I can hear - voices in the water
Coming up like - smoke brings the wind
I have to take some time - to relocate that house of mine
I think I must of lost it in the river
They see things so different
To green eyes they give nothing away
Do you think now at last
You can tell me
No you won't - give it away
Crush snow on my face
Feels like burning
And the birds blackface singing in the tree
If I got myself a gun
Then I could shoot down every one
Maybe I've just invented some religion
I saw father dancing with his daughter
And the music singing softly on the breeze
I can't see an end - salvation anywhere
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
Think I'll wait here till the cows come down the river
you've heard all this before
Already I know
Good friends come out now
The party is about to begin
We can wrestle down to the floor
Throw empty bottles out the door
They'll smash and we will laugh
What a guess we have had
The light from the window
Look as of dancing shadows
Music from the back room
Is an old song we all know
Through shining eyes and smiling faces
We all sing along
(It's) been so long since I've seen you
My good friends
This memory daydream
Is good enough for me
If you were here today
We'd be getting into frisky business
The moon is not only beautiful
It is so far away
The moon is not only ice cold
It is here to stay
When I lay me down will you still be around?
When they put me six feet underground
Will the big bad beautiful you be around?
Everyone says they know you
Better than you know who
Everyone says they own you
More than you do
When I lay me down will you still be around?
When they put you six feet underground
Will the big bad beautiful moon be around?
'Cuz the moon is not only beautiful
It is so far away
The moon is not only ice cold
It is here to stay
Everyone says they know you
Better than you know who
Everyone says they own you
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned deep to dust
Melt me down into big black armor
Leave no trace of grace just in your honor
Lower me down to culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I've been sleeping
Lower me down, pin me in
Secure the grounds for the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling
Lower me down, pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I've been sleeping for the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
You wash them clothes
Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way
You wash them clothes
Cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day
I know everybody
Has a little hard luck sometimes
I know lately, I've been havin' mine
We used to live
In a fleabag apartment
You know the kind
And he come home
And he'd say to me
"We gotta leave, leave, leave the city"
You wash them clothes
Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way
You wash them clothes
Cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day
I know everybody
Has a little hard luck sometimes
Here comes, here comes, here comes the Sun
It's hot, it's hot, and close to us
Can guess, yes it is, here's the day
We're free with me, we can finally run
If you catch a swing we can save the Sun
You come too close, and all is burning
Here it comes, here it comes, it's still warm
Here it comes, here it comes, we're all so tired of waiting
You said, you said who you are
(You said, you said)
I wanna hear the answer to every question
It's not that I never wanted, I just never knew
If you can, if you could lend you hand
This is the day people like we've been waiting for
O-oh-oh waiting for
O-oh-oh waiting for
O-oh-oh
So tired of waiting
So tired of waiting
O-oh-oh
O-oh-oh
O-oh-oh
Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know, he don't talk
And the ladies treat him kindly
And furnish him with tape
But deep inside his heart
I know he can't escape
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells
Speaking to some French girl
Who says she knows him well
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that
But then again there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette"
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked
But me, I expected it to happen
I knew he'd lost control
Rebuilt a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
The senator came down here
Showing everyone his gun
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son
An' me, I nearly got busted
An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck?
Oh, mama
Is this really the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now, the T-Preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest
But he cursed me when I proved it to him
Then I whispered and said "Not even you can hide
You see, you're just like me
I hope you're satisfied"
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now, the Rainman gave me two cures
Then he said, "Jump right in"
The one was Texas medicine
The other was just railroad gin
An' like a fool I mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind
An' now people just get uglier
An' I have no sense of time
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon
Where he can watch her waltz for free
'Neath her Panamanian moon
An' he say, "Aw, come on now
You know you know about my debutante"
An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you really want"
Oh, mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now, the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb
They all fall there so perfectly
It all seems so well timed
An' here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice
Oh, mama
Is this really the end?
