Something that somebody must have done

Don’t smoke, don’t drink
Still can’t sleep a wink
No hope, no joke
No flicks with chicks
It ain’t right
Deadbeat Saturday night
I’m alone, telephone
Virtual reality
It’s no life, no gigs
No choice, no voice
It’s no dice
Deadbeat Saturday night
Meanwhile out in the sticks
It’s more pricks than kicks
Hicks from the sticks
Don’t know what makes them tick
Don’t know what’s next
No work, no play
No busman’s holiday
No show, no way out in sight
It just ain’t right
On this deadbeat Saturday night
Meanwhile out in the sticks
It’s more pricks than kicks
Because those hicks from the sticks
Don’t know what makes them tick
Don’t know what’s next
Don’t smoke, don’t drink
Still can’t sleep a wink
No hope, no joke
No flicks with chicks
It ain’t right
Deadbeat Saturday night
There’s no work, no play
No busman’s holiday
No dough, no show, no way out in sight
It ain’t right
Deadbeat Saturday night
It just ain’t right
Deadbeat Saturday night
It just ain’t right
Deadbeat Saturday night |
Whatever happened to PJ Proby?
Wonder can you fix it Jim
Where the hell do you think is Scott Walker?
My memorys getting so dim
Dont have no frame of reference no more
Not even Screaming Lord Sutch
Without him now theres no Raving Loony Party
Nowadays I guess theres not much
To relate to anymore
Less you wanna be mediocre
Aint nothin new under the sun
And the moon, and the stars now chum
Im makin my way down the highway
Still got a monkey on my back
Facing it head on and doing it my way
Please, can you cut me some slack?
Theres nothin to relate to anymore
Less you wanna be mediocre
Aint nothin new under the sun
And the moon, and the stars now chum
Still making my way down the highway
Still got a monkey on my back
Facing head on and doing it my way
Please, can you cut me some slack?
All the cards fell so many rounds
Down the road a piece Jack
Saw a bus comin and I had to get on it
Im still trying to find my way back
Whatever happened to all those dreams a while ago
Whatever happened way across the sea
Whatever happened to the way its supposed to happen
And whatever happened to me? |
When the child was a child
It walked with arms hanging
Wanted the stream to be a river and the river a torrent
And this puddle, the sea
When the child was a child, it didnt know
It was a child
Everything for it was filled with life and all life was one
Saw the horizon without trying to reach it
Couldnt rush itself
And think on command
Was often terribly bored
And couldnt wait
Passed up greeting the moments
And prayed only with its lips
When the child was a child
It didnt have an opinion about a thing
Had no habits
Often sat crossed-legged, took off running
Had a cow lick in its hair
And didnt put on a face when photographed
When the child was a child
It was the time of the following questions
Why am I me and why not you
Why am I here and why not there
Why did time begin and where does space end
Isnt what I see and hear and smell
Just the appearance of the world in front of the world
Isnt life under the sun just a dream
Does evil actually exist in people
Who really are evil
Why cant it be that I who am
Wasnt before I was
And that sometime I, the I, I am
No longer will be the I, I am
When the child was a child
It gagged on spinach, on peas, on rice pudding
And on steamed cauliflower
And now eats all of it and not just because it has to
When the child was a child
It woke up once in a strange bed
And now time and time again
Many people seem beautiful to it
And now not so many and now only if its lucky
It had a precise picture of paradise
And now can only vaguely conceive of it at best
It couldnt imagine nothingness
And today shudders in the face of it
Go for the ball
Which today rolls between its legs
With its Im here it came
Into the house which now is empty
When the child was a child
It played with enthusiasm
And now only with such former concentration
Where its work is concerned
When the game, task, activity, subject happens to be its work
When the child was a child
It was enough to live on apples and bread
And its still that way
When the child was a child berries fell
Only like berries into its hand
And still do
The fresh walnuts made its tongue raw
And still do
Atop each mountain it craved
Yet a higher mountain
And in each city it craved
Yet a bigger city
And still does
Reach for the cherries in the treetop
As elated as it still is today
Was shy in front of strangers
And still is
It waited for the first snow
And still waits that way
When the child was a child
It waited restlessly each day for the return of the loved one
And still waits that way
When the child was a child
It hurled a stick like a lance into a tree
And its still quivering there today
The child, the child was a child
Was a child, was a child, was a child, was a child
Child, child, child
When the child, when the child, when the child
When the child, when the child
The child, child, child, child, child
And on and on and on and on...
With a sense of wonder
Upon the highest hill. upon the highest hill
When the child was a child
Are you there
Shhh, Shhhh
Up on a highest hill
When the child was a child, was a child, was a child
Was a child, was a child, was a child, was a child... |

Been turned over
Can’t see my child
Is it any wonder that
I’ve got a troubled mind
When things go wrong
It just ain’t right
And it hurts me too
I pray to God above that
My baby’s gonna be alright
I pray morning, noon
Morning, noon and night
When things go wrong
It just ain’t right
And it hurts me too
I’ve been to the Court of Appeal
I’ve been back to the High
My bank account keeps on getting drained dry
And things go wrong
Got to keep up the fight
But it hurts me too
Yeah it hurts me too
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There’s too many pigs feeding
Feeding out of the same trough
Will it ever get to the stage
When enough is enough?
When things go wrong
Got to call their bluff
Even if it hurts me too
Evеn if it hurts me too
I’ve been to the Court of Appеal
I’ve been right back to the High
My bank account is always being sucked dry
When things go wrong
Got to fight, got to fight
Even if it hurts me too
Even if it hurts me too
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When things go wrong, I know it ain’t right
Then it hurts me too
It hurts me too |

