Custard Pie

Rock down, lady, by the sea
Rock down, mama, just dream of me
Mama, love me, fool around all night long
Well, I'm made of braken gravy
I should know right from wrong

See me coming slowly on by your door
Ain't no stranger,

See me comin', Mama,
Slowly on by your door
I ain't no stranger,

Put on your night shirt and your morning gown
You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em on down
Put on your night shirt, Mama
And your morning gown
Well, you know by night
I'm surely gonna shake 'em on down
Shake it, shake it

Ooh, your Custard Pie, ain't seen the like
When you cut it, Mama, save me a slice
Your Custard Pie, I declare, ain't seen the like
I like your Custard Pie
When you cut it, Mama
Mama, please save me a slice, oh

The Rover

I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to walk it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for

There can be no denying
That the wind is shakin'em down
And the flag we're flying
Is the new flag of the land

Just join hands, we could just join hands
If we could just join... And build a planet

Converse the planet when heaven send me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rustin' rivers call

And the wind is cryin'
I'm a little bit more grown cold
My lover, she is lyin'
On the dark side of the globe

(* Repeat)

You got me rockin' when I ought to be alone
Darlin', come on, tell me, darlin', which way to go
You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me spinnin'
Won't you tell me darlin', which way to go
That's right

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
I always wonder if earthly plunder
Will leave us anything to show
And our time is flyin'
See the candle burnin' low
Is the new world risin' from the shambles of the old

If we could just join hands (Repeat)
If we could just, if we could just (Repeat)
Join hands
That's all it takes (Repeat)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Repeat) that's right (Repeat)


In My Time Of Dying

In my time of dyin', want nobody to moan
All I want them to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy.

Jesus, got to make you, should know
Jesus, gonna make you, Jesus, gonna make you my dyin' bed

Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Ooh, meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me Lord
Oh, please meet me with another pair

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy.

Jesus, gonna make out, somebody, somebody
Oh, Jesus, gonna make out, Jesus gonna make out my dyin' bed
Meet me Jesus meet me
Oh, Saint Peter, I can make amends
Won't you let me in

Oh, oh Gabriel, let me blow your horn

I only can be young once
I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong
No not once

Oh, I did somebody so good
Somebody some good, yeah
Oh, did somebody some good, yeah
I must have did somebody some good, yeah
Oh, I believe I did, I seen the smilin' faces
I know I must have left some traces

And I seen them in the streets
And I seen them in the theater
And I even felt my feet
And I never tried to be real
Oh, lord, deliver me all the wrongs I've done
Oh, you can deliver me, lord
I only wanted to have some fun

Oh, keep the angels marchin', marchin'
Keep them marchin', keep them marchin', marchin'
Oh, my Jesus (Repeat)
That's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, it's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, oh it's got to be my Jesus
Oh, gonna take me home
Come on, come on

Here they come, here they come, here they come
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Oh, it's pretty good up here, pretty good up here

Oh, oh yeah, I seen him, yeah, come on
Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin', cough

(That's gonna be a long ending. Come have a listen then.)
(Oh yes, thank you.)



Houses Of The Holy

Let me take you to the movies
Can I take you to the show?
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow?

From the Houses Of The Holy
We can watch the white doves go
From the door comes Satan's daughter
And it only goes to show
And you know

There's an angel on my shoulder
In my hand a sword of gold
Let me wander in your garden
And the seeds of love I'll sow
You know

So the world is spinning faster
Are you dizzy when you're stoned?
Let the music be your master
Will you heed the master's call?
Oh, Satan and man

Said there ain't no use in crying
'Cause it'll lonely only drive you mad
Does it hurt to hear him lyin'?
Was this the only world you had? Oh

So let me take - take you to the movies
Can I take you, baby, to the show?
Why don't you let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow? And you know - that's right



Trampled Underfoot

Grease me down, good electric
I could lay it on the road, mama, it ain't no trick

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Oh, trouble free transmission puncture to explode
Mama let me pump your gas
Mama let me do it all

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Take that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could rev all night, leave a big pile of tubes

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Automobile club covered, really built in style
Special tradition, mama, come feast your eyes

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Factory air conditioned, took me by surprise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama, brand new tires

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Groovin' on the freeway, drivin' on the road
From now on my gasoline is gonna be free of lead

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

I can't stop talkin' about
I can't stop talkin' about, oh yes, drive on

Come to me for service every hundred miles
baby, let me change your valves, fix your overdrive

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did before I got synchronized

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

Oh, baby, like suspension I just couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside you showroom door

Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout

I can't stop talkin' about love
I can't stop talkin' about love
Oh, let me let it down (Repeat)
I can't stop talkin' about

Kashmir

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I'm a traveller of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
And not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear

Ooh, baby, I been blind
Oh, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'
Oh, ooh yes, I been blind
Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this razor line
Can I find, can I find where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like sorts inside a dream
Leave the path the led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
Like Shangri-la beneath the summer moon
I will return again
As the dust that floats finds you
Will move and search Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails
Cross the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear

Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah
And my feet wear my fickle way to stay
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down
Ooh, yeah yeah, ooh, yeah yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby
Let me take you there
Come on, oh let me take you there
Let me take you there

 

DISCO 2

 

In The Light

And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinking low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road
You'll find the road

Hey, ooh, did you ever believe
That I could leave you standin' out in the cold
Hey, baby, I know how it feels
'Cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul
Oh, baby, I just want to show you what I'd give you
In case you ever been on the road
Now, listen, oh, as I was and would do for you, too
Honey, as you would do for me
I would share your load, let me share load
Ooh, let me share you load