To be stuck inside of mobile
I'm gonna steal a silver stallion
With not a mark upon his silky hide
And teach him he can trust me like a sister
One day we'll saddle up and ride
And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs
And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the man, the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again
And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds
With the Devil close behind
I've got your picture that you gave to me
And its signed with love just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got your picture, she's got you
I've got the records that we used to share
And they still sound the same as when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records, she's got you
I've got your memory or has it got me
I really don't know
But i know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things, she's got you
I've got your memory, or has it got me
I really don't know but I know it won't let me be
I've got your class ring that proved you cared
And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Candy man
Two old maids sittin' in the sand
One were a she
The other were a man
Salty dog, candy man
Worst day I ever had in my life
My best friend caught him kissin' his wife
Salty dog, candy man
Salty dog, salty dog
I don't wanna be your Annie doll
Honey let me be your salty dog
Went to the doctor
I said doctor please
What do you do when your true love leaves
Said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
So I went to the whipper whale
I said killer whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
She said I only have one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til he comes back to me
I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Went to my papa
I said papa, please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said the hardest thing in the world to do
Is to find somebody who believes in you
I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
So I went to the whale
I said killer whale please
What do you do when your true love leaves
He said I only have bout one trick up my sleeve
I sing it over and over til she comes back to me
I make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Make a sad, make a sad
Make a sad, sad song
Went to my mama
I said mama, please
What do you do when your true love leaves
She said the hardest thing in the world to do
It's not your face or the color of your hair
Or the sound of your voice my dear that's got me dragged in here
It's the ice in the seam, the scheme of you
You're supposed to have the answer
You're supposed to have living proof
Yes, I was jealous because you are sworn
How could you come undone to a word so strong
My beating heart the anchor to a ship so warm
You're supposed to have the answer
You're supposed to have living proof
Well, I am your answer, I am living
Will you terrorize this with your perfect lips
I watch you eat and feed this mess to the running wind
But I know you from before and after until then
Do you have your answer?
Do you have living proof?
Well, I am your answer, I am living
You're supposed to have an answer
You're supposed to have living proof
Well, do you have your answer? Do you have your answer?
We've lived in bars and danced on tables
Hotel, streets and ships that sail
We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes in the air
Send in the trumpets, the marching wheelchairs
Open the blankets and give them some air
Swords and arches, bones and cement
The light and the dark of the innocent of men
We know your house so very well
And we will wake you once we've walked up all your stairs
There's nothing like living in a bottle
And nothing like ending it all for the world
We're so glad you will come back
Every living lion will lay in your lap
The kid has a homecoming, the champion, the horse
Who's going to play drums, guitar or organ with chorus
As far as we've walked from both ends of the sand
Never have we caught a glimpse of this man
We know your house so very well
And we will bust down your door if you're not there
We've lived in bars and danced on tables
Hotel, streets and ships that sail
We swim with sharks
And fly with aeroplanes out of here
The winter wind is blowing so strong
My hands have got no gloves
Wish to my sole that I could have
The boy I'm dreaming of
Don't you remember me, babe
I remember you quite well
Caused me to leave all of New York town
With a high sheriff on my tail
A high sheriff on my tail, boys
High sheriff on my trail
All because I've fallen for
A curly headed dark eyed boy
Who's gonna stroke your coal black hair
And your sandy colored skin?
Who's gonna walk you side by side
And tell you everything is alright?
Who's gonna look you straight in the eye
And hold your bad luck hand?
Who's gonna walk you? Who's gonna talk to you?
And who's gonna be your woman?
The winter wind is blowing so strong
My hands have got no gloves
Don't you remember me, babe
If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
I wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it, if I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes?
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you anymore
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life
Needing love more than you'll ever know
If I kissed and touched your hand
Million things, I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades
Oh love, my love for someone else's hand
Needing love more than you'll ever know
You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees with my thanks
And love in my thoughts and wishes to give and to ask
It's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace
With the years doors have been locked and windows closed
And the things I'm sure I knew are no longer due
But I see comfort in my home in my heart
To make a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace and above me
If there is nothing and no one knew I really care
It's just a now, a now I prefer, not the future and not the past
So put the chairs to one side and let us dance
It's a strange kind of peace, it's a kind of peace
It's a strange kind of peace, it's a kind of peace
Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts
And wishes to give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
Out on the corner you look so pale
Your ghost is wandering home
But oh baby, it's alright to fail
Your tongue is twisted
Your teeth are nails
They drove your voice from your throat
But oh baby, it's alright to fail
Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me
Your heart is beating
I hear it pound
If you've got something to say
Oh baby, please don't let me down
Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me
The night is coming
I hear the wail of people crying alone
But oh baby, it's alright to fail
People
All around me
But I don't even
Have a friend
Lord knows
I been trying
And he knows
I just can't win
Everything I do
Yeah
Seems to turn
Out wrong
Sometimes
I wish now
That I never
Been born
Whoa
Nobody
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Baby
You know
I've had my share
Just ain't fair
(Just ain't fair)
Just ain't fair
(Just ain't fair)
Some folks
Got it easy
They live
The life of love
And play
Lord knows
I got
To struggle now
Trying
To make my way
Yeah
I'm walking all day
I'm gonna
Reach the town
I believe
I hope
I can make it yeah
Beacuse my feet
Ain't gonna
Let me stop
Talking about
Jesus
Nobody
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Baby
I've had my share
Just ain't fair
Just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
It just ain't fair
I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I will sleep eternally
And I want no heavy diamonds
And pearls crush my teeth
I just want my sailor
To sail back to me
Captain has a treasure
He says I hold the key
But old mangroves
