Fragile

Sting

 

If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrows rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetimes argument

That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

 

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are

 

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are

How fragile we are how fragile we are

Voodoo Chile

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

 

Doing a Hendrix cover.. nice

 

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand.

Well, I stand up next to a mountain,

Chop it down with the edge of my hand.

Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island,

Might even raise just a little sand.

cause Im a voodoo chile,

Lord knows Im a voodoo chile, baby.

 

I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time,

Ill give it right back to you one of these days.

I said I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time,

Ill give it right back one of these days.

And if I dont meet you no more in this world

Then ill, Ill meet you in the next one and dont be late, dont be late.

cause Im a voodoo chile, voodoo chile,

Lord knows Im a voodoo chile, hey hey hey.

Im a voodoo chile, baby.

Born with a Broken Heart

K.Wayne Shepherd

 

 

Up from the ashes, out of the flames

Keeps gettin' stronger, like a slow rollin' train

Watch it run

Oh, why do the good die young

Burnin' like a shootin' star

Born with a broken heart

 

Off in the distance, it was callin' my name

So I took me a ride, on that slow rollin' train

It still runs

But it seems that the good die young

Playin' on that sad guitar

Born with a broken heart

Burnin' like a shootin' star

Born with a broken heart

 

Seems it was over, before it begun

Killed by a bullet, from a six-string gun

Bang a drum

Oh, why do the good die young

Ridin' in a long black car

Born with a broken heart

Playin' on that sad guitar

Born with a broken heart

Burnin' like a shootin' star

Born with a broken heart

Wicked Game

Chris Isaak

 

 

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

 

No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

 

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.

What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

 

I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you.

 

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

 

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)

(This world is only gonna break your heart)

 

Nobody loves no one.

Icky Thump

White Stripes

 

 

Yah-hee, icky thump

Who'd-a thunk?

Sittin' drunk

On a wagon to Mexico

 

Her hair, what a chump

And my head

Got a bump

When I hit it on the radio

 

Red-head se?orita

Lookin' dead

Came to said,

"I need a bed" en espa?ol

 

So I gave a drink of water

I'm gonna sing around the collar

Well, I don't need a microphone

 

[guitar solo]

[keyboard solo]

 

Icky thump, with the lump

In my throat

Grab my coat

And now it's reckon

I was ready to go

 

Yeah, I swam beside the hair

She had one white eye

One blank stare

Lookin' up, lyin' there

 

On a stand in her hair

Was a candy cane

Black rum, sugar cane

Dry eye, somethin' strange!

 

La la, la la la la la la la la la laaa laaa laaa

 

[keyboard solo]

 

Well, Americans:

What, nothin' better to do?

Why don't you kick yourself out?

You're an immigrant too.

 

Who's usin' who?

What should we do?

Well you can't be a pimp

And a prostitute too

 

Icky thump, handcuffed to a bunk

Robbed blind

Looked around

And there was nobody else

 

Left alone

I hit myself with a stone

Went home

And learned how to clean up after myself

Just the way you are

Billy Joel

 

Dont go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before

Dont imagine youre too familiar

And I dont see you anymore

I wouldnt leave you in times of trouble

We never could have come this far

I took the good times, Ill take the bad times

Ill take you just the way you are

 

Dont go trying some new fashion

Dont change the color of your hair

You always have my unspoken passion

Although I might not seem to care

 

I dont want clever conversation

I never want to work that hard

I just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are.

 

I need to know that you will always be

The same old someone that I knew

What will it take till you believe in me

The way that I believe in you.

 

I said I love you and thats forever

And this I promise from the heart

I could not love you any better

I love you just the way you are.

