Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter

Easy Money

(Corky Laing/Ian Hunter)

Once upon a time She was the virgin of a million lonely minds
And now it's such a crying shame She does not even know her name
No-one ever knew All the heavy changes she's been going through
All the sons and lovers on her mind
Cos easy money's hard to find

I've been searching
All night long
You know, she's been searching all night long

Easy money
She gets down on her knees
She's begging you please
Cos she needs
Easy money
She's out on a run
She needs someone can she please

Nightmare rides
A shadow limps across the great sunrise
And steals the hope that lies behind her eyes
In a sense it's hard to find

I've been searching
All Night long
You know, she's been searching all night long

Easy money
She gets down on her knees
She's begging you please
Cos she needs
Easy money
She's out on a run
She's looking for someone to plead
Easy money

Easy money
She ain't no fool
She's breaking her rule
And she knows
Easy money
She's out on a run
She's looking for someone who shows
Easy money
She's out on her own
She's looking for someone to plead
Easy money

Silent Movie

(Corky Laing/Ian Hunter)

Well the school bell rings
I carried your things
Getting on the yellow bus
With the whole world watching us

And our love was like a silent movie
Ain't got nothing to say
Our love was like a silent movie
I wish we could have kept it that way

Now the door bell rings
I'm gonna get my things
Take another bright (?)
At the lion's side

Cause our love was like a silent movie
Ain't got nothing to say
Our love was like a silent movie
That's the all-American way

Silent Movie

And our love was like a silent movie
There's nothing to say
Our love was like a silent movie
And that's the all-American way

And our love was like a silent movie
There's nothing to say
Our love was like a silent movie
I wish we could have kept it that way

Our love was like a silent movie
Silent movie
Our love was like a silent movie
I wish we could have kept it that way

I Ain't No Angel

(Corky Laing/Ian Hunter)

I told my baby girl
That I live by all the rules
She laughed and said to me
Don't you take me for a fool
Then she ran me down
People saw me over town
Then word got back to her
That I was fooling round

I, I ain't no angel
I, I ain't no angel
So good, goodbye love
Good, goodbye love

Now I'm living on my own
Since my baby set me free
Seems I hurt her pride
And caused her misery
She never understands
To keep me satisfied
I got to live this life
The only way I can

I, I ain't no angel
I, I ain't no angel
So good, goodbye love
I said good, goodbye love

All right then, come on

I, I ain't no angel
I, I ain't no angel
So good, goodbye love
I said good, goodbye love

Now they say there is no doubt
That the question in their minds
That I'll be down and out
And the days I'll never find
But you'll never understand
To keep me satisfied
I got to live my life
The only way I can

Singing, I, I ain't no angel
I, I ain't no angel
So good, goodbye love
I said good, goodbye love

The Best Thing

(Corky Laing)

You try to love the way that you did before
But he don't be that loved anymore and I'm
I'm coming from the pouring rain
My eyes are red but they still see through
The feeling that's coming over you
And I'd love to come again (come again)
I wanna love you over again You, you wanna know
You're the best thing that's happening to me
In a long long time
Be wise, open up your eyes
You, you wanna know
You're the best thing that's happening to me
'N I wanna love again.

I try (I try) to put your body right out of my mind
But you keep on coming on and on
I thought it was just for last night
A passing fancy, a bird in flight
But you keep on coming on
So I wanna come again
I wanna love you over again
(I wanna love you over again)
I love to love you over again
You, you, you wanna know
You're the best thing that's happening to me
In a long long time Be wise, I wanna love again
Come on love again
Come on love again
You, you wanna know
Come on love again
I wanna come again
You, you wanna know
You're the best thing that's happening to me

You, you wanna know
You're the best thing that's happening to me
You, you wanna know
You're the best thing that's happening to me