They mocked me when I was singing the songs
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have in my dream
Cos I told it like it was
Wrote about disappointment and greed
Wrote about what we really didnt need in our lives
Make us feel alive and whole
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
And straight reality is always cold
Saying something hard edged is off the wall
And it might seem too bold
Mocked me when it got out of hand
Nobody tried to understand
Now we got to keep it simple and thats that
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
And straight reality is always cold
Saying something hard edged is off the wall
And it just might be too bold
Well Im down here on the running board
Where Ive been many times before
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
Mocked me when I tried to get back
Said the train was completely off the track
And we got to get back something simple to save ourselves
Whoa well we got to get back something simple just to save yourselves
Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
Well you got to keep it simple, keep it simple just to - and thats that
Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and thats just that
Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and thats just the way it is
And you got to keep it simple these days cos thats the way it is
Well you got to keep it, keep it simple and thats that |
Lets go walkin up that mountainside
Look down in the valley down below
And we survey this wondrous scene
Wait a minute-
Hold that dream
Hold that dream
Dont want to change my name and write a book
Just like catcher in the rye
Settle down in a shady nook
Talkin to my baby now
Im satisfied
With my world
Cause I made it
The way it is
Satisfied
Inside
Go to the mountain
Come back to the city
Where a whole lot of things
Dont look very pretty
Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst
But you got to change it
On the inside first
To be satisfied
To be satisfied
Sometimes I think I know where its at
Other times Im completely in the dark
You know, baby, cause and effect
I got my karma from here right to new york
Im satisfied
With my world
Cause I made it
The way it is
Satisfied
Inside
Sometimes I think I know how it is
Other times Im completely in the dark
You know, baby, cause and effect
Ive got my karma from here right to new york
Im satisfied
Cause I made it
The way it is
Im satisfied
Inside |
I forgot that love existed troubled in my mind
Heartache after heartache, worried all the time
I forgot that love existed
Then I saw the light
Everyone around me make everything alright
Oh, oh Socrates and Plato they
Praised it to the skies
Anyone whos ever loved
Everyone that ever tried
If my heart could do my thinking
And my head begin to feel
I would look upon the world anew
And know whats truly real
I forgot that love existed
But if I turned a brand new leaf
Made a brand new start
If my heart could do the thinkin
And my head began to feel
I would look upon the world knew
And I would know whats truly real
Oh, Id find whats truly real |
That lover of a night
Came when he would
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
Banners choke the sky
And men-at-arms tread
Armoured horses neigh
Where the great banner has been
In the narrow pass
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
I once had sweet Jack for a lover
But like a road they cross over
My body makes no moan
It sings on and on
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Ruinous, uninhabited
Suddenly lit up from within
From the door to the top
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
Oh, that lover of a night
Came when he would
Went with the dawning light
Whether I would or no
Men come, and they go
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
All things remain in God
All things remain in God |
Some get their kicks from Champagne
Mere alcohol doesnt thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you
Some get their kicks from cocaine
Im sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
Yet I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you
Standing there before me
I get a kick though its clear to see
I love you, sweetie
Love is really for you
I get a kick on no plane
Flyin too high with some guy
In the sky
Is my idea of
Nothin to do
Yet I get a kick
Out of You
I get a kick every time I see you standing there
Standin there before me
I get a kick
Though its plain to see
You never ever never do adore them or me
I get a kick on no plane
Flying too high with some guy in the sky is my
Idea of
Nothing to do
But, I get a kick
If you can abuse me
I get a kick, kick out out of you
Cannot refuse
I get a kick out of you |
And we walked the pagan streams
And searched for white horses on surrounding hills
We lived where dusk had meaning
And repaired to quiet sleep where noise abated
In touch with the silence
On Honey Street
On Honey Street
What happened to a sense of wonder?
On yonder hillside getting dim
Why didnt they leave us alone?
Why couldnt we just be ourselves?
We could dream and keep bees
And live on Honey Street
And we walked the pagan streams
In meditation and contemplation
And we didnt need anybody or anything
Then, no concepts, being free
And I wanna climb that hillside again with you
One more time
As the great, great, great, great, great, great, great
Being watches over
And we repair, repair, repair, shhh, repair, shhh, we repair
To Honey Street
To Honey Street |
Well my room has got two windows
The sunlight never comes through
Im so sad and lonely, baby
Since I broke off baby with you
I live on a lonely avenue
Little girl, since you said youre through
Now I feel so sad and blue
Its all because of you
I could die, I could die, I could die
I could die, I could die, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
My pillow is made of lead
And my cover is made of stone
I toss and turn every night
Im not used to livin alone
I live on a lonely avenue
Girl, since you said were through
And I feel so sad and blue
You know its all because of you
I could die, I could die, I could die
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry
I live on a Lonely Avenue |

Though it wont sail, cross the water, yeah
Row-in boats a-cross the water
Pick them up baby, row them on
Bring em on in, bring em on home
Well, I was drivin, in my Jag-u-ar

