Try to understand what I'm going through
and don't blame for what folks will do
for some of us it's not a bood time
but you're going to get used to
and you'd better resign yourself.
CHORUS You get what you deserve
you ought to find out what it's worth
and you've gotta have a lotta nerve.
You just do what pleases you
and go on and sign out every move
you're going to get place in the scene
all God's orphans get face in the dream.
Too bad such a drag ow !
so much pain down the drain
Sitting in the back of a car
music so loud can't tell a thing
thinking bout what to say
and I can't find the lines.
You know I love you a lot
I just don't know should I not ?
waiting for a brighter day
and I can't find a way.
I'll go on and on with you
like to fall and lie with you
I love you too
wo wo wo.
Baby I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's okay
trying to get away
from everything.
Why don't you take me home
it's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
(Big Star)
Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you - ooh
Won't you tell your dad "Get off my back"
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n' roll is here to stay
Come inside now it's okay
And I'll shake you - ooh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
And would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so then let me know
If it's "no", well, I can go
I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise
Sun, it shines on all of us
We are one in it's hand
Come inside and light my room
like the heart of every man
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise
I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
Your love it will abide
I can't be satisfied
what you want me to do
and so I moan
had to leave my home.
Love my gull oooh yeh
she got to save my soul
I want a witness I want to testify.
CHORUS How long can this go on ?
All night long I was howling
I was a barking dog
Dreams and wishes, like shooting stars
Coming up rushes
I want to white out
I want to white out
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you, yeah.
Kizza me
Lesa, why not.
Curse wild, windy linen
Warm life, so-and-so
I want to white out
I want to come on out.
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you, yeah.
Kizza me
Lesa, why not.
Dreams and wishes, shooting stars
Coming up rushes, okay okay.
I want to white out
I want to white out
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you deep inside
I want to feel you, yeah.
Kizza me
Lesa, why not.
I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring out in space
I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I came against
Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
'Cause we were leaving
Like Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
You're a dream lover
And I'm never gonna let you go
And there's no other
Could look as good as you right now
And you shine like ice
And glare your eyes
Won't those daydreams come true
On Beale Street Green
My wishes visualized
You're real, so real
Seen twixt me and you
And I wake up and shiver
A lonely quiver
And I don't know where to look
Dream lover
Dream, you're a dream lover
Driving in my big black car
Nothing can go wrong
I'm going and I don't know how far
So, so long.
Maybe I'll sleep in a Holiday Inn
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can touch me
Why should I care?
Driving's a gas
It ain't gonna last.
Sunny day, highway
If it rains it's all the same.
I can't feel a thing
I can't feel a thing
I've got a big black car.
Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can touch me
Why should I care?
Driving's a gas
It ain't gonna last.
The lights above, oh yes.
Don't like to see your face
don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be with Ann
but I'd just get bored
CHORUS Can't even bring myself to call
and I don't want to see you now
cause I know what you lack
and I can't go back to that.
Whatever's all the same
now there's nobody to know
and I can't recall-recall your name
all I can say is so.
Your life is white
and I don't think I like
Take care not to hurt yourself
Beware of the need for help
You might need too much
And people are such
Take care, please, take care
Some people read idea books
And some people have pretty looks
But if your eyes are wide
And all words aside
Take care, please, take care
This sounds a bit like goodbye
In a way it is I guess
As I leave your side
I've taken the air
Take care, please, take care
Child will you come on down
Come on in with me
Morning says to idle on
Stay clear of the street.
