Hocus Pocus
A pocket full of spells
You can do hoodoo
Scratch a coin on the wishing well
Magical potions
Zodiacal signs
A cosmic commotion
Blackbirds in a pie
One Ticket, One Ride (x4)
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Running out of sand
Waitin’ at the station
Yeah, with a ticket in my hand
Instamatic moolah
A stash o’ cold cash
Maybe a million gazillion
Nah, too bad I’ve got to play again
One Ticket, One Ride (x4)
Never you mind
If the nickel fails
You can keep on playing
‘Til your lucky day
One Ticket, One Ride (x4)

I'm Gonna Ride
04:01
|

|
I ain’t gonna play it your way
I want no part of this dirty game
‘I know the deal’ said the Ace to the Knave
‘This deck is stacked, and you’re two faced’
Now I’m gonna ride
I’m gonna pack up this broken home
I’m gonna ride away from here
I ain’t gonna grant you the high
Of being the one on whom I’ve come to rely
I’ll you something, that won’t mystify
If you see my ass, I’ll be waving bye-bye
Now I’m gonna ride
I’m gonna pack up this broken home
I’m gonna ride away from here
(Inst.)
I’m gonna leave all the things I don’t need
I’ll lock the doors and the windows, and mail you back the keys
This situation is one I can’t win
Either you’re turning me down or you’re turning me in
Now I’m gonna ride
I’m gonna pack up this broken home
I’m gonna ride away from here

Working My Way Back Home
06:04

I’m just working my way back home
I’m just working my way back home
I ain’t ever been there before
Working my way back home
Was it there in the music they played
Was it there in a lover’s embrace
This place that I’m searching for
Working my way back home
With every little move that I make
With every little step that I take
There’s a place that I’m searching for
Working my way back home
I’m just working my way back home
I’m just working my way back home
I ain’t ever been there before
Working my way back home
If my spirit should rise to the sky
I’m preparing the whole of my life
There’s a place that I’m searching for
Working my way back home

Feel Like A King
06:14

|
Well I feel like a king
When I hold my woman tight
And I feel like a king
When I love that woman right
I can’t understand
Just what kind of a man
Wanna rule everything
I feel like a king
In the freedom of my music
I feel like a king
Any ol’ time that I use it
I can’t understand
Just what kind of a man
Wanna rule everything
I feel like a king
When I see my brand new baby child
I feel like a king
When I see that baby smilin’
I can’t understand
Just what kind of a man
Wanna rule everything

Big Machine

Seven until seven
I work the big machine
Never seeing daylight
you know it ain’t for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah – I want a brand new scene
So I’m eyeing off the clock
As it’s chasing number three
Every hour I spend
Feels like a million years
Yeah, yeah, yeah – I want a brand new scene
So I’m working on a plan
To get me off the big machine
I want to look at smiling faces
I want to have a place to go
I want to have a pretty baby
And spoil her with my dough
Yeah, yeah, yeah – I want a brand new scene
So I’m working on a plan
To get me off the big machine
I don’t need my name in lights
And I don’t have to be a big wheel
I just want to stay up all night
If that’s the way I feel
Yeah, yeah, yeah – I want a brand new scene
So I’m working on a plan
To get me off the big machine

Souldigger
06:38

|
I was born in the country
I was raised on the land
In a house that would shake by the train line
I’m the son of a railroad man
Well soon I developed this notion
That my own town just couldn’t use me
I was small, I was dumb, I was dreaming
There was some place I would rather be
So I moved around ‘til I found what would suit me
Moved by the sounds going down in the city
Souldigger
Guitar picker
I was born in the country
Come the time I was spanking a six string
The only thing that I seemed to get right
Working my day gig in the week time
And just jamming these blues in the night
Well I nursed it, sometimes I cursed it
There were times when I nearly gave up
I’d play upstairs and downstairs, Melbourne to Memphis
Just had to get me a start
So I moved around ‘til I found what would suit me
Moved by the sounds going down in the city
Souldigger
Guitar picker
I was born in the country

Little Big Men

Hey little big men
You’d better watch yourself, better watch yourself
Yeah little big men
I just might come on after you myself
Hey little big men
With my sticks and my stones
Yeah little big men
I want to be the one to knock you off of your throne
Well you’re just like the devil
I know just who you’re trying to please
I’ve seen you dancing to his evil
So why don’t you come clean?
Hey little big men
You’d watch yourself, better watch yourself
Yeah little big men
I just might come on after you myself
Well you’re just like the bogey-man
You’re just like some kind of ghoul
You frighten all the little children
So what am I supposed to do?
Hey little big men
You’d better watch yourself, better watch yourself
Yeah little big men
I just might come on after you myself

supported by 4 fans who also own “20th Anniversary Session”
Incredible passion in his music... the singing is great, ans his command of the Hammond Organ is off the Charts! If you can't get into the groove listening to Lachy, you better check your pulse... His cover of Gimme Some Lovin is off the hook, and Voodoo Child is an exploration in new and creative was to properly abuse a Hohner Whammy Clavichord!
