Well now it's three o'clock in the morning and I can't even close my eyes
Three o'clock in the morning baby and I can't even close my eyes
Can't find my baby and I can't be satisfied
I've looked around me and my baby she can't be found
I've looked all around me, people and my baby she can't be found
You know if I don't find my baby, I'm going down to the Golden Ground
That's where the men hang out
Goodbye, everybody, I believe this is the end
Oh goodbye everybody, I believe this is the end
I want you to tell my baby, tell her please please forgive me
Forgive me for my sins
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I got a job in a steel mill, shucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay.
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out.
I finally learned my lesson, should a long time ago.
The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.

I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Walking is both too slow
I'm going back to the border
Little girl, where I'm better known
'Cause you haven't done nothing
Drove a good man away from home
When the moon peek over the mountain
Little girl, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day
Give me one more kiss darling
Little girl, just before I go
Because when I leave this time
I won't be back no more
I've got the key to the highway
Little darling, I got to go
I'm gonna leave here running
I wander helplessly day by day.
It's so much easier to run
away.
My mind is spent, my body sold,
Never knowing which way to
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we
can get closer.
Every day,
I wanna be felt by you.
I wanna be touched by you.
I wanna
be loved by you.
I wanna be anything you want me to.
Don't mean nothing when you're growing old.
Nobody knows what
the future holds.
I am left with a bitter taste,
Torn away from that
beautiful chase.
I'm always there for you baby,
Won't you let me see
If we
can get closer.
Every day,

I'm gonna ball tonight.

Well, I
can't break the rule because
Every man is some woman's fool.
Met a girl on the avenue,

Like

Looked at me and said, 'You're my
fool.'

I am so in love for once in my life.
In my dreams, I've known you many times before.
And I so want you to be my dear wife,
As only you can satisfy me any more,
And only you can love me more.
I'm lovin' you lovin' me lovin' you.
It's all the same; when loving, two together makes one.
Everybody sing la, la la la, la la la, la la la.
It's all the same, and we are one.
I will give you a world of your dreams if you want them.
I can feel the power when you're standing there.
Someone sent me you; oh lord, I will thank him,
And all the rest, it just don't matter,
And all the rest and all the rest.

Loving you.
You know I love you.

Out on an open highway,
Such a lovely day but something’s wrong.
Something, something’s gotta be wrong.
I just left home this morning,
This old road keeps rolling on and on.
Rolling, rolling on and on.
Won’t somebody help me?
Won’t somebody help me?
Won’t somebody help me?
I’ve never been so lonesome and long way from home,
Never been lonesome and long way,
Never been lonesome and long way from home.
Chorus
by Eric Clapton
Holding you, you holding me,
Everyone could see we were in ecstasy.
Making love against the wall,
Feeling very small when we didn't need to be.
Easy now; don't let my love flow out of you.
Please remember that I want you to come too.
Oh my darling, help me please.
When I'm without you I fall down and graze my knees.
I look so funny and I feel sad,
Your love is all I've ever had, so please don't tease.
Chorus
Yesterday, you know tomorrow,
Could it be I'll have to borrow someone new?
I know that I'm the one to blame,
But all the same, there must be something you can do.

I used to have a little girl, only 16 years old,
But her mom and dad put me way out, way out in the cold.
I can't stay here no longer, my luck is running slow.
Gotta keep on moving but I ain't got no place to go.
Chorus
The sky is crying, look at the tears rolling down the streets.

I looked out my window, the rain was falling down in sheets.
My baby left me this morning, Lord knows I don't know the reason why.
My baby left me this morning, I don't know the reason why.
And everytime I think about it, I hang my head and cry.
The sun is shining, although it's raining in my heart.

Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she's in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
She's some kind of demon messing in the glue.
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you.
To you.
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored.
And wouldn't you be bored?
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.
Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.
Strange brew -- kill what's inside of you.

Than to stay around here if you're gonna pull me down

And some day I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road you know I'm gone
Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground

And down the road you know I'm gone

Don't change your mind,
I ain't got the time to sit and wonder.
I'm doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I won't go under.
You know I've come this far without you;
It won't be too hard to be alone.
I've got choices all around me,
So I won't be spending too much time at home.
Girl, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you, baby.
I can't forgive you,
Instead I'm gonna miss you, baby.
No, don't say a word.
I already heard that you don't love me.
In your state of mind,
I don't need to hear your side of the story.
Your friends all said we had a future
And I don't think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad they'll be when you decide to go.
Chorus
I broke my back to make you happy.
Sometime, somehow, someone's got to care.
If you think you're better off without me,
Just remember, it's a dirty world out there.

Gonna miss the air you breathe.
I'm just not quite happy, baby,
'bout your crazy plans to leave.
This is a mean old world, try and live it by yourself.

Sometimes I wonder why can your love be so cold?

Face is turning white
From the salt of all my tears.
Face is turning white
From the salt of all my tears.
Lost everything I had,
I got to face five lonely years.
Everybody got a trouble;
I got to live with mine right now.
Everybody got a trouble;
I got to live with mine right now.
I'm gonna take a little walk now, people,
And I'll try to get along somehow.
I'll be leaving right now, people;
I got to stop now and figure out my time.
I got to get a bus, people;
I got to stop now and figure out my time.
I believe with a feeling,
I got to move on down the line.

The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me.
The sun could never thaw away the the bliss that lays around me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let your love rain down on me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let it rain, rain, rain.
Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun.
Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done.

You said you was hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
You love him more when you should love him less.
I pick up behind him and take his mess.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
He love another woman and I love you,
But you love him and stick to him like glue.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
Now you better leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand to see you pushed around.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.

Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day,
That's when my baby went away.
Come back, baby, I wish you would,
Try and love me, you won't do no good.
Walking and a-kissing late at night;
I tell you now baby, I feel just right.
Come now baby, whatcha trying to do?

A way to make my life worth living.
I've fallen in love again.
I've got to ask you now, baby:
What would you say if I told you that I'm falling in love again?

When I get out on the dancing floor,
There ain't no stopping for an hour more.
I go rocking up and down and around and round.
I go reeling to the beat of that crazy sound.
I can't stop, I want to kiss your pretty lips,
'Cause I know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips.
I can't stop my feet and I can't stop my hands
When I hear the sound of a rock 'n' roll band.
Gotta rock, gotta roll, gonna jump and shout;
Nobody better come and turn me out.
I'm staying all night till I get my kicks,
'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips.
I want you and you want me.
We're gonna dance all night till we both feel free.
We'll shake and we'll shimmy right across the floor.
When it gets late, we'll dance out the door.
You better get ready with your pretty lips,
'Cause you know, pretty babe, you got honey in your hips.

As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.

I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car.
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are.

I don't know what to do since we've been apart.

They're tearing us apart,
They're breaking up my heart.
I knew it from the start:
Your friends are tearing us apart.

Why don't you reconsider, do what I want you to?

I can't imagine what I'd have to say
Except my world will be right
When love comes back your way
I've always been
One to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When love comes over me and you

Come back home baby, try my love one more time
If I don't go on and quit you
I'm gonna lose my mind
First Verse
(by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray)
I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
Chorus
by Eric Clapton
We made the distance,
Yeah, we made the day.
You made all the difference
'Cause you found the way.
Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be
Lost in the wilderness,
Somewhere out at sea.
But you were there
Through the days of wine and madness,
When I'd always put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
You found the meaning
And helped me to see
Where I was going to
All that I could be.
Without permission
You turned the key.
You climbed the prison wall
Deep inside of me.
You were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
You were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd turn and put, put you down.
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down.
Let me down.
You were there.
You were there.
You were there.
Wrapping paper in the gutter
Moving slowly as the wind on the sea
Faces calling, waves moving
In your picture on a wall of a house of old times
(Can you hear me?)
Can you hear me?
(Can you hear me?)
Wandering sadly
In the city, feeling pretty
Down and out and making love to you on the shore
(Ruined buildings, faces empty)
In the picture as I gaze ahead and don't see
(That they're calling)
That they're calling
(That they're calling)
Wandering sadly
Shattered windows, stairs to nowhere
(Hear you calling)
Hear you calling
(Hear you calling)
As I wander so sadly
Wish I knew what you'd done to me
Turned me on, things I never knew
It's all broken, weeds are growing
Wish I was going home to the house by the shore
(Where you loved me)
Where you loved me
(Where you loved me)
Loved me so sadly
Someday I'll get back, somehow I'll do it
I'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me
(Walk together, tread the weeds down)
Kiss again in the picture on the wall
(Where I loved you)
In the old house
(Where I loved you)
by Maceo Merryweather
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
But someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
You're on my mind every place I go.
How much I love you, nobody know.
Yeah, someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
So many days since you went away.
I've had to worry both night and day.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
So many nights since you've been gone.
I've been worried, grieving my life alone.
Yeah, but someday babe,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
So that's my story and this is all I've got to say to you:
Bye bye, baby, I don't care what you do.
'Cause someday darling,
I won't have to worry my life any more.
Oh lordy lord, oh lordy lord.
It hurts me so bad for us to part.
Oh, but someday baby,
I ain't gonna worry my life any more.
By gail collins and felix pappalardi
Outside my window is a tree.
Outside my window is a tree.
There only for me.
And it stands in the gray of the city,
No time for pity for the tree or me.
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me.
Is there a reason for today?
Is there a reason for today?
Do you remember?
I can hear all the cries of the city,
No time for pity for a growing tree.
Chorus
First verse
Chorus
Got a cool little chick named rocking millie.
He can walk and stroll and susie q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.
Mama, mama, look at uncle joe
Doing the hand jive with sister flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime;
Said, "do that hand jive one more time."
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
Do that crazy jive.
Doctor and a lawyer and an indian chief,
They all dig that crazy beat.
Way-out willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.
Chorus
Willie and millie got married last fall.
They had a little willie junior and that ain’t all.
Well, the kids got crazy and it’s plain to see,
Doing the hand jive on t.v.
Chorus
by Eric Clapton and Bobby Whitlock
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Won't you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know you're going to break my heart if I let you.
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame,
Like a song without a name,
I've never been the same since I met you.
Like a bird on the wing,
I've got a brand new song to sing,
I can't keep from singing about you.
Chorus
I'm beginning to see
What a fool you've made of me.
I might have to break the law when I find you.
Stop running away;
I've got a better game to play,
You know I can't go on living without you.
Chorus
It don't take no fool to love you
You stand out in any crowd
And I know men who want to own you
I can hear them talking loud
There ain't no point in just me talking
Who am I telling you?
But you don't got yourself together
And you can bet whithin in you
I just realised
I just realised
Who am I telling you?
You never lose, you are a winner
It's a simple thing for you
If I'm standing at a crossroad
You know exactly what to do
From this moment on I loved you
Somewhere in between I learned
I'm just reaching out to touch you
It's the point of no return
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
I just realised
I just realised
And I just realised
Who am I, who am I, who am I telling you?
by Jack Bruce and Pete Brown
In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.
You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.
At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
Honey, when we're together,
It seems like we've both got a whole lot of nothing to say.
But I know if we try, we can work it out someday, good lord.
I know if we try, we can work it out someday.
[Chorus:]
Because I believe if there's a will,
Sure enough, honey, there's a way.
If there's a will, yeah yeah,
Sure enough, honey, there's a way, oh lord.
There ain't no need to worry,
'Cause nothing's wrong, it just ain't the time or place, no no.
And you can believe nearly every word I say, oh yeah.
You can believe nearly every word I say.
[Chorus]
Got to get a thing together;
Little less talking, we have lots more to say.
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway.
When we're alone, it's going to happen anyway.
[Chorus 3x]
(Robert Johnson)
When you got a good friend, that will stay right by your side [2x]
Give her all of your spare time, try to love and treat her right
I mistreated my baby, but I can't see no reason why [2x]
Anytime I think about it, I just wring my hands and cry
Wonder, could I bear apologize, or would she sympathize with me
Mmm, or would she sympathize with me
She's a brownskin woman, just as sweet as a girlfriend can be
Mmm, baby I may be right or wrong
Baby, it your opinion, I may be right or wrong
Watch your close friend, baby, then you enemies can't do you no harm
When you got a good friend that will stay right by your side [2x]
Give her all of your spare time, love and treat her right
When this war is over it will be a better day
When this war is over it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave
Ain't no sense in the action, killing people all the time
Ain't no sense no the action, killing people all the time
When it happen on the street we call that a crime
These old boys are leading us somewhere - that is plain to see
I don't know much of nothing, still it troubles me
Got to find another way, this one ain't the way to go
Got to get a plan, change our ways or no...
When this war is over it will be a better day
When this war is over it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave
When this war is over, it will be a better day
When this war is over, it will be a better day
But it won't bring back those poor boys in the grave
When my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes get
full of tears,
Oh, when my heart starts beating like a hammer
And my eyes
get full of tears,
You know you've only been gone 24 hours, baby,
Oh, but
it seems like, it seems like a million years.
Now if I ever mistreated you baby,
You know I didn't mean no
harm.
Oh, if I ever mistreated you baby,
God knows I didn't mean no
harm.
You know, I'm just a little country boy, baby,
And I was raised
right down on the cotton farm.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Babe, that I don't know
what to do.
Oh, you give me so much trouble, baby,
Baby, I don't know, I
don't know what to do.
Oh, I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing now,
baby,
Babe, and it's all on, it's all on account of you.

Dainties in a jam-jar, parson’s colour in the sky.
Water in a fountain doesn’t get me very high.
Moby dick and albert making out with captain bligh.
So you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won’t you, do you, don’t you know when a head’s dead?
What a bringdown!
Winter leader lou is grownin’ ’ampsteads in the north.
Betty b’s been wearin’ daisies since the twenty-fourth.
Wears a gunner when there’s one more coming forth.
And you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won’t you, do you, don’t you wanna go to bed?
What a bringdown!
There’s a tea-leaf about in the family,
Full of nothin’ their fairy tale.
There’s a tea-leaf a-floatin’ now for rosalie,
They’ll believe in ding-dong bell.
Take a butchers at the dodginesses of old bill.
Aristotle’s orchestra are living on the pill.
One of them gets very very prickly when he’s ill.
And you know what you know in your head.
Will you, won’t you, do you, don’t you wanna make more bread?
What a bringdown!
By norman petty, buddy holly, jerry allison and joe b. mauldin
Well all right, so I’ve been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.
Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.
Well all right, so I’m not working.
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can’t be ready
For the love that comes their way.

First verse
Chorus
by Jack Bruce
Please open your eyes.
Try to realize.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.
Please open your mind.
See what you can find.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
We're going wrong.
by Don Williams
There's no cause to think that I won't stay;
Haven't I been with you all the way?
There's no time like now to make amends.
After all, we are more than friends.
This could be the time for you and me.
We could go wherever we should be.
So don't put words between us we shouldn't say,
And don't be acting halfway
When you know we're all the way.
There are times when I don't see the light.
I don't know if what I do is right.
But when I'm wrong, it's never meant for you,
So don't confuse my love with what I do.
Chorus
by Eric Clapton
Water on the ground, cloud on the sun,
Moon on the rise and the wind on the run.
But you know it's only water,
Water on the ground.
Snow is falling, weather is cold.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
And I think it's only water,
Water on the ground.
Back to the rivers, back to the sea,
Keeps on running, just like me.
But you know it's only water,
Water on the ground.
by Buddy Guy
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
I got my eye on you.
You steal my love and go away.
Don't tell me you'll see me another day.
Chorus
You've gone and left me, left me here to cry.
You know I love you, know you're my desire.
Chorus
I give you all my love, everything too,
Fine Cadillac, tell me what you gonna do.
Chorus
People are talking all over town.
You say you don't love me, you're gonna put me down.
Chorus
Tell me what's the matter, what you gonna do?
You say you're going to quit me then you say we're through.
Chorus
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
You better watch yourself,
I got my eye on you.
Now my friend Bill was just a working lad
And he liked to have his fun.
He'd like to find a girl and get comfortable
When his working day was done.
He would spend all his money on a Friday night,
Wake up in the morning broke,
But he had a run in with little Lucy then;
Believe me that ain't no joke.
[Chorus:]
Watch out for Lucy,
Though she may look frail.
Say excuse me, Lucy,
Darling don't you use me;
I don't want to land in jail.
She started out working in a cafe,
Picking money up on the side.
She was free and easy, everybody's friend,
But she couldn't be satisfied.
So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand,
His heart upon his sleeve.
We tried to warn him about her ways,
We never did succeed.
[Chorus]
Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill;
You should have heard little Lucy sing
'I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home,
And a thousand dollar ring.'
They found our hero in the gutter
With a diamond ring and a gun.
He'd done it for the love of Lucy
And ended up on the run.
[Chorus 2x]
by Jerry Williams
How can I explain
This feeling that's true?
Honey, I can't hardly stand it,
I wanna make love to you.
I ain't gonna try to tell you
How it's made me so blue,
Sitting alone here and wondering.
I wanna make love to you.
Where the storms fall from the heavens
And the rivers, they stop their flow,
If you just stop and talk to me,
Honey, that's where I belong.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
I wanna make love to you.
Please, stop and tell me,
Tell me you want me too.
Come on, baby,
I wanna make love to you.
Chorus
Oh, darling.

