Well, I’m a lonesome schoolboy
And I just came into town
Yeah, I’m a lonesome schoolboy
And I just came into town
Well, I heard so much about london
I decided to check it out

Well, I wait in leicester square
With a come-hither look in my eye
Yeah, I’m leaning on nelsons column
But all I do is talk to the lime

Oh where can I get my cock sucked? 
Where can I get my ass fucked? 
I may have no money,
But I know where to put it every time

Well, I asked a young policeman
If he’d only lock me up for the night
Well, I’ve had pigs in the farmyard,
Some of them, some of them, they’re alright
Well, he fucked me with his truncheon
And his helmet was way too tight

Oh where can I get my cock sucked? 
Where can I get my ass fucked? 
I ain’t got no money,
But I know where to put it every time

I’m a lonesome schoolboy

Instrumental

Rock and roll music isn’t goin’ on the way it should be
We’re gettin’ in so we can’t see the wood from the tree
You know security can be so tight
That I can’t get away to play at night

Got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again ooh all over again

So simple when you only need electric guitar
Two records and I’m an international star
They introduced me as the boy next door
But I don’t live in that street no more

Well I’ve got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again ooh all over again
Start all over

I’ve got to find myself a living doll
Who’s always ready when I make my call

Well I’ve got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again...all over again

I’ve got to find a place make a little space
Start all over again
Start all over
Rock’n’roll music isn’t rock’n’roll etc....

Laying out on some early acts
Losing your way
Getting way off track
Ain’t no stopping
Time from coming

When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits

What’s easy for you
Comes so hard
What you got
Never got me far
There’s no stopping
The end from coming

When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits
When tomorrow hits

All right
Lookout
When tomorrow hits
It’ll hit you hard
When tomorrow hits
It’ll hit you hard
When tomorrow hits
It’ll hit you hard
When tomorrow hits

That’s the lowdown

(kinky friedman)

Well, a redneck nerd in a bowling shirt was a-guzzlin’ lone star beer
Talking religion and-uh politics for all the world to hear.
¡°they oughta send you back to russia, boy, or new york city one
You just want to doodle a christian girl and you killed god’s only son.¡±

I said, ¡°has it occurred to you, you nerd, that that’s not very nice,
We jews believe it was santa claus that killed jesus christ.¡±
¡°you know, you don’t look jewish,¡± he said, ¡°near as I could figger
I had you lamped for a slightly anemic, well-dressed country nigger.¡°

No, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore,
They don’t turn the other cheek the way they done before.
He started in to shoutin’ and a-spittin’ on the floor,
¡°lord, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore.¡±

He says, ¡°i ain’t a racist but aristitle onassis is one greek we don’t need
And them niggers, jews and sigma nus, all they ever do is breed.
And wops ¡®n micks ¡®n slopes ¡®n spics ¡®n spooks are on my list
And there’s one little hebe from the heart of texas ¡º is there anyone I missed ? ¡±

Well, I hits him with everything I had right square between the eyes.
I says, ¡°I’m gonna gitcha, you son of a bitch ya, for spoutin’ that pack of lies.
If there’s one thing I can’t abide, it’s an ethnocentric racist
Now you take back that thing you said ¡®bout aristitle onassis.¡±

No, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore,
We don’t turn the other cheek the way we done before.
You could hear that honky holler as he hit that hardwood floor
¡°lord, they sho’ ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore!¡±
All right!

No, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore,
We don’t turn the other cheek the way they done before.
You hear that honky holler as he hit that hardwood floor
Lord, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore.

Everybody!
They ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore,
They ain’t makin’ carpenters who know what nails are for.
Well, the whole damn place was singin’ as I strolled right out the door
¡°lord, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore!¡±

No, we ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore,
We don’t turn the other cheek the way they done before.
Well, the whole damn place was singin’ as I strolled right out the door
¡°lord, they ain’t makin’ jews like jesus anymore!¡±

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob’ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that’s me

But I’ve seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she’s small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be

Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who’s in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that’s good enough for me

Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that’s prob’ly where they’ll bury me

When I was a little bitty boy
Just up off-a floor
We used to go down to grandma’s house
Every monthend or so
We’d chicken pie and country ham
¡®n homemade butter on the bread
But the best darn thing about grandma’s house
Was her great big feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-’leven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It’d hold eight kids ¡®n’ four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn’t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On grandma’s feather bed

After the supper we’d sit around the fire
The old folks’d spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm and the war
And my grann’d sing a ballad or two
I’d sit and listen and watch the fire
Till the cobwebs filled my head
Next thing I’d know I’d wake up in the morning
In the middle of the old feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-’leven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It’d hold eight kids ¡®n’ four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn’t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On grandma’s feather bed

Well I love my ma, I love my pa
Love granny and grandpa too
Been fishing with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin
I even kissed aunt lou
But if ever had to make a choice
I guess it ought to be said
That I’d trade them all plus the gal down the road
For grandma’s feather bed

It was nine feet high and six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-’leven geese
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
It’d hold eight kids ¡®n’ four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn’t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On grandma’s feather bed

Words and music by jim connor

When you’re awake, the things you think
Come from the dream you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem

Sometimes you think you’ve lived before
All that you live to day
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way

Oh the tricks your mind can play

It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can’t remember where or when

The clothes you’re wearing are the close, you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can’t remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before
And that we laughed before, also loved before
But who knows where or when

(words & music by aaron schroeder and sid wyche)
Hey baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
No no no no no no no no baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ love will do

Don’t be a stingy little mama
You’re ’bout to starve me half to death
Well you can spare a kiss or two and
Still have plenty left, no no no
Baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ love will do

You’re just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
Well I ain’t greedy baby
All I want is all you got, no no no
Baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ love will do

I got wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit’s foot ’round my wrist
You know I’d have all the things these lucky charms could bring
If you’d give me just one sweet kiss, no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain’t askin’ much of you
Just a big-a big-a hunk o’ love will do

(curtis wright/robert ellis orrall)

What’s that
I hear angels singin’
Telling me to make my move
Listen to it
Their voices ringin’ baby
If you feel it get in the groove

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin’ out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you’re feelin’
I know what love is
What’s it to you

Time’s up
Train’s a leavin’ baby
Are you ready to take that ride
Get on board
Don’t keep me waiting baby
Say you’re willin’ to cross that line

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin’ out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you’re feelin’
I know what love is
What’s it to you

I’m sure your heart is telling you true
I gotta know what love is to you

’cause to me it’s the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin’ out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you’re feelin’
I know what love is
What’s it to you

Love is the rhythm of two hearts beating
Poundin’ out a message steady and true
Talk to me baby tell me what you’re feelin’
I know what love is
What’s it to you
I know what love is
What’s it to you

Genius to fall asleep to your tape last night
So warm
Sounds go through the muscles
These abstract wordless
Movements, move move move move move.
They start off cells that haven’t been touched before
These cells are virgins
Waking up slowly

My headphones
They saved my life
Your tape
It lulled me to sleep
To sleep, to sleep

Nothing will be the same
I’m fast asleep
I like this resonance
It elevates me
I don’t recognize myself
This is very interesting

My headphones
They saved my life
Your tape
It lulled me to sleep
To sleep, to sleep
I’m fast asleep now
I’m fast asleep

My headphones
They saved my life
Your tape
It lulled me to sleep
To sleep, to sleep.

