Have you ever had a woman that could make you crazy
Have you ever had a woman that could drive you mad
Have you ever had a woman give you so much trouble
And the best loving you ever had
My friends all say Im losing it big time
But I know where Ive got to go
Im going back there again
Im going back there again
Im going back there again
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rolling
Have you ever seen a train coming down the track
Have you ever jumped into the cold, cold never
And know theres no turning back
My friends all say Im crazy, baby
But I know where Ive got to go
Im going back there again
Im going back there again
Im going home
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a weight that was much too heavy
Have you ever had a burden that was yours alone
Have you ever spent a night when you keep on waiting
Staring at the telephone
Youll always be my inspiration
I love you from afar |
Cold beer and a strange cigarette
Getting you high getting you wet
Falling in love falling out of debt
Straight gay black or white
Strutting in the dark hiding in the light
Doing it wrong doing it right just doing it
You got your life on the one hand
Mine in the other
I got the right we all got the right
One mans meat is the other mans lousy luck
One mans meat is someones empty well
One mans meat is some guys aching butt
One mans meat is another mans living hell
Short fat thick or thin
Take it in the gut take it on the chin
Living in glory living in sin
Hard days work going down slow
Riding the road where the greengrass grows
Watching in die what dyou know
Watch it
One mans meat is the other mans lousy luck
One mans meat is someones empty well
One mans meat is some guys aching butt
One mans meat is another mans living hell |
Sweet child in time, youll see the line
The line thats drawn between, the good and the bad
See the blind man, hes shooting at the world
The bullets flying and theyre taking toll
If youve been bad, Lord I bet you have
And youve not been hit by flying lead
Youd better close your eyes, youd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
Sweet child in time, youll see the line
The line thats drawn between, the good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying theyre killing everyone
If youve been bad, Lord I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, youve not been hit by flying lead
Youd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
I need |
I know youre the only one who understands
Afore ye go, before you leave
You always shake my hand
Even when Im crazy, on fire and naked
Just as Nature intended
No style but easily blended
You always know where Ill be found
Hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down
Dont want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
Im dreaming
I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl
When I look up, the Devils looking back
From the mirror on the wall
You can open the door
Got my feet stuck to the floor
I may have lost my way
But I didnt get where I am today
You spin into my empty room
And once again Im almost human
Almost human |
Cry Free
Pass your mother, lose your brother
Be a lover, too
Well all together make it better
You gotta cry free
Bridges burnin, eyes are turnin
Now theyre learnin fools
Theyre gonna talk it over
While theyre talkin
You gotta cry Free
Cry free
Fists are shakin, homes are breakin
Know whats makin blues
Oh true convictions, satisfaction
While you cry free |
I’ve been watching you dancing all night long
Your legs go on forever
Exquisite synchronicity, they never stayed together
My head’s spinning, keeping focused on my mind and building this
I don’t know who you are but I’m enslaved to make your service
Makes you fall in line
A moving silhouette
It’s your body line
You do that thing you read
Make you fall in line
Clearly defined
It’s your body line
A perfect outline, so divine
Chilling to half it must’ve been hazy
Smoking my eye a poppin
Fight for your country, you got something to gain
No one but Mike Jones driving
Girl come in and out, my excuse to get me is in danger
No will but that’s like just emptied it
Wouldn’t want to be disillusion
Makes you fall in line
So heavenly ashamed
It’s your body line
My oh my, oh my, oh my
Make you fall in line
A perfect outline, so divine
Body line
When we’re moving, connection
Well bring me to the main view
It seems to want distraction
But what I need |
Dont get me started, lets get it right
Theres no use to talk about it deep into the night
Dont ask about secrets I could tell
Im gonna keep them to myself
No bad decisions, no good advice
No time to think about it even once or twice
No second chances looking down the road
When theres the only way, only way to go
Oh it makes me wonder
Whats going on inside my head
Well could it be the pressure that Im under
Makes me forget the things I never said
I cant remember, I cant forget
Take it from me theres not a moment of regret
Since the day I learned to tie my shoes
I found it hard to spread the news
Oh it makes me wonder
Whats going on inside my head
Well could it be the pressure that Im under
Makes me forget the things I never said
Its hard to swallow, its hard to take
When I think about it now my knees begin to shake
Never came to me to mention at the time
Tell the truth it never crossed my mind
Oh it makes me wonder
Whats going on inside my head
Well could it be the pressure that Im under
Makes me forget the things I never said
Oh it makes me wonder
Whats going on inside my head
Could it be the pressure that Im under
Makes me forget the things I never said |
Hallelujah
I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found
I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young, the message can be sung
Let me hear you sing hallelujah
Oh, tell it to the man whose power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope youll soon be justified
There is a better way of life and its not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind
I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young, the message can be sung
Hallelujah |
Ive got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday
Im just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun
Seven days and seven nights
Working till you got it right
Dont help me Ill help myself
Ill pull some crackers off the shelf
She had her hair done yesterday
Now shes coming out to play
First you pull and then you push
Two in the hand and one in the bush
Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say weve
Been invited
Now were going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Some will rise and some will fall
Some will come to nothing at all
The strangest people have the power
To lead me to my darkest hour
How can you be sure its me
When its payment on delivery
Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say weve
Been invited
Now were going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Now my love is
Richer than rich
Cause I studied
Mathematics
Graduated
Without honours
Everyone has
Gone Bananas |
Everything went wrong
Im sorry boys, Ive got to let you go
Weve had some hard times
And the long rain, it didnt show
Hired hands, Ive seen them come and go
But you dont come much better
Todays Blue Monday
I just got a bad news letter
This day has come
The darkest cloud on our horizon
My hands are tied down
To that promise note I signed upon
Always been this way
Its the poor man who gets hurt
All you ever work for
Is to leave your footprints in the dirt
You work your fingers to the bone
The deed is done
The fruit will fall to someone elses hand
Thats how the land lies
Now we all know where we stand
Youll have to walk away
Dont let them see you running
Todays Blue Monday
I should have seen it coming
You work your fingers to the bone
If sweat and tears were all it took
To make this valley green
Wed be alright but now its gone
Theyve taken everything
They say its just an act of God
And thats the way ill wind blows
Youve got thirty days to pack your bags
Say goodbye, hit the road
You work your fingers to the bone |
Consider your position position your defense
Why dont you let me ask you is it mere coincidence
Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train
Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain
Listen to the wind - a silent scream
Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
And theres a time for peace a time for war
Wondering what weve been put here for
A time for giving a time to take
A time for love and a time for hate