Chorus
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, had them old walkin' blues.
Woke up this morning, I feel 'round for my shoes,
You know 'bout that babe, Lord, I had them old walkin' blues.
Leavin' this morning, I had to go ride the blinds.
I've been mistreated, don't mind dying.
This morning, I had to go ride the blinds,
I've been mistreated, Lord, I don't mind dying.
People tell me walkin' blues ain't bad;
Worst old feeling I most ever had.
People tell me the old walkin' blues ain't bad.
Well it's the worst old feeling, Lord, I most ever had
Walk out if it doesn't feel right,
I can tell you're only lying.
If you've got something better tonight
Then don't mess up my mind with your crying.
[Chorus:]
Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you don't feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.
I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger.
If you've said all that you've got to say
Then please don't feel the need to linger.
[Chorus]
It's raining outside of the city;
My poor feet have walked till they're sore.
If you don't want my love, it's a pity.
I guess I can't see you no more.
[Chorus 2x]
by Marcy Levy and Richard Feldman
You leave a trail of tears wherever you go.
One of us will hold you, the other one won't.
But I could never share your love or leave it behind.
Break his heart, not mine.
Do you remember tender moments we shared?
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
He's not worth the trouble, baby; he's just a waste of your time.
Oh, break his heart, not mine.
Don't you walk away,
You know you're gonna miss me.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
You're gonna miss me,
You're gonna miss my love.
So don't you walk away,
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
So I'll be waiting in the backroom, baby, when you kiss him goodbye.
Oh, break his heart not mine, but...
Chorus
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Oh don't you walk away.
I know you're gonna miss my love.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
Don't you walk away.
You're gonna miss my love.
Don't you walk away, walk away.
I'm going to sing you a song, listen to me.
I said it's all about a man.
Nobody, I said nobody hardly knows him.
Say it with me: nobody hardly knows him.
Say it one more time: nobody hardly knows him.
Good morning Robert Johnson son.
You built your life before your song was sung.
People agree and now you're number one.
So sad to think we had to wait so long.
It keeps on getting better every day,
And maybe someday soon, people will say,
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.
No, nobody here.
No, nobody here.
No, nobody here.
No, nobody here.
[Bridge 4x]
Just drinking your wine and then loving in slow motion.
(Robert Johnson)
If your man gets personal, want to have your fun
If your man gets personal, want to have your fun
Just come on back to Friar's Point, mama, and barrelhouse all night long
I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
But my Friar's Point rider, now, hops all over me
I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold
I ain't gon' to state no color, but her front teeth is crowned with gold
She got a mortgage on my body, now, lien on my soul
Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side
Lord, I'm goin' to Rosedale, gon' take my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse, baby, 'cause it's on the river side
Now you can squeeze my lemon till the juice run down my...
[Spoken:] till the juice run down my leg, baby, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
You can squeeze my lemon till the juice run down my leg

But I'm goin' back to Friar's Point, if I be rockin' to my head

Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
A one way ticket to ecstasy,
Away on down, just follow me.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, now we can catch the wind.
Travelin' light, just let your mind pretend.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.
Travelin' light, just you and I.
We can go to paradise,
Maybe once, maybe twice.
Travelin' light is the only way to fly.

It's too bad I don't love you, for you have worried me night and day.
It's too bad I don't love you, for you have worried me night and day.
Till my heart begins to stammer and my hair is turning gray.
It's too bad I don't need you, because we get along so good.
It's too bad I don't need you, because we get along so good.
You must be thinking, 'bout this time, that my poor heart is made of wood.
It's too bad I don't miss you, 'cause you are always on my mind.
It's too bad I don't miss you, 'cause you are always on my mind.
I want to stay around your circle and learn to love you all the time.

by Eric Clapton
Feel like someone's put the hurt on me,
And it's making me feel sad.
Feel like someone's trying to turn me away
From the good times to the bad.
Feel like someone's trying to teach me
What is wrong from what is right.
And I can't belong to everyone;
Let me stay with you tonight.
And I hope it makes somebody happy.
Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy.
This river's hard enough for me to swim,
But there's nowhere left to hide.
I ain't no swimmer but I won't give in
Till I reach the other side.
Chorus
'Cause it's all to make somebody happy.
It takes us all to make somebody happy.
When this world got me feeling low
I don't need nowhere else to go
Cause I get all the love I need, from
Three little girls
We're in the garden collecting snails
On the bed reading fairy tales
I get all I'll ever need from
Three little girls
Cause all my world was sad and weary
All my days were winding down
Then you showed me a better way
My three little girls
[Instrumental bridge]
Lord, you've put me to the test
And lead me through the wilderness
Then you showed me a brighter day
With Three little girls
Julie Rose, and Ellie Mae,
Sophie Belle, You came to stay
You take my breath away
My three little girls
Cause all my world was sad and weary
All my days were winding down
You showed me a better way
My three little girls
Three little girls
By ginger baker and mike taylor
When the city of atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.
Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild medusa’s serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere are they now?
They’re gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair,
Overhead a noiseless eagle
Got me accused of peeping, I can't see a thing.
Got me accused of petting, I can't even raise my hand.
Bad luck, bad luck is killing me.
Well I just can't stand no more of this third degree.
Got me accused of murder, I ain't harmed a man.
Got me accused of forgery, I can't even write my name.
Chorus
Got me accused of taxes, I ain't got a dime.
Got me accused of children, and ain't nary one of them was mine.
Chorus
Come on, everybody.
Come on, everybody.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey.
You can bring joy
I never had.
I'm going to be right here
As long as it lasts.
[Chorus:]
And that's why
Things get better, baby,
When I'm with you, yeah.
Things get better, baby,
When I'm with you, yeah.
I can be lonely
If you can't be found, oh yeah,
But I'm not a lonely baby, baby.
You always surround.
[Chorus]
Never in doubt about you,
I know that you're mine.
I can't lose this feeling.
You stay on my mind.
[Chorus 2x]
Get a little better.
Get, get a little better.

I took my baby to see a show.
She was telling me she didn't want to go.
I said, 'Come on girl, what's the matter with you?'
But I could tell by the smell that she'd had a few.
[Chorus:]
I said hold on girl don't get too tight,
You started early and we've got all night.
You've got to take it easy, take it slow.
We don't want the whole world to know
About the shape you're in.
Well, my little girl really loves that wine.
Wine will do it to her most everytime.
If it's red or it's white or it's in between,
She can drink more wine than I've ever seen.
[Chorus]
Now I'm not trying to get heavy with you.
I'll mind my own business if you want me to.
But I love you girl, I don't love no one else.
I'm just telling you baby 'cause I've been there myself.
[Chorus]
by Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy
Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.
Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.
If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.
Chorus
It is burning.
It is burning.
You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."
Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.
It is burning.
It is burning.
By colton and smith
There’s a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station,
And there’s a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message; been there some time.
It starts off, "the coffee tasted so fine..."
It says, "one day, this may find you,
These few words may just remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time;
You said how the coffee tasted so fine."
It goes on to say, "i love you.
If you should find this I must hear from you."
It gives a number but the name has faded away.
All that is left are just the words, "maybe someday..."
That’s the story and the fable;
Never leave alone from a corner table.
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo.
Doo doo-doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo.
You hold my hand when I've lost my way.
Have to bring me back when I've gone astray.
Someone to heal me when I'm in lots of pain.
That's what my man is for.
To help to tell me when I've done wrong,
Someone to help me to keep going on;
And when I get weak I know he'll make me strong.
That's what my man is for.
Someone to be my companion,
Someone who'll understand me,
Someone who'll stand along right here beside me
And hold my trembling hand.
I know I need someone to bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
Someone to lighten and brighten my every way
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
That's what my man is for.
[Chorus]
Come on and bring the lights to me on my darkest day.
I need someone to help me to lighten my every way
And give me peace, give me peace, and close the door.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
I need someone, I need someone.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
I know that that's what I expect out of him.
And I know that's what most men do for their women.
That's what my man is for.
That's what my man is for.
Tell me that you love me as often as you can;
Let me know that I'm your one and only man.
Give me confirmation with every passing day.
A love as sweet as ours will never fade away.
Catch me when I'm falling, help me when I'm blue.
Don't you realize that I'd do the same for you?
Find me when I'm lonely, carry me back home.
Treat me gently and my heart will never roam.
Straighten me out, pull me through,
Let me know that I'm still in love with you.
Be my woman, be my friend,
Stick with me until the very end.
[Chorus]

Telephone Blues
I couldn't sleep last night
I was sittin' by my telephone
All the time wastin'
All the love you've never shown
But someday, someday darlin'
You will realise I'm alone
The last time I saw you,
You promised me you'd come
But time is runnin' out babe
You never call at all
But life's so long babe
Sittin' by my telephone
But someday, someday darlin'
You will realise I'm alone
A modern man with an old-fashioned heart.
One look at her and I fell apart.
I was always the one playing it cool.
I got caught in the act, now there's no turning back.
[Chorus:]
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
A long black dress and the call of the wild.
I was a fool to think she was just a child.
Out of my mind, out of control.
Knew that feeling too well, tried to run but I fell.
[Chorus]
I never meant to feel this way,
Now I always want to stay...
[Chorus]
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
By jack bruce and pete brown
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Right away, far away, take that thing right out of here.
Don’t let them take me to where streams are red.
I want to stay here and sleep in my own bed.
Need all your loving, long blonde hair,
Don’t let them take me ’cause I’m easily scared.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Chorus
I got this great need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, I’ve got to survive.
So come on baby, don’t go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
I got this need, the need to stay alive.
Not ashamed of my creed, I’ve got to survive.
So come on baby, don’t go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Chorus
I got this thing, I’ve got to keep it sharp.
Don’t go to places where it won’t shine in the dark.
So come on baby, don’t go away,
Just let them save me for a rainy day.
Take it back, take it back, take that thing right out of here.
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me at night
Coming to me in the morning, leaving me alone
You've got that rainbow feel but the rainbow has a beard
Running to me a-cryin' when he throws you out
Running to me a-cryin', on your own again
You've got that pure feel, such good responses
But the picture has a mustache
You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face
Coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing
You're coming to me with that soulful look on your face
You're coming looking like you've never ever done one wrong thing
So many fantastic colors, I feel in a wonderland
Many fantastic colors makes me feel so good
You've got that pure feel, such good responses
(traditional)
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.
I looked over Jordan, what do I see,
Coming for to carry me home.
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life.
Money, nothing funny; wasting the best of our life.
Sweet wine, hay making, sunshine day breaking.
We can wait till tomorrow.
Car speed, road calling, bird freed, leaf falling.
We can bide time.

First verse
by Eric Clapton, Doyle Bramhall II & Susannah Melvoin
Living, loving, ain't going to waste my life.
Singing music, someday the sun don't shine.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
Give it all up, surrender thankfully.
Fall down on my knees, my hands open wide.
I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Keep on pushing, getting closer to peace of mind.
Look in the mirror, even with a broken heart I'm fine.
Living is so sweet now with Superman inside.
No more running, ain't going to hide away.
I'm standing outside in the pouring rain.
'Cause I don't want to be the one,
The one that can never say,
"I need to let it out, won't you let me in."

I am a steady rollin' man and I roll both night and day.
I am a steady rollin' man and I roll both night and day.
But I ain't got no sweet woman, woo-hoo Lord, to be rollin' this way.
I am the man that rolls when icicles are hanging on the tree.
I am the man that rolls when icicles are hanging on the tree.
Why can't you hear me begging mama, woo-hoo Lord, down on my bended knee?
First Verse
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Oh baby, look how you got me standin' 'round crying.
Lord I love you little girl, you're always resting on my mind.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
Oh baby, I ain't gonna be riding you 'round in my automobile.
You got so many men, I'm afraid you may get me killed.
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (No, don't get me killed, honey!)
Oh baby, you ain't nothing like you used to be. (Oh man, leave that woman alone!)
When I was deep in love with you, little girl,
you were just sweet as an apple on a tree.

I got up this morning and fell out of bed
Trying to make it to the door.
The wind was high, I didn't have much time,
Trying to find a man to score.
And then you came up on the other side
To brighten up my day.
I knew right away
That this could be my day.
Someone like you
Could make me change my ways.
Someone like you
Could turn the nights into days.
There you were, standing
On a crowded street.
You looked so good, though the air was bad,
Walking through the fog.
Chorus
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.

I've got to ride that lonesome train.
My heart is heavy with aches and pain.
I said but someday, someday baby,
After a while, you will be sorry.
Every day my clouds are grey;
It takes you to roll all those clouds away.
I said but someday, someday baby,
After a while, you will be sorry.
Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind.
Trouble, trouble, way down the line.
I don't need, I don't need no sympathy,
So babe, babe, don't you, don't you pity me.
I may be blue, but I don't mind,
Because I know way down the line,
I said someday, someday baby,
After a while, you will be sorry.

Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by...
If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow.
You'll see the sun come shining through.
If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.
If you just smile.
by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton(instrumental)
Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than Wednesday and you know I can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything I know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere I go.
If I can catch you for a minute I know you'll take a chance with me.
[Chorus:]
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down Linda.
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company?
I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer you always go too fast for me.
[Chorus]
I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down Linda,
Don't you know that I've been waiting for your company.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.

I’m a sleepy time baby, a sleepy time boy.
Work only maybe, life is a joy.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
We’ll have a sleepy time time.
Sleepy time time, sleepy time all the time.
Asleep in the daytime, asleep at night.
Life is all playtime; working ain’t right.

Chorus
By chester burnett
One summer day, she went away;
Gone and left me, she’s gone to stay.
She’s gone, but I don’t worry:
I’m sitting on top of the world.
All the summer, worked all this fall.
Had to take christmas in my overalls.
She’s gone, but I don’t worry:
I’m sitting on top of the world.
Going down to the freight yard, gonna catch me a freight train.
Going to leave this town; worked and got to home.
She’s gone, but I don’t worry:
I’m sitting on top of the world.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please.
I used to have plenty of money, the finest clothes in town,
But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down.
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please.
Keep on working now, child.
Lord every morning.
Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, I declare I'll change my ways.
I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days.
Please have mercy, Lord have mercy on me.
Well if I've done somebody wrong, Lord, have mercy if you please.
I've been working so hard,
Just came home from my job.
Looked down in my wallet,
Good God, I've been robbed.
Now where can my money be,
All my hard-earned pay?
What am I going to do now?
I got my bills to pay.
[Chorus:]
You got me singin' the blues,
And I'm paying all my dues.
You got me singin' the blues,
Ain't got nothing to lose.
I got to tell you I got the blues down in my pockets.
People, what did I say?
Bills are gonna rob me tomorrow,
Why I need my ten dollars today.
[Chorus]
Ain't no way to get even
Because, you know what I mean,
Every time I make me some money
Somebody's going to take it from me.

I’m gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
I’m gonna buy me a parrot, baby,
And teach him how to call my name.
Then I won’t have to miss you baby
And I won’t have you driving me insane.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
I was in love with you, baby,
Till the day you brought me down so low.
You had me walking ’round in circles, baby;
I didn’t know which way to go.
Oh, I’m so sick and tired of you baby,
I’m sick and tired of the way you carry on.
Lord, I’m sick and tired, baby,
Sick and tired of the way you carry on.
You can pack up all of your things, baby;
Hit the road, get out of here, be gone.
Now I’m gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the door.
I’m gonna get me a shotgun, baby,
Keep it stashed behind the bedroom door.
I may have to blow your brains out, baby,
Then you won’t bother me no more.

