Chorus: repeat 2X
Nobody want'cha when you're down and out
Down and out
You got to keep on, treatin' me the way you do
[First Verse]
What's up with game, homie? I never saw you before
You got'z to be ridin' with them haters that be jockin' my flow
You say you always been down, but I never see you around
You was my friend in the beginning, but then you left when I was ass out
Now what's up on your block?
You supposed to be down when you say you down
But you weren't down then, what make me think you down now?
Wanna be ridin' right beside me cuz them girls on my jock
But you never wanna mess with me when I was choppin' up them rocks
I never did see your face, you never would put me up in your car
Asked you to take me to the store, you told me that was too far
But now I'm ridin' through your hood, makin' that mo money mo
Smokin' indo behind my tented window
And now I got my eyes closed when I be passin' you suckas by
No I wouldn't scoop you up and wouldn't address you if I tried
Got some real soldiers with me, cuz you suckas tryin' to get me
Ain't no shame in my game, plus my trigga finger itch
You can die, die, die over yay, yay, yay
When Cream step on the scene, that better be all you have to say
Don't play, you wanna get mad, cuz you thought I wasn't gone make it
But I done flipped it up and zipped it up, so suck it up and take it
Don't fake it
Chorus (2x)
[Second Verse]
Real is the only way to keep it, when you on the city streets
Watch your back for them jackers and keep your eye on your enemies
Cuz the side that we livin' in, you never know who's your friend
Your friend could be cool, and leave you dead in a blood pool
No rules to this game, or at least they all have been broken
My nigga got kicked over by a bitch, died with his eyes wide open
For shit like that gotta keep it strong and keep it loyal on your side
I wonder WHY, so many niggas I had, died of homicide
Reflect my life, bustin' too much for a young nigga
Hangin' tough, and keepin' myself in the game to make myself bigger
And thinkin' with this life, we can be down for the pound
Only time I got declined, so you know I be holdin' it down
Nigga if I'm a million years old,
I'd still be dealin' with fakes and them phonies
When I was down and out, the fakest ones are the ones who turned on me
So for them fakers fuck the rollin' show them slugs
Showin' 'em, bust your love
Man I'm about to light this bud and hold it down for all them thugs
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.
Take it back, take it back,
Take that thing right out of here.
Right away, far away,
Take that thing right out of here.
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.
Take it back, take it back,
Take that thing right out of here.
Right away, far away,
Take that thing right out of here.
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,
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 touch 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
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
Yeah
The tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers
You want to take her with you
Look here princess
I'm not here just for you
So take off in your new Rolls Royce
I've got an important things to do
Look here princess
I gave you everything
But I want it all back
So I can start some living
Look here princess
I want to be famous and rich
So I can be empty and bitter like you
Sitting home with nothing to do
Look here princess
I've got 15 women called Sue
20 women called Jane
And I'm sad
Look here princess
Now I'm singin' this sad song
About a man in a kennel
Who cries all day long
Look now princess
Don't shut me out for good
But keep me in your mind for later
Like I always knew you would
Princess look here
I'm in a desert now
See no way out
You've got to show me how
Look here now princess
I've got 15 women called Sue
20 women called Jane
And I'm sad
Look here princess
I'm not here just for you
So take off in your new Rolls Royce
I've got an important things
Look here now princess
I gave you everything
But I want it all back
So I can start some living
Look here princess
I want to be famous and rich
So I can be empty and bitter like you
Sitting home with nothing to do
Look here now princess
I've got 15 women called Sue
20 women called Jane
You make me feel like a hat stand
All tall, grim and brown
You make me feel like a clothes horse
Old and left out in the rain
You sure say you can
Also shared you with the others
I couldn't stand it
You make me feel like a deserted house
Dark and empty in the dusk
You made me feel like a charred foot
In a burnt out factory
You insist that I split
Cast me into the pit with the others
So many of them down there
Now it's so dark dark dark
Not a tiny spot of hope for me
Now I want you so much
I need a crutch by the time you set me free
Now it's so dark dark dark
Not a tiny spot of hope for me
Now I want you so much
I need a crutch by the time you set me free
You make me feel like a broken yellow yo-yo
Thrown away on a dump
You make me feel like a flower
Makin' way for a petrol pump
You ruined my days
With your poisoned ways
Like you did the others
So many others
Wonderin' down here
Hello man, how are things?
Dark isn't it?
What a woman?
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,
Dainties in a jam-jar, parson's color 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 growin' amp steads 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 and nothin' of 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?
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 touch 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
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
Yeah
The tiny purple fishes
Run laughing through your fingers
You want to take her with you
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
Every thing'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
Every thing'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 your forty five
Saved you from another man
Men lies
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies
Every thing's a fightin' about it
Every thing's a cryin' about it
Every thing's a, every thing's a diein' about it
Every thing's a cryin' about it
Every thing's a liein' about it
Little old, little old spoonful
Spoonful, yeah
Everybody just diein' about it
Everybody just cryin' about it
That spoon, that spoon, that
Little old spoon, little old spoon, little old
Little old spoon, little old spoon, little old spoon
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful, yeah
Pressed Rat And Warthog
by Ginger Baker and Mike Taylor
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,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
When I woke up this mornin' baby
All I had was gone
Well I rolled my baby
She's goin' to jump and shout
Well I rolled my baby
She's goin' to jump and shout
When that train rolls up boys
I'm gonna come walkin' on home
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Engine driver blows that whistle
Fireman rings that bell
Engine driver blows that whistle
Fireman rings that bell
Well I didn't have time boys
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
We were rollin' and tumblin'
Right the whole night long
When I woke up this mornin', baby
All I had was gone
Well, I rolled my baby
She's goin' to jump and shout
Well, I rolled my baby
She's goin' to jump and shout
When that train rolls up, boys
I'm gonna come walkin' on home
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Engine driver blows that whistle
Fireman rings that bell
Engine driver blows that whistle
Fireman rings that bell
Well, I didn't have time, boys
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.
So 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,
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 sittin' on top of the world
Of the summer, worked on this fall
Had to take Christmas, in my overall
She's gone, but I don't worry
I'm sittin' on top of the world
Goin' down to the freight yard
Gonna catch me a freight train
Gonna leave this town
Worked and got to home
She's gone, but I don't worry
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
Sweet wine, hay making, sunshine day breaking
We can wait till tomorrow
Car speed, road calling, bird freed, leaf falling
We can bide time
Who wants the worry, the hurry of city life
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 to 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)
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, ooh, ooh
Get up, get up, get up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please"
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
And I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house, baby, on the riverside
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrel house, baby on the riverside
"You can run, you can run", tell my friend boy, Willie Brown
"Run, you can run", tell my friend boy Willie Brown
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
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
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
You know, wine and women is all I crave
A big bad woman, who gonna carry me to my grave
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 troubles, they're my only friend
I've been down ever since I was ten
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
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
Born under a bad sign
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
It is a cold winter, away is the songbird
And gone is her traveler, 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, I will survive
Passing the time, drinking red wine
Passing the time, I will survive
Passing the time, everything fine
Passing the time, I will survive
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 traveler so far from home
She sits by the fireside, the room is so warm
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
On these streets where the time had 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, yea
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yea
The street is cold, its 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
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yea
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yea
I've 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"
It was on the way
On the road to dreams, yea
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yea
On these dark streets, the sun is black
The winter life is coming back
On these dark streets, it's cold inside
There's no retreat from time that's died
It was on the way
On the road to dreams
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Now my heart's drowned in no love streams, yea

