Austin American Statesman 2015-03-01Stephen Lawrence "Steve" Winwood (born 12 May 1948) is an English songwriter and musician whose genres include blue-eyed soul, R&B, rock, blues-rock, pop-rock, and jazz. A multi-instrumentalist, he plays the electric organ, synthesizers, bass, drums, guitar, mandolin, violin and other strings. A star performer for nearly 50 years, he has also done notable work as a producer.
In addition to his solo career, Winwood was a key member of The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith and Go. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Traffic in 2004.
In 2005, Winwood was honoured as a BMI Icon at the annual BMI London Awards for his "enduring influence on generations of music makers." In 2008, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Winwood #33 in its 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. Winwood has won numerous Grammy Awards in the United States.
Stephen Lawrence Winwood was born in Handsworth, Birmingham, England. His father, Lawrence, a foundryman by trade, was a semi-professional musician, playing mainly the saxophone and clarinet. Young Winwood became interested in swing and Dixieland jazz as a boy and began playing drums, guitar, and piano. He first performed with his father and older brother Muff in the Ron Atkinson Band at the age of eight. Winwood was a choirboy at St John's Church Perry Barr and later admitted to having "sneaked a few plays" of the organ there. While he was still young the family moved from Handsworth to the semi-rural suburb of Kingstanding at the northern edge of the city.
Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE, (born 30 March 1945) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and fourth in Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time.
In the mid 1960s, Clapton departed from the Yardbirds to play blues with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. In his one-year stay with Mayall, Clapton gained the nickname "Slowhand". Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed Cream, a power trio with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop." For most of the 1970s, Clapton's output bore the influence of the mellow style of J.J. Cale and the reggae of Bob Marley. His version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" helped reggae reach a mass market. Two of his most popular recordings were "Layla", recorded by Derek and the Dominos, another band he formed and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded by Cream. A recipient of seventeen Grammy Awards, in 2004 Clapton was awarded a CBE for services to music. In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers.
Thomas Earl "Tom" Petty (born October 20, 1950) is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch. He has also performed under the pseudonyms of Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr. and Muddy Wilbury.
He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continues to host sold-out shows. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums.
Tom Petty was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, and attended Gainesville High School. His interest in rock and roll music began at age 10 when he met Elvis Presley. In the summer of 1961, his uncle was working on the set of Presley's film Follow That Dream in nearby Ocala, Florida and invited Petty to come down and watch the shoot. He instantly became an Elvis Presley fan and soon traded his Wham-O slingshot for a box of Elvis 45s. In a 2006 interview on the National Public Radio program Fresh Air, Petty said that he knew he wanted to be in a band the moment he saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. One of his first guitar teachers was Don Felder, a fellow Gainesville resident, who would later join the Eagles. As a young man, Petty worked briefly on the grounds crew for the University of Florida, but never attended as a student. An Ogeechee lime tree that he planted while employed at the University is now called the Tom Petty tree.
You rise upon a black day, coming from a mile away
And every time I hear you say, that I don't have to be this way
You sneak upon a mean moon, that casts it's shadow too soon
When the spell is in tune, your shadow slips away
Good man gets the good wife, while bad boy's cleaning up his knife
And all I got is trouble and strife to help me on my way
You're running round to nowhere, someone said it might be there
But I'm telling you beware, the hand that fights you'll feed
Investigating downtown, Sergeant Gruesome got shot down
National Guard came all around, but couldn't find his knees
Mickey Mouse was all put out, Donald Duck began to shout
In my life there was emptiness
Where I was going I couldn't guess
Then one day into my life you came
And from then on nothing seemed the same
You gave me strength when I thought I could be wrong
Hey now I know, here is where I belong
With your real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through
And I know with all my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
And here I'll always stay
Inside your real love, real love
You make things right with no uncertainty
I know this kind of love will always be realized
And I'm now quite sure
Real love is what we all are lookin' for
Now I'm ready to be just what you want me to
With you right here, oh to guide me through
I need your real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through
And I know with all my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
And here I'll always stay
Inside your real love, real love
Just to have a soul mate
To make things right when all senses fail
True love is a hard found thing
Now I feel it and I need it always
Real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through yeah
And all I know with all of my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
I'll always stay
Inside your real love, real love, real love
Different light
Searching for the truth I find
That I am running quite short of time
And I am no longer certain of my destiny
Different light
Things that I once thought were right
Are now reflected in a different light\
And it seemed that I overlooked a part of me
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
Different light
Searching for the truth I find
Is that what I thought was peace of mind?
It was only me escaping my reality
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
I had questioned my philosophy
So that I can see the truth in me
Searching for the truth
I found out what I thought would be
Peace of mind
Things that should've stayed the same
Are prone to change
Now I've seen a little light
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
I have questioned my philosophy
So that I could see the truth in me
Different Light
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
And I have questioned my philosophy
Well, the world's no perfect place
We're only doing what we can do
When the night comes over me
Open my eyes up to a brighter sky
And the light shines above every nation
But at times we do forget about them
Like my brother who is falling down
But at times we do forget about him
The truth is an empty word
Spoken in vain, yeah, like we all do
Blind hate the modern way
But every life has a beautiful name
And the light shines above every nation
But at times we do forget about them
Like my brother who is falling down
But at times we do forget about him
No regrets can save us
And only our hearts have any answer
Oh, it's you
And the lights shines above every nation
But at times we do forget about them
Like my brother who is falling down
But at times we do forget about him
Time to break out now
Out of the prison of our own mind
There's a rhyme where there's a reason
Everyone's dreaming of the same dream, oh, dream on
There'll be times at sunrise when my heart speaks your name
For you left with no warning but there's no one left to blame
All those days full of golden sun when you walked by my side
And everything that you gave to me can never be denied
And sometimes the other shore is so far away
And that darker river's edge is too far away
And across the waterline is far away
On a new tomorrow cooling breeze shows a star
There can be so much sorrow when you've traveled from afar
But there's nothing that can harm you when the night's closing in
In the bright lit heavens above us you know we'll meet there again
And sometimes the other shore is so far away
And that darker river's edge is too far away
And across the waterline is so far away
In the rush of our breathing there is always passing time
There is always somebody leaving and someone's always left behind
But something endures in the morning's blue light
I have you and you have me
And it'll be alright when the skies all clear 'cause we're all born to be free
The other shore is so far way
And that darker river's edge is too far away
And across the waterline it's so far away
And sometimes the other shore is so far away
And across the river's edge is so far away
So far away, far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, far away
We are not like all the rest
You can see us any day of the week
Oh come around, sit down, take a sniff, fall asleep
Baby, you don't have to speak
I'd like to show you where it is
But then it wouldn't even mean a thing
Nothin' is easy, baby, just please me
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
If for just one moment
You could step outside your mind
And float across the ceiling
I don't think the folks would mind
We are not like all the rest
You can see us any day of the week
Oh come around, sit down, take a sniff, fall asleep
Baby, you don't have to speak
I'd like to show you where it is
But then it wouldn't even mean a thing
Nothin' is easy, baby, just please me
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
If for just one moment
You could step outside your mind
And float across the ceiling
I don't think the folks would mind
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Heaven is calling waking me from my sleep
Cross the ocean for the road of our chance to be free
Over the rainbow, follow the rolling sea
Find an answer to the dream of the man I can be
Set my sail by a star
Into the world of raging sea, left my home
Oh, goodbye my love, your tears break my heart
But we'll meet again on a new horizon
In a paradise for you and for me
Summer is coming, warm the winter skies
Yellow sun to dry the rain that's clouding my eyes
Over the ocean, chasing lonely moon
Heaven knows if my true fate will come find me soon
Storm all around us, blacken the icy sea
Save my soul if my good angel's there waiting for me
Hurricane rising, thank the god I know
Feel my destiny to find my own El Dorado
Set my sail by a star
Into a world of raging sea, left my home
Kissed goodbye my love, your tears broke my heart
But we'll meet again on a new horizon
In a paradise for you and for me
Set my sail by a star
Into a world of raging sea, left my home
Oh, goodbye my love, your tears broke my heart
But we'll meet again on a new horizon
In a paradise for you and for me
Looking for new worlds, haunting me in my sleep
Lost one good friend to the sword and one more to the deep
Over the sunrise, blood on flaming sea
Keep on running, keep on hiding
One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand, oh, yeah
I'm gonna be your man
Keep on running, running from my arms
One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand, oh, yeah
I'm gonna be your man
Hey, hey, hey
Everyone is talking about me, it make me feel so bad
Hey, hey, hey
Everyone is laughing at me, it make me feel so sad
So keep on running, hey, hey
All right
Keep on running, running from my arms
One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand, oh, yeah
I'm gonna be your man
Hey, hey, hey
Everyone is talking about me, it make me feel so sad
Hey, hey, hey
Everyone is laughing at me, it make me feel so bad
Keep on running, running from my arms
One fine day I'm gonna be the one
To make you understand, oh, yeah
I'm gonna be your man
Hey, come on
Make me feel so good
I wanna be your man, alright
Come on, baby
I know you make me feel so good
You know, you make me wanna shout baby
Come on, come on
Shouldn't have took more than you gave
Wouldn't be in this mess today
I know we've all got different ways
But the dues we've got to pay are still the same
Trying to change the script for this old play
Reading and not feeling what you say
You' re coming on too strong for me to stay
Interpret what you're seeing anyway
Seems the simple things are the hardest to explain
It's going to come too soon, there's another way
Footprints in the snow will show well things are still the same
I'm looking for a girl who has no face
She has no name, or number
And so I search within his lonely place
Knowing that I won't find her
Well, I can't stop this feeling deep in inside me
Ruling my mind
I feel no sound
Don't know where I'm bound
The scenery is all the same to me
Nothing has changed or faded
I'm a part of it, some part of me
Painted cool green, and shaded
So, try to find myself must be the only way
Had a dream last night, the angels had come riding
In the light of day, there was no more hiding
All so fine, I still see them shine
I saw angels play right in the light of day
As I watched them fly across a fiery sky
And I heard their cry as they passed me by
I could feel the light inside me, I could feel it everywhere
Life was clear and fair
Woke up in the dark and tried to keep believing
In the light I saw, in time of constant grieving
Vision fair, please don't disappear
And please hear my prayer there in my light of day
When I look within, I see them shine again
As the darkness ends and the light begins
I can feel the light inside me, I can feel it everywhere
They are all still there
On the street tonight the innocent are dying
And the worlds not right, so many millions crying
Evil lives and hate never gives, Hell is never far
And is this all we are?
Oh, Lord, hear us cry, up in my fiery sky
That our souls may fly to you when we die
Help us feel the light inside us, help us feel it everywhere
Oh, Lord, be there
Be there, be there
Lord, be there, be there
Be there, oh, be there
Be there
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
I can't believe she's goin'
I said please show me
What selfish seeds I plant along the way
Black harvest today
The empty bed she left me
Cold on one side
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you?
Can I cope with today?
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
But I'll control my feelings
I find faith, healing
And I'll find hope singing
The way is so long
But I'm gonna be strong
Oh what a turn around
Soon, someday I'll be bound
And I'll cope with today
My love is leavin'
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you, my love?
Breathing your perfume
Chills me
Dreams never lie
Is it true, asking you?
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
That's what you heard
I'm free as a bird
Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin' me
Leavin, my love is leavin'
'Cause my love is leavin' me
That's what you heard
'Coz I'm free as a bird
My love is leavin', leavin'
Leavin', leavin'
Sitting all alone by the fireside
Listen to the wind in the chimney top
Haven't slept for days, and I'm still wide eyed
Try not to think, but my mind won't stop
Evening shadows making my heart sing out
With the setting sun, turning leaves to brown
If I had a lover, who's heart was true
I wouldn't be alone in this evening blue
Everybody's looking for something in life
Not everyone's finds what they're looking for
Everybody wants a little happiness in life
But everyone can open the door
Morning wakens, making my heart sing out
Now that summer's here, changing fears and doubts
He's a devil and an angel
Ooh, the combination's driving me wild
Drive me wild
He's a saint and he's a sinner
Ooh somehow he acts just like a beginner
I guess he's still a child
Chorus:
Ask anybody, ask anybody
They'll say I'm going wrong
They say that I should walk out
But that's not what I want
Ask anybody and they'll all say the same
But that's all right
'cause I know somehow
We can make it all right
And I'm putting up a fight
Somehow, somewhere
He'll change
And we'll try it all over again
Without all the pain.
Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board
Well you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me
The midnight special to santa fe
If you ever go to houston, oh you better walk right
Well you better not stagger and you better not fight
'cause the sheriff will arrest you and he'll carry you down
You can bet your bottom dollar, you're penitentiary bound
Wake up early in the morning, hear the ding dong ring
Go walkin' to the table, see the same damn (thing)
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me
The midnight special to santa fe
When you wake up in the morning, hear the rooster crow
Don't wanna work but I got to go
Don't wanna leave my baby, leave her all alone
'cause when I get back, she may be gone
Get your ticket at the station, get your dinner on board
Well you know I have to leave you but I don't wanna go
Let the midnight special shine it's light on me
The midnight special to santa fe
Blind man
Standing on the corner
Crying out the blues
And I don't need a dollar
And don't give me a dime
Until you bring back that little girl of mine
I can't let her go
I'm hooked I can't let her go
People try to tell me stop crying
And find you someone new
'cause when that good lord made one woman
Halleluja!
Don't you know he made two
But I can't let her go
I'm hooked I can't let her go
I can't let her go lord
I can't let her go
He lifted up his head toward heaven
And said, lord, I'd rather die
Then let a no-good woman
Make me stand on this corner and cry
Lord knows I'm living in a world of darkness
But that don't bother me
And until I find that sweet little girl of mine
Lord knows, I just don't want to see
I can't let her go
I'm hooked I can't let her go
Won't somebody please help the blind
I can't let her go
I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own
Is for you and you alone
That's all, that's all
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
So if it's me that you adore
Darling, for evermore
That's all, that's all
There are those I'm sure who have told you
Who would give you the world for a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love I've never explored
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you adore
Girl, for evermore
That's all, that's all
There are those I'm sure who have told you
Who would give you the world for a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love I've never explored
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you adore
Girl, and for evermore
That's all, that's all, that's all

I'm ellen, originally from lubbock. jim and I married fresh outta high school and I started havin' babies right off. jim studied and became a veterinarian, only to run off with a nineteen year old horse trainer. I was left with three kids, no money and no skills. things got so bad, I didn't want to live anymore, until someone slipped a card under our front door - it said "will powers". I turned it over, it said, "the greater your problem, the greater your opportunity". somethin' clicked between my heart and my mind. today my kids attend the best private school in dallas, while I run 95 day care centers throughout the great state of texas. incidentally I got a lot of boyfriends.

