- SOMEONE’S GONNA GET THEIR HEAD KICKED IN TONIGHT
| SHE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes She can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth but she'll never believe you And she'd take what you'll give her as long as it's free Yes she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden And she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me Hmmm ... Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind She is frequently kind and she’s suddenly cool She can do what she pleases she's nobody's fool And she can't be convicted she's earned her degree And the most she will do is throw shadows at you But she's always a woman to me
The way she lied Well nobody told me about her How many people cried Well it’s too late to say you’re sorry How should I know why should I care Please don’t bother trying to find her She’s not there Well let me tell you ‘bout the way she looked The way she acted and the colour or her hair Her voice was soft and cool, her eye were clear and bright But she’s not there Well nobody told me about her What could I do Well nobody told me about her Though they all knew Well let me tell you ‘bout the way she looked The way she acted and the colour or her hair Her voice was soft and cool, her eyes were clear and bright But she’s not there But it’s too late to say you’re sorry How should I know why should I care Please don’t bother trying to find her She’s not there Well let me tell you ‘bout the way she looked The way she acted and the colour or her hair Her voice was soft and cool her eyes were clear and bright But she’s not there A SHROPSHIRE LAD The gas was on in the institute The flare was up in the gym A man was running a miller a line A lass was singing a hymn When Captain Webb the Dawley man Captain Webb from Dawley Came swimming along the old canal That carries the bricks to Lawley Swimming along swimming along Swimming along from Severn Paying a call at Dawley Bank While swimming along to Heaven The sun shone low on the railway lines And over the bricks and stacks And in at the upstairs windows Of the Dawley housing backs When we saw the ghost of Captain Webb Webb in a water sheeting Come dripping along in a bathing dress TO the Saturday evening meeting Dripping along, dripping along To the congregational hall Dripping and still he rose over the sill And he faded away in the wall There wasn’t a man in Oakengates Who hadn’t got hold of the tale And over the valley in Ironbridge And round by Coalbrookdale How Captain Webb the Dawley man Captain Webb from Dawley Rose rigid and dead from the old canal That carries the bricks to Lawley Rigid and dead, rigid and dead To the Saturday congregation Paying a call at Dawley bank On his way to his destination SINGING THE BLUES Well I never felt more like singing the blues ‘Cause I never thought That I’d ever lose your love dear Why’d you leave me this way Well I never felt more like crying all night ‘Cause everything’s wrong And nothing is right without you You got me singing the blues The moon and the stars no longer shine The dream is gone I thought was mine There’s nothing left for me to do But cry ay ay ay over you Well I never felt more like running away But why should I go ‘Cause I couldn’t stay without you You got me singing the blues Well I never felt more like singing the blues ‘Cause I never thought That I’d ever lose your love dear Why’d you leave me this way Well I never felt more like crying all night ‘Cause everything’s wrong And nothing is right without you You got me singing the blues The moon and the stars no longer shine The dream is gone I thought was mine There’s nothing left for me to do But cry ay ay ay over you Well I never felt more like running away But why should I go ‘Cause I couldn’t stay without you You got me singing the blues SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching all the ships roll in Then I'll watch them roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Heading for the 'Frisco bay I had nothing to live for Looks like nothing's gonna come my way So I 'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time Sitting here resting my bones This loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I've roamed Just to make this dock my home Yeah I 'm just sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time SIXTEEN TONS Now, some people say, a man's made out of mud, But a poor man's made out of muscles and blood. Muscle and blood, skin and bone, A mind that's weak and a back that's strong. You load sixteen tons, and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. I was born one morning in drizzling rain, Fighting and Trouble is my middle name. I was raised in the bottoms by a momma hound, I'm mean as a dog, but I'm gentle as a lamb. You load sixteen tons, and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. I was born one morning, when the sun didn't shine. I picked up my shovel, and I walked to the mine. I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, And the straw boss hollered well bless my soul You load sixteen tons, and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. If you see me coming, you better step aside. A lot of men didn't, and a lot of men died. I got a fist of iron and a fist of steel, If the right one don't get you, then the left one will You load sixteen tons, and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store.