My déjà vu...you’re my obsession

My déjà vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
We’ll get the magic back again
My déjà vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search

I wanna see you dancing naked
I wanna see you touch the moon
But when I try to reach your fingers
You just vanish into air
I wanna feel you with my senses
’cause I’m almost sure the texture of your skin
Is gonna tell me who you are

My déjà vu you’re my obsession
My déjà vu it’s always you

My déjà vu...

I wanna hold you like I used to
I wanna feel you in my blood
I wonder why I do confess this
To myself all the time
I know the time is working against us
But I’ll long for you the rest of my whole life
Like a prisoner of hope

My déjà vu you’re my obsession
My déjà vu it’s always you

I have tried to get to know you
To get you off my mind
It feels like going back in time
And snap, I see your finger once again
My déjà vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search

My déjà vu you’re my obsession
My déjà vu it’s always you
My déjà vu you’re my obsession

It’s 4 in the morning july in ¡®69
Me and my sister
We crept down like shadows
They’re bringing the moon right down to our sitting room
Static and silence and a monochrome vision

They’re dancing around
Slow puppets silver ground
And the world is watching with joy
We hear a voice from above and it’s history
And we stayed awake all night

And something is said and the whole room laughs aloud
Me and my sister
Looking on like shadows
The end of an age as we watched them walk in a glow
Lost in space, but I don’t know where it is

They’re dancing around
Slow puppets silver ground
And the stars and stripes in the sand
We hear a voice from above and it’s history
And we stayed awake all night

They’re dancing around
It sends a shiver down my spine
And I run to look in the sky and
I half expect to hear them asking to come down
(oh) will they fly or will they fall? 
To be excited by a long late night

I hear that bird chirpin’ in the tree
I wonder what he’s seein’ I don’t see
Now everybody’s happy, but today I feel so wrong
So I guess I’ll just shut up and move along

Chasin’ dreams that float like dust in th’ air
Grab ’em once, but twice, they disappear
Up in smoke they hover, like dope rings from a bong
So I guess I’ll just shut up and move along

I was thinkin’ ’bout you just the other day
And if you could see me now, and what you’d say
Some things do get better¨c¨cyeah, the « weak (week? ) » goes to the strong
But then I guess I’ll just shut up and move along

I hear that bird chirpin’ in the tree
I wonder what he’s seein’ I don’t see
Everybody’s happy, but today I feel so wrong
So I guess I’ll just shut up and move along
Guess I’ll just shut up and move along
Guess I’ll just shut up and move along
Just move along

Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Do you smell like a girl when you smile
Can you bear not to share with your child
Drifting and floating and fading away v
Little lune
All day
Little lune

Porcelain
Do you carry the moon in your womb
Someone said that you’re fading too soon
Drifting and floating and fading away

Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Nodding and melting and fading away

Little lune
All day
Little lune...

Nadadum dadadada dada da...
Take me down to the river where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes to a place we both know
And I’m feeling much younger as I kneel on the ground
Dip my toe in the water of the river where I watched you drown
Nadadum nananana nana na...
Oh when the river ran dry that next year
I could not find your body
Now I’m standing here ready at last to dive down and reach you again
And I long to be with you
Now these cold nights have come oh I go down to the river but the river will stop for
No-one
Though I ask it it keeps flowing on
When I ask it, it tells me you’re gone
Dadow...

Seven seas seven skies
Lightning strikes and brave men die
Tatanka great, tatanka small
When darkness comes they kill them all
Tatanka

You take what you want but you don’t ask
You’re future doesn’t lie with things of the past
The search for freedom will never be found
As long as we stand upon this sacred ground

The curse of the curses upon the land
One day tatanka will make a stand
Take back the soul of mother nature
Give back the spirit of a world endangered
Tatanka comes, stand and deliver

The souls of the brave lie on forever
The tale of tears is a tale of courage
Tatanka comes from across the river

Chorus repeat

The battles were fought and the damage was done
The wars not over it’s just begun
The debt that’s owed will never be payed
The promised land will never be saved

The curse of curses fire on the land
Today tatanka has made a stand
Their forefathers dreams, hopes, and vision
Through children’s eyes has it been forgiven

Chorus repeat

Le lakota tolowan yelo

Channi tatanka oyate ki
Icic’ upi nahan taku un
Umnipi nahan unkotipi kte k’un
Lepa unk’ upelo
Wasicu ki ahi nahan
Wicakasota pi tka
Tatanka tawowakan ki lena
Hecenanhgluhapelo

This is a song for the lakota

Long time ago the buffalo
Nation gave themselves
So we can survive and
Have shelter
The white man came
And wiped them out
But we still have the spirit
The power of the buffalo

Tatanka comes, stand and deliver
The souls of the brave live forever
The trail of the rears is a tale of courage
Tatanka comes, tatanka comes

Time from the man, who will live while he can, on his own
Pass by the dream, it’s movie you’ve seen once before
Tears in the rain, as you wave at the plane
As it climbs through the clouds, to the sun

You are the one, oh, you are the one
You make it all worthwhile, you make it all worthwhile
You are the one, oh, you are the one
You make it all worthwhile, you make it all worthwhile
I see your picture smiling back at me
But I’m afraid of the future, I’m afraid you won’t see

Look for the slave, is he trying to wave or to drown? 
There at the start, he’ll be there when your heart touches down
Drawn to the pain, like a moth to a flame
As he climbs through the clouds, to the sun

You are the one, oh, you are the one
You make it all worthwhile, you make it all worthwhile
You are the one (you are the one)
Oh, you are the one (you’re the only one)
You make it all worthwhile (you make it all worthwhile)
You make it all worthwhile
I see your picture smiling back at me
But I’m afraid of the future, I’m afraid you won’t see

Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away

I told my mama how I feel about your power
Your love can heal, can’t no doctor’s remedy
Ever do what you do for me

Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
Eeny weeny teeny bit of your love
Baby it’s all I need, it’s all I need

Since the day I’ve been loving you
I can’t catch a cold, I can’t catch the flu’
The sweet loving you’ve been giving me
Has become my daily need

Just a little o’ your love, every day
It’s all I need, that’s all I need
Just a little bit baby
That’s all I need, that’s all I need

So don’t send no doctor to my door
’cause doctor john been here before
Don’t you send him, just come yourself
Bring your loving and nothing else

Ooh just a, just a,
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away
Just a little bit of you every day
Will surely keep the doctor away

I can’t wait, wanna see
How this night is gonna be
Just touch away
From feelin’ forever, baby
Our love will stand the test of time
And in the middle of our world
I’ll be waiting for you to be all mine

We’re walkin’ on sunshine
In the middle of the night
And it feels like I’m somewhere
Above the sky, i, i, i

Take my hand and close your eyes
Say the sweet little things
That make me cry
Catch my tears with a kiss
These special moments do exist
We can make it last forever, baby
Our love will stand the test of time
And in the middle of our world
I’ll be waiting for you to be all mine

We’re walkin’ on sunshine
In the middle of the night
And it feels like I’m somewhere
Above the sky, i, i, i