On the wing
And on the land
Can you sing
With anything
Do you wanna dance
Do ya
Do ya, do ya, do ya wanna dance
Stroke it Noel
They say we're lazy men
Drinkin' our white wine
We could go right insane
'Cause we can buy the time
Oh, keep an eye
On the sky
Will they come
Oh the bombs
Do you wanna dance
Easy now, easy now
Do ya, do ya, do ya wanna dance
(*Bell*/Chilton)
Girlfriend, what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me a feeling
I feel like I'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
I feel like I'm dying
Once I walked a lonely road
Had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now I hope you're here to stay
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
Lonely age of uncertainty
They disappear when you're near me
When you're around my life's worthwhile
And now I long to see you smile
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
My life is right
My life is right
My life is right
Once I walked a lonely road
Had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now I hope you're here to stay
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
(Bell/Chilton)
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me
I know where you been
And I know what you've been doing
Don't lie to me
Don't push me 'round, don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round, don't push me 'round
Told my dad
And now I'm telling you
Don't push me 'round
Don't cross me babe, don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe, don't cross me babe
Said you wouldn't
Tell the truth now
Lord I've been trying to be what I should
Lord I've been trying to do what I could
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I'll try again
Lord I've been trying to be understood
And Lord I've been trying to do as you would
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
I'd like to go to India
Live in a big white house in the forest
Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano
Read a few books
Far from what saddens my heart
Try to live away from it
Find a new girl
Who says she feels the same
Get to know her after the trip
Bathe in a forest pool
Her life a part of mine
(Bell/*Chilton*)
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, and at my side is God
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
There's people around who tell you that they know
And places where to send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to, you can just say "no"
I've been built up and trusted, broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if we can
Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
(Bell/Chilton)
Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do, but talk to you
Steal your car, and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had a joint so bad
Bust a street light
See that girl, watch her dance
If I knew her name I wouldn't have to sit on my hands
If my mouth don't work I get some help
And she don't mind if I don't keep my hands to myself
You're all right
You put up such a good clean fight
I'm afraid that you lose tonight
S-L-U-T
She may be a slut but she looks good to me
You're so clean, so refined
You don't care to get messy just to have a good time
She's got saggy thighs and baggy eyes
(Bell)
Every night I tell myself
I am the cosmos, I am the wind
But that don't get you back again
Just when I was starting to feel ok
You're on the phone
I never wanna be alone
Never wanna be alone
Hate to have to take you home
Wanted too much to say "no, no"
My feelings always have been something
I couldn't hide, I can't confide
Don't know what's going on inside
I'd really like to see you again
Really wanna see you again
Never wanna see you again
I'm in love with a girl
finest girl in the world
I didn't know I could feel this way.
Think about here all the time
always on my mind
I didn't know about love.
All that a man should do is true
Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep
You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror
You look in your eyes
Say you realize
Everybody goes
Leaving those who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can,
They don't just care.
They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors
Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid."
Your mother's dead
You're on your own
She's in her bed
Everybody goes
Leaving those who fall behind
Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care
You're a wasted face
You're a sad-eyed lie
September gurls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you well never mind
I've been crying all the time
December boys got it bad.
September gurls I don't know why
how can I deny what's inside
even thought I keep away
maybe we'll love all our days.
When I get to bed
late at night
that's the time
she makes things right
I rather shoot a woman than a man
I worry whether this is my last life
and girl, if you're listening
I'm sorry, I can't help it
oh Dana, oh Dana, come on
I'm forevermore fighting with Steven
we do our goo-goo-koos
but we know
overboard and down
and strung out twice
oh Dana, oh Dana, come on
we seldom know what things are
two illusions going very far
oh Dana, oh Dana, come on
I got busted across the bridge
they rounded up every soul
now never the East Side
she says,"don't give a girl a chance"
she's not afraid to take a chance
oh Dana, oh Dana, come on
she's got a magic wand
that says play with yourse
if before other ones
oh Dana, oh Dana, come on, come on
O my soul mama
I lose control
go ahead and shake if you wanna
and I'll never know
wull come on
you know it's alright
we've got all night
you're driving me mad
and you shouldn't do that
we're going to get on up
and drink till we drop.
You're really a nice girl
and I think you're the most
and when we're together
I feel like a boss
CHORUS Trying to see you
I'd know off your doors
dying to see you
I'm down on the floor.
I can't get a license
to drive my car
but I don't really need it
if I'm a big star.
Never you mind
At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
They're looking at me, all the people to see.