A time for beg and a time to steal
So you gamble on that spinning wheel
Of all these things Ive had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got
You thing youve got the given right to take another shot
Ill take away your money all youve got is coloured beads
Find a piece of land where you can sow your seeds
Theres a time for passion a time for pain
A time to learn that were all the same
A time to remember a time to forget
Wondering how were going to pay our debts
A time for thunder a time for rain
Waiting for the seasons to change
Of all these things Ive had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill |
My clothes dont fit and I have no point of view
I got a bad reputation but I dont believe its true
I had something going but I blew it down the can
Not exactly what I planned
Im a ramshackle man
Thats what I am
I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack
Shuffling around never get to the top of the park
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldnt give a damn
Im a ramshackle man
Thats what I am
I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do
I start out fine then I pick up something new
Stumbled through the door thats how it all began
Now its buried in the sand
Im a ramshackle man
Thats what I am
The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than Im feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now Im second hand
I do what I can
Im a ramshackle man
Thats what I am
Im a ramshackle man
Thats what I am |
Youre so extreme, youre super heavy
Youre one step over the line
Not what you seem, dont try and tell me
I know whats really on your mind
Once you get started youre out of control
Dont play that sweet and innocent with me girl
I know you know you want to rock and roll
But I got just what you need
I, I want to feel your love
Too much is not enough
I, I want to feel your touch
Too much is not enough
Youve got it bad, youre hopelessly addicted
Youre always searching for the cure
Love is the crime, you stand convicted
You keep on coming back for more
Come on admit it, youre over the top
That song and dance wont work with me girl
You just cant quit it, dont know when to stop
But I got the remedy
Baby stop wasting time
And let me know that youre mine
I need to feel your embrace
How much can I take |
Some say the state of Texas
Could accommodate the entire human population
Five point six billion versions of the truth
Under one roof, some revelation
Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that
Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat
Theres no going back
Its a lie, its a fact
Has the cat got your tongue
Been too long in the sun
Theres dust on your tracks
Theres no going back
Come to think of its a load of monkeys
Every time you listen to your sun kissed lovers words
Evil Louie is tomorrows sadness
Its a game of madness in a perfect world
Some would say French cuisines more appealing
Than a cold drink, burgers and fries
Some have said that a pillar of society
An upright citizens incapable of lust and crime
Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that
Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat
But he dont stand a change
With his pants around his ankles |
One day Ill get home before the sun hits the blinds
And give you - Ill give you something to remember me by
Thats the way I am
Its what I got in mind but I dont know if I can
You gotta shoot your gun - dont expect me to dance
Hold me up to the spotlight but
Dont, dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
These empty pockets are my deepest friends
Full of nothing but good intentions
Thats the way it is
It may not be much but I can blow you a kiss
Ive been wrong - Ive been wrong once before
Ill be all right tomorrow but
Dont, dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
I may be Lazy or a Living Wreck
I wont be swayed by your expectations
Thats the way it is
It may not be much but you know what to kiss
Ive been wrong - Ive been wrong once before
Ill be all right tomorrow but
Dont, dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath |
Emmaretta
Did you get my letter
I sent it to you
Oh, Emmaretta
Do you still feel
When night is falling
Somethings calling
Oh, Emmaretta
Behind my thoughts
Oh, Emmaretta
I can get to you
To feel better
I must go now
Oh, Emmaretta
Full moons rising
Oh, Emmaretta
Oh, its a thousand miles
Oh, and I need you, child
Oh, they can drive me wild
What I feel and make it real |
Pass your mother, lose your brother
Be a lover, too
Well all together make it better
You gotta cry free
Bridges burnin, eyes are turnin
Now theyre learnin fools
Theyre gonna talk it over
While theyre talkin
You gotta cry free
Cry free
Fists are shakin, homes are breakin
Know whats makin blues
Oh true convictions, satesfaction
While you cry free |
Somebody tell me
Why Im talking to myself
I never listen to a word I say
Nor does anyone else
Somebody ask me
If I have any doubt
Maybe yes, maybe no
Its something to think about
The first sign of madness
Is talking to yourself
When Im deep in conversation
Boy it sure is hard to tell
Youre going to have to put me down
You dont know where Ive been
You cant imagine in your wildest dreams
The kind of shit were in
Rambling on again
No-ones listening
On and on again
Dont believe a single word |
If I could see before my time ends
The smile you gave me before the pain
I could accept the world of darkness
Never see the sun again...
Never ever gonna leave ya
So dry your eyes and smile again
Say the words I need to hear...
Say you love me, say you love me
Say that you need me
I cant take it anymore...
But I know I must be strong
To keep belive in right or wrong...
Ive got time but I cant wait too long
Wanna get you home where you belong...
Say you love me, say you love me
I cant take it anymore...
Say you love me, baby, baby, baby
Say you love me...
Say that you need me, I cant take it anymore...
Say you love me, say you love me
I cant take it, I cant take it anymore...
Say you love me, oh baby
Say you love me...
Say that you need me, I cant take it anymore...
I cant take it anymore... |
In the shadow of the whole
Where my door used to be
You never give up, you want more out of me
Come on in, help yourself
Scratch around over these empty shelves
There’s nothing else that I can see except a string of these in some old bowery
You rip flesh from a bone
You sip blood from a stone
I will consider a life of crime
So I can feed these kids of mine
And should I fall down, should I fail
I’ll spend the rest of my days in some stinking jail
I won’t know who left me to your side
Stripped of my dignity low and dry
Uh that’s damn nothing
Uh, I don’t care
You rob me blind without a gun
How can you sleep after what you’ve done?
There’s nothing but darkness deep in your soul
There’s no reflection, it’s dark and it’s cold |
Got a black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain thats going to make me wise
Got a long story that I want to tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of loving that I want to give
Baby Im a mystery but you know I got to live
I tried another, she didnt want to know
Oh no no no
Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from a hard loving man
Im a long way from where I want to go
Guess Ill stay a while, I really love you so
Hows about another sip of all the wine youve got
Take a tip from me and give it here, Ill drink the lot
Im not a winey, Im putting on a show
Wah no no no
You really grab me but I got to move
Before they know Im here and spread the news
Maybe in while when I move around
I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds
Really got a lot of loving that I wan to give
Baby Im a mystery but you know I got to live
I tried another, she didnt want to know
Oh no no no
Got a black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain thats going to make me wise
Got a long story that I want to tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of loving that I want to give
Baby Im a mystery but you know I got to live
I tried another, she didnt want to know
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no |
Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin in the house of blue light
Tutti frutti was oh, so rooty
When she was rockin to the east and west
Lucille was oh, so real
When she didnt do her daddys will
Come on baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it
Im a speed king, you got to hear me sing, yeah
Im a speed king, see me fly
Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about, aint gonna save