It’ll take much more than a lifetime
Baby, for this love to end
And it feels so good to know
That we are here in love again

Hello darlin’ - I’m home again
Covered in shit and aches and pains
Too knackered to think so give me time to come round
Just gimme the living room beat to the tv sound -
My hard earned dough goes in bills and the larder
And that prince philip tells us we gotta work harder!
It seems a constant struggle just to exist
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists -

From this window I’ve seen the whole world pass
From dawn to dusk I’ve heard the last laugh laughed
I’ve seen enough tears to wash away this street
I’ve heard wedding bells chime and a funeral march
When as one life finishes another one starts -
Alright then love so I’ll be off now
It’s back to the lunchbox and worker/management rows
There’s gotta be more to this old life then this
Scrimping and saving and crossing of lists

I saw it somewhere in a magazine
Or maybe saw it playing on a tv screen
Something about love - now I forget it
Maybe it was how not to regret it
Oh yeah

I heard it playing out on the radio
It said when you’re in love you gotta take it slow
But baby with you I can’t beat about it
I just got to make you believe it
Oh yeah

So i’ll
Send it in a letter baby
Write it on the wall
That’s the way I like it
Losing all control
Send it in a letter baby
Then you’ll understand
You put a start on me
Right through the heart of me

Somebody help me now get back to ground
The way you got me turnin’ upside down
But baby you know I can’t do without it
I get depressed just thinking about it
Oh yeah

Chorus

Cause I like all the things that you do to me
And I’m sending my message to you
You got a special kind of mystery
And it sends me on

Chorus

(chip taylor)

And his love will be his vision
And he’ll take you where you stand
And will you stand your life by his
And help the boy become a man

And he’d be the son of his father his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler

Will the devil be getting to you as you look back
Over what you’ve done
And what you’ve done was it for reason or rhyme
Was it just for fun

And he’d be the son of his father his father the teacher
Teachin’ love and honesty being his own man handler
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler

Back on the road now you can lose your head
There ain’t no kingdom for the gambling man
You know the road now and you’ve made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you

And he’d be the son of his father his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler

Back on the road now you can lose your head
There ain’t no kingdom for the gambling man
You know the road now and you’ve made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you

And he’d be the son of his father his father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
Or the son of the son of run of the mill run
Rotten gambler

Well you know your time has come and you’re sorry for what you’ve done
You should’ve never have been playing with a gun
In those complicated shadows
Well there’s a line that you must toe
And it’ll soon be time to go
But it’s darker than you know in those complicated shadows

All you gangsters and rude clowns
Who were shooting up the town
When you should have found someone to put the blame on
Though the fury’s hot and hard
I still see that cold graveyard
There’s a solitary stone that’s got your name on

You don’t have to take it from me
But I know what I spake
You think you’re like iron and steel
But iron and steel will bend and break
In those complicated shadows

Go!

Sometimes justice you will find
Is just dumb not colour-blind
And your poor shattered mind can’t take it all in
All those phantoms and those shades
Should jump up on judgement day
And say to the almighty I’m still stinking of sin

But the jury was dismissed
Took his neck and they give it a twist
So you see you won’t be missed in those complicated shadows

You can say just what you like in a voice like a john ford film
Take the law into your hands
You will soon get tired of killing
In those complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Complicated shadows
Complicated shadows

Go!

(wilbert harrison)

Together we stand
Divided we fall
Come on now people let’s get on the ball
Let’s work together
Come on, come one, let’s work together

Make someone happy
Make someone smile
Let’s all work together and make life worthwhile
Let’s work together
Come on, come on, let’s work together
Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

2 or 3 minutes
2 or 3 hours
What does it matter in this life of ours
Let’s work together
Come on, come on, let’s work together
Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road that you travel seems all up hill
Let’s work together
Come on, come on, let’s work together
Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

’cause together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

Yeah together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

I stand before you with my mind open wide
Waiting to receive whatever will be
The world the eyes survey is not the only world
For deep within the soul can be found all things

Like the shape of sound, the shape of wind
Like the shape of things when they first begin
How could I stop what I had to start
The cry of a waking heart

(chorus):
All I want is to love you
All I need is to get through
What I believe is a light in the dark
The crying of a waking heart

You shine inside me like the moon in the stream
And the waters flow around me

Like the colour of sun I cannot explain
Behind the familiar the view is strange
Maybe to love is to fly apart
And this emotion the cry of a waking heart

(chorus):

(bridge):
Golden slumber
Now and forever
Truly rising
Imagine heaven
One vibration
This eternal thing

(chorus x2, out)

(carly simon/jacob brackman)

Chain smoking cigarettes
Enemies across the table
Wonderin’ if I can ever trust anyone again
We argue through the night
The restaurant shuts, you catch your flight
I hail a cab with no idea where home might be

(chorus)
We both believed my chance was gone
But ain’t it strange how life goes on
A storm can never rage forever
And darkness only lasts ’til dawn

Hotel blinds stay down
Nothing seems to make me care
I can’t find a reason to comb my hair
Folks walkin’ in the street
Everyone has something to do
My brain won’t stop showin’ those old movies of you

Weeks pass,
And your voice sounds strange on the telephone
Strange how smooth and casual my own voice sounds
I find that I’m listening to
A tuen coming over my radio
It makes me think of a guy I knew a while ago
A while ago a while ago

Should’ve kept on goin’
But the hurt was showing
When she looked at me that way
I had to stay
I knew I had to get to know her name

The town was weary
She was to marry
Someone planned years ago
Her eyes said no
I knew I had to get to know her name

And when I got her all alone
She told me through the tears
That she didn’t really loved him
But he’d waited for so many years
She said she couldn’t break his heart
She’d rather live with hers
And though I told her she should leave with me
She just could not believe with me

Should’ve kept on goin’
Better that than knowin’
That he made her his wife
He took her life
You know I didn’t even know her name
You know I didn’t even know her name

(claude s.)

If I could speak and call you
Friend, would you hear me to
The end? 
We could see farther than the
Sun. we could pretend we
Were as one...
And if by chance I were to fall,
Would you help me or turn to
Go? and if the grace of all my
Dreams could settle parts of
You that scream...
I know what I could see in
You...
I know what I could be in you...
And if you promise to be home
You’ll get to keep me till you’re old...
And if the grace of all my
Dreams could settle parts of
You that scream...
I know what I can see in
You...
I know what I can be in you...
I know what I can see in you...
I know what I can be in you...

Care not for the men who wonder
Straw that broke your back, you’re under
Cast all them aside who care
Empty eyes and dead end stare

Don’t you know that none are blind
To the lie, and you think I don’t find what you hide? 