It was just my luckiest day
An I, kept speed up
An I, rowed these boats
A-bring em on in
A-bring em on in
Bi-do-a, di-do-a, di-do-a-do
Now, I went walkin down by Queensway
When I met a friend of mine
He said, Come on back, back to my pad
We will have a nice time
If you pick me up, row me on
Bring me in, bring me in
When I stepped off the boat
And I walked upon the, dry land
Slowly, to the carpark
And I jumped in, outta my mind
Outta my mind
Bring em in, bring em on in, bring em in
Ay-ooo-lotta, ooo-li-otta, ooo-li-otta, ooo-li-otta
Ooo-li-otta, ooo-ah

When you come down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
When you come down, down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
To be like me
To see like me
To feel like me
Take a look at me, Im a poor mans son
I never did no harm to no one
Youve got money in the bank
I dont have none
When you come down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
When you come down, down, down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
To be like me
To see like me
To feel like me
You got rose coloured glasses
In a world that you really think
Has so much glamour to you
Youve got opinions and judgments
About all kinds of things
That you dont know anything about
Dont you know the price I have to pay
Just to do everything I have to do?
Do you think that there is nothing to it?
You should try it sometime
When you come down, down, down
From your ivory tower
Oh you will see how it really must be
Oh when you come on down, down, down
From your ivory tower
Oh you will see how it really must be
To be like me
To see like me
To feel like me
To see like me
To feel like me
To see like me
To feel like me |
When you been on a fast train
And its goin off the rails
And you cant come back together again
You just start breakin down
In the pourin rain
Cause you been on a fast train
When your love has gone away
Dont it make you feel so sad
And you know Im returnin
Way into the land
And you start breakin down
And go into the pain
Cause you been on the fast train
You had to go on the lam
Cross into no mans land
Aint nobody here on your wavelength
And nobody gonna give you a helpin hand
You just start breakin down
And just go into the sun
When you hear that fast train
And you keep movin along
To the sound of the wheels
Deep inside your heart you really know
You know just how it feels
And you start breakin down
And the deserts reign on the fast train
Youre way over the line
This time youre out of your mind
This time youre out of your depth
And to the window you crack open
Oh but theres nowhere to go
Theres only sleet and theres snow
Keep on movin on a fast train
You hear theyre goin over the line
Oh standin on the edge of the hill
Oh nobody on their wavelength
Nobody to give you a helping hand
And you start breakin down
When you hear the sound
Keep on movin on a fast train
Im goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere on a fast train
Fast train
Going nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
To the wasteland
To the wasteland
On a fast train
On a fast train
On a fast train
Im goin nowhere
Im goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere
On a fast train |