Last night, the night before (jump back, baby, jump back)
Twenty four robbers was at my door (jump back, baby, jump back)
I got up to let 'em in (jump back, baby, jump back)
Hit 'em on the head with a rollin' pin (jump back, baby, jump back)
Downtown sycamore town, (jump back, baby, jump back)
Billy go lay his poppa down (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump
Well, I went back home to get some sleep (jump back, baby, jump back)
I give the bed bugs the time to breed (jump back, baby, jump back)
One should bite before I wake (jump back, baby, jump back)
Hope the world is [?] should break (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump
Paid 5 dollars for an old grey horse (jump back, baby, jump back)
Horse wouldn't pull, so I swapped for a bull (jump back, baby, jump back)
Bull wouldn't holler so I sold it for a dollar (jump back, baby, jump back)
The dollar I wouldn't need so I throwed it in the grass (jump back, baby, jump back)
The grass wouldn't grow, so I chopped it with a hoe (jump back, baby, jump back)
The hoe wouldn't chop, so I took it to the shop (jump back, baby, jump back)
The shop made money like the bees make honey (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump
You gotta jump back, baby, every single night
You gotta jump back, baby, every single night
Why don't you jump back, baby?
Heaven is calling waking me from my sleep
Cross the ocean for the road of our chance to be free
Over the rainbow, follow the rolling sea
Find an answer to the dream of the man I can be
Set my sail by a star
Into the world of raging sea, left my home
Oh, goodbye my love, your tears break my heart
But we'll meet again on a new horizon
In a paradise for you and for me
Summer is coming, warm the winter skies
Yellow sun to dry the rain that's clouding my eyes
Over the ocean, chasing lonely moon
Heaven knows if my true fate will come find me soon
Storm all around us, blacken the icy sea
Save my soul if my good angel's there waiting for me
Hurricane rising, thank the god I know
Feel my destiny to find my own El Dorado
Set my sail by a star
Into a world of raging sea, left my home
Kissed goodbye my love, your tears broke my heart
But we'll meet again on a new horizon
In a paradise for you and for me
Set my sail by a star
Into a world of raging sea, left my home
Oh, goodbye my love, your tears broke my heart
But we'll meet again on a new horizon
In a paradise for you and for me
Looking for new worlds, haunting me in my sleep
Lost one good friend to the sword and one more to the deep
Over the sunrise, blood on flaming sea
Crossed the ocean for the ghost of a chance to be free
I was born in macon, georgia, met my dad in a macon jail
He said, "son, if you keep your hands clean
You won't have them bloodhounds on your trail"
I fell in with bad companions, robbed a man in tennessee
Sheriff caught me way up in nashville
And they locked me up and they threw away the key
Refrain:
I washed my hands in muddy water
I washed my hands but they didn't come clean
Tried to do what my daddy told me
But I must have washed my hands in a muddy stream
I asked the jailer when my time's up, he said, "son, we won't forget
If you try to keep your hands clean
We may make a good man of you yet."
I couldn't wait to do my sentence, I broke out of the nashville jail
I just crossed the line of georgia
And I can hear those bloodhounds on my trail
Refrain (2 times)
While there is time let's go out and feel everything
If you hold me I will let you into my dreams
For time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can and we'll drink our cup of laughter
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
I've been sad and have walked bitter streets alone
Come morning, there's a good wind to blow me home
So time is a river rolling into nowhere
I will live while I can, I will have my ever after
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
Oh, keep shining
Life could be better, life could be
We go so fast, why don't we make it last
Life is glowing inside you and me
Please take my hand, right here where I stand
Won't you come out and dance with me
Come see with me, oh, come see
And the lovers try 'til they get the best of the night
And come morning, they are tangled up in the light
So time be a river rolling into nowhere
And they love while they can
And they think about the night so sweet
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
Keep shining, keep shining
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
Dancing, dancing, dancing, oh
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys
If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this?
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys
If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride
And strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
You meet every kind of person moving toward the morning side
You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad
You play every midnight gambler before you see the light
On the morning side, the morning side
You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side
To earn one more second chance, you learn the dance
When you finally climb the mountain, you see the other side
It's the morning side, the morning side
Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see
Now I'm living on the morning side
Now I'm letting all the sunlight into me
Now I'm free
And I know I'll never pass that way again
That dark journey to the morning side
On the morning side I feel my life begin
There's a river pouring
From a pure and a crystal stream
And it carries my heart along
Carries me all my life
And I know it will bring me home
There's a choir singing
With a force that can light the sky
I will join with a voice deep inside
Anthems for joys gone by
And for joys I am sure will come
Golden treasure in the evening sky
It's good to be alive
Golden measure, hear the music cry
When my heart sings
Of golden things
There's a dove ascending
Like my thoughts in the summer sky
And she carries my soul along
Clear to eternity
Spy, baby
Spy, baby
There was a time, you had it made
Everything was going your way
So many guys hanging on a string
You just wanted to play
Like a spy in the House of Love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the House of Love
Someone put a spell on your heart
Spy in the House of Love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the House of Love
Someone's got a hold on your heart
Spy, baby, in the House of Love
Spy, baby, in the House of Love, yeah
Out on the street, you were the queen
Playing games with jokers and fools
Then out of the night there comes the king
Now he's changing the rules, yeah
Like a spy in the House of Love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the House of Love
Someone put a spell on your heart
Spy in the House of Love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the House of Love
Someone's got a hold on your heart
Spy, baby, in the House of Love
Spy, baby, in the House of Love
Spy in the House of Love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the House of Love
Suspecting's gonna drag you apart
Spy in the House of Love
Searching for a clue in the dark
Spy in the House of Love
Someone's got a hold on your heart
Spy in the House of Love, of Love
Spy in the House of Love, House of Love
Spy in the House of Love
Spy in the House of Love, House of Love
Spy in the House of Love
Here's to gamblers who hold to the game
Through the hard times they don't lose their aim.
And they hope for time on their side
and they keep a ticket to ride.
Two believers their soul in their hand
They keep watching for signs in the land.
And they stand there watchin' the sky
and they stand there ready to fly.
Here's to never letting go though sometimes it does get lonely.
I still walk out in the mornin' light just to see what is there.
I hear music in silent night
searching - I find the reason to care
One heart moving still the same - still in the game.
Here's to lovers who reach for it all
never matching the rise with the fall.
And they just can't leave it alone
and they want it all till it's gone.
Here's to players who can't leave their song
And it haunts themtheir night is so long
Cause there's music there in their mind
From a world they're trying to find.
Here's to never letting go . . .
Still in the game
still in the game
in the game
Raise the window on another day
Got to take as it comes
Just an actor waiting for a new play
Got to take as it comes
Ask me to dance, I will dance for you
Ask me to sing, you see what I do
If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you
I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through
If you suffer from a broken heart
Got to take as it comes
If your lover tears your world all apart
Got to take as it comes
I've played a king and a down and out fool
Some like it hot and some like it cool
Do what they want but don't be their tool
Savor the throne but don't mind the stool
Carry on, carry on, carry on
If they go too far, that's the way things are
Though it may hurt some, take it as it comes, oh, yeah
We're all skating on the thinnest of ice
Got to take as it comes
In a world that isn't so very nice
Got to take as it comes
And day now the curtain may fall
All the plays end but no curtain call
If you live sad or if you walk tall
We're written on wind that's a lot to haul
Carry on, carry on, carry on
If they go too far, that's the way things are
High above the heat of a summer New York street
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone
He's a preacher and a teacher
And he stands up all alone
Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he's losing and he's using
And he says he's doing fine
And they look from such a height
That somehow it's all right
They're talking back to the night
It's all that they can do
Talking back to the night
It's how they make it through
If you listen you can hear them
Their voices draw you near them
They're talking back to the night for you
Something seems to take every dime the man can make
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he's trying hard to make it
And he's trying not to burn
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
She gives him all she has to
I can feel the heat, no one has to tell me
It's so good, once it starts, I'll never let go
I can feel the beat like a Spanish dancer under my feet
Makin' the world go 'round, I can't come down
You can't hold me, when I get to feelin' this way
It's all over, I'm inside that music that's playin'
It takes me out, across the wall
It makes my life a carnival
I go out on the street and take my chances
Don't even have to ask, I know the answers yeah
I can feel the street like a Spanish dancer under my feet
Makin' the night go 'round, I can't come down
You can't hold me, when I get to feelin' this way
It's all over, I'm inside that music that's playin'
You can feel the heat, no one has to tell you
It's so good, once it starts, you'll never let go
You can feel the beat like a Spanish dancer under your feet
Makin' the world go 'round, you can't come down
They can't hold you, when you get to feelin' this way
It's all over, you're inside that music that's playin'
It takes you out, across the wall
It makes your life a carnival
You go out on the street and take your chances
Don't even have to ask, you know the answers
You can feel the street like a Spanish dancer under your feet
Makin' the night go 'round, you can't come down
They can't hold you, when you get to feelin' this way
Sometimes I think he knows too much
His confidence never needs a crutch
One man is a real one, the other wants to hide
One man has his mind made up, the other can't decide
By the time there's nothing left to choose
One man puts the fire out, the other lights the fuse
Sometimes I think I know too much
'Bout what goes on in the real world and such
Half of me is certain, the other isn't sure
One half has the symptom, the other knows the cure
By the time there's nothing left to choose
One half has the answer, the other looks for clues
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Sometimes I think we've come too far
If we're lost and not where we are
Half of us is easy, the other half are hard
Even though we do our best, we end up being scarred
By the time there's nothin' left to choose
One man puts the fire out, the other lights the fuse
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line
Split decision
A fine line, it's a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
Oh it's a fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
Split decision
It's a fine line, a very fine line
It's a very fine line
It's very fine, a very fine line
We're talking about my baby, not you baby, say my baby
She's so fine
I'm talking about my baby, not you baby, say my baby
She's so fine
She's right there in love
And people come, rain or shine
Well, I love her, don't you love her, 'cause I love her,
You hear?
Well, I love her, don't you love her, 'cause I love her,
You hear?
She upsets my soul when she whispers sweet things in my ear
I love the way she walks
Yeah, she walks
I love the way she talks
Yeah, she talks
Make me feel so good
Just like a good man should
She never made me cry
That's why she's my babe
Well nothin' could be better
Than to see her in a sweater
And a real tight skirt, that won't fit
Well nothin' could be better
Than to see her in a sweater
And a tight skirt, that won't fit
She walks on the floor,
And people let me tell you, that's it
My babe, yeah, yeah, yeah, my babe
My babe, yeah, yeah, yeah, my babe
My babe, yeah, yeah, yeah, my babe
I love the way she walks, etc.
Sometimes I feel so worried
Sometimes I feel so sad
Thinking about my baby and the good times we had
You know it hurts me so, hurts me so,
And I never wanted to let you go
Sometimes I feel so worried
Sometimes I feel so blue
Thinking 'bout my baby and the things we used to do
You know it hurts me so, hurts me so,
And I never wanted to let you go
When you see me all alone you know
That you never wanted to let me go
But it's too late now
It doesn't matter how
I tried to get you back again
Sometimes I feel so worried
Sometimes I feel so blue
Thinking 'bout my baby and the things we used to do
You know it hurts me so, hurts me so,
And I never wanted to let you go
Oh!
Let you go, baby
I never wanted to let you go
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
All alone
Standing here by myself
And my girl is walking right down the street with someone else
There's not a place that I can run in a town this size
So I just better look away
I said I better look away
I said I better look away before she sees the tears in my eyes
He's so close
The girl I knew so well
With the eyes and the lips and the skin
That I know so well
I know they both want to look at me,
If I smile, that's a poor disguise
I just better look away
I said I better look away
I said I better look away before she sees the tears in my eyes
There they go, and I wonder if either one of them is wise
That when I look away
I said I when I look away
I said when I look away
Did she see the tears in my eyes?
Well, I've been search'
Oh lord, I've been searchin'
I've been searchin' every which away yeah yeah
Just like a northwest mountie
I'm gonna get her back again
You know that if I have to swim a river, you know I will
If I have to climb a mountain, you know I will
And if I have to up and up on a blueberry hill
You know I'm gonna find that girl, you know, you know I will
'cause I've been searching
Searching
I've been searchin' every which away yeah yeah
Just like a northwest mountie
I'm gonna get her back again
If I have to swim a river, you know I will
And if I have to climb a mountain, you know I will
And if they walk in town [in time? ], she's gonna hear me comin'
I'm gonna walk right down that street just like a bulldog runnin'
Cause I've been searchin'
Oh, searchin'
I've been searchin' every which away yeah yeah
Just like a northwest mountie
I'm gonna get her back again
You know I been searchin'
Christmas is now drawing near at hand
Come serve the Lord and be at His command
And God a portion for you will provide
And give a blessing to your soul beside
Down in the garden where flowers grow in ranks
Down on your bended knees and give the Lord thanks
Down on your knees and pray both night and day
Leave off your sins and live upright, I pray
So proud and lofty is some sort of sin
Which many take delight and pleasure in
Whose conversation God doth not dislike
And yet He shakes His sword before He strikes
So proud and lofty do some people go
Dressing themselves like players in the show
They patch and paint and dress with idle stuff
As if God had not made them fine enough
Even little children learn to curse and swear
And can't recite one word of Godly prayer
Who'll teach them better or teach them to rely
On Christ the sinner's friend who reigns on high
What makes one man a criminal, another a celebrity?
What puts one man on a park bench and another behind a big desk?
What is the difference between failure and success?

