We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time
But Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water
Smoke on the water
They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water
Smoke on the water
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling-truck-Stones-thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights, a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know well never forget
Smoke on the water
Smoke on the water |
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When Id take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel Im growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times Ive 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 youre not here
Now I feel Im growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune
I guess Ill always be
A soldier of fortune |
Sweet child, in time, youll see the line
The line thats drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If youve been bad, oh Lord, I bet you have
And youve not been hit by flying lead
Youd better close your eyes
Youd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Uhhh-uhhh-uhhh

Can you remember, remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
Oh-oh-oh
And cold, cold spirits of ice, ah, ah
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
Oh, oh-oh-oh
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers
Ah, ah, ah, no
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, oh-oh-oh
Is aching with the dead of the night
Oh-uh-oh, precious life
Your tears are lost in falling rain
And if you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain perfect strangers
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, yeah |
Nobody going to take my car
Im going to race it to the ground
Nobody going to beat my car
Its going to break the speed of sound
Ooh, its a killing machine

Big fat tires and everything

And I need it
I bleed it
Yeah, its a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight

Nobody going to take my girl
Im going to keep her to the end
Nobody going to have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Ooh, shes a killing machine
Shes got everything
Like a moving mouth
Body control and everything
I love her
I need her
I see her
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold tight
Im a highway star
Nobody going to take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody going to steal my head
Now that Im on the road again
Ooh, Im in heaven again
Ive got everything
Like a moving ground
An open road and everything
I love it
And I need it
I seed it
Eight cylinders, all mine
Alright, hold tight
Im a highway star
Nobody going to take my car
Im going to race it to the ground
Nobody going to beat my car
Its going to break the speed of sound
Ooh, its a killing machine
Its got everything

And I need it
I bleed it
Yeah, its a mad hurricane
Alright, hold tight
Im a highway star

I got a certain little girl, shes on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
Shes the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes shes gonna
Make me feel so bad
Na na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na, na na na, na na na
Hush, hush

Calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her
Just the same now

And Im not to blame now
They got it early in the morning
They got it late in the evening
Well, I want that, need it

