These are just my interpretations of the lyrics, so I can't say they're all 100% correct, but hey, I tried. 
Thanks to Jed for help with the Hash Pipe lyrics, to Levi for his help filling me in on various (?)s, to Brandon for the little correction on Smile, and to Davin for pointing out some stuff and aiding me in some more corrections.  :)

DON'T LET GO

Anytime that you want
I'll be here in your arms
Silently holding on to the girl with the charms
But if there comes a day
You should turn your heart away
I'll be down on my knees begging for that girl to stay
Don't let go
Don't let go

Anything you desire
I will set at your feet
With a kiss in the air for the gods to receive
But if there comes a day
You should turn your heart away
I'll be down on my knees begging for that girl to stay

Confrontation's in my mind
Got me running out of time
Don't let go
Don't let go

But if there comes a day
You should turn your heart away
I'll be down on my knees begging for that girl to stay

Confrontation's in my mind
Got me running out of time
Don't let go
Don't let go
PHOTOGRAPH

If you want it
You can have it 
But you gotta learn to reach out there and grab it
Cause everybody wants some love
Shooting from the stars above
And though my heart will break
There's more than I could take
I can never get enough

If you need it
You should show it
Cause you might play so monastic that you blow it
Cause everybody wants some hope
Something they can barely know
And though my heart will break
There's more than I could take
I could never let it go

Chorus:
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph of love

Cause everybody wants a dream
Something they can barely see
And though my heart will break
There's more than I could take
I could never let it be
(chorus)

If you blew it
Don't reject it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Here's the thing about Hash Pipe: Everyone's got a different version of the lyrics.
I have no idea which are the real ones or what Rivers is really saying, so I'll just put em all up and let you decide for yourself.

HASH PIPE
I can't help my feelings I'll go out of my mind
(These players/ spares/ bears / This band's) come to get me cause they'd like my behind
I can't love my business if I can't get a trick
Down on Santa Monica where tricks are for kids

Chorus:
Oh come on and kick me
Whoa come on and kick me
Whoa come on and kick me
You got your problems
I got my (a** wide/ a** wipe/ eyes wide/ eye swipe/ hash pipe)
You got your big G's
I got my hash pipe

I can't help my boogies they get out of control
I know that you don't care but I want you to know
The kneestocking flavor is a favorite treat
Of men that don't bother with the taste of a teat
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
ISLAND IN THE SUN

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I want to feel it too

Chorus:
On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
(chorus)

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

(instrumental)
(chorus)

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
We'll never feel bad anymore
(no no)
We'll never feel bad anymore
(no no)
CRAB

Crab if you wanna
She won't be coming down
Down, down, down, down
Crab if you wanna
She won't be coming down

Crab if you need it
She put her knickers on
On, on, on, on
Crab if you need it
She put her knickers on

She said she's feeling lonely
And I say that's okay
She won't be coming back round here no way
(instrumental)

She said she's feeling lonely
And I say that's okay
She won't be coming back round here no way

Crab at the booty
Tain't gonna do no good
Good, good, good
Crab at the booty
Tain't gonna do no good
Crab at the booty
Tain't gonna do no good
KNOCK DOWN DRAG OUT

Any day now, you'll call me up on the phone
Say you love me more than you ever did before

Chorus:
It's all that I can do right now
I'll make it up to you somehow
I need you on the other side of hope

Take no prisoners here in this knock down drag out war
That we're waging on each other forever more
(chorus)

Say you love me now
(instrumental)
(chorus)

Say you love me now
Take no prisoners here in this knock down drag out war
That we're waging on each other forever more
That we're waging on each other forever more
SMILE

Open the door and let your love come down
Over the wall you're spinning round and round
Cause you wanted some love 
I'll make it happen

Chorus:
Cause I don't wanna break
Your fine face, I can't take
The way you wanna wrap me up 
Inside your smile

Open your heart and let the good stuff out
Water me girl and let me ease the drought
Cause you wanted some love
I'll make it happen
(chorus)