You say I'm the greatest and bound for glory.
Well the word is out and I learned.
I got the latest side of the story;
You're pulling out before you get burned.
Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone.
I never saw you breaking no law.
Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone.
What are you taking me for?
Setting me up to put me down.
Making me out to be your clown.
Setting me up to put me down.
You better give it up, baby,
Quit your messing around.
You think I care about your reaction,
You think I don't understand.
All you wanted was a piece of the action,
Now you talk about another man.
Chorus
Chorus
When your world, it starts to fall apart
Look deep within, within your lonely heart.
Do your best my friend, try and understand
It's only you, pull yourself through.
When you tell your story,
Make sure your story's right;
Every little single word is true.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
When the words are in the music, the music is the song.
The world would be so happy, if we'd all just get along.
I want to see it, a smile on every face.
So when we tell our story,
Make sure that it's right
And every single word is true.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
So when you tell your story, honey
Make sure that it's right.
I finally proved the message true.
I see what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
When we sing the story
Make sure your song is right.
Finally proved the message true.
See what love can do.
Oh, see what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
See what love can do.
Following the shadows of the skies
Or are they only figments of my eyes?
And I'm feeling close to when the race is run
Waiting in our boats to set sail
Sea of joy
Once the door swings open into space
And I'm already waiting in disguise
Is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail
Sea of joy
Having trouble coming through
Through this concrete blocks my view
And it's all because of you
Oh, is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail
Sea of joy
Sea of joy
Sea of joy

I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner's gone so far away.
Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had,
She said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die.
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime.
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind.
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
Sitting down looking from my back door,
Wondering which way to go,
The woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more.
Think I'll catch me a freight train, 'cause I'm feeling blue,
And ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you.
Meanwhile, in another city,
Just about to go insane,
Thought I heard my baby, Lord, the way she used to call my name.
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay.
I'm sorry baby, but I can't afford to stay.
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday.
I love you baby, but I'm gonna have to say goodbye.
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly.
[Chorus:]
Same thing every morning,
Tell me what's it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.
I miss you already, baby, more than words can say.
Seems like I've been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days.
I love you baby, you know I woudn't tell you no lies.
If you don't believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes.
[Chorus]
Here I am back home, baby, I'm back home to stay.
I love you babe, never more will I go away.
I won't hurt you no more, baby, ain't gonna tell you no more lies.
No more running 'round, no more phony alibis.
[Chorus 3x]
There's a hungry road, like my lonely hopes, gonna eat me up inside
There's a drifting spirit, coming clean, in the eye of a life born of fire
Tell Monday I'll be round next week, I'm running ahead of my days
In this shotgun chance, that's scared of us, I've seen the error of my ways.
Oh-oh
Woooh-oh
Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns, like sungods spitting rain
Found the way home written on this map, like red dye in my veins
And the hardest of times that come around, the fear of losing grows
I've lost and seen the world shut down, it's a dark lesson no-one knows
(Chorus)
And I've poured out the pleasure, and dealt with the pain
I'm standing in the station, waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little morsel again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.
Well I'm out of control, and out of my head
I'm tearing like a demon in no-man's land
Trying to get a grip on my life again
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train.
(Solo)
Oh-oh
Mmmmm-mmm
And I've poured out the pleasure, and dealt with the pain
I'm standing in the station, waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little morsel again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.
Well I'm out of control, and out of my head
I'm tearing like a demon in no-man's land
Trying to get a grip on my life again
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train.
And I've poured out the pleasure, and dealt with the pain
I'm standing in the station, waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little morsel again,
But love is lost like a runaway train.

You fly
Out as your smile wears thin
I sigh
Knowing the mess you're in
And you know that you can't get away
And you know you can't hide it from yourself
Lonely days, heavy heart
No escape, can only run so far
I know
Something I ought to say
Stuck here
Trying to find a way
And you know that you can't get away
And you know you can't hide it from yourself
Lonely nights, blue guitar
No way out, can only run so far
Lonesome tears, at the bar
One way street, can only run so far
I pray
That you might make it through
Those teardrops
Now seems a part of you
And you know that you can't get away
And you know you can't hide it from yourself
Fallin' down, under par
Can't get out, can only run so far
Lonely days, heavy heart
No escape, can only run so far
Lonesome tears, at the bar
One way street, can only run so far

Love on my mind, I used to be
Living it up, fancy free,
Then one night it came to an end;
I met that girl and the trouble began.
Something inside of me keeps on telling me to run.
Whatcha gonna do to me?
Something inside of me keeps on telling me to run.
Whatcha gonna do to me?
I was hooked with just one look,
Easy prey, child's play.
I knew this girl was no one night stand;
Felt just like putty in her hands.
Chorus
Got no answers, got no cure,
But one thing I know for sure:
This is the girl, she's the one.
She makes it so hard for me to run.

You might as well face it, she's covered all the bases.
You might as well face it, she's covered all the bases.

Well, I woke up this morning; I best get rolling on.
Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
Well, come here baby, sit down on daddy's knee.
I want to tell you about the way they treated me.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
Well, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long.
When I woke up this morning, all I had was gone.
Roll it, rock it, roll it in the socket.
Roll, roll it, roll, roll it.
Feel it, can you feel it, all night, all right.
Oh burn it, rock it, moving in the socket.
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Gonna getcha, gonna getcha, here it comes, don't try to run.
I must love you, gonna sock it, gonna roll it, gonna rock.
Roll, roll it, roll, roll it.
Oh lord, rock it, loving in the socket, yeah yeah.
I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl;
Right at this moment, I could promise you the world.
Before we go crazy, before we explode,
There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know, you got to know.
I get off on 57 Chevys;
I get off on screaming guitar.
Like the way it hits me every time it hits me.
I've got a rock and roll, I've got a rock and roll heart.
Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night,
So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight.
I guess there's nothing left for me to explain;
Here's what you're gettin' and I don't want to change, I don't want to change.
Chorus
I don't need to glitter, no Hollywood,
All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good.
Chorus
It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away,
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today.
It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face,
And about half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace.
Lord, how long have I got to keep on running,
Seven hours, seven days or seven years?
All I know is, since you've been gone
I feel like I'm drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feel like I'm drowning,
Drowning in a river.
In three more days, I'll leave this town
And disappear without a trace.
A year from now, maybe settle down
Where no one knows my face.
I wish that I could hold you
One more time to ease the pain,
But my time's run out and I got to go,
Got to run away again.
Still I catch myself thinking,
One day I'll find my way back here.
You'll save me from drowning,
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Drowning in a river.
Feels like I'm drowning,
Drowning in the river.
Lord, how long must this go on?
Drowning in a river,
Drowning in a river of tears.
Floatin' down that old river boy, all my worries far behind,
Floatin' down that old river boy, leave old memories way behind,
Yesterday is slowly fadin',
All my life, I've been waitin', for this time.
Floatin' down that old river boy, leaves me feelin' good inside,
Floatin' down that old river boy, tryin' to get to the other side,
Yesterday is slowly fadin',
I been waitin', now forever, for this ride.
[Refrain:]
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river.
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river.
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river.
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river.
Floatin' down that old river boy, all my worries far behind,
Floatin' down that old river boy, leave old memories way behind,
Yesterday is slowly fadin',
I been waitin', now forever, for this ride

So long, oh I hate to see you go.
So long, oh I hate to see you go.
And the way that I will miss you, I guess you will never know.
We've been together so long to have to separate this way.
We've been together so long to have to separate this way.
I'm gonna let you go ahead on now baby, pray that you'll come back home someday.
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you've changed your mind.
You said you once had loved me, but now I guess you've changed your mind.
Why don't you reconsider baby? Give yourself just a little more time.
I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby,
But she treats me so unkind.
I got mean things,
I got mean things all on my mind.
I got mean things,
I got mean things all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby,
But she treats me so unkind.
I'm going down to the station,
Catch the fastest train I see.
I'm going down to the station,
Catch the fastest train I see.
I got the blues 'bout miss so-and-so
And her son's got the blues about me.
I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling,
I got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby,
But she treats me so unkind.
I don't care if you never come home.
I don't mind if you just
Keep on rollin'away on a distant sea
cuz I don't love you and you don't love me.
You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
and your lovers and friends are all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
La la la ...
I don't care what you're doin' at night oh
I don't care how you get your delights
I'm gonna leave it alone
I'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me.
I got a problem
Can you relate?
I got a woman
Callin' love hate.
We made a vow
we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
La la la ...
I tried to love you for years upon years
But you refused to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
That I'd still love you if you'd just love me.
I got a problem
Can you relate?
I got a woman
Callin' love hate.
We made a vow
we'd always be friends.
How could we know that promises end?
Pretty girl you are the light of my life,
I mean my everything.
You are the one I chose to make my wife,
That's why you wear my ring.
And when I'm feeling down and out,
You're the one who will bail me out.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.
Pretty girl don't ever say goodbye,
Don't ever let me be,
If you do, you know that I would die,
You mean that much to me.
And when I'm feeling low and blue,
You always know just what to do.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.
[Repeat First Chorus]
Pretty girl, hear what I have to say,
It's something you should know,
You brought me sunshine on my darkest day,
That's why I love you so.
And when my wandering day is through,
I'll always hurry back home to you.
My love will always guide me home, my pretty girl.
Left alone to cry
While he goes out singing,
And she don't see why
A wedding bell ain't ringing.
Left alone to cry
While he goes out rocking,
And she can't see why
It ain't her he's socking.
[Chorus:]
Goodbye, pretty blue eyes.
Goodbye, pretty blue eyes.
Left alone to cry;
Life don't seem worth living.
I stand to say goodbye,
Done enough forgiving.

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didn’t want to; ’twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat’s collection of dog legs and feet.
Sadly they left, telling no one goodbye.
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie.
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack,
Went straight round the corner and never came back.
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat’s collection of dog legs and feet.
The bad captain madman had ordered their fate.
He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate.
The gate turned into a deroga tree
And his pegleg got woodworm and broke into three.
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop.
They didn’t want to; ’twas all they had got.
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat,
And pressed rat’s collection of dog legs and feet.
Poor Elijah, living on the bayou way.
Poor Elijah, he had to take over raising fourteen kids
When his daddy got caught stealing chickens from a neighbor one day.
Work on Elijah, work on.
Poor Elijah, born the son of a slave.
Poor Elijah, he was damn near blind when he died last week
From working in the sun for the man like a dog all day.
Work on Elijah, work on.
Poor Elijah.
Poor Elijah.
Poor Elijah.
Poor Elijah.

Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.
I’m a political man and I practice what I preach.
I’m a political man and I practice what I preach.
So don’t deny me baby, not while you’re in my reach.
I support the left, though I’m leaning, leaning to the right.
I support the left, though I’m leaning to the right.
But I’m just not there when it’s coming to a fight.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
Hey now baby, get into my big black car.
I want to just show you what my politics are.
Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, feeling free.
Sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.
Won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.
Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
'Cause in the end it all comes out unsure.
Chorus
And how do I choose and where do I draw the line
Between truth and necessary pain?
And how do I know and where do I get my belief
That things will be all right again?
What words do I use to try and explain
To those who've witnessed all my tears?
And what does it mean to know all these things
When love's been wasted all these years?
When love's been wasted all these years?
Standin' in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand
I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim for your love
It's like livin' in a nightmare
Like lookin' in the blackest hole
Like standin' on the edge of nothing
Completly out of control
Now where have I been all these years
And how come I just couldn't see?
Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness
I was a pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim for your love
Standin' in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand
Standin' in the shadows
With my heart right in my hand
Removed from all the people
Who could never understand
I was a pilgrim for your love
Pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim for your love
A pilgrim for your love
I was a pilgrim
Pilgrim for your love
Standin', shadows
Removed, people
Standin', shadows
Removed, people

Oh, I don't care how you get you delites
We'll leave it alone and just let it be

I got a woman callin' love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end
I tried to love for years upon years
You refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
I'd still love you if you'd just love me
I had a strange dream from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen
She had some gypsy's blood flowin' through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
I traveled around the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from havin' fun
And when the time was right, the flowers grew
But they were made of silk and sequins, two by two
I traveled around the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from havin' fun
And when the time was right, the flowers grew
But they were made of silk and sequins, that I would meet my destiny

It is a cold winter,
Away is the songbird.
And gone is her traveller,
She waits at home.
The sun is on holiday,
No leaves on the trees.
The animals sleep
While cold north wind blows.
The snowflakes are falling,
The roof a white blanket.
There’s ice on the window pane,
She waits alone.
She sits by the fireside,
The room is so warm.
Her children are sleeping,
She waits in their home.
Passing the time.
Passing the time.
Everything fine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, everything fine.
Passing the time, drinking red wine.
Passing the time, everything fine.
Passing the time, wine and time rhyme.
Passing the time.
It is a long winter,
Away is the summer.
She waits for her traveller
So far from home.
She sits by the fireside,
The room is so warm.
There’s ice on the window,
She’s lonely alone.
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm.
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm.
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm,
Ain't never done no man no harm.
Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack.
Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack.
Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack,
A twelve-gauge shotgun at my back.
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm.
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm.
I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm,
Ain't never done no man no harm.

[Chorus:]
Only you know and I know
All the love we've got to show,
So don't refuse to believe it
By reading too many meanings.
'Cause you know that I mean what I say,
So don't go and take me the wrong way.
You know you can't go on getting your own way,
'Cause if you do, it's going to get you someday.
I don't mean to mislead you,
It's just my craziness coming through.
But when it comes down to just two,
I ain't no crazier than you.
[Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah, you don't need to be pleasing.
No no no, not deceiving.
But it's hard to believe in
When you've been so mistreated.
[Chorus]
Only you know and I know.
Only you know and I know.

Without wishing to cause you any pain,
I got to push on through, babe,
And if I take the chance of seeing you again,
I just don't know what I would do, baby.
And sometimes I think I'm gonna be just fine;
All I got to do is go through it, babe.
Then I hear those voices in the back of my mind,
Telling me over and over and over that I blew it babe.
You had one chance and you blew it.
You may never get another chance.
You had the floor and you knew it.
You can't blame it on your circumstance.
At the risk of causing you a little pain,
I'm going to have to forget you, babe,
'Cause you broke my heart, left it out in the rain
And you'd the same again if I let you, babe.
I would give anything to hold you in my arms,
But you know I can't do that, baby.
I guess I'll have to live with the choice that I have made
Even though deep down I still suspect that I blew it.

Lightning’s flashing all around me,
Thunder’s rolling up behind.
Big blue clouds are going to roll in
Full of tears and make me blind.
I can’t let her man recatch me.
I can’t stop to cry no more.
I’m just running down the highway,
One jump ahead of the storm.
One jump ahead of her crying,
One jump ahead of her cold cheating arm.
One jump ahead of her lying,
One jump ahead of the storm.
One day I looked on the horizon,
Saw her love just couldn’t last.
Oh, my mind was torn to pieces.
I had to leave and get out fast.
And so I slipped out of her power.
I saw my chance and I was gone
Before the rain could start to falling.
One jump ahead of the storm.
Chorus
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.
I was one jump ahead of the storm.
Just one jump ahead of the storm.

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
When you finally get back up on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
When you finally get back upon your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend.
Said it's mighty strange,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.

I beg your pardon, hello darlin'
This is me you're talkin' to
Sit down and tell me about it
You don't have to shout it at me
Tell me what you really want to do
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig gets deeper
You better stop and climb out
'Cause I'm trying to give it all to you
Baby I can see right through you
Sometimes you lose what it's all about
Don't give me no alibis
Can't go through life trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Chorus
Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig is getting deeper
Better reach out and pull yourself out
Nobody ever gonna love you the way that I love you
And I never want to see you doin' without

She's got everything a man could ever ask for.
She is lovely, brighter than a morning star.
She is so beautiful, portrait of a sunset.
She got everything, including my old car.
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time you see her, tell her that I care.
Next time you see her, tell her that I love her.
Next time I see you, boy you'd better beware.
I'm just trying to warn you that you're bound to get hurt.
I couldn't be her last love, so how could you be her first?
I want to tell you, buddy, things are bound to get rough.
I know that she's only flirting, but I think that I've had enough.
Chorus
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.
And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

And if you see her again, I will surely kill you.

It's so easy loving you
With everything I feel inside,
And holding me the way you do,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.
I'll never ever make you cry.
I'll never ever say goodbye.
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I'm yours until the day I die.
I'll watch you fall asleep at night,
I'll smile and kiss you, hold you tight,
I'll hold your hand and close my eyes,
It's here I'm staying all of my life.