Shes got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and Im in so deep

The sky is red, I dont understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The citys ablaze, the towns on fire
The womans flames are reaching higher
We were fools, we called her a liar
All I hear is
Burn!
I didnt believe she was the devils sperm
She said, Curse you all, youll never learn
When I leave theres no return
The people laughed till she said, Burn!
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, 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 dont understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are saying the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand
Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shaking, we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared
Still I hear
Burn! |
If youre leaving, close the door
Im not expecting people, anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether Im drunk or dead
I really aint too sure
Im a blind man
Im a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
There aint 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
Im a blind man
Im a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know
He feels it from his soul |
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said, I aint for taking, wont you ever learn?
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy, you cant go far
I couldnt get her
But things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on baby, youre my star
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman
Ooh my soul, I love you
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
Im dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
Who do you think you are?
Superstar
Who do you think you are?
Superstar
Superstar
Who do we think we are?
Oh my soul, I love you baby |
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rocket
She never knew the reason why
I cant deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh, its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Its knocking at the door
You know its no good running
Its not against the law
The point of no return
Now you know the score
And now youre learning
Ah-ha, whats knockin at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pants
We had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
Now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I cant deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh, its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Its knocking at the door
You know its no good running
No, its not against the law
The point of no return
Now you know the score
And now youre learning
Ah-ha, whats knockin at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high
I cant deny it
With that smile on my face, oh-oh-oh
Its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Knocking at your door
You know its no good running
Now its knocking at your door
Ah-ha, knocking at your back door |
Oh yeah, I see the way you roll your eyes
The way your purse your lips
Throw your stuff into a suitcase
Put your hands upon your hips
Im unmoved by your evil glare
The way you toss your head
You make stupid accusations
By which time Ive lost the thread
Sometimes I wonder how it is you get
To piss me off this much
I may be heavy-handed
And I lack the tender touch
You moan and groan about me staying out
And drinking with the guys
How bout I bring them home?
Try that one on for size
Theres something awfully wrong with this deal, babe
Any fool could see its true
Cant you understand how I feel, babe?
Youve got me
But all I got is you
I guess I just dont have it in me
To keep you satisfied
To be honest with you, babe
Im only in it for the ride
And you may never bring yourself
To take me as I am
But in case you havent noticed
I dont give a fucking damn! |
Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
We meet with all the groovy people
We rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealis
Were space truckin round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go space truckin
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin
Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way?
We moved through the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
Got music in our solar system
Were space truckin round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go space truckin
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin
The fireball that we rode was moving
But now weve got a new machine
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, the freaks said
Man this cat can really swing!
They got music in the solar system
They danced around the Milky Way
They danced around with Borealis
Were space truckin every day
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go space truckin
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin
Come on, come on, come on
Lets go space truckin
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, space truckin |
Youre lazy, you just stay in bed
Youre lazy just stay in bed
You dont want no money, you dont want no bread
If youre drowning, you dont clutch no straw
If youre drowning, you dont clutch no straw
You dont want to live, dont want to cry no more
Well, my crying aint done no good
I said, my trying aint done no good
You dont make no effort, no, not like you should
Lazy!
You just stay in bed
Lazy!
You just stay in bed
You dont want no money, you dont want no bread |
Black night is not right
I dont feel so bright
I dont care to sit tight
Maybe Ill find on the way down the line
That Im free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I dont need a dark tree
I dont want a rough sea
I cant feel, I cant see
Maybe Ill find on the way down the line
That Im free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night
I dont need black night
I cant see dark light
Maybe Ill find on the way down the line
That Im free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home |
Good Golly said little Miss Molly
When she was rocking in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rocking to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didnt do her daddys will
Come on baby drive me crazy do it do it
Im a speed king
You got to hear me sing
Im a speed king
See me fly
Saturday night and I just got paid
Going to fool about isnt going to save
Some people going to rock some people gonna roll
Going to have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice take a little beans
Going to rock and roll down to New Orleans
Some people going to rock some people going to roll
Going to have a party to save my soul
Come on baby drive me crazy do it do it |
Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because its coming your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
Hes got nothing you need
Hes going to make you bleed
And you know hes gonna get you
Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
Hes got nothing you need
Hes going to make you bleed
Coming out of nowhere
Driving like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
Because its coming your way
Cause its coming your way
Cause its coming your way
Cause its coming your way
Cause its coming your way
Cause its coming your way |
The golden light above you shows me where youre from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill they bebop all around you
They wonder where youre from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
Oh, my love, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way
I tried to understand you, tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
And people ask me where youre from
They really wanna know
Oh, my soul, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way
Magic woman wrecking up my soul
Things you tell me have never been told
Magic woman I dont know
Electric before me I love you so I love you so
Youre racing like a fireball dancing like a ghost
Youre Gemini and I dont know which one I like the most
My head is getting broken and
My mind is getting bust
But now Im coming with you down the road of golden dust
Oh, my love, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way
The golden light above you shows me where youre from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill they bebop all around you
They wonder where youre from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
Oh, my love, its a long way
Where youre from its a long way |
Creeping round my door, I got a big surprise
Couldnt see a thing but open skies
Theyve taken her away
Where is she now?
Wish that she was here, I wish shed hold my hand
Maybe she would laugh, maybe understand
Why was I so cruel?
Where is she now?
{Organ Solo}
Acting like a fool, I had to make her cry
Maybe Im a leo but I aint a lion
Im hurtin for her so bad
I want her now |
It wasnt quite the curse of Tutankhamen
Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night
And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon
Tempting me with transports of delight
And then the devil took my hand and said
Come along with me
Oh, there I was, wide awake and dreaming
Reaching out for something in the sky
But I could not control that trembling feeling
Everything I want is slipping by
Oh, and the devil took my hand and said
Something you should see
I never knew what happened to my nightmare
Everything went dark that August day
And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere
But I was on the upside of afraid
And then an angel took my hand and said
Come along with me |
Somebodys shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobodys up there
Its a deception
When will I ever learn?
Im alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home
Wondering blindly
How can they find me?
Maybe they dont even know
My body is shaking
Anticipating
The call of the black-hooded crow
Im alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And talking with pictures of home
Here in this prison
Of my own making
Year after day, I have grown
Into a hero
But theres no worship
Where have they hidden my throne?
Im alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And screaming out pictures of home |
Ive been mistreated, Ive been abused
Ive been struck downhearted, baby, Ive been confused
Cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated
Since my baby left me, Ive been losing my mind, you know I have
Ive been lonely, Ive been cold
Ive been looking for a woman to have and hold
Cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated
Since my baby left me, Ive been losing, Ive been losing
Ive been losing my mind, baby baby babe
Ive been mistreated, Ive been abused
Ive been looking for a woman, yeah, Ive been confused
Cause I know, yes, I know Ive been mistreated
Since my baby left me, Ive been losing, losing
Ive been losing my mind, baby baby babe
Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman
Ive been losing my mind |
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When Id take your hand and sing you songs then maybe you would say
Come lay with me, love me
I would surely stay
Now I feel Im growing older
And all the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I will always be
The soldier of fortune
Many times Ive been a traveler, I looked for something new
In days of old when the nights were cold
I wandered without you
Those days I thought my eyes could see you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that youre not here
Now I feel Im growing older
And all the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I will always be
The soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I will always be
The soldier of fortune
I guess I will always be
The soldier of
Fortune |
While you were out
The message says
You left a number
And I tried to call
But they wrote it down
In a perfect Spanish scrawl
Yet again
Im missing you
King size bed
hotel someplace
I hear your name
I see your face
back street dolls
And the side door johnnies
The wide eyed boys with their bags full of
Money
Back in the alley
Going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail
Of a midnight crawl
Heaven wouldnt be
So high I know
If the times gone by
Hadnt been so low
The best laid plans
Come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams
Sometimes I feel like
Screaming
Close my eyes
Its times like this
My head goes down
And the only thing I know
Is the name of this town
Yet again
Im missing you
Wont be long
O coming home
Until that distant time
Ill be moving on |
Got a black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain thats going to make me wise
Got a long story that I want to tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of loving that I want to give
Baby Im a mystery but you know I got to live
I tried another but she didnt want to know
Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from a hard loving man
Im a long way from where I want to go