See how the main sail’s set Call for the captain ashore let me go home Let me go home I wanna go home Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
He broke up the captain’s trunk A constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone why don’t you leave me alone Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
See how the main sail’s set Call for the captain ashore let me go home Let me go home I wanna go home Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
He threw away all my grits Then he took and ate up all of my corn Let me go home why don’t you let me go home This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on
See how the main sail’s set Call for the captain ashore let me go home Let me go home I wanna go home Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
They couldn’t rightly understand How Judy left without a word But not without a man That old routine that she had going Was like the sun so sure Which by surprise might fail to rise But always had before And I still remember what was on The jukebox as she turned The Dobro part out of Cheating Heart She never has returned She snapped her little plated latch That closed her pocket book And paid for all she had to drink And gave us boys a look And something in that little glance Sent creeps about the room No one stared or even dared To breathe or even move And I still remember what was on The jukebox as she turned The Dobro part out of Cheating Heart She never has returned Now I can’t say what the others thought But likely I can guess They’d be scared as to who and where She’d take what we’d confess Yes that good old gang up at Smokey’s bar They’ve just about all busted up With no one here to drink our tears Or fill our empty cups And I still remember what was on The jukebox as she The Dobro part out of Cheating Heart She never has returned And I still remember what was on The jukebox as she The Dobro part out of Cheating Heart She never has returned SO FAR AWAY Here I am again in this mean old town And you’re so far away from me And where are you when the sun goes down You’re so far away from me So far away from me So far I just can’t see So far away from me You’re so far away from me I’m tired of being in love and being all alone When you’re so far away from me I’m tired of making out on the telephone ‘Cause you’re so far away from me So far away from me So far I just can’t see So far away from me You’re so far away from me And I get so tired when I have to explain When you’re so far away from me See you’ve been in the sun and I’ve been in the rain And you’re so far away from me So far away from me So far I just can’t see You’re so far away from me You’re so far away from me So far away from me Oh you’re so far away from me Yeah you’re so far I just can’t see So far away from me You’re so far away from me So far away from me So far away from me You’re so far away from me SOMEONE’S GONNA GET THEIR HEAD KICKED IN TONIGHT Well the band is rocking and everybody’s feeling all right And the best of might there’s sure gonna be a fight ‘Cause somebody’s gonna get their head kicked in tonight

That I don't need no other lover Something in her style that shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how
I don't know, I don't know You stick around, now it may show I don't know, I don't know Something in the way she knows And all I have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how
I don't know, I don't know You stick around, now it may show I don't know, I don't know SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply I’d rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you on what you say or do I’m only just beginning to see the real you And sometimes when we touch the honesty’s too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides Romance with all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride But through the insecurity some tenderness survives I’m just another writer still trapped within my truths A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth And sometimes when we touch the honesty’s too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides At times I’d like to break you and drive you to your knees At times I’d like to break through and hold you endlessly And sometimes when we touch the honesty’s too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you till I die till we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Got on board a westbound seven forty seven Didn't think before deciding what to do All that talk of opportunities TV breaks and movies Rang true it sure rang true It seems it never rains in Southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California but girl don't they warn ya It pours man it pours I'm out of work I'm out of bread Out of self respect I'm outta my head I'm under loved I'm underfed I wanna go home It never rains in California but girl don't they warn ya It pours man it pours It seems it never rains in Southern California Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California but girl don't they warn ya It pours man it pours Won't you tell the folks back home I nearly made it I've had offers but don't know which ones to take Please don't tell them how you found me Don't tell them how you found me Gimme a break, gimme a break
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before It never rains in California but girl don't they warn ya It pours man it pours SPANISH HARLEM There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming It’s growing in the street Right up through the concrete But soft and sweet and dreaming There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem With eyes as black as coals That look down in my soul And start a fire there and then I lose control I have to beg your pardon I’m going to pick that rose And watch her as she grows in my garden SPENCER THE ROVER These words were composed by Spencer the rover Who travelled most parts of Great Britain and Wales He’d been much reduced which caused great confusion And that was the reason he went on the road In Yorkshire near Rotherham he went on his rambles Being weary of travelling he sat down to rest At the foot of yon mountains there runs a clear fountain With bread and cold water himself did refresh More sweeter it tasted than the gold he had wasted More sweeter than honey and gave more content But the thoughts of his baby lamenting her father Brought tears to his eyes and made him lament The night fast approaching to the woods he resorted With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make He dreamed about sighing lamenting and crying Go home to your family your rambling forsake On the fifth of November I have reason to remember When first I arrived home to my family and wife She stood so surprised to see me arrived To see such a stranger once more in their sight My children flocked round me with their pretty prattling stories With their pretty prattling stories that drive care away Like birds of a feather we’ll all flock together Like bees of one hive then contented we’ll be Now I am well placed in my cottage contented With woodbine and ivy hanging over my door As happy as them that have plenty of riches Contented I’ll stay and go rambling no more SPIRIT IN THE SKY When I die and they lay me to rest Gonna go to the place that’s the best When they lay me down to die Going up to the spirit in the sky Going up to the spirit in the sky That’s were I’m gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best Prepare yourself you know it’s a must Gotta have a friend in Jesus So you know that when you die He’s gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky Gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky That’s where I’m gonna go when I die When you die and they lay you to rest You’re gonna go to the place that’s the best Never been a sinner I never sinned I’ve got a friend in Jesus So you know that when I die He’s gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky Gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky That’s where I’m gonna go when I die When I die and they lay me to rest I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best Go to the place that’s the best
Could be a spoonful of tea Just a little bit of your passion Good enough for me I’m wild about it I’m crazy about it I’m in love about it Everybody’s talking ‘bout it Everybody’s lying ‘bout it Everybody loves it ooh Well it could be a spoonful of wine Straight from a girl’s hand Could be a spoon of your percious love Saved from another man I’m wild about it I’m crazy about it I’m in love about it Everybody’s talking ‘bout it Everybody’s lying ‘bout it Everybody loves it ooh Everybody grooving
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh and she’s buying a stairway to Heaven There’s sign on the wall but she want’s to be sure ‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook there’s a song bird who sings Sometimes all of her thoughts are misgiven Ooh and it makes me wonder, ooh and it makes me wonder There’s a feeling I get when I look to the West And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking Ooh and it makes me wonder, ooh and it makes me wonder And it’s whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stare long And the forest will echo with laughter If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow don’t be alarmed there It’s just a sprinkling for the May queen Yes there are two paths you can go back but in the long run There’s still time to change the road you’re on And it makes me wonder Your head is humming and it won’t go in case you don’t know The piper’s calling you to join him Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our souls There walks lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last Where all is one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven Yüklə 1,87 Mb.