When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd change the world for the good things he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts and sleep out in the rain
If she says that's the way it ought to be
Well this man loves you, woman
Give you everything I can
Trying to hold on to your high class love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong
She can never look another man
When a man loves a woman, hey hey I know exactly how he feels
'cause baby baby you are my girl
When a man loves a woman
I looked to the sky
Where an elephant's eye
Was looking at me
From a bubblegum tree
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
I walked through a field
That just wasnt real
Where 100 tin soldiers
Would shoot at my shoulder
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
(I climbed on the back of a giant albatross
Which flew through a crack in the cloud
To a place where happiness reigned all year round
Where music played ever so loudly)
I started to fall
And suddenly woke
And the dew on the grass
It stuck to my coat
And all that I knew
The hole in my shoe
Was letting in water (letting in water)
In a world filled with so much sorrow
Every one is thinking of himself
So little time is spent on planning for tomorrow
No one really seems to care
It's so easy to be lost in a land
Where no one wants to help you, no one understands
But we'll hold hands together
And we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
By your side I'll always be
Though things be good or bad
From now until eternity
I'll do anything I can
To make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll be waiting for you
Then we'll hold hands forever
And we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
I'll make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll be waiting for you
Then we'll hold hands together
Darling for ever and ever, oh
Till the end of time, oh darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
Till the end of time, I know I'm gonna love you for ever and ever
Oh darling, oh darling for ever and ever
Oh baby, I had to think things through
I never needed love when I was all by myself
Now comes the time, I know it's gotta be you
Oh baby, now I need your help
Ooh, come on now, baby
I wanna give some special time to you now
'Cause ooh, when you touch me
Get a feelin' I can't hide
Now I know all I need is you
You're my reason for stayin' alive
I know that it's real, I feel it inside
Come on now, let's not wait
Gimme plenty lovin'
Gimme plenty lovin'
Gimme plenty lovin'
Every day, every night, come on, baby
Oh baby, you know we'll be apart
We gonna make up on love till I'll be with you again
Thinking of you, the feeling in my heart
Let's start doin' what we do till then, baby
Ooh, I'm hearin' what you say
We gotta make the most of it for us now, baby
Now we're together
I'll be holding you tonight

I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen
She had some gypsy's blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
I traveled 'round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in
Yeah
I had a strange dream in my hair
I saw a pearly queen lying there
And all around her feet flowers bloomed
But they were made of silk and sequins two by two
I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen
And she had some gypsy's blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
Yeah
I traveled 'round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
All over the night, the beat goes on
Can you hear it? Can you feel?
Through the years music keeps running
The beat keeps running on, on and on
And I'll always be feeling it, and I won't slow down
Just as long as those wheels go round
I'll be riding that fast train to Memphis
On that sweet R & B
Till that green grass way down home grows up over me
Somewhere in this world a child is born
He can her, he can feel it
Just like me, he'll keep it running
He'll keep it running on, on and on
Steve Winwood/Will Jennings
Hear the night music playing?
Don't you know what it's saying?
We should feel it together
For forever
Feel the beat and just hold on
To the sweet midnight flowing
Feel the music inside you
I'll be there too
Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true
Feels so good we're crying
Now's the time when it's down to me and you
Spread these wings-we'll be flying
Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Don't you know what the night can do?
Time to show all your feeling
All the night is revealing
Let the rhythm enfold you
Let me hold you
Now we turn into music
Now we will never lose it
When the rhythm and night ride
No heart can hide
There are times that never ever come again
Mem'ries there for the making
When the night calls, we better let it in
All this love for the taking
Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Won't you help me to let it through?
Don't you know what the night can do?
In my life there was emptiness
Where I was going I couldn't guess
Then one day into my life you came
And from then on nothing seemed the same
You gave me strength when I thought I could be wrong
Hey now I know, here is where I belong
With your real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through
And I know with all my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
And here I'll always stay
Inside your real love, real love
You make things right with no uncertainty
I know this kind of love will always be realized
And I'm now quite sure
Real love is what we all are lookin' for
Now I'm ready to be just what you want me to
With you right here, oh to guide me through
I need your real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through
And I know with all my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
And here I'll always stay
Inside your real love, real love
Just to have a soul mate
To make things right when all senses fail
True love is a hard found thing
Now I feel it and I need it always
Real love to hold on to
Real love to pull me through yeah
And all I know with all of my heart
Here I'm gonna stay
I'll always stay
Inside your real love, real love, real love
So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air
And it's all that we can do to face each day and see it though
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
You can't shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain
You can't keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat
Someone's world is tumbling down, and who's the saint and where's the clown?
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance
When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
When time is flying, when you know there's no end to these modern blues
I've tried to live my life alone
Independence, freedom was my own
But there was a loneliness I could not ignore
I knew deep down I needed more
In my life I needed a feeling
Of a love to come over me
I felt the truth and so I prayed for
Someone like you to hold my hand
Someone like you to understand
Someone like you to stand by me
All my life, yeah, all my life, yeah
Someone like you
I remember laying eyes on you
After we spoke deep inside I knew
I can feel the happiness your soul brings to me
Your presence makes my world complete
And I know you know what I'm feeling
There's a love coming over me
And it's true, what I've waited for
Your sweet and precious love, yeah
Someone like you to hold my hand
Someone like you to understand
Someone like you to stand by me
All my life, yeah, all my life, yeah
Someone like you
I felt there was an emptiness
I didn't know what was missing
I didn't know how to quench it
You are the answer to all my prayers
You are the one that I needed
You are the one I believe in
Oh, I believe in
Someone like you to hold my hand
Someone like you to understand
Someone like you to stand by me
All my life, yeah, oh baby
Someone like you to hold my hand
Someone like you to understand
Someone like you to stand by me
All my life, all my life, yeah
Someone like you
Someone like you
Sundown coming down too soon, no time to be alone
So I'll take a glass of memories and understand the blues
Oh they're the last thing you lose
Slowdown sundown, all I really need is time
For faded love songs and feelings in the wine
Let them take me down the line
Sunrise, a woman's eyes, good loving one warm afternoon
Here's to all the strong ones who don't care if they win
The kind I'll never see again
Slowdown, give me just a little while
It's not the darkness, it's just the night's so long
Puts the sadness in the song
Here's to someday when someone understands it
Why life keeps turning like a mad thing
Until that someday I'll just play what I have to play though I play it alone
Slowdown sundown, all I really need is time
For faded love songs and feelings in the wine
Baby's eyes - feel them looking at me
Realize what I would have her see
Realize how dark this world can be
That's why I better keep shining, shining, keep shining right down the line
Love's a light - it keeps leading us on
When it's right, it'll shine till we're gone
keep it bright out there in the unknown
You know we better keep shining, shining, keep shining right down the line
Here's my shining song, I hope you can see it
Here's my shining song, from the heart
Here's my shining song, and I know you need it
If we keep shining on, we'll never shine alone
Love the night, 'cause that's when I hold you
Feel the might of all the things we do
Oh, the sight when we're both coming through
I love you 'cause you keep shining, shining
Keep shining right down the line
So shine - just show the world how bright the world can be
Let it shine - so every heart can see
Shining star - lead us on through our lives
You're so far, but your light still arrives
Shining star, shine for all who still cry
It helps to know you're still shining, shining
Go down babe a slot machine to take my dime
Cunning diversion to pass the time
Flash in the pan a weekend trip in any town
She'll light the fuse and watch you drown
From a cut-price lady to second-hand woman
You're society's slave babe you're an ugly rumor
Go down babe a slot machine to take my dime
Cunning diversion to pass the time
I wanted to say please don't go away today
You walk and talk and move around in circles
Your friends telling you, you are doing fine
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles
Through the shattered membranes of your mind
If I could talk to you for just one minute
Then you would know what it is I am getting at
But there again your head's got nothing in it
By the way, you left without your hat
I'm walking in the wind
Looking at the sky
Hanging on a breeze
Wondering why, why?
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off
The joker you've got is fading too
All the sharks that come around for the rip-off
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder
At the silver glittered boys, trying, trying to compete
And all at once the room begins to thunder
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet
I'm walking in the wind
Looking at the sky
Hanging on a breeze
Wondering, why?
The prostitute is standing on the corner
Suffering so much pain to stay alive
She's so real that life itself bows down before her
She couldn't make that nine to five
The president is crying, crying in the White House
The prime minister's really got the blues
All the heads of state are busy playing cat and mouse
'Cause you can see none of them have ever paid their dues
I'm walking in the wind
Looking at the sky
Hanging on a breeze
And I'm wondering, why, why, why, why?
Pretty Polly Possum, what's wrong with you?
Your body's kinda weak and you think there's nothing we can do
Good golly, Polly, shame on you
'Cause Molly made a stew that'll make a new girl out of you
So follow me, it's good for you
That good old fashioned medicated goo
Ooh, ain't it good for you?
My own, home-grown recipe'll see you through
Freaky Freddy Frolic, had some I know
He was last seen picking green flowers in a field of snow
Get ready, Freddy, they're sure to grow
Mother Nature just blew it and there's nothing really to it, I know
So follow me, it's good for you
That good old fashioned medicated goo
Ooh, ain't it good for you?
My own, home-grown recipe'll see you through
Aunty Franny Prickett and Uncle Lou
They made some goo, now they really sock it to their friends
Frantic friends and neighbors charge the door
They caught a little whiff, now they're digging it and seeking more
More, more
So follow me, it's good for you
That good old fashioned medicated goo
Ooh, ain't it good for you?
My own, home-grown recipe'll see you through
So follow me, it's good for you
That good old fashioned medicated goo
Ooh, ain't it good for you?
Say, it's all right
(It's all right)
Say, it's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cos it's all right, whoa, it's all right
We're gonna move it slow
When lights are low
When you move it slow?
'Cos it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Now listen to the beat
And tap your feet
You got soul, everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right
When you wake up early in the morning
Feeling sad like so many of us do
Have a little soul, may love grow old
But surely someone's got to come to you
(It's all right)
Say, it's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cos it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Everybody clap your hands
Give yourself a chance
You got soul, everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right
One day I found me a woman
And she loved and treated me nice
When my road gotta go
And my love she will know
From morning to the night
(It's all right)
Say, it's all right
(It's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cos it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Everybody clap your hands

Rainmaker, rainmaker
The sky is gray just by the touch of your hand
Rainmaker, rainmaker
Make me some rain, make all my crops grow tall
Rainmaker, rainmaker
The sky is gray, the ground is so hard
It's been cracked by the sun
See you on the avenue
And I know you?re gonna be
Hearing secret harmonies, yeah, yeah
It?s a very fine line, a trembling leaf
?Tween the heaven here on earth
And mystery you?ve witnessed in your own dreams
As the stars shine with magic illusion
And the sirens sing up from the streets
Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising
Hear the beat, feel the heat
Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising
Blue is what you make it, babe
No one else can make you cry
While seasons mark your proud beliefs, yeah
And the passion fills your eyes with sodium light
And the secrets that you hold within you
Should be mine and mine alone now, yeah
Well, it?s love not illusion, that?s what I want
And the music that flows from the streets at night
Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising
Hear the beat, feel the heat
Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising
Take the rhythm now
For it rolls on all through the town
Close your eyes, take your prize
Just as I stumble through the heat and I remember
As I wander through the streets, I remember ancient beats
Though the sidewalk burns my feet, I surrender
As the stars shine with magic illusion
And the sirens sing up from the street
Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising
Hear the beat, feel the heat
Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising, Phoenix rising
Take the rhythm now
For it rolls on all through the town
Close your eyes, take your prize
And it's a fact, you are cold
They react, dream Gerrard
Hippos don't wear hats
Lobsters shriek if provoked
On long blue ribbons
That he may see
While he sleeps
Monsieur old Neddy
He wears spectacles in
Bed that he
May see dreams more clearly
The night, it will be black
And white raven croaking
I am thirsty, die
They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality
I scream from a skull
Fritz, bring your wigwam
They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
They think it should be done
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
With reality, with reality
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
A gangster came to see by boy
When I was working nights to pay one more bill
He promised the kid a sweeter life
Said, "Gotta understand it's dog eat dog out there"
Well, I looked in his room when I got home
And underneath the covers found a loaded gun
He looked at me with empty eyes
He said, "It's time for me to be moving on"
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
I spoke to my woman the other day
She said, "I need more cash, we can't pay our way"
She said, "Everything gets really hard
And I need something sweet, don't you understand?"
The roar of the train runs by my room
And on these summer nights I can't sleep anymore
I walk in the streets to greet the dawn
Or stay at home all night and stare at the floor
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
Help me now, move on to a higher ground
Help somehow, make a move to a higher ground
Won't you help somehow? Make a move to higher ground
Won't you help somehow? I need a little help
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
Where's the pity, I can't move on up to higher ground
Dirty city, this is a dirty town
So glad, I'm so glad
Sometimes, I'm so glad to be alive
On a brave new morning smiling at the sky
Every shadow of the past whispers goodbye
There is hope if you can see
I give it all to you, you give it all to me
Every winter has the sun within its heart
And everything we think we knew we can forget
Maybe far but not apart
I know it's getting better and it will be better yet
So fly
'Cause I know what you're feeling
When it turns out that way
And that emotion is healing
And we can fly
Climbed a mountain just to see the other side
We start with nothing 'cause there's nothing left to hide
I believe in every new day
I'll never be that man who threw it all away
In the valley there's a river running through
Wherever it may take me I will follow you
There's an answer to all the rain
It's when I turn around and hear you say my name
So fly
'Cause I know what you're feeling
When it turns out that way
And that emotion is healing
And we can fly, flying, flying, flying
Oh what you're healing
'Cause there is nothing but clouds in your way
As we face the day
So the time has come but I will say a prayer
As the day breaks, I know I will meet you there
By the shoreline ever changing
I give my word to you, you gave your word to me
So the morning has a song to feed my soul
It was divided but with you it feels whole
There's a life only we know
And there's a secret place where only we can go
So fly
'Cause I know what you're feeling
When it turns out that way
And that emotion is healing
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went 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
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
I'm going down to rose dale, take my rider by my side
I'm going down to rose dale, 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
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown
Moving on, no abode
Through the day and night, bridle road
Turning from the thirsty day
Time is right to slip away
Cigano, it?s a road to anywhere
Little old sky for shelter
Freedom, all you have to bear
Cigano, a never ending road, secret destination
Lonely fire, darkened sky
Never staying, just passing by
At the crossroads, horses fed
Guided by stars overhead
Cigano, it?s a road to anywhere
Little old sky for shelter
Freedom, all you have to bear
Cigano, a never ending road, secret destination
Destiny foretold
Moving on, no abode
Through the day and night, bridle road
Turning from the thirsty day
Time is right to slip away
Cigano, it?s a road to anywhere
Little old sky for shelter
Freedom, all you have to bear
Cigano, it's a never ending road
Taking his existence, destiny foretold
Cigano, a road to anywhere
Little old sky for shelter
Freedom, all you have to bear
Cigano, a never ending road, a secret destination
Destiny foretold
Sometimes it's hard to express what you feel
While trying to say the things that are real
I don't wanna fight 'cause fighting just brings pain
Just wanna hold you in my loving arms again
Let me see the sunlight shining in your eyes
Touch the wind and feel blue sky
I've had all I can tell all your troubles and strife
Let me make something
Let me make something in your life
Sometimes I catch myself talking loud
While turning around I get lost in a crowd
Then all my thoughts is being scared and get lost
'Cause I paid for my freedom a too bad cost
Let me see the sunlight shining in your eyes
Touch the wind and feel blue sky
I've had all I can tell all your troubles and strife
Let me make something
Let me make something in your life
I've been so lonely and I've been so blue
But without you, there's nothing I can do
Why can't we try and make amends?