Got to get you off of my mind
I know its just a matter of time
Youve found somebody new
And our love romance is through
Gonna throw your picture away
You didnt love me anyway
Youve found somebody new
And our love romance is through
Thats why I got to get you off of my mind
I know its just a matter of time
Ive found somebody too
And our love romance is through
Some folks love is hard and strong
Thats the kind of love that lingers on
Some folks love is swift and fast
And thats the kind of love that will never last
We had a love that was in between
And it was just like a dream
If we stayed together till June
Ive no problem wind up a groom
Thats why I got to get you off of my mind
Its just a matter of time
Youve found somebody new
And our love romance is through
Thats why, thats why I got to get you off of my mind
Its just a matter of time
Ive found somebody too
And our love romance is through |
Well youre out there, on the highway
While youre drivin, a-roll on by
Goin south between the bridges
While the rivers runnin dry
And if ya cant come home
Please send your mind
Now youre talkin, where ya goin
On the train that sees the road
Cross the nation, passing stations
While the night is as black as coal
And if you cant come home
Please send your mind
Ooo!
Well, if your handle aint, on your heartbeat
And your head between the sheet
And the sign isnt from the lamp post
On the corner of the street
And if ya cant come home
Please send your mind
Ooo-ooo-we
Ooo-ooo-wee-ooo
A we-we-eee
A we-eee
Aah, little darlin
Come on home
Come on home
Aah, send it, send it, send it
Send your mind
Ah, try to send it, baby
All ya gotta do
Song pauses
Shoo-be-do, shoo-be-do, shoo-be-do
Aah, send your mind
Go on send it darlin
Come on home |
By the light of the moon
When the night holds the secrets
Of the sleepy lagoon
Im contemplating moonlight
On the water
When Im walking with you
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
It can get so sentimental
When Im thinking of you
And I cant think of anything
Except being with you
When the summer is through
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
Well it lifts me up
When Im talking to you
On an evening in June
When the flowers are in bloom
And the sky is so blue
Well theres so many things
Taking place
That its hard to keep up with it all
Keep your eye on the ball
And to make the right call
When were longing for fall
On this evening in June
On an evening in June
Well it lifts me up
When Im talking to you
On an evening in June
When the flowers are in bloom
And the sky is so blue
Well theres so many things taking place
That its hard to keep up with it all
Keep your eye on the ball
And to make the right call
When were longing for fall
On this evening in June
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
By the light of the moon
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
By the sleepy lagoon
By the light of the moon
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June |
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
While makin whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he
Answers twice
Its really killin that hes so willin
To make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring
Hes washin dishes and
Baby clothes
Hes so ambitious he even sews
But dont forget folks
Thats what you get folks
For makin whoopee, whoopee
Now he doesnt make much
Money, no
Only five thousand per
But some judge who thinks
Hes funny
Says youll pay six to her
He says, Now judge, suppose I fail?
The judge says, Son right, right into jail
Youd better keep her, I think its cheaper
Than making whoopee
Whoopee, whoopee |
Whats wrong with this picture?
Theres something Im not seeing here
Whats wrong with this picture?
Something thats not exactly clear
Whats wrong with this picture?
Does it look like its just another sting?
Cos it dont mean a thing
If it aint got that swing and ring a ding ding
Whats wrong with this picture?
Doesnt anybody see
Thats who everyone thought
That I used to be
Whats wrong with this picture?
Its only hanging on a wall
So you can go right back to sleep
And just forget about it all, because
Im not that person anymore
Im living in the present time
Baby, dont you understand
Ive left all that jive behind
You cant believe what you read in the papers
Or half the news thats on TV
Or the gossip of the neighbours
Or anyone who doesnt want you to be free
Im not that person anymore
Im always living in the present time
Dont you understand
I left all that jive behind
Whats wrong with this picture?
Its only hanging on the wall
Why dont we take it down and
Just forget about it cos that aint me at all |
No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb around here
No panhandlers going to stake any claim here
Goldmine is not what its worth, know the score
No carpetbaggers, come in and take it
That just doesnt exist anymore
Rugs and the furniture just cant be lifted
Everything now has got to be nailed to the floor
So much for capitalism, so much for materialism
Every penny now has got to be earned
Everyone has got to be here at the coalface
Taking coals to Newcastle, youre going to get burned
No gravy train that stops at your station
Every penny has got to be earned
Everyone now has got to be at the coalface
Try taking coals to Newcastle, youre going to get burned
No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb anymore
No panhandler can stake a claim here
Goldmine is not what its worth, know the score
No carpetbaggers, come in and take it
Its not there for the taking no more
Rugs and the furniture cannot be lifted
Everything has got to be nailed to the floor
No pot of gold, end of the rainbow
No pot of gold, end of the rainbow no more
End of the rainbow no more
No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb anymore
No pot of gold, end of the rainbow
No social ladder to climb
Know the score
Know the score |
Sent to Coventry feels like hell
This aint no place to get well
Sent to Coventry once again
Break out of this empty shell
Start all over somewhere else
Somewhere much stronger than this
Somewhere I can be myself
Stead of sitting on the shelf
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Theres just this wall of hate
Of some twisted fate
Cause I cant be a part
Something that doesnt have no heart
Save myself, save the other
Right now, run for cover
Try to start another dream
And stop this empty scheme
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Sent to Coventry feels like hell
This aint no place to get well
Sent to Coventry once again
Got to break out of this empty shell
Start all over somewhere else
Somewhere much stronger than this
Somewhere I can be myself
Stead of sitting on the shelf
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Go where the love is, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, go where the love is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go where the love is
Gotta go, gotta gotta
Gotta gotta gotta
Go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is
Got to go where the love is |
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows
I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know
You know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows
I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on girl
Its too late to stop now |
Goin down Geneva, give me a helping hand
Im goin down Geneva, give me a helping hand
Its not easy baby, living on the exile plan
Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes
Down on the bottom, down to my new pair of shoes
Im down by the lakeside, thinking bout my baby blue
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg outside in the pouring rain
Last night I played a gig in Salzburg outside in the pouring rain
Flew from there to Montreux and my heart was filled with pain
Look out my window back at the way things are
Look out my window pane back at the way things are
Just wonder how, how did things ever get this far?
Vince Taylor used to live here, nobodys ever heard of him
Vince Taylor used to live here, nobodys heard of him
Aint that a shame
Just who he was, just where he fits in
He was goin down Geneva, give him a helping hand
He was goin down Geneva, give him a helping hand
It wasnt easy living on the exile plan
Vince Taylor used to live here, nobodys even heard of him
Vince, Vince Taylor lives here, nobodys even heard of him
Just who he was, just where he fits in
Just who he was, just where he fits in |
I left my heart
In San Fransisco
High up on a hill
It calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars
The mornin fog, mornin fog
It more than chills the air, chill the air
But I dont care
I dont care
My love waits there
As I cross this globe
Above the blue
I went to see
Why I come back
Oh to see, San Francisco
Your golden sun, golden sun
Shine on thee, come on thee
Ba-da-da-da-dum-dey
I left my heart
Down in Frisco
High up on a hilltop, hilltop
It calls to me
To be, to be, to be, to be
Where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog
Is gonna chill, gonna chill, chill the air, but I dont care
My love is there
Mhmmm, San Francisco
High bove the blue
I went to see
When I come back, when I come back
To you, San Fransisco
Your golden sun
Shine on me, shine on me
Go, golden sun
California
California, here I come |
Tell me what do you get
At the end of the day?
Is it all worth the while?
Can you put on a smile?
Does it fill you with pride
All the feelings inside?
Or do you just wanna hide?
Can you still walk away?
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Are you lonely or sad?
Do you think youve been had?
Is your heart ever glad?
Or are you afraid
Cause you dont have it made?
That you dont make the grade
Or of what people say
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Is your framework intact?
When you clean up your act
Do they keep coming back?
Do you say follow that
Pat yourself on the back?
Do you get what you lack?
Do they give you respect
Or is it after the fact?
At the end of the day
Tell me what do you get?
Is it heartache and pain?
Does it keep coming back
Every time that it rains?
When I see you again
Will it still be the same?
Am I really to blame
Cause I dont play the game?
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
Got to kneel down and pray
At the end of the day
Got to kneel down and pray
At the end of the day |
In the lonely dead of midnight
In the dimness of the twilight
By the streetlight, by the lamplight
Ill be around
In the sunlight, in the daylight
And Im workin on the insight
And Im tryin to keep my game uptight
Ill be around
And your memory
I heard this lonely lonely music once
And your memory
Its been haunting me ever since
When Im tryin, tryin to come down
In my world my room keeps spinning round
And Im tryin to get my feet back on the ground
You come around
My memory
Heard the lonely, lonely music once
In my memory
Its been haunting me ever since
And in the lonely dead of midnight
In the dimness of the twilight
If you meet me by the lamplight
Ill be around
And Im tryin for the come down
And my room keeps spinning round and round
And Im tryin to get my feet right back on the ground
You come around

