Silas and Jerome |
Now dig this
I was grooving down the road
just the other day
I saw this little nubile thing
just passin' by my way
I said listen baby
I'm a rock and roll star
and I got some news for you
she turned around and looked at me
just like she come out of school
And she said
you're cool, I said that's true
she said, you're very cool man
I said, so are you baby
she said, what time do you play
cos I might just be able to stay
I thought I was beginnin' to get through
I smiled as I put my hand in my coat
and I said I'm the man for you
she looked at me with those big blue eyes
and she smoked a whole cigarette through
she said, which band do you
http://www.lyricsofsong.com/w/m445
play for man
and I tried to clutch some air
I said, we are playin'
down the hall tonight
it'd be nice if you got it there
I thought I was gettin'
on to somethin big
I said to all my friends
she's comin' down to the gig
So she come out back after the show
and her friends came with her too
one with a great big scar and one
from the local zoo
I said, hey baby
can't we go some place
just you and me alone
she said, this is my boyfriend
Silas man, and my big kid
brother Jerome
I said, Oh shame on you
I could not believe that ït was true
but I suppose on the whole that's
rock and roll

I'm gonna stop drinking |
I came 'round this morning
I was feelin' like hell
Telephone exploded I went
Oh that bell
It sounded so loud in my head
I actually thought I was dead
Yeah, OK, Bye
Leave me be I'm
Gonna lay down and cry
I get this feelin'
Every time that I'm dry
Just hand me three fingers
And the longer, it lingers
I begin to feel high
All that I need
Is that friend in my hand
And I'm fine
Don't want no lemonade
First aid, no water or wine
All I need is spirit
Here's my glass
Will you please fill it
Im not gonna spill it
Just give me time
To readjust me
Why does no one seem
To trust me
Well why don't you
Come along if you like
And you can bust me
But all I want is spirit
Here's my glass please fill it
Don't worry I ain't gonna spill it
All that I need
Is that friend in my hand
And Im fine
All that I need
Is that friend in my hand
And I'm fine
Don't want no lemonade
First aid, no water or wine
So don't try to trick me
In to thinking I'm gonna
Get better some day
All you gotta do is
Give me that friend in my hand
And I'm gonna show you all the way
I'm gonna stop drinking
I know what your thinking
But I'm gonna stop drinking
........Some day

Soldier of fortune |
[Verse 1]
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay
[Chorus]
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
[Verse 2]
Many times I've been a traveler
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
[Chorus]
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

You keep on moving |
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry... still returning
Dawn will soon be breaking,
The day has just begun.
You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun.
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread...

Burn |
The sky is red, I don't understand,
Past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return. "
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time,
We could not even try.
You know we had no time.
You know we had no time,
We could not even try.
You know we had no time.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
Past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

This time around |
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lovers we're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around you can't be found
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
So look around we all will be found
In love
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lover you're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around you can't be found
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
Fly
By

Uncommon man |
Our days fall together in time
You said you can't have it all
Beast and the broom, I have that kind of feeling
It's got to be twenty foot tall
But the man
Is still alive
Oh, oh, oh
It's good to be king
Standing together again
Everyone is starting to sway
I wanna hit all the clubs to the sky
Oh, it's a fabulous day
If I'm back
It's walk and talk
Oh, oh, oh
It's good to be king
It's good to be king
By the way,
The carriage is waiting
To take yo away
If you let all the fear right in
We'd never betray you
Believe what you see
It's late as enticing, drift away
It's good to be king
It's good to be king
It's good to be king
Yea, it's good to be king

Above and beyond |
Light turn the candle
I spark one for me
Let it float on the water
Right down to the sea
You draw back your curtain
A wavy goodbye
Lift up your arms
And look up to the sky
To the sky!
Stop me a candle
And keep it in the light
Thought it pairing window
And I come back tonight
You touch me in the darkness
I send you a sign
A give me your loving
And I'll give you mine
I'm maybe leaving
But I won't be gone
I'll be there when you want me
Above and beyond
You're fading like I tell you
It's all up to you
I'll be there if you'll need me
If I get it through
Reached on your settlers
And tomorrow you'll find
Your souls had been touched
Are forever entwined
I'm maybe leaving
But I won't be gone
I'll be there when you want me
Above and beyond
Yes I'm maybe leaving
But not for too long
I'll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

Lazy |
You're lazy just stay in bed
You're lazy just stay in bed
You don't want no money
You don't want no bread
If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
You don't want to live you don't want to cry no more
Well my trying ain't done no good
I said my trying ain't done no good
You don't make no effort no not like you should
Lazy you just stay in bed
Lazy you just stay in bed
You don't want no money
You don't want no bread

When a blind man cries |
If you're leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people, anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
There ain't a sadder tale
Had a friend once, in a room
Had a good time, but it ended much too soon
In a cold month, in that room
We found a reason, for the things we had to do
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
He feels it from his soul

Perfect strangers |
Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent
well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers

Black night |
Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark light
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home

Hush |
I got a certan little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it
She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep
Listen
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it