Some people gonna rock, some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard-headed woman and a soft-hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice, take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans
Im a speed king, you go to hear me sing
Im a speed king, see me fly
Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin in the house of blue light
Tutti frutti was oh, so rooty
When you rockin to the east and west
Some people gonna rock, some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Come on baby, drive me crazy, do it, do it
Im a speed king, you go to hear me sing, yeah
Yeah, Im a speed king, see me fly
Im a speed king, you go to hear me sing
Yeah, Im a speed king, see me
Im a speed king, you go to hear me sing
Im a speed king, see me |
I got my feelers out
Pleasure I can give you pain
Im the demon of misfortune
Let me tell you that bad luck is my game
Fires burning make you cold
You can touch but you cant hold
Its an even split
Between zip and the number on your ticket
Nothing to brag about dragging in the dirt
Im a nasty piece of work
Down get down on your knees
Running gonna bring you down
Im the demon of disorder
You know Im gonna drive you into the ground
As youre stepping through the door
My shadow crawls across your floor
Your dream of love
Its not enough its gonna come to nothing
You aint seen nothing its gonna get worse
Im a nasty nasty
Its an even split
Between zip and the number on your ticket
Your dream of love
Its not enough its gonna come to nothing
Nothing to brag about dragging in the dirt
You aint seen nothing its gonna get worse |
As you watch from your house on the hill
World keeps spinning around you youre standing still
And a thought rivers enters your mind
Something happened once in my life
A fading picture of you thats so hard to describe
Ive been where the sun never shines
Thats alright theres a change in the story
Thats alright theres a change in the plan
A twist in the tale
Face in the mirror head in the clouds
Hanging on to a dream that you cant do without
As it drops like a stone without trace
Give what you want take what you need
Squeezing so hard theres no room to breathe
And your flavour has fallen from grace
I saw you dancing
Dancing on air
You were lost in the in the starlight
No one but me really cared
Every question turns out a lie
Cant you swallow the truth for once in your life
I loved you but dont ask me why
Its alright theres a change in the story
Its alright theres a change in the plan
A twist in the tale |
Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always have a ball on Mars
With meeting all the groovy people
Weve rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealis
Were space trucking round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go Space trucking
Come on, come on, come on, Space trucking
Remember when we did the moonshot
And Ronny Trekker led the way
Wed move to the Canaveral Moonstomp
And every naut would dance and way
We got music in our solar system
Were space trucking round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go Space trucking
Come on, come on, come on, Space trucking
The fireball that we rode way moving
But now weve got a new machine
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! the frenks say
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
Theyve rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around with Borealis
Theyre space trucking every day
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go Space trucking
Come on, come on, come on, Space trucking |
Well, if you hear somebody knocking on your door
If you see something crawling across the floor
Baby, itll be me, and Ill be looking for you
If you see a head a-peeping from a crawdad hole
If you see somebody climbing up a telephone pole
Baby, itll be me, and Ill be looking for you
Going to look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea
Going to search all the forests and look and look in every tree
Well, if you feel something heavy on your fishing hook
If you see a funny face in your comic book
Baby, itll be me, and Ill be looking for you
If you hear a thought a-calling out in the night
If you see somebody hanging from a lamppost bright
Baby, itll be me, and Ill be looking for you
If you see somebody looking in all the cars
If you see a rocket ship on its way to Mars
Baby, itll be me, and Ill be looking for you
Going to look in the city where the lights are blue
Going to search the countryside, all the haystacks, too
If you see a new face on a totem pole
If you find a lump in your sugar bowl
Baby, itll be me, and Ill be looking for you |
Ive been to places where the sun goes down
Each day and never rises
Ive been to places in a dark room
Where we played with our disguises
Heaven, Im in heaven
Im in seventh heaven now
Seventh heaven
It was a dream, I heard a voice
I put it down to wishful thinking
It was a dream, a silent scream
Out of the blue, a new beginning
And then I fell upon a stroke of luck
That led to my good fortune
And then I fell upon my knees
And gently kissed the ground you walk on |
Im in a bad spot babe
I cant hear what you say
Id love to stop and talk
You keep fading away
Just the way she said it
Something in her tone
Always so convincing
But shes good on the phone
Ill wait until shes ready
That could be a while
She always takes her time
Then she turns up in style
Something not right
Didnt recognise the car
Women being what they are
There is no sense of reason
In a reasonable world
Makes any sense at all
To a reasonable girl
She said you know what I mean
But I couldnt understand
Didnt know what she said
Im a reasonable man
It wasnt meant that way
I was only having fun
She looked me in the eye
But the damage was done
I got the vague impression
She was under my thumb
I looked the other way
And I had to succumb
Girls like that
I want girls like that
Girls like that
I like girls like that |
Unforgettable face, I cant think of her name
Its on the edge of my tongue, gathering dust in the
Back of my brain
Something about the way she ignores me thats vaguely
Familiar
Makes you wonder what it was you ever did to thrill
Her
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again
I never felt the need to soothe her savage breast
She never felt obliged to tell me of her change of
Address
Caught me on a downward swing but I fell through her
Arms
How could I be so careless, I never meant to go so far
Oh shes back in town
Oh shes back in town
Im not leaving
Im running away
She took it all away, now shes back for the rest
Took it all so easy, wouldnt settle for less
She doesnt know what she wants but she knows how
To get it
I cant remember the time, she never let me forget it
Oh Whatsernames back in town
Shes back in town
Im not leaving
Im running away |
Im just passing time before the Ball
Playing my guitar
I dont have to be where I dont want to be at all
Maybe Ill go far
Going nowhere, sitting in a dream...
Ah, in a dream
Sitting in a landscape full of sighs
Dream away the day
Making up a tune about the blueness of the skies
This is where Ill stay
Going nowhere, sitting in a dream...
Oh, in a dream
Watching as a red and white balloon
Sails across my mind
In between the images that drift along my tune
Smile as they unwind
Going nowhere, sitting in a dream...
Ah, in a dream |
I dont have the time of day
I dont know what day I is
Someones falling on my head
Get up:get up
Were going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
To me it dont matter
Its where I belong
Its a matter of distinction
A real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction
And a wonderful time
This rooms so cold and bare
Theres nothing here for me
Ive got to find some heat somewhere
Get up:get up
Were going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle
Call it what you want
It really doesnt matter
When Im bangin on a gong
While someones holding out
To a willing congregation
And we can all forget about
The state of the nation
Cant hear a thing
But I see your lips are moving
Im working on my thinking
And I think its improving
Im going to get the blame
So I might as well deliver
If only I can swim across
This weird human river
I know I started out
With the best of intentions
Some blinding inspiration
And a few not-to-mention
And now Im looking deep
Into the last dying embers
Shouting what are we doing here
And nobody remembers
Ive lost a friend or two
I dont know where they have gone
Only one thing I can do
Get up:get up
Im going out on the raz |