You left him standing in the pouring rain.
There's every chance he'll go insane.
And someone comes along and takes his hand.
He must have love, can't you understand that
He needs his woman,
He needs his woman,
And he needs his woman,
He needs his woman to love.
His hands are shaking and his head hangs down.
No peace of mind for him is found.
Break his heart and then you'll set him free.
Someone must save him, just you wait and see, but
Chorus
What will it take till you believe his love is real?
Nobody said he had to love you, now he always will.
He'll walk that lonely road again today.
The love he gave you, you threw away.
When all he wanted was a hand to hold.
His lonely world has grown so cold and

Driving in my car, smoking my cigar,
The only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar.
Sailing in my yacht, what a lot I got,
Happiness is something that just cannot be bought.
I've been in and I'm out, I've been up and down,
I don't want to go until I've been all around.
What's it all about, anyone in doubt,
I don't want to go until I've found it all out.
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.
Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
They don't have anywhere to go;
Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can;
So many things a father can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can;
So many things a sister can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead.
When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead.
When your mother is dead, Lord, when your mother is dead
Are we rolling? A one, a two, a three, a four
A mother was washing her baby one night
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite
The mother was poor and the baby was thin
'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin
The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone and in anguish she cried
"Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug
Your baby is perfectly happy
He won't need a bath anymore
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above
Not lost but gone before
by Eric Clapton
She's a modern girl in a modern world
Where only the strong can survive.
Too many dreams have been laid at her door,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Where would you fit in the scheme of her day
And where could you fit in her heart?
Trying to be small will get you nowhere at all,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
Don't throw your love away.
She moves through your life like a warm summer breeze,
And nothing will stand in her way.
The sound of her voice brings your heart to its knees,
But the modern girl will ride on, oh oh oh.
Chorus
Chorus
I've been asking some people
If they remember the girl, if they've forgotten, round as a cotton
A dress, have you seen her, if she's much leaner
Yes she is missing is true
She has gone out there somewhere
Disappeared into thin air
I would just like to find her
I would like to remind her - the good times we had there
More than just good friends
Yes she is missing is true
I've been asking around, and what I have found
she moved on farther this time
I've been checking it out, there ain't no doubt,
the woman that used to be mine
She is a missing person
She's hiding away it would seem
She is a missing person
She so much lighter
She is a missing person
She is got a good write up
She so much tighter
Missing person
She is hiding away from me
She up and she left, now she is gone
She didn't even me a
Didn't write me note
Send me no line it's a pity
She is a missing person
Where are you
Missing person
Where are you
Missing person
Hiding away
Missing person
Hiding away
Missing Person
Missing person
Missing Person
Missing Person

Put it in your pocket, leave it in your shoe.
Plug it in your socket, flush it down the loo.
Hey baby, show me something new.
Put it in your hat, put it in your can.
Feed it to your cat, share it with your band.
Hey baby, help me understand.
Well they're fighting in the kitchen and they're fighting in the hall.
Up against the dark and up against the wall.
Why don't you meet me in the bottom, baby; bring your running shoes.

Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', ooh, when you knocked upon my door
And I said, 'hello, satan, I believe it's time to go'
Me and the devil, was walkin' side by side
Me and the devil, ooh, was walkin' side by side
I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied
She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round
[Spoken:] Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, now
She say you don't see why, ooh, that I will dog her 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground
You may bury my body, down by the highway side
[Spoken:] Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone
You may bury my body, ooh, down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit, can get a Greyhound bus and ride
by John Martyn
May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold.
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a barroom fight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.
Well, you're just like a great, strong sister to me,
And I know that your love is true,
And you hold no blade for to stab me in my back;
I know that there's some that do.
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
Please, won't you please, bear it in mind for me.
Chorus
Well, you're just like a great, strong brother to me,
And I know that your love is true,
And you never talk dirty behind my back;
I know that there's some that do.
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
Please, won't you please, bear it in mind for me.
Chorus
May you never lose your woman overnight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.
It's the sugar so sweet
The kind I like to eat
You and me
Tell no one else about it
I'm gonna make you mine
'Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then baby
Hey I want you to know
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
Come on in the back of my '57
Let me show you the way
Way to heaven
You're looking so sweet, yes you are
I'll make sure that you got some heat
I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then baby
I want you to know
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I'm falling in love with you
I'm in love with you
You make all my dreams come true
Make all my dreams come true
Falling in love with you
I wanna marry you
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
You say you do when you don't - you say you will when you won't.
You make me laugh make me cry - you make me live make me die.
You put me in put me out - you make me scream make me shout.
You pick me up put me down - you make me king make me clown.
[Chorus:]
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
You can turn on the light in the middle of the night.
You can put me to rest, what you do is the best.
You can turn me away and get me back the next day.
You can fill up my heart or you can tear it apart.
[Chorus]
You got me so excited you put my heart on overload.
You got my soul ignited - I'm getting ready to explode.
There ain't no early warning for what I'm going through.
I got the fever in the morning because my heart is set on you.
[Chorus]
You're always in my hair, you keep me feeling fine.
I celebrate every time I realize you're really mine
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a man in love,
Yes I'm a man in love.
I tell it everywhere I go,
I want the whole world to know
That I'm a man in love.
I used to be so sad, like a dog without a bone
And then you gave me something baby I had never known.
[Chorus]
I love to see you walk up and down the street,
You look so pretty baby from your head down to your feet.
[Chorus]
Well, the minutes seem like hours, and the hours seem like days
And the days they seem like years everytime you go away.
[Chorus]
I keep drinking malted milk, trying to drive my blues away.
I keep drinking malted milk, trying to drive my blues away.
Baby, you're just as welcome to my loving as the flowers is in May.
Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushing to my head.
Malted milk, malted milk, keep rushing to my head.
And I have a funny, funny feeling and I'm talking all out my head.
Baby, fix me one more drink and hug your daddy one more time.
Baby, fix me one more drink and hug your daddy one more time.
Keep on stirring my malted milk, mama, until I change my mind.
My doorknob keeps on turning, there must be spooks around my bed.
My doorknob keeps on turning, there must be spooks around my bed.
And I have a funny, funny feeling and the hair's rising on my head
by George Terry
My heart was leaping in the sun;
My friends all say that you're the one.
Let me get this one thing very clear:
There ain't enough going on down here.
Mainline Florida, oh say.
Mainline Florida, O.K.
Her arms were open, open wide;
Her invitation's a changing tide.
I could remember not long ago
We took a cruise down on Hotel Row.
Chorus
Second Verse
Chorus
by Stevie Wonder and Ivy Jo Hunter
I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, 'stead of only one.
When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I'm truly glad I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Each night I pray we'll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I'd be lost if you went away.
Chorus
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Chorus
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don't you know my baby there.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
(Robert Johnson)
I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand
And I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand
Well it's hard to tell it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain
All my love's in vain
When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye
When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her in the eye
Well I was lonesome I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry
All my love's in vain
When the train it left the station, 't was two lights on behind
When the train it left the station, 't was two lights on behind
Well the blue light was my blues and the red light was my mind
All my love's in vain
Ooh... [vocalized verse]
All my love's in vain
[Originally by The Spinners]
Sometimes a girl
Will come and go
You reach for love
But life wont let ya know
That in the end
Youll still be lovin her
But then shes gone
Youre all alone
Sign of pain
Is on my face, well
My hearbeat stops
But I wont take the blame, no no
I gave her all the love I had within
My love was strong
Somethin went wrong, no! no!
It takes a fool to learn
Yes sir
That love don't love nobody
Love love love love love love
It takes a fool to learn
Yes it does, girl
That love don't love no one
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
Stop to think about it, well
That love don't love nobody
Oh! Oh no!
It takes a fool to learn
When youre down and out, shout about it
That love don't love no more
Tell the world, oooh babe
No more...
Ohhhhhh, babe
It takes a fool to learn
Gotta be more careful about myself
That love don't love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
Woah baby, took me a long time to learn, to learn, well
That love don't love no one
It takes a fool to learn
I was a fool, you were a fool
That love don't love nobody
Now we got love, we need love
It takes a fool to learn
Go do it,
Got to go through that door,
There's no easy was out at all...
Still it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.
For you who it always seems blue
It all comes, it never rains
But it pours,
Still it only takes time...
'Til love comes to everyone.
There in your heart...
Something that's never changing;
Always a part of...
Something that's never ageing,
That's in your heart...
It's so true it can happen to you all; there,
Knock and it will open wide,
And it only takes time
'Til love comes to everyone.
Hey Louise, what you're trying to do?
Louise, Louise, what you're trying to do?
You're trying to love me girl and love another man too
Big boat up the river, stuck on a bank of sand
If you don't get in deep water soon, you're never gonna get to land
Louise, Louise what you're trying to do?
You're trying to love me girl and love another man too
My mama she told me, now I understand
You're trying to love me Louise, love another man
Louise, Louise, what you're trying to do?
You're trying to love me girl and love another man too
Somebody's been fishing, fishing in my pond
Catching all my little fishes, grinding up the bones
Louise, Louise, what you're trying to do?
by Eric Clapton
I must be invisible;
No one knows me.
I have crawled down dead-end streets
On my hands and knees.
I was born with a ragin' thirst,
A hunger to be free,
But I've learned through the years.
Don't encourage me.
'Cause I'm a lonely stranger here,
Well beyond my day.
And I don't know what's goin' on,
So I'll be on my way.
When I walk, stay behind;
Don't get close to me,
'Cause it's sure to end in tears,
So just let me be.
Some will say that I'm no good;
Maybe I agree.
Take a look then walk away.
That's all right with me.
Chorus
[Instrumental]
You don't need no high I.Q.
To get right down and sing the blues.
If you're down, here's what to do;
Me and my guitar will sing for you.
[Chorus:]
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
Oh, little Rachel, oh.
I got a box and an old whisk broom.
We gonna rock around the room.
When my guitar plays this tune,
We gonna dance to the light of the moon.
[Chorus]
What you feel, that ain't no jive.
The get down sound makes you feel alive.
[Chorus]
Push it, little Rachel, push it.
Push it, little Rachel, push it.
Pull it, little Rachel, pull it.
Pull it, little Rachel, pull it.
Now she is a little queen of spades, and the men will not let her be
Hoo, she´s the little queen of spades, and the men will not let her be
Ev´ry time she makes a spread, hoo, fair brown, cold chills just run all over me
I´m gon´ get me a gamblin´ woman, if it´s the last thing that I do
Hoo, gon´ get me a gamblin´ woman, if it´s the last thing that I do
Well, a man don´t need a woman, hoo fair brown, that he got to give all his money to
Everybody say she got a mojo, now she´s been using that stuff
Mmmm, everybody say she got a mojo, cause she´s been using that stuff
But she got a way of trimmin´ down, hoo fair brown, and I mean it´s most too tough
Now, little girl, since I am the king, baby, and you is a queen
Whoo hoo, since I am the king, baby, and you is a queen
Let´s us put our heads together, hoo fair brown, then we make our money green
by Jimi Hendrix
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running 'round.
Butterflies and zebras, fairy tales,
That's all she ever thinks about.
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
Said, "It's all right, take anything you want,
Anything you want, anything."

Second Verse
Fly on, little wing.
Standing at the crossroads
trying to read the signs
To tell me which way I should
go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Looking for a reason
to check out of my mind
Playing hard to get a
friend that I can count on
When there's nothing left to show
Plant yout love and let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Time is getting shorter
there's much for you to do
Only ask and you will
get what you are needing
The rest is up to you
Plant your love and let it grow.
Let it grow
let it grow
Let it blossom
let it flow
In the sun
the rain
the snow
Love is lovely
let it grow.
Let it grow

Let it blossom

In the sun

Love is lovely

Let it blossom

In the sun

Love is lovely

Tell me anything you think I wanna hear
Just to keep me standin' here
To secure your shaky fears
Tell me you love me, but in your heart you know you don't
So you lie 'cause you think I want
To make believe you love when you don't
Lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on, lead me on
I'll play along and along and along
Baby lead me on
Lead me on
Pretend it's rainin' when the tears flow from my eyes
And you're warm when you're cold as ice
And everything's gonna be alright
And it's a shame, little Johnn wears my name
And you know I'm not the one
Still you say he is my son
Chorus
And when I leave to go work for you
You cry you're lonely too
To make me feel your love is true
But in your dreams you slip and tell it all
I hear you calling out his name
You say you love him loud and plain
Chorus
by Eric Clapton, Marcy Levy and George Terry
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.
Chorus
I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.
Chorus
Chorus
Well I met this old woman
She was hard as nails
I think she just come out of the
County jail
Would I loan her some money
Just to pay her rent
If I would she would put me
In her
Last Will and Testament
Well I've got lots of children
An ex-wife or two
I never hear from them
'til the bills are due
The money I gave them
They already spent
If I could just help 'em out
They would put me in their
Last Will and Testament
You know I'm goin' over sixty
I'm older than most
It won't be long now
I'll be nothin' but a ghost
My intentions
It's my intent
To leave all of them people
Out of my
Last Will and Testament
And when it's all over
They put you in the ground
Send my belongings
To the Lost and Found
My intentions
It's my intent
To leave all of them people
Out of my
Last Will and Testament
Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
She's gone away and left me; that makes me feel so bad.
It's early in the morning and my love is coming down to you.
It's early in the morning and my love is coming down to you.
I'll love you, love you, baby, till I don't know what to do.
Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
Last night, I lost the best friend I ever had.
Now you've gone away and left me; that makes me feel so bad

I don't want to lose this good thing that I’ve got
If I do, I would surely, surely lose a lot
Cos your love is better than any love I know
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Think I'd better knock on wood, baby
I’m not superstitious about you, I can't take no chance
You got me spinning, baby, baby I’m in a trance
Cos your love is better than any love I know
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Think I'd better knock on wood, baby
Ain't no secret, that woman fills my loving cup
She sees to it that I get enough
Just one touch from her, you know can do so much
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
Think I'd better knock on wood, baby
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

I've got a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
I've got a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
You would do to quit me just to have it on your mind.
I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me.
I've got a kind hearted woman, do anything in this world for me.
But these evil hearted women, Lord, and they will not let me be.
Now it ain't but one thing makes Mr. Clapton drink.
I swear about how you treat me baby, I begin to think.
Oh baby, my life don't feel the same.
It breaks my heart when you call Mr. So-and-So's name.
She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
She's a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time.
You're best to quit me baby as just to have it on your mind.
I never realized that you were in pain.
I wanna help you honey, let me see you again.
Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough.
Life is so bad, baby, when I find the key to love.
Put a smile on your face and dry away your tears.
Life is bound to get better as you live your years.
[Repeat First Chorus]
Somewhere in this world, the one you waited for
Come along and find you, turn the key in your door.
Hurts my soul, babe, when I find you feeling rough.
Life is so bad, baby, when you find the key to love.
Just like a prisoner,
He don't know right from wrong.
Just like a baby,
He sings a pleading song
And that's why
So many tears must fall.
Yes, that's why
So many tears must fall.
Just like a sailor,
He steers away from home.
He feels a tidal wave
In his heart, but he ain't alone
[Repeat First Chorus]
I'm like that prisoner,
I don't know right from wrong.
Just like that baby,
I sing a pleading song
And that's why
You'll never know how I feel.
Yes, that's why
You'll never know how I feel.

You see her walking down the road.
Man, that little girl is fine.
I’d like to take her for a ride.
I’d like to make her mine, all mine.
Look at that jailbait.
Ain’t that jailbait.
Come on jailbait.
She’s just jailbait.
And do her mom and daddy know
She gets all the boys so wound?
She can’t be more than sixteen.
Man, that little girl is sound.
Hey little girl, where you going tonight?
Hey little girl.

Hey little girl, where you going tonight?

Chorus
by Sting, Michael Kamen and Eric Clapton
If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground.
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat,
No one would you see.
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me?
My only friend, who could it be?
It's hard to say it, I hate to say it, but it's probably me.
When your belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal,
You search the city for your only friend,
No one would you see.
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me?
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free.
I hate to say it, I hate to say it, but it's probably me.
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show.
Some would say I should let you go your way,
You'll only make me cry.
But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die,
I hate to say it, I hate to say it, but it's probably me.
When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
And there's only one voice that comes to your defense.
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see.
And if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die,
I hate to say it, I hate to say it, but it's probably me.
I hate to say it, I hate to say it, but it's probably me...
It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.
Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.

