I don’t want no body
Always sitting around me and my man.
I don’t want no body
Always sitting right there
Looking at me and that man
Be it my mother, my brother, or my sister
Would you believe? I’ll get up, put on some clothes,
Go out and help them find somebody for themselves
If I can. Yes I will.
Now I don’t mind company
Because company’s alright with me every once and a while
Yes it is.
I tell you I don’t mind company
Because company’s alright with me every once in a while, yeah.
But oh, when me and that man get to loving
I tell you girls I dig you, but I just don’t have time
To sit and chit and sit and chit chat and smile.
Don’t send me no doctor
Filling me up with all of those pills
I got me a man named ‘Dr. Feelgood’
And oh, yeah that man takes care of all my pains and my ills.
His name is Dr. Feelgood in the morning.
Taking care of business is really this man’s game.
And after one visit to Dr. Feelgood
You’d understand why Feelgood is his name
Oh yeah, oh good God Almighty the man sure makes me feel real
Goooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!
Mood
Rat tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
He deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's runnin' a gang
But I hear he's doin' O.K.
Got a cozy little job sells the Mexican mob
Packages of candycaine
(Chorus)
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He's the one that makes ya feel alright
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting paid
Jimmy's got it wired, Law's for hire
Got it make in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Selling sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy's town
(Chorus)
He's gonna be your Frankenstein
I've got one thing you'll understand
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man
Got one thing that's easily understood
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He'll tell you he's the king
Of these Barrio streets
Moving up to Shangri La
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumour going round
Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick
(Chorus)
He's gonna be your Frankenstein
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He's the only one they call "Feelgood"
(Fontana/Gluck/Colacrai/Lambert)
I'm finding out what love is all about
Every day at three when school lets out
I'll se my baby I get weak in the knees
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a dog gone tease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
We meet the gang and go to Rockin' Joe's
The cats are stomping on their heels and toes
I grab my baby try and give her a squeeze
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
My daddy told me there be times like these
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money then she treats me cruel
I'm beggin for her kisses on bended knees
Give me some lovin' baby please please please
- Harmonica Solo -
I keep trying hard to make her mine
Some day the wind will blow the sun will shine
Until the time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She lock my heart and throw away the key
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money then she treats me cruel
I'm beggin for her kisses on bended knees
Give me some lovin' please please please
(Morganfield)
I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long
Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong
Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches please don't shake my tree
Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come and say you'll be mine
If you don't like my potatoes, please don't dig up my vine

I'm an easy going kind of man
I really am
But I can tell there's trouble close at hand
You know I can
Heard your name in town
You've been walking round
Acting like a clown
Then I'll understand
That you've got
Another man (8 x)
You can stay out anytime at night
Do what you like
Even come spoiling for a fight
But thats alright
I keep my cool before
But I just can't take no more
When I hear my best friend talking behind his hand
All about
Another man (8 x)
- guitar break -
I know you can rock me on the floor
Til I get sore
But just one of those little smiles of yours
And I want more
You got plenty of the things your daddy loves
But there's one thing that you've got that I just won't stand
I'm talking about
Another man (7 x)
Another man
Another man
(Wingfield/Vernon/Foster)
Jimmy was a winner back in his home town
People came to see him play from miles around
Then one morning he woke up and looked himself in the face
Said I'm going round in circles I ain't gettin' no place
All this working for peanuts is getting way out of hand
I've had about as much of it as I can stand
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Goodbye small time from tonight
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Jimmy gave his notice headed down to the smoke
Well it wasn't too much later he was hungry and broke
He'd been paying out good money for a hole in the wall
Gigging every night and earning nothing at all
Said the work that I've been dreaming of is way out of reach
I've got to be a bigger pebble on a smaller beach
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Now it's 'Hello home town, bye tonight'
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Oooh Aaahhh That crazy Jimmy
Oooh Aaahhh
Back amongst his friends he had to swallow his pride
'Cause he thought the grass was greener on the other side
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Now it's 'Hello home town, bye tonight'
Gonna' drop, drop everything
Drop, drop everything
Drop, drop everything and run

She's the one, don't let her get away
She's the one, believe me when I say
She stole my love and know she's gotta pay
She's the one, I'd like to let her go
She's the one, 'cause I hardly know
She stole my love and now she's gotta pay
It's not right for her to run around
She took my love and stomped it to the ground
She's the one, stole my love from me
She's the one, but I won't set her free
She stole my love and now she's gotta pay
- guitar solo -
It's not right for her to run around
She took my love and stomped it to the ground
She's the one, stole my love from me
She's the one, but I won't set her free

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
Got cobra snake for a neck tie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide(?)
Got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of a human skull
Well come on, take a little walk with me baby
Tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy, baby, don't give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
- Break & Guitar Solo -
When the night was black and the sky was blue
Down the alley an iceman(?) flew
Hill up, home(?), someone screamed
You should've heard just what I've seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Well Arlene took me by my hand
She said ";Uh, you boy, you know I understand";
She said
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Got to have your love night and day
Not just a part but all your heart
Ninety-nine and a half
Just won't do
Yeah, it just won't do
I've got a half of real love and affection
Though we live, though we live in the wrong direction
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
Yeah, it just won't do
We got to bring it on down now

I've got a half of real love and affection

I've been keepin' my ears to the ground
I've been hearin' rumors going round
Don't give me that dirty double talk
My advice to you is take a walk
Tell me can't you see
That you ain't foolin' me
So tell me no lies
Don't tell me no lies

You had a reputation
Talk can be so unkind
You loved above your station
It messed up your mind
Take this information
And quit while you're behind
Kicked out of his bed
Now you might go blind
His line is dead
And your face is lined
You'll only get ahead
If you quit while you're behind
You got to get out while you can and run
You got to pay the price, once you've had your fun
Once you've had your fun yeah

You lost your inhibitions
Now they're hard to find
You made the late editions
In the daily grind
Forget your superstitions

You was mean to me
You was so mean to me
You gonna be sorry
Oh you mistreated me
Broke my heart
The judge found never cruelty
I call it murder in the first degree
You made a fool of me
Yeah you made a fool of me, baby
Everybody knew it
They all knew but me
Broke my heart
The judge found never cruelty
But I call it murder in the first degree
Blue and lonely
So blue and lonely
Can't stop this pain
Deep down in my heart
And it's killing me
Broke my heart
The judge found never cruelty
But I call it murder in the first degree
Oh, I call it murder

All in my sleep I hear my doorbell ring
Look outside my window and see no doggone thing
Woman I'm troubled
I'm troubled and worried now (I be all worried in mind)
Well I just can't be satisfied
I just can't keep from crying
I feel like slapping a pistol in your face
I want some old graveyard to be your resting place
Woman I'm troubled

Take a look around you and you find out where you are
Walking on the edge

Hear the engines gunning in the middle of the traffic
Caught up in the jam again
It really starts to get insane
Just waitin for the light to change

No need to worry it's ok

If you see my baby walking
I'm a walking by her side
Ain't no need to look too far
Because I won't be hard to find
I'm walkin' twenty yards behind her
'Cause I love the way she shakes her behind
Everybody stops to see her
When my baby's out takin' a stroll
I see a traffic cop that flags
When a steam roller ran out of control
But when my baby walked by
He jumped up and shouted, ?Bless my soul!?
Bless my soul
It's all much confusion in the town
When she's passing through
All the cars are going backwards
And the traffic lights change to blue
I'm walking twenty yards behind her
We used have our time together.
We used to party with each other.
Now you stall when I call.
Dont wanna know when I say go.
And when I see you on the street
Listen to me little creep, ......that's it, I quit.
You used to look just like a queen,
Kinda soft, kinda mean.
Now you jst look dirty.
Say you're twenty but you're thirty.

where did you get that thing,......that's it, I quit.

Well I know you heard of the old mambo
And you heard 'bout the old tango
But when you do the walk you stand in clos

When you're feeling down and you're all alone
There's a little lady you can telephone
When she knocks on your door makes your heart stand still
You give her the money, she gives you the thrill
She got what you want
She got what you need
It's the feelgood factor and it's guaranteed
Feelgood factor
She got the feelgood factor
Feelgood factor
Whatever you want, she don't care
She got the stock and she'll give you a share
It's a take-over bid your deposit is due
And if your credit is good she'll play footshs with you
She'll take you round the world and bring you back again
Deals in pounds or dollars or marks or yen
She goes in at the bottom and out at the top
And she keeps on going till your profits drop
She got what you want
She got what you need
It's the feelgood factor and it's guaranteed
Feelgood factor
She got the feelgood factor

Talked to my baby on the telephone, she said
Stop what you're doing and come on home
I can't hold on
I can't hold on

Talking to you on the phone
She said daddy, don't you worry, don't you cry
You know I love you baby, said you're my heart's desire
I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone

She said, daddy don't you worry, don't you cry
You know I love you baby, said you're my heart's desire
I can't hold on
I can't hold on
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
Talk to me baby
(continues 24 bars)
I get a real good feeling
Talking to you on the phone

Take a little tip from mr. johnny green
Keep your rear view mirror clean
Keep an eye on the road and the one behind
Increase your speed if you're so inclined
Gotta to go faster
Gotta get along
Gotta to go faster
Put your foot to the floor
Push yourself just a little bit more
Take a little tip from mr. nosebleed sam
Kissed the screen in a traffic jam
It minced his face and it bust his nose
Broke his leg and ripped his clothes
Gotta to go faster
Gotta get along
Gotta to go faster
Grit your teeth, clench your jaws
Push yourself just a little bit more
Take a little tip from mr. racetrack tony
Stick it on the nose and ride your pony
Dance for the winner and ride your nag
Take your dinner from a new nose back
Gotta to go faster
Gotta get along
Gotta to go faster
Ride your nag till your sore
Push yourself just a little bit more
Gotta to go faster
Gotta get along
Gotta to go faster
Grit your teeth, clench your jaws
Push yourself just a little bit more
Take a little tip from mr. johnny green
Keep your rear view mirror clean
Keep an eye on the road and the one behind