I read in the news
That the average man
Is uplifted five times a day
Im confused
I have to confess
My feeling never goes away
I know its right
They asked the average man
In a survey across the nation
I cant understand how the average man
Keeps losing his concentration
Oh you got to use it
Oh you going to lose it
Im just begun
When youre all done
I see you running down the road
Cant hear a thing
My mind is blasted
And my head is about to explode
Feeling the pain
Just more of the same
As were rolling through the night
Going so fast
Were sure to nit the next town
Before the last ones out of sight
Back to back
One on one
Shake it up
Move it on
Back to back
One on one
Turn it up
Hold it down |
No, no, no Gloria
Oh try and help me, Gloria
Standing at the station
Waiting for you Gloria
Oh standing at the station
Ive been waiting there for you Gloria
Oh Ive been waiting, Ive been waiting there for you Gloria
Ive been waiting, waiting for you Gloria
No, long day is dying
Long day is dying, Gloria
Long day is dying
Long day is dying, Gloria
Dont you know Im standing at the station
Waiting for you Gloria |
Oh, my honey, take my money
I do what I wanna do
Dont you know the sun is shining
Im sure trying, I aint crying
My feet wont touch the ground
I aint got no more misery
Spread the word Im living again
Tell the world Im loving again
Dont you know I feel like giving again
Freedom, oh
No more walking or fast talking
No things are gonna wear me out
Im sure glad I wasnt born a fool, yeah
Some day, baby, youll be my lady
I know that it wont be long
We aint got no more misery
Spread the word Im living again
Tell the world Im loving again
Dont you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
Oh, honey honey honey, taking all my money
I do what I really wanna do
Oh, the sun is shining
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I never never cried
Oh, my feet wont touch the ground
I aint got no more misery
Spread the word Im living again
Tell the world Im loving again
Dont you know I feel like giving again
Freedom |
How can you live in such a state?
Your mind is empty and youre full of hate
The things you say and the things you do
Mark you down as a helpless fool
I know, I know, I know, I know
Its gonna be all right through the night
Tomorrow comes and youre full of shame
Oh baby! You play the crying game
Aaaah...
Gonna be a long time baby
Before we get it sorted out all right
Ill drag you off to Utopia, baby
Well end up heading south
I need, I need, I need to know
If youre gonna do me right
If you do the things I ask of you
Ill tell the world tonight
He he he he hee... All right
You do me right, you do me wrong
Tell me, where do I belong?
You do me up, you do me down
I accept it all without a frown
You live like a woman in a fantasy
Ha ha I admire you from my tree
You drain my life and you drain my brain
I end up running back again
I love, I love, I love the funny ways
Oh you throw me in a daze
If you ever left me woman
Id destroy myself, sure as hell
Aaaah...
Were gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistle stops - oh yes we are
Well pull down the blinds while the carriage grinds
And the engine grunts and pops
Well theres a city, Jamie cryin bout the fussin goin on
So Ill burn her Times to ash
Well theres a lot to live but theres a lot to give
Ready! Steady! Smash!
Alright! Yeah! Uh mmh!
You just got to be out of your head
When you say youre good looking from bottom to top
Well Ill be waiting, to give her the rent
When you pass til you say you want a sock hop
Well theres a nightmare howling like theres something going on
And its going to aim the pain
Oh, just like me he fell in love
Ah now he feels the pain
Aaaah....
Gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistle stops - oh yes we are
Well pull down the blinds while the carriage grinds
Engine grunts and pops
Well theres a city, Jamie cryin bout the fussin goin on
So Ill burn her Times to ash
And theres a lot to live and theres a lot to give
Ready! Steady! Smash! |
On the lonely road Im travelling on
The road that leads nowhere
As the ground and the sky, wondering why
Im alone, so alone
I kept rolling on from tears for years
Sun is my only friend
With the wind on the bend and my pack in my hand
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
And I feel like going home
With my money spent, my clothes all torn
My spirit cant grow
I aint got no friend where the power ends
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
And I feel like going home |
Here be friends...
Here be heroes...
Here be sunshine...
Here be grey...
Here be life...
Here love lies bleeding...
Memories so hazy...
And dreams that drove me crazy
Here be down...
Here be paradise...
Here be starbright...
Here be pain...
Here be smiles in eyes like rainbows...
My father and my mother...
My sisters and my brother -
Pictured within
Where therere shadows ill met by moonlight...
There are dragons I have slain...
And here be bright eyes with hair so golden...
Sunrise and sunset and running free...
And laughing at the rain
Here be home...
Here be travellin...
Here be thunder...
Here be blue...
And Sometimes heaven and thoughts of wonder...
The Miracle of children...
A poet and a pilgrim
Kith and kin - pictured within
Lose and win - pictured within |
The sky is red, I dont understand
Past midnight, I still see the land
People are sayin the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The citys ablaze, the towns on fire
The womans flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her liar
All I hear is Burn!
I didnt believe she was devils sperm
She said, Curse you all, youll never learn!
When I leave, theres no return.
The people laughed till she said, Burn!
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear Burn!
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time
The sky is red, I dont understand
Past midnight, I still see the land
People are sayin the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear Burn! |
She was, she was
She was all that she said she was
She was all that she said she was
I couldnt want for more but all I want is more
I just want her more and more and more and more and
More
But shes untouchable
And I lay my head down, I lay my head down
And then shes lovable
Who were you with last night?
Who were you with last night?
Were you thinking of me?
And where you thinking of me?
Unforgivable sin, unforgivable sin, unforgivable
Youre untouchable
And I lay my head down, I lay my head down
She coming my way, she coming my way
I dont know what to say, she coming my way
She fading away, she fading away
And I lay my head down, I lay my head down |
While you were out... the message says
You left a number and I tried to call
But they wrote it down in a perfect Spanish scrawl
A perfect Spanish scrawl
Yet again, Im missing you
King size bed in a hotel someplace
I hear your name; I see your face
I see your face
The backstreet dolls and the side door johnnies
And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money
Back in the alley, going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl
Heaven wouldnt be so high I know
If the times gone by hadnt been so low
The best laid plans come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams
Sometimes I feel like screaming
Close my eyes
Its times like this my head goes down
And the only thing I know is the name of this town
The name of this town
Yet again, Im missing you
Wont be long, Im coming home
Until that distant time, Ill be moving on
Ill be moving on
The backstreet dolls and the side door johnnies
And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money
Back in the alley, going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl
Heaven wouldnt be so high I know
If the times gone by hadnt been so low
The best laid plans come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams
Its all in the mind
Its all in the mind
Its all in the mind
Its all in the mind
The backstreet dolls and the side door johnnies
And the wide eyed boys with their bags full of money
Back in the alley, going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl
Heaven wouldnt be so high I know
If the times gone by hadnt been so low
The best laid plans come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams |
I threw a rock in the lake and it sank to the bottom
The waves spread out but the rock got forgotten
The ripples came back just as we feared
Looking for the rock but the hole disappeared
Its somewhere in the middle some way down
The last guy that went looking almost certainly drowned
He ran out of time
He can kiss tomorrow goodbye
Yes I piss in the water and burn down trees
I watch as the creatures fall to their knees
They havent got a clue as disaster looms
Theyre too busy choking on toxic fumes
They got no hope and theres no point running
No matter what they do I keep on coming
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
Well hallelujah and holy mackerel
All we got left is a thief and a jackal
The writing is big and its there on the wall
Oh how the mighty empires fall
Theres nothing to fix its much too late
Sit down and prepare to meet your fate |
Emmaretta
Did you get my letter
I sent it to you
Oh Emmaretta
Do you still feel
When night is falling
Somethings calling
Oh Emmaretta
Behind my thoughts
Oh Emmaretta
I can get to you
To feel better
I must go now
Oh Emmaretta
Full moons rising
Oh Emmaretta
Oh, its a thousand miles
Oh, and I need you child
Oh, they can drive me wild
What I feel, make it real |
I got a certain little girl, shes on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
The best girl that I ever had
Shes gonna make me feel so bad
Yeah, make me feel so bad
Shes got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of my hand
Blow my mind and Im in so deep
Cant eat, I cant sleep, yeah
I cant sleep, yeah
Hush, hush, I thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, she took my heart
But I love her just the same now
Hush, thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, hush, I need her loving
But Im not to blame now
I got her early in the morning
Late in the evening
Hush, hush, I thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, she took my heart
But I love her just the same now
Hush, thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, hush, I need her loving
But Im not to blame now
I got her early in the morning
Late in the evening |
Wait before you go
And you will know, what I am feeling as you leave
I understand, your need for some time
Some solitude
Wait a while, before you go
You should know by now, my heart belongs to you
I know that you must leave
And I can see, that its not easy for you, now that Ill be here, I know that my soul
Is always near you
Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while For you
Shake the wine and the leaves start falling
Spill the wine and all our dreams come tumbling down
All around
The sands of time are slipping through my fingers
You and I, still the memories linger on
And on
Now I know if I can only let go
