Ben Harper!!

We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moments time could one see forever after
I gently lie beside of you and dream away my tears

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama, like the way to throw your head back when your swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa, like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still

But that was now and this is then
It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days; but I'm so glad they're gone

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me
So that you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cause I'm hoplessly addicted, addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow

Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind
We're gonna burn to shine

You look like gold to me
and I'm not too blind to see
you look like gold
you make me wanna sing
with all the joy you bring
you look like gold

like the rays down from the sun
when a new day has just begun
you look like gold

I've been fooled before
but now I know
I've made the mistake in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass

not the kind of gold you wear
but the kind that can feel my care
you look like gold

some shine when the day is new
but fade when the day is through
but you look like gold

I've been wrong before
but now I know
I've made mistakes in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass

you look like gold to me
and I'm down on bending knees
you look like gold
and I just want you to know
to me you mean so much more
than all the gold
you look like gold

Ben Harper is a total god!!! He's great when you're sober. He's wonderful when you're stoned. And, oh yea, apart from being handsome he plays great guitar.


Mama's Got A Girlfriend Now

Papa he left home today
said he ain't comin' back again
said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best
just cause mama's got a special kind of friend

Papa he left home today
said he ain't comin' back no more
said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat
and how could mama do him so low

But mama's got a girlfriend now boy
mama's got a girlfriend now
mama's got a girlfriend
mama's got a true friend
mama's got a girlfriend now

You see mama don't watch your damn football
and your beer drinkin' just won't do
you're just stayin' out late
and you're preachin' the hate
and you never have been true

You see mama she want her somebody
who will let her be herself
so she's leavin' you
and your stinky damn ways
cause she's found somebody else

And mama's got a girlfriend now boy
mama's got a girlfriend now
mama's got a girlfriend
mama's found a true friend
mama's got a girlfriend now

Papa he left home today
he was wavin' his hands and cryin'
you could tell by the sound
and the tone in his voice
that his heart was slowly dyin'

But mama said "Boy if I ever
catch you 'round here again
you ain't never gonna have nobody else
not a woman or a man"

And mama's got a girlfriend now boy
mama's got a girlfriend now
mama's got a girlfriend
mama found a true friend
mama's got a girlfriend now
mama's got a girlfriend now boy
mama's got a girlfriend now
mama's got a girlfriend
mama's found a true friend
mama's got a girlfriend now
