One song part 3

[tkleist]

every time you get a drink

and every time you go to sleep

are those dreams inside you head

is there sunlight on your bed

and every time you're driving home

way outside your safety zone

wherever you will ever be

you're never getting rid of me

 

you own me

there's nothing you can do

you own me

 

you coulda made a safer bet

but what you break is what you get

you wake up in the bed you make

I think you made a big mistake

 

you own me

there's nothing you can do

you own me

you own me

lucky you

 

you own me

there's nothing you can do

 

you clean yourself to meet

the man who isn't me

you're putting on a shirt

a shirt I'll never see

the letter's in your coat

but no one's in your head

cause you're too smart to remember

you're too smart

lucky you

lucky you

lucky you

[a-me-with-a-you]

Looking out the door i see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners

Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water

And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong

But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

 

Broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it

Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it

Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

 

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun

And much too blind to see the damage he's done

Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

 

So i'll wait for you and i'll burn

Will I ever see your sweet return

Oh will I ever learn

 

Oh lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late

 

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in

Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him

My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

 

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her

It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter

It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

 

Well maybe i'm just too young

To keep good love from going wrong

 

Oh... lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late

 

Well I feel too young to hold on

And i'm much too old to break free and run

Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage i've done

Sweet lover, you should've come over

Oh, love well i'm waiting for you

 

Lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late

[mountain bed]

Look around again

It's the same old circle

You see...it's got to be

It says right here on page 43

That you should grab ahold of it

Else you'll find

It's passed you by

 

Rainbows all around

Can you find the silver

And gold

It'll make you old

 

The river can be hot or cold

And you should dive right into it

Else you'll find

It's passed you by

 

Pass it around one more time

I think I'll have a swallow of wine

Life is fine

 

Even with the ups and downs

And you should have a sip of it

Else you'll find

It's passed you by

Frank Turner - the greatest song in the world

 

The singer outta Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope

The singer outta Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope

The singer outta Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope

The singer outta Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope

 

And he Pope said to his aide

Who the fucking hell is Slipknot?

Who the fucking hell is Slipknot?

Who the fucking hell is Slipknot?

 

In relation to be me getting outta bed?

[Dude]

Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets

Foreman is leaking; my AC squeaks

And a voice from the clock says "You're not gonna get tired"

My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire

Soak my head in the sink for a while

It chills my neck and it makes me smile

But my bones gotta move and my skin's gotta breathe

You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved

 

You slide down the stairs to the eager street

And the sun is left with slippery feet

And I want to walk around with you

And I want to walk around with you

(And be here with you)

 

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel

Home for the breeze, get a midnight meal

I'll point in the windows, you point out the parks

Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks

Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass

Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash

Walkin' around in our summertime clothes

Know where to go where our bodies go

 

And we'll breath the dawn in its morning blues

With purple yawns, you'll be sleeping soon

And I want to walk around with you

And I want to walk around with you

 

When the sun goes down we'll go out again!

 

Don't cool off

I like your warmth

 

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain

It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain

It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen

Kissing the wind through my window screen

But restless is causeless and I cannot hide

So much of my mind that it spills outside

Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street?

Our clothes might get soaked

But the buildings sleep

 

And there's no one pushing for a place

As we enter at an easy pace

And I want to walk around with you

I want to walk around with you

 

Just you, just you, just you, just you

[Dude]

Ruby, let down your golden hair

When I'm standing at the bottom of your stairs

Ruby, I can see your TV on

But the people there, they flicker and they're gone

So let down your golden hair for me tonight

Let down your golden hair for me to climb

Just like an old-time telegraph man

I came here with a simple job to do

'Cause that news coming down the wire

Says that your head's on fire

And I'm trying to get a message through to you

 

Ruby, you ain't lonely yet

With your crystal and your Russian cigarette

Ruby, haven't you heard before?

What good's the finest tower when it hasn't got a door?