And sweet winds blow songs
Of you and me
I want to rule the islands
And I want to rule the sea
But if you're not coming back
I've been loving you too long to stop now
There were time and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger, as you become a haven to me
Oh I've been loving you a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
There were times and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger as our affair [affair] grows old
I've been loving you a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
I've been loving you a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no
Don't make me stop now
No baby
I'm down on my knees Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
[Good god of mine]I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I feel like I'mma lose my life for this
I feel like I'mma have to fight for this
I feel motherfuckers they goin' say I'm wrong
I feel you're goin' get buck when you hear my song
I feel you don't even know how I feel
I feel if you hate me you got to get real
I feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
I feel the policeman making me sick
I feel like I could be the president
I feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
I feel you don't even know how I feel
Respect my mind I'm just telling you how I feel
Do you feel like you could lose your life for this
Do you feel like you could fight for this
Do you feel like go to Texas and for me some brick
Do you feel the policeman I'm making you sick
Do you feel like you could be the president
feel like burning up their bodies to leave no evidence
Do you feel like they don't even know how we feel
I feel that they hate us, we got to get real
Anyone can tell you there's no more road to ride
Everyone will tell you there's no place to hide
There's no laws or rules to enchain your life
But the ones who didn't make it, the ones who couldn't take it
So glad they made it out alive
Everyone loves the fun, everyone comes by
In the wind I crunch, I want to die
They can give me pills or let me drink my fill
The heart wants to explode far away where nobody knows
Do you believe she said that?
Do you believe she said that?
I said I hate myself and I want to die
Half of it is innocent, the other half is wise
The whole damn thing makes no sense
I wish I could tell you a lie
Hey, come here let me whisper in your ear
I hate myself and I want to die
Do you believe she said that?
Can you believe she repeated that?
I said, I hate me, myself and I
When you give half of you
I want all of you.
When you give half of you
I want all of you.
When you go back window
You see shadows
When you’re shopping for me
‘Cause when you give half of you
I want all of you.
Sadness is a gentle mind
But a good women has her hands to use
Empty package of chips will tell you
What can be sold market and what can belongs to you
When you give…when you give half of you
( live peel session 2000 )
If i leave here tomorrow
Will you still remember me ?
Cause i'm as free as a bird now

we've reached our end yet were still here...hey hows it going its been
months since ive heard from you
do you still love ME because i still care if only oh if only its just a cliche
lets go lets go far from here
get away from the unending uncertainties
ive loved you so much all these years do you still think of me
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.
Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It iain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
All that is left is an empty shell
Of my heart that is crushed
I don't never wanna see
What my mind has seen when you loved me
Every night
Every night alone with you
Every night alone now
When she sits on your lap try to pretend to laugh
When she does stupid things just like I used to do
Do not hate her, don't you even try
For to leave her is to love her the same as you and I
I, I love you
And I miss you too
I really do love you
And I really miss you too
But I don't know you
And I don't need you
And I don't want you anymore
Every night
Every night alone with you
Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine don't explain
My love, my love, my love don't explain
There is nothing with me not to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours
You know, I hear folks cha-cha-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong right now doesn't matter
You're here with me, sit down, have a seat
It's your time to feel the pain
It's your time to reel, don't explain
Hush now, don't explain
There is nothing with me now to gain
I'm gonna skip [Incomprehensible]

At the dark end
Of the street
That's where
We always meet
Hiding in shadows
Where we don't belong
Living in darkness
To hide our wrong
You and me
At the dark end
Of the street
You and me
I know time is
Gonna take it's toll
We have to pat for
The love that we stole
It's a sin and
We know it's wrong
Oh, but our love
Keeps coming on strong
Steal away to the
Dark end of the street
They're gonna to find us
They're gonna to find us
They're gonna to find us
Lord, someday
You and me at the
Dark end of the street
You and me
And when the
Daylight hours
Roll round
And by chance
We're both downtown
If we should meet
Just walk on by
Oh, darling
Please don't cry
Tonight
We'll meet
At the dark end
Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why
Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down, down
Cherokee, kissing me
Here you go
Say it that she's ill
Here you go
Marriage and kids and
Drug
Addiction
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere
Money always sees
Money always draws
The light
Hope you can see
Through the beggers
In the clear
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost in this
Sore far from home
Far from home
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost
Far from mum
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere X4
Stand on my feet
So I can see yours
Standing on my hands
I found my way home
In the light that I
Feel
I see crucifixes and
Expectancy
And I feel
So safe
Foot by foot
I feel like a
Beat cast-off
I feel so
Ashamed

Make it in the shade
Hey made of shame
Hope you don't hate it
In the shade
Like a ghost
( Hank Williams )
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Someone else stood by your side
She looked so satisfied
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it
I am still in love with you
It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you
Do you remember
Do you remember
That night at context
Making up shit
Like we were animals
We made no sense
No sense
We had no sex
Can you see, can you see, can you see
Can you see, can you see, can you see
The moon is so hollow
What's the use
When I can see right through you
What's the use
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
All the hearts that touch your cheek
How they jump they move they embarrass
They make no sense, no sense, no sense
No sense, we had no sex
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money on whisky and beer
I go to some hollow
And set up my holy holy still
If drinking do not kill me
Then I don't know what will
I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
If women and men would come to follow
To see what I might spend
God bless them handsome men
I wish they was mine
They're breath is as sweet as
The dew on the holy holy vine
You're already in hell, you're already in hell
I wish we could go to hell
When the bottle gets empty
Then life ain't worth the drown
( Velvet Underground, ";Loaded"; LP )
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before
And you'd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better that what came before
And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And i'm not kidding
It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
And everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.