She's Always a Women

Billy Joel

 

She can kill with a smile

She can wound with her eyes

She can ruin your faith with her casual lies

And she only reveals what she wants you to see

She hides like a child

But she's always a woman to me

 

She can lead you to live

She can take you or leave you

She can ask for the truth

But she'll never believe you

And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free

She steals like a thief

But she's always a woman to me

 

Oh, she takes care of herself

She can wait if she wants

She's ahead of her time

Oh, and she never gives out

And she never gives in

She just changes her mind

 

She will promise you more

Than the Garden of Eden

Then she'll carelessly cut you

And laugh while you're bleedin'

But she'll bring out the best

And the worst you can be

Blame it all on yourself

Cause she's always a woman to me

 

She is frequently kind

And she's suddenly cruel

She can do as she pleases

She's nobody's fool

But she can't be convicted

She's earned her degree

And the most she will do

Is throw shadows at you

But she's always a woman to me

You May be Right

Billy Joel

 

Friday night I crashed your party

Saturday I said Im sorry

Sunday came and trashed me out again

I was only having fun

Wasnt hurting anyone

And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

 

Ive been stranded in the combat zone

I walked through bedford stuy alone

Even rode my motorcycle in the rain

And you told me not to drive

But I made it home alive

So you said that only proves that Im insane

 

You may be right

I may be crazy

But it just may be a lunatic youre looking for

Turn out the light

Dont try to save me

You may be wrong for all I know

But you may be right

 

Remember how I found you there

Alone in your electric chair

I told you dirty jokes until you smiled

You were lonely for a man

I said take me as I am

cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile

 

Now think of all the years you tried to

Find someone to satisfy you

I might be as crazy as you say

If Im crazy then its true

That its all because of you

And you wouldnt want me any other way

 

You may be right

I may be crazy

But it just may be a lunatic youre looking for

Its too late to fight

Its too late to change me

You may be wrong for all I know

But you may be right

 

You may be right

I may be crazy

But it just may be a lunatic youre looking for

Turn out the light

Dont try to save me

You may be wrong for all I know

But you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

Tearing my body all apart

 

Machine gun, yeah

Tearing my body all apart

 

Evil man make me kill ya

Even though were only families apart

 

Well I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber

Hey! and your bullets keep knocking me down

 

Hey, I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now

Yeah, but you still blast me down to the ground

 

The same way you shoot me down, baby

Youll be going just the same

Three times the pain,

And your own self to blame

Hey, machine gun

 

I aint afraid of your mess no more, babe

I aint afraid no more

After a while, your, your cheap talk dont even cause me pain,

So let your bullets fly like rain

 

cause I know all the time youre wrong baby

And youll be going just the same

Yeah, machine gun

Tearing my family apart

Yeah, yeah, alright

Tearing my family apart

At least here, huh huh

Huh huh

(you know, instead of killin)

 

May this be

Love or just

Confusion born out of

Frustration wracked

Feelings - of not

Being able to

Make true physical

Love to the

Universal gypsy queen

True, free expressed music

Darling guitar please

Rest. amen

Into the Mystic

Van Morrison

 

We were born before the wind

Also younger than the sun

Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic

Hark, now hear the sailors cry

Smell the sea and feel the sky

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

 

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home

And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it

I dont have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home

And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it

I dont have to fear it

I want to rock your gypsy soul

Just like way back in the days of old

And together we will float into the mystic

Come on girl...

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show - Acapulco Goldie

 

(Hey play the guitars)

(I love to hear the guitars play)

(Oh I love to sing, I love to sing)

 

She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina

In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha)

She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while

It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)

 

Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go

You said you'd always hold me

But you run away with me Acapulco gold

 

(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)

 

I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta

I said What does puta mean? Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no)

Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila

Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)

 

Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go?

You said you'd always hold me

But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold

Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold

 

(Oh Goldie)

(How can you do these things to me?)

(Where's my gun?)

(Who took my gun?)