And if you feel that you can't go on
In th light you will find the road

Hey, oh the winds of change my blow around you
But that will always be so
Oh wo, when love is pain it can devour you
If you are ever alone
I'll share your load, I will share your load
Baby, let me, oh let me, in the light
Everybody needs a light, oh yeah, oh baby
Everybody, everybody, everybody sure 'nuff they do
Light, light, light, in the light (Repeat)

Down By The Seaside

Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'

The people turned away
The people turned away

Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, no no
To pass the time of day

The people turned away
The people turned away

So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run
See how they run, see how they run
Run, run, run

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I want to tell you, some folks twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell

Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin', yeah, yeah

The people turned away
The people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again

The people turned away
The people turned away

Now they know where they're goin'


Ten Years Gone

Then as it was, then again it will be
Though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea

Like stars of fortune
Each has separate rays
On the wings of maybe
Down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes
I didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest
He got so far to go

Changes fill my time
Baby, that's all right with me
In the midst I think of you
And how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody
And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby
Did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would

Turn the eyes and I sparkle
Senses growing keen
Tasting love along the way
See your feathers preen
Kind of make you feel sometimes
Didn't hard to grow
We are eagles of one nest
The nest is in our souls

Vixen in my dreams with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin' (Repeat)
I'm never gonna leave you, I'm never gonna leave you
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone (Repeat)


Night Flight

I received a message from my love across the water
You sat laughin' as you wrote the ends in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
'Cause I know it's time to fly

Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the morning (won't you)
Meet me in the middle of the night (night night)
Oh yeah, the mornin' light is comin'
Don't it make you wanna (try to) feel all right

I just jumped a train that never stops
So now so how'll they know I never finished
Payin' for my ride
Just now someone pushed the dime into my hand
Tell me I'm the type of man
To fight the fight that I'll require

Oh yeah, come on, meet me in the morning (won't you)
Meet me in the middle of the night (night night)
Oh yeah, the mornin' light is comin'
Don't it make you wanna (try to) feel all right

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin'
Nothin' here to make me stay
Oh, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bell
And ring it loud and clear
Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell
And tell the people they got to fly away from here

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We ware in the middle of a change in destination
When the train starts, all together we will smile

Oh, come on, come on, now meet me in the morning
Won't you meet me in the middle of the night
Night, night, night
Oh yeah, everybody knows the mornin' time is comin'
Don't it make you wanna feel all right
Oh, yeah, make me feel all right, fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah, fly my baby


The Wanton Song

See you movin' in the night again
Tell me I see too much, baby
Same old thing, I'm on a plane
And the wheel rolls on
Silent moves through the flames
From the deep behind the soul
Guess my nightmares have now begun
Left me barely holdin' on

To strangers I seem a gentleman
When we know the time has come
Lose my sense and lose command
You know even rivers run
Seems like every time I fall
I think this is the one
Oh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun, another day

See all of my faces is changed
Some have a ways to come
Even my fire needs a brand new flame
And the wheel rolls on, rolls on


Boogie With Stu

Been in town, my baby
We just got to run home
Yeah, darlin', we just got to go home
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah honey
We been shakin' all night
Oh, darlin' we just got to run right
Ooh, my head, rock on, rock on

Hey baby, hey baby (Repeat)
I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock

I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop
Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock


Black Country Woman

(Shall we roll it, Jimmy? We're rolling on what, one?)
(No, one again)
(Got to get this airplane on)
(Naw, leave it, yeah)

Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
Didn't have to love me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to make me a total disgrace
Didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
Oh, that's all right, it awful doggone clear

Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean
Oh oh, baby, why you treat me mean
You didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, why'd you treat me mean
You didn't have to say you'd always be by my side
Didn't have to tell me you'd be my blushing bride
Hey, hey, baby, why you treat me mean
But that's all right, I know your sister, too

You didn't have to tell me that you love me so
You didn't have to leave me, mama, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
You didn't have to leave me like a total disgrace
You didn't have to leave me with that beer on my face
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
Oh, but that's all right, I'd be the same way, too, oh yeah

Now, my baby, you didn't have to crucify me like you did
You didn't have to tell me I was just your kid
Hey, hey, mama, what's the matter here
You didn't have to tell me you would be my own
You didn't have to tell me, baby, let me go
Hey, hey, mama, what is wrong with you
Oh, that's all right, I know your sister, too
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
What's the matter with you, mama


Sick Again

On the window of your ready little scene
I'm lookin' in your eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen
Ain't a lady in the city of lights

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want, baby
I must be the one you need, yeah

Reflections, baby, from your teenage dream
In the lobby of a hotel cafe dive
Through the circus of the L. A. queens
I passed you round, went right on by
Oh, how you play the game
Still don't know your name
You know I'm the one you want, baby
Yes I'd love to be the one you need
Oh, you got to tell me

Get this, get this
Lips like cherries on the frown of a queen
Come on, flash it right in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen
Then you giggle as you hurt inside

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same

Baby, I got to tell you I'm the one you want
And everybody knows I'm the one you need, yeah
Oh get it, come on, now (Repeat)

Hours, hours, and the moments in between
Oh baby, I could count the times
I've thought of comin' on a plane and leavin'
Baby, dry those silver eyes

Oh, do you know my name
Do I look the same

You know I'm the one you want
Yes, I'm the one you need
Oh, that's right
