Further on up the road Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me. Further on up the road Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me. Further on up the road, Baby, just you wait and see. You gotta reap just what you sow; That old saying is true. You gotta reap just what you sow; That old saying is true. Just like you mistreat someone, Someone's gonna mistreat you. You been laughing, pretty baby, Someday you're gonna be crying. You been laughing, pretty baby, Someday you're gonna be crying. Further on up the road You'll find out I wasn't lying. Further on up the road Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me. Further on up the road Someone's gonna hurt you like you hurt me. Further on up the road, Baby, just you wait and see.

I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind Hate to leave you here babe, but you treat me so unkind I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind Hate to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind I'm going down to the station, catch the first train that I see I'm going down to the station, catch the first train that I see Got the blues 'bout me so, and her son's got the blues about me I'm leaving this morning, my arm fold up and cried Lord I'm leavin' this morning, when my arm fold up and cried Hate to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind

Would you love me tomorrow Like you say you love me now Would you love me, would you love me tomorrow Like you say you love me now When the flames of our flesh have stopped burning And the fire of our love has cooled down Too many times I've given too much Baby, give me your love to me in return Too many times I've given too much Baby, give me your love in return Give me your mind and your heart But please don't leave me with a love that burns And don't use me as your fool 'Cause my heart can't stand another lie Please don't use me, don't use me as your fool Baby, 'cause my heart can't stand another lie And if you can't love me tomorrow Please leave me now in my room to cry

It's hard to love you In fact I barely believe I do It's hard to trust you In fact I don't and you know it too When you go out at night I don't see you til the morning light And I don't ask where you've been Cause I don't care, a quiet night in is fine When you're not around I can get any girl in town You're like torrential rain on my wedding day A thunderstorm on my parade Our romance becomes a charade Worn out and poorly played Let's take centre stage and take a bow You're on your own right now

I've been going crazy You've really got me going out of my head My parents think I'm lazy But I'm too messed up to get out of bed My friends say just be yourself My friends they also talk to themselves I guess love is hard to find Look there goes my mind Back to indecision I really don't know what I should do Cause you clearly want me But I don't know if I want you My friends say get a hold of yourself Get yourself some action or we'll put your ass in traction Did I mention that they talk to themselves? I guess they're right Don't want to go home tonight Well it's gone 11:30 and I'm all by myself I guess it's better than another night at home on my own Then you knock down the door Carrying a chainsaw I hope sleep is the only thing that I will loose tonight

There's a devil on my shoulder That only I can see There's a devil on my shoulder That's only got eyes for me If only you could see him You'd see I'm not a freak He'd like to burn your house down And go dancing in the street There's a devil on my shoulder That's whispering in my ear You think that I'm not listening It's just that I cannot hear Anything you say From night time until day Cause he just won't go away There's a man in California That swears that he's a doctor If you've got a problem He'll take it away, he's always got something for you But all I need is a priest And a bucket of holy water He can hold my hair back As I hold my head under

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes I know you ain't goin' anywhere Run 'round the town singin' your blues I know you ain't goin' anywhere. You've always been a good friend of mine, But you're always sayin' "Farewell" And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well. Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself Or is that what you're tryin' to do? Put up a fight you believe to be right And someday the sun will shine through. You've always got something to hide Something you just can't tell And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well. And I know what you're wishing for Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world Love in a peaceful world You've always been a good friend of mine, But you're always sayin' "Farewell" And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Recording Notes:

"Wishing Well" recorded at Eastlake Studios onto an 8 track cassette recorder, May 2005. Produced and mixed by Sinister Steve. This is the earliest recording of the band and the sheer excitement the three of us had after listening back to it led us to form Heavy Mama.

"Dark Room", "Cosmic Acid Mother", "Come Together" & "Studio Jam" recorded at Eastlake Studios, Perth, April 2006 by a variety of student sound engineers during the band's time at Perth College.

"Further On Up the Road", "Rambling On My Mind" & "Love That Burns" recorded at Sub Station Studios, Dunfermline, October 2006 during a 2 hour recording session. Only one overdub was done on one of these three recordings. Guess which one!

"I'm Not Paranoid..." recorded at Lofi Studios, Glasgow 2008 during a band rehearsal. Mixed and mastered August 2016 by Steven Adamson.

"Hard To Love You" recorded at Lofi Studios, Glasgow, December 2008 in one marathon 4 hour session that involved overdubs of hand claps, guitars, stupidity and vocals. Mixed by Nick Roan.

"Devil On My Shoulder" recorded at SAE Studios, Glasgow, January 2009. Mixed by ?! We went overdub crazy on this one so it's a very rough and lo-fi mix. There's only so much an 8 track machine can handle!