(On no, I don't feel good)

(I don't feel good babe)

(Start the guitars)

Lowdown

Boz Scaggs

 

Baby's into runnin' around

Hanging with the crowd

Putting your business in the street talking out loud

Saying you bought her this and that

And how much you done spent

I swear she must believe it's all heaven sent

Hey boy, you better bring the chick around

To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown

 

(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

Taught her how to talk like that

(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

Gave her that big idea

 

Nothing you can't handle, nothing you ain't got

Put the money on the table and drive it off the lot

Turn on that ole lovelight and turn a maybe to a yes

Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess

Hey son, better get on back to town

Face the sad old truth, the dirty lowdown

 

(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

Put those ideas in your head

(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

 

Come on back down earth, son

Dig the low, low, low, low lowdown

 

You ain't got to be so bad got to be so cold

This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old

Got to have a Jones for this Jones for that

This running with the Joneses boy

Just ain't where it's at

You gonna come back around

To the sad, sad truth, the dirty lowdown

 

(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

Got you thinking like that boy

(Whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

 

(I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

(Say whooooo, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)

She's Gone

Hall & Oats

 

Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's trying to tell me

What is right for me, yeah

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooooh what will be

 

[Chorus:]

She's gone, she's gone

Oh, why

Oh, why

I better learn how to face it

She's gone, she's gone

Oh, why

Oh, why

I'd pay the devil to replace her

She's gone, she's gone

Oh, why

What went wrong

 

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror

One less tooth brush hanging in the stand

My face ain't looking any younger

Now what I can see

Love's taken a toll on me

 

[Chorus]

 

Think I'll spend eternity in the city

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away

And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

There can never be what she once was to me

Baby hair with a womans eyes

I can feel you watching in the night

All alone with me and were waiting for the sunlight

When I feel cold you warm me

When I feel I cant go on you come and hold me

Its you... and me forever

 

Sara smile

Wont you smile a while for me

 

If you feel like leaving you know you can go

But why dont you stay until tomorrow?

And if you want to be free, all you have to do is say so

When you feel cold, Ill warm you

And when you feel you cant go on, Ill come and hold you

Its you... and me forever

Wont you smile a while for me

That Smell

Lenny Skinny

 

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars

Oak tree you're in my way

There's too much coke and too much smoke

Look what's going on inside you

 

(Chorus)

Ooooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

 

Angel of darkness is upon you

Stuck a needle in your arm

So take another toke, have a blow for your nose

One more drink fool, will drown you

 

(Chorus)

Ooooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

 

Now they call you Prince Charming

Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes

Say you'll be all right come tomorrow

But tomorrow might not be here for you

 

(Chorus)

Ooooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

 

Hey, you're a fool you

Stick them needles in your arm

I know I been there before

 

One little problem that confronts you

Got a monkey on your back

Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick

One hell of a price for you to get your kicks

 

(Chorus x2)

Ooooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

Ooooh that smell

Can't you smell that smell

Ooooh that smell

The smell of death surrounds you

Ballad of Curtis Loew

Lenny Skinny

 

Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed

Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough

Brought em down to the corner, down to the country store

Cash em in and give my money to a man named curtis loew

 

Old curt was a black man with white curly hair

When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care

He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee

Id give old curt my money, hed play all day for me

 

(chorus)

Play me a song curtis loew, curtis loew

I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro

People said he was useless, them people are the fools

cause curtis loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues

 

He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten

Mama used to whip me but Id go see him again

Id clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time

Hed play me a song or two

Then take another drink of wine.

 

Chorus

 

Yes sir

 

On the day old curtis died, nobody came to pray

Ol preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay

But he lived a lifetime playin the black mans blues

And on the day he lost his life, thats all he had to lose

 

Play me a song curtis loew, hey curtis loew

I wish that you was here so everyone would know

People said he was useless, them people all are fools

cause curtis youre the finest picker to ever play the blues

I guess the dance is over now

So you just courstey, and I'll bow

And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne

And I'll just take whats left of me, right bak to where it used to be

And you'll go sail your magic carpet far across the sky

CHORUS

I wish I could have made it more like the movies for ya

Some pretty technicolour way thats never been

Im sorry when i kissed you, you only heard me whisper

You never got to hear those violins

Did ya girl?