I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.
Chorus
If you need a woman, in bed with you
Tell her in front, what you can do
It's easy
Easy as pie
You don't have to BS her, you don't have to lie
If you play the guitar, it won't be long, you'll be writin'
And singin' them songs
It's easy
Easy you bet
You'll be big, if you don't quit
If you feel kinda lonesome, no friends in sight
Get yourself a dog, it will be all right
Get yourself two, lucky you
One thing nice, it'll be there twice to love you
It's so easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind
If a woman thinks she's ugly, or always depressed
She can go out and buy herself a new dress
It's easy
Easy my friend
Solves all of her problems, that's for sure
It's so easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind
If cash is your problem, you might regret
Use that old plastic, slide two third in debt
It's easy
Easy you see
If tomorrow never comes, everything is free
So easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind
It's so easy
Getting through these times
So easy
With your life in mind
So you think you are something special;
I wonder why, baby, is that so?
Could admit, you are something special.
Won't you tell me, girl? I'd love to know.
Yes, I've seen you with your other girlfriends.
I can tell they really think you're fine.
And I've seen you with your other men friends.
They don't know if you're a love of mine.
[Chorus:]
It all depends on how you feel, baby.
I've got to know just how you feel, baby.
It all depends on how you feel, baby.
I've got to know just how you feel, baby.
[Chorus]
'Cause you've taken away
The only thing I ever ever had.
Don't you know that I love you?
Why'd you make me feel bad?
'Cause the only thing I ever loved
Was loving you.
[Repeat First Verse]
[Chorus]
What makes you think you are something special?
You know it ain't right just to treat me this a way.
Well, you know it ain't right just to treat me this a way.
Well, you know, my baby, have you home one day.
You know it ain't right just to treat me like you do.
Well, you know it ain't right just to treat me like you do.
Well, you know, my baby, coming home to you.
You know it ain't right, baby, stay out all night long.
Well, you know it ain't right, baby, stay out all night long.
Well, you know, my baby, you done something wrong.
by Eric Clapton and Simon Climie
The point on the water, there's a change in the air,
A vibe in the darkness but there's nobody there.
I look for the reason but there's nothing to see,
Just a hole in my memory where my mind used to be.
Tell me why
Can I find no relief in my heart.
I reside
In a world that has fallen apart.
Out of my mind, baby, show me a sign, baby,
Show me a way to get back on time, please.
Where do we go, baby, how will I know?
Who holds the key, is it hidden inside of me?
But why should I worry and why do I care
When this road that I walk on is going nowhere.
I stand and I study every face in the crowd,
See the fear in their eyes, they must be thinking out loud.
Chorus
Scratching the surface, it all looks the same;
A world full of anger with no one to blame.
But who can I turn to? Who holds the key?
And who has the answer? I think it's inside of me.
Chorus
Chorus
All things considered it looks as though Utopia were far closer to us than
anyone, only fifteen years ago, could have imagined. Then, I projected it six
hundred years into the future. Today it seems quite possible that the horror
may be upon us within a single century. That is, if we refrain from blowing
ourselves to smithereens in the interval. Indeed, unless we choose to
decentralize and to use applied science, not as the end to which human beings
are to be made the means, but as the means to producing a race of free
individuals, we have only two alternatives to choose from: either a number of
national militarized totalitarianisms, having as their root the terror of the
atomic bomb and as their consequence the destruction of civilization (or, if
the warfare is limited, the perpetuation of militarism); or else one
supranational totalitarianism, called into existence by the social chaos
resulting from rapid technological progress in general and the atomic
revolution in particular, and developing, under the need for efficiency and
stability, into the welfare-tyranny of Utopia. You pays your money and you
takes your choice.
{The quote is the final paragraph of the foreward to Aldous Huxley's "Brave
New World", transcribed here in its entirety.}
by Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy
I was a child born so free;
It seems that time has put age on me.
And when I grow old, will I once again find
All of those sweet, innocent times?
I was a child born without fear;
It seems that time has placed me here.
With no freedom to laugh, there's more reason to cry.
I really miss those innocent times.
I used to feel joy in my soul,
But now my sorrow has taken control.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times,
Just one more taste of those innocent times.
would you know my name
if i saw you in heaven
would it be the same
if i saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven
would you hold my hand
if i saw you in heaven
would you help me stand
if i saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
'cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down
time can bend your knees
time can break your heart
have you beggin' please
beggin' and please
beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
and I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
would it be the same
if i saw you in heaven
I must be strong
and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven
(Robert Johnson)
If I had possession over judgement day,
If I had possession over judgement day,
Lord, the little woman I'm lovin' wouldn't have no right to pray.
And I went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see.
And I went to the mountain, lookin' far as my eyes could see.
Some other man got my woman and the 'a lonesome blues got me.
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long.
And I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long.
Boy, I woke up this mornin', my biscuit roller gone.
Had to fold my armes and I slowly walked away.
[Spoken:] 'I didn't like the way she done.'
Had to fold my armes and I slowly walked away.
I said in my mind, Yo' trouble gon' come someday.
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee.
Now run here, baby, set down on my knee.
I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me.
[Chorus:]
Blue sky upon the horizon,
Private eye is on my trail,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have spent the night in jail.
I've been running from Memphis to L. A.
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
And if I don't be there by morning
You know that I must have gone the other way.
Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
Sometimes I think of you girl,
Is it true that you think of me too?
I got a woman living in L. A.
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
And if I don't be there by morning,
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray.
[Chorus]
I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
I left her waiting, I hope she's waiting for me still.
If I don't be there by morning
You know that I, I never will.
Verse 1
If I could reach the stars
Pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams
chorus:
That I can
Change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby, if i could change the world
If I could be king, even for a day
I'd take you as my queen
I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule
this kingdom we have made
Til' then i'll be a fool
Wishing for the day
chorus
Baby if I could...change the world
I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby, if I could change the world (repeat 2x)
Well, I've told you for the last time,
Told you for the last time.
I'm gonna turn on my love light,
Let it shine one more time,
Let it shine, shine, shine for the last time.
There's gonna be a big change made, and I'm gonna make it.
This time I'm gonna lay it on the line.
I got a lot to give when you're woman enough to take it, oh yeah.
Chorus
I sure want to love you baby, baby if you'd only let me.
You only pick me up just to put me down.
I finally let my mind make a decision, oh yeah.
I'm gonna start my wheels a-spinnin',
Let 'em turn one more time,
Let 'em turn, oh yeah, for the last time.
First Verse
Chorus
I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl;
Right at this moment, I could promise you the world.
Before we go crazy, before we explode,
There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know,
You got to know.
[Chorus:]
I get off on '57 Chevys;
I get off on screaming guitar.
Like the way it hits me every time it hits me.
I've got a rock and roll, I've got a rock and roll heart.
Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night,
So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight.
I guess there's nothing left for me to explain;
Here's what you're gettin' and I don't want to change,
I don't want to change.
[Chorus]
I don't need to glitter, no Hollywood,
All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good.
[Chorus]
I'm your witchdoctor, got the evil eye,
Got the power of the devil, I'm the conjuror guy.
Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour,
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey.
Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.
I was born in the country and I lived in the trees.
I got my voodoo from the birds and the bees.
Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour,
Gonna feel you burning, little passion flower.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey.
Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.
I'm your witchdoctor, got the evil eye,
Got the power of the devil, I'm the conjuror guy.
Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour,
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.
I went to the river to jump in.
My baby showed up and said, 'I will tell you when.'
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.
I love you babe with all my heart and soul;
Love like mine will never grow old.
Love you in the morning and in the evening too.
Every time you leave me I get mad with you.
Chorus
I love you baby with all my might;
Love like mine is out of sight.
I'll lie for you if you want me to.
I really don't believe that your love is true.
Chorus
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.

I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do.
I'm tired of weeping, I'm tired of moaning, I'm tired of crying for you.

She got the body of a goddess, everybody know that
Super-cute face and the booty so fat
I'm in the club dropping twenty-four stacks
Cuz I'm in love and that's a well known fact
Like, yeah she know what she doing
If a nigga chillin' with a stripper then he never go back home
She got eyes butter pecan brown can't leave it alone
Liking the way she break it down to the flo'

It's about to go down right now
I'm in love with a stripper
[Twista]
You wanna know where Twista be on fifty
T-Pain invited me to Magic City
I'm about to have some fun 2001, in these pocket all my e-fizzles with me
I like the way mama get up on the table
I like the way she pour the honey in her naval
I like it when she smack her fatty and open it up in front of me
I wanna touch it but I ain't able
The one leg she can shake at the top of the pole
Look at the laffy taffy when she pop, she roll
I wanna get her in the bed right after they close
When I do a video you get the popular role
In the V.I.P. they get a lil' lap dance
Come and grind on the willy of a black man
In my ear tellin' me the shit a nigga like to hear
While I nibble on ya nipple like Pac-Man
She freakin' she lickin' she rubbin'
Then she pulled my dick out and start suckin'
All because I be the Twista
Even though T-Pain told me shorty was a freak
I asked her can I take her home (Down right now)
[Chorus 2X - T-Pain]
I'm in love with a stripper
She really think I'm playing, I'm playing
She take me for a joke when I say it
I'm in love with a stripper
Got it real hot, gotta get with her
I can't stay out this club
[Pimp C]
Uh, young Pimp C
I'm a P-I-M-P, trickin' ain't in my pedigree
It really ain't bout no square love it's strictly cause she payin' me
She be wantin' lay me but I can't do too much of that
Cuz even though yo ass fat, freakin' off ain't where it's at
But I can show you how to get out there and get it
You love yo daddy I know ya with it
That's why I got love for you
Cuz you get out there and do what it do
Workin' my piece and work the pole
Break the trick you gotta pay to roll
Get the money break 'em off
And we in the Benz and we scratchin' off
[Paul Wall]
It was love at first sight when I seen that ass shakin'
And bout fifty dollars later it was love in our makin'
Ya simply won my heart when I saw the way ya work that pole
And when you bent over ya had my wallet in a choke hold
I saw you in your birthday suit and and baby it was fate
When you give me a lap dance its like we gone on a date
But I feel like ya cheatin' on me when I see ya dancin' with other guys
I'm runnin' low on ones, I cant lie I'm in love baby
[Chorus 2X - T-Pain]
[MJG]
I'm in love with a stripper, I need to get some stripper counselin'
Cuz I'm the first one in the front row when they make a stripper announcement
I think I'm fallin' in love with the one with the most ass
Thin, lil' bitty waist, I'ma go and buy that bitch a Volkswagen
MJG, pimp tight, no mo' tippin' stop the bill
If I come in here one mo' night I'm gon' need Dr. Phil
But I'm a G, I'll step back and tell them bitches outright
Ain't no way I can turn a stripper into a housewife
[Too $hort]
The last girl was pretty but she wasn't fine as you
She sexy but she couldn't do the thangs you do
She could dance but nothin' like the way you move
I used to want her until the day I saw you
I'm a grown ass man I thought I seen it all
Doin' all that on the pole and didn't even fall
And right then I knew exactly what it was (What's that)
I wanna fuck the baddest bitch in the club
[Chorus 4X - T-Pain]
Well I can't read and I can't write
And I don't know my left from right.
[Chorus:]
I can't tell if the sun's gonna shine
And I don't know if you'll ever be mine,
But I'll make love to you any old time at all.
I can't swim and I can't fly,
I ain't no fish, ain't a bird in the sky.
[Chorus]
I can't count from one to ten,
And I don't know the shape I'm in.
[Chorus]
by Murray Mencher & Billy Moll
I want a little girl, call my own.
She must be someone who's all alone now.
Say, I want a little girl to fall in love with me, oh yeah.
I want a little girl, but she may not look
Just like a picture in a story book.
If she can cook chicken, yeah, she'll suit me to a T.
And she don't have to wave her hair
Or even wear fancy clothes, I wouldn't even care.
She don't wear nylon hose, oh.
I want a little girl to love a lot.
You know that I'd give her everything I got.
I want a little girl to fall in love with me.
By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
She took my hand
And tried to make me understand
That she would always be there,
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I’m such a lonely man.
It came as no surprise to me
That she’d leave me in misery.
It seemed like only yesterday
She made a vow that she’d never walk away.
First verse
And if it seemed a sin
To love another man’s woman, baby,
I guess I’ll keep on sinning
Loving her, lord, till my very last day.
But I looked away
And she ran away from me today;
I’m such a lonely man.
You've been told,
So maybe it's time that you learned.
You've been sold,
Maybe it's time that you earned.
[Chorus:]
I can't stand it.
You're fooling around, I can't stand it.
You're running around, I can't stand it.
You're fooling around with my heart.
I'll explain;
I feel like I'm being used.
Make it plain,
So you don't get confused.
[Chorus 2x]
It's time,
Time for me to let you know.
Ain't no crime,
No crime to let your feelings show.
[Chorus]
I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said, 'Stop what you're doing and baby come on home.'
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.
You said, 'Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire.
You know that I love you, I can't stand to see you cry.'
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.
She said, 'Baby you can run, you can walk or fly.
You know that I love you, you're my heart's desire.'
I can't hold out, I can't hold out too long.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone, oh yeah.
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.
I talked to my baby, I talked to my baby.
I get a real good feeling talking to you on the phone.
by Stevie Wonder
I don't want to believe what they're telling me;
Somebody's been picking in my cherry tree.
I don't want to mistrust somebody by mistake.
Somebody's been digging 'round in my cake.
And I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby, nah nah.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby.
I ain't gonna stand for it, baby, nah nah, nah nah.
I don't want to believe what somebody said;
Somebody said somebody's shoe was under my bed.
I don't want to cause nobody no bodily harm.
Somebody's been rubbing on my good luck charm.

I was ready to take a chance,
I found myself a new romance.
Then you call that same old night,
Always change my mind.
Oh no, not again.
Oh no, not again.
Just when I thought it was over, you come back
And I'm hung up on your love again.
Just when I thought I was free, you come back.
Now I'm hung up on your love again.
Just as I was doing good,
You come back, just to prove you could.
Things will always be the same,
With me the victim of the game.
Oh no, not again.
Oh no, not again.

How long, baby how long,
Has that evening train been gone?
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Went to the station, didn't see no train.
Down in my heart, I have an aching pain.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
I feel disgusted, I feel so bad
Thinking 'bout the good time that I once had had.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
I could see the green grass growing on the hill;
I ain't seen no greenback on a dollar bill.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
You're gonna be sorry you feel so blue.
When you want me, baby, I declare I want, want you.
How long, how how long, baby how long?
Don't have no money for to ride the train.
I would ride the rugs, baby, to be with you again.

How long, baby how long
Must I keep my, my watching point?

Been snoopin' round my door

You told me you was high class
I could see through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat

Everything had changed.
I hold up my head.
Girl, I'm just trying to make you understand.

Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man.

You had your elevator running slow.

Take me on the third floor.

Holy Mother, where are you?
Tonight I feel broken in two.
I've seen the stars fall from the sky.
Holy mother, can't keep from crying.
Oh I need your help this time,
Get me through this lonely night.
Tell me please which way to turn
To find myself again.
Holy mother, hear my prayer,
Somehow I know you're still there.
Send me please some peace of mind;
Take away this pain.
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait any longer.
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for you.
Holy mother, hear my cry,
I've cursed your name a thousand times.
I've felt the anger running through my soul;
All I need is a hand to hold.
Oh I feel the end has come,
No longer my legs will run.
You know I would rather be
In your arms tonight.
When my hands no longer play,
My voice is still, I fade away.
Holy mother, then I'll be
Lying in, safe within your arms.
by Eric Clapton and Phil Collins
Deep down in the dead of night I call out your name.
It seems now that nothing is right, there's nothing but pain.
If only I'd told you I love you, now all I can do is...
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
You've got to hold on, hold on to the feeling.
I don't feel right on this sad night.
Lord, I've got thistles growing in my pillow.
If you could believe in me, then I could be strong,
And then we could set our love free and right all these wrongs.
You'll know when I touch you how much you still mean to me, baby.
Chorus
Hold on, hold on.
Just give me one more chance.
Please give me one more chance.
Don't tell me our romance is through.
Chorus
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
You've got to hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Hold on, hold on to the feeling.
Sixteen days in Bethlehem, peddling dope and drinking wine.
Pulling women, making gigs, steering clear and doing fine.
I moved on down to Galilee, trying to find a few new friends.
I'm throwing aces everywhere, trying to forget the end.
[Chorus:]
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord,
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through.
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord,
Hold me tight, I beg of you.
I'm cruising through Jerusalem, dust is flying everywhere.
I'm dodging bullets, making time, on the level, in the square.
They say you kissed your best friend's hand, they say you did it for his love.
They say you got in agony, the hand fits well into the glove.
[Chorus 3x]
High upon a mountain top
Where the eagle builds his nest
I shall go wandering,
Trying to put my mind at rest,
And I shall never cease
Until the day I die.
He was once a friend of mine,
But I did not know or care
Until she said goodbye.
I cried till I could hardly see
The meaning of my life.
What do I do now?
High upon a mountain top
Where the eagle builds his nest
I shall go wandering,
Trying to put my mind at rest,
And I shall never cease
Until the day I die.

