I'm Off

[69forever]

I'll sing this song, sad and blue
Of lonely times not spent with you
Distance was the least of such
'Cause I have loved you much.

Never sad, always true
Was that way and ever do
The love we shared
Always cared.

One would hurt
Make a blurt
Or just a feeling
That we were needing.

To keep in touch
Our love's been such.

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY ~ U2
(Music:U2;Lyrics:Bono)

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight, tonight

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

THE BALLAD OF CURTIS LOEW ~ Lynyrd Synyrd
(Allen Collin-Ronnie Van Zant)

Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough
Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store
Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew

Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care
He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee
I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me

Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people are the fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues

He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten
Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time
He'd play me a song or two
Then take another drink of wine.

Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people are the fools
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues

Yes sir

On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray
Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the glade
But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues
And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose

Play me a song Curtis Loew, Hey Curtis Loew
I wish that you was here so everyone would know
People said he was useless, them people all are fools
'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues

LONG TRAIN RUNNIN’
Doobie Bros

Down around the corner
A half a mile from here
You can see them long trains run
And you watch them disappear
Without love
Where would you be now
Without love

You know I saw miss lucy
Down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family
And she won’t be comin’ back
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love

Well the illinois central
And the southern central freight
Gotta keep on pushin’ mama
’cause you know they’re runnin’ late
Without love
Where would you be now - now, now, now
Without love

Well the pistons keep on churnin’
And the wheels go ’round and ’round
And the steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down
Without love
Where would you be right now
Without love
Where would you be now

SIMPLE MAN
(Gary Rossington / Ronnie VanZant)
Lynyrd Skynyrd


Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

AFFECTION
(Steven Van Zandt)

Trash and vaudeville
Tight dresses and painted faces
It's time to free the lions
From the circus cages

Jaded baby
Come whisper in my ear
Better come closer 'cause
The music is loud here

I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of
I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams
Deep inside
Don't you have a little bit of sympathy

Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard

Don't you get tired
Same smilin' faces
Don't you get a little bit lonely
Hiding in crowded places

Don't trust the stranger
You should know better
But this heart of darkness
Can be your shelter

I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here
I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy
I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did

Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard

 

[Soron]

beginning the path

watching the passion and fear in your eyes
as you travel along this new path.
knowing your desires have led you here,
to this special moment in time.
kneeling before me...ready to begin,
whispering words of love.
running my fingers through your hair,
cherishing the gift you bring.
describing to you the roles we will play,
as we explore our sensuous depths.
watching the fire dance in your eyes,
in anticipation of learning to soar.

leaning close...whispering...are you ready to begin my love.
smiling tenderly into your eyes.....as you nod your head yes.

Michael Montgomery

DIRT ROAD BLUES
(Bob Dylan)

Gonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone will let me ride
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone will let me ride
If I can't find my baby I'm gonna run away and hide

Well, I been pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back
pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back
Well, I been praying for salvation
Laying round in a one-room country shack

Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed
Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed
'Til there's nothing left to see
'Til the chains have been shattered and I been freed

But I'm looking at my shadow, I been watching the clouds up above
looking at my shadow, watching the clouds up above
Rolling through the rain and hail
Looking for the sunny side of love

Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same
I keep on walking 'til I hear her holler out my name

PEOPLE LIKE ME ~ Hanoi Rocks

You need someone to point your finger at
Well yeah, I’m your man, I’m everything you lack
Someone to kick around when I’m down
Maybe steal my credit where success is found

Yeah, one once might’ve had a hit
But that’s yesterday’s news, now no one gives a shit
In the void of my depression time
I fought my way back to a better life

BUT I’M SO JADED, DREAMS FADED
IT’S HARDER THAN YOU THINK
LOVED, HATED, FRUSTRATED
I’M THE MISSING LINK
RADIO AND MTV – YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME

I never did pussy-foot around
Or trade King for a day for a lifetime clown
I don’t look back or before I leap
I get my kicks and I take the heat

All the same

I’M SO JADED, DREAMS FADED
IT’S HARDER THAN YOU THINK
LOVED, HATED, FRUSTRATED
I’M THE MISSING LINK
RADIO AND MTV – YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!