So let down your golden hair for me to climb

Let down your golden hair for me tonight

Just like an old-time telegraph man

I came here with a simple job to do

'Cause that news coming down the wire

Says that your bed's on fire

And I'm trying to get a message through to you

 

Ruby

 

I'm that old-time telegraph man

And I came here with a simple job to do

'Cause that news coming down the wire

Says that your wheel's on fire

And I'm trying to get a message through to you

 

I'm that old-time telegraph man

And I came here with a simple job to do

'Cause that news coming down the wire

Says that your world's on fire

And I'm trying to get a message through to you

[Dude]

Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...

I pray you can make it better down here.

I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer

but all the people that you made in your image,

see them starving on their feet

'cause they don't get enough to eat from God,

I can't believe in you.

 

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but...

I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.

We all need a big reduction in amount of tears

and all the people that you made in your image,

see them fighting in the street

'cause they can't make opinions meet about God,

I can't believe in you.

 

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?

Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

 

Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but...

your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,

and us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,

and all the people that you made in your image

still believing that junk is true.

Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God,

I can't believe in

I don't believe in

 

I won't believe in heaven and hell.

No saints, no sinners, no devil as well.

No pearly gates, no thorny crown.

You're always letting us humans down.

The wars you bring, the babes you drown.

Those lost at sea and never found,

and it's the same the whole world 'round.

The hurt I see helps to compound

that Father, Son and Holy Ghost

is just somebody's unholy hoax,

and if you're up there you'd perceive

that my heart's here upon my sleeve.

If there's one thing I don't believe in

 

it's you...

 

Dear God.

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Bless the Drive by Truckers for reviving this Tom T. Hall gem

 

 

People starin' at me as they wheel me down the ramp toward my plane

The war is over for me I've forgotten everything except the pain

"Thank you sir and yes sir it was worth it for the old red-white-and-blue

And since I won't be walking I suppose I'll save some money buying shoes"

 

The bottle hidden underneath the blanket over my two battered legs

I can see see the stewardess make over me and ask were you afraid

I say "Why no I'm Superman and couldn't find a phone booth quite in time"

A GI gets a lotta laughs if he remembers all the funny lines

 

Mama bake a pie daddy kill a chicken

Your son is comin' home 11:35 Wednesday night

 

Mama will be crying daddy's gonna say "son did they treat you good?"

My uncle will be drunk and he'll say "boy they do some real great things with wood"

The letter that she wrote me said goodbye she couldn't wait and lots of luck

The bottle underneath the blanket feels just like an old friend to my touch

 

I know she'll come and see me but I bet she never once looks at my legs

She'll talk about the weather and the dress she wore the July 4th Parade

Lord I love her and I don't believe this bottle's gonna get her off my mind

I see here in the paper where they say the war's a waste of time

 

Mama bake a pie daddy kill a chicken

Your son is comin' home 11:35 Wednesday night

 

Your son is comin' home 11:35 Wednesday night

Your son is comin' home 11:35 Wednesday night

Time has told me

You're a rare rare find

A troubled cure

For a troubled mind.

 

And time has told me

Not to ask for more

Someday our ocean

Will find its shore.

 

So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be

What I really don't want to be

Leave the ways that are making me love

What I really don't want to love.

 

Time has told me

You came with the dawn

A soul with no footprint

A rose with no thorn.

 

Your tears they tell me

There's really no way

Of ending your troubles

With things you can say.

 

And time will tell you

To stay by my side

To keep on trying

'til there's no more to hide.

 

So leave the ways that are making you be

What you really don't want to be

Leave the ways that are making you love

What you really don't want to love.

 

Time has told me

You're a rare rare find

A troubled cure

For a troubled mind.

 

And time has told me

Not to ask for more

For some day our ocean

Will find its shore.