Take it or leave it Ive heard it been said
All this Spring fevers just way over my head
Stealing my moments, taking up all my time
Its playing Russian Roulette with my mind
Its none of my business baby just whats going on
Im not going to wait till somebody throw me a bone
Im way out on a limb now, and nothing seems to rhyme
Its playing Russian Roulette with my mind
I think that youve caught on, that youve been used and all
Im going down New Orleans, Ive got to see Dr. John
Got my mojo working everything will be fine
Stop playing Russian Roulette with my mind
Its not easy baby when everything starts getting out of control
Hang on your hat now, hang on to your soul
Dont worry baby, I wanna throw you the line
Theyre playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Too many hustlers, Ive been here before
None of them really know just who that you are
Everything gets contracted and space gets confined
Theyre playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Theyre playing Russian Roulette
Theyre playing Russian Roulette
Theyre playing Russian Roulette with your mind
Theyre playing Russian Roulette
Theyre playing Russian Roulette
Theyre playing Russian Roulette with your mind |
One mans meat is another mans poison
One mans gain can be another mans loss
Im travelling down the lonely highway
Cos a rolling stone dont gather no moss
Once I thought I could live the kind of life I wanted
But the wayward wind made me restless and a fool of me
Cos I thought I could settle for the nine to five life
Well I guess it just was never meant to be
Now people talk and they speculate about what other people would do
But they cant put themselves within my shoes
It used to be my life, now its become my story
Im heading down this highway with those blues
Well Id love to see the sun setting on the riverside
Just to go back home and I want to settle down
Well I have to pay the devil for my music
Why I have to keep on with this roaming around
Have to pay the devil for my music
Keep on rolling from town to town
Have to pay the devil for to play my music |
This is a song about your wavelength

Calling on my wavelength
Telling me to tune in on my radio
I heard the voice of America
Calling on my wavelength

Little village baby, way up on the mountainside
Way across the ocean with you by my side |

Looking like the flowers that bloom in May

Sinking fast, hold tight
Just remember ordinary life
More trouble than its worth
Know it when you see the sign
Nothing feels right, step out of line
Just remember ordinary mind
Nagging wife starts a fight
Trying to make you uptight
Workaholic on your bike
Take a look at it in the daylight
Nothing feels right, step out of line
Think ordinary mind
Ordinary life
Be my rock in times of trouble
Get me back on the earth
Put my feet on the ground
Keep on pushing, make it useful
Do what youve gotta do
Keep on moving, keep on doing
Combat ordinary strife
Need a woman, be my friend
Understand ordinary life
Ordinary life
Be my rock in times of trouble
Bring me down to earth
Keep my feet on the ground
Keep on pushing, make it useful
Do what you have to do
Keep on working, keep on doing
Combat ordinary strife
Need a woman, be my friend
Understand ordinary life |

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the Sun
And the Bonnie boat won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
When a foghorn blows
I will be coming home
When a foghorn blows
When I hear it
And I dont have to fear it, and I
Want to rock your gypsy soul
Like back in the days of old
Magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
When a foghorn blows
No I will be coming home
When a foghorn whistle blows
Gotta hear it
And I dont have to fear it, and I
Want to rock your gypsy soul
Like back in the days of old
Together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on girl
Its too late to stop now
Its too late to stop now
Its too late to stop now |
When friends were friends
And company was right
Wed talk and talk and sing
All through the night
Morning came leisurely and bright
Downtown wed walk
And passers by
Would shudder with delight
Mmmmmm!
Good times...
All the cats were there
Just dirty enough to say
we dont care.
But the management had had complaints
About some cats with long long hair
look look look
And the peopled stare
why, you wont be allowed in
Anywhere
Barred from pubs and clubs and
Dancehalls
Made the scene at the spanish rooms
At the falls
And man, four pints of that scrumpy was
Enough to have you
Out of your mind
Climbing up the walls
Out of your mind
But it was a gas, all the same
Now just around about this time with
The help of the three js
Started playin at the maritime
Thats jerry, jerry and jimmy
You know they were always fine
They helped us run the maritime
And dont forget kit
Hitting people on the head and
Knockin them out
You know he did his best and all
Was something else...
Now people say, who are
Or what are them
That little one sings and that big
One plays the guitar with
A thumble on his finger runs it up
And down the strings
The bass player dont shave much
I think theyre all a little bit
Touched
But the people came
And thats how we made our name
Too much it was
Yeah, good times
Wild, sweaty, crude, ugly
And mad
And sometimes just a little bit sad
Yeah, they sneered and all
But up there, we just havin a ball
It was a gas, you know
Some good times...
We are the them take it or leave it
You know they took it
It kept coming
And we worked for the people
Sweet sweat
And the misty misty atmosphere
Gimme another drink of beer baby
Gotta get goin here...
Blues come rollin
Down all your avenue
Wont stop at the city hall
Just a few steps away
You can look up at
Maritime hotel
Just a little bit sad
Gotta walk away
Wish it well... |