No you never got to hear those violins, no

The castles that you built so high, were just to steep for me to climb

And I guess these dirty streets of mine, were just to rough for you

I wish I coulda helped you see

Just one of your sweet childhood dreams,

But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true

CHORUS

Ohhhhhhhhhh Im sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper

You never got to hear those violins

No you never got to hear those violins

When your body's had enough of me

And I'm layin' flat out on the floor

When you think I've loved you all I can

I'm gonna love you a little bit more

 

Come on over here and lay by my side

I've got to be touchin' you

Let me rub your tired shoulders

The way I used to do

Look into my eyes and give me that smile

The one that always turns me on

And let me take your hair down

'Cause we're stayin' up to greet the sun

 

And when your body's had enough of me

And I'm layin' flat out on the floor

When you think I've loved you all I can

I'm gonna love you a little bit more

 

Got to say a few things that have been on my mind

And you know where my mind has been

I guess I learned my lessons

And now's the time to begin

So if you're feelin alright and you're ready for me

I know that I'm ready for you

We better get it on now

'Cause we got a whole life to live through

 

And when your body's had enough of me

And I'm layin' flat on the floor

When you think I've loved you all I can

I'm gonna love you a little bit more

 

And when your body's had enough of me

And I'm layin' flat out on the floor

Night falls on the city, baby feels the beat

Slick and sexy angel of the street

The queen of all the night birds watch her when she walks

She don't say nothing but, baby makes her blue jeans talk

 

Baby makes her blue jeans, yes she makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans, yes she makes her blue jeans talk

You know what she's thinking about and it turns you inside out

She don't say nothing but, baby makes her blue jeans talk

 

Night time in the city, magic in the air

The action starts at midnight, she'll be there

The queen of all the night birds, a player in the dark

She don't say nothing but, baby makes her blue jeans talk

 

Baby makes her blue jeans, yes she makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans, yes she makes her blue jeans talk

You know what she's thinking about and it turns you inside out

She don't say nothing but, baby makes her blue jeans talk

 

Baby makes her blue jeans, yes she makes her blue jeans talk

Baby makes her blue jeans, yes she makes her blue jeans talk

Bell Bottom Blues

Eric Clapton

 

 

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.

I dont want to lose this feeling.

And if I could choose a place to die

It would be in your arms.

 

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

Id gladly do it because

I dont want to fade away.

Give me one more day, please.

I dont want to fade away.

In your heart I want to stay.

 

Its all wrong, but its all right.

The way that you treat me baby.

Once I was strong but I lost the fight.

You wont find a better loser.

 

Chorus

Bell bottom blues, dont say goodbye.

And if we do, dont you be surprised

If you find me with another lover.

 

Chorus

 

I dont want to fade away.

Give me one more day please.

I dont want to fade away.

In your heart I long to stay.

Layla

Eric Clapton

 

What'll you do when you get lonely

And nobody's waiting by your side?

You've been running and hiding much too long.

You know it's just your foolish pride.

 

Layla, you've got me on my knees.

Layla, I'm begging, darling please.

Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

 

I tried to give you consolation

When your old man had let you down.

Like a fool, I fell in love with you,

Turned my whole world upside down.

 

Chorus

 

Let's make the best of the situation

Before I finally go insane.

Please don't say we'll never find a way

And tell me all my love's in vain.

White Room

Cream

 

In the white room with black curtains near the station.

Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.

Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.

Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

 

Ill wait in this place where the sun never shines;

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

 

You said no strings could secure you at the station.

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.

I walked into such a sad time at the station.

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

 

Ill wait in the queue when the trains come back;

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

 

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.

Shes just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

 

Ill sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;

Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.

No Rain

Blind Melon

 

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

 

I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

 

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

 

and speak my point of view

 

But it's not sane, It's not sane

 

I just want some one to say to me

 

I'll always be there when you wake

 

Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

 

So stay with me and I'll have it made

 

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

 

And I start to complain that there's no rain

 

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

 

And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

 

escape......escape......escape......