And when I set my eyes on you
You look like a kitty
And when you're in the moon
Oh you look so pretty
Caught a glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
Glance in your eyes
And fell through the skies
I'm walking down the freezing street
Scarf goes out behind
You said, "Get them away"
Please don't say a word
"Get me out of here
Get me out of here
I hate it here
Get me out of here"
At nightime I go out and see the people
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
there was a boy
a very strange enchanted boy
they say he wandered very far
very far over land and sea
a little child inside of us
but very wise was he
and then one day
a magic day he passed my way
and as we talked of many things
fools and kings
this he said to me:
"the greatest thing
you'll ever learn
Morpha too small
you're going to hurt yourself
I might call, might call
and I might need some help
I'm and old show
and I don't know what to do
I'm in love with you
Kitty asked me to read her stars
I had liked her, liked her
from afar
going to play with your heart
I knew not to start
You feel sad 'cause I got mad
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Things I said made things seem bad
But don't worry
Cause it's gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just don't think before I speak
I've been looking for to find
Something to believe in my mind
And I thought it was you
All this time since you've been mine
I've been angry, so angry
Made it known I could make it alone
But I'm changing
And I'm gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know I just woke up and I see the way
Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance
It's so hard just to stay alive each day
I really can't go on this way, oh no
Oh no
Hey......
Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's the end, it's wrong at last
sometimes I can't help but worship you
I love you and all the things that you do
I thought I'd sit and write this song just for you
to let you know that I am thinking of you
when I come home so cold at night
you'll have the fireplace burning bright
thoughts of how it's going to be
and how I'll spend those cold, cold nights warm by you
and in these autumn days I wander through the leaves
thinking of those winter nights I'll spend with you
and when I come home so cold at night
you'll have the fireplace burning bright
thoughts of how it's going to be
(Reed)
Here she comes, you better watch your step
She's going to break your heart in two, it's true
It's not hard to realize
Just look into her false colored eyes
She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown
'Cause everybody knows
e's a femme fatale)
The th
She's just a little tease
(She's a femme fatale)
See the way she walks
Hear the way she talks
You're put down in her book
You're number 37, have a look
She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown
Little boy, she's from the street
Before you start, you're already beat
She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true
'Cause everybody knows
(She's a femme fatale)
The things she does to please
(She's a femme fatale)
She's just a little tease
(She's a femme fata
See the way she walks
Take downs
Things sinkin' with a melody
Someone's gonna ask if you graduated
But as for you
Throw down
Isolated as far as you go
I'm well versed in the walls of worst
In the windows of most
Wind down
A.C.
Coast to coast
High cool 'cept when I lie with you
Naked on a southern love
Oh cool downs
Cool downs
Wise and prosperous
That I am
Flustered and erratic
'Cept when I lie with you
Naked on a southern love
Give downs
Rub downs
Lie downs
Any downs at all
I'm driving alone
sad about you
not going home
what's to do
you better not leave me here
better not leave me here
ooh I want you here
how can you leave me here.
I lie in a stream
and floating fine
receiving things
in my beautiful mind
sometimes oh sometimes
sometimes oh sometimes
lover yes I am
Lover you know I am.
Now I'm in a bar
that's got to be where they are
going to dance in the bar
they're going to fight on the floor
faster than I can see.
Now I gonna score
make for the door
Who is this whore ?
soon be beggin drags.
And I'm thinking Christ
nullify my life.
You're going to die
let me be your one light
and if you'd like a true heart
take the time to show you're mine
and I'll be a blue moon in the dark
while you sleep you'll see me there
clouds race across the sky
close your eyes and don't ask why
and I'll be a blue moon in your eyes
morning comes and sleeping's done
birds sing outside
if demons come while you're under
I'll be a blue moon in the sky
let me be your one light
and if you'd like a true heart
take the time to show you're mine
Lady Sweet, I declare
That you're the troubled girl for me
There'd be stars above but there is no either
Better lover down the street
Looks like you can?t be beat
And I might as well be losing sleep
For all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deep and purely
Lady Sweet, don't tell me that I've gone crazy
And your beauty is only in my mind
For I can say that what I see
Is so exactly what I need to find
Maybe one more time
And I might as well be losing sleep
For all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deeply and truly
Lady Sweet
Can?t you see that I?m free to choose?
