I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Everything is not misplaced
Every distance is not near
Yet I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say every man must crawl
But I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere high above the wall
I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now take a look around
But if its not the same
They say
And he swears that he was framed
I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released |

Down the street the dogs are barkin
And the day is growin dark
As the night comes in a-falling
The dogs will lose their bark
And the silent
From the sounds inside my mind
Yes Im one too many mornings
And a thousand miles
Behind
From the crossroads of my doorstep
My eyes begin to fade
And I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid
And I gaze back to the street
The sidewalk and the sign
And Im one too many mornings
And a thousand miles
Behind
Its a restless hungry feeling
That dont mean nobody no good
When evеrything that Im saying
You can say it just as good
You are right from your side
And Im right from mine
Wеre both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles
Behind |
Aint no more cane on the Brazos
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They done ground that all up into molasses
Oh, oh oh, oh
Shoulda been on the river in 1904
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You found dead body near every single door
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Shoulda been on the river in 1910
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They were drivin the women just like they drivin the men
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Put down your little head and dont you rise no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Dont you rise no more up until the Judgement Day is for sure
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Aint no more cane on the Brazos
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They done ground that all up into molasses
Oh, oh oh, oh |

Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna let it roll?
Whos gonna throw that minstrel boy a coin?
Whos gonna throw it all and let him go home? |
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime, she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlight streams
I and I
In creation where ones nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One said to the other, No man sees my face and lives
Think Ill go out and go for a walk
Not much happenin here
Nothin ever does
Besidеs, if she wakes up now, shell just want mе to talk
I got nothin to say
Specially about whatever was
I and I
In creation where ones nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One said to the other, No man sees my face and lives
Took an untrodden path once where the swift dont win the race
It goes to the worthy who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me to look into justices beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
I and I
In creation where ones nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One said to the other, No man sees my face and lives
Outside of two men on a train platform, theres nobody in sight
Theyre waiting for spring to come, smokin down the track
The world could come to an end tonight, but thats alright
She should still be there sleepin when I get back
I and I
In creation where ones nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One said to the other, No man sees my face and lives
Noontime and Im still pushin myself along the road, the darkest part
Into the narrow lanes, huh, I cant stumble or stay put
Someone else is speakin with my mouth, but Im listenin only to my heart
Ive made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot
I and I
In creation where ones nature neither honors nor forgives
I and I
One said to the other, No man sees my face and lives |

maybe she come, maybe she dont
Oh were kissing
She knows what shes missing
And she always take me far away
You know that I let her
But she dont from me |
Wallflower, wallflower
Wont you dance with me?
Im sad and lonely too
Wallflower, wallflower
Wont you dance with me?
Im falling in love with you
Just like you, Im wondering what Im doing here
Just like you, Im wondering whats going on
Wallflower, wallflower
Wont you dance with me?
The night will soon be gone
I have seen you standing in the smokey haze
And I know that youre gonna be my–
One of these days, mine alone
Wallflower, wallflower
Take a chance on me
Please let me ride you home
Wallflower, wallflower
Wont you dance with me?
Im sad and lonely too
Wallflower, wallflower
Take a chance on me
Im falling in love with you
Im falling in love with you |
Buckets of rain, buckets of tears
Got all them buckets coming out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love, honey baby, I can stand
Ive been meek and hard like an oak
Ive seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive and friends will disappear
But if you want me, honey baby, Ill be here
I like the smile in your fingertips
I like the way you move your hips
I like the cool way you look at me
And everything about you is bringing me misery
Little red wagon, little red bike
I aint no monkey but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
Im taking you with me, honey baby, when I go
Life is sad, life is a bust
All you can do is do what you must
You do what you must do, and you do it well
Ill do it for you, honey baby, cant you tell?
Ill do it for you, honey baby, cant you tell? |
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that youre seein double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where Ive got me a date with a booty little girl from Greece
She promised that shed be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece
Oh, the hours weve spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin time
Oh, those mighty kings of thе jungle, I could hardly stand to see em
Yes, it surе has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels runnin through the back of our memory
When I ran on a hilltop following the back of our gees
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
Sail around the world in a dirty car dollar
All to be back in the land of Coca Cola
I left Rome and landed in Brussels
With a picture of a tall oak tree by my side
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin muscles
Everyone was there agreed me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diffrent
When I paint that masterpiece
When I paint that masterpiece
When I paint that masterpiece |
Lei sa bene quel che vuole
È un’artista e non bada in giro
Lei sa bene quel che vuole
È un’artista e non bada in giro
Lei si ruba il buio della notte
E tinge il giorno in nero
Tu prova a star su in piedi
Forte e fiero, rubale ogni sensazione
Tu prova a star su in piedi
Forte e fiero, rubale ogni sensazione
Ma finirai a spiare dalla chiave
Chino a pecorone
Lei mica inciampa
Chi non sta su non cade
Lei mica inciampa
Chi non sta su non cade
È apolide, è еnne enne
La lеgge lei manco la vede
Porta un anello assiro
Se splende ti parlerà
Porta un anello assiro
Se splende ti parlerà
È un’ipnocollezionista
E tu sei una bioantichità
La domenica un inchino
Il compleanno un’ovazione
La domenica un inchino
Il compleanno un’ovazione
A carnevale una trombetta
E a Natale un bel torrone |
I cant understand
She let go of my hand
And left me here facin a wall
Id sure like to know
Why she would go
But I cant get close to her at all
Though we kissed through a wild blazin nighttime
She said she would never forget
But now mornin is clear
Its like I aint here
She acts like we never met
If she aint feelin well
Then why dont she tell
Instead of turnin her back to my face?
Without any doubt
She seems too far out
For me to return to or chase
Her skirt it swayed
As the guitar played
Her mouth was watery and wet
But now something has changed
For she aint the same
She just acts like we never have met
If I didnt have to guess
Id gladly confess
To anything I might have tried
If I was with her too long
Or have done something wrong
Id wish she’d tell me what it is, Ill run and hide
Oh, the night ran swirlin and whirlin
I remember her whisperin yet
But evidently she dont
Evidently she wont
She just acts like we never have met
Im leavin today
Ill be on my way
Of this I cant say very much
But if you want me to
I can be just like you
And pretend that we never have touched
And if anybody should ask me
Is it easy to forget?
I’ll say, It’s easily done
You just pick anyone
And pretend that you never have met! |
Oh Im sailin away my own true love
Im sailin away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that Ill be landing
No, theres nothin you can send me, my own true love
Theres nothin I wish to be ownin
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
Id forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For thats all Im wishin to be ownin
That I might be gone a long long time
And its only that Im askin
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin
Oh, how, oh how can you ask me again
It only brings me sorrow
The same thing I want from you today
I would want again tomorrow
I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin
Saying I dont know when Ill be comin back again
It depends on how Im a-feelin
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
Im sure your mind is roamin
Im sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where youre goin
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, theres something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather |
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side thats winning
You say I let you down
You know its not like that
If youre so hurt
Why then dont you show it
You say you lost your faith
But thats not where its at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
Youre in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think Id make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he dont know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, How are you? Good luck
But you dont mean it
Whеn you know as well as me
Youd rather see mе paralyzed
Why dont you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps Id rob them
And now I know youre dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Dont you understand
Its not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
Youd know what a drag it is
To see you |
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind |
Farewell, Angelina
The bells of the crown are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles and the music plays slow
Farewell, Angelina, the night is on fire and I must go
Theres no use in talking, theres no need for blame
There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same
The table stands empty at the edge of the stream
But farewell, Angelina
The skys changing colors and I must leave
The jacks and the queens, they forsake the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard
In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is folding, Ill see you after a while
See the cross-eyed pirate sits perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun
The corporals and neighbors clap and cheer with each blast
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is trembling and I must leave fast
King Kong, little elves in the rooftops, they dance
Valentino-type tangos with a heros clean hands
Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is flooding over and I must be gone
The camouflaged parrot, he flutters from fear
When something he doesnt know about suddenly appears
What cannot be imitated perfect must die
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is flooding over and I must go where it is dry
Machine guns are roaring and puppets heave rocks
At misunderstood visions and at the faces of clocks
Call me any name you like, I will never deny it
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is erupting and I must go where its quiet |
Just like old Saxophone Joe
When hes got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Listen to the fiddler play
When hes playin til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner, honey, Ill be there
Saddle me up my big white goose
Tie me on er and turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
I dont need much and that aint no lie
Aint runnin any race
Give to me my country pie
I wont throw it up in anybodys face
Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horners got nothin on me
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie |

You angel you
You got me under your wing
And the way you walk and the way you talk
Feel I could almost sing
You angel you
Youre as fine as anythings fine
Though I just walk and I watch you talk
Your memorys on my mind
Even though I cant sleep at night for trying
Well I never did feel this way before
I never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more and more and more and more and more
You angel you
Youre as fine as fine can be
And the way you walk and the way you talk
Is the way it ought to be
You angel you
Well I never did feel this way before
I never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more and more and more and more and more
You angel you
You got me under your wing
And the way you walk and the way you talk
Feel I could almost sing
You angel you
Youre as fine as anythings fine
Though I just walk and I watch you talk
Your memorys on my mind
Even though I cant sleep at night for trying
Well I never did feel this way before
I never did get up and walk the floor
If this is love then give me more and more |
I once held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away
Once I held mountains in the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through every day
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away
Oh, until I threw it all away
Love is all there is, it makes the world go round
Love and only love cant be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just wont be able to do without it
Take a tip from one whos tried
So if you find someone that gives you all of her love
Take it to your heart, dont let it stray
One things for certain
You will surely be a-hurtin
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away |
- how you treat your men
Theyre like a star on a summer morning
Theyll first appear and then they are gone
I wish I had a of courting
Id my heart
But Im not a little sparrow |
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
Oh
I’ve known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue
I’d go crawling down the avenue
There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Oh!
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You aint seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
No, nothing that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love |
We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now youd throw us all aside
And put us on our way
Oh what daughter beneath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always answer, “No?”
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
Were so low
And lifes so brief
We pointed out the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
And now, I want you to know that while we watched
You discover there was no one true
That I myself remember now
Thought it was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief
It was all very painless
When you went out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief |
Well, theyll stone you when youre tryin to be good
Stone you just like they said they would
Stone you when youre trying to go home
Stone you when youre there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Everybody
Well, theyll stone you when youre walking on the street
Stone you when youre trying to keep to me
Stone you when youre there all alone
Stone you when youre trying to get stoned
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Everybody must get stoned, yeah
Theyll stone you at the breakfast table
Stone you when you are young and able
Stone you when youre trying to go to school
Stone you when youre playing pocket pool
Yeah, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned, yeah
Everybody must get stone
Theyll stone you and say that thats the end
Stone you and come back again
Stone you and they say that youre brave
Stone you when youre sittin in your grave
Yeah, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned, yeah
Everybody must get stoned
Talkin about you
Its all about me too |
Too much of nothing
Can make a man feel ill at ease
One mans temper might rise
Where the other man’s temper might freeze
In a day of confessions
We cannot mock a soul
Oh, when theres too much of nothing
No one has control
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Send her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
Too much of nothing
Can make a man abuse a king
He can walk the streets and boast like most
But he wont know a thing
But it’s all been done before
Its all been written in the book
But when theres too much of nothing
Nobody should look
Say hеllo to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Sеnd her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
Too much of nothing
Can turn a man into a liar
It can cause some men to sleep on nails
And cause other me to eat fire
Evrybodys doin something
Ive heard it in a dream
But when theres too much of nothing
It just makes a fella mean
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion |
She’s got everything she needs, she’s an artist, she don’t look back
She’s got everything she needs, she’s an artist, she don’t look back
She can take the dark out of the night time and make the day time black
She never stumbles, she’s got no place to fall
She never stumbles, she’s got no place to fall
She’s nobody’s child; the law can’t touch her at all
She wears an Egyptian ring that sparkles before she speaks
Shе got an Egyptian ring that sparkles before shе speaks
She’s a hypnotist collector; you are a walking antique
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween, buy her a trumpet
And for Christmas, give her a drum
You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing, proud to steal her anything she sees
You will wind up peekin’ through a keyhole down upon your knees
She’s got everything she needs, she’s an artist, she don’t look back
She’s got everything she needs, she’s an artist, she don’t look back
She can take the dark out of the night time and make the day time black
She can take the dark out of the night time and make the day time black
She can take the dark out of the night time and make the day time black |
I drive a mail train, mama, cant buy a thrill
I been up all night, mama, sleeping on a window sill
Well, if I die on top of the hill
And if I don’t make it, you know my baby will
Dont the moon look good, mama, shining through the trees?
Dont the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the Double E?
Don’t the sun look fine setting down over the sea?
Dont my gal look fine when shes coming after me?
Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody, but I could not get across
I wanna be your lover, baby, I dont wanna be your boss
Dont say I didnt warn you when your train gets lost
Dont say I didnt warn you when your train gets lost
Don’t say I didn’t warn you when your train gets lost |
Well you heard about Pharaohs army
Tramplin through the mud
You heard about the Hebrew children
Redeemed by blood
Same spirit dwellin in you
That raised Christ from the dead
If youre quick in your mortal body
Then let it run to your head
And cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through
Got to have protection
By the full armour of the Lord
Well, the word of God is sharper
Than any double sided sword
Hes the hammer of salvation
The breastplate of righteousness
Genesis to revelation
Repent and confess
Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through
Well, you wake up early in the morning
Turning from side to side
Something giving you a warning
You cant run and you cant hide
Demands are laid upon you
And burdens you cant bear
Sins you cant even remember
Are always waiting to say hello to you there
Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through
You got an image of yourself, I know
But youve built it alone
But it will come a-tumbling, a-tumbling down
Just like walls made of stone
You will be separated
From everything you seem to be
You think youll be liberated
But the grave wont set you free
You got to cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through
Cover down, cover down, pray through |
There must be some kind of way out of here
Cried the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion here
And I cant get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Plow men dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth
No reason to get excited
The thief kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I weve been through that