 

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

 

ya don't like my point of view

 

ya think I'm insane

 

Its not sane......it's not sane

Wild World

Cat Stevens

 

Now that I've lost everything to you

You say you wanna start something new

And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'

Baby, I'm grievin'

But if you wanna leave, take good care

I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear

But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

 

[Chorus:]

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

It's hard to get by just upon a smile

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

I'll always remember you like a child, girl

 

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breakin' my heart in two

Because I never wanna see you a sad girl

Don't be a bad girl

But if you wanna leave, take good care

I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there

But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

 

[Chorus]

 

Baby, I love you

But if you wanna leave, take good care

I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there

But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Morning has Broken

Cat Stevens

 

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for the springing fresh from the world

 

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

 

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

Godzilla

Blue Oyster Cult

 

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

 

Helpless people on a subway train

Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

 

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

 

Oh no, they say hes got to go

Go go godzilla, yeah

Oh no, there goes tokyo

Go go godzilla, yeah

 

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!

Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!

Daishkyu hinan e kudasai!

Daishkyu hinan e kudasai!

Oh no, there goes tokyo

How nature points up the folly of men

Don't Fear the Reaper

Blue Oyster Cult

 

All our times have come

Here but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain

We can be like they are

 

Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper

Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper

We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper

Baby I'm your man...

 

Valentine is done

Here but now they're gone

Romeo and Juliet

Are together in eternity...

Romeo and Juliet

 

40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and

Juliet

40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine

happiness

Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like

they are

 

Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper

Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper

We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper

Baby I'm your man...

 

Love of two is one

Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness

And it was clear we couldn't go on

The door was open and the wind appeared

The candles blew and then disappeared

The curtains flew then he appeared

Saying don't be afraid

 

Come on baby... And we had no fear

And we ran to him... Then we started to fly

We looked backward and said goodbye

We had become like they are

We had taken his hand

We had become like they are

 

Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Home in the valley

Home in the city

Home isnt pretty

Home in the darkness

Home on the highway

Home isnt my way

And Im burnin, Im burnin, Im burnin for you

And Im burnin, Im burnin, Im burnin for you

Veteren of the Psychic Wars

B.O.C.

 

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars

Ive been living on the edge so long

Where the winds of limbo roar

And Im young enough to look at

And far too old to see

All the scars are on the inside

Im not sure if theres anything left of me

 

Dont let these shakes go on

Its time we had a break from it

Its time we had some leave

Weve been living in the flames

Weve been eating up our brains

Oh, please dont let theses shakes go on

 

You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you

You blame me for my silence

Say its time I changed and grew

But the wars still going on dear

And theres no end that I know

And I cant say if were ever...

I cant say if were ever gonna to be free

 

Dont let these shakes go on

Its time we had a break from it

Its time we had some leave

Weve been living in the flames

Weve been eating out our brains

Oh, please dont let theses shakes go on

 

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars

My energys spent at last

And my armor is destroyed

I have used up all my weapons and Im helpless and bereaved

Wounds are all Im made of

Did I hear you say that this is victory?

 

Dont let these shakes go on

Its time we had a break from it

Send me to the rear

Where the tides of madness swell

And been sliding into hell

Oh, please dont let shakes go on

Dont let these shakes go on

Dont let these shakes go on

American Woman

The Guess Who

 

 

American woman, stay away from me

American woman, mama let me be

Don't come a hangin' around my door

I got more important things to do

Than spend my time growin' old with you

Now woman, I said, stay away

American woman

Listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

 

American woman, get away from me

American woman, mama let me be

Don't come a knockin' around my door

Coloured lights can hypnotize

Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, I said get away

American woman

Listen what I say-ay-ay-ay

 

American woman, said get away

American woman, listen what I say

Don't come a hangin' around my door

Don't wanna see your face no more

I don't need your ghetto scenes

Coloured lights can hypnotize

Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now Woman, get away from me

American woman

Mama let me be

 