Ive been on this roller coaster just too many times
And always it seems like
The blind keep on leading the blind
Tried to get them on the phone
Tried to find my way back home
Tned and failed, and tried and failed, again
But baby I dont want you cos you look so good
I dont want you cos I know I should
I dont want you to come in f rom the rain
I want you to be my ball and chain
I want you to be my ball and chain
Ah just lately Ive been roaming from town to town
Ive been setting them up, setting them up
And Ive been knocking them down
I was born to live, it seems, a fugitive dream
Make things always better than they seem
And I stop and start, and stop and start
And stop and start again
Baby I dont want you for your money
I dont want you cos I love you honey
I dont want you to ease this memory pain
No, I want you to be my ball and chain
Yes, I want you to be my, be my ball and chain
When I see you in the garden once again
Baby youll be standing in the summer rain
Laugh and cry and say what its all about
You can even jump and shout
And youll smile and say how are you again
I dont want you cos Im so blue
I dont want you cos you know what to do
I dont want you because all my love seems in vain
I want you to be my ball and chain

Oh, be my ball and chain

Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes
Angels in the snow and thyme
And Im keeping my mind on that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
Got Watchtowers and Awakes for free
In the laundromat for you and me
But you cant take me down that way
As Im not sinking
And if we go down one time
Next times not gonna be the last time
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
Didnt I bring you precious gifts
Come to kiss you on the lips
Did not even appear
To beg your pardon
To lay out in the morning sun
Feel the cool breeze and the one
Right there in, in my garden
Puerto Rican Nursery Rhymes
And angels, and angels, and the snow and thyme
But Im keeping my mind on that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
Yeah, and if we go, if we go down one time
The next time will not be the last time, and Im
Keeping my mind on that, contemplating that rose
Up in a church in Spanish Harlem
And if we go down one time, you know
The next time it wont be the last time
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
And Im contemplating, and Im contemplating that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church in Spanish Harlem
And Im contemplating that rose
In a church, in a church in Spanish Harlem |

So complicated, so complicated
Just wanna blow my horn
So complicated, so complicated
Just wanna know the score
Are you telling me that everythings fine
When I cant even tie my shoes
Better get into a new frame of mind
When I dont have to think about the business no more
Cause I just wanna blow my horn
The telephone is ringing out
But it dont understand my blues
And how much longer will it take
Until they get the news
The weather man said it was good
He forecast it was truly great
So if you change your train of thought
You know it wont be late
Too complicated, too complicated
You know this crazy scene
Too complicated, too complicated
No one says what they mean
Are you telling me that everythings fine
When I cant even tie my shoes
Better get into a new frame of mind
When I dont have to think about the business no more
Cause I just wanna blow my horn |
As you brush your shoes and stand before the mirror
And you comb your hair, and grab your coat and hat
And you walk wet streets, tryin to remember
All the wild night breezes in your memory ever
And everything looks so complete
When youre walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flyin, cryin
Ooo-woo-wee
Wild night is calling
Oooo-ooo-wee
Wild night is calling
And all the girls pass by, dressed up for each other
And the boys all hang out on the corner of the street
And the people passin by sit and wonder
And the inside jukebox roars just like thunder
And everything looks so complete
When youre walking out on the street
And the wind catches your feet
And sends you flyin, cryin
Ooo-woo-wee
Wild night is calling
Oooo-ooo-wee
Wild night is calling
Wild night is calling
Wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance, make romance
Wild night is calling
Wild night is calling
Come on out and dance
Come on out and make romance
Come on out and dance, make romance |
There were people on the sidewalks
Strolling down the avenues
They were sitting outside in cafes
We were looking for the muse
Well I was locked in by the system
Where no freedom is the rule
Now I spend all my time
Just trying to make it understood
It once was my life
Thats what everybody said
All the things I used to do
And the people that were friends
Ive got to make it mean something
At the end of the day
It once was my life
They cant take that away
Trials and tribulations and stupidity still rules
Sometimes it looks like Im on a ship of fools
It once was my life
When my message was just the street
Then it became something else
And now its incomplete
Im just trying to get back to when
Can somebody please shed some light?
It used to be my life
It used to be uptight
Used to be my life
It used to be uptight
Trials and tribulations
And stupidity still rules
Some days it just feels like
Im still on a ship of fools
Im back here on the boards
I can hear the engines roar
Everybodys got to pay
Some people got to pay more
Well you can tell the people anything
Spoon feed them anything you like
It used to be so simple
It used to be my life
Now everything is so complicated
Just to speak or use the phone
Some people try to use me
Just cause they dont have their own
Dont know whos round the corner
Trying to sell me some more tripe
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life baby
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
Used to be my life |