Guess Ill stay awhile I really love you so
Hows about another sip of all the wine you got
Take a tip from me and give it here Ill drink the lot
Im not a whiny Im a putting on a show
You really grab me but Ive got to move
Before they know Im here and spread the news
Maybe in a while when Ive moved around
I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds |
Im talking to myself again
And waving to a passing friend
Ive know her since I dont know when
Ah, its nothing at all
Just the few of us walk arm in arm
Its innocent and charming
But the children seem to be getting alarmed
Dont worry kids, its nothing at all
When I hear about the doom and gloom
Thats around the corner and coming soon
I take a sip of mothers ruin
And sit with my back to the wall
Its nothing at all
Nothing at all
And the old lady smiled
Its nothing at all
Then she blew all the leaves off my tree
And the junk that sails our seven seas
Is very nearly up to my knees
But the platitudes and pleasantries
Keep saying its nothing at all
Ill deal with it on another day
If I close my eyes itll go away
So bottoms up, boys, and what do you say?
Really, its nothing at all
Its nothing at all
Nothing at all
And the old lady smiled
Its nothing at all
And the summer passed away
Nothing at all
Its nothing at all
And the old lady smiled
It was nothing at all
Then she blew all the leaves off my tree |
I dont know what lies ahead
Its all a mystery man, I heard it said
You do your thing, you do your best
I take a guess at what happen next
All Ive got is what I need
And thats enough, as far as I can see
Why should I walk into the great unknown
When I can sit here, and throw my bones?
I hear the future is so divine
But Ill just wait until I get a sign
Cause what Ive got here, what Im holding in my hand
Is better for me than some promised land
All Ive got is what I need
And thats enough, as far as I can see
Why should I walk into the great unknown
When I can sit here, and throw my bones?
Whats the rush? Whos to say?
You cant escape tomorrow, its another day
Im hanging here, Im here on solid ground
Cause heavens full, or closing down
All Ive got is what I need
And thats enough, as far as I can see
Why should I walk into the great unknown
When I can sit here, and throw my bones?
Oh yeah |
I stood under your bedroom window
Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this thats hanging round my girl
And threw me in the cab
Youre a farmers daughter
Youre a farmers daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didnt oughta get
I wont get no more eggs and water
Now Ive laid the farmers daughter
Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I came and see you here
And do this every night
Wham! The door comes crashing down
Your daddys face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
Ill put you in my jail
Youre a judges daughter
Youre a judges daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didnt oughta get
Now Im getting jail and torture
Cos I made the judges daughter
Yes, I did
It was nice
It seems theyre screaming law and order
When I go with anyones daughter
Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think youre gonna die of fright
When I tell you what Ive done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say Im dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughters babys daddy
Shes a lucky daughter
Such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get
The kinda girl I didnt wanna get
Now Ive got what I always fought for
Cos Ive married a rich mans daughter
Ha
What do you think of that |
Fly into the rising sun
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
But Im at home and I just dont belong
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When were alone in Her City of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo |
If youre drifting on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon
Its like searching for the holy grail
You feel theres no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
Its only your reflection
And you still havent got no place to go
Time will show
When, I dont know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it steal or borrow
Ill be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Oh woman, I keep returning
To sing the same old song
The storys been told, now Im getting old
Tell me, where do I belong?
Feel like Im going to surrender
Hard times Ive had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe, I could get back up
Time will show
When, I dont know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it steal or borrow
But Ill be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it steal or borrow
But Ill be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it steal or borrow
But Ill be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah |
Sun sets in the west
Boy has gone to rest
Mama clutch her breast
All creatures great and small
Graze on blood-red soil
And grass that grows on city streets
Its been a quiet town
Since the juice went down
Now somethings washed up on the beach
A man alive
After some thousands of years
Fewer than the smallest imaginable intake of breath
The wisest guys in the evolution of humanity became extinct
Mother Nature loves a vacuum
And so, the Earth was cleansed
In no time at all
All creatures great and small
Graze on blood-red soil
And grass that grows on city streets
Its been a quiet town
Until the word got round
That something washed up on the beach
A man alive
A man alone
Washed up on the beach
Just a man
Whoosh... |
April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade
As it slowly comes away
Still fall, the April rain
And the valleys filled with pain
And you cant tell if I cry
As I look up to the
Grey sky, where it should be blue
Grey sky, where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so?
Ill cry, say that I dont know
Maybe once in a while
Ill forget and Ill smile
But then the feeling comes again
Of an April without end
Of an April lonely as they come
In the dark of my mind
I can see all too fine
But there is nothing to be done
When I just cant feel the sun
And the springtimes the season of the night
Grey sky, where it should be blue
Grey sky, where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so?
Ill cry, say that I dont know
I dont know |
Somebody, somebody
Come to my side
Im tired, Im crying
Im sick inside
My woman, that woman
Just wasnt right
Help me, now
Please, my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never, never before
So funny, so funny
Just like a show
One name, two people
All in a row
Somebody, somebody
Someone must go
Help me, now
Please, my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never, never before
I was hurt when I was younger
By a woman who was cold
She took my name, she took my body
And she threw away my soul
I cant hide
I cant hide
My misery
I know my sorrow wont set me free
She did it
Just see
She did it to me
Help me, now
Please, my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never, never before |
When the sun goes to bed
Thats the time you raise your head
Thats your lot in life, Lalena
Cant blame ya
Lalena
Arty-tart, la-de-da
Can your part get much sadder?
Thats your lot in life, Lalena
Cant blame ya
Lalena
Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
Thats your lot in life, Lalena
Cant blame ya
Lalena
When the sun goes to bed
Thats the time you raise your head
Thats your lot in life, Lalena
I cant blame ya
Lalena
Arty-tart, oh so la-de-da
Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder?
Thats your lot in life, Lalena
I cant blame ya
No, no, no, Lalena
Oh, Lalena |
Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane
Never to be seen again
Saying farewell to daylight
From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw
Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave
What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave
Ah, like a good little slave
Sucking my milk from the venomous tit of the state
Thats clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape
Ah, I surrender to fate
No pity, no pity
Dont want no pity for me in this filthy cell
Wow, Ill see you in Hell
See you in Hell
Frozen in time, Im a specimen pinned to my throne
With an army of butterflies pilloried, placid and prone
Ah, we are never alone
No pity, no pity
Dont want no pity for me in this filthy cell
Ill see you in hell
After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions
Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarceration
Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation
I was justified |
Everybody shouting, working up a sweat
Stepping over lines, you know what happen next
More trouble than anyone can use
Its a predetermined thing, you lose your right to choose
No way to turn it around
You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down
Once you press the button man its coming to a head
Pretty soon, babe, youll be a long time dead
Little brother, Im telling you now
Your pride can take a hit
Little brother, take a deep breath
Cool off, man, forget about it!
Oh, oh, oh
Drop the weapon
Kick it away
Drop your gun
Look the other way
Drop the weapon
Live another day
Drop your blade
Listen to what I say
Who youre trying to impress? You making a bid
To be a big shot brother, but youre just a small kid
Now your reputation got a minor stain
Itll be washed away by tomorrows rain
Little brother, Im telling you now
Your pride can take a hit
Little brother, take a deep breath
Cool off, man, forget about it!
Mmh, mmh, mmh
Drop the weapon
Kick it away
Drop your gun
Look the other way
Drop the weapon
Live another day
Drop your blade
Listen to what I say
No sound of silence
Just streets of violence
Were in overload
Wrong side of the road
Oh, San Francisco
Where the Hell did you go?
We have enough of that peace and love
Drop the weapon
Kick it away
Drop your gun
Look the other way
Drop the weapon
Live another day
Drop your blade
Listen to what I say
No sound of silence
Just streets of violence
Were in overload
Wrong side of the road
Oh, San Francisco
Where the Hell did you go?
We have enough of that peace and love
Come and hold my hand
Then we can all stand
And say a prayer to someone out there
Anyone out there |
Alarm bells ringing clear
Break the calm before the fall
Bad news travels at the speed of flight
Good news not at all
And here we are again
Playing endless games of war
Birds of prey
Without a word of warning
We dive in to attack
Vengeful and self-righteous
We turn the blue sky black
And a wretched few escape
Theyll be forever looking back
At our sacrifice
And the golden sun is rising
At the dawn of a beautiful day
In the name of all thats holy
In the name of history
In the face of life and nature
We are driven by belief
Our faith a crumbling fortress
Once perfect and sublime
Will fail again and rise again
Until the death
Until the death of time |
Ooh, Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming
Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan
He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny
Ah, suddenly they had a band
Hey Johnnys Band
He sure knew how to work up a crowd
The sound that they made put the rest in the shade
And the word soon got around
They played every dance hall in the city
Wrote themselves a cool forty-five
With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
Oh man it was good to be alive
Hail Johnnys Band
Hear them on the radio
Smash after smash now theyre rolling in the cash
Whatever they touch turns to gold
Poor old Benny went down with the hard stuff
And Pete joined a cult in LA
Johnny and Bill started going downhill
And the crowds began melting away
Yeah, but hey, its Johnnys Band
Playing Saturday nights at The Crown
The beards may be long and the moneys long gone
Its a wonder that theyre still around
But hey, its Johnnys Band
Playing all those wonderful songs
Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound
And here we are singing along |
Really hate the running
Really hate the game
Looking at them all
I wanna be unborn again
Their suit is getting tighter
Although theyre getting thin
The flies are crawling on their face
And trying to get in
People say that were to blame, I say
No no no, its just the game
Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no
Heads are getting stronger bodies getting weak
Looking at them all it feels good to be a freak
Their hands are getting closer theyre reaching out so far
The greenies gonna get them make them serve stars
Tell them how it is and they say
No no no we know it all
We know it all
Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no
The washings getting dirty the air is getting thin
Its all in such a mess that no one knows where to begin
They talk about creating but all they do is kill
They say were gonna mend it but they never will
Poison in the rain but they say
No no no we aint to blame
It aint us
Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no |
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 around the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread
Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
You put your arms around me
Like a circle around the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday wheels are turning
And the cry still returning |
Im crying Im dying
I can see whats wrong with me
Its in my head
I can see whats going to be
As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood
I am of the dead
I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still
There can be bad blood in all I can see
Its in my brain
You dont know the pain I feel
As I must live again
Rocks and stones cant bruise my soul but
Tears will leave a stain
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill
I got my own way to go and now I want
To take your minds
I believe if you could see
The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be
A better kind
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still |
Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that dont appeal to you
See the mess your making cant you see your faking
Going to make it hard for you, youre going to--into the fire
Turn on to the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knocking when youre finger popping
Going to make it hard for you, youre going into the fire
Stop your bleeding mind before its over and done
Listen very closely to the message Ive sung |
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didnt want to know
She wouldnt see the show
What a fright
I couldnt do it right
Oh what a night
Mystic Demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldnt take so much
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
In my mind
I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English fool
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldnt even speak
Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more
Now Im free
And I can see
And I can see
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Now Im free
And I can see
And I am me
Please stay away |
No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
Put the evil in my mind
Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I listened to the mule
How can I change when my mind is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule |
I got more than I asked for
There isnt nothing I need
I took all till I had more
Im always taking the lead
Old man shaking dice down on the street
Tryn to make a living somehow
But Im really sure about getting things sorted out
And Im getting ready right now
You cant hold me
I have told you
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Ive been called by many names
And all of them are bad
I can take it all the same
Its all Ive ever had
Ive got something that you cant get
But one thing you can see
Getting there isnt easy
But it sure was hard for me
Every time I take a look
Theres someone close behind
They never used to make a pass
The things that crossed their minds
Now they tell me that its all right
And they want to be my friend
Theyre riding on my back
When is it going to end?
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Might just take your life
Got more than I asked for
Got more than I need |
You can bury me up to my knees in shit, yeah
Or anything else, I dont mind one bit
You think Im gonna drown but youre wrong
Cause man, I got my hip boots on
Get your ass in the water and swim like me
Yeah, its the only way youre going free
If you blink an eye Im down the road and gone
Its plain to see that I dont belong
I got my hip boots on
And its so cool
Its beautiful
Those rusty chains cant tie me down
Cause man, I got my hip boots on
I never give it up
Tear it up, yeah
Rip it up
I cant get enough
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, hey
Before that shit starts going down
When I hear the dogs I go to ground
And thats me high steppin through the swamp
Yeah, thats why I got these hip boots on
I got my hip boots on
And its so cool
Its beautiful
And its so cool |
I dont mind just what you say
I never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway
I dont care what you do
Just so long as it aint me and you
Sly, sly, sly like a demons eye
Everythings good, I said, everythings fine
You dont know, dont know its the end of your time
How does it feel to be turned away?
Ive known it, baby, almost every day
Sly, sly, sly like a demons eye
I dont need you anymore
I dont want you, baby, hanging round my door
You slip and slide round my brain
You think youre so clever, yeah, but you know youre insane
Sly, sly, sly like a demons eye
I dont mind just what you say
I never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway
Everythings good, I said, everythings fine
You dont know, dont know its the end of your time
Sly, sly, sly like a demons eye |
The day is gone
When the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers
Will be blown away
Lying in the corner
A pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall
Gold and silver for the blues
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
Someone is waiting
Behind an unlocked door
Grey circles overhead
Empties on the floor
The cracks in the walls
Have grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on
Afraid to meet the dawn
One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show |
Break my back with hard loving
Take my hand and keep moving
Dont slow down were nearly there now
Oh can you stand the pain
Im a hard loving man
Whats your name? Its alright now
Trick or treat were uptight now
Want to feel you I want to hear you
Oh here we go again
Come back here its not over
Cant you see theres still time girl
I can last make if fast now
Oh gotta catch a train |
Hot summer night, the working girls were on their way back home
It was getting late so I tagged along, couldnt let them walk alone
I followed them up some greasy steps to a rooftop in the sky
No walls around, just a sea of stars, my throat was getting dry
Everyone could feel the heat thats why we all disrobed
Our clothes and inhibitions went off flying cross the globe
Dancing crazy, getting loose and closer to the edge
I could feel my blood was up and it was pounding in my head
So there I was, just me and the girls
Under the moonlight on top of the world
Oh yeah, on top of the world
So there I was, just me and the girls
Under the moonlight on top of the world
As things were dying down we retreated from the precipice
I lay beside the most beautiful girl in the universe
Her name was Venus in Heaven
She fed me rice and offered me wine
I accepted ambrosia and nectar
From an amber goddess
I collapsed between the thighs of Morpheus
Next thing I felt was a sharp pain at sunrise
My mouth was open and full of rice
As I managed to prize open one of my eyes
I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize
And there lay Venus still sprawled out and naked for sure
But not quite what she was the night before
I made my excuses and left through the door
Stepped into space at the twentieth floor
And thats why I dont like heights no more |
Tell me gypsy can you see me
In your crystal ball
Im asking you what can I do
My backs against the wall
And I cant hold on much longer
So Ive come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end
I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly
So Im here again my friend
For now my life is at an end |
On the lonely road Im travelling on
The road that leads nowhere
As the ground and the sky, wondering why
Im alone, so alone
I kept rolling on from tears for years
Sun is my only friend
With the wind on the bend and my pack in my hand
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
And I feel like going home
With my money spent, my clothes all torn
My spirit cant grow
I aint got no friend where the power ends
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
Im alone, so alone
And I feel like going home |
Baby, wont you be my friend?
And love me right until the end?
I dont care what shape youre in
What youve done or where youve been
Yeah
Ive got nothing to hide from you
We can sit and talk about the past
We dont need to tell the truth
To tell the truth now
Were all the same in the dark
Baby, wont you be my friend?
And love me right until the end?
I guess well never know
What happened down in Mexico
Like what I see, I like the view
We can stay as long as it lasts
Theres no difference tween me and you
To tell the truth now
Were all the same in the dark
I dont need to see a doctor, no
I know exactly who I am
Im just like you
Baby, wont you be my friend?
And love me right until the end?
You know that fashion come and fashion go
Melting like the summer snow
I dont know what you see in me
Some would say that were miles apart
But when everything is said and done
And the lights go down
Were all the same, were all the same in the dark |
You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You took off your hair
You pulled out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
Youd better do something for your own sake
Yes its a shame
Ah you know youre a living wreck
You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I knew that you
Would bring me down
Because everyone calls you big G |
Yeah
Ooh, what a night it was
The night I fell apart
I begged a lover not to go away
But she went and broke my heart
I found myself in a Vegas bar
With a whole new set of friends
Seen through the bottom of an empty glass
Like looking through a fisheye lens
Oh, one night in Vegas
It was a morning of revenge
For what I did the night before
Which accompanied me to the following day
To even up the score
In a stone cold sober mood
The next afternoon at ten
I found my tongue back in my mouth
I told myself not to drink again
Ah, one night in Vegas, ha ha
Yeah, I was three sheets to the wind
The three shots did me in
Three angels there above me
As I was lying on the floor
I knew I should have run for the hills
But I still wanted more
I dont remember the chapel
But I woke up with a wife
I looked at her, she looked at me
And now were hooked for life
How strange the situation
Its now been thirty years
Since I met that girl in Vegas
Would you believe it?
And shes still here
Oh, one night in Vegas, oh yeah
I gotta tell you, oh, one night in Vegas
Hey, one night in Vegas
Oh yeah |
When the night wind softly blows
Through my open window
Then I start to remember
The girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows
Sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though youd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me
A numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart was madly beating
My crazy thoughts are worrying
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though youd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
Even though youd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow |
John San, what you can
La la Janette, dance in sand
Whats the mystery, my son?
Gypsy Dan Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
Ha ha ha ha, history, my son
Murder and rape with your power
The tenth revolution in far away days
Its come to this
A gypsys kiss
All your powers gonna fade in the haze
Ya who Jumme gae bile ya heed
Senorita said
Ill drag yer lungs out through yer nose
Space truckers, free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes
They got a gun at your head
But you aint necessarily playing their game
They cant resist
A gypsys kiss
All thats needed to drive them insane
John Wayne, the Alamo
Crazy Horse, Geronimo
Ill smoke a piece with you
Mind, body, heart and soul
We got rock and roll
And theres nothing they can do
Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish?
A gypsys kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud |
Feels like the end
When youre closer to losing your dreams
Than losing a friend
Flying blind
Im shooting into the dark
Who will I find
Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime
I swear Ill tear down every wall
Love conquers all
On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun
Soon Ill be gone
Words cant say
How the memories of feelings of love
They linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know its worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all
Somewhere theres a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal
Well youre not alone
Thats just how I feel
Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And if love conquers all
This one will last forever |
Been so many words so much to say
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay
Some live in fear some do not
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot
Oh dont talk to me of love
Its obvious its not enough
Annihilation kill them all
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on
Was it love or hate that got here first