What in god’s name have you done? 
Stick your arm for some real fun

For the horse you’ve grown much fonder
Than for me, that I don’t ponder
As the hair of one who bit you
Smiling bite your own self, too

And I think that you’re not blind
To the ones you left behind
I’ll be here

So be yearning all your life
Twisting, turning like a knife

Now you know the reasons why
Can’t get high, or you will die
Or you’ll die

So your sickness weighs a ton
And god’s name is smack for some

I bet I know your day
Bet you left for work ’bout ten minutes late
You didn’t even wear the dress I bought
Didn’t eat at our favorite spot baby
You found a new place uum
So I’m sittin’ here at the same time
Pickin’ up the pieces you left behind
Oh now God know that I miss your face
Can’t help but wonder what it takes baby
To get back in your life girl

How often do you think of me
How often do I enter your mind girl
Is there ever a time
How often do you cry for me
I cry for you like all the time
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

Your mind, your mind

Girl what we had was so strong
That’s why it lasted so long yeah
You couldn’t find yourself a better man
That’s why I just don’t understand dear
Why you’re not here girl

Hook

I’ve got to get back to you
The reasons are so clear
I know that I can’t live without you
Now that you’re not here
I’m savin’ everything I got
I’m holdin’ on to you
We were wrong to let things go
I need to know you still love me

Hook

Love don’t need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can’t stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Don’t find yourself in me

I can’t lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again

Love don’t need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that you can stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

You know it only breaks my heart
To see you standing in the dark alone
Waiting there for me to come back

I’m too afraid to show

If it’s coming over you
Like it’s coming over me
I’m crashing like a tidal wave
That drags me out to the sea
And I wanna be with you
And you wanna be with me
I’m crashing like a tidal wave
And I don’t wanna be
Stranded, stranded, stranded, stranded

I can only take so much
These tears are turning me to rust
I know you’re waiting there for me to
Come back

I’m to afraid to show

I miss you, I need you
Without you, I’m stranded
I love you so come back

I’m not afraid to show

Somebody’s gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody’s gonna come undone.
There’s nothin’ we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance,
Make it come out right.

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.
Lord, I know.

Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can’t hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now.
There’s too much goin’ on.

This night is gonna last forever.
Last all, last all summer long.
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight, I know.
Lord I know.

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
The moon’s shinin’ bright
So turn out the light, and we’ll get it right.
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight, a
Heartache tonight I know.
Heartache baby,

Somebody’s gonna hurt someone, (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody’s gonna come undone,
There’s nothin’ we can do
(everybody) everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,
A heartache tonight ,i know
Let’s go.
We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin’ lot,
But either way, there’s gonna be a
Heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There’ll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight I know.

Devil on the left
Angel on the right
There’s no mistake
Who’ll I be w/ tonight
Over the fore
Lamb’s head on my lap
Days
Pass like weeks w/o the sight

Thencomes the fury of the lullaby
Thencomes the fury of the lullaby

Heartbeat in a hole
An eyeball loose and wild
Dropping memories
Out upon the open tiles
And over to the left
There sit the loveless ones
Crying slowly and sucking on a gun

Do you wear the mark
Do you wear the mark
Darling darling
Do you wear the mark

Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Can’t help but wonder what’s happenin’ to my companions,
Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost it’ll take to bring
Down
All their earthly principles they’re gonna have to abandon? 
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

I had a woman down in alabama,
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic,
She said, boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out,
You could die down here, be just another accident statistic.
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

All that foreign oil controlling american soil,
Look around you, it’s just bound to make you embarrassed.
Sheiks walkin’ around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings,
Deciding america’s future from amsterdam and to paris
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

Man’s ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don’t apply no more,
You can’t rely no more to be standin’ around waitin’
In the home of the brave, jefferson turnin’ over in his grave,
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate satan
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters,
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,
All non-believers and men stealers talkin’ in the name of religion
And there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it.
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions,
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to
Live it. there’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

Well, my baby went to illinois with some bad-talkin’ boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin’ I could do to stop it,
I don’t care about economy, I don’t care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets,
There’s a slow, slow train comin’ up around the bend.

It took two hours to drive out of post-quake l.a.
Where the freeway is sliced up like sheet cake
Got new tires I’m not gonna worry
Got three days to go so I’m not in a hurry
Get into tucson and what do I find
I’m having some trouble just keeping my mind
On the 10.

Driving by that detour we took
To watch the sunset at the scenic overlook
The light was lovely but to my surprise
The most violent colors were in your eyes
All the reds and yellows, black and blue
It’s what I remember from driving with you
On the 10.

On the 10.

Whoa oh, white noise and lightening
Ooooo on the radio, oh no.

Looking up a tree like a georgia o’keefe
And the texas stars are in high relief
University road, you think I’d have learned
So many new ways to get bitten and burned
At the devil’s river inn at three a.m.
Hey, give me those keys I gotta get
Back on the 10.

On the 10.

Whoa oh, white noise and lightening
Ooooo on the radio, go robert, go!

Feeling unbound of heart and breast
Got the visor down and I’m headed west
A little wiser now, I’m unimpressed
By the secret you and I confessed
On the 10 (whoa oh).

On the 10 (whoa oh)
On the 10 (whoa oh)
On the 10 (whoa oh).

Here we go
The people show
Victims of tomorrow
The way it goes
It never shows
Emptiness or sorrow
There is nothing left inside
Nothing left to cry for
So I justify my crimes
Things that I must die for

So alone
Away it goes
The life that you have wasted
You never know
Where it might go
The sweet success you’ve tasted
Tasted by a bitter frown
Knowing I must die for
Can’t confide, to all the lies
No one to inquire

As I wander, change os seasons
As I realize
That I’ll soon be there

I’ll let you know
The reapers show
Makes you beg or borrow
He comes to see
The tragedy
His fate he will not follow
Wearing your electric crown
The preacher starts to pray
Shiver as the lights go down
Heed these words I say

As I wander
Change of seasons
I can’t ponder
I got my reasons
As I realize
I don’t care
All I know is
That I’ll soon be there

Now it’s done
The time has come
The people stand in silence
Another dawn
Has come and gone
His fate has been decided
There is no one left inside
A brain without a mind
Traces of a bitter man
Are all that you will find

Chorus

Oh the mud splattered victims
Have to pay out all along the ancient highway
Torn between half truth and victimisation
Fighting back with counter attacks

It’s when that rough God goes riding
When the rough God goes gliding
And then rough God goes riding
Riding on in

I was flabbergasted by the headlines
People in glasshouses throwing stones
Gaping wounds that will never heal
Now they’re moaning like a dog in a manger

It’s when that rough God goes riding
And then the rough God goes gliding
There’ll be nobody hiding
When that rough God comes riding on in

And it’s a matter of survival
When you’re born with your back against the wall
Won’t somebody hand me a bible
Won’t you give me that number to call

When that rough God goed riding
And then that rough God goes gliding
They’ll be nobody hiding
When that rough God goes riding on in
Riding on in

When that rough God goed riding
When that rough God goes gliding
There’ll be nobody hiding
When that rough God goes riding on in
Riding on in

There’ll be no more heroes
They’ll be reduced to zero
When that rough God goes riding
Riding on in
Riding on in
Riding on in
Riding on in

The one you want

But it makes more sense
To be near the riverside
Yeah, it makes more sense
’cos the grass grows high
It makes more sense
To be near to you baby

The very, very, very, very sad truth is
I never think sensibly
Thr very, very, very, very, very sad truth is

Getting tired
Getting lied to

I love everything about you
I love the way you comb your hair
And I love the way you sachet in the room
Your perfume lingers in the air
I love everything about you
Whoa, about you
Mmm-mmm