If It's the Beaches

The Avett Brothers

 

 

Don't say it's over

Cause that's the worst news I could hear I swear that I will

Do my best to be here just the way you like it

Even though its hard to hide

Push my feelings all aside

I will rearrange my plans and change for you

 

If I could go back

That's the first thing I would do I swear that I would

Do my best to follow through

Come up with a master plan

A homerun hit, a winning stand

A guarantee and not a promise

That I'll never let your love slip from my hands

 

If it's the beaches

If it's the beaches' sands you want

Then you will have them

If it's the mountains' bending rivers

Then you will have them

If it's the wish to run away

Then I will grant it

Take whatever what you think of

While I go gas up the truck

Pack the old love letters up

We will read them when we forget why we left here

[a-me-with-a-you]

I remember my mother's

sister's husband's brother

working in the goldmine fulltime

filling in for sunshine

 

filing into tight lines, ordinary beehives

the door screams, "I hate you, hate you hanging round my blue jeans"

 

why is there no breeze?

no currency of leaves?

no current through the water while

no feelings I can see

 

I trust no emotion

I believe in locomotion

That turn to rust as we discuss

though I must have let you down too many times

in the dirt and the dust

 

I have no idea how this happens

all my maps have been overwrote

happenstance has changed my plans so many times

my heart has been outgrown

no everybody's feeling all alone

can't tell you who I am

when everybody's feeling all alone

can't tell you who I am

 

I am looking forward

towards the shadows chasing bones

our face is stitched in sewing

our houses hemmed into homes

 

trying to be thankful

our stories fit into phones

our voices lift so easily

a gift given accidentally

when we're not sure we're not alone

[Fritz]

I'm in love with a girl

Finest girl in the world

I didn't know I could feel this way.

 

Think about her all the time

Always on my mind

I didn't know about love.

 

All that a man should do is true

I didn't know this could happen to me.

[Fritz]

I took my gal a-walkin'

It was on one Saturday night

I took my gal a-walkin'

And the moon was shining bright

I asked her if she'd marry me

And this is what she said

She said she wouldn't marry me

If the rest of the world was dead.

 

I ain't got nobody, I'm just as blue as can be

I ain't got nobody to make a big fuss over me

If I don't get somebody I'll go back to the farm

Milk the cows and chickens, I don't give a golly gosh darn.

 

I took my gal a-walkin'

It was on one Saturday night

I took my gal a-walkin'

And the moon was shining bright

I asked her if she'd kiss me

And this is what she said

She said she wouldn't kiss me

So I kissed her instead.

[Fritz]

Long ago I hit you

we were in the car

you were crazy in the back seat

it had gone too far

and I pulled the auto over

and I hit you with all my might

I knew right away it was too hard and I'd never make it right.

 

I was aiming for your buttock

but I struck your outer thigh

you had on a bathing suit

and right before our eyes

suntanned skin turned crimson

where the hand had hit

and my palm stung from hitting you so hard that I hurt it.

 

Against the law in Sweden

charges can be filed

here it's all too common

a parent hits a child.

 

On your face I saw the shock

and then I saw the pain

then I saw the look of fear

the fear I'd strike again

then I saw your anger

your defiant pride

and then I saw one tear drop

the rest you kept inside.

 

I said I was sorry and I tried to clean the slate

but with that blow I'd sewn a seed

and saw it was too late.

 

These days things are awful

between me and you

all we do is argue like

two people who are through

I blame you, your friends, your school, your mother and mtv

last night i almost hit you that blame belongs to me.

 

Long ago I hit you

we were in the car

you were crazy in the back seat

it had gone too far

and I pulled the auto over

and I hit you with all my might

I knew right away it was too hard

and I'd never make it right.

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I been in a cave

For forty days

Only a spark

To light my way

I wanna give out

I wanna give in

This is our crime

This is our sin

 

But I still believe

I still believe

Through the pain

And the grief

Through the lives

Through the storms

Through the cries

And through the wars

Oh, I still believe

 

Flat on my back

Out at sea

Hopin' these waves

Don't cover me

I'm turned and tossed

Upon the waves

When the darkness comes

I feel the grave

 

But I still believe

I still believe

Through the cold

And through heat

Through the rain

And through the tears

Through the crowds

And through the cheers

Oh, I still believe

 

I'll march this road

I'll climb this hill

Upon on my knees if I have to

I'll take my place

Up on this stage

I'll wait 'til the end of time

for you like everybody else

 

I'm out on my own

Walkin' the streets

Look at the faces

That I meet

I feel like I Like I want to go home

What do I feel

What do I know

 

But I still believe

I still believe

Through the shame

And through the grief

Through the heartache

Through the tears

Through the waiting

Through the years

 

For people like us

In places like this

We need all the hope

That we can get

Oh, I still believe

[a-me-with-a-you]

And so we meet and there are sparks,

Its gold it's new and free from sharks,

Your house is big it seems so clean,

Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet.