By eric clapton and will jennings
Are you going to help me or will you let me down?
I’m looking for a true love but am I lost or found?
And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain?
And will our lonely teardrops fill the world with rain?
Help me up, don’t you let me down.
I’m gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold ground.
Can’t you hear the lovers crying in the night?
They spend their whole lives trying; still can’t get it right.
I don’t know where we’re going but I guess we’ll start
And just to show that I mean it, baby here’s my heart.
Chorus
Living on my feelings, feelings all I know.
Baby once we touch it, we’ll never let it go.

I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
I knew something wasn't right.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.
And they say heaven is one step away.

I just had to carry on.
I couldn't find it; you couldn't find it.

Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
There is nothing you can show me

I've got time to kill
Keeping to myself inside this room
Time to kill
Keeping to myself inside this room
Over forty years of fridays
You would give up trying too
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
I'm hardly thrilled
Nothing really moves me anymore
There is nothing you can show me
That I haven't seen before
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
Hard to thrill
Nothing really moves me anymore
I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues.
I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues.
I keep weeping and crying every time I think of you.
I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun,
I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun,
Than to think of some other man holding you in his arms.
My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones.
My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones.
I can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan
I saw you in a dream, it hit me like a bright light
Flashing on a screen, visions of my whole life.
I used to chase the moment of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.
It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion.
Heart was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.
I held you in my arms till the other side of midnight.
Kept you in my mind, you got me through some long nights.
Standing on the threshold of desire,
Caught between the madness and the fire.
It was just a, nothing but a grand illusion.
Heart was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.
It was all a grand illusion.
Hand was quicker than the eye.
Nothing but a grand illusion,
Legends in our own minds.
I used to chase the moments of desire
Back to when my young heart burned like a fire.
It was just a, nothing but a, it was all a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was all a grand illusion,
Legend in my own mind.
It was just a grand illusion.
Nothing but a grand illusion.
It was just a grand illusion,
Legends in our own minds.

I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low.
Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low.
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name.
But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same.
No matter how I try,
My heart just don't see why
I can't forget you.
If ever it should be
You want to come back to me,
You know I'd let you.

Don't you know what's wrong with me?
I'm seeing things I don't want to see.
Sniffing things that ain't no good for me.
I'm going down fast, won't you say a prayer for me?
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
It's got to get better in a little while.
The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday.
Revolution all across the land.
Just like Sly, you got to take a stand.
Please don't hurt nobody, don't knock them down;
Give them a helping hand to get off the ground.
Chorus
The sun's got to shine on my guitar someday.
Still one thing that you can do;
Fall down on your knees and pray.
I know the Lord's gonna answer you.
Don't do it tomorrow, do it today.

Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Can I go home with you?
Won't you let me go home with you,
So I can hug, hug, squeeze, squeeze?
If you let me I can tease you baby.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.
Let's dance, little schoolgirl.
Let's dance, little schoolgirl.
Won't you let me take you to the hop, hop,
Have a party at the soda shop
So we can do the twist, do the stroll
To the music of the rock 'n' roll.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.
First Verse
Good morning, little schoolgirl.

Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind.
Lord, I'm going away just to wear you off my mind.
Well you keep me worrying 'bout it all the time.
Well, I ain't been loved but four womens in my life.
Well, I ain't ever loved but four womens in my life.
Well, my mother and my sister, sweetheart and my wife.
If you don't want me baby, please don't call me 'round.

Well, just like you found me, you can put me down.
Well now goodbye baby, if you call at home.

You can go away; swear you won't stay long.

But please, give me strength to carry on.

Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Well, you've been fooling 'round and I don't know why.
Left me on my own, sitting high and dry.
But I'm going to get you back, just you wait and see;
You can't do those things that you're doing to me.
Chorus
I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound,
Checking out the bitches in heat.
You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve,
Waggling your piece of meat.
Chorus
I want to get revenge on your sinful sins.
I got to get you back for what you did back then.
And now you've got it back, life is misery.
Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart.
Get ready, get ready, get ready.

Break your heart, break your heart.

From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying.
From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying.
I believe to my soul that your daddy’s gulfport bound.
From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown.
From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown.
You know she won’t do nothing but tear a good man’s reputation down.
A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through it’s drawers.

She cause so many men to wear an apron overall.
When I leave this town I will bid you fare farewell.
When I leave this town I will bid you fare farewell.
And when I return again, you’ll have a great long story to tell.
How many times must I tell you babe,
How many bridges I've got to cross?
How many times must I explain myself
Before I can talk to the boss,
'Fore I can talk to the boss?
How many times must I say I love you
Before you finally understand?
Won't you be my forever woman?
I'll try to be your forever man,
Try to be your forever man.
Second Verse
Forever man, forever man, forever man.

We took the long way home, you held my hand,
The days so full of all the things we had planned.
We walked beyond the green, beyond the day.
We shared a dream that I let slip away.
I had to find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
You were the man who knew too much to say.
So many things that I learned came your way.
These things I know that I can't forget,
Deep in my heart, they're a part of me yet.
They helped me find myself.
They helped me find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
Too many years rolled by without a word.
I tried to hide behind things that I'd heard.
And now the truth is clear for all to see
That through it all, it was you believed in me.
You helped me find myself.
I had to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
I got to find myself.
I got to find myself.
No use looking for no one else,
'Cause I'll be lonely till I find myself.
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tore me all to pieces, cut me half in two.
Tell me why did I fall in love with you?
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Tore me all to pieces, nothing else remains.
Tell me why do my tears fall like rain?
Worry, worry, worry;
Worry all day long.
Don't know where I'm going;
Don't know right from wrong.
Tell me why, tell me why.
Tell me why, tell me why.

You talk about your woman, I wish you could see mine.
You talk about your woman, I wish you could see mine.
Every time she starts to loving, she brings eyesight to the blind.
Her daddy gave her magic, I can tell by the way she walks.
Daddy gave her lots of magic, I can tell by the way she walks.
Every time she starts a-shakin', the dumb begin to talk.
She has got the power to heal you, never fear.
She has got the power to heal you, never fear.
Just one word from her lips and the deaf can hear.
It's a long way from home,
Can't sleep at night.
Call on your telephone;
Something just ain't right.
That's evil, evil is going on wrong.
I want to warn you brother,
You better watch your happy home.
You make it to your house,
Knock on the front door,
Run 'round to the back;
You'll catch him just before he goes.
That's evil, evil is going on.
I have warned you brother,
You better watch your happy home.
If you call on the telephone
And she answers long and slow,
Grab the first thing smoking
And you have to haul her home. (*)
That's evil, evil is going on wrong.
I have warned you brother,
You better watch your happy home.
Change in the weather,
Change in the sea,
Come back baby,
You'll find a change in me.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We have to go down in that lonesome ground.
I changed suits,
I changed shirts,
I changed, baby,
Just to get shed of the dirt.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.
I changed honey,
I changed money,
I changed, people,
Just to keep from being funny.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.
Change in the ocean,
Change in the sea,
Come back baby,
You'll find a change in me.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later
We're going down in that lonesome ground.

When the world receives the light
At the beginning of the day
You will let me call your name
‘cause I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
And when the morning comes too soon
And I am still without your love
You will let me call your name
‘cause I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Whatever happened to the girls I used to know?
Whatever hapenned to the places that we'd go,
When we were running in and out of time
But all the time we still believe in life?
We were running in and out of time
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there’s nothing left to say
You will let me call your name
‘cause I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
We were running in and out of time
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there’s nothing left to say
You will let me call your name
‘cause I love you more than light
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe (I believe)
As long as you believe, (You believe)
As long as I believe that you believe,
then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
As long as I believe that you believe,
then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
Believe in life.
I believe in life.
I believe in life.

I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
Well I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me.
If my baby would only take me back again.
If my baby would only take me back again.
I would feel much better, darling, and at least I'd have a friend.
I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do.
I give you all my money, tell me what more can I do.
You is a sweet little girl but I swear you won't be true.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
I'm drifting and drifting, just like a ship out on the sea.
Because I ain't got nobody in this world to care for me

Dreaming about my love;
You bring me joy and happiness,
More or less.
I dream my life away.
Waiting for you to come;
Changing my life for you to emptyness,
Meaningless.
Minutes just drift by.
I don’t care if I get nowhere.
I can just dream and you’ll be there.
What else is there to do?
Dreaming about my life;
Where are you now, and when will you
Come to me?
I dream my life away.
Chorus
First verse
Dreaming, dreaming.
It's a mean old scene
When it comes to double crossing time.

They will spin around and cheat you blind.
Double crossing man is mean,
He will try to make it so you lose.
Double crossing man,
He will try to make it so you lose.
You'll fill your mind with worry,
You know he hurt me with the blues.

Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby.
Tell me lies but hold, hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye, woman say hello, say hello.
It's sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go,
And don't say yes, but please don't say no.
I don't want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please, do as you please,
But you ain't going to see me getting down on my knees,
'Cause I'm undecided and your heart's been divided.
You've been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right, do me right baby.
Go on and tell me lies but hold, hold me tight.
And save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
Save your goodbyes till the morning light,
But don't let me be lonely tonight.
'Cause I don't want to be lonely tonight.
I don't want to be lonely.
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

You say you want everything good for me,
But I know so well, I can tell when you're lying.
Making believe you're looking up to me,
And I'm just sitting here, crying.
And I don't know why,
I don't know why,
I don't know why I don't care.
You'll go on back to him, he'll take you in.
I know he's gonna love you, but I still want you back again,
'Cause baby you're part of me, it's deep inside of you.
When he's done all he can, you'll come running to your other man, oh yeah.
Chorus
I know you won't soon forget last night.
Your precious love was all over me, but it's all right.
Go on and try again but you know nothing's gonna change.
That's the way it's gonna be, oh yeah.

I think I'm leaving in the morning,
All your crying won't help you now.
I think I'm leaving in the morning baby, yeah,
All your crying won't help you now.

Everybody, everybody knowed you weren't no good no how.
Yes it was a long time coming baby,
But you, but you finally made it home.
Yes it was a long time coming baby, yeah,
Oh but you finally made it home.
Yes I want you to realize now baby, yeah,
Darling you know you done me wrong.
You built my hopes so high,
Honey, you let me down so low.
Oh you built, you built my hopes so high baby, yeah,
Oh woman, you let me, you let me down so low.
Yes you got me walking 'round here in circles baby,
Oh I don't know which way to go.
Oh just one more time babe,
Just let me, let me prove my love to you.
Yes just one more, one more time baby, yeah,
Why don't you let me, let me prove my love to you.
I want to do all the little things baby,
All the little things I will you ask to do.
Hear my story and listen well;
Truth is in all that I tell.
It could never have been me.
I did not shoot no deputy.
Mr. Grant, the deputy,
Friend to my whole family.
He always tell me when John Brown
Was getting ready to come around.
[Chorus:]
Don't blame me.
Don't blame me.
I hide it all except a few seeds
And make him think I plant for me.
When Mr. Grant and I know all the while
We've got enough for the whole island.
Three years now we sell it in town
Under the bucket that goes down.
No one knew of it but three:
Mr. Grant, Davis and me.
[Chorus]
I swear by God it is a plot;
Davis sent me here to rot.
Listen people, can't you see
Mr. Davis shot the deputy.

When I was young they gave me a mongrel piano,
Spent all my time inventing the cup of tea.
Writing your name in the sea,
Banging my favorite head.
Missing the last bed, waving the cheery herring,
Balancing brass bands on the tip of my toe.
Phoning your home from a tree,
Drinking my favorite loch.
When I was old they gave me a model factory,
I met three salads out on the motorway.
Leaving your name at the door,
Breaking my favorite egg.
Missing the walrus, sharing my last banana,
Balancing zeppelins on the end of my nose.
Calling your name in the zoo,
Blowing my favorite mind.
By ginger baker
Do right, use your head.
Everybody must be fed.
Get together, break your bread.
Yes, together, that’s what I said.
Do what you like.
Don’t fight, use your head.
It’s all right every night.
Do what you like, that’s what I said.
Everybody must be fed.
Do what you like.
Open your eyes.
Realize you’re not dead.
Take a look at an open book.
Do what you like, that’s what I said.
Do what you like.

Upon this street where time has died.
The golden treat you never tried.
In times of old, in days gone by.
If I could catch your dancing eye.
It was on the way,
On the road to dreams, yeah.
Now my heart’s drowned in no love streams, yeah.
The street is cold, it’s trees are gone.
The story’s told the dark has won.
Once we set sail to catch a star.
We had to fail, it was too far.
Chorus
I felt the wind shout like a drum.
You said, "my friend, love’s end has come."
It couldn’t last, had to stop.
You drained it all to the last drop.
Chorus
Now my heart’s drowned in no love streams, yeah.
On this dark street the sun is black.
The winter life is coming back.
On this dark street it’s cold inside.
There’s no retreat from time that’s died.
It was on the way,
On the road to dreams, yeah.
Now my heart’s drowned in no love streams, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now my heart’s drowned in no love streams, yeah.
Now my heart’s drowned in no love.
Well I feel like I'm running down a dead end road
Yes I feel like I'm running down a dead end road
I need some someone to tell me which way I ought to go
Say good by to the morning hello weekend time
Say good bye to the morning down the road I am flying
If I look way beyond me I'll be getting way behind
I can't seem to catch up distance keeps falling away
I can't seem to catch up distance keeps falling away
Makes no difference where I go dead end road every way
I feel like I'm running down a dead end road
Well like I'm running down a dead end road.
I need some one to tell me which way I ought to go

Danger is out into the night
Danger she's such a pretty sight
She was treated so badly it seems, now she's looking for a dream
Danger is out into the night
Danger she walks the streets alone
Danger all the bars she has to know
All the men that look her way could be hers hers today
Danger is out into the night
Locked into a love affair didn't seem to go nowhere
With no choice she thought she might
Caution to the wind, right into the night
Danger she walks the streets alone
Danger all the bars she and I know
All the men that look her way could be hers today
Will she take to find someone new
She goes nowhere I've been
She wants to do too many guys
Shes gone out to the night
Danger shes out into the night
Danger she's such a pretty sight
Danger she's out into the night
Danger she's such a pretty sight
Danger she's out with you tonight
Danger she such a pretty sight

Gonna build myself a castle
High up in the clouds.
There’ll be skies outside my window;
Lose these streets and crowds.
Dance the night away.
Will find myself an ocean,
Sail into the blue,
Live with golden swordfish,
Forget the time of you.
Dance the night away.
Dance myself to nothing.
Vanish from this place.
Gonna turn myself to shadow
So I can’t see your face.
Dance the night away.
I'm a crosscut saw
Baby, drag me across your log
I'm a crosscut saw
Baby, drag me across your log
I cut your wood so easy for you
You can't help but say, "Hot dog!"

The last girl I cut wood for
She wants me back again
I'm a crosscut saw
Baby, drag me across your log

You can't help but say, "Hot dog!" alright
I got a double-bladed axe

Well, I'm a crosscut saw
Gonna bury me in your wood
I'm a crosscut saw
Baby, drag me across your log
I cut your wood so easy for you
Way down in a country town one day
A little ole' country band began to play.
They had two guitars and a beat-up saxophone;
When the leader said go them cats began to blow.
[Chorus:]
Ooh wee oh oh,
Ooh la la, let's rock and roll.
Now all the poeple gathered 'round
Just to dig that rockin' rollin' sound.
Suddenly the drummer rang a bell
And all them country cats began to yell.
[Chorus]
Ole' MacDonald did a crazy bop
Said it's time to milk my cow, I got to stop,
But just before I cool it and cut out
Here's something all you cats can think about.
[Chorus]
Snaggle-toothed Malinda was a drag,
She latched onto a dude who showed up stag.
He tried to run and then he tripped and fell;
She kissed him and we all could hear him yell.
[Chorus]
Well, a hound dog ran a polecat into town,
Brought him to the dance and laid him down.
Someone hollered skunk and you can bet
All them country cats is runnin' yet.