I love the way you lick your lips, dear
You got fireworks in your head
And I love the way you bring me water
When I’m thirsty in your bed
I love everything about you
Whoa, about you
Mmm-mmm

You were surely kissed by angels
Look at the freckles on your face
You got the devil in your eyes
You disappear without a trace

I love sneaking up behind you
When you’re looking in the mirror
The way your eyes lock in to mine, dear
Without guilt and without fear
I love everything about you
Whoa, about you
Mmm-mmm

Rain song
So beautiful my dream
Overcome
Rain song
Rain song
So beautiful my dream
Overcome
Drives me crazy
Look on the side
The lighter side
Set in store that split the night
That I bring pain
Put a word to these
This thin line greased, I can’t see
Fingers stain my gold

Sweet clover (3x)

Sweet

Which side you on which side you on
The silence near the battle cry
Hollow victory
Which lie do you own which lie do you own
The lines divide I walk away
Blazing sun sets on my back

Sweet clover (3x)

Sweet

I can’t despise them
Inside them
Inside them I am (4x)

Help me god
The silence near the battle cry
Hollow victory
Which lie do you own which lie do you own
The lines divide I walk away
Blazing sun sets on my back

Sweet clover (3x)

Sweet
I can’t despise them
Inside them
Inside them I am (3x)

I can’t despise you
Inside you
Him!
Inside him...when we might be down

Lauryn’s rap
Watch the master plan the pastures span
Through the streets move the sheep
Flipped the beat like the shepherd
It’s a new day my crew stay forever striving
Give thanks cause we alive and been through the gutter
Now we see the horizon
It’s clear to me now
Used to be confused took a lot of years to see how
Now we moving planets
Take the average mind and expand it
You take for granted like we’re always gonna be disadvantaged
But soon come it soon come ya soon done
Ya start run you stumble we catch one
In the rhythm santana lick the guits with precision
Not accidental intentional conscious decision
To zion we’re marching through with african mayans
Conquering babylon with the heart of a lion
And the walls of jericho come a tumbling down

Tell me how long has it been
Is everything everything alright my friend

You see time is passing people asking how come none of this ain’t lasting
Money will make people deal like they don’t even have to feel
But no it ain’t real it ain’t real

Oh do you like the way that it’s going down
Do you like the way that it’s going down
Ooh do you like the way

How long how long will we wait to sit down and communicate
See everything is relative if you want to get then give
Can’t we all just build and live can’t we can’t we

Do you like the way that it’s going down
Do you like the way that it’s going down
Do you like the way that it’s going down
Do you like the way that it’s going down

[redman]
Aiyyo yo fuck that!
Aiyyo I gotta find my motherfuckin mojo
Aiyyo reggie noble, aiyyo reggie noble c’mere nigga!
Aiyyo start it off while I tell you how it went down

Yo, yo
Put the drop down, get your smoke on
Get your feel on, are you feeling? 
Get your girl on, get your squeeze on
Get your bus on, are you chilling? 
Are you wheeling, are you feeling? 
How you feeling?  and we gon’ hooo-oooh-ooh
(tell me what you doin)

C’mon, yo yo-yo yo, yo yo
I had to put the mash down, throw the cash around
Stay focused, on the case put the hash down
Jetted through the air about five miles per hour
My mojo gone I can’t fly like I wanna
But this case is easy, find that motherfucker that
Couldn’t wait to be me, put his face on tv
From the tec blow, I asked my ex-hoes
Pass off some info for a pair of x.o.’s
Write the check low, I don’t do that
I told you that shit before when I boned your back
Now I’m back to square one, and everybody hatin
So I popped the flare gun, now they all escapin
Ran into gator, from _jungle fever_
He’s my people and my neighbor, I said I need a favor
He said for ten dollars, and for ten whoppers
From burger king, I’ll tell you the nigga who gotcha
Gave him what he wanted plus the extra large fry
He said blue eyes, blonde hair, a white guy
I said... what the fuck goin on? 
A white guy interruptin my fuck flowin on? 
So I copped some new ammo, reloaded my flare gun
Stalkin like rambo, mixed with commando
Gator pushed the ten-speed bike, I’m on the handle
Crashed into somethin cause he high off my man blow
I jumped up and backtracked myself
Who’s the last hoe I fucked or throat I cut? 
I said wait a minute, yo, that bitch jane on the prowl again
I bet she up to no good, actin foul again
Yeah, yeah, it ain’t nuttin, I get her if I want her
Matter of fact I’m gonna cause she live around the corner
I walked up scared with my hands on my flares and my armor
Cause she bring drama like jeffrey dahmer
But I heard fuckin all the way from the bottom
I’m like, damn she yellin! kinda made me jealous
Knocked on the door enraged
Like a broke-ass rapper, at a label that ain’t toured in days
Do it clown, before I count to four now
Cause if I hit five them flares’ll blow your door down
I heard the zipper zip up, and they was tryin to run
So I re-clipped the clip up, and blew it before one
Freeze motherfuckers, I jumped on jane back
I want the cheese motherfuckers, and my name back
We tusslin, fightin, bitin skin and rustlin
Slaps in the face, chokes with the belt buckle and
Her knees bucklin, I thought to myself
Where’s that motherfuckin white guy she was fuckin? then
Right out the blue {*clang!*} owww! {*birds chirpin*}
Who dat?  who dere?

Hook:
Well I think I’m going out of my head
Yes, I think I’m going out of my head,
I think i’m, think i’m, think i’m....
Life’s a bitch then you never come back...
Yo! peep the realness...

Verse one:

I’m a shadow of my former self
So when the sun sets west,
I rock and slap box with hip-hop
Cuz it’s much harder to get props than it is to fall off and flop
I payed dues til I paid do nots.
And will never will what you say affect the outcome --
See, momma always told me opinions are like assholes
Cuz everyone has got one.
But you couldn’t tell me shit if I stepped in it.
Once I enter psychosis, paranormal, focus I perplex niggas and niggettes,
I play this rap shit closer than gilettes against the neck and juglar vien
Blowing out my own fucking brain without lead projectiles,
Bled when I project styles and meanwhile, existence is a life sentence
And since I’m broke I take the risk, forced to hustle
’cuz raw power moves, require muscle knowing I’m going out trife
Already got one strike, two more and that’s life without possibility of
Paroll
Having to stroll in my shoes ain’t easy
Lookin’ forward to 3 hots from a cell block fuckin’ my fifi nigga feel me? 
’cuz if it ain’t the cancer sticks I hit this hypertension’s gonna kill me
And fuck a platinum plaque, all I want is a niggas dap
And enough snaps to put clothes on my daughters back steph.
See this without an optometrist I’m stuck in the middle of this bitch -
Like ya momma’s gynacologist.
Make a radio hit - headz criticize it
Underground classic - nobody buys it:
So, rap is fucked
And everything blowing up sounds redundant
But money talks and bullshit does 9 flat in the hundred
And goddamn if I don’t slam my wallets in danger
So I’m coming out like unborn baby’s with hangers
And chronic stress is comtemplated so fuck being high ras kass is elevated

Chorus:
Well I think I’m going out of my head, reelishymn, reelishymn
Yes, I think I’m going out of my head, reelishymn, reelishymn
Well I think I’m going out of my head
Yes, I think I’m going out of my head