I once was lost but now i'm found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing
Metal heart you're not hiding
Oh I see, sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is over
Will you tell me that you've always been thinking of me
Indirectly you say to me the hand of a night is not a hand for me
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
Oh I still see sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is dragging on
Maybe I will dream that you will tell me
You 've always been thinking of me
Indirectly you say to me
The hand is not a hand for me
Indirectly you say again the hand of
The night is not
A hand for me
That's the most sad i've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad i've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
Come with me
My love to the sea
The sea of love
I wanna tell you
How much
I love you
Do you remember
When we met, that's the day
I knew you were my pet?
I wanna tell you
How much
I love you
Come with me
My love to the sea
The sea of love
I wanna tell you
How much
( Michael Hurley, ";Armchair Boogie"; LP )
I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn
Sometimes
It's like being in chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In chains
When people see me
They scandalize my name
I'm going down
To the devil's daughter
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
One of the devil's daughters
They look at me with scorn
I'll never hear their horn
Sometimes it's like
Being in chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In chains
When people see me
They scandalize my name
I'm going down
To the devil's daughter
I'm gonna drown
In that troubled water
It's coming round my soul
It's way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
( Michael Hurley, ";Armchair Boogie"; LP )
You wash them clothes
Swee dee dee
And hang em on the line
I can see by the way
You wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day
And I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes
And I know lately
I've been havin' mine
We used to live
In a fleabag apartment
You know the kind
And he come home and he'd say to me
";We gotta leave, leave, leave the city";
You wash them clothes
Swee dee dee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way you wash them clothes
Your cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
Unil the break of day
I know everybody
Has a little hard luck
Sometimes
I know lately
( The Rolling Stones, ";Out of Our Heads"; LP )
When I'm drivin' in my car
And the man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Tryin' mess my imagination
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me
When I'm ridin' around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some boy
Baby, baby, baby, come back
'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
When I'm ridin' a round the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin'
And I'm tryin'
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.
All the things that people do in winter,
They all melt down in summer,
Things a mirror should say,
On a very hot day
Been crying in my eyes.
Vacation, vacation, vacation, vacation...
My God what would the community think,
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.
( Moby Grape, ";Moby Grape"; LP )
Would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
Can I pop fireworks on the fourth of every single July
Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time
My sweet time
Well I ain't got no money
I will pay this time
And I ain't got no money
But I will pay you before I die
And would you let me walk down your street
Naked if I want to
Can I pop fireworks on the fourth of every single July
Can I buy an aeroplane while i'm high in all the sky
And I got no mercy
I will pay this time
And I got no mercy
I will pay you before I die
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Whose robes did they trade you,
For such an easy life
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way,
Who, who never told you,
About the perfect life,
Guess it's some kind of,
Some guarantee,
You'll never see.
If I was a photographer,
Picture taking,
Beautiful people,
I guess I'd make a mistake,
'Cause I'd probably take a,
Picture of you.
Who, who never showed you,
About the easy way.
And whose robes did they trade you,
For such a perfect life,
That's such a guarantee.
It leaves some certain sickness,
You'll never know,
Inside of me
That's all I have.
I was dragged out by the shore man,
A very poor man,
A very nice man,
A family man.
My lover drifted down the river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around.
Yesterday on the street,
Someone called out your name,
Someone thought that you were me,
Last night there was a party,
I could not go,
I walked around it,
I thought about it,
All night long,
Today there is a newspaper,
About you and me,
And the day we were married,
The same day.
The same day they fell in love,
The same day they died in love.
I did not want you to die alone,
Rusty river run down,
Run, run as fast as you can, oh run,
Rusty river run ragged,
And drag my lover's self back to me,
I'll meet him there,
Water and air.
Oh to be at the bottom of a river,
Below the dark water,
The devil all around,
The devil all around.
They tell me what they do,
I don't know what they're talking about,
They tell me what they do,
I don't understand what they're talking about,
They're talking about it.