Hates a habit its hard to shake the curse
Kill to live and live to die
Human nature you let the strong survive
]2x]
Annihilation kill them all
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on |
You fool no one, waiting to see if Im gone
So hard to see, you are taking your chances with me
If I find you with some other man, you know what Im going to do
Better run if you see me coming, ah
Soon you will fall, making mistakes like before
When you tell me lies, I can see by the look in your eyes
If you think youre going to take me for granted
Chasing round with all you see, going to make you live to regret it, ah!
You fool no one, waiting to see if Im gone
So clear to see, youve had all your chances with me
You thought that you could take me for granted
But I couldnt take it no more, better run when you see me coming, ah |
It doesnt matter if Im right or wrong
It really doesnt mean a thing
It doesnt matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
Because Im the thorn in every little girls rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need
Im a real smooth dancer, Im fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero...King of Dreams
Dont make a difference what you got
It doesnt matter what you lose
Dont make a difference if you like it or not
Baby Im going to change your attitude
Because all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now cant you see it in my eyes
Ill crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
Youll never see through my disguise
Im a real smooth dancer, Im fantasy man
Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero... King of Dreams
All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend
Cant you feel the power, surrender in my arms
Beyond the witching hour were travelling on and on |
Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun
But I cant tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies
Ive been on my own so long
Wont you lend me your hand
Ive been picking up my bones too long
Wont you understand
Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no mans land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didnt really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me
Ive been on my own so long
Wont you lend me a hand
Ive been out in the cold too long
Wont you understand
Ive been on the road so long
Wont you lend me your hand
Ive been out in the cold too long
Wont you understand
Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying whos to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enough sand to see
I am a holy man
So dont you bother me
Ive been on my own so long
Wont you lend me your hand
Ive been picking up my bones too long
Wont you understand
Ive been on my own so long
Wont you lend me your hand
Ive been out in the cold too long
Wont you understand? |
Well Im out of work, out of hope
I got mouths to feed and Im stony broke
The rums all gone and I could sure use a smoke
I cant help thinking how it used to be
Everybody danced till a quarter to three
Living on the wild side, getting our kicks
Howd I ever end up in a place like this?
Oh, get me outta here
Somebody get me outta here
Three blind bastards parked on a bench
One said to the other, hey whos your friend?
Thats how it started way back when
A shit-load of ways to communicate
One hates love, another loves hate
And now youre gonna tell me theres no end in sight
And next thing you know were getting ready to fight
Oh yeah, get me outta here
Get me outta here
I got to tell you that Im feeling rough
Been good to know you but Ive had enough
You say pull yourself together and get a grip
You can stick it up your jacksie cause Im jumping ship
Oh yeah, get me out of here
Thats it away, oh yeah
Outta here
Adiós, muchachos
Au revoir
Outta here
Auf wiedersehen, my darling
Get me outta here
See you, suckers |
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summers daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew you were needed
Till I found myself standing here alone
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, Ive my reasons
It started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summers daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winters begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind |
Who am I to say things may not all be what they seem?
And how can I disturb the facts of life?
And who am I to speak about the fabric of a dream?
And whos to say that dreams cannot be right?
Its the power of the moon
The power
Who am I to talk about the lunacy at hand?
Burnishing the madness in my head
And who am I to mention that before it all began
Everything I heard was never said at all?
Its the power of the moon
The power
Ah, its a green balloon that travels so benign
On a path that goes along the shoreline
Ah, its a green balloon that travels so benign
Its the only thing thats keeping me in line
Oh, the tides will rise and then they fall on time
And everything on earth begins to rhyme |
Mary Long is a hypocrite
She does all the things that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell good
And then she draws titties on the khazy wall
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought the show was funny
When the nation knew youd had children
It came as such a surprise
We really didnt know youd had it in you
How you did it we can only surmise
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
Mary Long, youre not alone
But youre a long way behind our times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more honest than your clean-up mind
What Im saying, Mary Long is
When you can spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny Lord
Dig your self a hole and jump in it
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ? |
Take a look at these dirty hands
Take a look at this face, these blazing eyes
Do you see me as a broken man? Oh yeah
Tell me are you really that blind?
You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say Ive got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?
You got me locked in a paper cage
You think Im chained up but Im just tied down
Step aside, get it out of my way
I wont hurt you, I had enough being pushed around, oh yeah
You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say Ive got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?
Dont want a number, I got a name
Take a look at my face
You talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change, oh yeah
You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say Ive got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?
Dont want a number, I got a name
Take a look at my face
You talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change |
I dont care if my ladys gone
As long as you give me just what I want
Ive been losing my direction
Got to find a new connection
You have wasted the love I tasted
Now Im really getting hungry more and more
Been a long time, had a bad sign
Tell me what am I fighting for?
Let me know you feel it
You know I really need it
Keep on pushing for more
Lay down, stay down
I got something to find
Theres one thing I really need
Im going to tell you right now
Lay down, stay down
Looking for trouble, I guess thats right
When I was young I was taught to fight
Its been long gone since I had known
Now Im heading for some more |
If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That isnt funny
Now if I see
Something I cant buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who hasnt got a dime
I cant use her no
If she has got no cash money
Ive got to refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lot of will
So she help me, baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money
Ive got to have money
I need loving to give me a living
So dont ask me I dont need forgiving
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I wont stand the loss
I need a woman
With a whole lot of will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money
I want my money
Before I say my prayers
I count my money
When I wake up
It has to be there
My money
You see, love--it dont mean a thing
When she loves you
She cant bring, cant bring you no money
Ive got to have my money
Looking for loving
I need a living |
You stand there on your soapbox without fear
Like a chanting wild demented auctioneer
Its just a bunch of crap, ha, youre talking out your hat
And, I dont want you chewing off my ear
Im hearing what you say
Just shut your mouth and go away
You preach to the converted, its insane
Were here already swinging like a train
I can only hope that you wont ram it down my throat
Dont make me swallow it again
Alright, Im hearing what you say
No, no, just shut your mouth and go away
Your manifesto, stuffed inside your suitcase
Blah blah blah, youre never wrong
And even when youre stooping, tying up your shoelace
You keep droning on and on and on and on
Ha, I got your message loud and clear
The meaningless is ringing in my ear
Oh, what a bunch of trash you got exuding from your ass
Thats not the shit I wanna hear
No need to shout, man
Im hearing what you say
No, no, wrap it up
On your way
Woo-hoo-hoo
No, no, just shut your mouth and go away |
Chasing shadows, over my walls
With myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall
Fill the room with their creeping
Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears
Then they fade into nothing
Someones laughter out in the street
Fills the night with their loving
I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red
All Im asking some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
Im so tired, dawn never comes
I just lie in the shadows
All Im asking some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
Im so tired, dawn never comes
I just lie in the shadows
I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red |
Maybe its because Im only starting
That I think it wont take too long
Maybe its because I can see you laughing
That I think youve got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said whats he gonna turn out like
And someone else said never mind
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
As all the cats Id ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit
Of shiny white or was it cream
I shook and shivered danced and quivered
And stood on a mountain top
No one came from miles around and said
Man your music is really hot
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
My throat was tired and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they poured on the scorn
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
He said my boy well have some crazy scenes
There werent any scenes at all like he was talking about
He mustve been the king of queens
Well I could write a million songs about the things Ive done
But I could never sing them so theyd never get sung
Theres a law for the rich and one for the poor
And theres another one for singers
Its die young and live much longer
Spend your money and sit and wonder
No one came for miles around
And said man your music is really funky
I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star
Nobody knows whos real and whos faking
Everyones shouting out loud
Its only the glitter and shine that gets through
Wheres my Robin Hood outfit
Well Ive come and Ive gone before you wink an eye
No one ever cared enought to say goodbye
The moneys good and the time you have
Fun and games galore
But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
And you wonder what you did it for
No one came from miles around
And said man whos he? |
Hey Joe, where you going
With that gun in your hand
Hey Joe, now tell me where you going
With that gun in your hand
Im going to shoot my lady
Because I caught her messing
Around with another man
Yes, Im going down to shoot my lady
Because I caught her messing
Around with another man
Hey Joe, I heard you shot
Your woman down
Hey Joe, I heard you shot
Your woman down
Right down to the ground
Yes I did I shot her
You know I shot her because I caught
Her messing around town
Yes I did I shot her
I shot my woman because
She was messing around town
I gave her the gun, I shot her!
Hey Joe, tell me
Where you going to run to now?
Hey Joe, come on tell me
Where you going to run to?
Dont you worry about me
Im going way down South
Way down South
Where Im going to be free
Im going way down South
Way down South
Maybe outside Mexico Way
Im going to run, oh yeah |
Step by step
Rattle through the night
Dont look now
Theres no end in sight
Step by step
Moving on through the graveyard shift
No way out
Thats the truth bout the size of it
Inch by inch
Shuffle through the heat
Stay in time
Dont you miss a beat
Inch by inch
Stay in line, never dance alone
Stand close
Holding on to a bag of bones
Worming your way into my life
Little by little, were getting too tight
Taking me over and stealing my soul
Oh, oh, stealing my soul
Step by step
Step by step |
Kentucky Woman