We used to be good friends, why, why not now?
I don't want to lose you, we don't have to say goodbye
Why can't we try and make amends?
We used to be good friends, why, why not now?
Some say, "I know", others say, "I don't"
That's alright now
What I'm sayin' every day is that love will find a way
That's no lie now
When the road's getting tough and you think you've had enough
Don't give up now
Show the world how you feel, gonna let them know you're real
Don't be shy now, don't be shy now
(Let your love come down)
Let it flow now
Just let it flow now, baby, yeah

It brings a tear to my eye when I begin to realise
I cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Why can't you come on home to me and I won't be all alone
If you don't think that you'll be home soon to me baby
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true into each life
Some rain, a little rain must fall
I'm so blue here without you
It keeps on raining, pouring for you
Why can't you come on home to me and I won't be all alone
If you don't say that, love, that you'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
When I wake up in the morning, I think
I think that I'm gonna drown in my own tears
I can't stand the pain of love
When you get all the love
I can't stand the pain of life
I can't even stand the shock.
But when I hear you say
That you will go away
And leave me someday
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
I can't stand it
When you stand close to me
You makes me kind of weak
And when you hold me tight
My poor heart skips a beat
And when I hear you say
That you will go away
And leave me someday
I can't stand it (etc)
When you're standin' close to me
You make me kinda weak
And when you hold me tight
My poor heart skips a beat
And when I hear you say
That you will go away
And leave me someday
Out of the night burning with light
Train shining black, I won't look back, life is running
Hoping some day someone will say I got it made
Pull up the shade, let the sun in
Down on the night train, I feel the starlight steal away
Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day
Border patrol looking through me
Towns without names all look the same, I hear crying
Paris to Spain, countries in pain
Caught up in flight, feeling the sight, Europe dying
Rolling on, hear the wheels singing, fever keep coming on so strong
My ticket paid, trying to fade
I hope I get there not just somewhere I was leaving
Out in the dark all the wolves bark
I fold my arms try to keep warm by believing
Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on
Every time I see you, girl, it makes me feel so sad
Knowing you've been seeing some other guy that treats you bad
Did you know I'm burning deep inside for you?
Just give me the chance now and we can see it through
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man
Gonna take you with me far away from hearts of stone
We'll live in the country and raise some children of our own
I will be your lover, I will be your friend
I'll give you my loving, on that you can depend
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man
And there'll be no more crying, I'll make your dreams come true
You know I'll never turn my back on you
Take you to the city, girl, we're gonna buy some clothes
Dress you up so pretty and then we'll take in all the shows
Find a place that's jumping, where the music's tight
And we'll keep on dancing 'til the morning light
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your one and only man, oh yeah
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your man
Know I'm gonna give you everything I can
If you'll be my woman, I'll be your man,
There'll be no more running, gonna make a stand
Take me away beyond the night
Take me away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can I go
Except for the show?
And sometime from now -and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
And you see it, can you see it?
Let me tell you' bout someone I knew
Communicated but he didn't know how
Telepathy
Met a lady but he didn't know who
Midland maniac
Pouring out his soul to me
He's a prisoner but he thinks he's free
He has no one in the world to be
Let me tell you 'bout a thing or two
I sail the ocean just to get to you
Telepathy
I hear you calling but you can't get through
Midland maniac
Pouring out my soul to you
I hope you get it and I know you do
That is one thing I can do for you
Take you away beyond the night
Take you away before the day
Happens nowhere else but here
Where can i go- except for the show?
And sometime from now-and it won't be long
I'm gonna stay in my home country
Lips that are as warm could be
Lips that speak too soon
Lips that tell a story
Sad and deep as you
Smile that's warm as summer sun
Smile that gets you through
Sad and deep you
Eyes that the windows
Eyes that are the dew
Eyes that tell a story
Sad and deep as you
Tears that are unspoken words
Tears that are the truth
Tears that tell a story
When the night comes rollin' and the day is through
Then I come strollin' down that avenue
Baby, I got what no one can give you - all my lovin'
All the guys wanna get down with you
But there ain't no one that's got my rhythm
'Cause I'm the lord of the street, no one can compete with my love for you
Said I'm the lord of the street, you got the kinda heat brings me close to you
Oh, I can't get enough of it, let me dance for you
When I start movin' you'll be dancing too
You and I gonna rock together, our hearts are burning
We'll take on all kinds of weather
Girl, this night's gonna last forever
The power to love someone up above is good to me
Some people get lonely
While some people get blue
But nobody can tell you
Just what you should do
Somebody is laughing
Somebody is crying
While one child is born
There's somebody dying
You hold the key
In the palm of your hand, my love
And it seems to me
There ain't no sense in cryin' in heaven above
There's something about you
I don't know what you got
You and me girl
We're gonna give it a shot
Feel my luck's in
I feel like I'm flying
I don't want to see
Nobody crying
If you saw my love
Then you'd know what I mean
She's the only one
That makes this world like a dream
I think it's amazing just
What you can do
When somebody wants you
And their love is true
Hot love is a fire
And you can get burned
I once was cryin'
Now my luck's turned
Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like I've had enough
Sometimes you feel like you've been hired
Sometimes you feel like you've been bought
Sometimes you feel like your room's been wired
Sometimes you feel like you've been caught
But don't let it get you down, no, no
There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might beat up
But by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Somebody's laughing while someone is crying
Oh, for to want in the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
I'm gonna cave with all I see, yeah
I don't know who's losing
And I don't care who's winning
Hardships and trouble are following me
But don't let it get you down, no, no
There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might beat up
But by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Somebody's laughing while someone is crying
Oh, for to want in the close of the day
Sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
I'm gonna cave with all I see, yeah
I don't know who's losing
And I don't care who's winning
Give it up, give it up, you know what's on my mind
Give it up, give it up, you've been wasting too much time
You know I got what you want, c'mon, you're 'bout to blow my mind
Give it up, give it up, you've been wasting too much time
Give it, give it up, yeah, you know what's on my mind
Yeah!
Patiently I've waited, baby, waited just for you
And I ain't gonna move an inch until you do what you're supposed to do
You've got your thing together, I can dig it too
And that's the very reason I'm stickin' here with you
Give it, give it up, you know what I'm talking about (can you dig it?)
Give it up, give it up, yeah, you make me shout
Give it to me
You may think you're lookin' cool but I know what's on your mind
And if you want to get with me you gotta spend a little more time
I ain't the kind of girl that falls, falls at the drop of a hat
I can see right through your game, I just ain't goin' for that
Give it up, give it up, baby, don't take so long
It's right around the corner, get it and bring it on home
Give it, give it up, yeah, you make me shout
Give it up, give it up, you know that's what I'm talking about
Give it up, give it up, you know what I'm talking about
Wont' you give it, give it up, girl, oh, you make me shout
Won't you give it up, give it up, girl, get it and bring it on home
Give it up, give it up, girl, baby, don't take too long
Don't take so long
Well, you told me you were sorry, when I needed your advice
And I was too confused to see the meaning
Like peter, you disowned me with a voice as cold as ice
And before the fire died and they were leaving
I'm a means to an end and everybody's friend
To a richman, poorman, beggar man or thief
From my heart I send a messenger to bend
And take your mind from agony and grief
Oh, sweet silence without kings and queens
No one here has ever reached your centre
Better to be quiet than to speak without a thought
Or you may lose the meaning of your venture
I'm gonna put it this a-way, all I hoped has come for me
The things you had to say, you could have told me yesterday
High high high time baby, high time you come back with me
High high high time baby, won't you come along with me?
High high time baby, who can your other man be?
Well the change has got to come, ah let me know what's wrong with me
Get that feeling in the day, in the night time too
How can you treat me this a-way? don't know all the things you do
Ah please change your mind, pretty baby, high high high time
High high high time baby, won't you come along with me?
High high time baby, who can your other man be?
Well the change has got to come, pretty baby, let me know what's wrong with me, come on
I'm gonna put it this a-way, (? )
The things you have to say, you could have told me yesterday
High high high time baby, high time you gotta back with
Come on come on come on baby, come on home with me
Ah come on come on baby, come on home with me
Well a change has got to come, ah let me know what's wrong with me
Come on come on come on come on baby, I wanna know, I wanna know
Come on come on come on baby, who can the other man be
Well the change has got to come
You may be a sharp dresser, you may be a fantastic dancer, you may be a lively conversationalist, but what happens at the end of the evening when the time comes to show how you feel? unless you
Iss with confidence all your fancy dressing, dancing and talking won't get you a second date.
I'd meet a boy I really liked
I'd start to win his heart
Come the time to kiss good-night
I always fell apart
I'd giggle like I had no brains
Or else I'd start to cough
I thought my perspiration stains
Would turn a fellow off
She was nervous
She was too shy
She was breathless
Lips were too dry
Hands were shaking
Didn't know why
Do you want to kiss this person? then be honest - what is keeping you from kissing with confidence? worries. some of them can be put to rest if you ask yourself a few simple questions before kissing.
Is your breath fresh?
Do your have spinach on your teeth?
Is your deodorant strong enough?
You may also find yourself worrying about what will happen once you are in the act of kissing. will your stomach growl? will your braces lock? will you be able to prolong the kiss and still breathe?
Will I spoil it with my overbite?
Will our noses bump in the moonlight?
When our lips meet, will they fit right?
These worries are best cleared from the mind by the romance chant method, a technique which will also place your lips naturally in kissing position. hableme el unico del mundo. digame: comoe te hace ese sonido. tan glorioso. que aun hoba con anticipation de el. me ha reducio a un bestia. grunedo. entusiomandose y paliptando. practice this chant in the morning as you rise, in the evening as you retire and just before a date.
Once you have mastered these techniques there is only one worry left - will it go too far? it never will if you remain alert to these danger signals - heavy breathing, wandering hands, strong heartbeats. a nice way to maintain self-control without offending the other person is to say -- "i'm not ready to handle what I think is coming", then you both go home and daydream. tomorrow you can start again fresh. just remember - you can not get pregnant from kissing.
I put an end to worrying, I learned the way from will
And showed me kissing with confidence was an acquired skill
When my boyfriends get too hot I can cool 'em down
Now I'm kissing with confidence everywhere in town
In the schoolyard
At the front door
In the laundromat
At the drug store
At the car wash
In the back yard
At the dairy queen
On a side street
In the basement
On the rooftop
At the drive in
At the stop and shop
On the back porch
At the candy store
On the boardwalk
By the seashore
In the balcony
At the malt shop
In the parking lot
On the blacktop
Once you can kiss with confidence, think of others these techniques will help. do you know someone who drools when he kisses or burps or bites? why not do them a favor and send them this record anonymously?
Got my mo-jo working but it just won't work on you.
Got my mo-jo working but it just won't work on you.
I want to love you so till I don't know what to do.
I got my black cat bones all pure and dry.
I got a four leaf clover all hanging high.
Got my mo-jo working but it just won't work on you.
Got my mo-jo working but it just won't work on you.
Oh, I want to love you so till I don't know what to do.
Got my voodoo ashes all around your bed.
Got my black snake boots underneath your head.
Got my mo-jo working but it just won't work on you.
I got a gypsy woman giving me advice.
I got some red hot tips I have to keep on ice.
Got my mo-jo working but it just won't work on you.
I got my rabbit's foot. I know it's working right.
I got your strand of hair, I kiss it day and night.
I can't believe she's goin'
I said please show me
What selfish seeds I plant along the way
Black harvest today
The empty bed she left me
Cold on one side
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you?
Can I cope with today?
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
But I'll control my feelings
I find faith, healing
And I'll find hope singing
The way is so long
But I'm gonna be strong
Oh what a turn around
Soon, someday I'll be bound
And I'll cope with today
My love is leavin'
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
Can't believe, only me
Shadows in purple thrill me
I cry myself awake each night
I can't believe that it's true
Here am I, where are you, my love?
Breathing your perfume
Chills me
Dreams never lie
Is it true, asking you?
My love is leavin' me
Still I'm hoping she'll stay
My love is leavin' me
That's what you heard
I'm free as a bird
Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin' me
Leavin, my love is leavin'
'Cause my love is leavin' me
That's what you heard
'Coz I'm free as a bird
My love is leavin', leavin'
Leavin', leavin'
My love is leavin'
Following the shadows of the skies
Or are they only figments of my eyes?
And I'm feeling close to where the race is run
Waiting in our boats to set sail, sea of joy
Once the door swings open into space
And I'm already waiting in disguise
Or is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail, sea of joy
Having trouble coming through
Through this concrete, blocks my view
And it's all because of you
Or is it just a thorn between my eyes?