Cold light dawning
Something ain't right
Funny kinda feelin'
Bad dream last night
Someone's got a voodoo doll
Stickin' needles into me
Temporary blindness
Means that I can't see
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Gone sour on me
Seems like I'm in heaven
When I first closed my eyes
Don't care about the future
If I'll live or die
Put your arms around me
The kiss of death
Lyin' here in ecstacy
On a cold death bed
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Gone sour on me
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Gone sour on me
- guitar solo -
Toss and turn when the lights go out
More bad dreams since you walked out
I can't seem to face the future without you
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Gone sour on me
Someone's got a voodoo doll
Stickin' needles into me
Temporary blindness
Means that I can't see
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Gone sour on me
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'
Gone sour on me
Sweet sweet lovin'
Sweet sweet lovin'

Seems like everyday
I see you pass my way
I try to catch your eye
Each time you walk on by
You know that I'm obsessed
Just by the way you're dressed
The way you swing your hips
And how you paint your lips
Oooh, just one look
You bring me to my knees
Oooh, there ain't no potion
Gonna cure my disease
You got me sweet louise
You got me down on my knees
You got me sweet louise
Why you're so hard to please
You know I fantacise
About your big brown eyes
I love the clothes you wear
The way you fix your hair
Oooh, just one look
You bring me to my knees
Oooh, there ain't no potion
Gonna cure my disease
You got me sweet louise
You got me down on my knees
You got me sweet louise
Why you're so hard to please
Don't you know I could write a book
Just about the way you look
What you got is so hard to find
I can't get you out of my mind
You walk into the room
I smell your sweet perfume
And everything you got
Sure makes my blood run hot
Oooh, just one look
You bring me to my knees
Oooh, there ain't no potion
Gonna cure my disease
You got me sweet louise
You got me down on my knees
You got me sweet louise
Why you're so hard to please
You got me sweet louise...
You got me down on my knees
You got me sweet louise
You got me sweet louise
You got me sweet louise
You got me down on my knees

I'm checking on you
You're checking on me
The moment we walk out the door
We're battered and blue
I'm reckoning we
Don't trust each other no more
Life is a riot
With spy vs spy
No peace and quiet
There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live
Life is a riot
With spy vs spy
You're running around
You're going outside
Trying to catch me with some blonde
I'm moving uptown
I'm ready to ride
Hey not so fast mrs bond
Life is a riot
With spy vs spy
No peace and quiet
There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live
Life is a riot
With spy vs spy
Life is a riot

We're looking for leads
We're searching for clues
We're looking for anything
That we can use, yeah

I'm reckoning we
Don't trust each other no more

Something good, something bad
Something special, something sad
Something good, something bad
Gonna get it with or without you
Something weak, something strong
Not too much, and not for long
Something weak, something strong
Gonna get it with or without you
I don't need a shot, I'll take what you've got
Now it's in my head, that's what someone said
Could have been you, could have been me
Could have been him, or history
Could have been you, could have been me
Gonna get it with or without you

I'm not the man you're looking for
Honey, let go of my hand and show me the door
So long, you got me wrong
You ain't got me going, baby
You got me gone
Somewhere there's a fellow that's waiting for you
Somewhere there's a man with nothing better to do
So long, you got me wrong
You ain't got me going, baby
You got me gone
There's a man for the money
There's a man for the show
Listen to what I tell you, honey
I'm a man for the road
I'm not the man you're looking for
Honey, let go of my hand and show me the door
So long, you got me wrong
You ain't got me going, baby
You got me gone
There's a man for the money
There's a man for the show
Listen to what I tell you, honey
I'm a man for the road
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone
'cause you ain't got me going, honey

I jumped up this morning
Right out of a dream
The front door was wide open
And the rain was blowing in from the street
The whole house felt empty
And I was alone
I could hear somebody ringing
But I couldn't find my way to the phone
I pondered and puzzled
Why all this should be
I got a sneakin suspicion
Someone's putting something over on me
Sneakin' suspicion
Creeping up inside of me
Sneakin' suspicion
Just won't let me be
- guitar break -
I looked for my baby
All over in town
I've never seen so many women
Since the day they closed the factory down
Midnight on the river
In the light of the flames
I'm staring at the water
And I'm trying to fit a number to a name
Sneakin' suspicion
Creeping up inside of me
Sneakin' suspicion
(hayes/porter)
All I want is just a little time
To make your sweet love mine
Please put all you've got in it
'cause all I want all I want is sixty minutes
Sixty minutes of your time
If I can't be your full time lover man
Honey do the best you can
Ask and you just might get it
All I want is sixty minutes
Well gimme five, ten, fifteen, twenty
Don't stop now, I haven't had a minute
Twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
Gonna tell your mama 'crazy 'bout her daughter'
Forty-five, fifty, fifty-five, sixty
Sixty minutes of your love

She's got a fine lookin' figure
When she's walkin' down the street
She gives a quick 'see you later'
To all the guys she meets
I wanna hear her moan when I get her alone
When the action starts she says 'i got to go home'
She's a wind up, wind up
She's a wind up, wind up
She's a wind up, wind up
For I'd say okay but they don't mean what they say
She wears the low-cut dresses
And a high-heeled shoes
She was born to make it
I was born to lose
She makes the blackout sounds till the light goes down
And when I make a move she ain't nowhere around
She's a wind up, wind up
She's a wind up, wind up
She's a wind up, wind up
For I'd say okay but they don't mean what they say
Fine lookin' figure
Oh when she's walkin' down the street
She gives a quick 'see you later'
To all the guys she meets
I wanna hear her moan when I get her alone
When the action starts she says 'i got to go home'
She's a wind up, wind up
She's a wind up, wind up
She's a wind up, wind up
For I'd say okay but they don't mean what they say
She's a wind up, wind up

If there's something that I like
It's the way that woman walks
And if there's something I like better
It's the way she baby talks
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight
I said you you ought to see her jerk
You ought to see her walk on the floor
And when she gets back to her seat
Mmh all the people cry for more
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight
I said I'd give her anything
That her little heart desires
Anything she wants
Just to keep her by my side (/satisfied)
She does it right
She does it right
She works hard every night just to make me feel alright
She told me not to worry
And there ain't a single trouble in sight

It's the way that woman walks
And if there's something I like better
It's the way she baby talks

When I saw my baby walking with another man today
When I saw my baby walking with another man today
When I asked her what's the matter, this is what I heard her say:
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style
She said, I'm sorry pretty daddy, you knew my love is just for you
She said, I'm sorry pretty daddy, you knew my love is just for you
Won't you say that you'll forgive me and say your love for me is true
I said, wait a minute gator, I know you meant it just for play
I said, wait a minute gator, I know you meant it just for playdon't you know you really hurt me, this is what I have to say
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now
Saw you walking down the street with your brand new bo
Now's there's something you might know
It's a dirty dog don't mean no good and leave you out in the cold
Lies and cheats
That's what I've been told
You're getting in too deep
Love before you leave
Put him out of your mind
Put him out of your mind
Oh I could do so much for you and always be around
I'll treat you right not like that earl crown
Cause he is the one who make you blind, leading you a stray
But I'm the one to help you find the way
You're getting in too deep
Love before you leave
Put him out of your mind
Put him out of your mind
Now all is fair in love and war so the people say
Keep you cool he only wants to play
You better watch out be on your guard
Or get your fingers burned
What a spill of girls who never learned
You're getting in too deep
Love before you leave
Put him out of your mind
(Wilko Johnson)
I saw you out the other night
I saw somebody hold you tight
Roxette, I wonder who it could be
It was so dark I couldn't see
But I know it wasn't me
When I tell you it ain't right
I know you've got to agree
I followed you into a show
The band was playing rock'n'roll
Roxette, I didn't need to seek you out
The music played so loud
That I could hear you through the crowd
You was telling everyone
About a new guy you'd found
Roxette I gotta go away
And leave you for a couple of days
Roxette, I don't want no more of your tricks
I'm gonna get some concrete mix
And fill your back door up with bricks
And you better be there waiting
(b. troupe)
If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on route 66
It winds from chicago to l.a.
More than 2,000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on route 66
Now you go thru st. looey, joplin, missouri
And oklahoma city looks mighty pretty
You'll see amarillo, gallup, new mexico
Flagstaff, arizona, don't forget winona
Winslow, barstow, san bernardino
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that california trip