And wait a while, youll be here again with me
The same old friends weve always been
Wait a while before you go
You should know by now I love you and so I will wait a while
Wait a while
Wait a while
For you
For you
You |
The daylight fades and the stars come out
But theres never much to talk about
Another day goes rushing by and here we are just wondering why
We have to belong with a sense of purpose
Thats all we need, without them were worthless
Ah, weve come so far, hmm, but then again
All we see is more of the same
Its getting crowded here we agree no doubt
Oh dear brother whats it all about?
Hey you over there why dont you throw down your spear?
We all need some help right now
Where are we going from here?
The way things are working out
It wont be too long before we have to move
Better start thinking about it while theres still time to choose
Every day of my life I discover
Someone murdering my sisters and brothers
In the name of some god or another
What do you know?
For the first precious few its time to go
What might have been well never know
All those bad ideas became the law
Oh yes, weve forgotten what were looking for
All of you angels its time to gather your wings
Leave it all behind you wont need any of those things
Were going on through the darkness hand in hand
To step into the future
Before time began
And for those who remain with your chosen gods
May your prayers be answered |
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, I aint for taking, wont you ever learn?
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy, you cant go far
I couldnt get her
But things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on baby, youre my star
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Yeah, I got a strange kind of woman
And I said, oh, I love you
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Yeah, I got a strange kind of woman
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
Im dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Yeah, I got a strange kind of woman
Ah, she was a weird one, alright
New York we ended up in Manhattan
Its all served
She was a strange kind of woman
She was a strange kind of woman
Ohh, I, I love, I love you babe
Fantastic, thank you very much!
How you doin, alright? |
I get lost on a regular basis
Im not alone I see the same old faces
Back on the road its a worthy opponent
I get home in the heat of the moment
Whats that stuff always rise to the surface
College cream, it always emerges
Be what you are I tell myself
And myself tells me we cant be anybody else
You always sleep with a smile on your face
Much as I want to put myself in your place
Not my business Ive got dreams of my own
I try to recall but when I wake up its gone
Dont let go of that image
Youll never see it again
I can hear voices theyre buzzing in my head
Eyebrows raised was it something I said
A long hot night, it crept in like a thief
The engine stopped, the seatbelt popped
And her jaw dropped in disbelief
Dont let go of that beast
Youll never see it again
Dont let go of that whisky bottle
Youll never see it again |
I dont have a problem
Im not seeking her advice
Im saving that for later
Yeah, its something awful nice
I had a shaky feeling
When she floated into sight
I imagine well be doing it tonight
Im ragged round the edges
All these people in the room
Theres magic in the air
Im guessing she can feel it too
Prospective recreation
Helps me keep her in my sight
I imagine well be doing it tonight
Thats why everybodys sitting around
We cant think of nothing better to do
Theres no empty bottle
Theyre all half full
So we end up spinning a shoe
We keep on going until poor old Lennys
Got drool hanging off of his chin
He cant stop winning
When the shoe stops spinning
But he doesnt know where to begin
She wasnt in the running
She was never in the game
I could see her in the distance
But I could not lay my claim
Let me tell you about this cherry
I never got a single bite
Therefore I imagine well be doing it
Tonight |
Ive been mistreated, Ive been abused
Ive been struck downhearted, baby, Ive been confused
Cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated
Since my baby left me Ive been losing my mind, you know I have
Ive been lonely, Ive been cold
Ive been looking for a woman to have and hold
Cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated
Since my baby left me Ive been losing, Ive been losing
Ive been losing my mind, baby, baby, babe
Ive been mistreated, Ive been abused
Ive been looking for a woman, yeah, Ive been confused
Cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh
Since my baby left me Ive been losing, losing
Ive been losing my mind, baby, baby, babe
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman
Ive been losing my mind |
The Rainbow in the Dark
When theres lightning – you know it always bring me down
Cause its free and I see that its me
Whos lost and never found
I cry out for magic – see it floating in the light
It was cold - lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming
Youve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
Do your demons – well, do they ever let you go
When youve tried - do they hide - deep inside
Is it someone that you know
Youre just a picture - just an image caught in time
Were a lie - you and I
Were words without a rhyme
No sign of the morning coming
Youve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
When I see lightning – you know it always brings me down
Cause its free and I see that its me
Whos lost and never found
I cry out for magic - feel it dancing in the air
But its fear - and youll hear
It calling you beware
No sign of the morning coming
No sight of the day
Youve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
Youre a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
A Rainbow in the Dark
No sign of the morning
Youre a Rainbow in the Dark
I see youre all, youre all, youre all a Rainbow
Youre a Rainbow in the Dark
Thank you
Thank you
Good night |
Well Im standing here on moving station
All the world is traveling by
To strange outlandish destinations
There they go, I wonder why
I may be crazy
But Im no stupid
I get along
I use my silver tongue
You know I can dream in any language
Flying on my magic bed
And I dont need to work my passage
All I do is use my head
I may be crazy
But Im no stupid
Sometimes I ramble
Then Im Lucid
I might seem lazy
But Im hurting no-one
I get along
I use my silver tongue
I know exactly what youre thinking
But you dont know whats in my mind
You went too fast and now your sinking
Because you forgot to read the signs |
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, I aint for takin
Wont you ever learn?
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy, you cant go far
I couldnt get her
But things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on, baby, youre my star
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
Ooh, my soul, I love you
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glow with pride
Im dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman |
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and must have it painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah! |
Nobody gonna take my car, Im gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, its gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, its a killing machine
Its got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tires and everything
I love it, and I need it, I feed it
Yeah, its a wild hurricane
All right, hold tight, Im a highway star
Nobody gonna take my girl, Im gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl, she stays close on every bend
Ooh, shes a killing machine
Shes got everything
Like a moving mouth, body control and everything
I love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
All right, hold tight, Im a highway star
Nobody gonna take my head, I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head now that Im on the road again
Ooh, Im in heaven again
Ive got everything
Like a moving ground, an open road and everything
I love it, I need it, I feed it
Eight cylinders, all mine
All right, hold tight, Im a highway star
Nobody gonna take my car, Im gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, its gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, its a killing machine
Its got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tires and everything
I love it, and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, its a mad hurricane
All right, hold tight, Im a highway star
Im a highway star
Im a highway star |
Broken down relations, beaten up guitars
Making one last appearance in a heap of old cars
Brambles and weeds flourishing amongst
Lines of empty bottles and rambling drunks
Junkyard blues sound familiar
Im never alone
Always remind me of home
One of a dozen covered with stains
Blistered and stinking was all that remained
Cannibalised machines, mysterious bones
Unwanted contents of anonymous homes
Mangy old dog scratching in the dust
Burned out Mercedes surrendering to rust
All this stuff was good for something
But here it is now, good for nothing |
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
Message is a song
The misery is gone
Yes it is
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didnt want to know
She wouldnt see the show
What a fright
I couldnt do it right
Oh, what a night
What a night
Mystic demons fly
All above the sky
Memories of a clown
The saddest show in town, yeah
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
Careful what you touch
Shouldnt touch too much
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
In my mind I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being, oh, so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded English fool
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldnt even speak
Not a word
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now Im free
And I can see
That I am me
Yes I am me
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
Message is a song
The misery is gone
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now Im free
And I can see
That I am me
Yes I am me
Please stay away |
If youre driftin on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sails
The future your horizon
Its like searchin for the Holy Grail
You feel theres no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
Theres only your reflection
And you still aint got no place to go
Time will show
When I dont know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin far away
To find it, steal or borrow
Ill be there someday
Now woman, I keep returnin
To sing the same old songs
The storys been told, now Im gettin old
Tell me, where do I belong?
Feels like Im goin to surrender
Hard times, Ive had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe I could get back up
Time will show
When I dont know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin far away
To find it, steal or borrow
Ill be there someday |
Everybodys got to live together
All the people got to understand