This is not our fate
Let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
Barefoot servants came and went
Little children too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin
And the wind began to howl |
Come around you roving’ gamblers and a story I will tell
About the greatest gambler, you all should know him well
His name was Will O’Conley and he gambled all his life
He had twenty-seven children, yet he never had a wife
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
He gambled in the White House and in the railroad yards
Wherever therе was people, therе was Willie and his cards
He had the reputation as the gamblingest man around
Wives would keep their husbands home when Willie came to town
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
Sailing’ down the Mississippi to a town called New Orleans
They’re still talking’ about their card game on that Jackson River Queen
“I’ve come to win some money,” Gambling Willie says
When the game finally ended up, the whole damn boat was his
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called Cripple Creek
There was an all-night poker game, lasted about a week
Nine hundred miners had laid their money down
When Willie finally left the room, he owned the whole damn town
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
But Willie had a heart of gold and this I know is true
He supported all his children and all their mothers too
He wore no rings or fancy things, like other gamblers wore
He spread his money far and wide, to help the sick and the poor
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
When you played your cards with Willie, you never really knew
Whether he was bluffing or whether he was true
He won a fortune from a man who folded in his chair
The man, he left a diamond flush, Willie didn’t even have a pair
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
It was late one evening’ during a poker game
A man lost all his money, he said Willie was to blame
He shot poor Willie through the head, which was a tragic fate
When Willie’s cards fell on the floor, they were aces backed with eights
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows
So all you roving’ gamblers, wherever you might be
The moral of the story is very plain to see
Make your money while you can, before you have to stop
For when you pull that dead man’s hand, your gambling days are up
And it’s ride, Willie, ride
Roll, Willie, roll
Wherever you are a-gambling now, nobody really knows |
I pulled out for San Anton
I never felt so good
My woman said shed meet me there
And of course, I knew she would
The coachman, he hit me for my hook
And he asked me my name
I give it to him right away
Then I hung my head in shame
Lo and behold! Lo and behold!
Looking for my lo and behold
Get me outta here, my dear man!
I come into Pittsburgh
At six-thirty flat
I found myself a vacant seat
An I put down my hat
What’s the matter, Molly, dear
What’s the matter with your mound?
What’s it to ya, Moby Dick?
This is chicken town!
Lo and behold! Lo and behold!
Looking for my lo and behold
Get me outta here, my dear man!
I bought myself
A herd of moose
One day she could call her own
She came out the very next day
To see where they had flown
Im going down to Tennessee
Get me a truck or something
Gonna save my money and rip it up
Lo and behold! Lo and behold!
Looking for my lo and behold
Get me outta here, my dear man!
Now, I come in on a Ferris wheel
And boys, I sure was slick
I come in like a ton of bricks
Laid a few tricks on them
Going back to Pittsburgh
Count up to thirty
Round that horn and ride that herd
Gonna thread up
Lo and behold! Lo and behold!
Lookingg for my lo and behold
Get me outta here, my dear man! |
Sun on the edge
Make my home in
When my booze jazz above
It aint got it all
Lonely road is, love oh love is only mine
Lonely maybe waiting
Way on my shoulder
still it is mine
All an all love is only mine
Well, its a long, long way to the ocean
When your love, it dont treat you right
But my devotion is a lonely, lonely place
lonely isnt right
And its on my window tonight
Lonely dreams come get your, by back my window tonight |
Iron hand, it aint no match for the iron rod
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God
For all those who have eyes
For all those who have ears
Its only He who can reduce me to tears
Don’t you cry and don’t you die
Don’t you burn
For like a thief in the night
He’ll replace wrong with right
When He returns
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow
That it passes through
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour
That no one knew
How long can I listen
To the lies of prejudice?
How long can I stay drunk
On fear out in the wilderness?
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and pride?
Will I ever learn
That there’ll be no peace
That the war won’t cease
Until He returns?
Surrender your crown on this bloodstained ground
Take off your mask
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs
Even before you ask
How long can you falsify
And deny what is real?
How long can you hate yourself
For the weakness you conceal?
Of every earthly plan
That be known to man
Hes unconcerned
He’s got plans of His own
To set up His throne
When He returns
When He returns |
Well I took a first built on a travelling charge
Calling to darling and southern barge
Well its hard to make my getaway with pouring rain
Left myself inside the northern claim
Northern claim, such sound of rain
Northern claim
Now all my life depends on a man of my dependence on a
Northern claim
Well I was found myself an ocean with a ten dollars fly
And the tombstone ladies looking passed on by
Well its bodies a-coming and my drive mobile
And I spend bullets flying, I rob, murder or steal
And it was northern claim, beg borrow sound of rain
Northern claim, suicidal rain
Well it dont matter what you
Dont matter, just a southern claim |
Well I go get broke down-
Well I go get broke down, before I bust down
Gotta get in without a broken heart, well
Get a before a low down
Before my guilt is
Well every single morning
I cant take it no more
Well if you with a heartache
Go down baby
She dont care about that us apart
Well she gonna have em, but she wont invite me
But I cant come in with a broken heart
And I hold down, cant come down
comin in without a broken heart
Wеll you cheated, showed hеr down
But I dont come around
Oh when shell take ya tear us apart |
Early one morning, the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Wondering if shed changed it all
If her hair was still red
Her folks, they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mamas homemade dress
Papas bankbook wasnt big enough
I was standing on the side of the road
Rain falling on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
God knows, Ive paid some dues getting through
Tangled up in blue...
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorcеd
I helped her out of a jam, I guеss
But I used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Separated on a dark, sad night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around and called to me
As I was walking away
I heard her say over my shoulder
Well meet again someday on the avenue
Tangled up in blue...
I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where Is lucky for to be employed
Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind and I just grew
Tangled up in blue...
She was working in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at the sight of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on when the crowd thinned out
Is just about to do the same
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said, Tell me, dont I know your name?
I muttered something underneath my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue...
She lit a burner on the stove
And offered me a pipe
I thought youd never say hello, she said
You look like the silent type
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue...
I lived with them on Montagüe Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafés at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue...
So now Im going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the people we used to know
Theyre an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters wives
Dont know how it all got started
I dont what they do with their lives
But me, Im still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue... |