Man can be king
Seems to have everything
But it comes with a sting
When you were born to sing
Reason doesnt walk in
Its not done on a whim
Passions everything
When you were born to sing
Feeling good
Singing the blues
It aint easy
Keep on paying dues
When it gets to the part
Well lets not stop and start
Deep down in your heart
You know you were born to sing
When you came in
No original sin
You were a king
Because you were born to sing
Reason doesnt walk in
Its not done on a whim
Passions everything
When you were born to sing
Lord, feeling good
Singing the blues
Keep on keeping on
Paying them dues
When it comes to the part
Well lets not stop and start
Deep down in your heart
Baby you were born to sing
When it gets to the part
When the band starts to swing
Then you know everything
cause you were born to sing
When it gets to the part
When the band starts to swing
Then you know everything
cause you were born to sing |
Youre a slave to the capitalist system
Which is ruled by the global elite
What happened to, the individual
What happened to, the working class white
They filled his head with so much propaganda
Entertainment on tv and all kinds of shite
What happened to the individual
When he gave up all of his rights
Tell you up is down and wrong is right
Nothing to hang your hat on, cant even get uptight
Youre controlled by the media
Everything you say and do
What happened to, the individual
Tell me what happened to you
Tell you up is down, not able to fight
Keep you docile and complacent, cant even get uptight
Controlled by the media and you dont know what you can do
They took away your constitution you dont even know what happened to you
Waffle is the language that they taught you, taught you to talk
But you cant even get any angle cause you forgot how. keep on walking the walk
Youre a slave to the capitalist system and its controlled by the global elite
Double dealing with the banks, behind your back, just cant fight |

Getting high behind the ritual
Getting high behind the ritual
Drinking that wine in the days gone by
Behind the ritual, behind the ritual
Behind the ritual, behind that spiritual
In the days gone by drinking that wine and getting high
So high behind the ritual, so high behind the ritual
So high in the days gone by
Drinking that wine making time, making time
Stretching time, stretching time
Drinking that wine, stretching time
Stretching time in the days gone by behind the ritual

Id love to write another song
But nothing seems to come
Id love to write another song
To carry me along
Make some money, pay the bills
Keep me busy too
Id love to write another love song
Id love to write another song
Im searching everywhere
Though I look for inspiration
Sometimes its just not there
I have to work, I have to play
I have to get in step
If I could write another love song
I know it sure would help
Id love to write another song
Baby especially for you
Id love to write another song
And feel things bright and new
Poetry Id carve it well
Id even make it rhyme
Id love to write another song
Just to get some peace of mind
Id love to write another song
Get some peace of mind
Id love to write another song
Baby for some peace of mind |
Lost in a strange city
Nowhere to turn
Far cry from the streets that
I came from
It can get lonely
When youre travelling hard
But you can even be lonely
Standing in your own backyard
Nobody knows the existential dread
Of the things that go on inside
Someone elses head
Whether it be trivial
Or something that Dante said
But baby nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
No matter how well you know someone
You can only ever guess
How can you ever really know somebody else?
It takes more than a lifetime
Just to get to know yourself
Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
I have to say a word about solitude
For the soul, it sometimes they say can be good
And Im partial to it myself I, well I must confess
Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
Well theres Sartre and Camus, Nietzche and Hesse
If you dig deep enough
You gonna end up in distress
And no one escapes having to live under duress
And no one escapes the meaning of loneliness
Well, they say keep it simple when it gets to be a mess
And fame and fortune
Never brought anyone happiness
I must be lucky
Some of my friends think that Im really blessed
Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness
No, no, no, no, nobody knows
The meaning of loneliness
No, no, no nobody knows
The meaning of loneliness
Nobody knows the meaning of loneliness |
When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine
I see my freedom from across the way
And it comes right in on time
Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
Ive been used, abused and so confused
And I had nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh
And the sun shines down all on the ground
Yeah and the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and Ive got the will
And I dont really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
0 here it comes right now
And it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh |

You thought you knew me
But you were wrong
There’s more to me than my song
I don’t blame you
You’re not the first
There’s more than one way to call your bluff
Mistaken identity
Man I get that a lot
You think that you can read me but
But you just cannot
Cause I don’t live my life
Only singing in one key
There’s always sharps and flats
Sometimes concert C
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
Look inside myself
And only at the crowd
What the philosopher said
Got to say it out loud
The unexamined life is not worth living
Didn’t look behind my smile
I can be forgiven
Once in a while
Cause I don’t live my life
Singing in just one key
All the sharps and flats
Sometimes concert c
Mistaken identity
Mistaken identity
You thought you knew me
But you were wrong
There’s more to me than just my song
I don’t blame you
You’re not the first
There’s more than one way to call your bluff
Mistaken identity
Man I get that a lot
You think that you can read me but
I know you cannot
Cause I don’t live my life
Singing in just one key
All the sharps and the flats
Sometimes concert c

Well its written in the wind
For the story does begin
I will go back to my kin across the sea
And the bird thats on the wing and is flying free
He can hear the song of home endlessly
Well the further I must go
Then the nearer I must stay
Men have sailed the seven seas to be free
And like that bird thats on the wing and is flying free
He can hear the song of home endlessly
I can see the harbour lights
Hear the foghorns in the night
All up and down the lough, calling
From the rocky shores of Maine
I will sail back home again
Back to where my heart longs to be
And the bird thats on the wing and is flying free
He can hear the song of home endlessly
Can I see the harbour lights
Hear the foghorns in the night
Moves up and down the lough, calling, calling
From the rocky shores of Spain
I will sail back home again
Back to where my heart will always be
And like a bird thats on the wing and is flying free
He can hear the song of home endlessly
He can hear the song of home endlessly
He can hear the song of home endlessly |