Waiting in our boats to set sail, sea of joy
Oh oh darling, you're starting to get next to me
Oh darling, I never thought that this could be, oh yeah
Your lips set my soul on fire, you're gonna be my one desire
Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine
Oh oh darling, I've been to see the preacher man
Oh darling, I've started making wedding plans, oh yeah
Your lips set my soul on fire, you're gonna be my one desire
Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine
I keep on telling you, baby
(I think it's gonna work out fine)
Oh stop what you're doing to me baby
(I think it's gonna work out fine)
I can feel it coming on
(I think it's gonna work out fine)
Oh I'm so glad that you're mine, all mine
Remember you used to call me dapper dan
Oh I was your real, your real ever loving man, oh yeah
Your lips set my soul on fire, you're gonna be my one desire
Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine
I keep on telling you, baby
(I think it's gonna work out fine)
Oh stop what you're doing to me baby
(I think it's gonna work out fine)
I can feel it coming on
(I think it's gonna work out fine)
Oh I'm so glad that you're mine, all mine
Remember you used to call me dapper dan
I was your real, your real ever loving man, oh yeah
If your love is half as true as the love I offer you
Oh darling I think it's gonna work out fine
Alternate title: Close Your Eyes
Close your eyes and you'll do very well
No more lies and no more fairy tales
Hanging out, out on the street
You have no place left to go
If the whole world passes you by
Don't you cry
Close your eyes and don't feel anything
Lullabies are all that I will sing
Stay right here, wait for the night
Let it come down over you
You've seen all you wanted to see
Stay with me
Chorus:
When there's no more right from wrong
You still have the night so long
And the silence is your song
And you know where you belong
Close your eyes, the white owl's on the wing
Hear her cries, and take the sleep she brings
When the clouds fill up the sky
And the shadows hide the moon
Sleep will give you all that is left -
Emptiness
Chorus (repeat three times and fade)
Everything really is stupidly simple
And yet all around is utter confusion
Fairy tales written may help you to see it
Do you understand about Lewis's Alice?
We fit all our lives into regular patterns
All that we really know is that we're really living
(spoken:
The man that seeks the world, his wisdom seeks to know his mind
And knowing where his feet should walk, and when he should or should not talk
And have a friend to find
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet
The hermit sits inside his cave and seeks to know his mind
Staring into empty space and seeing things in people's faces others cannot find
Don't look around to find the sound that's right beneath your feet)
We've nothing to hide so why try to hide it?
I know there are some but they're screwed up inside
If you need a reason for all this I'm singing
Help me angel
Plant my feet a little higher
Help me angel
I've been too close to the fire
Help me angel
Make my dream a little brighter
Help me angel
Help me turn on all the lights
You've seen all the sights
You've lived through all the nights
You've got something I have to know
'Cause I've still got far to go
Help me angel
'Cause it's so dark everywhere
Help me angel
Find the magic in the air
When sun's going down
And light leaving town
Something's shining deep in your eyes
Sunday morning, endless sunrise
You've got what I have to find
We had the stars-they kept shining
Where they led us we followed
Two for love-wandering
I look back-here's what I see
We were outside-there was Paris-it was raining
And we felt everything
In a crowded street in london-happiness
And we were so alive
And your soul was a wide and deep blue sea
I would drown, and you'd rescue me
And we lived our life like a story
Clear to the ending
It was happiness-so clear-happiness
Happiness-no tears-happiness
Can't keep time from its running
Soon the best times are over
Photographs-hold me
And I see how good we were
There was that day out in Carmel, California
With no clothes in the sun
In a crowded street in London-happiness
And then it all goes by
So I drink to the past and what still will be
One day I'll be a memory
But I lived my life like a story
Had a dream last night, the angels had come riding
In the light of day where there was no more hiding
All so fine, I still see them shine
I saw angels play right in the light of day
And I watched them fly across a fiery sky
And I heard their cry as they passed me by
I could feel the light inside me, I could feel it everywhere
Life was clear and fair
Woke up in the dark and tried to keep believing
In the light I saw, in time of constant grieving
Vision fair, please don't disappear
And please hear my prayer there in the light of day
When I look within I see them shine again
As the darkness ends and the light begins
I can feel the light inside me, I can feel it everywhere
They are all still there
On the street tonight the innocent are dying
And the world's not right, so many millions crying
Evil lives and hate never gives, hell is never far
And is this all we are?
Oh, Lord, hear us cry, up in the fiery sky
That our souls may fly to you when we die
Help us feel the light inside us, help us feel it everywhere
Oh, Lord, be there
Oh, what a shambles
Has been my day
I know I have to go to work
But I wanna play
Well, I'm lookin' at my watch
And it's almost half past three
And it's time for tea
And I don't want nobody tellin'
Trying to tell me what I have to do
And what I have to be
You know, I just wanna have some fun
Yeah, now come on and have a party
Yeah, well, have some fun
Let me tell you now, all through the day
The night's been on my mind
Now I've got myself together, baby
And you're lookin' fine, so fine
And I'm lookin' at my watch
And it's almost half past eight
Now then don't be late
I don't want nobody tellin'
Telling me and you
Who we have to be or what we have to do
I know you've got some lovin'
It's something we can share
We're gonna have a big night out
Even if they say we ain't goin' nowhere
I see you walkin' to my car
Lookin' like something sweet to eat
Girl, you're my brightest star
Come on, now, let's get it, let's get it
Everybody on the dance floor
Everybody get up
Everybody keep movin'
There were three men came out of the west
Their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die
They've plowed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in
Threw clods upon his head
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn was dead
They've let him lie for a very long time
'Til the rains from Heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprung up his head
And so amazed them all
They've let him stand till Midsummer's Day
'Til he looked both pale and wan
And little Sir John's grown a long long beard
And so become a man
They've hired men with their scythes so sharp
To cut him off at the knee
They've rolled him and tied him by the way
Serving him most barbarously
They've hired men with their sharp pitchforks
Who've pricked him to the heart
And the loader, he has served him worse than that
For he's bound him to the cart
They've wheeled him around and around a field
'Til they came onto a pond
And there they made a solemn oath
On poor John Barleycorn
They've hired men with their crab tree sticks
To cut him skin from bone
And the miller, he has served him worse than that
For he's ground him between two stones
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl
And his brandy in the glass
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl
Proved the strongest man at last
The huntsman he can't hunt the fox
Nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker he can't mend kettle nor pots
Used to live in the danger zone, any day it could get too rough
Now I'm glad I kept holding on, now I'm glad I had soul enough
You turned night into day and showed me how my soul could sing
You took my hurt away and showed me love conquers anything
When two hearts both feel the same, there's a way to beat the game
Holding on, now I'm standing in the light
Holding on, and this time I've got it right
Holding on, every day and every night
Holding on.
Fall asleep in your lover's arms and it's just like it ought to be
Just be thankful she keeps you warm in a world where there's nothing free
Give her love every day and pay attention when she dreams
And she'll be good to you 'cause sometimes love is just what it seems
When two hearts both feel the same, there's a way to beat the game
See the mountain water running down into streams
How it holds on forever, we'll be holding on forever
People soul-searching all night long for a reason to help them live
And I do hope they hear this song, get through take and you get to give
It can be in a smile, it can be there in a touch
Hold on to me when you're falling
when you're falling down to the ground
Hold on to me when you feel like
When you feel like you can't go on
Don't be afraid I'll never refuse you
playing with a broken heart that's lame again
Don't be ashamed to reach out and take my helping hand
it's so easy to be, to be free,
all you got to do is
hold on to me when you're falling
hold on to me when you're falling down
hold on to me when you're falling down to the ground.
(Hold on to me when you're falling, Hold on to me when you're falling)
Reach out to me when you're crying
When you're crying out in the rain
Reach out to me when you feel like when you
feel like you can't stand the pain.
Don't be ashamed to hold your head up
Walking to this state of mind aint' no big deal
Don't be afraid to reach out and there's a friendly sky
Take your clue. all you've got to do is...
Hold on to me etc....
Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up
Just sittin' 'round creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter showin' where our minds are at,
And relating to each other just how strong our will can be
In resisting all involvments with each groovy chick we see
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone
And I've never had no problems and my toliet's trimmed with gold
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Cry, you would cry in my arms
Far, far from the world and its harms
That kind of love begun is never done
I'll be here at close of day
When you bring your heart home to stay
I will be here when you call
I will be here standing tall
I will be here, you won't fall
Don't you know that love will save us after all?
Come - when cold winter blows
Come - when sweet summer glows
And all your wandering years will disappear
There are places inside the heart
We'll touch like we've done from the start
Almighty time rolls on, let's not spend it all alone
We are here, then we're gone
I can feel the music deep down inside of me
When I see the new day rising, h it sets me free
Like a melody coming, what will it be?
I love life again though I don't know how this day will finally end
Each day is music - reach till I find the song
Every day I keep on singing
Every day, every day, every day, oh lord
Every day, every day, every day, oh lord
And my soul is still strong, every day I sing my song
What a world of trouble we are all asked to bear
But we have to keep on living, find our strength somewhere
And I choose to keep on hoping, faith is still there
There are mysteries unbound, there is truth we've lost and found
The song lines are there, they will bring us back around
Deep in the heart they play, every day
Love life again, though you don't know how this day will finally end
Each day is music - reach till you find the song
Every day just keep on singing
Reaching for the stars, for the song of us all
Looking through the lonely night for a faith that will not fall for morning
Glad I'm here when morning comes, here when morning comes
One more day to keep on singing

Thy will be done
You came into my life, you made it alright
You showed me who I could be
You gave me your vision gave me inspiration
You helped my eyes to see
When I worked out what you
Had worked in me
I found out how precious
Life can be, so
Fill me up with your love
(Thy will be done)
Fill me up with your tenderness
Fill me up with your love
Fill me up and help me to grow
There was a time when I was blind
I had no faith, I had no pride, no
I wasted lots of precious time
Thinking of myself and my own mind
Then you picked me up
And revealed your love
You shined your light on me
And renewed my soul, so
(Fill me up, fill me up)
Bring your lovin' home to me
(Fill me up, fill me up)
Show me how love's supposed to be
(Fill me up, fill me up)
Bring your lovin' home to me
(Fill me up, fill me up)
Show me how love can grow
Then you picked me up
And revealed your love
You shined your light on me
Keep on talking all you want
Well you don't waste a minute of time
Who cares, who knows what's true
Coffee and tears the whole night through
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk you're talking away
Who cares, who knows what's true
Your wounded pride is burning you up
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
You're sounding good to me now keep talking on
I want to hear the worst you got no right going around
Talking 'bout the things that you do, that you do
Keep on talking all you want
Well you don't waste a minute of time
Who cares, who knows what's true
Coffee and tears the whole night through
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill
There's an freedom overspill come on
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
You're sounding good to me now keep talking on
I want to hear the worst you got no right going around
Talking 'bout the things that you do
Talking 'bout the things you do
Force of habit, you could say
The way they talk you're talking away
Who cares, who knows what's true
Your wounded pride is burning you up
Burning up on midnight oil
And it's come right back on you
Freedom overspill, oh freedom overspill
Freedom overspill, oh freedom overspill
Freedom overspill, freedom overspill
Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom, freedom over, overspill
Freedom, freedom, freedom, overspill
US version:
Well, my temperature's rising and my feet hit the floor
Twenty people knocking 'cause they're wanting some more
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you've got
But you'd better take it easy, 'cause this place is hot
(Chorus)
So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You got to gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day
Well, I feel so good, everything is sounding hot
Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do
Wait a minute, baby, it could happen to you
(Chorus)
Well, I feel so good, everybody's getting higher
Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day, nothing went too good
Now I'm gonna relax, honey, everybody should
(Chorus)
The Eight Gigs a Week (UK) version:
Hey!
Well my temperature's rising and my feet left the floor
Crazy people knockin' 'cos they're wanting some more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot
And I'm so glad we made it, so glad we made it
I want you gimme some a-lovin', gimme some a-lovin'
Gimme some a-lovin' every day
Hey!
Well my head's exploding and I'm floating to sound
Too much is happening 'cos you're around
It's been a hard day and nothing went too good
I'm gonna relax like everybody should
And I'm so glad we made it, so glad we made it
I want you gimme some a-lovin', gimme some a-lovin'
Gimme some a-lovin' every day
Hey!
Well I feel so good, everything is getting hot
You'd better take some time off 'cos the place is on fire
Better start baby 'cos I have so much to do
We made it baby and it happened to you
And I'm so glad we made it, so glad we made it
Right now! (gimme some a-lovin')
Every day (gimme some a-lovin')

Gimme some a-lovin' every day (gimme some a-lovin')
Hey baby (gimme some a-lovin')
Oo oo (gimme some a-lovin')
Every day (gimme some a-lovin')
I had a drink, I saw a fight
I glanced across the smoke filled room
And I began to think of my baby
I wonder what I'm doing here
All on my own, it isn't clear
I miss her smile, I miss her touch
I know that I just have to see my baby
I gotta get back, whoa, back to my baby
Gotta get back, whoa, back to my baby
I had to have a change of scene
And rid my mind of everything
The realization came to me
The only place to be was with my baby
I've gotta leave this place I'm in
And get back to my love again
I packed my bags and headed home
It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
And I missed you there
It's already written that today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as being outside of the law
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free
Had to cry today
Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there
Had to cry today
Had to cry today
Had to cry today
Night was falling and my chances were low
Nothing was happening, I was ready to go
Then I saw her walking through that door
And I knew right then I had to get me some more
Moved up close, up next to the bar
There she sat, lookin' like a movie star
Went up and asked her, 'Do you mind if I sit?'
She said, 'No, but if you see a chance, you'd better take it.'
Just the two of us sat talking together
The music and people all drifting away
Hearts on fire, burning with love
We were written in the stars above
Take us higher to the things that we know
There's no other place we can go
Told her everything that happened to me
A thousand limousines and the women for free
She said, 'That's when these words'll ring true -
You ain't nobody 'till somebody loves you.'
Love came to me the minute I saw her
I wanted to make her part of my life
Just the two of us sat talking together
Time they call the universal healer
But you're back every three days, settling all around me
A feather duster's no substitute for the real thing
And the dust you left behind is settling still
With you dawn never tasted so good
Swept up like debris on a Saturday night, did we ever have fun?
