[death tribble]

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you

Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

[death tribble]

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

 

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

 

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

 

Lost is how I'm feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside's too much to take
That all ends when I'm with you

 

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

 

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

 

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love

 

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light-years away

 

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'm gonna do all that I can

 

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love

 

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn 'bout the power of love

[death tribble]

Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance

 

Feeling low, gotta go, see a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke, and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought right down by her lies

 

In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky when she blows me a kiss
In a while, run a mile, I'm regretting all this

 

Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance

 

Time to go, close the show, wave the people goodbye
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye
Where's your home, what's your phone number, stop fooling 'round
Could have died, she replied, "I'm the wife of the clown"

 

Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, is it bringing you down
That you've lost your chance

 

Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, has the king lost his crown
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ! Ha ! Said the clown, is it bringing you down

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and
skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Mendel Rivers to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.

The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
on reports from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the right occasion.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so god damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally screwed
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash or Englebert Humperdink.
The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be right back
after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

[death tribble]

One month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play, huh
You know tomorrow is their future
But for me just another day
They all gather 'round me, huh
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from a memory
Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I've lied

 

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her

Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost

 

Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

 

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away

 

I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

 

As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know, hmm
I'm still a lonely man
You know it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
(Have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

 

Oh doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her (have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her (tell me have you seen her)

[death tribble]

I'm sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps
Knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread

 

I think I love you
(I think I love you)

 

This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it when you walked into my room

 

I think I love you
(I think I love you)

 

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of ?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of ?
Though it worries me to say that I've never felt this way

 

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about, hey

 

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of ?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of ?
Though it worries me to say I've never felt this way

 

Believe me you really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say, Hey, go away, I will
But I think better still I better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case ? Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me ? I think I love you

 

I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)
I think I love you
(I think I love you)

[Greywind]

Winter is here again oh lord,
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

I've been trying to make it home
Got to make it before too long
I can't take this very much longer
I'm stranded in the sleet and rain
Don't think I'm ever gonna make it home again
The mornin' sun is risin'
It's kissin the day

Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't' know where I'll be tomorrow
Ooo the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

[Greywind]

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought

Live for yourself, there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, I
Came to write this song

[tkdguy]

I can tell by your face

That you're looking to find a place

To settle your mind

And reveal who you are

 

And you shouldn't be shy

For I'm not gonna try

To hurt you or heal you

Or steal your stars

 

Open your eyes, get up off your chair

There's so much to do in the sunlight

Give up your secrets and let down your hair

And sit with me here by the firelight.

 

Why think about

Who's gonna win out?

We'll make up our story

As we go along

 

There's so little time

For us to try and rhyme

And so many highways

To travel upon.

 

Open your eyes, get up off your chair

There's so much to do in the sunlight

Give up your secrets and let down your hair

And sit with me here by the firelight.

[tkdguy]

There's a certain something in the way

You looked at me and said you'd stay

That let me know that I was out of line.

But I didn't know what else to do

And like a fool I tested you

By demanding things that weren't mine.

 

And now I feel like such a fool

For making you crawl back to me

But you did it with such love

That you're standing far above

Me and all I did to you

I'm sorry now, what can I do

 

I know that never in the world

Could I have found me such a girl

Who's there to pick me up before I fall

And if in the end we should go both our separate ways

I know the lesson I've learnd here is worth it all.

 

And now I feel like such a fool

For making you crawl back to me

But you did it with such love

That you're standing far above

Me and all I did to you

I'm sorry now, what can I do

 

I know that never in the world

Could I have found me such a girl

Who's there to pick me up before I fall

And if in the end we should go both our separate ways

I know the lesson I've learnd here is worth it all.

[Greywind]

I walk along the city street,
You use to walk along with me
And every step I take recalls
How much in love we use to be
Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me ooooh

When shadows fall I pass a small café
Where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling
How it felt to kiss and hold you tight
Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me ooooh

If you should find you miss the sweet
And tender love we use to share
Just come back to the places
Where we use to go and I'll be there
Oh how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

I was born to love you
And I will never be free

When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

[death tribble]

I've never been closer
I've tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by another's hand
But it's too late to hesitate
We can't keep on living like this
Leave no track
Don't look back

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can't break away
Leave no trace
Hide your face

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

Keep us from temptation
Lead us not into temptation

Trying to find it
Temptation
You've got to get up behind it
Temptation
Put your dime in the hot slot
Temptation
But it's a million to one shot
Temptation
You think that you're right no
Temptation
You're going to fake it tonight now
Temptation
Give me a breakdown
Temptation
Because it's time for a shakedown

[death tribble]

Puerto Rico
My heart's devotion
Let it sink back in the ocean
Always the hurricanes blowing
Always the population growing

 

And the money owing
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in

 

I like to be in America
Okay by me in America
Everything free in America

For a small fee in America

Buying on credit is so nice

One look at us and they charge twice

I'll have my own washing machine

What will you have though to keep clean?