Verse two:

Who can I blame cuz my skull can’t contain these thought waves
My syntax hydroplanes as though my brain
Slides over liquidated grains of asphault caught cranial calluses
Over analysis leads to paralysis, mediocrity my nemesis
Try to fuck every radical feminist I meet, call it engage and defeat
That’s the reason why black men hide in the womb, homes
Cuz life is all taxes and tombstones
So as flesh and bone I zone my thoughts explode with rap shranel syntax
That’ll wax to the past, and present the future of ras kass lies in the
Skull
Like the coronal suture
So I write truly fat shit for the core audience
But sometimes I wonder does it really exist? 
Cuz true lyricists in hip-hop joe public be dissin
Niggas don’t relate
Elevate and it’s treated like elevator music
Cuz’ nigga don’t listen
But ridicle is the burden of genius
Have you ever seen this socioeconomic gullitine rip? 
A nigga’s hopes and dreams
And now I’m lead to believe that life is all about cream
I’m living a life idealistically principle over profit
But realistically good intentions are micropic to fat pockets
Exploitation is world’s oldest occupation
And it’s the task of jamaican chicken when a nigga gets jerked
Causing me to revert to verses -
Versus snapping like your neighborhood post office worker
(before the source and rappages)
Niggas said my rhyme wasn’t fly now I have the juice like omar epps
And crooked i
Fools be on my dick like foreskin
But what before then, so now when niggas prop me I’m skeptical
Becuz this rap shit is extremely unethical
And with slight notoriety comes anxiety
Now I’m supposed to play celebrity when nobody celebrated me at my d.o.b
And label reps wanna play me
But I’m familar with record company rule #4080:
Fuck luther and sadie for talking food out my babies mouth denying sample
Clearance
I’m losing my mind
Outter body experience it’s paranormal
I say it ain’t all good though
So fuck the world with an aids infected dildo (doggy style)
Life’s a bitch named monogamy -- you only get one --
I’m trapped in this path of pathology

Chorus:
And I think I’m going out of my head, check it, reelishymn, reelishymn
Yes, I think I’m going out of my head, check it out, reelishymn,
Reelishymn
Well I think I’m going out of my head, reelishymn, reelishymn
Yes, I think I’m going out of my head, it’s the reelishymn
Well, I think I’m x 7, yes, I think I’m x 7... <fade>

Ev’ry time I’m walking all down the street
Some pretty mama start breaking down on me.
Stop breaking down, baby, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust you brains out, baby,
Gonna make you lose your mind.

You saturday night women, now, you just ape and clown,
You don’t do nothing but tear my reputation down.
Stop breaking down, mama, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust you brains out, baby,
Yeah, it’s gonna make you lose your mind.

I love my baby ninety nine degrees,
But that mama got a pistol, laid it down on me.
Stop breaking down, baby, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust you brains out, baby,
Yeah, gonna make you lose your mind.

Ev’ry time I’m walking all down the street
Some pretty woman start breaking down on me.
Stop breaking down, mama, please, stop breaking down.
Stuff is gonna bust your brains out, baby,
Gonna make you lose your mind.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, it’s so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge.
The moon is low tonight.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I’m not sure all these people understand.
It’s not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.

Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September’s coming soon.
I’m pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun? 
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.

You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.

The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.

(richie furay)

Well there goes another day
Now I wonder why
You and i
Keep telling lies
I can’t believe that what you say
’cause tomorrows lullaby
Can’t passify
My lonesome crying

We’ll make believe that’s all you know
And to make lelieve is a game
A child’s rein
You’ve changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
Sin watched you become
Truth is the shame
Yeah, too much pain

Here’s a little somethin for the players out there hustlin
Gettin down for theirs
From east pointe, college park, decatur, devries...

My man, the scene was so thick
Lowriders, seventy-seven sevilles
El do’s, nuttin but them ’llacs
All the players (deporte in the house) all the hustlers
I’m talkin bout a black man heaven here
Youknowhati’msayin?  yeah

*singing*
Cadillacs are comin, from everywhere (yeahhh)
Limbo boppin good cause love is in the air
To all you players and you pimps smoke out and have a ball
And if your hoe is actin crazy --

-- put her on the wall
Now now now everybody’s dancin and just feelin right
I see all of you players got yourselves laid in on ice
I hope when all y’all dance is over, can I get onn, yeah
My kids’ll have a story, that still be told, whoooa, about

All the players came, from far and wide
Wearin afros and braids, kickin them gangster rides
Now I’m here to tell ya, there’s a better day
When the player ball is happenin, all day eryday

I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn’t look at you
I guess you knew it but I never realized
That we were through

And now I’m down here all alone
With every feeling that I own
You can’t take that away

And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create
Will come to you someday

And I was touched
By the hand of god
Never knew it
But of course I was

I never hoped to do the things in this world
I wanted to
Because everything I own
It belongs to you

I never looked at you in a sexual way
In my life before
And I’ve never woken up like this
So desparately before

And I was touched
By the hand of god
Never knew it
But of course I was

I caught you knockin’ at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don’t understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out.

I’ve seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie’s like a settin’ sun.

By your leave, I think that I’ll be going now
I think I’ve stayed a little long
I looked up all my mother’s recipes
I can’t think what I did wrong

We go to a restaurant, but you don’t like wine
You say it’s love you want, but there is no time
I realize, I can see it in your eyes
You keep staring at the floor

I used to look at your school photographs
But I don’t have them anymore
I wonder who’s in my old college rooms
Or stuck on my old locker door

I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night
I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright
I realize, I can see it in your eyes
I’ve only got myself to blame

Winter kisses when your lips were blue
Like chasing wild geese in the snow
Pressing faces on the window panes
But that’s a long long time ago

We go to a restaurant
You say it’s love you want
I realize, I can see it in your eyes
You’re moving on to something more

Hello good evening and welcome

I’ve been down the high road towards the crossroads
To hear the sound thats buggin me.
Catchy little rhythms in music and rhyme, it’s that nutty sound you see.

Rhythm....

As I got nearer I heard it clearer , it started to affect my brain
Its that nutty rhythm that gets yout thinking your almost going insane.
I felt the greound shake,
I had a feeling I was sitting on an old steam train

Shaking in me knee bones and me elbows, it’s driving me around the bend
Uncontrollable feelings sends me reeling,
Theres no need top pretend

Melody...

It had me spell bound, span me head round,
I could feel myself going mad.

Now I am an addict,
I have to hear it,
Everything else sounds bad.....

Take your mind back - I don’t know when
Sometime when it always seemed
To be just us and them
Girls that wore pink
And boys that wore blue
Boys that always grew up better men
Than me and you

What’s a man now - what’s a man mean
Is he rough or is he rugged
Is he cultural and clean
Now it’s all change - it’s got to change more
’cause we think it’s getting better
But nobody’s really sure

And so it goes - go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are

See the nice boys - dancing in pairs
Golden earring golden tan
Blow-wave in the hair
Sure they’re all straight - straight as a line
All the gays are macho
Can’t you see their leather shine

You don’t want to sound dumb - don’t want to offend
So don’t call me a faggot
Not unless you are a friend
Then if you’re tall and handsome and strong
You can wear the uniform and I could play along

And so it goes - go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are

Time to get scared - time to change plan
Don’t know how to treat a lady
Don’t know how to be a man
Time to admit - what you call defeat
’cause there’s women running past you now
And you just drag your feet

Man makes a gun - man goes to war
Man can kill and man can drink
And man can take a whore
Kill all the blacks - kill all the reds
And if there’s war between the sexes
Then there’ll be no people left

And so it goes - go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are

St overnight.