I roll and I tumble, cried the whole night long
Yes I roll and I tumble, I cried the whole night long
I got up this morning, feeling that something going on wrong
Well now want you to love me baby, or please let me be
Yes love me baby, or please let me be
If you don't like my peaches please don't shake my tree
Well I want you to love me baby, and come on and say you'll be mine
I want you to love me baby, come and say you'll be mine
July the second, it was nineteen sixty-three
I was servin' time for armed robbery
Four o'clock in the mornin', I was layin' back in my cell
I heard the whistle blow then I heard somebody yell
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number 9
The riot started down in cell block number 4
Spread like wild fire across the prison floor
Scar-face Jones said, "It's too late to quit"
Pass the dynamite 'cause the fuse is lit
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number 9
Y'all gotta stop that stuff goin' on over there
If ya don't stop that riot, y'all gonna get the chair
I said, "Hey now boys, get ready to run
Here come the warden with an automatic gun"
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Down in cell block number 9
In the forty-seventh hour the tear gas
It got our men
We are all back in our cells
But every now and then
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
There's a riot goin' on
Around the bend in the L&N1;
They loaded it down with a lot of men
The whistle blow and through the switch
Nobody knew just-a which one switch
I'm ridin', ridin on the L&N;
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N;
Well a man named Quin on the L&N;
Runnin' around on how she's been
Train slowed down and the men jumped off
I wasn't dead 'cause I heard him callin'
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N;
I ain't jivin', ridin' on the L&N;
A man named Mose with a great big nose
Sleepin' on that pile of toes
The doctor came and he rang the bell
The palla alla4 get well, well, well
I'm ridin', ridin' on the L&N;

I'm finding out what love is all about
Every day at three when school lets out
I'll se my baby I get weak in the knees
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
Why must she be such a dog gone tease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
We meet the gang and go to rockin' joe's
The cats are stomping on their heels and toes
I grab my baby try and give her a squeeze
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
My daddy told me there be times like these
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money then she treats me cruel
I´m beggin for her kisses on bended knees
Give me some lovin' baby please please please
- harmonica solo -
I keep trying hard to make her mine
Some day the wind will blow the sun will shine
Until the time she puts my heart at ease
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She lock my heart and throw away the key
There's nothin' shakin' but the leaves on the trees
She's got a way that makes me act like a fool
Spends my money then she treats me cruel
I'm beggin for her kisses on bended knees

No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting the grooves, no time
Summer comes and summers gone
Winter sings it's very sad song
The saddest part of all it seems
How we lose most of our dreams
No time for making my moves, no time
I got no time for hitting the booze, no time
The clock it turns at a rapid pace
And takes us to another place
The train it goes from here to there
Just left me standin' here
No time for making my moves, no time
I got no time for hitting my grooves, no time
I had the blues this mornin'
I cried all day
I guess you lose the blues in the mornin'
If you cry the blues away
I got no time for hitting my grooves, no time
No time for making my moves, no time
No time and nothin' to lose
I got no time for hittin' the booze, no time
Lets go man, hmmm I got no time

No mo do yakamo
What you say, no more pay
Here's the catch, no more scratch
No mo do yakamo
No mo do yakamo
Living high, lying low
Living fast, dying slow
No mo do yakamo
Don't let it alarm ya
Think of it as karma
You were really burning for a while
Wasting every dime
Spending it like time
Guess you gonna have to change your style
No mo do yakamo
Living high, lying low
Living fast, dying slow

Got to have your love night and day
Not just a part but all your heart
Ninety-nine and a half
Just won't do
Yeah, it just won't do
I've got a half of real love and affection
Though we live, though we live in the wrong direction
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
Yeah, it just won't do
We got to bring it on down now

I've got a half of real love and affection

Well listen pretty baby
Let's go out tonight
Tell your mama not to worry
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't let me hear you talking
Just be there when I call
'cause I do I do my way
Or it won't be done at all
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
I was born a tiger, I've always had my way
Nothing's gonna change me on this or any day
Don´t let me hear you argue when I say walk or jump
A woman ain't been born yet that can play me for a chump
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
Don't ask me for a reason
Don't even wonder why
I'll walk away and leave you
I don't wanna see you cry
I've done a lot of planning
I´ve got lotta things to do
So don't give me no trouble
Or me and you are through
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way

My sugar likes to take a drink
To help her sleep and make her dream
She's on to something but now they think
There's not enough blood in her alcohol screen
When things get on top of her
There ain't no stoppin' her
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll
Now when it gets into her head
There ain't nothin' I can do
Her days are numbered the doctor said
Now she's drinking and counting too
When time is running out
Now there can be no doubt
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll
Eight bars I'm getting old
Now, in the morning her heads so thick
There's only one thing that she can do
One drink and she's a brand new girl
Then that brand new girl wants one too
When things get on top of her
There ain't no stoppin' her
When time is running out
Now there can be no doubt
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll
My sugar turns to alcohol
One trip to the watering hole
My sugar turns to alcohol
One more drip will take it's toll

Got lots of money
Got lots of phony friends
I can drink lots of whiskey
I can drink lots of gin
I know every guy in this town
When my money runs out
I won't have these friends around
I drove to the boogaloo club
I walked right on in
Everybody knows me
By the money that I spend
Well I finally realized
That these buddies tell lies
In fact they're no good friends
Money makes some folks frown
Money makes some folks steal
Money gets some folks hurt
Money gets some folks killed
I don't trust nobody
Not even my buddy, buddy friends
I know they'll stab me in the back
Took away my baby's ring
Well I finally realized
That these buddies tell lies
In fact they're no good friends
Money makes some folks frown
Money makes some folks steal
Money gets some folks hurt
Money gets some folks killed
I don't trust nobody
Not even my buddy, buddy friends
I know they'll shoot me in the back
Just took away my baby's ring
Well I finally realized
That these buddies tell lies
In fact they're no good friends
Oh I finally realized
That these buddies tell lies
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no cheatin', not my babe
Oh yes, she don't stand no cheatin'
She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she loves me
She don't do nothin' but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
My babe, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no foolin'

She's my baby, true little baby

Told so many damned lies and you know I've got away
Well I've lied around the world and I lied about the news
So it's me you'll belive when I've lied about the blues
- guitar solo -
Me and john lee hooker played a muddy water song
Working on the chain gang in the alabama sun
I'm a liar baby but I only lie for you
There is nothin' in this world I wouldn't do for you
I'm a liar baby but you know it's just for fun
Don't know minnie lola(? ) so put away your gun
Lying about the blues
(keith 'lew' lewis)
Waiting on the station for the train to stand in line
Your head is full of summin' and your feet is keeping time
You can't stop moving while you're waiting for that train
Your body's pumpin' boogie and it's reaching to your brain
It's times like that you played your lucky seven
And the seven bought the time right back
Weaving through the alleyways and walking down the streets
Your bones starts shakin there's a rhythm in your feet
Heading for a place where some friends are hanging round
Riding on the yard back to the south side of town
Well it's times like that you played your lucky seven
And the seven bought the time right back
- break - harmonica solo -
Down into the basement the things were getting hot
The band was getting wound up people boogin' on the spot
High headed honey said 'the lights are getting low'
Take her by the hand she want's to go go go
It's times like that you played your lucky seven
And the seven bought the time right back
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven time right back
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven time right back
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
Lucky seven
(wilko johnson)
You walk right in
Don't see nobody turn around
Get no connections
You're just a face in any crowd
Some let you know
The good times are coming
Just wait until you tell 'em right
Keep it out of sight
Keep it out of sight
You movin' up
Man, the place is getting hot
You just can't lose
With all that stuff that you got
You know the people understand
You got a reputation
You don't wanna argue fuss and fight
Keep it out of sight
Keep it out of sight
You got enough
You got a new thing on your mind
Don't have nobody
You gotta leave the scene behind
You put your foot down on the boards
You don't know where you're going
But your headlights are burning up the night
Keep it out of sight
(rick danko, emmett grogan)
Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter
Asked if she could help in any way
I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company
I asked her for some java
Instead she brought a cup of chickory
A taste of java is like a volcanic rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinking too much
Costs many more than you care to pay
But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java blues... coffee's got me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee
Java blues... well the coffee's got me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin coffee till I die
Java blues
Won't you boil me water, fill up my cup
You know it takes alot to keep me up
Down in bolivia, the people are insane
They want as much for java as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java blues... coffee's got me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee
Java blues... you don't know what it does to me
Java blues... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin coffee till I die
(nick lowe/gypie mayo)
I stand accused of late night crime
She picked me out of an i.d. line
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
No matter what you say
I was miles away
It wasn't me
Things look bad
In our fast lane
The judge looks mad
But this is a frame
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
This is a real nightmare
Cause I was elsewhere
It wasn't me
Now I've been in trouble one time before
But why in hell they wanna nail me now
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
This time it ain't no use
I ain't got no proof
It wasn't me
This time it ain't no use
I ain't got no proof
It wasn't me
- guitar break -
She turn on the tears
She starts to cry
The jury
's out I'll say bye bye it wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
They think I'm tellin' lies I was a passerby
It wasn't me
Now I like to drink like anyone else
But I'm nearly sure it wasn't myself
It wasn't me
No sir, it wasn't me
It was a cold black night
And she wasn't my type
It wasn't me
It was a cold black night
And she wasn't my type

Some people talk, some people act
They criticise, but don't react
They wind you up, they put you down
Hold your head up, with your feet on the ground
If you want to keep yourself alive
You'd better use all your instinct to survive
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
We get down low, we get up high
We don't expect, no easy ride
This water's muddy, this water's deep and it's wide
If you want to keep yourself alive
You'd better use all your instinct to survive
Don't it sometimes feel like someone's telling you lies
Winding you up with them false alibis
No use you believing everything that people say
You got to keep on moving, whatever comes your way
Another day, another year
Another good time, and one more tear
We climb the mountain, we reach the top
We keep on running, and we run 'til we drop
If you want to keep yourself alive
You'd better use all your instinct to survive
If you want to keep yourself alive
(bobby miller)
If walls could talk then I'm sure you'd hear
A whole lot of things that would make you cry, my dear
So ain't you glad, ooh, ain't you glad
That walls don't talk
No they never talk
If doors could tell who turned the knobs
When he's away, working on his job
Now ain't you glad, oh, you ought to be glad
That doors don't talk
No, they don't
You know, if cars could say just who's been inside
And exactly whom has been taken for a ride
Now ain't you glad, I know you ought to be glad
That cars don't talk
Oh no, they don't talk
- harmonica & guitar "duett" -
If shoes could tell, tell where they've been
When you claim that you were visiting a friend
Now ain't you glad, oh ain't you glad
That shoes don't talk
No, they just walk
Well, in a world of trouble we'd be if things ever told on me
My love life would be through 'cos I'm guilty, how about you?
If things ever talked that way
Ain't no telling what they might say
So ain't you glad, everybody ought to be glad
That things don't talk
I tell you, they don't talk about you
Oh I'm so glad
I'm so very glad
That things don't talk