They picked me up, put me in the county jail.
They picked me up, put me in the county jail.
They wouldn't let my woman come and post my bail.
Now I'm in prison, I've almost done my time.
Now I'm in prison, I've almost done my time.
They gave me six months, I had to work out nine.
I know my baby, she's gonna jump and shout.
I know my baby, she's gonna jump and shout.
When the train comes in and I come walking out.
Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs.
Take these stripes from around me, chains from around my legs.
The stripes don't hurt me; the chains could kill me dead.
[Instrumental]
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
Well I guess when you met me
That it were just one of those things
Don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
Oh you're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together
Won't that be fine
Day may be cloudy or sunny
We're either in or we're out of our money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together
Won't that be fine
Day may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of our money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
Rain or shine
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

Mmm... you better come on in my kitchen babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
The woman I love, took from my best friend
Some joker got lucky, stole her back again
You better come on in my kitchen babe, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Oh, she's gone, I know she won't come back
I've taken the last nickel out of her nation sack
You better come on in my kitchen, baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
[Spoken:] Oh, can't you hear that wind howl?
Can't you hear that wind howl?
You better come on in my kitchen, baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
When a woman gets in trouble, everybody throws her down
Lookin' for her good friend, none can't be found
You better come on in my kitchen, baby, it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors
Winter time's comin', it's goin' to be slow
You can make the winter, babe, that's dry long so
You better come on in my kitchen, 'cause it's goin' to be rainin' outdoors

Oh come back baby, oh mama please don't go.

Well I admit, baby, that I was wrong.
Don't you know baby, child you've been gone too long.
Come back baby, yeah yeah,

I'd go up on the mountain, people, I'd call my baby back, oh.
Come back baby, yeah yeah,

So come back baby, yeah yeah,
Let's talk it over one more time.

Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.
And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.
And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
'Cause the circus left town.
Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.
Chorus
Chorus
The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town.
Catch me if you can; I won't be easy to find.
I got a woman at home that's driving me out of my mind.
Catch me if you can; it won't be easy to do.
And I'm warning you brother I won't be leaving no clues.
[Chorus:]
Catch me if you can; I won't be leaving no scent.
I've been running the wrong way, I think it's time that I went.
Believe me, I'm a man; I ain't easy to tend.
And I'm moving on out, so catch me if you can.
There's no use bothering with the lost and found.
You'd better find a shovel, 'cause I've gone to ground.
Little girl never did pay me no mind.
I guess I'll have to go and leave her behind. So...

When the wind blows down this hard,
Many a bond is broken.
See the water lie on the ground
From where the heavens opened.
Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the broken hearted.
So you've gone beyond your means,
Every wound is open,
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
And all your fears unspoken.
Chorus
Sweet revenge is spoken then;
In the twilight it is gone.
To living lies with no escape,
Lord, I would rather be alone.
I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming,
To sing you songs from olden times,
To keep the love light gleaming.
'Cause there's a place where we can go,
Where we will not be parted.
And who alone will enter there?
Only the broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
by Simon Climie & Dennis Morgan
Everything was wonderful when you were in my life.
Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, then we end up in a fight.
Everywhere I look, I see problems, where I never seen before.
The cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don't even fit the door.
The moon don't shine, it's broken down.
The clouds are crying, they're broken down.
The car won't start, it's broken down.
And this shattered heart, it's broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block.
I stopped by the church that I used to go inside but even that door was locked.
So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall.
My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call.
Chorus
Said my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
Chorus
I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, it's broken down.
by Jerry Lynn Williams and Marty Grebb
Well I just don't get it
Can't make the pieces fit
I might just as well forget it
But my heart won't let me quit
You say it's only a part of love
That's right
But I get a little worried sometimes
When I start to lose
Tired of holding it together
When I know I'm going to blow another fuse
I'm at my breaking point
My breaking point
I'm at my breaking point
My breaking point
Well you're never gonna get it
If you don't get up and try
Try and spread those wings around me
Honey let me see you fly
You say it's only a part of love
That's right
But I get a little worried sometimes
When I start to lose
Tired of holding it together
When I know I'm going to blow another fuse
Chorus
Maybe someday you'll recover
I can see it in your eyes
One more thing that you'll discover
That you'll finally realize
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I can't get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
You hear what I say?
Gonna love you anyway.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I went to an all-night get together
And everyone I knew was there.
Had the love that would last forever.
Everywhere I looked, I saw you standing there.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I can't get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
I said get up right now, oh oh.
I said get up right now.
Feel so bad this morning; got a terrible headache in my head.
Do me a favor, baby, do me a favor please.
Please get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up, get up; get your man a big big bottle of red wine.

Born under a bad sign.
I’ve been down since I began to crawl.
If it wasn’t for bad luck,
I wouldn’t have no luck at all.
Bad luck and trouble’s my only friend.
I’ve been down ever since I was ten.
Chorus
You know, wine and women is all I crave.
A big bad woman’s gonna carry me to my grave.
Chorus

Born under a bad sign.

Born under a bad sign.

Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll.
Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul.
There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.
I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know:
I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow.
Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.
First Verse
Talking to you, now.
The boogie's gonna pull me through.
Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Had the blues so bad, blues followed me all day long.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
My mind is rambling like a wild geese out in the west.
Well, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
Yes, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
I love that woman better than anyone I've ever seen.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues won't you please leave me alone.
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes.
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes.
It was a miserable feeling, now babe, a feeling I do despise.
I have to leave, leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong.
I have to leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling and break up my happy home.
I have to leave, leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling because you know you done me wrong.
Well now goodbye, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day.
Well now goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day.
You can go ahead now little darling, 'cause I want you to have your way.
By ginger baker
Don’t take the wrong direction passing through
Instead of deep reflection of what’s true,
For it’s a combination of judgments made by you
That cause a deep dejection all the way through.
No relaxation, no conversation, no variation
In a very dark blue, blue condition.
Early rising every day.
You must be enterprising in your way,
For you will hear no laughter, nor see the sun;
Life would be one disaster all the way through.
Chorus

Chorus
by Eric Clapton
Where is the sun,
The sun that used to shine on me?
Where has it gone
Or is it just a memory?
I looked through the window,
Staring at the sky,
Waiting for a moment
That always passed me by.
Black summer rain,
Black summer rain,
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl.
Where is the love,
The love I need to set me free?
And how can I escape
This gloom that is swallowing me?
Chorus
Chorus
[Chorus:]
The dogs are howling at the midnight moon.
I'm on my way to where the black rose blooms.
The mountain's high, the night is cold.
I feel the sunshine; a black rose grows.
Together again, we're as common as sin, they say,
We just walk around the stones they throw.
Night after night, we steal away to where
Love don't see no colors in the shadows,
Love don't see no colors in the shadows.
Wind in the willows, wild and warm,
Just like the woman lying here in my arms.
The water's deep, cold and still.
I love the feeling that black rose gives.
[Chorus 2x]
Love don't see no colors in the shadows.
Life is what you make it,
That's what the people say.
And if I can't make it through tomorrow,
I'd better make it through today.
I have had my share of troubles;
It's nothing new to me.
When I look around me,
All I see is misery.
Life is what you make it,
At least that's what the people say.
And if we can't make it through tomorrow
We'd better make it through today, through today.
Through today.

When the world has seen the light
At the beginning of the day,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
When the morning comes too soon
And I am still without your love,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Whatever happened to the girls I used to know?
Whatever happened to the places that we'd go?
When we were running in and out of time,
But all the time we still believed in life.
We were running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe in life.
Running in and out of time,
But still believed in life.
And when the day is almost done
And there is nothing left to say,
You will let me call your name,
'Cause I love you more than light,
And it will always be this way
As long as I believe,
As long as you believe,
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
As long as I believe that you believe, then I'll believe, I'll believe in life.
Believe in life.
I believe in life.
I believe in life.

I've told you once, now you should know
The reason that I'm coming down.
There ain't no time to repeat again;
Just need to bring it around.
We had a beautiful thing going,
You couldn't see things my way.
We had a beautiful thing going,
Something just got in our way.
And I told you once that it was rough.
I looked on you as my friend,
Because that did not seem to be good enough,
And now it's time to begin.
We've got a beautiful thing going,
I hope that's the way it will stay.
We've got a beautiful thing going,
Nothing can stand in our way.
Fourth Verse
by Eric Clapton and George Harrison
Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.
I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.
I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.
Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mabel.
Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.
Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.
by Robert Cray and Mike Vannice
You use me to get you anything you wanted.
Oh, but I'm a changed man now, baby,
And your other friend can get you what you want now.
If I go through those same things again,
I'll be worse off than I started.
Girl, you're such a bad influence
And you've got ways to make me do what you want.
Girl, you're such a bad influence;
I've got to stay away.
I've been hurt in all of the worst kind of ways,
And it's you pretty baby,
I've just got to stay away from.
I won't go through those same things again;
I'm so glad that we parted.
Chorus
Somebody please, you've got to help me break away.
You know I don't like this lonely feeling.
It wasn't meant to be this way.
I won't go through those same things again;
I'm so glad we parted.
Chorus
You're such a bad influence;
And I have got to stay away.
You're such a bad influence;
I've got to stay away from you, baby.
I've got to stay away.

Let’s go down to where it’s clean
To see the time that might have been.
The tides have carried off the beach.
As you said,
The sun is out of reach.
Let’s go back to where it’s clean
To see what year it might have been.
The roads have carried off the smiles.
As you said,
To judge them at the trials.
Let’s go back to now that’s bad
To see the time we might have had.
The rails have carried off the trains.
As you said,
I’ll never come again, again, again, again.
God's got a plan, he's making it clear
Sweet little love song in your ear
Like hearts made of diamond, love will prevail
Put a little wind in your sail
I'd do anything, anything you can dream of
I'd do anything, anything for your love
For your love
For your love
Listen now baby, I'm gonna tell you true
Just how much that I love you
I got a sweet feelin' I know is real
This kind of love you can't conceal
I'd do anything, anything you can dream of
I'd do anything, anything for your love
For your love
For your love
I'd do anything, anything you can dream of
I'd do anything, anything for your love
For your love
For your love

Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
An auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice.
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer
While the beggars stain the pavements with flourescent Christmas cheer
And the Bentley-driving guru is putting up his price.
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
And you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lies.
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo
You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too
And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice.
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
Another man done gone.
Another man done gone.
Another man done gone, another man done gone, another man done gone.
On the country farm.
He's on the country farm, on the country farm, he's on the country farm.
Another man done gone.
Another man done gone, another man done gone, another man done gone.
I don't know his name.
Didn't know his name, I didn't know his name, I didn't know his name.

I don't want to be the one to say I'm sorry.
I don't want to be the one to take the blame.
I don't want to be the one to throw it over.
I don't want to be the one to feel ashamed.
I don't want to be the one who thinks of nothing.
I don't want to be the one to tell you what you have seen.
After all this time, well I thought that you were mine.
I just want to be the one who would share this dream.
All our past times should be forgotten.
All our past times should be erased.
I don't care how much it costs;
'Cause I don't count the loss
As long as I can see your face again.
You don't have to tell me when you're leaving,
If it's half past one, if it's maybe four.
It makes no difference where you think you're going,
But please remember not to slam the door.
Chorus
Yes, I don't care how much it costs;
You know I don't count the loss
As long as I can see your face again.

There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And don't care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I go to church on Sunday
And I shimmy down on Monday,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
And if my friend ain't got no money
And I say, "All right, take all of mine honey,"
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I know that she won't call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It ain't nobody's business if I do, Lord no.
Well, it ain't nobody's business if I do.
(by St. Louis Jimmy)

But you get lost inside your tears,
And there is nothing I can do,
'Cause I get lost inside my fear
That I am nothing without you.
You're angry.
Why shouldn't you be angry?
With what we've been through,
Well I get angry too.
Chorus
'Cause I am nothing without you.
Why should we have taken so long
To be looking inside of our mind?
Everything we tried went wrong.
Are we worried 'bout what we might find?
I'm sorry,

If I hurt you,
You know it hurts me too.

I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid,
I blew it all at the penny arcade,
A hundred dollars on a cupid doll,
No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl,
And I teetered the way to the promised land,
Every woman, child and man,
Get your caddilac and a great big diamond ring,
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
He's on a mission of mercy, to the new fronteir,
He's gonna take us all outta' here,
Up to that mansion, on a hill,
Where you can get your prescription pill
And I teetered the way to the promised land,
Everybody clap your hands,
And don't you dirts love the way that he sings?
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
You're riding with the king!
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
A tuxedo and a shining green burning five,
You can see it in his face, the blues is alive,
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings,
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old,
With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold.
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high,
And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die.
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
Don't you know you're riding with the king?
(You're riding with me baby)
(You got good hands)
(Yes, you're riding with the king)
(I wanted to say B.B. King, but you know who the king is)
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet are California bound
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns
Well we ride them old freight trains rent them automobiles
For we ride them old freight trains and rent them automobiles
Cause that good looking woman is tired of these old Georgia hills
And that lonesome old highway seems to be our way no doubt
And that lonesome old highway seems to be the way no doubt
Cause that good looking woman and me, we just hanging out
Trains and airplanes is all we do, I'm running half the time just like she wants me to
Makes me no difference to me when all is said and done, headed west toward the setting sun
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Well my heads in Georgia but my feet is California bound
Cause that good looking I got wants to leave these Georgia towns
Cause that good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns
Good looking woman I got wants to leave these Georgia towns

To make you dream of me at night.

You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips
And you see a girl's brown body dancing through the turquoise
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses, how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers
It's gettin' near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
Give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darlin' soon
I'll be with you when the stars start fallin'
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm goin'
In the sunshine of your love
I'm with you my love
The light shining through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darlin' now
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm goin'
In the sunshine of your love
I'm with you my love
The light shining through on you
Yes, I'm with you my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darlin' now
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
They call it stormy Monday
Yes but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday
Yes but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's even worse
Thursday's awful sad
The eagle flies on Friday
Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday
But Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church
Where I kneel down and pray
And I say, "Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Just trying to find my baby
Won't you please send her on back to me?"
The eagle flies on Friday
On Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday
On Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church
Where I kneel down, Lord and I pray
Then I say, "Lord have mercy
Won't you please have mercy on me?
Lord, oh Lord have mercy, yeah
Won't you please, please have mercy on me
I'm just a lookin' for my sweet babe
So won't you please send him home
When a girl reach the age of eighteen
She begins to think she's grown
That's the kind of little girl
You can never find at home
Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Do you want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?
One drink of wine
And two drinks of gin
A pretty, young girl put me
In the shape I'm in
Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Lord, you want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?
I pass by the juke joint
I peek through the door
She's doing the boogie-woogie
In the middle of the floor
Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Do you really want to see me hug my pillow
Where my baby used to lay?
See, when a girl reach the age of eighteen
She begins to think she's grown
And that's the kind of little girl
You will never find at home
Come and see me early in the morning
Just about the break of day
Do you want to see me hug my pillow
She is cryin', she is cryin'
She's been cryin' all night long
She's been cryin' for her one and only son
She will weep, she will moan
She will moan the night away
She will weep and moan until the break of day
I had called for the doctor
But the doctor can't be found
So what could I do but sit and look around?
Oh Lord, won't you hear?
Won't you hear me when I pray?
Please send this girl her one and only son
She is cryin', she is cryin'
She is cryin' the whole night long
If I can reach the stars
Pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams
And I can change the world
I will be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
And if I could be king
Even for a day
I'd take you as my queen
I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made
Till then I'd be a fool
Wishing for the day
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
I could change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, oh no
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, oh no
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, oh no
Oh no, and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
Still I can't find my way home
No I can't find my way home
No I can't find my way home
Eric Clapton & Paul McCartney
Look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know why someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
Look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know why you were inverted
No-one alerted you
Look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
Still my guitar gently weeps
While my guitar gently weeps
Still my guitar gently weeps
While my guitar gently weeps
Still my guitar gently weeps
While my guitar gently weeps

Well, I left Oklahoma
Driving in my Pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to Arizona,
Maybe on to California
Where people all look so fine.
My mama says I'm crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But I'm gonna show'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool and
I don't need no more school
I'm livin' on tulsa time.
Living on Tulsa Time.
Living on Tulsa Time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know that I been through it.
Living on Tulsa Time.
So there I was in Hollywood,
Thinking I was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
Ain't nobody sing my songs;
My mama says my baby's doing fine.
So then I started drinkin',
Then I started thinkin'
Amd I really had a flash this time.
And I had no business leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see I'm on Tulsa time.
Chorus
Tell me who's been fooling you?
Tell the truth
Now who's been fooling who?
There you sit there, looking so cool
While the whole show is passing you by
You better come to terms with your fellow men soon, 'cause
The whole world is shaking now, I can feel it
A new dawn is breaking now, I can see it
Tell the truth
Tell me who's been fooling you
Tell the truth
Now who's been fooling who?
It doesn't matter who you are
Or where you're gonna be
Open your eyes and look into your heart
The whole world is shaking now, I can feel it
A new dawn is breaking now, I can see it
See it, yeah, I can see it
See it, yeah, I can see it