You must leave now, take what you need
What you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep
You better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin through
And its all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you and its all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead youve left, they will not follow you
And its all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
All your reindeer armies, are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
The vagabond whos rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And its all over now, Baby Blue |
Once I held her in my arms
She said she would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated her like a fool
I threw it all away
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand
Rivers that ran through every day
But I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Til I threw it all away
Love is all there is and it makes the world go round
Love and only love, it cant be denied
No matter what you think about it
You just wont be able to do without it
Take a tip from one whos tried
So if you find someone who gives you all of her love
Takе it to your heart, dont let it stray
One thing is for cеrtain, you will surely be hurtin
If you throw it all away
I threw it all away |
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
Well, you can almost think that youre seein double
On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
Where Ive got me a date with Botticellis niece
She promised shed be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece
Oh, the hours Ive spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle
I can hardly stand to see em
Well, it sure has been a long hard ride
Train wheels runnin through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
Sailin round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola
I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diffrent
When I paint my masterpiece
Someday, everything is gonna be diffrent
When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece |
You better go now
Take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are coming through
Because its all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky, too, is folding under you
Because its all over now, Baby Blue
Its all over now, Baby Bluе
The vagabond whos rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you oncе wore
Strike another match, go start anew
Because its all over now, Baby Blue
Its all over now, Baby Blue
Its all over now
Its all over now
Its all over now, Baby Blue |
Gypsy girl, the hands of Harlem
Can not hold you to its heat
Your temperature is too hot for tamin
Your flamin feet, their burning up the street
And I am homeless
Come and take me
To the reach of your rattlin drums
And let me know babe
All about my fortune
All along my restless palms
Gypsy girl, you got me swallowed
And I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes, theyre so fast and slashing
And your flashing diamond teeth
The night is pitch black
Come and make my
Pale face fit into place, oh, please
And let me know babe
Am I nearly drowning
If its here that my lifelines trace
You have slayed me
You have made me
Ive got to laugh halfway off my heels
Ive got to know babe
Come here and touch me
So I can tell if I am really real |
Crash on the levee, mama
Waters going to overflow
Swamps going to rise
No boats going to row
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point
You can bust your feet
You can rock this joint
But oh mama, aint you going to miss your best friend now?
Youre going to have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow
Now, dont you try an move me
Mama just going to lose
Theres a crash on the levee
Mama, youve been refused
Well, its sugar for sugar
Salt for salt
If you go down in the flood
Its your own true fault
Oh mama, aint you going to miss your best friend now?
Youre going to have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow
Well, that high tides rising
Mama, dont you let me down
Pack up your suitcase
Mama, dont you make a sound
Now, its king for king
Queen for queen
Its going to be the meanest flood
That anybodys seen
Oh mama, aint you going to miss your best friend now?
Yes, youre going to have to find yourself
Another good friend, somehow |