I did not start this conversation,
I don't intend to keep talking about it,
They tell me about it.
Maybe if i pray to the lord above,
I'll get some sleep,
But the lord don't give a shit about me.
They tell me what they do,
How can I help it, how can I help it,
I sure can't shut them up.
( Peter Jeffries )
Thinks of money all the time,
Doing it to annoy her,
She's on his conscience day and night,
So he acts like her employer.
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall,
Keep the bastards guessing.
He likes to take the long way home,
It's another fine decision,
From six to seven he'll be all alone,
So he turns on televison,
Doesn't even notices this is the hours roll by,
It's lost inside the screen,
Watches the film about the evening sky,
It was someone else's dream.
All come peep through the wall,
Keep the bastards guessing,
All come and peep through a hole in the wall,
Just to watch his heart undressing,
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall,
Because you look so impressive.
Mother don't sit,
Mother don't stand,
Mother don't send me.
Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time.
That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile,
Never see his face.
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate.
Mother don't sit,
Mother don't stand,
Mother don't send me.
Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can leave,
Brother is old and grey,
Brother is old and grey,
Brother is old and grey,
And he's only ,
He's only seventeen.
Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate.
Mother don't sit,
Mother don't stand,
Mother please don't send me.
What happened to home,
What happened to home sweet,
What happened to home sweet,
Home.
I still have a flame gun
For the cute cute cute ones
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship
And I know
That in the cold light
There's a very big man
There¹s a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I¹ve got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I¹ve got a son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone
Backhand, reversable roles
I know there's someone
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship
And I know that in the cold light
Is a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, Jesse, I¹ve got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I¹ve got the son in me
And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you
He's related to you, he's related to you
He's related to you, he's nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over you
My intuition said it was
My intuition said it was fair
All you should know there's
Not enough to go around
Here they go again
I can see 'em
As they try they try to take it out on me
Here they go again I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
Guess I go down
Said it wasn't but I guess it was
Say it wasn't but I guess it ends
Here they go again
I can, try, try
My Intuition knocked again fair
All you should know by now is there's
Not enough to go around
But I never go that way
The other half of me said I should
Throw it down the drain
Throw it down the drain
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
I've seen the hordes of war
Looking down that drain
At your heart
Here they go and they try
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be hats on different bodies
After this there will be no more
Beautifull dresses
After this there will be fast cast
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time i was tested
Nobody does better, baby you're the best
After this there will be no one
After this there will be so many good ones
After this there will be less interest
After this there will be no one
No one, no one.
Hey, I run down on my luck
Hey, can I have something from you
It seems I have nothing to give
It seems you have nothing to give
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no more good clean fun
I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time I was tested
Nobody does better, baby you're the best.
( Smog )
When I was seven I told my mother,
To take me to the bay and put me on a ship.
Silver swordfish electric,
I can feel or dream down here.
If the water should cut my mind,
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere.
When I was seven my father said to me,
";But you can't swim.";
And I've never dreamed of the sea again.
If the water should cut my life,
If the water should cut my line,
If the water should cut my mind,
Set me free,
I don't care,
I want to live in a bathysphere.
( Nina Simone, ";Wild is the Wind"; LP )
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
We're creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
Give me more than one grasp
To satisfy this hungryness
We're creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolines
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby please cling to me
We're creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
Love me, love me
Say you do
Let me fly away
With you
( Cat Power, ";What Would the Community Think?"; LP )
In this hole we have fixed
We get further and further and further
Further from the world
We must do
We must do
I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside the wall
Your mind blackened by
All the thought of God
One absence of truth
One horrible thing you saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
Who you thought I was
In this hole we have fixed
We get further and further
Further from the world
We must do
We must do
I saw you outside that wall
The skull outside that wall
Your mind finally free
And all the thoughts you thought
And all the thought of God
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want X3
There's no telling how long
I've checked
I've checked to find
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not for you one
There's no telling how long
Go figure that out
Figure that out
I am not what you want X6
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not what you want X5
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your own head
I'll check
I'll check tonight
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your head
In your head
At least I cannot see them
In your head
I'm not what you want
I'll get
Nothing X3
Tonight
I'm not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
Be here
[Instrumental]
Like I heard her
Backwards saying
I can take one thousand
Showers
And never be clean
Of course she lied away
She is ten times heavier
Stronger, then you found
The grave
Or ever was
He's got it down name
You know what I need
Who doesn't lie?