If my baby quit me, don't know what I'm gonna do
If my baby quit me, don't know what I'm gonna do
Yeah, I'm crazy 'bout my baby
Baby, I'm crazy for you
But I love my baby better than I love myself
But I love my baby better than I love myself
But she left me for another man
Left my loving up on the shelf
If my baby quit me
If my baby quits me
If my baby quit me...
I don't know what I'm gonna do
It could kill a man what that woman been putting down
It could kill a man what that woman been putting down
You better watch yourself
You been messin' with that known mess around
If my baby quit me
If my baby quits me
If my baby quit me...
This is actually a Ray Charles version. I don't know if Dr. Feelgood is the
same song or not.
I?ve Got News For You ? Ray Charles
You said before me met
that your life was awful tame
Well, I took you to a night club
and the whole band knew your name. Oh,
Well, baby, baby, baby
I've Got News For You
Oh, somehow your story don't ring true,
Well, I've got news for you.
Well, you phoned me you'd be late
cause you took the wrong express
and then you walked in smiling
with your lipstick all a mess
Oh, let me say to you little mama,
Wo, I've Got News for you
Ah, your story don't ring true li?l girl
Yeah, I've got news for you.
(Instumental - subdominant bridge)
(A section solo)
Oh, you wore a diamond watch,
claimed it was from Uncle Joe.
When I looked at the inscription
it said love from Daddy-O.
Oh, well baby, wo lil girl, I wanna say
I've Got News For You.
Ah, if you think that jive will do
Let me tell you, oh,

Sitting in a downtown discotheque
Saw a cute little girl that stole my breath away
Line of guys that had the eyes on her
To my surprise she said 'i beg you sir'
I stay
I thought I had it made
Sat at a table for a couple of drinks
Moving closer and she kissed my neck
That's when I knew that I was in with a chance
Records were a playing and she asked for a dance
They played
I thought I had it made
- guitar break -
We were a swinging to the moody blues
Looked into my eyes I thought I blew a fuse
Music stopped playing the lights went out
Dropped my drink when I heard them shout
It's a raid
I thought I had it made
Hey everybody take a look at me
Didn't come to until a quarter past three
Got no money couldn't put up the bail
Judge said 'son, I'm gonna keep you in jail.'
I stay
I thought I had it made
Thought I had it
I thought I had it made

If this life is driving you to drink
You're sitting around wondering just what to think
Well I got some consolation
I'll give it to you if I might
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
You know this world's just one big trouble spot
Some have and some have not
You know, I used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
Don't waste your time trying to be a go-getter
Things will get worse before they get any better
You know there's always somebody playing with dynamite
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
I don't worry about a thing

People tell me about bad breaks
Business is bad and the loss they've made
Don't give me your mistakes
That's one line I can't take
Man I don't wanna know
Seen the look in a young girls eye
Her needs to love but bye and bye
She'd drag me down if she could
And I know that ain't no good
Girl I don't wanna know

It's an eastern promise, it's a pot of gold
It's the oldest story that's ever been told, that's right
You can follow me but you gonna have to pay
Heaven's at the end of this alleyway tonight
Hong kong money
Let that dollar roll
All you need is the cash
The rest ain't nothing but trash
Hong kong money
Stole my soul
Tried hard to shake it but I guess I couldn't make it
Lord only knows it's hard on the opium run
I didn't really wanna hang around too long
Just wasn't my dish of egg fou yung no fun
Hong kong money
Let that dollar roll
Just as long as you make with the green
You'll be cool if you know what I mean
Hong kong money
Stole my soul
You can make it quick but you can lose it easy
You go in clean but you come out wheely, here's why
It's that yellow powder, it's sweet but it's sour
One false move and you can kiss this world goodbye
Hong kong money
Let that dollar roll
All you need is the cash
The rest ain't nothing but trash
Hong kong money
Stole my soul
Hey you!
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll

The way you got me holdin' your door
I can't do my homework anymore
I can't do my homework anymore
Oh baby, I said you got me so blind
I'm walkin' 'round in circles, I could loose my mind
The way you got me holdin' your door
I can't do my homework anymore
Now baby you're as sweet as you can be
Everything you do keep on sending me
Just the kiss of your lips or the touch of your hand
Everything you do is really grand
Oh baby, oh, now what can I do
I'm walkin' round in circles in love with you
The way you got me holdin' your door
I can't do my homework anymore
Now baby you're as sweet as you can be

Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want
Do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages

Well my parole officer
Will be proud of me
With my olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Well I kno karate, voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To hannibal or maybe
Just rex
Change my name to hannibal
Or maybe just rex
I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart
And I'm going out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Going out west
Going out west

Night has fallen
All is still
The room is empty
I miss you so bad
Sitting in the moonlight
I think of times gone by
Painful memories
Bringing tears to my eyes
I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
I thought I heard a heartbeat
Temperature's rising
The walls are closing in
I can't stand the feeling
Here it comes again
I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
I thought I heard a heartbeat
Night sounds like silence
Sorrow(? ) in the air
I hear something breathing
But there ain't no-one there
I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
Close my eyes and a face appears
Faded picture rolling back the years
Holding on to a memory
Same sweet sound - coming back to me
- harmonica solo -
Temperature's rising
The walls are closing in
I can't stand that feeling

We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roams
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
Well I'm a standin' on the street
And I'm a steppin' off the end
Yeah I'm lookin' for a lover
Lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
There's a girl my lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin' I'm lookin'
I'm lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin' everywhere
In the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the city
We're in the heart of the stars
I hear the crash of music
And a thousand guitars
And the boys are on the prowl
And they're checkin' on me
They know a bird up in the hand
Is worth two out on the streets
Checkin' on neat in the heart of the city
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah
Heart heart of the city
Heart heart oh yeah

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, but what a thrill

You come along and moved me, honey

Goodness gracious - great balls of fire

I've been working every day tryin' to make a penny or two
I've been breaking my back workin' the whole week through
But I wouldn't mind if I had to work the weekend too
(I tell you why)
I'm just a fool for you honey
Nobody else but you
You make a fool of me honey
Nobody does it like you
You've got to look me in the eye
I'm just a fool for you
You make me weak in the knees
I shiver from my top to my toes
I've got an aching head
Tears runnin' down my nose
You've got a hold of me honey
Ain't that the way it goes

He wouldn't give me no prescription
He said 'you've come to the wrong place'

Well I locked my heart up long ago
And I threw away the key
But you opened the door to your precious love
And I want the whole world to see
How you brought it on home to me
And it feels good
From my head to my toes
You got me tingling all over in side
Yes it feels good
And I'm here to let you know
It's a feeling that I can't hide
No other girl does it quite like you
I'd always get the third degree
I had nobody to do the hoodoo that you do
'till you put the voodoo on me
And it's better than I thought it would be
Because it feels good
From my hat to my shoes
You got me jumping like never before
Yes it feels good
Just too good to lose
Better baby do it some more
I need your sweetness like a jet needs fuel
Won't you let me guide through your love
Don't lean on me baby, don't be cruel
You know what I'm dreaming of
- saxophone solo -
This rocket in my pocket
Well it's burning hot
It's itching on a launching pad
'cause you've got what I want
And you need what I got
You give me something that I've never had
And it's so good it's just got to be bad
Although it feels good
From my head to my toes
You got me tingling all over in side
Yes it feels good
And I've got to let you know
It's a feeling I just can't hide
Well it feels good
From my hat to my shoes
You got me rockin' like never before
Feels good
It's too good to lose
Open up baby, give me more
Feels good - tingling in side
Feels good - mmmm
Feels good - rocket in my pocket
Feels good - ahhh haaa

Jimmy was a winner back in his home town
People came to see him play from miles around
Then one morning he woke up and looked himself in the face
Said I'm going round in circles I ain't gettin' no place
All this working for peanuts is getting way out of hand
I've had about as much of it as I can stand
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Goodbye small time from tonight
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Jimmy gave his notice headed down to the smoke
Well it wasn't too much later he was hungry and broke
He'd been paying out good money for a hole in the wall
Gigging every night and earning nothing at all
Said the work that I've been dreaming of is way out of reach
I've got to be a bigger pebble on a smaller beach
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Drop, drop everything and run
I want fame, fortune, my name up in lights
Now it's 'hello home town, bye tonight'
Gonna' drop, drop everything and run
Oooh aaahhh that crazy jimmy
Oooh aaahhh

Now it's 'hello home town, bye tonight'
Gonna' drop, drop everything
Drop, drop everything