We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you throw us all aside
And put us on our way
Oh what dear daughter would neath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
Yet always answer, “No?”
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
Were so alone
And life is brief
It was all pointed out, the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought that it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
Now, I want you to know that while you watched
Discover that there was no onе true
That I myself really thought
It was just a childish thing to do
Tеars of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief
It was all very very painless
When you ran out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief |
Come, you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like its your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
This young peoples blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
Youve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
And let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul |
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
Im not the one you want, babe
Im not the one you need
You say youre lookin for someone
Never weak but always strong
To protect you an defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it sure aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for
Move lightly from the ledge, babe
Move lightly on cross the ground
Im not the one you want, babе
Ill only let you down
You said youre lookin for someonе
Wholl promise never to part
Someone to close his eyes for you
Someone to close his heart
Someone who will die for you an more
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
Go, melt back into the night, babe
Everything inside here is made of stone
Theres nothing in here thats a moving
An anyway Im not alone
You say youre looking for someone
To pick you up at a time you fall
To gather flowers for you constantly
An come at a time you call
A lover for your life, and nothin more
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for
It aint me youre lookin for |
...now
Word to your grandma, come on home
Well, it all started on a winning afternoon
Drama aint cold and brown
Late last night on the top
She was heading to calling me round
Gonna get you now
Gonna get you now
Word to your grandma, come on home
Well, I was daydreaming on Sunday
Monday came both ways
Big storm, man, it dont bother me
But I cant seem to get it straight
Gonna get you now
Gonna get you now
Go on to your grandma, youd best come home |
Hollis Brown, he lived
On the outside of town
Hollis Brown, he lived
On the outside of town
With his wife, his five children
And his cabin broken down
He looked for work and money
And he walked a ragged mile
He looked for work and money
And he walked a ragged mile
But your children are so hungry
That they don’t know how to smile
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
Is there anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares
You pray to the Lord above
Oh, please send you a friend
You pray to the Lord above
Oh, please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell ya that
You ain’t got no friends
Your babies eyes look crazy
Theyre a-tuggin at your sleeve
Your babies eyes look crazy
Theyre a-tuggin at your sleeve
You walk the floor, you wonder why
With every breath you breathe
Your grass is turnin black
There’s no water in your well
Your grass is turnin black
There’s no water in your well
You spent your lone last dollar
On seven shotgun shells
And away out in the wilderness
A lone coyote calls
Away out in the wilderness
A lone coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That’s a-hangin on the wall
And your brain is a-bleedin
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin
And your legs can’t seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you’re holdin in your hand
There’s seven breezes blowin
All around the cabin door
There’s seven breezes blowin
All around the cabin door
Seven shots rang out
Like the ocean’s poundin roar
There’s seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
There’s seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewheres in the distance
There’s seven new people born |
The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
Cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you
I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep, they wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Drinking from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you
I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
How my fathers, they’ve gone down
True love they’vе been without it
But all their daughters put me down
Causе I don’t think about it
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I’m not afraid to look at her
She is good to me
And there’s nothing she doesn’t see
She knows where I’d like to be
But it doesn’t matter
I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn’t very cute to him, now was I?
But I did it, because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
Because time was on his side
And because I
I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you, I want you
I want you... |
Ehi voi, mastri guerrai, voi coi vostri cannoni
Con le vostre testate e coi vostri aeroplani
Non c’è muro che basti e non c’è scrivania
Io vi leggo nella testa, come fosse la mia
Cos’avete inventato che non serva a disfare?
Il mio mondo per voi è un giochetto banale
Mi passate un fucile e poi correte al riparo
E non cè traccia di voi, già dopo il primo sparo
Una guerra mondiale è una guerra vincibile
E noi dovremmo anche credere che questo sia possibile
Voi mentite comе Giuda, ma io vi vedo lo stesso
Come vеdo attraverso l’acqua dello scarico del mio cesso
Voi mettete il colpo in canna, agli altri tocca sparare
Mentre voi osservate il conto dei morti aumentare
Dalle vostre tenute, insieme ad altre cose belle
Come il sangue dei ventenni, risucchiato dalle zolle
Siete voi, voi la causa del terrore più tremendo
Io ho il terrore di mettere dei figli al mondo
Per bloccare mio figlio nel mondo dei non nati
Schifo voi ed il sangue che vha generati
Io che cosa ne so, per entrare nel merito
Voi direte che son fuori e che parlo a sproposito
Forse è vero, di quel che fate noi non sappiamo abbastanza
Ma farebbe orrore a Cristo, questo basta e ci avanza
Posso chiedervi una cosa? ‘Sto denaro è così buono
Ma davvero è così forte da comprarvi il perdono?
E sarà... ma se in cielo ci si va con un pedaggio
Non c’è oro in tutto il mondo che vi compri il passaggio
Io mi auguro che moriate e che moriate fra poco
Seguirò il vostro feretro in un pomeriggio opaco
Veglierò sui becchini, ché vi interrino correttamente
E non me ne andrò senza esser certo che siate crepati veramente |
They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somе place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From thе west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears hes not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released |
Now, theres a certain thing
That I learned from Jim
That hed always make sure Id understand
And that is that theres a certain way
We all must swim
If we expect to live off of the fat of the land
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Heard his name before
But I aint gonna hear it said no more
Now, theres a certain thing
That I learned from my friend, Mouse
That fella who never blushes
And that is that one must always
Flush out his house
If he dont expect to be housing flushes
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
But I aint gonna hear it said no more
Take care of all of your memories, said Nick
For you cannot relive them
And remember when youre out there
Trying to heal the sick
That you must always first forgive them
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
And I aint gonna hear it said no more |
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
And now youd throw us all aside and put us on our way
Oh what dear daughter neath the sun could treat her father so
To wait upon him hand and foot, yet always answer no?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know were so alone
And life is brief
We pointed out the way to go, and scratched your name in sand
But you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
While we watched and waited for you to find therе was no one true
I myself was among thе ones who thought
It was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know were so alone
And life is brief
It was all so very painless when you went out to receive
All that false instruction that we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse
But oh what kind of love is this, that goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know were so alone
And life is brief
Come to me now
You know were so alone
And life is brief |
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You can almost think that youre seein double
On a cold dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room
Where Ive got me a date with Botticellis niece
She promised that shed be there with me
When I paint my masterpiece
Oh, the hours Ive spent inside the Colosseum
Dodging lions and wastin time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle
I could hardly stand to see em
Well, it sure has been a long hard climb
Train wheels rollin through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
I left Rome, landed in Brussels
On a flight so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform, young girls pullin muscles
They cheered, happy when I got right
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
Someday, everything gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece |
They say everything can be replaced
And yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man that put me here
And I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
But I swear I see my reflection
Somewhеre so high above this wall
And I see my light come shinin
From thе west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Well standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who says hes not to blame
All day long I hear hm crying so loud
Shouting out how he was framed
But I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now , any day now
I shall be released
I see my light come shinin
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released |
Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you
Not out of spite or anger
But simply because its true
Now, I hope you wont object to this
Giving back all of what you owe