I can't be gone, darling
For very long
Never know what you're gonna do
Standing there deep in front of you
Take a look in between my eyes
Because I'm back
(instrumental)
(chorus)

I can't be gone, darling
For very long
Never know what you're gonna do
Standing there deep in front of you
Take a look in between my eyes
Because I'm back

Give me a chance if you could force yourself
Look at me girl and get up off your shelf
Cause you wanted some love
I'll make it happen
SIMPLE PAGES

Gimme some love, gimme some love, gimme some
I want you to know
Gimme some love, gimme some love, sugar
That's the wrong wrong way to go
Open your arms, open your arms, honey
And come right back home to me
Gimme some love, gimme some love, sugar
That's the wrong wrong way to be

Chorus:
Can't you see
We're to be this time
Simple pages on my mind

Kick it on back, kick it on back
Kick it on back to what you know
Gimme some love, gimme some love, sugar
On the hard rock radio
Where they play tunes, where they play tunes
Where they play riffs with a hard rock beat
Gimme some love, gimme some love, sugar
From the jock with old school beat
(chorus)

Give me something I can believe
(instrumental)
(chorus)

Kick it on back, kick it on back
Kick it on back to what you know
Gimme some love, gimme some love, sugar
On the hard rock radio
Gimme some love
Gimme some love
Gimme some love
Gimme some love
Gimme some
Can't you see you're just me?
Turn these pages of my mind
GLORIOUS DAY

Gonna make my move
Gonna make it stay
Gonna make it last
Never mind the past 
Living for today

Hey, hey, hey
You know what you want me to say
Right right, fight fight
We could start a glorious day

Gonna (do my plans/ take my chance)
Gonna rock and dance
Gonna hit the ground
With a brand new sound
Looking for romance

Hey, hey, hey
You know what you want me to say
Right right, fight fight
We could start a glorious day

Glorious children on my mind
Glorious (wasting summer time/ wastings of my time)
Glorious friends we'd make up forcing things in line
(repeat)

Gonna rock it (down/out)
Gonna scream and shout
Gonna do it right
Standing in the light
(Perching on the clouds/ Flexing all our clout)
Gonna do it right
Standing in the light
(Perching on the clouds/ Flexing all our clout)
Gonna do it right
Standing in the light
(Perching on the clouds/ Flexing all our clout)
O GIRLFRIEND

I miss you and I wonder how you feel about me too
Do you miss the way we would play?
And waste our time away
Suddenly we're apart and I can't see you every night
Though we'd fight I loved you so much
Now I can't feel your touch

Chorus:
O girlfriend
That's the end
And I'm lost without your love

In your arms I was happy as a little boy could be
Taking pills and mellowing out
Now I just want to shout
For your love
Cause I'm drifting further from you everyday
Driving by your place every night
And you still feel alright
(chorus)

Feeling fancies every night
When I dreamed to be alright
Oh love, Oh love
(instrumental)
(chorus)

In your arms I was happy as a little boy could be
Taking pills and mellowing out
Now I just want to shout
Now I just want to shout
Now I just want to shout
CHRISTMAS SONG

You told me you would be here by my side
Warming my heart on this cold winter's night
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself (by myself)
You told me you would move heaven and earth
Cheering my spirits with laughter and mirth
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself

How could you ever know how much I care? (how much I care)
Could you ever know that out somewhere, (that out somewhere)
There's a boy who really hurts? (really hurts)
Since I found you
I found a girl
I found a thorn
I found a queen
Now I am warm
(Repeat)

You told me you would move heaven and earth
Cheering my spirits with laughter and mirth
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself
Here I sit waiting beside the tree all by myself
I DO

All the times you came
I should have ran away
You told me that you'd always love me
You told me that you'd always love me
And the games you played
Were meant to lead me on
You told me that you'd always love me
You told me that you'd always love me
Always
Ooh always, I do
You told me that you'd always love me
You told me that you'd always love me
Always
Ooh always, I do
Never more again will I believe the sun