I find myself between two worlds
Bewildered all to hell
Up north I have my mid-town life
Down here my new hotel
What kind of a dream is this
Ion’t know where I will land
It’s a caribbean fairy tale
The snow has turned to sand

Chorus:
But he’s happy
I understand
And thats the key
To my man

Bridge:
I’d like to have a clearer view
And listen to my hunches
Without the rum-lined kinjan fog
Of a thousand planter’s punches
Iguess I’ll have to let it go
And simply tag along
Just let myself get all caught up
Forget what’s right or wrong
What kind of dream is this
That’s causing me this strife
My husband’s chasing windmills
And I’m still the nervous wife

Chorus:
Cause he’s happy
And he’s my man
What good’s this key in my hand
Oh he’s happy
I understand
And that’s the key
To my man

Keep, keep, keep, keep, k, k, k, k

Keep - keep - keep - keep feeling
Keep feeling - keep feeling - k - k - k - k

If it seems a little time is needed
Decisions to be made
The good advice of friends unheeded
The best of plans mislaid
Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way
The forming of a new connection
To study or to play

Keep feeling
Keep feeling
K - k
Keep feeling

If it seems a little time.........(record stops)

Isn’t it weird. isn’t it strange.
Even though we’re just two strangers on this runaway train
We’re both trying to find a place in the sun
We’ve lived in the shadows, but doesn’t everyone
Isn’t it strange how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes
Isn’t it hard. standing in the rain.
You’re on the verge of going crazy and your heart’s in pain
No one can hear though you’re screaming so loud
You feel all alone in a faceless crowd
Isn’t it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes.
Sitting on the side. waiting for a sign. hoping that my luck will change.
Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.
When you live in a cookie cutter world being different is a sin.
So you don’t stand out. and you don’t fit in. weird.
Sitting on the side. waiting for a sign. hoping that my luck will change.
Reaching for a hand that can understand, someone who feels the same.
When you live in a cookie cutter world if you’re different you can’t win.
So you don’t stand out and you don’t fit in. weird.
Isn’t it strange how we all feel a little bit weird
Strange, how we all get a little bit.
Strange, ’cause we’re all just a little bit weird sometimes.

Will I ever find the girl on my mind, the one who is my ideal
Maybe she’s a dream, and yet she might be
Just around the corner waiting for me.
Will I recognize the light in her eyes, that no other eyes reveal
Or will I pass her by and never even know that she is my ideal.

Written by christine mcvie.

Could you ever need me
And would you know how
Don’t waste our time
Tell me now
All you have to do
Is speak out my name,
And I would come running, anyway

And I said
Could it be me, could it really really be? 
Over and over

Don’t turn me away
And don’t let me down
What can I do
To keep you around

Over and over
Over and over.

(words & music by willy nelson)
Well hello there,
My it’s been a long long time
How am I doin’,
Oh well I guess I’m doin’ fine
It’s been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain’t it funny how time slips away

How’s your new love,
I hope that he’s doin’ fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you’d love him till the end of time
Well you know, that’s the same thing
That you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain’t it funny how time slips away

Gotta go now,
Guess I’ll see you hanging round
Don’t know when though, oh
Never know when I’ll be back in town
But I remember what I told you
That in time your gonna pay

Well ain’t it surprisin’ how time slips away
Yeah, ain’t it surprisin’ how time slips away

And now I know
Spanish harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in new york city

Until you’ve seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the lord there’s people out there like you
I thank the lord there’s people out there like you

While mona lisas and mad hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can’t and that is why
They know not if it’s dark outside or light

This broadway’s got
It’s got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I’ll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in new york city

Subway’s no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the lord for the people I have found
I thank the lord for the people I have found

It was bad, really mean
She had the kind of reputation to make any woman scream
Late one night, when it wasn’t right
And he made a catch, and he meets his match

Black lady, black lady

She was mean, really bad
She was slender as a cat at night, she made the men go mad
Well her eyes were green, and her skin was soft
And the lady’s heart was as hard as rock

Black lady, black lady
You better beware, you better beware, you better beware

He tried to fight it, tried to win
But no matter where the poor man turned, the lady halted him
Her wish was his command, his life in her hands
And the death was slow, ’cause she won’t let go

Oh, black lady, that black lady

She tried to win, tried to buy
She was out over him, ’cause he played all the cards just right
He laid out his hand like a winning man
With a smile so deep, she put him into a sleep
You know she won

Black lady, black lady
You better beware, you better beware

Black lady, you better beware
Black lady, black lady, black lady

All of the nights when the light was low and day seemed so far away
Darkness was endless and I kept seeing ghosts turn in shades of grey
I wanted to see things just the way they used to be
Don’t want those shadows hanging over me

Daylight, I wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around

Hours and hours in towers on the back road of tragedy
Voices are calling and fingers come on crawling all over me
Then when I sit up and my hands begin to shake
Suddenly there I see the dawn break

Only one thing keeping me sane, oh

Here, I said
Don’t even let this go
And it’s, hey to that old man
I’m coming in the graveyard with my little tune
It’s june
I said, she’s gone but I’m alive
I’m alive
I’m coming in the graveyard
To, sing you to sleep now

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Don’t know exactly where I am
And I should heed my doctor’s warning
He does the best with me he can

He claims I suffer from delusions
Yet I’m so confident I’m sane
It can’t be no optical illusion
So how can you explain
Shadows in the rain

And if you see us on the corner
And we’re dancing in the rain
I join my friends there when I see them
Outside my window pane
Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

Woke up in my clothes again this morning
Don’t know exactly where I am
I should heed my doctor’s warning
He does the best with me he can

Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain

(gilbert o’sullivan)

If I give up this seat I’ve been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good girl? 
Am I still your sweet pearl? 
Mother please, if you’re pleased, say I am

And if, while in the course of my duty,
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so? 
Never again would I make that mistake
This feeling inside me
Can never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And the pleasure I get from, say,
Winning a bet
Is to lose

When I’m drinking my bonaparte shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Would I glance in my screen
And see real human beings
Starve to death right in front of my eyes? 