Oh well love is all you need
Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball

At the Butterfly Ball
Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
At the Butterfly Ball |
You can bury me up to my knees in shit
Or anything else... I dont mind a bit
You think Im gonna drown but youre wrong
Cos man I got my hip boots on
Get your ass in the water and swim like me
Its the only way youre going free
If you blink an eye Im down the road and gone
Its plain to see that I dont belong
I got my hip boots on
Its so cool
Its beautiful
Those rusty chains cant tie me down
Cos man I got my hip boots on
I never give it up
Tear it up
Rip it up
Cant get enough
Oh yeah
Before that shit starts going down
When I hear the dogs I go to ground
Thats me high steppin through the swamp
Thats why I got these hip boots on
I got my hip boots on
Its so cool
Its beautiful
And its so cool |
So many signs, so many ways
Its a living thing no need to rush
The buzz will last for days
When you discover, Im just a man
Take it girl or leave it
Dont be reading out the label on the can
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number
Ill be your lover, Ill be your friend
Ill be your friend and your brother in love
But thats where the story ends
If you say jump, Ill do it with affection
But dont get pissed if I dont move
Too fast in your direction
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number
Its that same old nonsense that same old look
But now Im turning back
And I can read you like a book
It all means nothing, nothing at all
Its the same old business
Man it drives me up the wall
You made the potion too strong
I feel Im going soft
Ive been that way far too long
You see, now its wearing off
So many times, so many days
Its a spiritual thing that loving touch
I thought youd be amazed
I like the distance, I like the space
The moneys good, the rent is cheap
And I can read suspicion on your face
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number |
You look good
I was bad