A new dawn is breaking now, I can see it?
See it, yeah, I can see it
See it, yeah, I can see it

It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her as I turn out the light
I say, "My darling, you are wonderful tonight
Could fill spoons full of diamonds
Could fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul
Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoon
Could fill spoons full of coffee
Could fill spoons full of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Is that enough for me?
Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fightin' about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, yeah
Could fill spoons full of water
Save them from the desert sands
But a little spoon of [Incomprehensible]

Everything's a-fightin' about it
Everything's a-cryin' about it
Everything's a, everything's a dyin' about it
Everything's a-cryin' about it
Everything's a-lyin' about it

Spoonful, spoonful, yeah
Alright, yeah, dyin' about it
Alright, just cryin' about it

Somethin's happenin', somethin's goin' on
Somethin's happenin', somethin' so strong
Somethin's happenin', somethin' all over the world
Whoa
Spirit's movin' and it's movin' fast
You better get aboard and don't be last
Somethin's happenin', somethin' all over the world
Whoa
My life has been a series of endless changes
A constant struggle to be free
(Free)
One thing I know for sure now Baby
It's me for you and you for me
Somethin's happenin', somethin's goin' on
Somethin's happenin', somethin' so strong
Somethin's happenin', somethin' all over the world

She's something special, I can't explain it
But when she's near me, I can't contain it
And just one look at her face is good enough for me
No way of knowing which way I'm going
But I can't stop it, it keeps on growing
And just one look at her face is good enough for me
She ain't too pretty, she ain't too tall
In fact she ain't too much of anything at all
I don't care what the people say
They're going to find out some sweet day
She is precious, she is charming
She is so innocent it's really disarming
And just one look at her face is good enough for me
She ain't too pretty, she ain't too tall
In fact she ain't too much of anything at all
I don't care what the people say
They're going to find out some sweet day
She is precious, she is charming
She is so innocent it's really disarming
And just one look at her face is good enough for me
Uhh ha, Is good enough for me
You speak to me in sign language
As I'm eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three
But I can't respond to your sign language
You're taking advantage, bringing me down
Can't you make any sound?
It was there by the bakery, surrounded by fakery
This is my story, still I'm still there
Does she know I still care?
Link Wray was playing on a jukebox, I was paying
For the words I was saying, so misunderstood
He didn't do me no good
You speak to me in sign language
As I'm eating a sandwich in a small cafe
At a quarter to three
But I can't respond to your sign language
You're taking advantage, bringing me down
shes waiting,
for another love,
shes waiting,
for another love,
shes been waiting for another love,
someone that she can show into her heart,
and when she finally found a stronger love,
your whole worlds gunna fall apart,
shes waiting,
for another love,
shes waiting,
for another love,
you've been abusing her for far too long,
Think your a king and she's your pawn
get ready now cause pretty soon,
she'll be gone and you'll be on your own,
shes waiting,
for another love,
shes waiting,
for another love,
SOLO
I see the hunger burning in her eyes,
any fool can see theres something worng,
you keep pretending nothing cares,
but I will hear you sing a different song,
shes waiting,
for another love,
shes waiting,
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day,
She can make me feel all right and make it all okay.
She can make me feel so good by looking in my eye.
She can take me to the edge, take me to the sky.
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone.
I'm telling you she's gone.
She put her hands in my hair, put her kiss on my face.
She puts my heart in my mouth, my soul in its place.
Who could love me like she do? Who could even start to try?
She can love me more than you; I never wonder why.
Chorus
Chorus
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple on a stream,
I see her float across my mind like a picture in a dream.
And the more that I know, seems the more that I care.
Give the world and all I own just to know that she's still there.
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple in a stream,
But you're floating on my mind.
Chorus

Over The Rainbow
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star and
Wake up where the clouds are far behine me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh, why can't I?
Someday I'll wish upon a star and
Wake up where the clouds are far behine me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh, why can't I?
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebird fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can I?
You walk into the room, you know what's on my mind
You know just how to reach me, baby, without even trying
Don't need no one to tell me, this is leading to
'Cause something deep inside of me is dragging me to you
So roll the dice, baby, see what the future brings
Sure feel like a right time, you to spread your wings
Ain't no one but you, baby, ever stopped me in my tracks
Once this thing gets rolling darling, well there ain't no turning back
Second nature
To look at what we've found
Second nature
You know we're heaven bound
No need to think about it
You know we're safe and sound
Second nature
For you to come around
So take me to your heart baby, and lead me to your door
Take me in your arms baby, never leave me any more
Ain't no one like you baby, to stop me in my tracks
All I know for this old heart, well I ain't no turning back
Second nature
(Nature, nature)
They look at what we've found
The second nature

They know we're heaven bound
No need to think about it

How many times must we tell the tale?
How many times must we fall?
Living in lost memory
You just recalled
Working on the sound of the band
Trying to get the music right
Two go out working
Three stay home at night
That's when she said she was pretending
It's like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
Satisfied but lost in love
Situations change
You're never who you used to think you are
How strange?
That's when she said she was pretending
Like she knew the plan
That's when I knew she was pretending
Pretending to understand
Pretending, pretending
Pretending, pretending
I get lost in alibis
Sadness can't prevail
Everybody knows
Strong love can't fail
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Don't be pretending about how you feel
Don't be pretending that your love is real
Pretending, pretending
I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before
I know that I don't have much to give
But I can open any door
Everybody knows the secret
Everybody knows the score
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord
I have finally found a place to live
Just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give
But soon I'll open any door
Everybody knows the secret
Everybody knows the score
I have finally found a place to live
In the presence of the Lord
In the presence of the Lord
I have finally found a way to live
Just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give
But I can open any door
Everybody knows the secret
I said everybody knows the score
I have finally found a way to live
In the color of the Lord
In the color of the Lord
Saying I love you is not the words
I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me, cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands
And touch me, hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me, cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
More than words
More than words
Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame
I've had nothing but the blues
Since I heard your name
No more, no more blues today
No more, no more blues today
I've been fond of you baby
Had me crying everyday
I've been waiting, waiting so long for you
Waiting, waiting so long for you
It was good news sometimes
Sometimes, it was bad news
Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame
I've had nothing but the blues
Since I heard your name
I've been crying, crying, crying all night long
Crying, crying all night long
I had nothing but the blues
Since you came along
Low down, low down dirty shame
By jimi hendrix
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running 'round.
Butterflies and zebras, fairy tales,
That's all she ever thinks about.
When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
Said, "it's all right, take anything you want,
Anything you want, anything."
First verse
Second verse
What will you do when you get lonely
No one is waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging darlin' please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Tried to give you consolation
Your old man let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
You turned my whole world upside down
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging darlin' please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Or tell me all my love's in vain
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging darlin' please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Layla, you got me on my knees
Layla, I'm begging darlin' please
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Wanna go out, baby, too late at night
Lawdy Mama, no need to worry
Wanna go out, baby, too late at night
I got a real funny feeling, don't wanna treat your Daddy right
Long legged woman, come and hold my hand
Lawdy Mama, no need to worry
Long legged woman, come and hold my hand
I got a real funny feeling, you wanna love some other man
Leavin' in the morning, your cryin' won't make me stay
Lawdy Mama, no need to worry
Leavin' in the mornin' baby, your cryin' won't make me stay
The more you cry baby the further gonna drive your Daddy away
Leavin' in the morning, your cryin' won't make me stay
Lawdy Mama, no need to worry
Leavin' in the mornin' baby, your cryin' won't make me stay
It's in the way that you use it
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
And if you lie you will lose it
Feelings will show
So don't you ever abuse it
Don't let it go
Nobody's right till somebody's wrong
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong
No one gets lucky till luck comes along
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone
It's in the way that you use it
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
But boy don't you know
It's in the way that you use it
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
And boy don't you know
And if you lie you will lose it
Feelings will show
So don't you ever abuse it
Don't let it go
I've seen dark skies never like this
Walked on some thin ice never like this
I've told you white lies never like this
Looked into true eyes never like this
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
So don't you ever abuse it
I've got a feeling
we would get serious girl.
'Cause right at this moment
I could promise you the world.
Before we get crazy
before we explode
There's something 'bout me
baby
You got to know
you got to know.
I get off on fifty seven chevies
I get off on a screamin' guitar
Like the way it gets me
every time it hits me.
I've got a rock 'n' roll
I've got a rock 'n' roll heart.
Feels like we're falling
into the arms of the night
So if you're not ready
don't be holding me so tight
Guess there's nothing left
for me to explain
Here's what you're gettin'
and I don't wnna change
ain't gonna change.
I get off on ...
Don't need no glitter
no Hollywood;
All you got to do is lay down
lay it down good.
I get off on ...
I got
I got a rock'n'roll heart.
I got
I got a rock'n'roll heart.
I got
I got a rock'n'roll heart.
I got
Riff
I shot the Sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the Sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy
All around in my hometown, they're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
for the killing of a deputy
for the life of a deputy, but I say:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Sheriff John Brown always hated me, for what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said: "Kill it before it grows!"
He said: "Kill it before it grows!" But I say:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Freedom came my way one day, and I started out of town
All of a sudden, I see sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot him down, but I say:
Orgel-Solo / Break 3 Takte
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Reflexes got the better of me, and what is to be must be
Every day, the bucket goes to the well
But one day the bottom will drop out
Yes one day the bottom will drop out, but I say:
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the Sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
Instr.
Last night as I stepped into the stage lights
I heard the people cry when they saw my face
There's nothin' like our hearts beatin' in time
The crowd may inspire, you give me my strength
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
I've been slipping into desperation
You're the only salvation that the Lord designed
Your absence is controlling my defenses
My life is senseless without you by my side
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
Hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
Lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I need to hold you for a while
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy
Every 'no' becomes the 'maybe', never takes too long
Missing you, I don't know what I'm gonna do
You don't know what I'm going through, everything seems wrong
Oh, hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, for your sweet smile
How much do I love you,I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean,High as the Sky
How many times a day, do I think of you
How many roses sprinkled with dew
How far would I travel, to get where you are
How far is the journey, from here to the stars
And if I ever lose you, how much would I cry
How deep is the ocean,How high as the Sky
How many times a day, do I think of you
How many roses sprinkled with dew
How far would I travel, to be where you are
How far is the journey, from here to the stars
And if I ever lose you, how much would I cry
How deep is the ocean, How high is the Sky
How high is the Sky
And if I ever lose you, how much would I cry
How deep is the ocean,How high as the Sky
It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
He gave to you a golden ring
It made you happy, it made you sing
And I played for you on my guitar
It didn't last long, it didn't go far
And though the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
You came around after a while
Everyone said that I made you smile
It all went well, and suddenly then
You heard that he would marry you again
And though the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
Well, I know that I have been here before
I've trod on your wings, I've opened the door
If I gave to you a golden ring
Would I make you happy, would I make you sing?
Though the times have changed
They're rearranged
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
Though the times have changed
They're rearranged
From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying
From four until late I was wringing my hands and crying
I believe to my soul that your daddy's Gulfport bound
From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown
From four until late, she made me a no good barroom clown
You know she won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down
A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers
A woman is like a dresser, some man always running through its drawers
She cause so many men to wear an apron overall
When I leave this town I will bid you fare farewell
When I leave this town I will bid you fare farewell
Well I never will forget that floatin' bridge
Lord I never will forget that floatin' bridge
Lord I never will forget that floatin' bridge
They tell me five minutes time underwater I was hid
I was going down and I throwed up my hands
As I was going down I throwed up my hands
As I was going down I throwed up my hands
Saying, "Please Lord take me on dry land"
Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed
I couldn't hear nothing but muddy waters running 'round my head
Oh my mother often told me, "Quit playin' a bum"
My mother always told me, "Quit playin' a bum"
Lord, my mother always told me, "Son, quit playin' a bum
Go out somewhere and make a crumb"
All the people on the bridge was screamin' and cryin'
Well all the people on the bridge was screamin' and cryin'
All the people on the bridge stood screamin' and cryin'
I thought that you'd be loving me
I thought you were the one who'll stay forever
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone
'Cause you were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you, who made the tears fall down
It was you, who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue, ohh
I never should've trusted you
I thought that I'd be all you need
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven
And now, my heaven's gone away
And I'm out in the cold
You had me believing
You had me believing in a lie
Guess I couldn't see it
I guess I couldn't see it 'till I saw goodbye
It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you, who made the tears fall down
It was you, who broke my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue, ohh
I never should've trusted you
You were only playing
You were only playing with my heart
I was never waiting
I was never waiting for the tears to start
It was you
Who put the clouds around me
It was you, it was you
It was you, who put those clouds around me
It was you, who made the tears fall down
Only you, could break my heart in pieces
It was you, it was you
Who made my blue eyes blue, ohh
I never should've trusted you
When the sun rose this morning
I didn't have my baby by my side
When the sun rose this morning
I didn't have my baby by my side
I don't know where she was
I know she's out with some another guy
Don't the sun look lonesome
Shadin' down behind the trees?
Don't the sun look lonesome
Shadin' down behind the trees?
But don't your house look lonesome
When your baby's packed to leave?
Blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back to me
Blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back to me
Well you know if I don't soon find her, I will be in misery
Goodbye baby that is all I have left to say
Ohh, goodbye baby, that is all I have left to say
But you have lost your good thing
Watch out now
Take care beware of thoughts that linger
Winding 'round inside your head
And the pain that often lingers
In the dead of night
In the dead of night
Beware of darkness
Watch out now
Take care beware of greedy leaders
Who take you where you should not go
While weeping at the cedars
In the dead of night
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
It can kill you, it can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for
Watch out now
Take care beware of soft shift shufflers
They're dancin' down the sidewalk
While each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly in the dead of night
Beware of darkness, it can kill you
Beware of darkness, it can cut you down
Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don’t want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I’d gladly do it because
I don’t want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don’t want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.
It’s all wrong, but it’s all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won’t find a better loser.
Chorus
Chorus
Bell bottom blues, don’t say goodbye.
I’m sure we’re gonna meet again,
And if we do, don’t you be surprised
If you find me with another lover.
Chorus
I don’t want to fade away.
Give me one more day please.
I don’t want to fade away.
All along, had to talk about it
Like a two-edged sword, he touched you and it stabs me
All along, knew you were a phony girl
Sit behind the mask where you control your world
Yesterday he had you in his arms
When I'm holding you, I feel his bitter charms
I can't judge what you do to me
Camouflage the truth, indulge your fantasy
Who do you love?
Is it me now, is it him babe? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know
There is nothing in your eyes that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright, you're just studying my mind
There is nothing in your eyes that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright, you're just studying my mind
Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well the party's over so now take off your face
You say you love, but it's hard to see
When you're in his arms, throwing rocks at me
Who do you love?
Is it me now, is it him babe? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know
There is nothing in your eyes that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright, you're just studying my mind
There is nothing in your eyes that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright, you're just studying my mind
I walk around suffering in my doom
When I come to you, you're sitting in your room
The truth is news, I have longed to trace
So take off the mask so I can see your face
Who do you love?
Is it me baby, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me babe, is it him baby? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me now, is it him baby? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me baby, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me baby, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me baby, is it him? I want to know
Who do you love?
Why can't it stay like this forever?
Why does it always have to change?
Every time you think you've paid the price
Seems you've always got to pay it twice
Every time you think you're near the end
You turn around and find another ticket
Oh my love, time is runnin' out
Oh my love, time is runnin' out
Why must we wait until tomorrow
When we already know the score?
Every time you think you've paid the price
Seems you've always got to pay it twice
Every time you think you've got it made
Seems you're lonely lying in the shade
Every time you think you've run the course
Seems you've got to ride another horse
Every time you think you're near the end
You turn around and find another ticket
Oh my love, time is runnin' out
Oh my love, time is runnin' out
Every time you think you've paid the price
Seems you've always got to pay it twice
Every time you think you've got it made
Seems you're lonely lying in the shade
Every time you think you've run the course
Seems you've got to ride another horse
Every time you think you're near the end
You turn around and find another ticket
Oh my love, time is runnin' out
Oh my love, time is runnin' out
After midnight we gonna let it all hang down
After midnight we gonna chug-a-lug and chow
We gonna stimulate some action
We gonna get some satisfaction
We gonna find out what it is all about
What it is all about, what it is all about
After midnight we gonna let it all hang down
After midnight, after midnight