You know what I mean
If I'm never in
Without you
Like you don't know
I am so, angry
I am so, at ease
I feel just like
Some great big disease
I think you need
Ice water
But the only thing that
You really hate
Is all its emptiness
Ah, you'll swim
And I will drink myself to
Death
If I'm never in
Down with you
I am like powder, I am like relaxation
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
I live in a desert
And I let the wind make love to me
I dig in this ocean and i try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top, fill it to the top, fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon, I am from the moon, I am from the moon,
So they say, so they say, so they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations, great expectations, great expectations
So they say, so they say, so they say
I am the snow, I am the snow, I am the snow
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
And then he came to life and he lived
All others strange because who could of thought
That you meant so much to me
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him
Surprised by the rise in sin you came through over and over again
Lord heaven is the place that you sent him
And you may know him
And you may know him only you
Lord i've never doubted for an instant
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
If we did what you say
And we do it everyday
Lord if heaven is the place he believed in it's all you can do
Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me
Oh Lord surprised by the rise in sin you came through
You came through
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to sayin the same thing
I hope all is well with you
I wish the best for you
When no one is around love will always love you
Learn to say the same thing
What defeats people is a double confession
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess something else
Talk to them they will say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
Never give up no never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
Never give up no never give up
If you're looking for something easy
You might as well give it up
One time they will confess one thing
And the next they will confess the next
Talk to them they will say
Learn to say the same thing
Let us hold fast to saying the same thing
In peking
There is a son who
Is much greater
Than you want to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking
There is a mother
Who is laden
With who she has to be
Carnival arms have
A medical wonder
Who would of guessed that
It was not a real body part
In peking there is someone who
Is who they should exactly be.

Oh come child
In a crossbones style
Oh come child

Unbelievable things
Hater I have your diamonds and still

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I'd wanna go right away
To a January night
I built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become
Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name
I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better
It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell
It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death
it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.
Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Big monster
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
See you looking through me
Like you've unzipped the zipper
You hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Couldn't park that fucking car
Couldn't part from you
Saw the back of your sweet mother's head
Now I know that she thinks I am dead
Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well
Can't you see that we're going to hell
Big monster lover
A bigger pusher over
Stands alone in most walks of life
Walks alone in most walks in life
My friend
Sits at the drum
His magic hand
Feels nothing but
Time
Nothing but time
My old friend
Sits at the drum
His magic mind
Doesn't feel anything
American Flag is behind
If I could stand
To be less difficult
My new friend
Plays drums all the time
Her magic heart
Feels everything
She plays the difficult parts and I play
Difficult
She goes shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop
Shoop eh doop eh doop eh doop
We go shoop shoop eh doop shoop eh doop shoop eh
Doop eh doop
If I could stand
To be less difficult
If you want
Money in your pocket
Top hat on your head
Hot meal on your table
And a blanket
On your bed
Come to New York City
And I'm leaving on a train
If you want stay behind, wait until
I'll come back again
Because all our dreams come true
All our dreams come true
One, two, three, four
Today's grey skies
And tommorow
And tommorow
Empty all (?)
The moon is up before me
The moon is shining bright
I want you to remember
As i disappear tonight
Today's grey skies
And tommorow
And tommorow
I can hear - voices in the water
Coming up like - smoke brings the wind
I have to take some time - to relocate that house of mine
I think i must lost it in the river
They see things so different
To green eyes they give nothing away
Do you think now at last
You can tell me
No you won't - give away
Crush snow on my face
Feels like burning
And birds blackface singing in the tree
If i got myself a gun
Then i could shoot down everyone
Maybe i've just invented some religeon
I saw father dancing with his daughter
And the music singing softly on the breeze
I can't see an end - salvation anywhere
Think i'll wait here if he comes he comes down the river
Think i'll wait here if he comes he comes down the river
I've heard all this before
Already i know
A lost soul - i won't say anymore
Where do the dreams of babies go
'Cause you know they're all so good
And they're also gone so fast
Keep all the guns at home
Help keep your momma safe
'Cause you know she pretty good too
Where is the night so warm and so strange
That no one is afraid
Of themselves
Here, pick up, dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy go lucky fields
Of such predictive thinking
Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Where are the dreams of the babies going
'Cause you know they're all gone fast
Take, take as much as you can
'Cause you know it's going so fast
And you know it's so good
Where are the man that mounted so brave
That they do not explode over everyone
Here, pick up, dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy go lucky fields
Of such predictive thinking
Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Keep your guns at home
Keep your guns at home
Help keep your momma safe
You know she's all good too
She's pretty good
Where are all the dreams of babies going
I am like powder
I am like relaxation
I am the snow
I am the snow
I am the snow
I dig in this ocean
And I try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top X3
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself
Well that may be your best defense
I am from the moon X3
So they say X2
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another
Great expectations X2
So they say X3
I am the snow X2
I happen to be the snow
Oh, mr. Galo, what a good friend
He's always been a name (?)
Oh, mr. Galo, what a good friend
Close by behind (?)