Black suede, dont mean youre good for me
Black suede, just brings your mystery
I want to be inside of you
But youre black and I dont know what to do
Youre a smooth dancer
But its alright
Because Im a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try
To make me think youre magical
Baby, youre the one who can never see the sun
Because it dont shine nightly
Dont you look at me because Im going to shake free
Youd better hang on tightly
You want to rule the world, but youre acting like a girl
Whos got a false pregnancy
Youve swollen up inside with nothing but your pride
And yet you keep on dancing
Black suede, dont waste your time on me
Black suede, I sense your mockery
I tried to go along with you
But youre black and I know just what to do
I think youre crazy, your two-timing ways
They dont bother me none
Youd better do it right because one day or night
Im going to walk to freedom
You know I loved you once and I want to love again
But you dont give nothing
You can see it in my eyes so youve got to realize
Baby, I am not bluffing
Black suede, dont waste your time on me
Black suede, dont bring me misery
I tried to be inside of you
But youre black and now I know what to do
Baby, youre the one who can never see the sun
Because it dont shine nightly
Dont you look at me because Im going to shake free
Youd better hang on tightly
You know I loved you once and I want to love again
But you dont give nothing
You can see it in my eyes so youve got to realize
Baby, I am not bluffing
Baby, you can rocknroll
But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer |
In ages past when spells were cast
In a time of men in steel
When a man was taught no special thing
It was all done by feel
So listen, so learn, so read on
You got to turn the page
Read the Book of Taliesyn
Hear the song of lovely Joan
Her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the King
Among children and the peers
So listen, so learn, so read on
You got to turn the page
Read the Book of Taliesyn
Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn
On the foaming beach of the ocean
In the day of trouble
I shall be of more service to thee
Than three hundred salmon
The hare he bounds across the page
Past castles white and fair
Past dreaming chessmen on their boards
With a fools mate as a snare
So listen, so learn, so read on
You got to turn the page
Read the Book of Taliesyn
Three times I have been born
I know this from meditation
The bird he flies the distance
From pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes
To the waters of the Styx
So listen, so learn, so read on
You got to turn the page
Read the Book of Taliesyn
Dont take the pictures lightly
Listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling
Experience is found
So listen, so learn, so read on
You got to turn the page
Read the Book of Taliesyn
All the sciences of the world
Are collected in my breast
For I know what has been, what is now
And what hereafter will occur |
Im flying through the night
To the rhythm of the street
I dont know what happen, baby
But my blood rise every time we meet
I come alive
I get the feeling
Everything will be alright
Lights are pure magenta
Theres something going down
I dont know what happen, babe
Im in the right place, my feet dont touch the ground
To my surprise
Im all alone
Dancing in my sleep
Oh yeah, dancing in my sleep
Dont you love my fancy footwork
I aint no Fred Astaire
I can tap into your life, babe
I can take you anywhere
I come alive
Oh, yes I do
I get the feeling, ah-ha-ah
I come alive, oh-woo-ooh-ooh
When I get the feeling, Im dancing in my sleep
Dancing in my sleep
Im dancing in my sleep
Im dancing in my sleep |
Mama plays a queen
On the hill built on a dream
While the children play in the field
Papa smokes the pipe
Of a sweet and better life
But how strong is the shield?
Can peace be found
On the carpet above ground
Where sky is forever blue
So let it pass baby now
The slow and riding cloud
Which may take me from you
Many things a man can lose
His self, his rights, his views
But never his heart or his love
So take this hand of mine
And climb baby, climb
To the hill up above
Now you can play a queen
On the hill built on a dream
While our children play in the field
I can smoke the pipe
Of a sweet and better life
And trust in the strength of the shield
So trust in you love, and Lucy of above
And let light pass like a wheel
Dont take the chance of lifes hectic dance
Kiss the strength of the shield
The seeker will be found
By the looker on the ground
And to his wish he will yield
Fate will have its word, of course
And time will change its course
And hold the strength of the shield |
We goin out tomorrow, gonna do it right
Celebrate the fact that were still alive
In that case, we better make it tonight
Ill drink for us all and you can drive
My mojo working and I paid my dues
Im gonna break out my dancing shoes
Im gonna do what I do best
Im gonna spend my money till theres nothing left
So bad, I been so bad, I been so bad
What the what happened to you last night?
Every bar in London had an old joanna
And cats who could play rock and roll piano
No-one cared a few teeth gone missing
Everybody got up to sing
Five string guitars, and old skin drums
On a river boat shuffle, bunch a-drunken bums
No way of knowing when the temperature dropped
The moment was hot, there was no time to stop
So bad, we were so bad, we been so bad
What the what happened to you last night?
Long tall Sally and short fat Dave
Arms and legs going every-ways
They didnt care about shape or size
The fever of love was in their eyes
Called every bad name under the sun
They did the same to us, we was just having fun
He went up and she went down
It didnt really matter, they just went to town
So bad, they were so bad, they been so bad
What the what happened to you last night?
I was so bad, I been so bad, I been so bad
What the what happened to you last night? |
You cant get me down
I got the Things are looking up blues
I know it happens
But it never sticks to my shoes
Its been a long time coming
I never thought it would last
I think about the future
Who knows what might have happened in the past
Nothing is real
But it feels pretty good all the same
I know you from somewhere
But I cant remember your name
I dont need much space
But you dont have to step on my toes
I was looking over there
And all the time it was under my nose
Yeah, I should have known
Which way the wind was blowin
I was facing the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
Never looking the right way
Always going the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Never looking the right way
Always going the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
You can reel me in slowly and surely
But theres a catch to this deal
Its not over yet
I get one more spin of the wheel
I promised myself
I would not get trashed again
But the way Im feeling right now
That promise is going down the drain, yeah
I, I should have known
You were coming and I was gone
I was facing the wrong way
Always taking the long way round |
Theres a black hill, we had to climb
Everything I need but nothings mine
Satans world, how bout a kill
Why didnt Rosemary ever take the pill?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man wont do it but the devil will
Im losing time and my mind
Why cant I have whats naturally mine?
I got life and the thing that goes with it
If theres something else, where can i get it?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man wont do it but the devil will
Well heres my views, I always lose
Things I want to do are yesterdays news
Say lifes a ball, Ive had it all
All out there in another dance hall
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man wont do it but the devil will
Take me as I am, excuse for a man
Wherever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didnt Rosemary ever take the pill?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man wont do it but the devil will
Oh, why wont Rosemary ever take the pill?
Oh no...
Why didnt Rosemary ever take the pill the first day?
Oh, lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
I said, Why didnt Rosemary ever take the pill? |
Ive got a Mandrake Root
Its some thunder in my brain
I feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up
Ive got the Mandrake Root
Babys just the same
She still feels a quiver
Shes still got the flame
She slows down, slows right down
Ive got the power |
Get out of my way
Im getting tired of you
There aint no chance
Doing what you want to do
Ive been down down down down down
Got to get my feet back on the ground
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I am not satisfied
Dealing with second hand goods
You wanted something for nothing
Taking everything you could
You been around--I got the news
But you arent waiting around for me to lose
Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love
Two timing woman
Trying to take me for a ride
Youre a hard lover honey
But you sure dont keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There aint no woman going to make a fool out of me |
Well Im a rock and roll preacher
Not a Sunday school teacher
You arent no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff
Youre a snow queen looking mean
Trying to make it on the scene
I guess you love it
Because I always see you hanging around
Youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
A magnet brought you to me
Told me your name was Jo
You said you liked my music
And you really did enjoy the show
Now I want to play piano
But my fingers dont agree
Theyre busy on you woman
And I feel your fingers working on me
Its time to leave you honey
I know youre feeling sad
Dont you cry now baby
You know that only makes me mad
I see you everywhere I go
Every town and place
I cant recall your name
But I know I wont forget your sweet face
Youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
Because youre a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me |
I told you once about a place that I had accidentally stumbled upon
Can you imagine how it feels to find somewhere that you can do no wrong
But its alright youre safe in my hands
Ill meet you in the sky tonight and we will trace some undiscovered stars
Well go beyond the universe beyond all understanding, hey, its not that far
But if s alright I feel safe in your hands
I cant stand living this way
Getting by from day to day
Im drinking from your loving cup
I told you things were looking up
Oh oh oh so good
Oh it feels so good
Were all the same but then again were all quite different in our own peculiar ways
Weve come so far and now were going through another phase
But its alright
We made it so far
As we all know if s hard to breathe when something spiritual has taken place
We dont know how we dont know why weve been transformed into a state of grace
But its alright
We walk in our sleep
Yes its alright
This is rapture of the deep |

