I'm Off

Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain.

ANGOLA BOUND ~ Aaron Neville
(Aaron Neville-Charles Neville)

Too many mornin' gotta wake up soon
Oh Lord, and eat my breakfast by the light of 'de moon
Oh Lord, by the light of 'de moon

If you see my Momma, tell her this for me
Oh I've got a mighty long time, Lord knows I'll never go free
Oh Lord, I'll never be free

Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound

I got lucky last summer when I got my time, Angola bound
Well my partner got a hundred, I got ninety-nine, Angola bound
You been a long time coming but you're welcome home, Angola bound
And go to Louisiana get your burdens on, Angola bound
Oh Captain, oh Captain don't you be so cruel, Angola bound
Oh you work me harder than you work that mule, Angola bound

If it wasn't for the Captain, oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house
I'd be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down
You come up here skippin' and a' jumpin', oh Lord, it won't last long
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother's arms

Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound

Don't want no gal-boy lovin' cause I got my load, Angola bound
Don't want no trouble out 'de boys I know, Angola bound
Oh they always talkin' 'bout dangerous blue, Angola bound
If I had my shank I'd be dangerous too, Angola bound
Oh Captain say walk and the boss say run, Angola bound
If I had my pistol I would do 'nere one, Angola bound

If it wasn't for the Captain, oh Lord, I'm shaggin' house

If I'd always listened to what my Momma said, Angola bound
I wouldn't be deep down in the trouble this way, Angola bound
Oh my Momma, she told me, leave that junk alone, Angola bound
Got hooked to the habit, had to carry on, Angola bound
The jury found me guilty cause they wrote it down, Angola bound
Judge said, junkie boy you're penitentiary bound, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
Angola bound, now, Angola bound

NOT A PRETTY GIRL
(Ani DiFranco)

I am not a pretty girl
that is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distess
and I don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
I am not an angry girl
but it seems like I've got everyone fooled
every time I say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling
and I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
and I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally I agree with them
trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate plan
and I have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
and I am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if I knew that and I called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up
I am not a pretty girl
I don't want to be a pretty girl
no I want to be more than a pretty girl
 
A little late with this...

MLK
(Words:Bono;Music:U2)

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
So let it be
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him



PRIDE (In the name of love)
(Words:Bono;Music:U2)

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow


In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love


One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss


In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love


(nobody like you...)


Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride


In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
 
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Lee Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
 
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me
Kind of woman, I give you my all
Kind of woman, nothing more
And so today my world it shines
Your hand in mine we walk the miles
And thanks to you it will be done
Cause you to me are the only, only one.


 
WHEN JESUS LEFT BIRMINGHAM
(John Mellencamp)

When Jesus left Birmingham
All the disciples went crazy.
When Jesus left Birmingham
All the people went completely nuts.
They all busted out on a wild night
Riding high on a golden calf.
When Jesus left Birmingham
All the people had themselves a big long laugh.

Well my girl, she's a walker
And she can talk herself out of any mess.
My girl, she don't pray
But somehow she seems still to be blessed.
And when those crazy nights come callin',
Man, she'll dance on the tables
Like all of the rest.
When my girl left Birmingham
She was doing what she thought was best.

It's all free on the inside.
I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night.
Save us right now, we need you...
To hell with all the lies and liars.
Recovery, recovery, I don't know about any recovery.
Inside, gotta get inside,
Inside.

I see myself with a rosary,
I'm in a garden and I'm talking to myself.
I ain't sayin' much worth repeating,
Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best.
When those crazy nights come callin',
Man, I'm just as human as I can be.
When Jesus left Birmingham
He left it there for you and me.
When Jesus left Birmingham
He left it there for you and me.

So let it rock, let it roll,
Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul.
 
Haunted
Jewel

I will come 2 u
In the still of the night
And I will crush u
With the burden of sight
And u will understand
The shadows in my heart
The fury of my conviction
Will cause your heart 2 quicken
And then, my dear
U will see u want me here

And when u wake up
U will see yourself through my eyes
And when u break up
You'll understand
Why it is I cry

Let me speak quietly
So your heart can hear
I will hypnotize and mesmerize u
With the sound of your own fear

And when u wake up
U will see yourself through my eyes
And when u break up
You'll understand
Why it is I cry

I just wanna get along
This is your song
I wrote it in my head
But the melody's all wrong
And it's driving me crazy
Not having u, baby
2 keep me company
In my own private world
You're my one true girl
And I won't be stoppin'
Just 'cause your knees are knockin'
When I decide 2 drop in
So don't make a sound
'Cause there's no one around
2 come between us now
I'm gonna haunt u, girl

And when u wake up
U will finally see yourself through my eyes
And when u break up
Oh, oh You will realize
Why it is I cry
And come to you
In the still of the night
 
NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN
Justin Hayward
The Moody Blues - 1972


Nights in white satin never reaching the end
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
Cause I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you

Gazing at people some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be you'll be in the end
And I love you
Yes I love you
Oh how I love you, oh

Well, I thought I had heard that K C when she moan
Thought I heard that K C when she moan
Thought I heard that K C when she moan
Well, she sound like she got a heavy load