Oh, Chan, what a woman you've become
Can't say i'd ever thought that he'd look you in the eyes
Oh, and what a lover you've become
Can't say that i always thought you were a liar
Oh, you say
What a laugh you had
I cannot say i ever thought i would have had
Anything funny
Oh, and what a charmer you've become mr. Galo (?)
Not full of hate
There's a baby
With an itchy head
Pour water on it
I'll take a knife so I can
Take off (?)
(?)
I'm 65
Nobody in my family knows I'm alive
Hey little girl
I would've cut your head off
Hey little girl
So I can
Pour water on him
So I can take knife
And I will
I'm 99
And I'm impaled (?)
I wish I could have a million kids
A million girls
I would cut their head off
And I would
Pour water around them
So I can take knife
With that knife
I could pour
Water around them (?)
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Somebody was laughing in my ear
Last thing I remember
The sun was coming up
Last thing i remember
Last thing i remember
Hey the headlights are getting to
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
I can see
Somewhere above me
I can see
My friend weeping
My friend singing over me
Lifting her arms up to the sky
Lifting her arms up to the sky
....
Somewhere above me
I can hear
Like birds singing
Or are they weeping
Get up around eight X4
Let's make some coffee
And get real stoned
Hey let's play a record or two
A record or two X3
Hey the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
And I can see i'm alone
It's cold as hell X5
I've seen you a couple of times
Guess i've seen you three times
Walking circles around me
When you stand in front of my eyes
I'll make sure i'll look
I'll make sure i'll look
I'll make sure i'll look
Away
Away, away
Away
She like a little chinese
She is chinese
Maybe it would be nicer if I search out
The names
She comes around you and me
And when you stand in front of my eyes
I will look
I will look
I will look
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
She looks in distress
She looks impressive
When she is dancing her little home dance on me
Oh the werewolf, the werewolf
Comes stepping along
He don't even break the branches where he's gone
Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were flying
I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying
How nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows
How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes.
How nobody knows, nobody knows my pain
When I see that it's risen; that full moon again
For the werewolf, the werewolf has seen apathy
For the werewolf, somebody like you and me.
And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play.
All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play.
For the werewolf, the werewolf, has seen apathy
Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
Ot's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows
Where the time goes?
Who knows
Where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore
Your fickle friends
Are leaving
Ah, but then you know
It's time for them to go
But I will still be here
I have no thought
Of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows
Where the time goes?
Who knows
Where the time goes?
And I am not alone
While my love is near me
I know it will be
So until it's time to go
So come the storms
Of winter
And then the birds
In spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows
How my love grows?
And who knows
If you want
Money in your pocket
A top hat on your head
A hot meal on your table
And a blanket on your bed
Come to New York City
And I'm leaving on a train
If you want stay behind, wait until
I come back again
Because all our dreams come true
All our dreams come true
One, two, three, four
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
Is tears
The moon is up before me
The moon is shining bright
I want you to remember
As I disappear tonight
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
A hungry feeling, came o'er me stealing
And the mice they were squealing in my prison cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh to start the morning, the warden bawling
Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping
As he lay weeping for his girl Sal
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming
And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying
As the lag lay crying in his prision cell
And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle
All along the banks of the Royal Canal.
In the female prison there are seventy women
And I wish it was with them that I did dwell
And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoud've somehow realized what you've not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
I said, "Maybe you're gonna be the one who saves me
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca
They knew that they loved one another
Gonna have a real good time
No more sad, sad, bad times
It's all they've been waiting for
Someone to knock at the door
Willie was shot once in his mind
His cry out saved his own life
The second time was through the heart
The doctors pulled the bullet from inside
He had a job to do, he said
That's his way of life
Please don't bring him down
Please don't let him go
He's on the same side as you
He's just a little bit behind
I tell you there are some people living alone
I tell ya there are some people with nowhere to go
There are some people who don't believe in love
Willie and Rebecca prove them all wrong
A man named John wrote a song for me to sing
And the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen
He is a very good man
He has been an even very good man to me
I hope one day soon I will sing
Another love I still love, familiar face to me
A standing arch above my heart
I've never been to reach
He's laid my head on the bed
And told me sweetly, I am not
Crazy like all the others said
No he's not crazy like me
Please don't bring me down
Please don't let me go
My heart is a worried thing
Memories have planted seeds
Of the field I now want to reap and sow
I'm on the same side as you
I'm just a little bit behind, behind
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
Have you seen him?
I’ve seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go.