Good lovin is meant for two

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile film
We didnt have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, you got it man
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, you got it babe
Burning down
Hey, what you got, Stevie?
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
The Rolling-truck-Stones-thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat, come on baby
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know well never forget
Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
And fire - I cant hear you, come on now!
Fire in the sky
Alright now, come on
(Smoke on the water
And fire in the sky)
I still cant hear you, come on!
A fire in the sky
One more time!
Unbelievable, you are fantastic!
Superb, magnificent!
Thank you, youve been great, we love you!
Take it easy, bye bye! |
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, I aint for taking, wont you ever learn?
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy, you cant go far
I couldnt get her
But things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on baby, youre my star
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
Shes my soul, I love you
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
Im dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
Who do you think you are?
Superstar
Who do you think you are?
Superstar
Superstar
Who do we think we are?
Oh, my soul, I love you baby |
We all came out to Montreaux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, the fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water,the fire in the sky
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Makin our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, well never forget
Smoke on the water,the fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, the fire in the sky

You were good
I was bad
I just want everything you had
Good loving is meant for two
A bit for me and a bit for you
Alright, oh yeah
Cmon and make my bed
Oh, baby, baby, I... Cmon
Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say
You did right, I did wrong
Let me sing my simple song
Oh baby, oh please
Oh tremble on my knees
Yeah, yeah, I need you so
Come in, come in, oh let us play with sin
Alright, yeah
Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say
Oh...
Lady, lady, lady
You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found
Aaah, oh yeah
I wanna feel so good inside you
Alright
I cant hear you
I cant see you
I need you
You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found |
After all we said today
The strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you
But its clearly quite absurd
Wouldnt it be wonderful
If you could read my mind
Imagine all the stuff
That we could leave behind
How many words you waste
Before youre understood
Or simply sow some seeds
Youd do it if you could
Let me take a moment
Of your time
Inside you mind
I know what youre thinking
But I dont know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict
You dont have to feel that way
Look into my eyes
And feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together
Not tearing us apart
How many words we waste
To justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love
That really takes no time
Why not take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind
How many words I wasted
You dont want to hear
Why dont sit in silence why money
Why dont take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind
After all this same today a strange thought occurred
I feel I should tell you its clearly quite absurd |
Sweet child in time
Youll see the line
The line thats drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Ohh taking toll
If youve been bad
Oh Lord I bet you have
And youve not been hit
Oh by flying lead
Youd better close your eyes