Nothing old, nothing new
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing stillborn or lost
Nothing further than proof
Nothing older than you
Nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing older than time
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind
Nothing I couldn’t say
Nothing why? 
’cause today nothing rhymed, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, this feeling inside me
Can never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
The pleasure I get from, say
Winning a bet
Is to lose

Nothing good, nothing bad
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Nothing stillborn or lost
Nothing further than proof
Nothing wilder than you
Nothing sweeter than wine
Nothing older than time
Nothing physically, hopelessly, recklessly, blind
Nothing I couldn’t say
Nothing why? 
’cause today nothing rhymed, ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Nothing rhymed

I can’t read and I can’t write down
I don’t know a book from countdown
I don’t care which shadow gets me
All I’ve got is someone’s face

Money goes to money heaven
Bodies go to body hell
I just cough, catch the chase
Switch the channel watch the police car

I can’t read shit anymore
I just sit back and ignore
Cause I just can’t get it right, can’t get it right
I can’t read shit I can’t read shit

Oh

When you see a famous smile
No matter where you run your mile
To be right in that photograph
Andy where’s my fifteen minutes

I said
Yeah
I can’t read shit anymore
I just can’t read shit anymore
No matter I just can’t get it right
I can’t reach it
I can’t reach it
No
No
Uh
Uh
Uh

Music & lyrics: john popper

Alan had always planned to be a doctor
Servicing mankind was really where it was
Working in small towns, he’s unhappy
So great a surgeon deserves some applause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause

Sylvia’s ashamed of her family
They love her a lot, but they never get it right
Marrying a millionaire’s mommy
Biding her time, she finally says goodnight
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause

In the name of a cause
Effect has nothing to do with a cause
May we take a pause
For another cause

Bartholomew jones is quite crazy
Ruling men and nations all of them at war
Braving conflict undaunted
Down to the last bit and not one minute before
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause
In the name of a cause

Ideas are what you make them

8 a.m. I’m up and my feet beating on the sidewalk
Down at the unemployment agency, all I get is talk
I check the want ads but there just ain’t nobody hiring
What’s a man supposed to do when he’s down and he’s

Out of work
I need a job, I’m out of work
I’m unemployed, I’m out of work
I need a job, I’m out of work

I go to pick my girl up
Her name is linda brown
Her dad invites me in
He tells me to sit down
The small talk that we’re making
Is going pretty smooth
But then he drops a bomb
Son, what d’ya do ? 

I’m out of work
I need a job, I’m out of work
I’m unemployed, I’m out of work
I need a job, I’m out of work

Hey mr president I know you got your plans
You’re doing all you can now to aid the little man
We got to do our best to whip that inflation down
Maybe you got a job for me just driving you around

I’m out of work
These hard times, they’re enough
To make a man lose his mind
I’m out of work
Up there you got a job but down here below

I’m out of work
I need a job, I’m out of work
I’m unemployed, I’m out of work
I need a job, I’m out of work

I’m out of work
I’m out of work
I’m out of work
I’m out of work

I’m out of work
I’m out of work
I’m out of work

There are thirteen headless turtles
Hanging on a line
Their severed heads would snap a stick
And break your finger pretty quick
The blood is draining from their necks
And out into the grass
The flies are buzzing all around
A hatchet sticking in the ground

The river looks like chocolate milk
It’s foaming at the banks
The snakes come out to sun themselves
You think you’ve died and gone to hell
I found one in the yard
So I gave it to the dog
She barked and got it by the head
And flung it ¡®round till it was dead
And it’s summer here

Out behind the barber shop
The barber’s burning hair
He lights it laughing to himself
He knows you can’t escape the smell
The smoke is rising from the pile
And out into the town
It stings your eyes and burns your nose
And makes it’s way all through your clothes
And it’s summer here

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy.
Hello lamppost,
What cha knowing? 
I’ve come to watch your flowers growing.
Ain’t cha got no rhymes for me? 
Doot-in’ doo-doo,
Feelin’ groovy.

Got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep.
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.
Let the morning time drop all it’s petals on me.
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.

Love child to genghis kahn
And a beautiful busty amazon
On the death star with her godfather
Darth vader and nine months later
But that’s impossible
Yeah she’s super collosul
She’ll make a fascinating fossil

Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel not just a regular girl

She made of metal and a million miles high
Hair do scrapin’ the sky
Made it with the terminator
Schwarzennegger 9 months later

But that’s impossible
Yea she’s supercollosul
She’ll make a fascinating fossil

Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel not just a regular girl

Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel oh yea

Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel oh yea
Supermodel

If I close my eyes
I can almost hear my mother
Callin’, neil, go find your brother
Daddy’s home, and it’s time for supper
Hurry on

And I see two boys
Racin’ up two flights of staircase
Squirmin’ into papa’s embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where’s it gone
Oh, where’s it gone

Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

I can still recall
The smell of cookin’ in the hallways
Rubber drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show

Mama’d come to school
And as I’d sit there softly crying
Teacher’d say, he’s just not trying
He’s got a good head if he’d apply it
But you know yourself
It’s always somewhere else

I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I’d ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads

Thought of going back
But all I’d see are strangers’ faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks thru those places
I’m wonderin’
What’s come of them

Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads

Battle hymns did sound the call.
You came to our side.
You heard true metal - into glory
Ride.

You stood beside us the false ones
Cried. - your love is judgement.
You gave us life.

You wait in the rain - you walk
Through the snow. we give you
Our blood. we want you to know.
In our eyes your’re immortal -
In our hearts you’ll live forever -
In our eyes your’re immortal -
In our hearts you’ll live forever.

We have read your letters -
We have heard your call.
We were brought together -
Cause we’ve got the balls -
To play the loudest metal.
So hard and so wild and mean. -
You’ll live forever we were
Born from your belief.

Metal makes us strong
Together we belong - forever
Here’s your song. we want you
To know.
In our eyes your’re immortal -
In our hearts you’ll live forever -
In our eyes your’re immortal -
In our hearts you’ll live forevermore.

Metal makes us strong
Together we belong - forever
Here’s your song. we want you
To know.
In our eyes your’re immortal -
In our hearts you’ll live forever -
In our eyes your’re immortal -
In our hearts you’ll live forevermore.

Told me that you’re doin’ wrong
Word out shockin’ all alone
Cryin’ wolf ain’t like a man
Throwin’ rocks to hide your hands

You ain’t done enough for me
You ain’t done enough for me
You are disgustin’ me, yeah yeah
You’re aiming just for me
You are disgustin’ me
Just want your cut from me
But too bad, too bad

Look who just walked in the place
Dead and stuffy in the face
Look who’s standing if you please
Though you tried to bring me to my knees

Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it

Hell all up in hollywood
Sayin’ that you got it good
Creepin’ from a dusty hole
Tales of what somebody told

What do you want from me? 
What do you want from me? 
Tired of you haunting me, yeah yeah
You’re aiming just for me
You are disgustin’ me
You got blood lust for me
But too bad, too bad

Look who got slapped in the face
It’s dead and stuffy in the place
I’m right back where I wanna be
I’m standin’ though you’re kickin’ me

Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it

Life’s about a dream
I’m really undefeated when mj is on my team, theme
Reality brings forth realizm
It’s the man of steel organizm, twizm
Not from the prizm, take charge like manilla
Nine five shaq represent with the thrilla
Grab my crotch, twist my knee, then I’m through
Mike’s bad, I’m bad
Who are you

Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it

Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it
Why don’t you just scream and shout it
Too bad too bad about it

Thanks for the times
That you’ve given me
The memories are all in my mind
And now that we’ve come
To the end of our rainbow
There’s something
I must say out loud
You’re once, twice
Three times a lady
Yes you’re once twice
Three times a lady

And I love you
When we are together
The moments I cherish
With every beat of my heart
To touch you to hold you
To feel you to need you
There’s nothing to keep us apart
You’re once twice
Three times a lady
And I love you
I love you