With what your fate is going to be
Yes, for telling all those lies

And its up to you to say
Just what you had in mind
When you made evrybody pay
No, nothing was delivered
Yes, n someone must explain
That as long as it takes to do this
Then thats how long that youll remain
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of yourself, get plenty rest |

Theres a big hollow tree
Down the road here from me
Where you lay down a dollar or two
Then you go around the bend
When you come back again
Theres a jugful of mountain dew
Oh, they call it that old mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
Oh, Ill shut up my mug
If youll fill up my jug
With that good old mountain dew
Well, theres my old Aunt June
Bought some brand new perfume
It had such a sweet smellin phew
But to her surprise, when she had it analyzed
It was nothing but good old mountain dew
And theres Uncle Mort
Hes sawed off and short
Hes just five feet and one inch or two
But he thinks hes a giant
When he gets him a pint
Of that good old mountain dew
Now, theres Uncle Bill
Got a still on the hill
Where he runs off a gallon or two
And the buzzards in the sky
Get so dizzy they cant fly
Just from smelling that mountain dew |
We have got to come together
How long can we stay apart?
You may get it maybe never
But its coming from the heart
Your lifes full of indecision
You cant make up your mind
We must get it in position
And move it on down the line
And the road is long, its a long hard climb
Ive been on that road since a long, long time
I said the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of love that I left behind
Make me up a bed of roses
Hanging down from the vine
Of all my loves you are the closest
Thats ever been on my mind
And the road is long, its a long hard climb
Ive been on that road since a long, long time
I said the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of love that I left behind
And the road is long, its a long hard climb
Ive been on that road since a long, long time
Yes, the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of love that I left behind
And the road is long, its a long hard climb
Ive been on that road since a long, long time
I said the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of love that I left behind |
There’s no lights tonight
And there’s no moon
There’s just a hot blooded singer
Singing Memphis in June
They beat the hell from a guy
In a powder blue wig
What seems so dangerous from a distance
Up close never seems so big
I could not take that blood in
I could not call it wine
I could not take your love
And could not call it mine
Tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
You got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it to me now
Deliver that tight connеction
You want to talk to me?
Then go ahead and talk
Whatеver you’ll say
Won’t come as any shock at all
Sweet Madame Butterfly
Lulled me to sleep
In this town without pity
I’m going to get my coat
And feel the storm
Darling stand beside me
Keep me warm
Tight connection
I keep a tight connection to my heart
You’ve got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
I could not take that blood
I could not call it wine
I could not take your love
And I could not call it mine
I’ve got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
You got a tight connection
You’ve got a tight connection to my heart
Tight connection
Give me a tight connection
Deliver that tight connection to my heart
Tight connection
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it now
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it now
Deliver that tight connection
Tell me
Deliver that tight connection
Deliver it now |
Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block
Id ask him what the matter was
But I know that he dont talk
And the ladies treat me kindly
And they furnish me with tape
But deep inside my heart
I know I cant escape
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Well, Shakespeare, hes in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells
Speaking to some French girl
Who says she knows me wеll
And I would send a message
To find out if shеs talked
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
And I said, Oh, I didnt know that
But then again, theres only one Ive met
And he just smoked my eyelids
And punched my cigarette
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Grandpa died last week
And now hes buried in the rocks
Now everybody still laughs about
How badly they were shocked
But me, I expected it to happen
I knew hed lost control
When hed build a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the senator came down here
Showing everyone his gun
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son
And me, I nearly got busted
And wouldnt it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck?
Oh, Mama
Is this really the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the tea preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest
But he cursed me when I proved to him
Then I whispered, said, Not even you can hide
You see, youre just like me
I hope youre satisfied
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the rainman gave me two cures
Then he said, Jump right in
The first was Texas medicine
The second was just railroad gin
And like a fool I mixed them
And it strangled up my mind
Now people just get uglier
And I have no sense of time
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now when Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon
Where I can watch her waltz for free
Neath her Panamanian moon
And I say, Aw, come on now
You know you know about my debutante
And she says, Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you want
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb
They all fall there so perfectly
It all seems so well timed
And here I sit so patiently
Trying to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice
Oh, Mama
Can this be the end?
To be stuck here inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
Oh, Mama
Can this really be the end?
To be stuck here inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again |
There was a wicked messenger
From Eli he did come
With a mind that multiplied
The smallest matter
When questioned who had sent for him
He answered with his thumb
For his tongue it could not speak, but only flatter
He stayed behind the assembly hall
It was there he made his bed
Offen times he could be seen returning
Until one day he just appeared
With a note in his hand which rеad
The soles of my my feet, I swear thеy re burning
Oh, the leaves began to fallin
And the seas began to part
And the people that confronted him were many
And he was told but these few words
Which opened up his heart
If ye cannot bring good news, the dont bring any |
I bless the day I found you
I want my arms around you
And so I beg you: let it be me
Dont take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me that you love me only
And say youll always let it be me |
Oh my name it aint nothin
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I’s taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that the land that I live in
Has God on its side
Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Ah, the country was young
With God on its side
The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I’s made to mеmorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their sidе
The First World War boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fightin
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don’t count the dead
When God’s on your side
The Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side
I’ve learned to hate the Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
It’s them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side
But now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them we’re forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And ya never ask questions
When God’s on your side
Through many dark hour
I been thinking about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can’t think for you
You’ll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side
So now as I’m leavin
I’m weary as Hell
The confusion I’m feelin
Aint no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And they fall to the floor
That if God’s on our side
He’ll stop the next war |
Se sooße sproochlos römm em Park
t wood langsam düster, langsam Naach
Se säht jet, wodrop hä bloß laach
Ihm feel nix Bessres enn
Nix met nem deefre Senn
Er wöhr jähn fottjerannt
Komisch, wie et manchmohl kumme kann
Se jinge ahm Kanal entlang
Verwirrt, ich denk noch immer draan
E Dubbelzemmer enn ner Affsteich dann
Enn Neon stundt do: Zimmer frei
Die Naach woor schwöhl un stickisch heiß
Er föhlt sich wie op nem Vulkan
Seltsam, wie et manchmohl kumme kann
Irjendwo spielt einer Saxophon
Er sieht sie durch die Arkade jonn
Wie t eezte Leech durch die Jardinge kohm
Un er endlich och wach woot
Sie wirf ne Jrosche enn dä Hoot
Vun nem blinde, ahle Mann
Schon erstaunlich, wie et manchmohl kumme kann
Er registriert: Dat Zemmer s leer
Sie s niemieh do, et fällt ihm schwer
Zo dunn als ob et ejal wöhr
Un riehß et Finster op
Er spürt die Leer enn singem Kopp
Für ne Moment un säät sich dann:
Wahnsinn, wat einem all passiere kann.
Er hührt et Ticke vun dä Armbanduhr
ne Papajei schwaad in einer Tour
Em Hafen endlich, fingk en Spur
He heuere Matrose ahn
Verfluchen all dä Ozean
Doch hahlen et nit uss ahn Land
Sujet deit et Schicksal einem ahn
Die miehste denke, t wöhr verkeht
Wemmer auschließlich noh Jeföhle jeht
Die einzije, die mich versteht
Woor sie, doch wo ss dä Ring?
Ich söök verzweifelt, doch ich fingk
En nimieh, wohl zo spät
Blöd nur, dat dat dermaßen wieh deit |
You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve
To say you gota helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side thats winning
You say I let you down
You know its not like that
If youre so hurt
Why then dont you show it
You say you lost your faith
But thats not where its at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
Youre in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think Id make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he dont know to begin with
You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, How are you? Good luck
But you dont mean it
When you know as well as me
Youd rather see me paralyzed
Why dont you just come out once
And scream it
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps Id rob them
And now I know youre dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Dont you understand
Its not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
Youd know what a drag it is
To see you |
I pity the poor immigrant
Who wishes he would’ve stayed home
Who uses all his power to do evil
But in the end is always left so alone
That man whom with his fingers cheats
And who lies with every breath
Who passionately hates his life
And likewise, fears his death
When I think about it...
I pity the poor immigrant
Whose strength is spent in vain
Whose heaven is like Ironsides
Whose tears are like rain
Who eats but is not satisfied
Who hеars but does not see
Who falls in love with wealth itsеlf
And turns his back on me
I pity the poor immigrant
Who tramples through the rain and mud
Who fills his mouth with laughing
And who builds his town with blood
Whose visions in the final end
Must shatter like the glass
Oh, I pity the poor immigrant
When his gladness comes to pass |
You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, Who is that man?
You try so very hard
You dont understand
Just what youll say
When you get home
When you something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you say, Is this where it is?
And somebody points to you and says
Its his
And you say, Whats mine?
And somebody else says, Where what is?
And you say, Oh my God
Am I here all alone?
You know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You pay for your ticket
And you go and see the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
Asks you how it feels
To be such a freak
And you say, Impossible
As he hands you a bone
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
Who keep you supplied with facts
When someone attacks your imagination
Anyway they already expect
You to give a check
To a tax-deductible charity organization
Youve been with the professors
And theyve all liked your looks
With great lawyers youve discussed
Lepers and crooks
Youve been through all of F. Scott Fitzgeralds books
Youre very well read
Its well known
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Sword swallower comes up to you and
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
Without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, Heres your throat back
Thanks for the loan
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You see this one-eyed midget
And hes shouting the word NOW
You say, Whats the matter?
And he says, How?
And you say, What does this mean?
And he screams back, Youre a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
Who keep you supplied with facts
When somebody attacks your imagination
Anyway they already expect
You to give a check
To a tax-deductible charity organization
You walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
With your eyes in your pockets
And your nose on the ground
There oughta be a law
Against you comin around
You should be made
To wear earphones
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones? |

