A Case Of You Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as the northern star"
And I said "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TVscreen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me
"Love is touching soul"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a cast of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed"
My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Alamo
Heard all about your fandango
Begged on my knees on your back door
Only to wake you to blues on the way
Blues on the way
Blues on the way
Embarcadero, figures you'll see me as older
Twenty-three hours til the border
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
Fast as I came
Fast as I came
The tears on my pillow, of course they're not mine
Alter that altar
Make it a play
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
Alamo
Wish I could do what God does
Heard that the stars were in order
Got yourself dealt a hand
With two queen of spades
And blues on the way
Blues on the way
Tears on my pillow
Of course they're not mine
Alter that altar
Make it a play
Somebody just
Somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances

Amazing Grace/'Til The Chicken John Newton
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound.
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relieved:
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures;
He will my sheild and portion be
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.
When I've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
I've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when I first begun.
*till the chicken:*
So some say she got green enough field
And some say she got too many strings
With petticoats out
And goin hall gown
The sweetest nylon no not where she's gone
Gonna raise his tail and wraggle his wings
Some say she got plenty of stockings
Some say she got some Divas and Kramer
Why all this spare then shaking her tail
The sweetest nylon no not where she's gone
Gonna raise his tail and wraggle his wings
Until the little chicken come home
Angie (all words and music by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger)
Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said good-bye?
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried?
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear:
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here?
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said good-bye?
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you, baby
Ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on Baby, dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive?
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

Beulah girl
You better hitch me up

Give me religion and a lobotomy

Beautiful home
Tell me when I don't need you anymore

And then I'm you
Something is coming back again

To where you're not
So..

Place to bathe his body on down
Gotta rubber boat and a crocidile
Gonna float on past your home
And say when
Just say when