The dust, the gentle legacy You left behind
Is falling softly on my mind
Dust, the timeless memory of you
I love you, I do for all the little things you do
And I guess I always will
The dust settles again to remind me still
Of a memories I've cherished so long
Hold me close to your side
'Cause my love won't decay anymore
Memories of hope of those long summer days
And the dust you left behind is settling still
With you dawn never tasted so good
Swept up like debris on a Saturday night, did we ever have fun?
And the dust, the gentle legacy, You left behind
Is falling softly on my mind
Dust, the timeless memory of you
I love you, I do for all the little things you do
And I guess I always will
The dust settles again to remind me still
Of a memories I've cherished so long
Feeling your body stretched so long
What was it, went so wrong?
That our love, our love it was gone, oh it was gone
But our friendship going strong, gone strong, so much strong, oh
Going strong, going strong, oh
Feeling your body stretched so long, stretched so long
What was it, went so wrong, went wrong
That our love, that our love it was gone, gone, gone, gone
But our friendship going strong, gone strong
Found someone who can comfort me
But there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane
But I just want you to know
She's the one makes me feel so good
When everything is against me
Picks me up when I'm feeling down
So I've got something to show
Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages
Flowing along in the ages
Often lost and forgotten
The vagueness and the mud
I've been thinking, I'm working too hard
But I've got something to show
Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages
Flowing along in the ages
Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages
Flowing along in the ages
Often lost and forgotten
The vagueness and the mud
I've been thinking, I'm working too hard
But I've got something to show, you know
Found someone who can comfort me
But there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane
Been downhearted, baby, ever since the day we met
I been downhearted, baby, ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get
My love is like a fire but your love is like a cigarette
My love is like a fire but baby, yours is like a cigarette
I watched you step down on it, baby, and crush it
Tell me, how how how blue can you get
You're evil when I'm with you and you're jealous when we're apart
Yes, you're evil when I'm with you baby, lord have mercy, you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get ? right here in my heart
I gave you a brand new ford but you said, "i want a cadillac"
I bought you a ten-dollar dinner, you said, "thanks for the snack"
I let you live in my penthouse, you said it was just a shack
I gave you seven children and now you wanna give 'em back
I been downhearted, baby, ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get
When life is too much, roll with it, baby
Don't stop and lose your touch, oh no, baby
Hard times knocking on your door
I'll tell them you ain't there no more
Get on through it, roll with it, baby
Luck'll come and then slip away,Yu've gotta move, bring it back to stay
You just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, roll with it, baby
Hang on and just roll with it, baby
The way that you love is good as money
I swear by stars above, sweet as honey
People think you're down and out
You show them what it's all about
You can make it, roll with it, baby
When this world turns its back on you
Hang in and do that sweet thing you do
You just roll with it, baby
You just roll with it, baby
Come on and just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby
Now there'll be a day you'll get there, baby
You'll hear the music play, you'll dance, baby
You'll leave bad times way behind
Nothing but good times on your mind
You can do it, roll with it, baby
Then you'll see life will be so nice
It's just a step up to paradise
You just roll with it, baby
You just roll with it, baby
You and me, just roll with it, baby
Well I'm leaving baby
I'm gonna go away from here
You know I'm leaving baby
I'm gonna go away from here
And I even gonna worry
Ain't even gonna shed a tear
Well I went to see my baby
Pulled the blind and closed the door
She said, "now, goodbye stevie,
I don't need you no more."
She's gone, I mean it here today
Leavin's so much work cause I know I'm going away
Well I'm leaving
I'm gonna go away from here
You know that I'm leaving baby
Gonna go away from here
Look out pretty baby
I ain't even gonna shed a tear
Baby, you're so good, you're so fine
Baby baby baby baby....
Look out, you're so good
Look out baby
Gonna leave this town for good
So wild, standing there, with her hands in her hair
I can't help remember just where she touched me
There's still no face here in her place
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm with the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me-call on me, Valerie
Come and see me-I'm the same boy I used to be
Love songs fill the night, but they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out just like they're dying
Her cries hang there in time somewhere
Someday, some good wind may blow her back to me
Some night I may here her like she used to be
No it can't be that warm with the wind in her arms
So cool, she was like jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet, then she just blew away
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love, I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love, I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait for it, I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love, I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love, oh
Bring me a higher love
Steve Winwood/Will Jennings
Hear the night music playing?
Don't you know what it's saying?
We should feel it together
For forever
Feel the beat and just hold on
To the sweet midnight flowing
Feel the music inside you
I'll be there too
Now's the time our dreams are finally coming true
Feels so good we're crying
Now's the time when it's down to me and you
Spread these wings-we'll be flying
Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Don't you know what the night can do?
Time to show all your feeling
All the night is revealing
Let the rhythm enfold you
Let me hold you
Now we turn into music
Now we will never lose it
When the rhythm and night ride
No heart can hide
There are times that never ever come again
Mem'ries there for the making
When the night calls, we better let it in
All this love for the taking
Don't you know what the night can do?
Don't you know when it's touching you?
Won't you help me to let it through?
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy, yeah yeah
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
It's hot down on the borderline
Running guns, he's just killing time
He keeps his back against the wall
Never trust your friends in crime
He's the quiet kind
Doesn't need a plan
You can't read his mind
He's a secret man, talking 'bout the man
You drink Mojitos with the boys
Smile as if you know what they know
You show them all your pretty toys
Make a deal, don't make a show
He's the ace of spies
With a golden hand
You can't read his eyes
'Cause he's a secret man
He's the quiet kind
Doesn't need a plan
Can't read his mind at all
He's a secret man, talking 'bout the man
He's the ace of spies
With a golden hand
You can't read his eyes
'Cause he's a secret man
He's the quiet kind
Doesn't need a plan
Can't read his mind at all
He's a secret man, talking 'bout the man
Tell me no secrets
I tell you no lies
Tell me no secrets
I tell you no lies
Tell me no secrets
I tell you no lies
Tell me no secrets
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Oh and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
You hold your broken heart out
And you say it just won't stop hurting
Like there's something I can do
The rule is so plain
Party girl play like it's laying
Pack it up-hear what I'm saying
The party's over-better walk away
Turn the page-look, and listen
Somewhere music plays
Planes leave every day
Big girls walk away
You want to play with princes
On a million dollar holiday
Butt you never met their mothers
You just go so high
Party girl just keep the earrings
Nothing else is worth a damned thing
Just save the party for another day
You know this old world is wide
And you're to catch another ride
Chorus:
Now you're back into my life again
Yeah, you're back into my life again
Yeah, you're back into my life again
And I'm so glad, Cos baby I'm so glad
(Repeat)
How could my love have been so blind
While I was searching for some piece of mind
I lost the finest girl I ever found
Baby, I need you with me all the time
You went away, away from my side
Now you're back and now I'm satisfied
Chorus
I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so excited,
I could cry
Chorus
Chorus
It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in the bright part of town
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once
Will smile and take me in
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And oh I'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
Girl you used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that you're still out there
And you're like you used to be
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance till the morning sun
And we'll let the good times come in
And we won't stop till we're done
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
High life
High life
In the high life again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time
Will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once
Will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
High life
Back in the high life
She bathes me in sweetness I cannot reveal
For sharing dreams I need my woman
This humble expression meagerly dressed
My eyes so mean it has no meaning
But jealous night and all her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone I need my love to translate
I play the piano no more running honey
This time to the sky I'll sing if clouds don't hear me
To the sun I'll cry and even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer because with you I'm stronger
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here
This time to the sky I'll sing if clouds don't hear me
To the sun I'll cry and even if I'm blinded
I'll try moon gazer because with you I'm stronger
Lean streaky music spawned on the streets I hear it but with you I had to go
'Cause my rock 'n' roll is putting on weight and the beat it goes on
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here
With you my love we're going to raid the future
With you my love we're going to stick up the past
Midnight comes and the devil's loose
What you want? He's got everything there
What you've got he'll take
And leave you in the cold
One more soul drowns, another deal goes down
The night is full of danger, another deal goes down
On the street, the refugees
From a war that was lost in the heart
No one wants to see them
And the fire is burning slow
Tell me what you're searching for, will you, sister?
Emptiness inside, you will never fill it up with another thrill
Money's spent, all the words are said
Nothing helps, streets are falling apart
Through the night they're burning and the devil's on a roll
Angel of mercy
Angel of mercy
Every little thing that can go wrong
Don't you know I realize
All the trouble that goes on so long
Restoration of it seems so wise
But when the love and the hope has gone
You're the one the world is searchin' for
Hold on for the way gets clear
For your love, for our love
That's what I'm sayin'
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me?
Won't you stay with me?
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me?
Won't you stay with me?
Take a little water to cool you down
Reach out to your furthest dream
If you find that you've been turned around
Get back up and try again
Though your future's not plain
Your efforts, not in vain
For we are in need of
Your sweet touch
Oh please be near us
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me?
Won't you stay with me?
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me?
Won't you stay with me?
When the sun turns to rain
Then our loss can be gain
If you could reach out
Take my hand, yeah
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me?
Won't you stay with me?
Angel of mercy
Won't you stay with me?
Won't you stay with me?
Angel of mercy
When the eagle flies you'd better watch your eyes
He's gonna sweep everything in his path
And when the heavens cry it's gonna drown the sky
And you get caught aftermath
And mountains move it's no good trying to
Prove that you've been doing everything that you can
And don't you start to cry when you're about to die
You gotta stand and take it like a man
Because you've been taking instead of giving
And all the while you've been living lies
Economics, all your atomics
Ain't gonna save you from that bird in the sky
And when the good times roll, wrapped up in your mink coat
You will be stepping from your Cadillac and in a micro flash
Gonna feel the lash, big eagle's wing across your back
And when the seas subside you'll see
Him glide right out of view in clouds of snow
And the rains will come and wash away the scum
So that all the little flowers can grow
There'll be no more taking, only giving
And the sun pouring down
No economics and no atomics
Just the spread of Mother Nature's gown
Do you hear me Mother Nature?
Do you hear me, do you hear me?
Do you, do you hear me Mother Nature?
I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Than to stay around here if you're gonna pull me down
Well I give you all my money, everything I own
Well I give you all my money, everything I own
And some day I'm gonna get lucky
And down the road you know I'm gone
Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Well I would rather see you sleepin' in the ground
Than to stay around here when you're gonna pull me down
You know I give you all my money
Yeah little girl, everything I own
Well I give you all my money, everything I own
Well today I'm gonna get lucky
You said you couldn't leave me after all that we'd been through
I believed you when you said we should both try something new
I was drowning inside here with a love that was so true
But you laughed right in my face and there was nothing I could do
Once I took a walk across the hill to see what I could see
I saw a light falling from the sky and land beneath a tree
The light it gave was oh, so bright that it took away my care
I ran back to the house to tell you but you were not there
When you've loved someone dearly it's so hard not to regret
Memories that have faded, suddenly you can't forget
I know I was not dreaming when you walked right out the door
Just a feeling that told me my love was gone for evermore
When you think you've found the key, the door just slips away
And so you walk the floor all night until the break of day
Somewhere in your mind you know that things will be alright
Because everything in life is equal just like the day and night
You said you couldn't leave me after all that we'd been through
I believed you when you said that we should both try something new
Struggling with confusion, disillusionment too
Can turn a man into a shadow, crying out from pain?
Through his nightmare vision, he sees nothing, only well
Blind with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger
He's but a stranger to himself
Suspended from a rope inside a bucket down a hole
The story goes, the truth is no one knows
A stranger came, a man who lost his name
At night he tells his tale, prison, women, wail
They took him in, he let them win
Over and over
He said if you don't have good words to say
Don't wake me up until the Judgement Day
'Cause if nothing is the way it seems
Then this life is just a haunted dream
And all this love is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep
Wake me up on Judgement Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows
The darkness grows, that's how it goes
Over and over
He said I think of the beauty I've had
And all it does is make me feel so bad
'Cause they make you think you're riding high
Then they toss you off in the sky
And all this life is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep
Wake me up on Judgement Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
Say a prayer for the stranger
Listen to the stranger
Wake me up on Judgement Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Somebody's cryin' to be heard
And there's also someone who hears every word
Sail across the ocean with your back against the wind
Listening to nothing save the calling of a bird
And when the rain begins to fall, don't you start to curse
It may be just the tears of someone that you never heard
Reflected in the water is a face that you don't know
And isn't it surprising when you find out it's your own?
And so you try to find out whether it is friend or foe
And what it wants to know, and what it wants to know
Well, you're wrapped up in your little world and no one can get in
You sit and think of everything, then you wonder where you've been
You put the blame on someone that you've hardly ever known
And then you realize too late the blame was all your own
When waves crash by my sleepy pillow
I'm dreaming love will surely follow
See weeping shadows on my balcony
But there's more than I can see
We're all looking
Sometimes we find
We're all waiting
To see a sign
But we're searching
Deep in our own minds
We're all looking
Sometimes we're blind
When life is much too beautiful to bear
I still feel pain of it in there
And as I walk across the endless sky
There's nothing good about goodbye
And everything that brings me down to earth
Is just another day to pray
To while the day and wonder what it's worth
There's nothing left that we can say
We're all looking
Sometimes we find
We're all waiting
To see a sign
But we're searching
Deep in our own minds
We're all looking
Sometimes we're blind
We're all looking
Sometimes we find
We're all waiting
To see a sign
But we're searching
Deep in our own minds
We're all looking
Sometimes we're blind
We're all looking
Sometimes we find
We're all waiting
To see a sign
But we're searching
Deep in our own minds
We're all looking
Sometimes we're blind
We're all looking
Sometimes we find
We're all waiting
To see a sign
But we're searching
Deep in our own minds
We're all looking
Sometimes we're blind
Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too surprised if its just a paper sun
Ahh Paper Sun, Ahh Paper Sun
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!
When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying
From your cheek have just begun
Dont be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun
Every day there's something new that's going around
Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town
Business men they shake their heads and then they frown
Everybody tries so hard to put them down
It seems to me that maybe they got something going
And if you don't make an effort, then you got no way to know
Time is running out
Woman, can you hear me clear?