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before theyre forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before theyre allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesnt see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin in the wind |

Dodging lions and wastin time
Oh, thosе mighty kings of the jungle
I can hardly stand to see em
Wеll, it sure has been a long hard ride
Train wheels runnin through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
Sailin round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola
I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
Someday, everything is gonna be diffrent
When I paint my masterpiece
Someday, everything is gonna be diffrent
When I paint my masterpiece
When I paint my masterpiece |
May Gods bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
May you stay forever young
Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
May you stay forever young |
Zwei Zylinder voll Adrenalin
Gewitter, die durch die Straßen ziehn
Ich fahre los, schau nicht zurück
Dunkles Leder umarmt mich, wie das pure Glück
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Die Zeit zerreißt und die Weite bricht
Die Ferne naht und ich bremse nicht
Der Teufel nimmt meine Fährte auf
Doch mein Höllensturm pustet sеine Kerze aus
Im frеien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Am Horizont da brennt ein Licht
Die Welt da draußen wartet nur auf mich
Hundert Pferde stürmen mit mir durchs Morgengrau
Auf dem Weg dorthin hörn meine Sorgen auf
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Alte Schatten wollen, dass ich nie mehr geh
Ihre Sonne ist kalt, egal wie hoch sie steht
Und am Horizont da brennt ein Licht
Die Welt da draußen wartet nur auf mich
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land |

You see this one-eyed midget
And hes shouting the word NOW
You say, Whats the matter?
And he says, How?
And you say, What does this mean?
And he screams back, Youre a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home
And you know something is happening
But you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
Your eyes in your pockets
And your head on the ground
There oughta be a law
Against you comin around
You should be made
To wear earphones
And you know something is happening
And you dont know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones? |
Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
I wondered if shed changed at much
If her hair was still red
Parents said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
Never did like mamas homemade dress
Papas bankbook wasnt big enough
I was sitting on the side of the road
Rain falling on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
God knows Ive paid some dues
Getting through
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Shе was married when we first mеt
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess
But I used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out West
Separated on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around and called to me
As I was walking away
I heard her say over my shoulder
Well meet again someday on the avenue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
I went out to the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
I headed down to New Orleans
And I lucky was to be employed
Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
All the while I was alone
The past was close behind
Known a lot of women
She never escaped my mind
And I just grew
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
She was working in a topless place
I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear
Later on when the crowd thinned out
I was just about to do the same
She was standing there in the back of my chair
Said to me, Dont I know your name?
I muttered something underneath my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
I thought youd never say hello, she said
You look like the silent type.
She opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
Every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring off from every page
Like it was written in my soul
From me to you
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
I lived with them on Montague street
In a basement down the stairs
Music in the cafés at night
And revolution in the air
Started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
Later on when the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Now Im going back again
I gotta get back to her somehow
All the people we used to know
Theyre an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters wives
Dont know how it all got started
I dont know what they do with their lives
Me, Im still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue, tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Tangled up in blue
Thanks a lot, everybody. Thanks for coming |
I tried a mail-train, mama, cant buy a thrill
Ive been up all night, mama, leanin on the window sill
If I die on top of the hill
If I dont make it, know my baby will
Dont the moon look good, mama, shinin through the trees?
Dont the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the Double E?
Dont the sun look good fine setting down over the sea?
Dont my gal look fine when shes running after me?
Wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody, but I could not get across
I wanna be your lover, baby, I dont wanna be your boss
Dont say I never warned you when your train gets lost
Dont say I nеver warned you when your train gеts lost |
Everybodys building big ships and boats
Some are making monuments, and some are jotting down notes
Everybodys in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybodys gonna jump for joy
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Like my sugar like the rest, I like my coffee sweet
But jumping queues and making haste, just aint my cup of meat
Nobody can get no sleep, someone on everyones toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, everybodys gonna want a dose
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
If you do what I want you to, I cant decide in my heart
Tell me where to put it and Ill tell you who to call
Everybodys neath the trees, feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here, every pigeons gonna run to him
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
Youll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn |
Now when your mother sends back all your invitations
And your father to your sister he explains
That youre tired of yourself and all of your creations
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now when the flower lady wants back all that she has lent you
And the smell of her roses does not remain
And when all your children, they all start to resent you
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now, when all the clowns you have commissioned
Have all died in battle or in vain
And you find yourself sick of all this repetition
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now when all of your advisers, they all heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Now, when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to
All throw down their bandannas and complain
Maybe you want someone that you dont have to speak to
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come and see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane?
Wont you come see me, Queen Jane? |