As far as I’ve seen from the bush
The wilderness, to every known city
I’ve been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
So where to? Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain,
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, into my town
Into my town
Bitching, complaining from some ṗeople who ain’t got shit to eat
Bitching, moment, so many people you know they got
What are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin
As far as I’ve seen, from the bush
The wilderness, to every known city
I’ve been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
So where to? Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain, Tokyo
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining from some people who ain’t got shit to eat
Bitching, moment, so many people you know that they got
What are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We’re sitting on a ruin

I went down to the river to meet the widow
She gave me an apple and it was red
I slept in her black arms for a century
She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return
The ghost of her husband beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples for us
Full of millions of red apples for us
I went down to the river to meet the widow
She gave me an apple and it was red
I slept in her black arms for a century
She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return
Well, I love you, baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some folks, some folks might say
That I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle down
But if I only could
I love to see the towns go
Crawling by
There's something I got to do
Before I die
I love you, baby
But you got to understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me
Some people say
That I do just fine
'Cause I hear the sweet song
Moving down the mind
And when that old
Southern train come-a calling me
There's something over the hill
I just got to see
Well, I love you, I love you, baby
But you've got to understand
When the Lord made me, he made me
He made a ramblin' woman
He made me, he made me, yeah
Now when I'm gone
When I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home
Your ramblin' woman
I love you, I love you, baby
But you've got to understand
The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough
But the clearer road up yonder
With the cinders on the side
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
I walked down to the valley
Turned my head up high
Seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The mountain was a movin'
The hummin' of its wheels
Told me of the new day
It was coming across the fields
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
We shall walk
The gravel road is bumpy
It's a hard old road to ride
But the good road is waitin'
And the boys it ain't far off
Trails of troubles
And your roads of battle
They lead paths of victory
Love & communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cuz I found you on the phone you called me
And you were not hunting me
Learning more and more about less and less and less
On the edge of your seat in some dark movie
Can you memorize the scenes, they'll be different next week
Can you tell me, can you tell, can you tell
If there is something better
'Cuz you know there always is, always is
Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts
Don't hate the night, what you shouldn't have
Come along for the ride, you just know you should
You just know you should
Can you tell, can you tell, can you tell
If there is something better
'Cuz you know there always is, there always is
Hated to see you sad when I left
There's just no good in that but the good part was
That I came at all 'cuz I don't venture out
Into the lives of the new
I want you to come along for the ride
How long will you stay for your whole life
You just know you should
Can you tell me, can you tell, can you tell
If there is something better
'Cuz you know there always is, always is
Love & communication you were here for me
At this very moment 'cuz I found you on the phone you called me
And you were not hunting me
Can you tell me, can you tell
If there is something better
Can you tell me, can you tell
I lost someone
A million to one
Ten thousand people
Under my fault
Someone, the one
My one, the only one
That's the someone
The someone, the only one
That someone that I lost
You're nothin' but a stranger
Come on home to me
I'm so weak on my knees
Help me, help me please, please, please
Cook outta money, I love you
I lost someone
One trillion to one
A million people
Under the big old sun, the sea
My one on the street
Lookin' like a bomb
That's my one
That's my someone, he's the one
Please help that one
He's nothin' but a stranger
Bring him home to me
He's so weak on
Both his bended knees
(by Nick Cave)
It's up in the morning
And on the downs
Little white clouds
Like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin
Beats his wings
His throat it trembles
When he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream
At the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face
Comes shining through
And all
The morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still
The fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round
The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things
They stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins
And the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face
Comes shining through
And all
The morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
(by Roberta Flack)
Pintor nacido en mi tierra,
con el pincel extranjero,
pintor que sigues el rumbo,
de tantos pintores viejos.
Aunque la virgen sea blanca,
p?ntale angelitos negros,
que tambi?n se van al cielo,
todos los negritos buenos.
Pintor si pintas con amor,
?por qu? desprecias su color?,
si sabes que en el cielo,
tambi?n los quiere Dios.
Pintor de santos alcoba,
si tienes alma en el cuerpo,
por qu? al pintar en tus cuadros,
te olvidaste de los negros.
Siempre que pintas iglesias,
pintas angelitos bellos,
pero nunca te acordaste,
I feel
I feel tired
Awake all night
Heads so heavy like a waste basket
I feel choke
Emotionally broke
Everything comes around still at the night
I feel alone
I want out
I want on my own
I want everything I own
I find letters, pictures
Memories of which I can't seem to let go
In your bedside table in your pocket in your wallet
You'll know
Abusive
A stranger in bed
Elusive
Forget everything you said
Youve got the right to have that hand on your own
But the moment you hit it you're on your own
You already took over
Want now you want to hit the road
In love like a steamboat running on 'need to float'
I don't need 5 times a day
To tell me to go
3 6 9
You drink wine
Monkey on your back you feel just fine
Free
Free, everything you ever wanted
I'm driving in my car
And a man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
'Bout some useless information
Tryin' to mess my 'magination
When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man come on to tell me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man
'Cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me
When I'm riding around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some boy
Baby, baby, baby, come back
Can't y'see
I'm on a losing streak
When I'm riding around the globe
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin'