I'm going down by the jetty
Tonight the tide is high
It's tankers in the channel laying
Flames up in the sky
I'm going down by the jetty
(Be)fore I leave this world behind
'Cause that oil slick on the water
Is band to ease my worried mind
My face is slowly burning
My eyes are turning red
In the shadow of the refinery, baby
Tonight I'll make my bed
I'm going down by the jetty
(Be)fore I leave this world behind
(Fore I leave this world behind)
'Cause that oil slick on the water
Is band to ease my worried mind
- Harmonica and Guitar Solo -
The air is filled with poison
The sea is thick with grease
Somewhere in this hell on earth
I'll surely get some peace
With one foot on the water
And one foot on the pier
I'm ready for the next world
To get me outta here
I'm going down by the jetty
(Be)fore I leave this world behind
'Cause that oil slick on the water
Is bound to ease my worried mind

I called you last night about half past nine
You said you was out but I knew you was lyin'
You double crossed me baby
Cheatin' on me too
When are you gonna understand
Someone double crossin' you

When you gonna tell me what it's all about

Somebody turned out your bedroom light
You double crossed me baby

Double crossed me baby

Standin' there by the window
Starin' out of the night
You got so many troubles
Of a nervous mind
But don't worry baby
S'gonna work out fine
You hear the sound of footsteps
Steal across the floor
You pick the receiver
You don't know what for
Then you saw a shadow
Steppin through the door
Why don't worry baby
What the world may bring
Why don't worry baby
It won't change a thing
Cause life is a fight
And then you die
Standin' there by the window
Starin' out of the night
See your lover leaning
Against the old street light
But don't worry baby
S'gonna be alright
He was a tossin' and turnin'
And he just couldn't sleep
Said you shouldn't bother
It was just a dream
So where was he goin'
Headin' down the street
Why don't worry baby
What the world may bring
Why don't worry baby
It won't change a thing
Because life is a fight

I'm going down the road, stop at fannie mae's
Gonna tell fannie what I've heard her boyfriend say
Don't start me that talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go
Jack gave his wife two dollars, go down town, get smartened
Gets out on the street, old george stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie

You look so young and sweet
You're taking time off school
Oh angel keep it cool
He worries so
Don't let your daddy know

What if the neighbour saw
One thing just before I go
Don't let your daddy know

I wake up every morning with a vacant smile
Grab the telephone and call my honey child
She's date bait
Mine, all mine, all mine
She's sweeter than any grape that ever grew on a vine
Out of all the girls around here baby, you're my choice
I get the heebie jeebies when I hear your voice
You're date bait
Mine, all mine, all mine
You're sweeter than any grape that ever grew on a vine
Well, mama's got the bucket, papa's got the top
Baby's in the cradle, saying "say it on to pop"

Don't call my name, I just must answer
This ain't no game, I ain't no chanter
Don't get me wrong, I don't want trouble
You come back strong, I'll come back double
I don't mess around, I'm dangerous
She's like a knife, sharp but pretty
She'll break your heart just for fun
You bet your life, you'll get no pity
She'll drop you flat when it's done
Look but just don't touch, she's dangerous

Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up
When the smoke begins to clear
On the circus you got here
We see the poor boy wait
And the hour is getting late
Crack me up
The way you run the place
Crack me up
But there's no smile upon my my face
It don't make me feel so grand
That you got the upper hand
And it's bound to bring me down
But it's the only show in town
Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up
I beg and I bawl, I hope you'll hear my plea
But you sit in that chair, your back to me
I shake and I shout, I call for something wet
But you just sit and smoke that cigarette
Crack me up
The way you run the show
Crack me up
Need somewhere to go

Baby, you got it coming to you

Baby, you better come through
Clean up your acts
I'm grinding my axe
Baby, you got it coming to you
I'm sorry you're not glad about it
In fact I'm even proud about it

You've had your day
Get down on your knees girl, start to pray
Love isn't blind
You better hope I'll change my mind

Sharp suit, big car
Who do you think you are ?
Moving real fast
How long can it last ?
Don't push your luck too far
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar

She laughs, you smile
You think that's style
Like hiding on the bed
She touched you there
You're reaching for the stars
I'll tell you where you are
You're close but no cigar
You're close but no cigar
No truth or lies have passed alibis
She'll swear she's square

I made some money playing this here guitar
Filled in a form and went and bought myself a car

Got my bags all packed
If you're comin' with me get in the motor
Throw your suitcase in the back

Ain't getting younger and it's time I got around
Gotta' go some places I ain't never been before
When I turn that corner mamma you won't see me no more

Sheila sheila well what you know
I should have said this a long time ago
You got a case of the shakes
A case of the shakes
You make me tired when your permanently wired
Baby got another classic case of the shakes
Getting out of bed you just can't stand
Stir your coffee with a shaky hand
You got a case of the shakes
A case of the shakes
You make me tired when your permanently wired
Baby got another classic case of the shakes
Listen baby now listen good
You won't come down and I wish you would
A case of the shakes
A case of the shakes
I think it's time that you started trying
You'll be dying with a case of the shakes
Don't just think you're the only girl
I some times think that the rest of the world
Has got a case of the shakes
Case of the shakes
You make me tired when your permanently wired
Baby got another classic case of the shakes
Case of the shakes, got a case of the shakes

I just want to seek your love
And you to call my name
But I'm tied to another heart
Like a ball and chain
Shackled to a touch
That's as cold as steel
And all I need is for you to say to me
That our love is real to break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
So break these chains
You have opened my eyes
And I've finally seen
Love turns to a tie that binds when it's judgemeny day
She is not my lover
She's just a prison door
Say the words you know will turn me loose
I can't take this pain no more
Break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
So break these chains
Straps so tight they're cutting me
Cuts so deep they make my heart bleed
Only you could set me free
All it takes is your touch
To break these chains
- guitar solo -
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same

I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never never be the same
Oh lord - break these chains
Never never never never never going back
I don't wanna go back - no

Some say you're a scrubber
Some say you're contagious too
I don't care when they shoot the air
From where I'm standing you're beautiful
Some say that you're ugly
Some say that you're past it too

Cause the oldest fiddle plays the sweetest tune
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world

Some say you're a danger
Some say you're a teaser too
Sticks and stones will never break your bones

I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world
I want you best in the world

I'll be watching over everything that you do
I ain't lying I say you can't leave me

I'll believe that we will never part
Everything I said
You can't forget because it's written on your heart
Each and every time your heart beats you remember
That you're mine

Stand and watch the towers burning at the break of day
Steadily slowing down, been on my feet since yesterday
Gotta get a move on tryin´ to find a man I know
Money in my pocket, looking for a place to go
I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
Streets are full of signs, arrows pointing everywhere
Parks are full of people trying to get a breath of air
Listen to the weatherman praying for a drop of rain
Look into the sky, the sky is full of aeroplanes
I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
Walking in the main drag pass the afternoon away
The sun is going down, the streets are still as bright as day
See the shiny cars driving round detecting crime
Hear the sirens wail, the cops are only killing time
I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
I've been searching all through the city
See you in the morning down by the jetty
I've been searching, I've been a searching for you

Poor boy, up west, and the action wasn't going my way
Rich girl, best dressed, lookin' like she come out to play
I stood back, you swept passed, I decided that I'd give it a shot
I stepped in, I moved fast, I thought I'd give it everything that I'd got
We take tea at the ritz, I take you down to the docks
You can rely on me to lower the tone
You call me your bit of rough, I call you my bit of stuff
You ain't brass, you're a touch of class
I like a pint, you like your bubbles
We have a whip round when you order your drink
You're in who's who, I'm whose in trouble
You're upper class and I'm the missing link
You got a bun(? ) in your mouth and too much time on your hands
I got an accent, you can cut with a knife
Your dad's a bit of a snob but mine's a terminal slob
You ain't brass, you're a touch of class
We go dutch, it ain't much
I knew a classy girl like you wouldn't mind
A bit rough, a bit tough, a bit of low life knocks that perfect punch

You got a race horse at home, you keep him down on the farm

You ain't brass

I ain't gonna try and tell ya
How it's made me so blue
Sitting alone and wondering
I wanna make love to you

Girls if your heart is feeling sore
Call the doctor and he'll fix it for sure
I'll be over right away but you might find you have to pay
For a private consultation and a guaranteed cure
When you're dying of a dreadful disease
You don't worry 'bout the medical fees
And it's too late to change your mind the doctors pulling down the blind
And your temperature is rising to a hundred degrees
I'll cuddle up beside you for a start
And listen to the beating of your heart
And then he'll take you gently by the hand
And ask you when the trouble first began
And then he'll look down deep into your eyes
And if your temperature continues to rise
There's only one way to make it stop
I'll have to prescribe the strongest medicine I've got
If this doesn't cure you it'll kill
But I know it's going to give you a thrill
And now I've come across don't complain about the cost
You shouldn't call the doctor if you can't afford the bills
I'll cuddle up beside you for a start
And listen to the beating of your heart
And then he'll take you gently by the hand
And ask you when the trouble first began
And then he'll look down deep into your eyes
And if your temperature continues to rise
There's only one way to make it stop
I'll have to prescribe the strongest medicine I've got
If this doesn't cure you it'll kill
But I know it's going to give you a thrill
And now I've come across don't complain about the cost

Before you go away
You keep me worried
And you get yours one day
Watch your step (4 x)

Cos you'll be hurtin' down inside
You better leave me all your money
Before you go away
Don't think I'm falling for it
All I gotta say is
Watch your step (4 x)
Cos when you take your love from me
Be full of misery
I'm gonna miss your loving every night
Get myself together
I´m gonna be alright
Watch your step (4 x)

Juke box jenny standing in the corner searching for another dime
All dressed up and ready to go, if I had money I would make her mine
Working like a dog all week long I got the money in my hand
I can pay my bills, I can buy some pills but I'm going to see a rock n' roll band.

Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
Always looking for something to gossip about
You're going around from door to door
Shooting your mouth about things you don't know
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about how I treat my wife
You tell everybody we fuss and fight every night
If you cause me trouble it's your trouble too
Something bad's gonna happen to you
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry who knocks on my front door
You're walking, talking, pacing all over the floor
Screaming and scheming right through the halls
You got your big ears, man glued to my walls
Neighbour neighbour
Don't worry about what goes on in my house
In my home
In my home

I smoke five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away
I drink four-five bottles of wine
I had a glass in my hand all the time
Thought breakin' those habits was hard to do
Not compared with the changes you put me through
Tryin' to live my life without you baby
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear
I got the worst reputation around
Chasing all the women in town
I thought changing my bad livin' was hard to do
But the hardest habit baby, was loving you
I'll done all the things that I'll had to do
It's gonna take a miracle to get over you
Tryin' to live my life without you baby
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest burden I'll ever bear

I don't get nothing to nobody
But I get everything for you
My hopes, my plans
My dreams my friends
And most of my money to
If I got one thing left to give
I swear that I haven't a clue
The more I give the less I get from you
My friends told me that a womans love
Is a most peculiar thing
You treat 'em bad, steal their cash
And they treat you like a dog gone king
I never listened to their advice
But now I must admit that it's true
The more I give the less I get from you

Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave
You walked out and left me
I didn't see you for days
And then you let me know you're coming back here again
When you write me a letter without a word to explain
Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave
Got up early in the morning
Just to see you arrive
The sun was rising
There were clouds in the sky
Well I waited at the window I did not understand
When I saw you at the corner with another man
Oh babe
That ain't the way to behave

Now you're leaving
You're taking everything you own
I ain't complaining

Keep looking back over your shoulder
You don't know who might be there
Hiding under your bed or right behind your chair
Watching every move now and hearing every word
Be careful what you say now, you might be overheard
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
He might be near
He's watching from the tv
He waits to make a pass
You pour him from a bottle
He's smiling from your glass
He talks through women's lips now
He laughs through those eyes
Shooting from the hip now
It's all a batch of lies
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't say I didn't warn you
'cause I'm a man who knows
Who wishes he'd never been born
Bad from head to toe
Better keep your nose clean
And keep your cards to your chest
The only thing you can do know
Is keep hoping for the best
Don't talk of the devil

Like a big ol' jar of worms with skinny legs
Can't see no chicken sittin' on a pigeons egg
Like a big ol' bag of nails hard bitten too
Good thing for me
I've got someone sweeter than you
Bye bye baby, might see you later
Sittin' in the bar of the sugar shaker
When I get home from work
And want something to eat
All you ever feed me baby
Taste like monkey meat
Like a big ol´ bag of nails hard bitten too
Good thing for me
I've got someone sweeter than you
Bye bye baby, might see you later
Sittin' in the bar of the sugar shaker

Climb hard down the night hawks
Higher than they ever been
Bolder than the brass baby
Turned your fingers green
Like a big ol' bag of nails hard bitten too
Good thing for me
I've got someone sweeter than you
Bye bye baby, might see you later
Sittin' in the bar of the sugar shaker
Bye bye baby, might see you later
Sittin' in the bar of the sugar shaker
This is where I loose my temper with the waiter
Sittin' in the bar of the sugar shaker
This is where I loose my faith in human nature

Well I'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Robert johnson, elmore james
I'm standing at the crossroads again
Well I woke up this morning like I usually do
My baby was nowhere around
I looked in the mirror, I looked in the hall
In my slippers and my dressing gown
There were lipstick traces on the bedroom door
Goodbye she wrote, I don't want you no more
I guess I'm not the man she was looking for
But just the man she found
Well I'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names
Robert johnson, elmore james
I'm standing at the crossroads again
Here I am on my own again
Where did I go wrong this time
I treat them good like a gentleman should
And I never ever step out of line
I'm no kid I know my way around
Six foot six, I weigh 200 pounds
But I can't hold no romance down
Maybe I should give up trying
Well I'm standing at the crossroads again
With an empty heart and a dollar ten
Maybe I'll bump into some famous names

I'm standing at the crossroads again

I've got this girl, she's got this man
I do my best, I try to do what I can
She's in the middle

She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn
I say to her that she's a mixed-up kid
She says to me, she says she know what she did
She's in the middle
She's in the middle
She's in the middle and
She doesn't know which way to turn
Caught between two lovers, that's how the story goes
This could be the end and I hope you can see
What you're doing to me
I can see you love him, I don't mind
But why do you have to have two of a kind?

If you've ever been down to new orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
All through the week it's as quiet as a mouse
But on saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay when you only mention
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician
If you just happen to be passing by
Stop in at the saturday night fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the bandstand
Fooling around, just me and him
We decided we could use something to eat
So we went to a house on rampart street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
A light-skinned miss said 'come in, please'
Before we could even bat an eye
We was right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yelling
The bottles were flying and the fish were smelling
From way up above all the noise they made
Somebody hollered 'better get outta here, this is a raid'
I didn't know we were breaking the law
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had locked up from the front and the back
Putting them in the wagon like potato sacks
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
I knew I could away if I had the chance
But I was shaking like I had st. vitus' dance
I tried to crawl under a bathtub
A policeman said 'hey, now where you going, bud? '
They got us outta there like a house on fire
And put us all in that black mariah
They might of missed one or two
But they got both me and my buddy too
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and she went my bail
Finally got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eye
Just mention a saturday night fish fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
Don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
You got a new way of walking, got a new way of talking
You think that you're fooling me and I can't dig it
Girl I got a message, coming down the wire
Better that you know yourself
You've been rocking with somebody new
And it hurts all over my feelings
You've been rocking with somebody new
You got a new way of dressing and a new way of dancing
You think that you're fooling me and I can't see it
Girl I got a message, coming down the wire
Better that you know yourself
You've been rocking with somebody new
And it hurts all over my feelings
You've been rocking with somebody new
Well, I'm still gonna be with you
Never gonna be the same
People been talking 'bout this business for years
Still, the same old game
You got a new way of kissing that I've been missing
You think that you're fooling me and I can't tell
Girl I got a message, coming down the wire
Better that you know yourself
You've been rocking with somebody new
And it hurts all over my feelings
You've been rocking with somebody new

I had a house I had a car
I used to smoke the best cigars
The taste of oysters and champagne
Now it's all gone down the drain
Cause she's gone left me stretched out on the floor
Wonder can I take it any more
And I'm punch drunk...
I had a horse it couldn't lose
Get ready for the real good news
I started writin' massive cheques
A nose from home it broke it's neck
I'm in debt for a terrible amount
It's a wonder I ain't gone down for the count
And I'm punch drunk...
I saw a way to make cash fast
I should have known it wouldn't last
I got taken for the sap
Not only that I took the rap
Makes me feel like throwing in the towel
Been in better places than the jail
And I'm punch drunk...
Punch drunk, I'm punch drunk, baby I'm punch drunk,
And I'm punch drunk, yes I'm punch drunk

Went out walking I recall
Me and my best girl along the wall
In the long grass side by side
Where the big ships go gliding by, go gliding by
Skylark singing in the sun
Something told me she's the one
When I looked down into her eyes
I saw pictures of paradise... of paradise... of paradise
Everynight you look so mean
Staring at your tv screen
Back when we where seventeen
You turned me around irene irene
When the days got colder time went by
Dark cloud rising into the sky
I just sat there gazing on
Like a tower of babylon... of babylon
I went wandering far from home
Left my good girl all on her own
I went back there she got the power
See me through my darkest hour... my darkest hour... my darkest hour
Everynight you look so mean
Staring at your tv screen
I got lost inside a dream
You brought me back irene irene
People talking but they don't know
Where I've been to or where I'll go
World keep turning all things change
I love two girls I ain't ashamed... I ain't ashamed
All your loving it thrills me so
I can't go with you I just can't go
A thousand highways you don't live twice
Only one road to paradise... to paradise... to paradise
Everynight you look so mean
Staring at your tv screen
Thinkin about what might have been

I might buy me a jaguar
I might fly to nicaragua
Maybe sail up the amazon
Or take a fast train to basildon
Honolulu sounds very nice
But I've already been there twice
I'll think I'll go mediterranean
Just to get back on the sea again
Well there's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
Well here's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
I only have to pick up the telephone
But I'll guess I'll just stay here
'cause there's no place like home

I like the idea of a cheverolet
But I'll have better when I get my pay
I'm gonna get me a mercury
Or maybe stick with my 2cv
Got my bags packed for peking
But I'll stay and fix the ceiling
While I'm here take in a tv show
I'll should be off by tomorrow
Well there's nothing like it

As I get on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver "hey conductor, you must slow down,
I think I see her, please let me off the bus!"
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new
I saw her from the corner as she turned and doubled back
And started walking towards her coffee coloured cadillac
I'm pushing through the crowd trying to get to where she's at
And I was campain shouting like a southern diplomat(? ? ? )
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new
Well I was downtown searching for her looking all around
I saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi paid off everybodies tab
I've slipped a twenty dollar bill and said "catch that yellow cab!"
Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you got something else to do
Oh nadine

Well, she moves around like a wayward summer breeze
"go driver go go, catch her for me please!"