SO JADED, FRUSTRATED
LIVIN’ ON A BRINK
YOU FEED OFF ME, LEAN ON ME
I’M THE BEAT YOU MISSED

SO JADED, FRUSTRATED
IT’S HARDER THAN YOU THINK
LOVED, HATED – I MADE IT
I’M THE MISSING LINK
RADIO AND MTV – YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!

I SAID, RADIO AND MTV - YOU NEED PEOPLE LIKE ME!

You’ll like me!

WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE
(Bob Dylan)

Oh my name it is 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 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
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

Oh 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 memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
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.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And 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 Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
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 the 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 you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' 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'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

"I Surrender"
Crosby & Nash

In times of meditation
I can hear the sweetest voice
Sounding out across the distance
Breaking through the noise

Then there comes a vision
And then a touch so tender
No more indecision
I surrender

I try and keep my heart protected
I try and keep my cool
But just as I suspected
I don't make the rules

I'm giving myself over
No more great pretender
I wanna be your lover
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender

I'm giving myself over
No more great pretender
I wanna be your lover
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender
I surrender

"Free In You"
Indigo Girls

A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying

A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss

And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away

But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you

And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free

Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

BORN AGAIN SAVAGE
(Steven Van Zandt)

We are the chosen ones that's what they taught me
We've got the power, the money, the guns
If there's a God He is white and on our side
You'll believe anything when you are young

We are the civilized they always told me
Religion is organized I was told
I found it more honest exploring the darkness
'cause Jesus never wore no South African gold

Look around baby we're desperate and divided
All calling God by different names
Kneeling to praise Him while we poison His garden
I'm Born Again Savage and can't play the game

There ain't no justice for the loyal foot soldier
We're promised salvation but not till we die
Our bodies are churches of wisdom and pleasures
Don't be afraid baby let's look inside

I've danced with the spirits I've challenged my demons
Been baptized in the blood of my own killing ground
We laughed when the elders said all life is sacred
And natural law's gonna punish us now

Look around at the volunteer slavery
Everyone drinking and dying of thirst
Don't look up baby 'cause no one's gonna save you

I'm Born Again Savage and a child of the earth

This flesh we walk 'round in is so temporary
It's misused and disused, discarded too fast
Invite me into your temple to worship
I'm Born Again Savage and free at last

SO DAMN LUCKY ~ Dave Matthews
(Matthews-Harris)

Everythings different
With my head in the clouds
I hit this corner
With my foot on the gas
I started sliding, I lose it
Everything's different just like that

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me?
Frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?

So damn lucky, that you went on ahead
You said, you said
"I'll see you later..."
I heard what you said a few minutes later
Now I'm sliding
And everything's different again

Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me?
This frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?
I'm dizzy from all this spinning

Now I'm thinking that you did all you could
When you said "My love
Take it slowly..."
"Ok," is what I said
Oh my God, wait and see
What will soon become of me?

This frozen heart
Screaming wheels
Does that screaming come from me?

Take me back, 'cause just before I was spinning
Take me back, just before I got dizzy
Take me back, amazing what a minute can do
Just like you
So, so, slide, slide, up, around, around, around
Amazing what a minute can do
Around, Around, Around
"Forgive me",
"Ok."

WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN ~ The Who
(Pete Townshend)

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the foe, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-by
And the party on the left
Is now the party on the right
And their beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

BACK TO TUPELO
(Mark Knopfler)

around the time of ‘clambake’
movie number twenty-five
you and the lying dutchman
are still in overdrive
you’re as strong as when you started
mississippi in your soul
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll

it isn’t just the records
no, you must have hollywood
the songs alone are not enough
that much is understood
you’ll soon be back in memphis
maybe then you’ll know what to do
the storylines they’re giving you
are just not ringing true

oh, it’s a ways to go
back to tupelo

when you’re young and beautiful
your dreams are all ideals
later on it’s not the same
lord, everything is real
sixteen hundred miles of highway
roll back to the truth
and a song to give your mother
in your first recording booth

around the time of ‘clambake’
that old dream’s still rolling on
sometimes there’ll be the feeling
things are going wrong
the morning star is fading
lord, the mississippi’s cold
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll

but it’s a ways to go
back to tupelo

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
(David Bowie)

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