I hope that you can
Before you go to sleep at night
Take care of your man
And if you want a love that will always be around forever
Then you finally get it, ah, but you ain't gonna have it together
Time is running out, running out
Time is running out, running out
Johnny drives a Thunderbird, he's in a big rage
Always being criticized for being his age
In his nose a safety pin and life's a razor blade
He's so sick of everything that's been made
It seems to me that maybe he's got bad frustration
And all we can do is try and give the right information
Oh, 'cause time is running out
Population on the move
So don't you delay
Get yourself right in the groove
'N' hear what I say
It's no good being lazy
You've got to get up on your feet and shout
'Cause it'll make you crazy
When you realise you've been left out
Time is running out, running out
Time is running out, running out
Time is running out, running out
In the future there's no room
People standing on your toes
Mother nature's on the run
Everybody's got a gun
Soldiers walking in the street
Giving off a lot of heat
There just ain't enough to eat
If you're poor, you've got no meat
Advertising in the sky
They like to stick it in your eye
So mad it will make you cry
All the things that you don't need
Trouble in the family (Said, separation and the [sea?])
There is no more unity (Remind me what it used to be)
Complications everywhere (It seems to me it has to be)
[?] people stare (You know it's true and)
Time is running out, running out
Time is running out, running out
Television in my home (People watching every day)
Someone's talking on the phone (I can't hear a word I say)
There's no time to be alone (There's no time to get away)
Wonder why your mind is blown (Nervous breakdown every day)
Take me where the air is clean
To the country, fresh and green
I just cannot stand this pace
Sorry, but there's no such place
Time is running out, running out
Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice between the deaf man and the blind
I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea
Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said, "Just look behind"
So I turned around and forty thousand headmen hit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each, and man it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road
Heading down the road, forty thousand headmen
[Incomprehensible]
My girl white in a yellow light
Looks so good
And it takes me
Love so bright she can love all night
Shows me all she knows
Painter paint the scene
Hold us in a dream
Feel what it means
When she takes me
Oh, she plays her part
Holds me in her heart
Knows from the start
She can take me
And she takes me
And I go
When I'm bound in the London ground
Play this song
It'll take you
Say her love was a velvet glove
Held my life through
See us in the morning sun
Tell me how you want me to be, then look again and you will see
That I'm still the same love
Think me into any shape, your twisted mind has no escape
But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love
But don't be ashamed, love, it's just a game, love
You can learn how to play
Born like you were in a terrible mess, didn't know what it was to have a new dress
You just wanted to scream out my name
Till somebody said, 'let me take you to bed'
And with money and lies they filled up your head
You were barely thirteen, a child from the villages
So fresh on the scene
When you're caught, the other side
Take a look and maybe start
To take up your life again
Crossing the line
Through the gate, what words to say
Demon takes your breath away
Hear your heart, don't be afraid
Passing through time
Spinning around the axis of a dream
Possibilities aren't always what they seem
Reject them and all your choices will be free
Crossing the line
Turn upon the winding stair
Past the door that isn't there
You have come you know not where
Passing through time
Walk along the narrow road
Where the ghost gives up his mind
You can catch the thread of time
Crossing the line
Spinning around the axis of a dream
Possibilities aren't always what they seem
Reject them and all your choices will be free
Crossing the line
Hot desert wind, burning sand
But this land it is my land
Wait by the well, rain don't come
River's dry, pray for my son
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
Sun in the sky hurts my eye
Mouth all dry, may God help me
Wait by the road, man don't come
Rice all gone for thirty miles
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Shout at the truck passing by
No reply, dust in my mouth
Somebody soon find me here
Drowning here in baby's tears
Love in the world hear me soon
Save us all and save my child
Birds in the skies flying low
Baby no, his tears all dry
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Yes, I'm just one more poor hungry man
I'm just one, one more poor hungry man
Black night down heavy on my weary brow
Light shining in the pouring rain
Can see somehow cold comfort in the broken trees
But I won't let it bring me to my knees
I'm not flying, but I'm not drowning now
Keep driving, don't matter if the highway's lost
Keep running, never turn your head
Count the cost ghost waiting where the roads all cross
Big deal waiting when you get to meet the boss
Clouds are breaking, I'm not drowning now, drowning now
Flying, but I'm not drowning now
Sad old man smiling with a shameful grin
He thinks that we never can lose
Never beat the dealer when he cuts the pack
First back to front, then deal front to back
Bird flying in the sky, you know how I feel
Sun shinin' in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by, that's what I mean
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Bird flying high and you know how I feel
Sun up in the sky, you know how I feel
(? ), that's what I mean
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know how I feel
Butterflies all having fun, you know how I feel
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Birds flying in the sky, you know how I feel
Sun shinin' in the sky, yes, you know, you know how I feel
(? ), you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
Oh yes, and I'm feelin'
Oh yes, and I'm feelin'
Oh yes, and I'm feelin' good
Sitting in a transit all night long
Playing clubs and rocking right on
The road's much too long since I've been wasting my time
Wish I was home again sipping my wine
And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'cause I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
It's where I'm from, I'm on the road again
La to london is a mighty long time
Eight hours flying can bring you down
Sitting near a suit who's a red-neck going,
Eyes are moving but there's no life showing
Now that I'm home again
Things are much better, biding my time with my little go-getter
No matter what they say, no matter what they do,
Gonna end up in the middle of that rock & roll stew
Gone, gone, gone ...
Well, so sad and lonely since my baby went away from me
Well, so sad and lonely since my baby went away from me
Well, black night has fallen, hum, oh how I hate to be alone
Well, I woke up this morning, I found out my baby's gone away from me
Well, I woke up this morning baby, found out my baby's gone away from me
Well, black night has fallen, oh how I hate to be alone
I got the blues about my baby
Girl, you know I'm about to go out of my worried mind
I got the blues about my baby
Girl, you know I'm about to go out of my worried mind
Well black night has fallen, girl I just ain't used to your kind.
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me, the difference in her clothes
She wears down to me
The change has come she's under my thumb
Ain't it the truth babe?
Under my thumb
Squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me, yes it is, the way she does
Just what she's told down to me
The change has come she's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright
Under my thumb
A Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, pet in the world
It's down to me, the way she talks
When she's spoken to down to me
The change has come she's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe, yeah
It's down to me, oh yeah, the way she talks
When she's spoken to down to me
The change has come she's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to down to me
The change has come she's under my thumb
Take it easy babe take it easy babe
Feels alright take it easy babe
It's alright
It's alright
Easy babe
Happy birthday, happy birthday
How old are you, how old are you?
I'm 32 and I have to lose 20 pounds to be attractive, to be the kind of person I want. this is the year I'm gonna do it.
Have you ever promised yourself that before?
How did you know? I've been on and off diets since I was 18.
So, you've been making and breaking the same resolution for more than a decade?
Well, if you want to put it that way.
Let's face facts. your approach doesn't seem to be working.
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You never get outta those shoes alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
All you gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday, happy birthday
How old are you, how old are you?
I'm 47 years old and still don't know how to assert myself and get what I want. I just never learned to be aggressive.
You can get ahead by cooperating as well as competing.
The hell you can. it's a jungle out there. kill or be killed.
Lack of assertiveness can be a problem. it does not seem to be yours.
Look, mr good vibes. I know what my problem is. I've had it my whole life.
I understand perfectly.
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You never get outta those shoes alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
All you gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday, happy birthday
How old are you, how old are you?
I'm 23 years old and all my friends tell me I'm talented. I wanna be a really big television or recording star.
Do you go out on auditions?
How can i? who's gonna look after my kid?
Can you hire a mother's helper?
Can't afford it.
How about a relative or a neighbor?
Oh, I just wouldn't feel right asking.
Perhaps you expect a producer to drive up in a limousine and discover you at the local drugstore?
Well, it has happened before.
Frankly, my dear, this is nothing but fantasy.
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You never get outta those shoes alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
All you gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday, happy birthday
How old are you, how old are you?
Your birthday is a good time to take a look at yourself. be ruthlessly honest. are you a person who gets things done, or a procrastinator? can you control your habits? do you see yourself onjectively or do you require a myth? if you think you're fooling anyone, you're only fooling yourself.
Now, sir, how old did you say you are today?
I just turned 40 and for the last few month I've been feeling like it's all over, as though life had already passed me by. it feels like I'm dying.
That's right. you are dying.
What do you mean by that?
The fact is, even as we talk your allotted time is slipping away. more of your life is behind you. and that means that less is in front of you.
That's a pretty depressing way to wish a guy happy birthday.
Look at it this way, friend. you may be dying, but you still have some time left, so let's sit down and take stock of where you've been and where you're heading. life will always appear too short. only you can make it worthwhile.
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You never get outta those shoes alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
All you gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday, happy birthday
How old are you, how old are you?
Where there's a will, there's a way
J: what the hell is wrong with you? ya always make a scene. you gotta push me to the point where I just wanna haul off and smack you.
L: what do you want me for anyway, jerry?
J: I love you.
L: do you? do you love me or who you want me to be?
J: you're a woman with two sides, linda. one side is everything I want. the other side makes me want to lose my lunch.
L: huh, you don't love all of me. you only love a part of me. in other words, you don't really love me at all, do you, jerry?
J: you're not making sense. you're trying to make trouble. I do love you. I just wish you'd quit acting so insecure.
L: I think we need some time apart.
J: what are you talking about? we spend most of our time apart.
L: that's what I mean. you don't understand me. I can't go on feeling these double binds between us.
It would probably take years of conventional marriage counseling to straighten out this relationship. fortunately for them and many other couples like them, there is another method that is quick, simple and inexpensive. dancing for mental health.
Anyway you move, mental health is flowing into you.
Nothing left to prove, nothing else to do.
You hear the truth your body hears,
It's in your eyes and in your ears.
Like air, it's flowing into you.
Dancin' osmosis. no hocus pocus.
You're probably asking yourself how can dancing to a particular record bring about any important change in your life? sounds too good to be true. well, this record is a result of 3 decades of psycho-acousticle engineering at the will powers institute. all you need to do is purchase it, put it on your turntable, and dance. the record will do the rest.
Nothin' left to lose, mental health is flowing into you.
Nothin' left to choose, nothin' else to do.
You move the way your body does,
It's in your bones and in your blood.
Your heart is filling up with love.
Dancin' osmosis, no hocus pocus.
L: listen jerry, I thought I was pregnant and you know why? because you came inside me and you knew you shouldn't have. you only care about satisfying yourself.
J: you thought you were pregnant and didn't tell me?
L: why bother? it's my decision.
J: you're wrong, baby. it's our decision.
L: our decision. I never knew you felt this way about us.
Before you realize what is happening, the dancing for mental health method has started to work.
Turning to the sound, mental health is flowing into you.
Turning you around, how you needed to.
You'll be the one you want to be.
You'll do the things you want to do.
You'll have the things you want to have.
Dancin' osmosis, no hocus pocus.
We return to jerry and linda after just one enjoyable evening of dancing for mental health.
L: I can't believe I put you through all that soap-opera suffering and you stayed with me.
J: instead of just telling you I loved you, I should have listened for what you needed.
L: if you love me or not doesn't seem to matter anymore. it's how much I can love you.
Anyway you move, mental health is flowing into you.
Nothing left to prove, nothing else to do.
You hear the truth your body hears,
It's in your eyes and in your ears.
Like air, it's flowing into you.
Dancin' osmosis, no hocus pocus.
Dancing for mental health will change you and all the people around you.
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the dance?
Dancin' osmosis.
Chorus:
Come back and take this hurt off me
Baby, come back and take this hurt off me
I'm too young to be in misery
Baby, come back and take this hurt off me
I've been waiting at the bus station
'cause that's where you left me standing
I got my clothes in a twenty-five cent locker
And hear you till that greyhound bring you back again
(chorus)
Well, I knocked on my mother's door
She said "stevie, come on in.
You don't have to say a mumbling word,
I know your woman left you again."
Come back and take this hurt off me
Baby, come back and take this hurt off me
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
What kind of love could this be?
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
I don't know what you've got
I gotta - I gotta - I gotta - yes I have...
(chorus twice)
Yeah ....
Don't be sad, I just want to see you get through
All I have, it's yours if you think it helps you
Good or bad, there's no one can really judge you
You just have to come to your own conclusion
There is only one who means more than all to me
And through the lady, in a dream I've learned to live with everyone
Mother, father, all my friends, have seen me have my day
But now I see that there's no need in trying to run, though it's been fun
Six days have I labored hard
Finding help out of no man's hand
All night as my body aches
Rest my heart 'til the morning breaks
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the sanctuary
Six days'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Fortune, you have shone on me
Found a place where I can be free
Beauty lying in your eyes
Seventh day we will realize
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the sanctuary
Six days'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Work hard just to help me be
Take my opportunity
Moonlight will just pass me by
Domingo
Work hard just to help me be
Hours go by with reality
Hungry just to help me see
When I get my immunity
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the sanctuary
Six days'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the sanctuary
Six days'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Souls are waking the world
Is awaiting Domingo morning
Rest in the sanctuary
Six days'll pass 'til Domingo morning
Domingo morn, Domingo
Different light
Searching for the truth I find
That I am running quite short of time
And I am no longer certain of my destiny
Different light
Things that I once thought were right
Are now reflected in a different light\
And it seemed that I overlooked a part of me
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
Different light
Searching for the truth I find
Is that what I thought was peace of mind?