Leaning out the taxi window, tryin' to make her hear

I'm like a monkey you will see
That I'll monkey on you baby
Tell me that you'll monkey on me
I'll monkey on you

White boy in town
Big black, blue sound
Night Club, I paid in
I got a stamp on my skin.
Main attraction nearly dead on his feet
Black man rhythm with a white boy beat
They got him on milk and alcohol.
They got him on milk and alcohol.
Stay put, I wanna go
Hard work, bad show
More liquor don't help
He's gonna die, breaks my heart.
I decided that eventually
This ain't doin' a thing for me
They got him on milk and alcohol.
They got him on milk and alcohol.
They got him on milk and alcohol.
They got him on milk and alcohol.
They got him on milk and alcohol.
They got him on milk and alcohol.
Got up, I walked out
To the car, started up
Feel bad, sad night
Never saw a red light.
Sirens were screaming all around
I pulled on over and I shut her down
The black cop gave me a shove with his gun
Sit up against the wall and don't make a run.
They got me on milk and alcohol.
They got me on milk and alcohol.
They got me on milk and alcohol.

This feeling that's true
Honey I can hardly stand it
I wanna make love to you
When the stars fall from the heavens
And the rivers have stopped to flow
If you just stop and talk to me
Honey that's when I know
I ain't gonna try and tell ya
How it's made me so blue
Sitting alone and wondering
I wanna make love to you

You treat a man like a dog and that's just what you get
You may try to leave him but he'll follow you yet
Can't do a thing to get him off a your trail
You better give up, he's hot on your tail
You used to laugh at me when I said I'll come back
You let me roll over, you let me play dead
You think your little lap dog is dragging you down
I'm a ooh love hound
You went downtown and I followed you there
A sniff of perfume still hung in the air
You took the taxi, I took my time
Rolled down the window and you hid me outside
You used to laugh at me when I said I'll come back
You let me roll over, you let me play dead
You think your little lap dog is dragging you down
I'm a ooh love hound
No earthly reason to live in my home
Just pure motor reflex is keeping me going
Don't bother explaining it'll bring me down, child
All I can hear is the call of the wild
You can tease your little puppy mama, that's alright
But when they grow up they just love to fight
You tremble in the dark when you hear that sound
I'm a ooh love hound
A love hound howls under the moon
A love hound gonna come and love you soon
Love you baby till the morning light
Feel that little old love hound bite
Open up your window mama, what's that sound
As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl did I meet
She's looking all so sweet
Just like an angel from her head to her feet
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
She glowed with such a beautiful smile
She must have been a beautiful child
Man, she was all so neat
An angel from her head to her feet
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
Her hair was curly shining bright
Her shoes in black were just delight
She wore the very best of clothes
And also black and nylon hose
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see
If I was looking back at her
As I was walking down the street
A pretty girl did I meet
She was looking all so sweet
Just like an angel from her head to her feet
I was looking back
She was looking back
I was looking back at her
I was looking back to see
If she was looking back to see

I should have quit you long time ago
I should have quit you babe, long time ago
I should have quit you, oh, way down to mexico
Well, if I'd had followed my first mind
If I'd had of followed my first mind
I'd have been long gone, oh, as(? ) my second time
- saxophones break -
Well, I should have went off when my friend come for mexico and me
I should have went off when my friend come for mexico and me
But now I'm through with you babe
Now that you got me quitting on the killing floor
God knows I should have been gone
Oh, God knows, God knows I should have been gone
And I wouldn't a been here down on the killing floor
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode...
Who never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.
Go Go... Go Johnny Go... Go... Go Johnny Go
Go... Go Johnny Go Go... Go Johnny Go
Go... Johnny B. Goode
He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
[Well] sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made.
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my but that little country boy could play
Go Go... Go Johnny Go... Go... Go Johnny Go
Go... Go Johnny Go Go... Go Johnny Go
Go... Johnny B. Goode
[ SOLO ]
His mother told him someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.
Go Go... Go Johnny Go...
(Rick Danko, Emmett Grogan)
Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter
Asked if she could help in any way
I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company
I asked her for some Java
Instead she brought a cup of chickory
A taste of Java is like a volcanic rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinking too much
Costs many more than you care to pay
But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java Blues... coffee's got me
Java Blues... coffee coffee coffee
Java Blues... well the coffee's got me
Java Blues... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin coffee till I die
Java blues
Won't you boil me water, fill up my cup
You know it takes alot to keep me up
Down in Bolivia, the people are insane
They want as much for Java as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay
Java Blues... coffee's got me
Java Blues... coffee coffee coffee
Java Blues... you don't know what it does to me
Java Blues... coffee coffee coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Drinkin coffee till I die

I'm a real man, I got a real guitar
I'm a real man, don't even know where the boys are
Don't want to frighten you little girl, you're so sweet and nice
Don't want to have to tell you twice
I'm a real man,
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Yes I'm a real man, baby, I'm not lyin'
I'm thirty-four years old now and I still don't mind dyin'
You can put the voodoo on me, girl
There's nothing I can't dodge
Just check out this roller in my garage
Kids, these days, I'm talkin' about these young folk
About as wild as pollyanna after she growed up
After a hard day at the casiotone they just don't want to live
They're about as dangerous as a junior executive
I'm a real man,
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Every dollar I earn
Girl, I let it all burn
And if I wind up in jail
There's only one of 2672 women that I know
Who would gladly pay my bail
- guitar break -
Now you might say I'm just some fool on a boast
But I wasn't gonna hear ya girl from coast to coast
This ain't dan rather talkin', this ain't the president's son
I'm still gonna have my fun
I'm a real man
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Turn off that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Turn off that elevator music, in your computer program
I Don't Mind
Hey Little Baby Can We Go Strollin'
Don't You Just Know It
Got Me Rockin' And I Oughtta Be Rollin'
Don't You Just Know It
I Don't Mind If You Don't Keep Your Word
Walk And Talk I Don't Mind About That
I Don't Mind If The World Is Round
Rock Them All Under The Ground
'Cos I Don't Mind, I Don't Mind
I Don't Mind, Don't Make Me Worry
I Ain't Got Time
You've Been Sittin' Home All Alone
You've Been Talkin' On The Telephone
Oh Don't Tell Me That It's Only Your Friends
Try And Make Me Think That You're Mine Again
And I Don't Mind, I Don't Mind
I Don't Mind, I Don't Want The Worry
I Ain't Got TheTime
Oh Ain't That Something That Kind Of Talk
You Don't Understand What I'm Trying To Say Woman
I Don't Care If That Ain't What You Planned
I Know You Wanna Talk It Over One More Time
Last Time Nothing In Any Way
You Wouldn't Even Listen To A Word I'd Say
I Don't Mind, I Don't Mind
I Don't Mind, I Don't Want The Worry
And I Ain't Got The Time
I Don't Care About Anything
(will birch/gordon russel)
I ride a mare with a neck of steel
I pack a spare with a loaded wheel
Shoes and tie made of rhino hide
I keep an eye on the countryside
I'm hunting - shooting - fishing
Ahead of the pack
I keep an eye over my shoulder
But I never look back
I carry cash buried in my boot
I spit on thrash that I pass en route
I pay each fine with a mental note
I sign no line and decline to vote
I'm hunting - shooting - fishing
Ahead of the pack
I keep an eye over my shoulder
But I never look back
I never look back
- guitar solo -
I keep no files and no fixed abode
I eat up miles on a twisted road
I fight the sky with a lightning rod
I'm riding high by the grace of god
I know the names of the men and dives
I've heard the claims of their tortured wives
I've searched for clues caught 'em in the act
They've blown a fuse when I've made contact
I'm hunting - shooting - fishing
Ahead of the pack
I keep an eye over my shoulder
But I never look back
I never look back
I never look back
I never look back

God said to abraham 'kill me a son'
Abe said 'man, you must be putting me on'
God said 'no' - abe said 'what? '
God said 'you can do what you want abe,
But next time you see me coming you better run'
Abe said 'where'd you want this killing done? '
God said 'out on highway 61'
Georgia sam he had a bloody nose
The wellfare department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked poor howard 'where can I go? '
Howard says 'there's only one place I know'
Sam said 'tell me quick man I got to run'
Oh, howard he just pointed with his gun
He said 'that's way down highway 61'
Mack the finger said to louis the king
'i got fourty red-white-blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things? '
Louis the king said 'let me think for a minute son'
And he said 'yes, I think it can be easily done -
Just take everything down to highway 61'
Well the 5th daughter on the 12th night
Told the 1st father that things weren't right
My complexion she says is much too white
He says 'come here step into the light'
He says 'mam you're right - let me tell
The 2nd mother this has been love'
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son
And they were both out on highway 61
Now the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
He said 'i never engaged in this kind of thing before'
But yes, I think it can be very easily done
Well just put some bleachers out in the sun

Hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Your daughter she's old enough to make up her own mind
She's got sense enough to know whether she wanna be mine
Keep your big mouth shut
Hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
I said hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
I'm in love with your little girl
And your little girl is in love with me
You know we're together now and happy we could be
Keep your big mouth shut
I said hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Mmm hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut

You say I'm not good enough
To be your daughters man
But when trouble comes her way
I'll be right there to hold her hand
Keep your big mouth shut

Keep your big mouth shut
Why don't you ... hey mama
Keep your big mouth shut
Now your daughter she knows what she wants
She's got what she knows about
The way that she loves me mmmmm...