Changes, visible changes
Sky looking so forlorn
It looks like the worlds been born
On one more rainy day
Trying to see the sunlight
My hearts crying out loud
I try to see through the clouds
On one more rainy day
One more rainy day
Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day
Sun starts shining on through
New day a day with you
Its strange what sun can do
On one more rainy day
One more rainy day
Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day |
Im so far away
From everything you know
Your name is carried on the wind
Your ice blue waters Anya
Where do they flow
Where have they been
A hidden passion
Touching a spark
Flame of revolution
Burning wild in your gypsy heart
Your gypsy heart
Anya - The spirit of freedom
Anya - Oh Anya
The light of freedom buried
Deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels
Refuse to dance alone
What do they mean
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Forbidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Your gypsy heart
Anya - The spirit of freedom
Anya - Oh Anya |
Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you?
Whats your name, can I drive you home?
Sweet woman, are you all alone?
Youre the one for me
Im gonna keep you busy as a bee, could bee, could be
Ooh, rat bat-bat-bat blue
Woo
Rat bat blue
Rat bat blue
Now, get up woman, dont be slow
Its getting late and I wanna go
No cause for acting big
Got to love, got to live
Stick around with me
Im gonna show you things you never thought youd see, you see
Ooh, rat bat-bat-bat blue
Youre so fine
Rat bat blue
Get out, you didnt understand
Im a hard loving man
No way you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie
And when you shut the door
Make sure I dont see you round here no more, no more
Ooh, rat bat-bat-bat blue
Rat bat blue
Rat bat blue
All right
Rat bat blue... |