Skyscrapers bloom in America

Cadillacs zoom in America

Industry boom in America

Twelve in a room in America

Lots of new housing with more space

Lots of doors slamming in our face

I'll get a terrace apartment

Better get rid of your accent

Life can be bright in America

If you can fight in America

Life is all right in America

If you're all white in America

Here you are free and you have pride

Long as you stay on your own side

Free to be anything you choose

Free to wait tables and shine shoes

Everywhere grime in America
Organized crime in America
Terrible time in America

You forget I'm in America

I think I'll go back to San Juan

I know what boat you can get on

Everyone there will give big cheers

Everyone there will have moved here

[death tribble]

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.

[death tribble]

I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Clouds a drifting across the moon
Cats a prowling on their beat
Spring's a girl in the street at night
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

Heard a siren from the docks
Saw a train set the night on fire
Smelled the spring on the smoky wind
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

I'm going to make me a good sharp axe
Shining steel tempered in the fire
Will chop you down like an old dead tree
Dirty old town
Dirty old town

[death tribble]

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so.
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you.

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do.
I want to spend each moment of the day with you.
Look what has happened with just one kiss.
I never knew that I could be in love like this.
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you.

You stopped and smiled at me,
I asked if you cared to dance,
you fell into my open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.

Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.

You stopped and smiled at me,
I asked if you cared to dance ?."
you fell into my open arms,
I didn't stand a chance.

Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere.
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see.
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.

Jimmy's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear him cry

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below

Judy's in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole
Gotta make that cash
Won't be pretty
Won't be sweet
She's just sittin' here on her feet

Sing it
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Go
Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Sing
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

I've had better days, man
I've seen better days
I've had better ways, man
I know better ways

One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Start your life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees
With your head hung low
Big man tells you where to go
Tell 'em it's good
Tell 'em okay
Don't do a goddamn thing they say

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below
Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

I've seen better ways, man
I know better ways
I've seen better days, man
I've had better days

Gina's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close
You can hear the crying

Oh, Lord, heaven knows
We belong way down below

We belong way down below
Oh, Lord, tell us so
We belong way down below

Way down below, way down below
Way down below, way down below

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

[death tribble]

All God's children need traveling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl, now your conscience is clear

 

In the mornin' when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you and never do what you say

 

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

 

We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night, don't need hostility
Timid smile and pause to free

 

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

 

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

 

Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome, soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

 

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

 

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

 

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

A church house, gin house
A school house, outhouse
On highway number nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go t'the store on Friday
You go to church on Sundays
They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush
Said they call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

You go to the fields on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church every Sunday
They call it Nutbush, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

No whiskey for sale
You get drunk, no bail
Salt pork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it Nutbush, oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
Nutbush city

A lil old town on the Tennessee
Quiet little old community, one-horse town
You got to watch what they're puttin' down
Old Nutbush. They call it Nutbush
They call it Nutbush
Oh, Nutbush. They call it Nutbush

Help the aged,
one time they were just like you,
drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue. Help the aged,
don't just put them in a home,
can't have much fun in there all on their own.

Give a hand, if you can,
try and help them to unwind.
Give them hope & give them comfort 'cos they're running out of time.

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever. No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise ?
It's time you took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff
although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

Help the aged
'cos one day you'll be older too
- you might need someone who can
pull you through
& if you look very hard
behind the lines upon their face you may see where you are headed
and it's such a lonely place.

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever. No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise ?
It's time you took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff
although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

You can dye your hair
but it's the one thing you can't change.
Can't run away from yourself, yourself...

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever. No big deal so give us all a feel.
Funny how it all falls away.
When did you first realise ?
It's time you took an older lover baby. Teach you stuff
although he's looking rough.
Funny how it all falls away.

Funny how it all falls away.
Funny how it all falls away.
Funny how it all falls away.
So help the aged.

Take my hand, tell me what you are feeling
Understand this is just the beginning
Although I have to go, it makes me feel like crying
I don't know when I'll see you again

Darling leave a light on for me, I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me, 'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
I can't explain, I don't know just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key, just leave a light on for me

Yes I know, what I'm asking is crazy
You could go and just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life

Darling leave a light on for me, I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me, 'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe
I can't explain, I don't know just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key, just leave a light on for me

Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby that's your heart
Baby that's your heart
Baby that's your heart

Darling leave a light on for me, I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me, 'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

Darling leave a light on for me, I'll be there before you close the door
I'll be all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me, 'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

Darling leave a light on for me, I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me, 'cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

Darling leave a light on for me, I'll be there before you close the door
I'll be all the love that you need