Go, gotta get away

Gotta get away now go, go, go

I'm gonna leave you woman

Gonna leave you woman

Bye-bye, bye-bye

Bye-bye, bye-bye

I'm gonna leave you woman

Goodbye American woman

No Time

(No time left for you) I found myself some wings

(No time left for you) Distant roads are callin' me

(No time left for you) Da-un-da-un-da-un-da-un-da

Seasons change and so did I

You need not wonder why

There's no time left for you

No time left for you

No time for a gentle rain

No time for my watch and chain

No time for revolving doors

No time for the killin' floor

No time for the killin' floor

There's no time left for you

No time left for you

 

No time for a summer friend

No time for the love you send

Seasons change and so did I

You need not wonder why

Share the land

Guess Who

 

Have you been around

Have you done your share of coming down

On different things that people do

Have you been aware

You got brothers and sisters who care

About what's gonna happen to you

In a year from now...

 

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand

Maybe I'll be there to share the land

That they'll be giving away

When we all live together.

 

Did you pay your dues

Did you read the news

This morning when the paper landed in your yard

Do you know their names

Can you play their games

And coming down a bit too hard...

 

Shake your hand, share the land

Shake your hand, share the land

You know I'll be standing by

To help you if you worry....

[trailing off]

No more sadness, no more sorrow, no more bad times

every day coming sunshine, everyday everybody laughing

walking together by the river, walking together and

laughing, everybody singing together, everybody singing and

laughing, good times good times, everybody walking by the

river now, walking singing talking smiling laughing loving

each other.

No Sugar Tonight

Guess Who

 

{"No Sugar Tonight"}

Lonely feelin' deep inside

Find a corner where I can hide

Silent footsteps crowdin' me

Sudden darkness, but I can see

 

No sugar tonight in my coffee

No sugar tonight in my tea

No sugar to stand beside me

No sugar to run with me

 

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow no no

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow

 

In the silence of her mind

Quiet movements, well, I can find

Grabbin' for me with her eyes

Now I'm fallin' from her skies

 

No sugar tonight in my coffee

No sugar tonight in my tea

No sugar to stand beside me

No sugar to run with me

 

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow un-dow-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow

 

{"New Mother Nature"}

Jocko says yes and I believe him

When we talk about the things I say

She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him

When they're standin' in each other's way

You're driven back now to places you've been to

You're wonderin' what you're gonna find

You know you've been wrong but it won't be long

Before you leave 'em all far behind

 

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all

 

Jocko said no when I came back last time

It's lookin' like I lost a friend

No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'

And I'm gettin' pretty near the end

A smoke-filled room in a corner basement

The situation must be right

A bag o' goodies and a bottle o' wine

We're gonna get it on right tonight

 

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all

 

{1st verse of "No Sugar Tonight" sung simultaneously with

1st verse of "New Mother Nature"}

Lonely feelin'

Jocko says yes and I believe him

Deep inside

When we talk about the things I say

Find a corner

She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him

Where I can hide

When they're standin' in each other's way

Silent footsteps

You're driven back now to places you've been to

Crowdin' me

You're wonderin' what you're gonna find

Sudden darkness

You know you've been wrong and it won't be long

But I can see

Before you leave 'em all far behind

 

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all

 

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow no no

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow

Da-un-do-dow dow da-un-do-dow

Da-un-do-dow dow no no

BREAK IT TO THEM GENTLY

Album : Dream Of A Child

Burton Cummings - 1978

 

 

Break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad

When you see my baby sister be as kind as you can

And break it to my Grandma, who said "That boy's wild and bad"

Break it to them gently when you tell them that I won't be coming

home again

Cause I'm running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

Fightin for my life and I don't know if I'll make it alone

Running with a gun and it isn't any fun as a fugitive

God I wanna go home

Lord I wish I was home

 

