I came here to wake with you at dawn. With no understanding of any wrong. To lay with you for endless nights. Trade the wreckage for the likes. Of a hazel eyed, strong willed brown haired girl.
We have a whole world of hate at the end of our hands. And not enough love to go around. All the images are burning on our walls. And the cities are burning all around us all.
Tried it my way to get it right. Always got cut down to size. I never thought enough about it. Was quick to quit and quick to shout about it. I cut my feet while I cut my teeth.
Sheets of golden velvet rain. Lubricate my naked steel again. Let the day go by far below. Million miles of sky all I know. . Aerial, aerial, get on. .
When I find myself in times of trouble. Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. . And in my hour of darkness. She is standing right in front of me.
Now the 11th hour. Is gonna' slip right through your fingers. Rise like an old prize fighter. That's been K.O.'d on the canvas. . Haven't you learned?.
I've been on tenterhooks. ending in dirty looks,. list'ning to the Muzak,. thinking 'bout this 'n' that.. She said that's that.. I don't wanna chitter-chat..
The last leaf clings to the bough. Just one leaf, that's all there is now. And my last hope live with that lonely leaf, lonely leaf. With the last leaf that clings to the bough.
Call me old fashioned. But I'm a little nervous about the future. I've got no enthusiasm. For burgers or computers. . Televisions bores me now. In a hundred different ways.
I walked from my baby's Brixton flat. Into a riot. I thought of maybe turning back. Till things were quiet. . When all the buildings to be burned. Had been burned.
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. . T'was Grace that taught.
A thousand days of yesterdays. Time since come and gone. A thousand days of yesterdays. The road goes by so long. . Tomorrow comes like wind blown clouds.
Mirror man mirror me. Mirror than mirror me. Mirror man mirror than. Mirror land farther than. Mirror day mirror way. Mirror man mirror way. Mirror man mirror me.
Whiskey and wimmen almost wrecked my life. Whiskey and wimmen almost wrecked my life. Were'nt for whiskey and wimmin, I'd have money today. . Nightlife, nightlife, nightlife.
Let's make it, let's make it, baby. Let's make it, oh, right now, oh, yeah. Let's make it, oh, baby, me and you. I don't care what the world may say. Let's make it, let's make it.
Send me your pillow, baby, that you been cryin' on. Please, send me your pillow, baby, that you been cryin' on. I have nothing left of you, baby, just your memories.
I wanna be alone with you, baby. No one but me and you. I wanna be alone with you, baby. No one but me and you. I don't want a soul, don't want a soul, baby.
Well, mama killed a chicken. Thought it was a duck. Put him on the table with his legs stickin' up. You gotta bundle up and go, yeah. You gotta bundle up and go.
Well, my mama, she didn't 'low me just to stay out all night long, oh Lord. Well, my mama didn't 'low me just to stay out all night long. I didn't care what she didn't 'low--I would boogie-woogie anyhow.
Everybody talk about it. Burning hell. Ain't no heaven, I know. Ain't no burning hell. Where I die I go. Can't nobody tell. . I am going, Deacon Jones.