Where the pillow goes

Maybe I didn't like to hear
But I still can't believe Speed Racer is dead
So then I thought I'd make some plans
But fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she was saying
And now I have been driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
So then I tried to make some plans
The fire thought she'd really rather be water instead
This ocea is wrapped around that pineapple tree
And is your place in heaven
Worth giving up these kisses
These kisses
And Piggy got a message for me
From Jesus
And I heard every word that she had said
And I know I have been driven like the snow
This is cooling
This is cooling
Faster than I can
This is cooling
Faster than I can
Yes, this is cooling
This is cooling
Daisy Dead Petals
That is her name
She's in her phone booth phase
So underneath the shade of a Peppermint tree
She can turn it out with a hero
She just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing they're around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
Daisy Dead Petals
That is her name
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid
Well these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said
These dead petals, honey, brought me here
Dancing on a dime
Hearing mother cry
Maybe she's around the corner
Got a crack in
Got a crack in some strange places
Oh my back with
Oh my back with some dirty dishes
Falling down
Falling down
All over the river
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Wish what I'm feeling could
Go on like this forever
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
And since we're down
Might as well stay
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of a Peppermint tree
She's a new friend
Not a scared love turned to
Ride into town
Knowing what they'll say
Knowing she tastes like a hamburger made
By these dead petals, honey, brought me here
She said these dead petals, honey, brought me here
Said these dead petals, honey, brought me here
Do It Again (Steely Dan)
In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street
Lets go
And you go...
Well you know she's no high climber
The you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer,
And you're sure you're at the end
The you love a little wild one,
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
You go back
You go back, Jack
You go back do it again
Wheels turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man;
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards will make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
Boy, you must put them on the table
You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheels turnin' 'round sweet boy
You go back, Jack, do it again
Yes
Wheels turnin' 'round
Wheel turnin' 'round
Beautifully
Wheel turnin' 'round
Hey kid, I've got a ride for you
They say your brain is a comic book tattoo
And you'll never be anything
"What will you do with your life"
Oh that's all you hear from noon till night
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
Where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Straight suits, they don't understand
She tried that one with the alligator boots
But the other side drew her in
Heart falling fast when she left
Even the Milky Way was dressed in black
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Cause they can't see what you're born to be
They can't see me
They can't be what they can't believe
They can't see what you see
Keep the boys spinning in their own little world
Tie 'em up so they won't say a word
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world
So afraid he'll be what they never were
Take a trip on a rocket ship baby
The sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place
And he's out of sight
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman, are you out there?
Flying Dutchman
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Cause they can't see
Are you still out there?
They can'tThey can't see
Feel me What I've found out
Cause they can't see
Are you stillThey can't see and
Out there? I just move this mountain
Poppa I know
There's a frog on my toe
Maybe I'll call him Jethro.
Maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he,
And maybe you'll come back after you're long gone.
And Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now
And Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
And now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word
Cause I still hear you telling me still
Slap them boys when they're naughty
Make them crawl, make you haughty
Make you strong little girl
You paint them toes that reddish color
And you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea
You're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
Now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit
Snd talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and
In funny little chants like an Indian Brave
You said we all grew fat when the white men came
But one day girl
You're gonna learn to make 'em crawl
Make them grow tall but have the grace
To be a lady with disgrace
You fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all
You're my poppy's baby
Here, I said
Don't even let this go
And it's
Hey to that old man.
I'm coming in the graveyard
With my little tune,
It's June
I said she's gone but I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
To sing you to sleep now
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a Merry little Christman
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a Merry little Christmans
Make the yuletide gay
Fromnow on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the year we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And, have yourself a Merry little Christmas,
Now
In my head, I found you
There and running around
And following me
But, you don't know, haunting there
But i find
That i have now
More than i ever wanted to
So maybe Thomas Jefferson
Wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said, ah
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you
There you are here in my head
And running around and calling me
Come back,
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow
And open their petals again and again
And you know that apple green ice cream can
Melt in your hands
I can't, so....
I, I held your hand at the fair
And even forgot what time it was
And even Thomas Jefferson
Wasn't born in your backyard
Like you have said, ah
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you
And me here, alone on the floor
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see.....
The bow and the belt and the girl from the south
All favorites of mine, you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles
That makes it all clear, and makes it all...
And do you know?
Hey, do you know
What this is doing to me?
Oh, here, here, here, here in my head
Home On The Range (Cherokee Edition)
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Jackson made deals
A thief down to his heels
Hello Trail of Tears
The Smokies could hide
A Cherokee bride
Her brave was shot yesterday
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
We know it's not Caroline
Your home is your home
The range may be fine
For some but not in my eyes
Home on the range
The Smokies always hide
Cherokee bride
But in their eyes we know it's not Caroline
yeah, here
America
Here
America
Who discovered your ass
The white man came
"This land is MY land
This land is your land" they say
Home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
A little dust never stopped me
Now he liked my shoes I kept them on
Sometimes I can hold my tongue
Sometimes not when you just
Skip-to-loo my darling
And you know what you're doin so don't even
You're just too used to my honey
Now
You're just too used to my honey
And I think I could leave your world
If she was the better girl
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
Cause I'm not sure what you're doing or the reasons
You're just too used to my honey
Now
You're just too used to my honey
Don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
Oh don't bother comin down
You always like your babies tight
Turn back one last time
Love to watch those cowboys ride
But cowboys know that cowgirls ride
On the Indians side
And you know what you're doing
Don't even
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great big fall
And all the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty Dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a Sony and some Camembert cheese
And she said, "Humpty baby, take me
Oooh yeah, take me to the river
Cause I like the way it runs, yeah,
Take me to the river, you know I like the way it runs, yeah"
He said, "Everything's going my way"
He said, "Maybe it's my la-lucky day"
And he said, "Anything you want I can give"
And she said, "I wanna take your picture
Just for me"
He said, "anything" she said, "Up there, baby
Get on the wall babe"
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was falling
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
She said, "I like custard in the summer, honey
Oh yeah, what it takes to be queen
Hey, what it takes to be queen
What it takes to be...oh"
When you said you'd marry me
I thought you meant you wanted to
Then I thought you'd like to,
Maybe on a Tuesday
All the dead are coming
I heard they'll be dessing in
Something kind of maggot-y
Rolling with the property
If 6 Were 9 Jimi Hendrix
If the sun
Got my own world to live through
If a 6
I've got my own world to live through
If the sun
What child is this...
Refused to shine
I don't know how
I don't mind
If the mountains
Fell in the sea
Let it be
It ain't me
Ain't gonna come near you
Turned out to be 9
I don't know how
I don't mind
If the hippies
Cut off their hair
I don't care
I don't care
Ain't gonna come near you
Refused to shine...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
What child is this...
(words and music by Chas Hodges&Dave Peacock)
Some people sing about Deutsch(e) girls
And girls from California
They might be alright for a night alright
But don't trust them I warn ya
I've been to the east and I've been out west
And I've been the world around
But I ain't seen no one anywhere near
A girl from London town
Give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
Marry a girl from London town
You know that you can trust her
She'll darn your socks
And wash your everytime your trousers won't bust 'em (?) yes
They're all good cooks
And they've got good looks
And they won't lead you down
Said I gotta find a London Girl
If I ever get to have a chance
Oh give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
Give me a London Girl every time
I want a London Girl
London Girls are the best in the world
There ain't no doubt about it
If you can't find a girl from La-London town
You're better off doin' without it
They don't create (?) when you come home late
And you're crawlin' up the passage floor
And you're crawlin' up the passage floor
They won't mock about you
When you're going out with
The geezer from the house next door
Oh give me a London Girl every time
I've got to find one
I've made up my mind
I said honey give me a London Girl babe
Every little day
Your legs turn to jelly
And I got a little smelly
But I know it's just what I want
Cause I need a London Girl, oh, every time
They've always got a pound
To buy their round
When it's their turn at the bar
Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush vally all dressed in green
Just ripe
For the picking
God I wanna get you outta here
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you
Mary, can you hear me
Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips
Butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear
Help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name
Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pin-up girl
They gotta run as the buy and sell her
If it's a myth running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What do we do when our baby screams
Fill their mouths with some magic rain
Oh Mary, can you hear me
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear
Help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay, ooh ooh
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary, can you hear me
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is
On the way
Mary, can you hear me
Mary, like Jimi said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