 

Are you lightning?

'Cause I'm waiting.

What's the timing?

I'm not playing.

 

And so I act like I'm 21,

Wide eyed and drifting unto sun,

Pay back is here my legs are numb,

I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb.

 

The sweet things,

When do they come?

Have I gone deaf?

What's the song?

Are you lightning?

'Cause I'm waiting,

This is frightening,

I'm not playing.

 

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...

 

I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,

I see you through the mirror

You sing we're not to steal.

 

The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep,

I know where you are, I dunno where you are.

Don't make the other wonder the others might sting,

Tell me what you're thinking,

Do not let me twist.

Just look at the size of you.

 

I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,

I see you with something that's funny I hear you I almost weep,

 

I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street,

But just look at the size of you.

 

I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,

I see you from my steps you're walking up my street.

 

And just look at the size of you,

The sun shine on and on...

The sun shine on and on...

[Oil Can Boyd]

I married Isis on the fifth day of May

But I could not hold on to her very long

So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away

For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong

 

I came to a high place of darkness and light

The dividing line ran through the center of town

I hitched up my pony to a post on the right

Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down

 

A man in the corner approached me for a match

I knew right away he was not ordinary

He said, “Are you lookin’ for somethin’ easy to catch?”

I said, “I got no money.” He said, “That ain’t necessary”

 

We set out that night for the cold in the North

I gave him my blanket, he gave me his word

I said, “Where are we goin’?” He said we’d be back by the fourth

I said, “That’s the best news that I’ve ever heard”

 

I was thinkin’ about turquoise, I was thinkin’ about gold

I was thinkin’ about diamonds and the world’s biggest necklace

As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold

I was thinkin’ about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless

 

How she told me that one day we would meet up again

And things would be different the next time we wed

If I only could hang on and just be her friend

I still can’t remember all the best things she said

 

We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice

He said, “There’s a body I’m tryin’ to find

If I carry it out it’ll bring a good price”

’Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind

 

The wind it was howlin’ and the snow was outrageous

We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn

When he died I was hopin’ that it wasn’t contagious

But I made up my mind that I had to go on

 

I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty

There was no jewels, no nothin’, I felt I’d been had

When I saw that my partner was just bein’ friendly

When I took up his offer I must-a been mad

 

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside

Threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover

I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied

Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her

 

She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise

Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed

I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes

I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead

 

She said, “Where ya been?” I said, “No place special”

She said, “You look different.” I said, “Well, not quite”

She said, “You been gone.” I said, “That’s only natural”

She said, “You gonna stay?” I said, “Yeah, I jes might”

 

Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child

What drives me to you is what drives me insane

I still can remember the way that you smiled

On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin’ rain

Well played...well played

[Dude]

Slip inside the eye of your mind

Don't you know you might find

A better place to play

You said that you'd never been

But all the things that you've seen

Will slowly fade away

 

So I start a revolution from my bed

'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head

Step outside the summertime's in bloom

Stand up beside the fireplace

Take that look from off your face

You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

 

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by

Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger

I heard you say

 

Take me to the place where you go

Where nobody knows, if it's night or day.

Please don't put your life in the hands

Of a Rock 'n Roll band

Who'll throw it all away

 

I'm gonna start the revolution from my bed

'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head

Step outside cos summertime's in bloom

Stand up beside the fireplace

Take that look from off your face

Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

 

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by.

My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger

I heard you say

 

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by

Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger

I heard you say

 

And So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and she's walking on by

My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger

I heard you say

 

At least not today.