Thats life
Thats what the people say
Youre riding high in april
Shot down in may
I know Ive got to change my tune
When I get back up on top in june
Thats life
Funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks from stepping on a dream
I dont let it get me down
This big old world keeps spinning round
Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
Ive been up, down, over and out
And I know one thing
Every time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
Thats life
I cant deny it
I thought of quitting but my heart wouldnt buy it
If I dont think its worth a try
Im gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
Ive been up, down, over and out
Thats life
I cant deny it
I thought of quitting but my heart wouldnt buy it
If I dont think its worth a try
Im gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Bye bye
Bye bye |

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her thats where I belong
Yet Im running to her like a rivers song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
She take away my trouble, take away my grief
She take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Yes, I need her in the daytime
Yes, I need her in the night
Yes, I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her, hug her, kiss her, hug her, hug her tight
And when Im returning from so far away
She give me some sweet lovin, brighten up my day
Yes, it makes me righteous, yes, it makes me feel whole
Yes, it makes me mellow down to my soul
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love |
The lion this time again
Hes in the circus in a cage
Hes trying to break out of the frame
The lion this time
He hears that same old sad refrain
But they cant hold him with no chain
And they just cant denounce his claim
The lion again
And hes trying to get free
He knows that somethings bothering me
That Im not too blind to see
The lion again
Oh, the love thats in his soul
Is trying to get out you know
If only you could hear it roar
The lion again this time
They couldnt take away his throne
He knows that he must stand alone
If need be, have a heart of stone
The lion again
The lion this time again
Hes in the circus in a cage
No wonder that hes in a rage
The lion again
And hes trying to get free
And he knows that somethings bothering me
Oh, but Im not too blind to see
The lion this time
The longing thats in his soul
Is trying to get out you know
Only you could hear it roar
For the lion this time
They couldnt take away his throne
He knows that he must stand alone
If need be have a heart of stone
The lion again
The lion again this time
Hes in the circus in a cage
No wonder that hes in a rage
The lion this time
The lion this time again
Hes in the circus in a cage
No wonder that hes not the same
The lion again
The lion this time, the lion this time
The lion this time, the lion this time
The lion this time, the lion this time
The lion this time, the lion this time |

I just cant seem to take much more of this
Got too much hassle baby and not enough bliss
Got to give these hangers on a miss
Cos I need some help I just dont get
No one seems to understand whats up
Whats up, whats up
So called friends come and go
And things just dont add up
Trying to make my way
Through all this illusion and myth
I dont even have no safety net
Nero fiddled while Rome burnt
Napoleon met his Waterloo
Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair
But little David slew Goliath too
Im just trying to get some results
Listen baby Im not trying to start my own cult
Please tell me something that I dont know
I just wanna get on with the show
Nero fiddled while Rome burnt
Napoleon met his Waterloo
Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair
But little David slew Goliath too
Youd think some program might do the trick
Let me tell you this wall of fog
Is just too thick
I thought of everything but the whip
But baby nobody on my ship is up to it
Im just trying to get some results, some results
Im not trying to start my own cult, no ..
Just tell me something that I dont know
I just wanna get on with the show
I just wanna get on with the show
Just tell me something that I dont know
I just wanna get on with the show
And if it dont work then let it go |
My message this evenin
Is simple indeed
Wherever you wander
Whatever your breed
Theres just one thing baby
That comes from above
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
When livin gets heavy
And hope starts to fade
You just cant continue
That old masquerade
Remember the power that comes from above
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
Thank him, thank him
God for self love
When push comes to shove
Thank God for self love |
Well Im so blue

Til I see her again
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now
In the morning I wake
To go get food on my plate
But I just cant eat
And when I go in the cafe
To sit down at my seat
I dont have egg on my face
When it stops and it starts
It just tears me apart
Like a pain in my heart
But its been misunderstood
Somebodys breaking the rules
And Im nobodys fool
Well, well, well
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now

When it goes wrong
I just dont belong
When it goes right
Its clean out of sight
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Im feeling so glad
Im on top of the world
When I see you again
Well its so true
I been thinking about you
Baby youre my flame
When it goes down
Down on the ground
When it goes down
But when it goes up
It just fills up my cup
When it goes up
Well, well, well
Shes my lady, shes my baby, shes my lady
Shes my baby, shes my lady, shes my baby
Shes my lady, now, now, now, now |
Well, dont you know, how much I love you?
Dont you know, how much I care?

It isnt written in the stars
Its not limited like Saturn
Isnt ruled by Mercury or Mars
Oh, wont you meet me in the Indian summer?
Where well go walking down by the weeping willow tree
Wont you meet me in the Indian summer?
Well go walking to eternity
Its not modeled by convention
It isnt worshiped like the sun
Its not likened unto any other
And it will never come undone
Well, dont you know that my world is so lonely?
Just like a freight train in the dawn
Thats why I need to have and hold you
Just to keep me from going wrong
Oh, wont you meet me in the Indian summer?
Well go walking by the weeping willow tree
Wont you meet me Lord in the Indian summer?
Well go walking to eternity
Wont you meet me in the Indian summer?

Oh, wont you meet me in the Indian summer?
Well go walking by the weeping willow tree
Oh, wont you meet me in the Indian summer?
Well go walking to eternity |
Dont want to discuss it
I think its time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin that Im strange
In that case Ill go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst and what is best

And if you never hear from him
That just means he didnt call or vice versa
That depends on wherever youre at
Or and if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
Oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo
There you go
Say it again
Oh oh Domino
I said oh oh Domino