When you see my lady with the twinkle in her eyes

Tell it to her softly and hold her if she cries

Tell her that I love her and I will til the day I die

Tell it to her gently when you tell her that I won't be coming home

again

 

(chorus)

I got in too deep with strangers

Thinking they could help me find my way

But nobody warned me of the dangers

And it's always the young and foolish that have to pay

 

So break it to them gently when you tell my Mom and Dad

Thank them for the good years and all the lovin that I had

And break it to my Grandma, who said "the boy is wild and bad"

Break it to them gently when you tell 'em that I won't be comin home

again

 

(chorus)

 

You gotta break it to them gently

Gotta really try to roll 'em

Gotta break it to them gently

Gotta really try to soothe them

Gotta really try to roll 'em

You gotta roll it to my Mother

Gotta roll it to my Grandma

Gotta roll the old lady

Roll it to my Grandma, she's damn near eighty

Roll the old lady

Hey Lawdy Mama

Steppenwolf

 

You'd like to show me all around

Thank you girl but I know this town

It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright

Don't you know they're all the same

Only difference is the name

It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright

Three motels, dusty cars

A movie show and a dozen bars

It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright

Only thing that I can say

Is we'll be here for just one day

 

Baby don't you know we're

Leavin' early in the mornin'

So long, I don't know we might be back next year

Baby it just might be never

Don't cha worry 'bout it

So long, good to know your smilin' face was here

 

This town is boring you to tears

Nothing in the world ever happens here

It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright

Don't you know you've got to help

Nothing ever happens by itself

It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright

If no one will share the load

Go pack your bags, hit the open road

It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright

Try to find someone like you

Hope will tell you what to do

 

Baby don't you know we're

Leavin' early in the mornin'

So long, I don't know we might be back next year

Baby it just might be never

Don't cha worry 'bout it

So long good to know your smilin' face was here

Magic Carpet Ride

Steppenwolf

 

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine

On a cloud of sound I drift in the night

Any place it goes is right

Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

 

Well, you don't know what we can find

Why don't you come with me little girl

On a magic carpet ride

You don't know what we can see

Why don't you tell your dreams to me

Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl

Look inside girl

Let the sound take you away

 

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp

And so I wished that I could stay

Before the thing could answer me

Well, someone came and took the lamp away

I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

 

Well, you don't know what we can find

Why don't you come with me little girl

On a magic carpet ride

Well, you don't know what we can see

Why don't you tell your dreams to me

Fantasy will set you free

Close your eyes girl

Look inside girl

Let the sound take you away

The Pusher

Steppenwolf

 

You know I've smoked a lot of grass

O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills

But I never touched nothin'

That my spirit could kill

You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round

With tombstones in their eyes

But the pusher don't care

Ah, if you live or if you die

 

God damn, The Pusher

God damn, I say The Pusher

I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

 

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man

With the love grass in his hand

Oh but the pusher is a monster

Good God, he's not a natural man

The dealer for a nickel

Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams

Ah, but the pusher ruin your body

Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream

 

God damn, The Pusher

God damn, God damn the Pusher

I said God damn, God, God damn The Pusher man

 

Well, now if I were the president of this land

You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man

I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run

Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

 

God damn The Pusher

Gad damn The Pusher

I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

Champagne Supernova - Oasis

 

 

How many special people change?

How many lives are living strange?

Where were you while we were getting high?

Slowly walking down the hall

Faster than a cannonball

Where were you while we were getting high?

 

Someday you will find me

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky

Someday you will find me

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova

A champagne supernova in the sky

 

Wake up the dawn and ask her why

A dreamer dreams, she never dies

Wipe that tear away now from your eye

Slowly walking down the hall

Faster than a cannonball

Where were you while we were getting high?

 

Someday you will find me

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky

Someday you will find me

Caught beneath the landslide

In a champagne supernova in the sky

 

'Cuz we don't believe

That they're gonna get away from the summer

But you and I will never die

The world's still spinning around we don't know why

Why-why-why-why-i-i

We were getting high

Do the right thing!