It was only me escaping my reality
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
I had questioned my philosophy
So that I can see the truth in me
Searching for the truth
I found out what I thought would be
Peace of mind
Things that should've stayed the same
Are prone to change
Now I've seen a little light
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
I have questioned my philosophy
So that I could see the truth in me
Different Light
I had overlooked a part of me
I was escaping my reality
And I have questioned my philosophy
Horizon in the distant sky
The steady line fixed my eye
For a million miles
Long quiet of the afternoon
Dripping lights of evening
I'm no longer blue
There's a lamp
If you've lost your way
Stars to guide
Soft fields to lay
Safe harbor from a restless sea
Deep pools of silence calm me
So I can be
Wind whispers
The fog has cleared
The sound of sacred music
That I long to hear
I am here to the very end
No more anxious thoughts within
New seasons pass in front of me
Now there's a world where I find
There's a place that I know from this feeling
It keeps on getting better now
Making love, seeing faces in the clouds
Hear what they will tell me now
Out beyond the blue horizon
And in the wake of falling stars
New day dawns giving rise to reasons why
It is that I am walking on
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Open handed open-hearted lazy
Thoughts of nothing serious
Just a day in a life with another chance
To see what yet has to be seen
Placing one foot in front of the other
Feel the breeze flow through your body now
Angel on my shoulder's telling me
Keep on walking and believe
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin'
High above looking down on me
So alive and it's flowing free
Through my veins in eternity as I walk
Walkin', keep on walkin, keep on
Keep on walkin' keep on
Keep on walkin', keep on walkin'
Walkin', keep on walkin', walkin'
Keep on walkin', walkin', walkin', walkin' on, walkin' on
(Winwood/Crawford)
Late in the evening
Early she is to dawn
I have belief in this Evensong
To offer up, up to Heaven
So much, a part of livin'
Young voices fillin' up my life
That's what I've been put here to do
Teaching what has been taught to me
Hold on to what my Father said
Take it to the final hour
I have belief in
Twilight to turn me on
Peace falls in Summer's rain
This evening song
To offer up, up to heaven
So much a part of living
Off out into the distance now
Someday she is on her way
To bring us all together now
Hold on
To what my Father said
Take it to the final hour
Hold on
To what my Father said
Take it to the final hour
Young voices fillin' up my life
That's what I've been put here to do
Teaching what has been taught to me
Hold on to what my Father said
Take it to the final hour
Hold on to what my Father said
(Winwood/Winwood)
Bully
Can you be wrong?
You are crooked
As the day is long
Easy come and easy go
Heaven knows the things you took
Without my knowin'
You tried to ruin my life
It's gonna ruin yours instead
What's wrong
If I broke his hand?
Would he understand?
Even though he carries on
Bully
Can you be wrong?
You have sunk
Below the deepest hole,
Easy said, el numero
Does it make it taste so sweet
Because you stole it?
You tried to ruin my life
It's gonna ruin yours instead
What's wrong
If I broke his hand?
Would he understand?
Even though he carries on
Dig it all up
Never should have took that from me
Burn the light and shine it
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace in this world
No more war, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
No matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
I said, "No matter, no matter what color, no
You are still my brother"
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
Together
Together
Well, you can run, run
And move away from
But you cannot hide yourself
From self possession
Well, you can run, run
And move away from
But you keep my eyes forever
And your drug will keep you up at night
And your drug will mix you up
You don't love enough
Keep my eyes open wide
Even though you're tired
While you justify
What you've self-prescribed
Well, you can run, run
And move away from
You indulge your fix
And then you're chasing another
Well, you can run, run
And move away from
But you can't deny forever
So that love can wake you up at night
So that love can heal your soul
You can love enough
Please close your eyes tonight
There's no need to cry
You can free your mind
Now that you're alive
Free your mind
Well, you can run, run
And move away from
But you cannot hide yourself
From self possession
Well, you can run, run
And move away from
But you keep my eyes forever
And your drug will keep you up at night
And your drug will mix you up
You don't love enough
Keep my eyes open wide
Even though you're tired
While you justify
Every time I see you
Girl, it makes me feel so sad
Knowing you've been seeing
Some other guy that treats you bad
You know that I'm burning
Deep inside for you
Just give me the chance now
And we can see it through
If you'll be my woman
I'll be your one and only man
Gonna take me with you
Far away from hearts of stone
We'll live in the country
And raise some children of our own
I will be your lover
I will be your friend
I'll give you all my loving
On that you can depend
If you'll be my woman
I'll be your one and only man
And there'll be no more crying
I'll make your dreams come true
You know I'll never turn my back on you
And there'll be no more crying
I'll make your dreams come true
You know I'll never turn my back on you
Take you to the city
Girl, we're gonna buy some clothes
Dress you up so pretty
Then we'll take in all the shows
Find a place that's jumping
Where the music's tight
And we'll keep on dancing till the morning light
If you'll be my woman
I'll be your one and only man
Be my woman, I'll be your man
Know I'm gonna give you everything I can
Be my woman, I'll be your man
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why.
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No more wars, no more wars, no more war...
Just a little peace in this world
No more war, no more war.
All we want is some peace in this world.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
No matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You are still my brother.
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to live.
Everybody's going to be together.
Everybody's got to be together.
Everybody wants to be together.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
I said no matter, no matter what colour.
You're still my brother.
Everybody wants to live together.
Why can't we be together?
Gotta live together...
Come out and dance with me, darling, on that funky side of town
Come out and rock with me, baby, shake it up and dance it down
When you hear that good band play, it'll make you want to fool around
You can't sit down
I've got some moves for you, baby, that I learned from way back when
I've got a feel for you, baby, you'll believe in love again
When I knock on you door, you'll let me in
In love again
We go round and round, don't know where we're bound
Long as there's a beat I'll hang around, for one more round
Now baby, don't read the papers, 'cause they always make you sad
And honey, don't watch the TV 'cause the news is always bad
Come and dance with me tonight and you know your heart will be so glad
So very glad
Baby, don't you know the reason grandma smiles at grandpa so?
Grandpa can still keep it moving like he did so long ago
Grandma says, "Hold me tight and don't let go"
Like years ago
Baby this is true romance, take it while you see a chance
If we got everyone dancing, wouldn't be no time for war
If they got into the feeling, they'd find out what life is for
Every day you'd hear them say, "This has got to be what life is for"
And dance some more
The story goes, the truth is no one knows
A stranger came, a man who lost his name
At night he tells me his tale, prison, women, wail
The took him in, he let them win
Over and over
He said if you don't have good words to say
Don't wake me up until the Judgment Day
'Cause if nothing is the way it seems
Then this life is just a haunted dream
And all this love is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep
Wake me up on Judgment Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows
The darkness grows, that's how it goes
Over and over
He said I think of the beauty I've had
And all it does is make me feel so bad
First they make you think you're riding high
Then they toss you off in the sky
And all this life is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep
Wake me up on Judgment Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
Say a prayer for the stranger
Listen to the stranger
Wake me up on Judgment Day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn't have a care
Taking all my friends out for a mighty good ride
Bootleg liquors, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
Didn't have a penny and no place to go
If I ever lay my hand on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins
Nobody loves you when you are down and out
In your pocket you ain't got one penny
And your friends, you don't have any
Well just as soon as you've get back on your feet again
Here they all come the same old year long lost friends
I thought that it's mighty strange but without a doubt
For nobody wants you, I got to tell ya
Nobody needs you
Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
(I got to tell you one more time)
**Stand up in a clear blue morning
Until you see what can be
Alone in a cold day dawning
Are you still free can you be
When some cold tomorrow finds you
When some sad old dream reminds you
How the endless road unwinds you
*While you see a chance take it
Find romance fake it
Because it's all on you
Don't you know by now
No one gives you anything
Don't you wonder how you keep on moving
One more day your way go your way
When there's no one left to leave you
Even you don't quite believe you
That's when nothing can deceive you
( * Repeat)
( ** Repeat)
And that old grey wind is blowing
And there's nothing left worth knowing
And it's time you should be going
( * Repeat)
While you see a chance take it
Find romance
While you see a chance take it
You used to come and see me all the time
I gave you everything I had
I brought you up
And I never left you one time feeling bad
They say it's a new age
And I wonder where you've been
You can help me turn a new page
The same door is open-come on in
While there's a candle burning
I'll be reaching for your heart
While there's a wheel still turning
I know how to play my part
So I keep the wheels all turning
And I keep the candles burning
All day through here for you
The world is full of players in the night
They say the words they have to say
They're all so hot
And they never give a damn for yesterday
Don't care if they touch you
Everywhere you saved for me
'Cause I still know how to move you
You've been searching high and low, still so far to go
You've been searching everywhere, I know you care
Walking down the endless street, what will you meet?
Who knows, who knows?
You'll keep on searching till the very end
For one true lover and for one true friend
You'll get your answer on the whispering wind
When you find it, just don't let go
Laughed with saints and cried with clowns, lived that up and down
Walked out in the pouring rain to stop your pain
Cried out on a mountain high, why life goes by?
Why love can die, oh why?
Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away
You're looking at me, I've got nothing to say
Don't make me angry with the games that you play
Either light up or leave me alone
You walk in my room, you lie in my bed
You open your mouth, shoot someone dead
All of a sudden you're inside my head
Either light up or leave me alone
Spending my bread like it grew on a tree
You're trying to tell me 'bout the birds and the bees
The skirt that you're wearing is way past your knees
Either light up or leave me alone
You're up all night preaching your mind
Come home in the morning with your latest find
I'm gonna have to lay it to you straight on the line
Either light up or leave me alone
Locked out of eden for failing the test
They just can't live like all of the rest
Speaking in tongues without any rhyme
Ragged outcasts on the wastelands of time
Easy rider coming down the road, easy rider overload
Looking for sometime, somewhere, some place
Sometime, somewhere, some space
Sometime, somewhere, some grace,
But nowhere is their freedom
Red flames of fire reflect in her eye
Masked by the smoke that's floating on high
Seizing the road, reaches the sky,
Like a falcon she just wants to fly
Dark clouds gather on the edge of the mist
Hear her laughter and she's gone
There's always one more mountain to climb
But we are all lost, travelers in time, a long way from home
You always fear what you don't understand
Choosing to live in disneyland
They polish the children, they polish the grass
Definitely in a different class
All is magic on a mushroom ride
It's so tragic when you realize
Girl, you got me where you want me now
Now what you gonna do?
I'd work eight days a week, girl
If you want me too, now
Baby, please do something, you must do something
Child, you got to do something, do something for me
Oh, you made me love you, girl
But you put me on the shelf
You keep me so upset
You got me talking to myself
Baby, please do something, you must do something
Child, you got to do something, do something for me
Something like holding me tight
Something like treating me right
Something like squeezing me with all of your might
You got me where you want me now
Now whatcha gonna do?
I'll work eight days a week, girl
If you want me tonight
Baby, please do something, you must do something
Child, you got to do something, do something for me
We are all living in the physical world
Loving people let it show
Body, mind, ghostmachine
Heart of the fire, gonna make it glow
Breath of your body in the beat of the night
Calling on your lover's name
Image game, body, mind
Get it all down, gonna make it shine
The rush as it take miraculous flight
Through a pure action dream
Body, mind, ghostmachine
Takes us away in a clear white flame
I can't afford to take a rest, I'm heading out towards the sun
And find the place where I once saw a new life starting
It's not so far to get there, it's waiting up around the bend
Don't know if I'll be back again
Through the night I'm flying, moving like a raven
To the night unfolding I call your name
To the night I whisper, to the night I pray
Through the night I'm racing
Far from home
I've always tried to do my best, I never cheated anyone
Not like the place where they once turned the wine into water
Running from all pretensions, nothing blocking up my view
No more feeling black and blue
'cause tonight I'm not a lonely man, yes tonight, oh tonight
Keep holding on to false directions, they'll never set you free
You got to stop the world and let it be, then maybe you will see
I have finally found a way to live just like I never could before
I know that I don't have much to give, but I can open any door
Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score, yeah
I have finally found a way to live in the colour of the lord
I have finally found a place to live just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give, but soon I'll open any door
Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score
I have finally found a place to live, oh, in the presence of the lord
In the presence of the lord
I have finally found a way to live, just like I never could before
And I know I don't have much to give, but I can open any door
Everybody knows the secret, I said everybody knows the score
I have finally found a way to live in the colour of the lord
In the colour of the lord
When a western man loses his best friend
Many days are spent in years
And without belief he knows his empty grief
Is a name for his own fears
Oh, the eyes are still
Oh, but even sleeping
My dearest friend till we meet again
And ever we'll be blowing
Maybe weep awhile for those below
Until then I'll keep on going
But oh, the heart, the hurt
Keeps on keepin' on, and on
(On)
Let them alone for those down there speak our sorrow
While we can't share the joke together
Yeah, we keep on going
My dearest friend till we meet again
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
The dead are weeping for the dead
(Weeping for the dead)
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
Maybe weep awhile for those below
Until then I'll keep on going
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
Weep no more
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
Weep no more
Weep no more
Weep no more
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
Weep no more
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
O-ku nsu-kun no-ko
(In constant sorrow all through his days)
I am the man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised
(The place where he was born and raised)
For six long years
I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on Earth I find
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me out
(He has no friends to help him out)
Kids fare the well
My old true lover I never expect to see you again
For Im bound to ride that Northen Railroad
perhaps I'll die upon that train.
(Perhaps he'll die upon this train)
You can bury me in Sunny Valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
while I am sleeping in my grave.
(While he is sleeping in his grave)
Maybe your friends think im just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)
In the sky, light is coming, so glad we all have this day
We all want one more morning just to know the night won't stay
Lift my eyes to the dawning to see the life start again
Just to see one more morning, just to feel it all begin
Just to have this day and life starting all over, for all it may bring
A blessing on everything and one more song I can sing
One more day, one more memory, one more link in the chain
We all want one more morning just to feel it all again
Just to have this day and life starting all over, for all it may bring
A blessing on everything and one more song I can sing
In the arms we were born in, in the arms that will take us home
In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place, where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of steel
Tiny cogs in one big wheel
Turning never learning
Had to make a break
And soon, I had to wake up
Feeling stronger, feeling stronger
In my island of dreams with impossible schemes
In a Shanghai Noodle Factory
Place, where I once used to be
No where doing nothing
People there were made of cans
Packed like roosters in a pen
Crowing, never knowing had to make a break
I knew, I couldn't fake it any longer
Everything just aches
Soon, I'd have to wake up
Feeling stronger, feeling stronger
Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too surprised if its just a paper sun
Ahh Paper Sun, Ahh Paper Sun
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!
When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying
From your cheek have just begun
Dont be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Turn around every way, looking back another day
The race is on, I'm out to win, before I start I must begin
Here we go round in circles to nowhere
Mulberry bush just won't let me see
If I am lonely when I arrive there
Mulberry bush, will you shelter me when I am naked and cold?
Yet no one must see, oh they're looking at me
When I am straight I feel that my world is real
With people running round and round, bringing one another down
People running round and round, bringing one another down
Here we go round, I'm looking for someone
Mulberry bush is calling to me
Red lights and green ones, I can't be nervous
Mulberry bush, your bright eyes I see
Here we go round in circle to nowhere
Mulberry bush just won't let me see
If I am lonely when I arrive there
