"What a tremendous voice Carrie has!"--ABC Radio (WJR), by host Frank Beckmenn

"Lady Sings the Blues. The best in classic rock was always that which was derived directly from the blues. Cream. Led Zeppelin. Black Sabbath. These bands knew where it was at and they went there. So it is with Jackie Blue." --JJ Koczan, The Aquarian newspaper, New York and New Jersey

"Aw yeah! I love this band. This girl is a Janis Joplinite without trying to be. She has a voluptuous voice. She's not even trying to be wan and fragile like Dido or Jem. She's rock and roll." --Rev. Billy Jesus, Chicago, Illinois.

1) Track 10 [3:13]

Well here we go again
Macho man with such smooth lines
Did you really plan that
Telling me all your lies
When you felt an advantage
After a drunken blind
Stagger up and stutter
Honey you can't even open your eyes
Mumble something for chatter
And think I'm yours for the night

Chorus
Well, would you know when you see it
Because it's standing right in front of your face
Now, would you know how to handle it
Or would I have to put you in your place
Would you know when you see it
Standing right in front of your face now
Would you know what to do with it
Or would I have to put you in your place

Undressing me with your eyes
Now is that what you call subtle
Whistling and cat calls as I walk by
You kiss your mother with that mouth
I'm sure she'd have a lot of pride
In her little grown angel
Who helps the homeless, don't forget the blind
Whose tongue is like a dagger
If she only new your guise
She'd look at you in a new light, and I'd have to sympathize

Chorus

Let's go get your shit yeah
I'll take you right off the street
Gotta go ask your friends
Now isn't that so sweet
Let's face it honey, I'm the one that you hope you'd never meet
Cause when I get you, you know that I'll knock you right off your feet
Slack jaw liar shaking in your shoes
Prove yourself, now what have you got to loose

Chorus

2) City Nights [3:15]
Never meant that much to you
For all the secrets we knew
Times of trouble and times of pain
Now only memories remain
The years have slipped away
Different places and paths I chose
Always come back the same
To those city nights we rode in vain

Chorus
The nights in the alleys
Driven by our friends
We were part-time lovers
On the city nights
We rode in vain
To ease the madness of
The city nights

I drove by our old place again
And something about it has changed since then
It's the same old places
And the same old things
And the same old memories that they bring
But now they're surrounded by a different light
And I can't help but remember
All those city nights

Chorus

Silence, with everything so loud
A world in which I live is full of doubt
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to go
And looking back now I see
All the deluded memories
That you gave to me
Of the perfect life
Out on the city nights

Chorus