Cuz when I ran it out, see I was a drug dealer,
But now that I'm on the ground, I'm breakin' bread and countin' figures,
Yeah Cream on the scene with a pocket full of green,
Need the money and the power just to keep it from the fiends,
Cuz I'm gettin' crack served,
And the police tryin' to get me,
And lookin' at my STEREO because my windows too tinted,
Lord help me cuz they CRAZY,
Pray for your BABY,
But that don't mean a damned thing cuz my pockets they be payin' me,

We be makin' a lil' dough, but they still wanna take it,
Now hook up on them boys, ain't nobody gone tell 'em different,
I'm the big man, big man, so hold it down tricks
It's gettin' near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
To give you my dawn surprise

I'll be with you when the stars start falling
I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
I'm with you, my love
The light's shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you, my love
It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up
I've been waiting so long to be where I'm going

It's the morning and just we two
I'll stay with you darling now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all 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
Driving in my car, smoking my cigar
The only time I'm happy's when I play my guitar
Ahh, ahh
Singing in my yacht, what a lot I got
Happiness is something that just cannot be bought
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
I've been in and out, I've been up and down
I don't want to go until I've been all around
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
What's it all about? Anyone in doubt?
I don't want to go until I've found it all out

I'm so glad, I'm so glad. I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad.
I'm so glad, I'm so glad. I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad.