And I choose Lady Sweet
I know she can?t be beat
I might as well be losing sleep
For all the good it would do me
When the fear of failing runs so deep inside
Just one more time
Yeah, I might as well be losing sleep
Truly straight on through me
The fear of failing runs so deep
angels from the realms of glory
stars shone bright above
royal David's city
was bathed in the light of love
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
lo, they did rejoice
fine and pure of voice
and the wrong shall fail
and the right prevail
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born
Espionage, the words to come back to me
Sidewinder, you clepto,
You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free.
Gymnast, working out on the parallel rails
Cuttin' trails, screams and wails
Face go pale, never fails
You do steal things
Unawares, but I don't care
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me, not for free.
The drummer said you were not very clean
The drummer said you were not very clean
And I know what he means
And I know what he means
You can't have me
You can't have me
You can't have me

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked doors
I don't need to think
'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, All I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, All I know
Read all my books and talked about it
Listen to the radio
Been in school and dropped right out, baby
I liked her face and oh those eyes
she left today, oh goodbye
and looking at you I'm drained outright
and isolated in the light
and I resigned everyone
ever since I was youngI'm starting to understand
what's going ahn and how it's planned
I like love but I don't know
all these girls they come and go
always nothing left to say
and I resigned everyone
ever since I was youngI'm starting to understand
what's going ahn and how it's planned
She's a schemer and she makes me bad
but I love her a lot those lonely nights
I was in a big room playing my things
oh I wish she were here she can be so kind
when she's not trying to hide
she tries not to love me but she knows
she can
CHORUS And why don't you come on back from
way out west
and love me we can work out the rest
She thinks she's a mystery to all
but I know what's behind those eyes
sometimes I think she'll make me forget
what I need most to remember
and then I'll slip on back
baby I feel good
from the moment I arise
feel good from morning
till the end of the day
you and me, we live a life
from when we get up
till we go through the night
you and me, we're free, yeah
we do as we please, yeah
from morning till the end of the day
till the end of the day
yeah, I get up, I see the sun
and I feel good, yeah,
'cause my life has begun
you and me, we're free, yeah
we do as we please, yeah
from morning till the end of the day
till the end of the day
till the end of the day
you and me, we're free, yeah
we do as we please, yeah
from morning till the end of the day
till the end of the day
till the end of the day
till the end of the day

I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost in giving
I got kinda lost
And what can I say
Feeling the way I do
I'm trying to get it across to you
Only wanted to be together
All the time that it was I saw her
Things that I'd done before are gone
I can't believe I'm on my own
Once in a while
And I see you smile
But you don't know how it's going
I'm trying to get it across to you
Only wanted to be together
All the time that it was I saw her
Things that I'd done before are gone
I can't believe I'm on my own
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost in giving
You hurt me yesterday
I didn't know what to say
You didn't have to be so mean
You didn't have to make a scene
You don't have to be so cruel
You made me feel like a fool
I heard some things about you
They said you was untrue
I told them, then why is it so?
You hurt me yesterday
I didn't know what to say
You didn't have to be so mean
You didn't have to make a scene
You don't have to act so cool
I know that you've been to school
I started to feel unloved
I had no place to go
I turned on the radio
You hurt me yesterday
I didn't know what to say
You didn't have to be so mean
You didn't have to make a scene
Don't have to be so cruel
Made me feel like a fool
I heard some things about you
They said you was untrue
I see you walking, I see you talking
With all of my friends
I'm shadowed under, you're like some thunder
Wanna be your friend
I wanna call ya, I wanna ball ya
All night long
In whims of passion, my whip is lashin'
I wanna get you and then
Ooo, you're strange
Don't lame me, baby strange
Don't lame me, baby
The city's shakin', I ain't fakin'
Baby this is the end
I'm overloaded, my head exploded
They say my love for you ain't real
But you don't know how real it feels
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Your sister says that I'm no good
I'd reassure her if I could
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Plans fail every day
I want to hear you say
Your love won't be leaving (Run Run, Run Run)
Your eyes ain't deceiving (Run Run, Run Run)
Fears will soon fade away
Smile now, don't be afraid
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
And let me whisper in your ear
Don't you worry, they can't hear
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