Quantos caminhos o homem deve andar
Pra que seja aceito como homem
Quantos mares a gaivota irá cruzar
Pra descansar na areia
Quanto tempo as balas
Dos canhões explodirão
Antes de serem proibidas
A resposta meu amigo está no ar
A resposta meu amigo está no ar
Quantas vezes deve o homem
Olhar pra cima para poder ver o céu
Quantos ouvidos o homem deve ter
Para ouvir os lamentos do povo
Quantas guerras ainda serão necessárias
Para que se saiba que se matou demais
Quanto tempo faz uma montanha existir
Antes que o mar a desfaça
Quantos anos pode o povo viver
Sem conhecer a liberdade
Quantas vezes o homem vira a cabeça
Fingindo não ver o que está vendo |
We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you throw us all aside
And put us on our way
Oh what daughter beneath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
Yet always answer, “No?”
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
Were so alone
And life is brief
We pointed out the way for you to go
We scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
Now, I want you to know that while you were watched
Discover no one was true
That I myself I really thought
It was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why Im always the one who must be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief |
Now, theres a certain thing
That I learned from Jim
Hed make sure Id understand
And that is that theres a certain way
That the men must swim
If he expects to live off of the fat of the land
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before

Now, theres a certain thing
That I learned from Jim
That hed make sure Id always understand
And that theres one certain way
That a man must swim
Where he expects to live off of the fat of the land
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Heard he said before
But I aint gonna hear it said no more
Now, theres a certain thing
That I learned from my friend, Mouse
That fella who always blushes
And that is that everyone must always
Flush out their house
If he dont expect to be going around housing flushes
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
But I aint gonna hear it said no more
Take care of all of your memories, said my friend Nick
And remember now you cannot relive them
And do not forget that
When you go out to heal the sick
That you must always first forgive them
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
Open the door, Richard
Ive heard it said before
And I aint gonna hear it said no more |
Now, I stand in awe and I shake my face
You break your promise all over the place
You promised to love me, but what do I see?
Just you coming and spillin juice over me
Odds and ends, odds and ends
Lost time is not found again
Now, you take your file, and you bend my head
I never can remember anything that youve said
You promised to love me, but what do I know?
Youre spilling juice on me like you got some place to go
Odds and ends, odds and ends
Lost time is not found again
Now, Ive had enough, my box is clean
You know what Im sayin and you know what I mеan
From now on youd best get on someonе else
While youre doing it, keep that juice to yourself
Odds and ends, odds and ends
Lost time is not found again |

Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Come take these guns off of me
You know I cant shoot them any more
Its getting too dark, you know its much too dark to really see
And I feel like I must be knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door

I was young when I left home
But I been out a-rambling around
And I never wrote a letter to my home
To my home, Lord, to my home
And I never wrote a letter to my home
It was just the other day
I was bringing home my pay
When I met an old friend I used to know
Said your mother’s dead and gone
Baby sister’s all gone wrong
And your daddy needs you home right away
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny on my name
Well I can’t go home Thisaway
Thisaway, Lord, Lord, Lord
And I can’t go home Thisaway
If you miss the train I’m on
Count the days I’m gone
You will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundrеd miles, honey baby. Lord Lord Lord
And you’ll hear that whistlе blow a hundred miles
I’m playing on a track
Ma would come and whoop me back
On them trestles down by old Jim McKay’s
When I pay the debt I owe
To the commissary store
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home
Go home, Lord Lord Lord
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home
Used to tell Ma sometimes
When I see them riding blinds
Going to make me a home out in the wind
In the wind, Lord in the wind
Make me a home out in the wind
I don’t like it in the wind
Want to go back home again
But I can’t go home Thisaway
Thisaway, Lord Lord Lord
And I can’t go home Thisaway
I was young when I left home
But I been out a-rambling around
And I never wrote a letter to my home
To my home, Lord, to my home
And I never wrote a letter to my home |
One, two, one two, three
Am Horizont da brennt ein Licht
Die Welt da draußen wartet nur auf mich
Hundert Pferde stürmen mit mir durchs Morgengrau
Auf dem Weg dorthin hörn meine Sorgen auf
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Zwei Zylinder voll Adrenalin
Gewitter, die durch die Straßen ziehn
Ich fahre los, schau nicht zurück
Dunkles Leder umarmt mich, wie das pure Glück
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Die Zeit zerreißt und die Weite bricht
Die Ferne naht und ich bremse nicht
Der Teufel nimmt meine Fährte auf
Doch mein Höllensturm pustet seine Kerze aus
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Am Horizont da brennt ein Licht

Auf dem Weg dorthin hörn meine Sorgen auf
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land

Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Alte Schatten wollen, dass ich nie mehr geh
Ihre Sonne ist kalt, egal wie hoch sie steht
Und am Horizont da brennt ein Licht
Die Welt da draußen wartet nur auf mich
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land
Kein Plan B und auch kein Notausgang
Nichts hält mich auf auf meinem Thron aus Flammen
Im freien Fall durch das Gelobte Land |
Go away from my window
Going at your own chosen speed
Im not the one you want, babe
Im not the one you need
You say youre lookin for someone
Never weak, but always strong
To protect you and defend you
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to open each and every door
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
Go lightly from the ledge, babe
Go lightly on the ground
Im not the one you want, babe
I will only let you down
You say youre lookin for someonе
Who will promise never to part
Somеone wholl close his eyes to you
Someone who will close his heart
Someone wholl die for you and more
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
Go melt back into the night, babe
Everything inside here is made of stone
Theres nothing in here moving
And anyway Im not alone
You say youre looking for someone
To pick you up each time you fall
To gather flowers constantly
And come each time you call
A lover for your life and nothing more
But it aint me, babe
No, no, no, it aint me, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe
It aint me youre lookin for, babe |

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin’ out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love
Honey baby, I can stand
I been meek
And hard like an oak
Ive seen pretty people disappear like smoke
Friends will arrive, friends will disappear
If you want me
Honey baby, I’ll be here
I like your smile
And your fingertips
I like the way that you move your hips
I like the cool way you look at me
Everything about you is bringing me misery
Little red wagon
Little red bike
I ain’t no monkey, but I know what I like
I like the way you love me strong and slow
I’m taking you with me
Honey baby, when I go
Life is sad
Life is a bust
All you can do is do what you must
You do what you must do, and you do it well
I do it for you
Honey baby, can’t you tell? |