I go to the kitchen
You go to the hall
I say meet in springtime baby
You say wait till fall
You're always going some place else
You're always going some place else
I'll say baby
Let me take you to the stars
I'm up here on the moon
You're over there on mars
You're always going some place else
You're always going some place else
I don't want to spend my life
Talking to myself
Why must you always be going some place else
I'm climbin' mountains
While you go under ground
I look in the country
Baby you're out in the town
You're always going some place else
You're always going some place else
I go to the races
The day you go to church
I call in a private eye
And you call off the search
You're always going some place else
You're always going some place else
I don't want to spend my life
Walking by myself
Why must you always be going some place else
- guitar solo -
You´re at the riviera
And me I'm up the creek
I'm playing solitaire
You're dancing cheek to cheek
Going some place else
You're always going some place else
I gotta see you baby
No matter what the cost
Just as I start closing in
That's when our lines get crossed
You're always going some place else
You're always going some place else
I don't want to spend my life
Walking by myself
(wilko johnson/mick green)
I wanna live the way I like
Sleep all the morning
Goin' get my fun at night
Things ain't like that here
Workin' just to keep my payments clear
I bought a brand new motor
And I'm waitin' for a loan
So I can fill her up and start her
Then I'm going back home
I got a girl a man's best friend
I'd have her now if she'd just come back again
But she left me in the fog
Told me that I treat her like a dog
The last time that I saw her she was buryin' a bone
I'm tired of whistlin' for her
Then I'm going back home
Old johnny green he asked me in
We watched his tv and we drank a little gin
Then I float on down the street
Smilin' at the faces that I meet
That was back this morning
Now I'm dizzy sick and stoned
When the world stops turning
(j.b. lenoir/aley atkins)
Give me one more shot bartender, just before I go
Well, give me one more shot bartender, just before I go
I have had my fun and I don't feel well no more
Well, give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
Well, give me one more shot and I'll knock my own self out
Well, if I'm going down let me go down playing my part
If I'm going down let me go down playing my part
If I have me one more shot I will knock my own self out
Hey bartender, where have you been?
I need a shot of whiskey and I need a shot of gin
Just give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Well, give me one more shot and I'll knock my own self out
- guitar break -
Hey bartender, where have you been?

If everybody is saying that
Love is free
How come they keep it
Under lock and key
When it comes to love
You've gotta shop around
On and off, the foreman sell it by the pound
Every kind of vice
Is only merchandise
When you're making love
Check your wallet every minute
Cause that little girl
Wants everything that's in it
Another thing with love
Apart from the money
You might get stung
If you're stealing honey
Every kind of vice
Is only merchandise
When you're feeling down
And you take it on the streets
Take your boys, you'll need them
It's gonna lift you off your feet
You really gonna fly
When you remember what I said
Moaning like a sleeper
And you'll wish that you were dead
Now it's lovin' or it's leave her
Or it's this or that
The man who's selling tickets
That's getting fat
Every kind of vice

I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gon' get up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
I'm gon' write a letter, telephone every town I know
If I can't find her in west helena, she must be in east monroe I know
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
I don't want no woman, wants every downtown man she meet
She's a no good doney, they shouldn't 'low her on the street
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe I'll go back home
You can mistreat me here, babe, but you can't when I go home
And I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gettin' up in the mornin', I believe I'll dust my broom
Girlfriend, the black man you been lovin', girlfriend, can't get my room

People come to me and they say that I'm mad
They've heard a 100 stories never one of them bad
I can only tell them 'i'm as sane as can be'
There's only one thing brings out the madness in me
I'm crazy about women
I'm crazy about girls
I'm crazy about women
I'm crazy about girls
People can remind me of the things that I've done
I can only answer 'i was just havin' fun'
Seems my reputation is gettin' way out of hand
I can hardly help it 'cause I'm only a man

Went down to the employment agency lookin' for a job
I put on my finest clothes surley not a slob
First thing that you got to do is fill in a questionare
I beat up the doorman I got tossed out on my ear
I've got the bums rush again
Picked myself up, dusted off, only only bruised my pride
I saw a local barroom and I thought I step inside
I can see the barman watching thinking I'm a fool
I got up sort(? ) it out I fell of my stool
I've got the bums rush again
I've got the bums rush again
- guitar solo -
Thought I find another bar then I saw some lights
I want some female company not looking for a fight
I knew that I can have the pick of all the women there
I just started steamin' in when someone grabbed my head
Jerked my head back spun me around and slapped me round the ear
Maybe someones wonderin' just what I'm doin here
The biggest woman I've ever seen dragged me to my feet
(she) grabbed my wrists, brokr my nose, threw me in the street
I've got the bums rush again
I've got the bums rush again

I got a girl named bonie moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
When she rock and rolls with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bones
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Well, I told her mama and papa too
Just exactly what I wanna do
I wanna get married on a night in june
Rock and roll by the light of a silvery moon
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy (now) we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree

Back in the night I lay down by your fireside
Back in the night you shook me like a landslide
I nearly missed the early shift
Dreamin´ in the morning ´bout the things we did
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light
I woke up on the floor, I asked you for some breakfast
You shoved me out the door, I jumped on to the late bus
I got to smile, I like your style
You put me out this morning but you know that i´ll be
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light
The days go by so slow, I feel just like i´m dying
Stop work whistle blow and then I start reviving
Across your yard, beneath the stars
I made it thru another day and here we are
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night

Since you tried to kill me I've got nothing to say
You sent some boys around to blow my kneecaps away
I know I burned your house down and I smashed up your car
I know I spent your giro in the public bar
But all that didn't happen just by accident
I tried to light my fag I thought the match was spent
I borrowed a sledge hammer just to pound out the dents
Baby why do you treat me this way?
A knock came on the door while you were looking for work
The man who had the shotgun went completely berserk
I'm very glad you trained your little dog to attack
They perforated him while escaped out the back
I'm only phoning up to say I love you still
And I just can't believe that you have had your fill
You can't get rid of me because I'm too hard to kill
Baby why do you treat me this way?
I'm trying to make it up to you I'm gonna' put it right
To show there's no hard feelings I'm coming back tonight
I know you really love me, I don't care what you say
And anyway I'm coming back to stay
Well that's my final word I think I'll leave it at that
I know you miss your dog and so I'm bringing my cat
The place it looks a mess like it was hit by a bomb
We can't afford a daily so I'll bring round my mom
And she'll bring her equipment and she'll polish your floors
And she can bring my brother who can re-hang your doors
And all you'll have to do is cook a dinner for four
(larry wallis)
Looking for a good time
Wanna see the town
Cos I'm the man
If money talks
I wanna hear it sing
If you got the readies
Then I'll swing
As long as the price is right
As long as the price is right
As long as the price is right
If you got no bread you're as good as dead
Back room card game
Ace in the hole
There's big money rockin'
And I bet my soul
I´ve seen the movie
And I've read the book
And I don't need
No second look
As long as the price is right
As long as the price is right
As long as the price is right
If you got no loot then you just can't shoot
If you got no loot then you just can't shoot
Looking for a good time
Hotel queen
Took her up to your room
The boys go green
She ask you for a hand
With the zip on her dress
And you say 'oui babe'
Cos that's french for yes
As long as the price is right
As long as the price is right
As long as the price is right
Well if you got no cash then I gotta dash
If you got no cash then I gotta dash
(wilko johnson)
Well well well
I thought I heard it raining
All my love trouble in my mind
Lay awake all night
Till the morning light came shining through the blind
Well well well
How long did money hold you
If all my love can't keep you by my side
Everything you need lying at your feet
And you won't be satisfied
- harmonica break -
Big bell ring
Somebody gotta go now
Rolling slow drivers dressed in black
As they passin' through start to think of you
And all my love comes back
All my love
Gone but not forgotten
Hate you now when I think of what you've done
I can't fool myself using someone else
(Willie Dixon)
You're so sweet you're so fine
How I wish you was mine
Honey I need your love
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
You're so nice
You're so cruel
I'm so bad
I love you
Honey I need your love
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
Tell me pretty baby
All you're gonna try
If you say it baby
Hang on baby till the day that I'll die
That is true
I love you
I don't care what you do
Honey I need your love
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
- Break -
Tell me pretty baby
All you're gonna try
If you say it baby
Hang on baby till
the day I'll die, that is true
I love you
I don't care what you do
Honey I need your love
You'll be mine
You'll be mine

I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
But if she needs me bad I can find about two or three more
One - through the basement, two - down the hall
When the going gets rough, I got a hole in the wall
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
But if she needs me bad I can find about two or three more
I can come down the chimney like a santa claus
Crawl through the window and that ain't all
I got lot of good ways I don't want you to know
I even got a hole in her bedroom floor
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
But if she needs me bad I can find about two or three more
Oh, yes I can
- guitar solo -
I got a way through her closet behind her clothes
A way through the attic that noone knows
A master key to fit any lock
A hidden door behind grandpa's clock
I got 29 ways to make it to my baby's door
But if she needs me bad I can find about two or three more, hey
To my lovely baby's door
To my lovely baby's door
To my lovely baby's door
One -two - and some more
To my lovely baby's door
To my lovely baby's door
To my lovely baby's door
One -two - and some more
To my lovely baby's door
To my lovely baby's door
To my lovely baby's door
(Wilko Johnson)
Hard time going down
I just hangin' 'round
Sweet thing good love
Thats all I'm thinking of
Time and the devil is gonna bring me everything I need
Well I don't have to worry, oh no
About the love or the money, oh no
Time and the devil is gonna bring it all home to me
No woman no cash
No place to crash
Clock strike midnight
I feel quite alright
Time and the devil is gonna bring me everything I need
Well I don't have to worry, oh no
About the love or the money, oh no
Time and the devil is gonna bring it all home to me
- Guitar Break -
What's this I see
Looking over at me
Just like I said
Got my breakfast brought to the bed
Time and the devil is gonna bring me everything I need
Well I don't have to worry, oh no
About the love or the money, oh no
Time and the devil is gonna bring it all home to me