Repeat Chorus Five Times
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.
Dreaming about my love;
You bring me joy and hours of 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.
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
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
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me
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
Comin' to me in the mornin', leavin' me at night
Comin' to me in the mornin', leavin' me alone
You've got that rainbow fee,l but the rainbow has a beard
Runnin' to me a cryin', when he throws you out
Runnin' to me a cryin', on your own again
You've got that pure feel, such good responses
But the picture has a mustache
You comin' to me with that soulful look on your face
Comin', lookin' like you've never ever done one wrong thing
You're comin' to me with that soulful look on your face
You're comin', lookin' 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
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
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 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
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
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you're all I want to know
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road, my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road, my eyes don't see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Dance floor is like the sea
Ceiling is the sky
You're the sun and as you shine on me
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 [Incomprehensible] 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 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 caused so many men to wear apron overall
When I leave this town I will bid you fare farewell
When I leave this town I will bid you fare farewell
Dreaming about my love
You bring me joy and hours of happiness
More or less
I dream my life away
Waiting for you to come
Changing my life for you to emptiness
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
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 love
You bring me joy and hours of happiness
More or less
I dream my life away
Dreaming
[Wheels of Fire - In the Studio:]
In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawn-light 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;
I'm going to a wedding
I'm going to a wedding dressed in black
I'm going to a party
I'm going to party, won't be back
'Cause I'm not going with you
Trees are no longer a comfort
Messages sad in the wires
My hair is hung down
With the blackest of rain that I'm feeling
I'm going to the river
I'm going to the river wash my tears
I'm going to the mountains
Going to the mountains cool my fears
That I'm not going with you
Skies are no longer a comfort
Leaves turning black in the autumn
The corn is hung down
With the heaviest rain I'm feeling
I'm going to a funeral
I'm going to a funeral dressed in white
I'm going to a nightclub
I'm going to a nightclub sleep with night
And I'm not going with you
Love is no longer a comfort
Fantastic times are forgotten
My heart is hung down
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 symbols 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 the ways
Miracles everywhere, where are they now?
(They're gone)
Those were the ways
(Yes they were)
Those were the 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 fans a flame
(Finally)
Wonder everywhere
Those were the days
(Yes they were)
Those were the days
Those were the ways
Miracles everywhere, where are they now?
(They're gone)
Those were the ways
(Yes they were)
Those were the ways
Those were the days
(Yes they were)
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
Every thing'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 spoonful
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
Every thing'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
Could fill spoons full of water
Save them from the desert sands
But a little spoon of your forty five
Saved you from another man
Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies
Every thing's a fightin' about it
Every thing's a cryin' about it
Every thing's a, everything's a dyin' about it
Every thing's a cryin' about it
Every thing's a lyin' about it
[Incomprehensible]
Spoonful, spoonful
Everybody's a dyin' about it
Alright just tryin' about it
That spoon, that spoon, that
Little a spoon, little a spoon, little a
Litte a spoon, little a spoon, little a spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
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, time all the time
Asleep in the daytime, asleep at night
Life is all playtime, workin' ain't right
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
A sleepy time, time
A sleepy time all the time
I have my Sunday, that ain't no lie
But on Monday morning in my favorite cry
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
A sleepy time, time
They called it stormy Monday
And Tuesday's just as bad
They called it stormy Monday
Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's the worst
And Thursday's also sad
Well, the eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday I go out and play
Don't you know that the eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday I go out and play
Sunday I'll go to church
Then I'll kneel down on my knees and I'll pray
Oh Lord, help me
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Said I done searched the whole world over
And I can't find my lover nowhere
Oh Lord
Said I cried, Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Said I cried, Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Send my baby back
Or I will live in misery
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 an 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
(Plied)
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
{Thank you, thank you
Thank you
Don't take the wrong direction passin' 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
(Hey)
No variation
In a very dark blue, blue condition
Early risin' every day
You must be enterprisin' in your way
For you will hear no laughter, nor see the sun
Life would be one disaster all the way through
No relaxation, no conversation, no variation
In a very dark blue, blue condition
Don't take the wrong direction passin' through
Instead of deep reflection of what's true
(Hey)
For it's a combination of judgments made by you
That cause a deep dejection all the way through
No relaxation
(Hey)
No conversation, no variation
In a very dark blue, blue condition
No relaxation, no conversation, no variation
Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
The 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 fluorescent 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?
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
If you lose your money, great god, don't lose your mind
If you lose your money, great god, don't lose your mind
If you lose your woman, please don't fool with mine
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my lady while I sleep
I'm gonna buy me a bulldog, watch my lady while I sleep
Women these days, they're so doggone crooked
Till they might make off 'fore day creep
Well, you can't watch your wife, outside women too
You can't watch your wife, outside women too
When you're out with your women, wife will be at home
Cookin' your food, doin' your dirt, buddy, what you tryin' to do?
Oh, you can't watch your wife, outside women too
Oh, you can't watch your wife, outside women too
When you're out with your women, wife will be at home
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,
See the old train go down the track
Hear the wheels go clicketty-clack
It's comin' home, comin' home
Leavin' town, baby, ain't comin' home no more.
Get the train, you know that's why I'm leavin'
Ain't no use to greavin', well, I guess I'm leavin'
Well, I'm leavin' town' well, I'm leavin' town
Leave town, baby, ain't comin' home no more.
Traintime, baby, traintime's almost here
Traintime, baby, traintime's almost here
So give me one more time so now, do-dah-yeah.
Traintime, baby
Traintime, baby.
Bye-bye, baby.
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
Bye-bye