When I was younger
So much younger than today
Never needed anybodys help in any way
But now these days are gone
Im not so self assured
Now I find Ive changed my mind
Opened up the door
Help me if you can, Im feeling down
But I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Wont you please help me, yeah
And now my life has changed
In, oh, so many ways
My independence seems
To vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
Now I know I need you like
Ive never done before
Help me if you can
Im feeling down, down
But I do appreciate you being round me
Help me get my feet
Back on the ground
Wont you please help me, my love
I need somebody
Not just anybody
I need someone
Help
Wont you please help me, my love
Help me, baby
Help me |
Nothing I can do
Maybe I wont even try
Oh, your will is determined to kill any reason of mine
I see you coming
With that look in your eye
You act like a king but you aint got a thing in your mind
Now theres nobody home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home
You talk about love and affection
Oh, if only you could
Youre full of pride, but theres nothing inside and you think youre so good
You know you got it coming to ya
All things return
You need me, its not gonna be my concern
Now theres nobody home
Your message is changing
The children have grown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home
I said that nobodys home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home
I hear you crying
Mmh, what can I say?
You get what you give, so forgive me as I turn away
Now theres nobody home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home
I said that nobodys home
A legend is dying
The seeds have been sown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobodys home |

Roll me over slowly, Ive been drinking all night
Help me, make a move, I cant stand the light
Wake me, shake me, dont slam the door
I havent been so bad, I just cant recall
Spent the night chasing up a listed old flame
Lying on the floor, I cant remember her name
I cant stay here, theres something wrong here
Whats going on here?
Went downtown, had a long way to go
How I got there, well I dont know
Found myself sitting in a West side bar
Tried to leave but I could not go far
High class woman trying to give me a line
Shouldve left early when I felt so fine
I cant stay here, theres something wrong here
Whats going on here?
When they closed up the bar
You know, they left me for dead
I cant remember a thing, I said
Must have called the police to take me away
They said, Forty days, now Ive got to pay
Spent the night chasing up a listed old flame
Lying on the floor, I cant remember my name
I cant get together while theyre messing with me
Keep on looking around, tell me where can I be?
I cant stay here, theres something wrong here
Whats going on here? |
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only grains of sand
All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
The sensation is not new to you
Its something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes its something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
To a place on its own
Somewhere all alone
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
The sensation is not new to you
Its something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes its something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
Oh its started snowing
Yes, it started snowing |
Youre sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby
Hold on--I feel Im getting ready
Hold on--I feel Im rocking steady
Hold on--Im going to make it with you woman
Hold on--You got to give me some love, give me some love
I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was going to creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps coming on strong
Although its mine now
I know it wont be for long
Theres something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
Im getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign
Hold on--Ive got to love you when I want to
Hold on--Youve got to love me when I want you to
Hold on--I am not going to let you leave me baby
Hold on--No never no more
I know the game youre playing
And I guess you think Im easily led
You think the words youre saying
Are really going through my head
Im going to take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you, baby
That really Im a man
Hold on--I know Im feeling ready
Hold on--I know Im rocking steady
Hold on--Guess Ive made it with you woman
Hold on--Ive got you giving me love
Something that you give me
Keeps me hanging on
No use me staying
Theres nothing to be done
Im going to take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you woman
That really Im a man
Hold on--I only want to take you higher
Hold on--You are the root of my desire
Hold on--Cmon baby light my fire
Hold on |
In a dark and sweaty room in sixty nine
Tables turning
Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls
And it was loud
Tuning up to madness in the back room
Candles burning
Present the stinking hippy
And throw the naked thunder to the crowd
Oh, in the hungry daze
The long and lonely highway drags along
Its going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad corruption
Somethings going wrong
The mountains getting cold and lonely
The trees are bare
We all came out to Montreux
But thats another song
Youve heard it all before
In hungry daze
Back in the hungry daze
Back in hungry daze
Back in hungry daze
Ha!
Along the mountain road to do some drinking
And now were mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls
And its so loud
Crew have lost again
Ah, they are beaten men
The winning team united
Living for the crowd
These are the hungry daze
These are
These are hungry daze
Hungry daze
Oh, oh, oh, hungry daze
Hungry daze
These are the hungry daze
Ah, hungry daze
Ooh, hungry daze
Hungry daze
Hungry daze |
Lucille, come back where you belong
Oh, Lucille, come back where you belong
I aint nothing to you, sing you such a beautiful song
I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, come back where you belong
I aint nothing to you, sing you such a beautiful song |
The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.

How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/deep-purple")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text
: a string
feature.train | validation | test |
---|---|---|
407 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/deep-purple")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
