heaven knows the reason...In hell they sing the rhyme
I’m on the hunt and you’re in season.....It’s just your time
I’ve got no way of knowing...The how , the when, the where or why
All I really know...is that you know...You were born to be my crime!
V2/ I’m a man of a quiet disposition...I keep it cool most all of the time
Everybody’s got an end their stretchin’....I guess I’ve just reached mine
SOLO
V3/ What I’ve got in mind’s indeed delicious.....Fevered brain’s delights
Revenge is best served cold they say......And I’ve got you in my sights
There’s no need to rush this endeavour....The longer the bake – the sweeter the pie
Let’s take it slow....Savour the moment
(You were) born to be my crime.....born to be my crime.....born to be my crime!!
TO FIN.

“A Waste of Time Well Spent”-© -2016 –words & music – Mick Kidd.
V1/ Well my teacher she did tell me- First time that I went to school
Stop staring out the window child- you got to learn the golden rules...
(So) Got myself an education, by the age of twenty-one...
A waste of time well spent- Now let’s go & have some fun !
Chorus/ A waste of time well spent-but we ain’t done , we ain’t done just yet (Repeat)
V2/ Well your secrets safe with me, I’ll leave your stories all un-told
But would you trust a thief...that can’t be bought or sold...
And I wish that I could tell you-all the things you want to hear
A waste of time well spent, but this is gonna end in tears...
CHORUS (Repeat Twice)- We ain’t done just yet... we ain’t done not yet
(SOLO)
V3/ Kindly take me to the place, to where the blues it does come from
If there ain’t no road to get us there – were gonna make us one...
I went way down past the crossroads, strayed beyond the borderline
But I didn’t hesitate ‘cause it’s a well spent waste of time...
REPEAT CHORUS – TO FIN.

“HEAVEN, HELL OR HARROGATE “-Words & music © 2017 –MICK KIDD
V1/ There’s a place up in the hills........ about an hour from town
Not much happens in the day............but when the sun goes down
Ain’t no store there ain’t no hotel – just one meeting place
Come Friday night’s it’s where the boys all congregate
Ring the bell down at the hall – saying don’t be late
Don’t you know that all the roads here – lead to Harrogate!
V2/ - If your coming from Mt. Torrens , Charleston for a ride
Don’t you miss the turn-off or you’ll head straight back to Woodside
Balhannah – Littlehampton – well your way out of line....
Inverbrackie – Just go past - the” bird in hand” mine!
If you drive around in circles – haven’t sealed your fate...
‘Cause all the roads around here lead(s) to Harrogate!
BRIDGE/- When your sliding on the dirt road- then you hit the tar
Just slow it up a little – now you know where you are
Don’t give me no excuses if you’re running late...
‘Cause – time – stands – still – in heaven, hell or Harrogate!
SOLO
V3/- Heading east from Kanmantoo – on Military Road
The pedals to the metal....and you’ve tightened your load
Keep your eyes glued to the white line – hands upon the wheel
Only one place that you’re going – now your fate is sealed
You don’t need no G.P.S. – in this part of the state
‘Cause all the roads around here – lead to Harrogate
Yes –all the roads around here- lead to Harrogate !!!