We took the p out of paradise
Just to produce this hell
And all were going to leave behind is this decaying putrid smell
Weve lived in this world
Seen her used and abused
Thats why god is singing the blues
They felled a great oak over there
They filled a duck pond over here
Weve got a glass and concrete monster now that feeds and caters to
Our fears
Maybe its too late
To spoil another view
Thats why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
For we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
And in the name of you
Forgive us mother
For the pain we caused
We destroyed whats yours
Thats why papas singing the blues
Polluted all the oceans
Pulped all the trees
Plagued by chronic boredom
We blew a hole in the atmosphere
We tore out her heart
Left her battered and bruised
Thats why god is singing the blues
Forgive us father
For we know not what we do
Blame it on each other
And in the name of you
Forgive us mother
For the pain we caused
We destroyed whats yours
Thats why papas singing the blues
You may believe in evolution
You may believe in gods great creation
The only thing we know for sure
We got a man made situation
We turned this whole world
Into a dying zoo
Thats why god is singing the blues
You better live on your feet
Than die on your knees
I stole that from some graffiti
Lord have mercy please
Living in this babylon
Keeps us confused
Thats why god is singing the blues |
Via Miami
Well i got a dirty feeling i need a change of clothes
Wheres my suitcase nobody knows
I checked my bags in london, i waited in japan
Here I am hiding in the can, well
Giransanvellybadamellicatobrame
It must have gone via miami, yeh
I work hard every day saving up my cash
Looking at my wallet she said no trash
Honey i can tell you where you gotta invest
Im blessed with a treasure chest
Now sitting all alone at my table for two
She musta gone via miami
Well lady luck, ill be a fool for you
I said you, you
You wanna ticket to the moon baby dont you know
Id even get a ticket for a springsteen show
I coulda been a winner if id played my cards
Now im picking up junk in my backyard
Coulda been a doctor but I caught a cold
I coulda been... or so im told
Any chance that ever came my way
It musta gone via miami...
Well lady luck, ill be a fool for you
I said you, you
If i offered you some advice
Would you push my hand away and say no not tonight
Im losing my mind, ive flipped my lid
Mental aint the word, cos shes done my head
I aint a full shilling ive lost the plot
Gone bananas im over the top
Well, she checked the computer
What happend to my brain
It musta gone via miami
Via miami... |
This baggage handcuffed to my wrists
I drag it everywhere I go
Sometimes I fight you with my fists
But if I knew which way was home
Before the karma cut me loose
Would bring me whisky and my water
Sometimes I get the blues
Though I know I shouldnt oughta
Thats where Id go
Run down ghost trail, no chance of love
No sign of life, just wild dogs howlin in the night
Oh, thats what I like
Before the karma cut me free
Im sick of my own company
Sometimes I miss the boat
Most times I miss my home
Thats where Id go
If I new which way was home
Run down ghost trail, no chance of love
No sign of life
Just wild dogs howlin in the night
Hear em howl... |
Golden light above you, show me where youre from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill and they be bop all around you
They wonder where youre from, they wonder where I found you?
Oh, my love, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way?
I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
And people ask me where youre from? They really wanna know
Oh, my soul, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way?
Magic woman wreckin up my soul
Things you tell me have never been told
Magic woman I dont know
Electric before me I love you so, I love you so
Youre racing like a fireball, dancing like a ghost
Youre Gemini and I dont know which one I like the most
My head is gettin broken and my mind is gettin bust
But now Im comin with you down the road of golden dust
Oh my love, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way?
The golden light above you, show me where youre from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
Dtand up on your hill and they be bop all around you
They wonder where youre from, oh yeah, they wonder where I found you?
Oh my love, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way? |
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just a little song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia
Just a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
My Georgia, my Georgia
No peace I find
Just a little song
Keeps Georgia on my mind |
No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
You put the evil in my mind
I used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
I tried to listen to the mule
How can I change when my mind
Is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule |
Maybe its because Im only starting
That I think it wont take too long
Maybe its because I can see you laughing
That I think youve got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like an outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said whats he gonna turn out like
And someone else said never mind
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
As all the cats Id ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit
Of shiny white or was it cream
I shook and shivered danced and quivered
And stood on a mountain top
No one came from miles around and said
Man your music is really hot
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
My throat was tired and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they poured on the scorn
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
He said, My boy, well have some crazy scenes
There werent any scenes at all like he was talkin about
He mustve been the king of queens
Well I could write a million songs about the things Ive done
But I could never sing them so theyd never get sung
Theres a law for the rich and one for the poor
And theres another one for singers
Its die young and live much longer
Spend your money and sit and wonder
No one came for miles around
And said man your music is really funky
I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
Nobody knows whos real and whos fakin
Everyones shouting out loud
Its only the glitter and shine that gets through
Wheres my Robin Hood outfit?
Well Ive come and Ive gone before you wink an eye
No one ever cared enough to say goodbye
The moneys good and the time you have
Fun and games galore
But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
And you wonder what you did it for
No one came from miles around
And said man whos he? |
You fool no one, waiting to see if Im gone
So hard to see you are taking your chances with me
If I find you with some other man
You know what Im gonna do
Better run if you see me comin, ah
Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before
When you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes
If you think youre gonna take me for granted
Chasin round with all you see
Gonna make you live to regret it, ah
You fool no one, waiting to see if Im gone
So clear to see youve had all your chances with me
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldnt take it no more
Better run when you see me comin, ah |
If you find me tugging at your sleeve
Oh yeah well maybe youd better believe
Im searching for the one to love
Thats all Im thinking of
I believe in taking chances
Gonna see what your romance is
Ill be risking my life tonight
Fire, ice and dynamite
In the fire, ice and dynamite
If you see me running to extremes
Oh yeh well Im only chasing my dreams
If you see me coming close the door
Im coming back for more
I believe in taking chances
Gonna see what your romance is
Ill be risking my life tonight
Fire, ice and dynamite
In the fire, ice and dynamite
Fire and ice ..... and dynamite
Dont you worry if it starts to rain
Step aside if you cant stand the pain
From the mountain top to the valley below
Oh yeh well Im fighting with the flow
I maybe burning in the frozen sun
Cos Im gonna be number one
I believe in taking chances
Gonna see what your romance is
Ill be risking my life tonight
Fire, ice and dynamite
Fire, ice and dynamite
Fire, ice and dynamite
Fire, ice and dynamite
Cos I believe ..... in taking chances |
No, no, no Gloria
Oh try and help me, Gloria
Standing at the station
Waiting for you Gloria
Oh standing at the station
Ive been waiting there for you Gloria
Oh Ive been waiting, Ive been waiting there for you Gloria
Ive been waiting, waiting for you Gloria
No, long day is dying
Long day is dying, Gloria
Long day is dying
Long day is dying, Gloria
Dont you know Im standing at the station
Waiting for you Gloria |
Hey, hey good looking, whats wrong with you

While your eyes just watching out things are living grand

But the sun is shining somewhere every day

You long time gone

Hoe, now long time gone

Fly into the rising sun
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in an eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
But Im at home and I just dont belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When were alone in her city of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me |
Can you remember, remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold, cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life, your tears are lost in falling rain
And if you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers |
The golden light about you
Show me where youre from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, bebop all around you
They wonder where youre from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
Oh my love, its a long way
Where youre from, its a long way
I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
And people ask me where youre from
They really wanna know
Oh my love, its a long way
Where youre from, its a long way
Magic woman wrecking up my soul
Things you tell me have never been told
Magic woman who I dont know
Electric before me, I love you so, I love you so
Youre racing like a fireball, dancing like a ghost
Youre Gemini and I dont know which one I like the most
My head is getting broken
My mind is getting bust and
Im coming with you down the road of golden dust
Oh my love, its a long way
Where youre from, its a long way
The golden light about you show me
Where youre from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, bebop all around you
They wonder where youre from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
Oh my love, its a long way
Where youre from, its a long, long way |

Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race, now
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
With the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
Few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know well never forget
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water |

I told you once about a place that I had accidentally stumbled upon
Can you imagine how it feels to find somewhere that you can do no wrong
But its alright youre safe in my hands
Ill meet you in the sky tonight and we will trace some undiscovered stars
Well go beyond the universe beyond all understanding, hey, its not that far
But if s alright I feel safe in your hands
I cant stand living this way
Getting by from day to day
Im drinking from your loving cup
I told you things were looking up
Oh oh oh so good
Oh it feels so good
Were all the same but then again were all quite different in our own peculiar ways
Weve come so far and now were going through another phase
But its alright
We made it so far
As we all know if s hard to breathe when something spiritual has taken place
We dont know why we dont know how weve been transformed into a state of grace
But its alright
We walk in our sleep
Yes its alright
This is rapture of the deep |
Emmaretta
Did you get my letter
I sent it to you
Oh Emmaretta

Full moons rising

You dont clutch no straw
You dont want to live
You dont want to cry no more no no