Yes and when I get back on the K C road
When I get back on the K C road
When I get back on the K C road
Gonna love my woman like I never loved before

Well I thought I heard that K C whistle moan
Well I thought I heard that K C whistle moan
Well I thought I heard that K C whistle moan
Well she blow like my woman's on board

When I get back on that K C road
When I get back on that K C road
When I get back on that K C road
Gonna love my baby like I never loved before

Wherever You Are / Moody Blues


These times have passed and gone
It’s time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt
The sorrow and the pain
’cos tonight will never
Pass this way again

Wherever you are
Wherever you go
Wherever you stand
Let your shadow show
Whatever you think
Whatever you do
Whatever you want
Let your feelings show

These times have passed and gone
It’s time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt
The sorrow and the pain
’cos tonight will never
Pass this way again
’cos tonight will never
Pass this way again

Just like the winter sun
That hides behind the dawn
Just like the shifting sands
That ride upon the storm

Tonight will never
Pass this way again
’cos tonight will never
Pass this way again
’cos tonight will never
Pass this way again
’cos tonight will never
Pass this way again

FOR YOU BLUE ~ The Beatles
(George Harrrison)

[Queen says no to pot smoking FBI members]

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true,
I love you more than ever girl I do.
I want you in the morining girl I love you,
I want you at the moment I feel blue,
I'm living ev'ry moment girl for you.
I've loved you from the moment I saw you,
You looked at me that's all you had to do,
I feel it now I hope you feel it too.
(Go Johnny GO!...those old thwelve bar blues)

Because you're sweet and lovely girl I love you,
Because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true,
I love you more than ever girl I do.
I really love you.
(Those old rhythm and blues)
 
Maybe ~ The Moody Blues

Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
To go on thinking, to sing my song
Maybe
This world's falling down
Call up the trumpeters and knock the walls down

Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you

Slowly
Slowly we walk
No harm in crying, no sense in talk
Slowly
The ice melts away
Call on the choir to sing
And turn no-one away

Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you

Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
The river holds its breath
The sea will keep its calm
Slowly
Slowly we turn
A look at where we've been
The juggler has to learn

Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
Someone who needs
Someone who feels
Someone who sees can find you
 
Once Is Enough ~ Moody Blues

Just ask me once
Don't ask me twice
Never ask me three times
I don't give that much advice
I took my chance at the first opportunity
To wander through this world
And to do what comes so naturally
Once is enough
Just ask me once
Once is enough
Just ask me once

Sometimes you're first
Sometimes you're last
Then again you're somewhere
In your "days of future passed"
If you can find yourself and know just where you are
Don't let the wind turn you
You're stronger than you think you are
Once is enough
Just ask me once
Once is enough
Just ask me once

Once I was rich
Once I was poor
Once I was no-one
I ain't no-one anymore
Once in a lifetime there's a chance that comes your way
Take it with both your hands and be somebody for a day
Once is enough
Just ask me once
Once is enough
Just ask me once
 
Never Blame the Rainbows for the Rain ~ Moody Blues

Sailing along
The river of time
Adrift on dreams
Through midnight chimes
Positively frozen
Crystal Waterfalls
The mountain of hope
Is there to be climbed
The sea of serenity
Is rightfully mine
Step on to the water
Knowing what is true

Never blame the rainbows for the rain
And learn to forget the memories
That cause you pain
The last whispered wish of age
Is to live it all again
So never blame the rainbows for the rain

The beat of my heart
The rythm of love
The earth that's beneath us
The heavens above
I can hear forever
Calling out to me
The changes we go though
Are making me strong
The shelter of friendship
Is where we belong
Look into the future
Knowing what we see

Never blame the rainbows for the rain
And learn to forget the memories
That cause you pain
The last whispered wish of age
Is to live it all again
So never blame the rainbows for the rain

The whirpool of doubt
Can spin you around
The wave of emotion
Takes you up
Pulls you down
Leaving far behind us
Sweet young passions spray

Never blame the rainbows for the rain
And learn to forget the memories
That cause you pain
The last whispered wish of age
Is to live it all again
So never blame the rainbows
Never blame the rainbows
Never blame the rainbows for the rain

This is the one that says it all for me...

DADDY'S COME HOME ~ Gary US Bonds
(Steven Van Zandt)

It's been a long long time for us
I need to talk but I'm not sure enough
It's about the changing of the palace guard
But I really don't know where to start
You see the children have all gone away
I don't think I like what's taken their place
Something's happening I don't understand
I hope I don't show how afraid I am

Daddy's come home
Back where he belongs

The country's gotten hard my love
People's faces have changed so much
Something's missing that was there before
Like they've forgotten what they're livin' for
All I can do is keep doing my part
Tryin' my best to touch somebody's heart
Before we let go of our little girl
I hope I get the chance to change the world

Daddy's come home
Back where he belongs

I don't want to say goodnight
But somebody's stolen all the street lamps' light
We've talked enough, drank too much
Now I need your touch, my love
Soon the day will break
Until then I'm gonna give you all the love you can take
In the morning help me all you can
I'll need all your strength to leave again

Daddy's come home
Back where he belongs

:heart:
