Axiom - A Little Ray of Sunshine (NWS9 "Move" 1970)

Her father says she has to have a name, 
not the same as her mum's, but a name just the same, 
a little ray of sunshine has come into the world, 
a little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl. 


We'll show her the dress that she'll wear 
with the gold flowing hair that nature provided 
a little ray of sunshine has come into the world, 
a little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl. 


A little ray of sunhine - 
I want to know if you think she looks good in the pink, 
Her grandma has bought her ... our own little daughter. 


She can make you feel good, 
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile, 
only by her smile, only by her smile ... 


Have you noticed she's just like her father, I think that I'd rather 
her hair was much darker, 
a little ray of sunshine has come into the world, 
a little ray of sunshine in the shape of a girl. 


She can make you feel good, 
she can make you feel that it's all worthwhile, 
only by her smile, only by her smile, only by her smile ... 
talkin' 'bout my little ray of sunshine, 
my little ray of sunshine, 
little ray of sunshine, 
little ray, little ray, little ray, 
sweet little darlin', 
my little ray of sunshine, woa woa woa ... hmmmm ....

GRYPHON Gryphon 12 The Devil And The Farmer's Wife

There was an old man who lived near Hell's gate
What happened to him I soon will relate
The Devil he called upon him one day
"Tomorrow one of your family I must take away" ("yea" [laughter])
This put the old man in terrible fright
But good mr. Devil soon put him quite right
"It's not your eldest son I crave
But that damn scolding old bitch of a wife you have-a"
So the Devil he carried her off on his back
Just like a bold scotsman carrying his pack
The Devil he brought her close to Hell's door
"Get along in you damn scolding old whore"
She saw some young devils all hanging in chains
She ripped off her mittens and dashed out their brains [incomprehensible voices]
Some more little devils looked over the wall
"Take her back daddy she'll murder us all"
So the Devil he canted her over Hell's wall
She fell on her arse one hell of a fall
Which proves that women are worse than the men
If they go to hell they get thrown out again

GRYPHON Gryphon 09 The Astrologer

It's of a bold astrologer - in London town did dwell
At telling maidens fortunes - theres none could him excell
There was a nice young serving girl - a'living there close by
She went one day to the astrologer - all for to have a try.

"I hear that you tell fortunes sir - would you tell me mine said she
"Of course my dear without a doubt, if you'll come upstairs with me"
"To come upstairs with you kind sir - I fear I am afraid"
She spoke it with such modesty - as if she was a maid.

"To come upstairs with me my dear - you need not be afraid
Knowing it was but the other day - you with your master laid!"
Then she began to curse and swear she would her master bring
As witness for both him and her that it was no such thing.

"My pretty maid don't swear and curse you'll make the deed the worse
For the crown piece that he gave to you - you've got it in your purse"
"Oh indeed you can tell fortunes sir - you've told me mine said she
Then out she pulled the crown piece - "Good morning sir" said she.

GRYPHON Gryphon 06 The Unquiet Grave

A mais linda. A mais bonita canção do Gryphon e uma das mais belas que já ouvi.

Aproveitem.

a.h

Cold blows the wind to my true love and gently drops the rain
I only had but one true love and in greenwood she lies slain
I'll do as much for my true love as any young man may
I'll sit and mourn along her grave for a twelve-month and a day
When the twelve months and one day was past the ghost began to speak:
'Why sit thou'st here along my grave and will not let me sleep?'
'There's one thing that I want sweetheart, there's one thing that I crave
And that is a kiss from your lily white lips then I'll go from your grave'
'My lips they are as cold as clay my breath smells earthy strong
And if you kiss my cold clay lips your days they won't be long
Go fetch me water from the desert and blood from out of stone
Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast that a young man never had known'

'Twas down in Cupid's Garden where you and I would walk
The finest flower that ever I saw is withered to a stalk
The stalk is withered and dry sweetheart the flower will ne'er return
And since I lost my one true love what can I do but mourn?
'When shall we meet again sweetheart? When shall we meet again?'
'Ere the oaken leaves that fall from the trees are green and spring up again'

GRYPHON Gryphon 05 Pastime With Good Company

GRYPHON Gryphon 04 Three Jolly Butchers

It's of three jolly butchers as I've heard many say
They were going to some market town their money for to pay
They rode together for a mile or two and a little more besides
Said Johnson unto Jipson "Stop I heard a woman cry"
"Then stop I won't" said Jipson, "And stop I won't" said Ryde
"Then stop I will" said Johnson, "For I heard a woman cry"
So Johnson he alighted and viewed the place around
And saw a naked woman with her hair tied to the ground
"How came you here?" said Johnson, "How came you here?" said he
"Two highway men have robbed me that you can plainly see"
Then Johnson being a valiant man a man of courage bold
He took the coat from off his back to keep her from the cold
Then Johnson being a valiant man a man of valiant mind
He sat her up upon his horse and mounted up behind
And as they rode along the road as fast as they could ride
She put her fingers to her lips and gave three piercing cries

Out sprang ten bold highwaymen with weapons in their hands
They strode up to young Johnson and boldly bid him stand
"Stand I will" said Johnson "as long as ever I can
For I was never in all my life afraid of any man"
Then Johnson being a valiant man he made those bullets fly
Till nine of them bold highwaymen all on the ground did lie
This wicked woman standing by young Johnson did not mind
She took a knife all from his side and stabbed him from behind
This day it being a market day and people passing by
They saw this woman's dreadful deed and raised a hue and cry
Then she was down to Newgate brought bound down in irons strong
For killing the finest butcher as ever the sun shone on

GRYPHON Gryphon 03 Touch And Go

GRYPHON Gryphon 02 Sir Gavin Grimbold

High on mountains and low between the trees
Sir Gavin Grimbold rode out one day
He saddled, he bridled and booted rode he
And home came his good horse but never came he

Out came his mother dear greeting so fair
And came his bride drying her hair
Meadows lie green the corn remains unshorn
But Gavin Grimbold will never return
He saddled he bridled and gallant rode he
A plume in his helmet a sword at his knee

Down came his saddle all bloody to see
And home came his horse but never came he

OH, MIST ROLLING IN FROM THE SEA.

OH, MULL OF KINTYRE.

MULL OF KINTYRE,
OH, MIST ROLLING IN FROM THE SEA.
MY DESIRE IS ALWAYS TO BE HERE,
OH, MULL OF KINTYRE.

SMILES IN THE SUNSHINE AND TEARS IN THE RAIN,
STILL TAKES ME BACK WHERE MY MEM'RIES REMAIN.
FLICKERING EMBERS GROW HIGHER AND HIGHER

Blue Cheer - Hiway Man (US 1971)

(Norman Mayall / Gary L. Yoder / & G.R. Grelecki)

Yoder, & G.R. Grelecki)
Yes I am the Hiway Man
I played my hand and I won
Rode on down from Richmond
Join the other side
War was raging out 1865
Riding, cloak is flying
Slapping in he breeze.


Money, give me all you have
Maybe I'll take your life
Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly
Through the night.


(Hate myself, choose the road
Won't you fall this way
Captain Walter understands
Wash your feet and pray.)


Money, give me all you have
Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly through the night.


Riding down a country road
I race the silver moon
Chasin' shadows 'cross the field
Dogs coming soon
Kick my horse and wail out loud
The fog was rolling by
The dust did blow, the gold was mined
The lady, heard her cry.


Money, give me all you have
Maybe I'll save your life
Cause the Hiway Man's not sure how long to last.


Sing easy towards the sun
You know we'll find our way
(Gotta find my way)(HA HA)
I got to hide away (HA HA)
(Got to hide away)
When the lightning strikes
You know we'll find our way
(Got to find my way)
Ooooo!


Money, give me all you have
Cause the Hiway Man comes soon
Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly
Through the night.


Whooo, yeeeeeaaahh, ow, bye-bye, whoo, see you later, ooohhh,
Woooo, woooo-woooo, wooo-wooo.

Blue Cheer - Make Me Laugh (US 1970)

Why are you the only one
That makes me laugh my tattooed frown
Why are you the only one
That brings me up when I feel down
All the things you said to me
All the things that I believe
You're the one who sets me free, yeah.


Woman making me sad
Lord, woman she's treating me bad
Why does she treat me so bad
Lord, why does she make me so sad
Why does she treat me so bad when she knows
I'm the one who loves her!?


Why are you the only one
That makes me cry my feathered frown
Why I see your broken wings
Lord, I know you'll never ever fall again
Could it be that you and me
Never sang, never real, oh
What was once will never be, no.


Why does she treat me so bad
Why does she make me so sad
Why does she treat me so bad
Lord, why does she make me so sad
Why does she treat me so bad when she knows
I'm the one who loves her!?


Lady Love please smile on me
Why don't you turn your man away
You, I thought your thought left me
With my love through one more day
When I think I see your smile
Even for a little while
Then I see that all the while....


She needed me to sit and hold her knee
Needed a feather from me
Why do you make sure to see
That the joke is always, always on me, yeah
Why does she treat me so bad when she knows
I'm the one who loves her!?


Leave him a feather from me, Leave him a feather from me
Lord, why does she treat me so bad
I wanna know why does she treat me bad
Oh, why why, does she treat me so bad
Lord, why, why, why, why does she treat me so bad when she knows
I'm the one who loves her!?

Uriah Heep Look at Yourself

I see you runnin' - don't know what you're runnin' from.
Nobody's comin' - what'd you do that was so wrong?
Look back and turn back - look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
If you need assistance - or if all you need is love,
there's no point in hiding - tell me what your frieghtened of.
You've got a friend just look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
Look back and turn back - look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.

Uriah Heep - Easy Livin' Live

This is a thing I've never known before, it's called easy living.
This is a place I've never seen before, and I've been forgiven.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you.
Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind you.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.
Waiting, watching, wishing my hard life away.
Dreaming, fainting, ready for love every day
and some easy living.
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you.
Day after day on that windy road I had walked, walked behind you.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.

Sir Hedgehog

Grand Funk Railroad - Inside Looking Out 1969

I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man
I serve my time doin' the best I can
Walls and bars they surround me
But I don't want no sympathy
No baby, no baby, all I need is some tender lovin'
To keep me sane in this burning oven
And when my time is up
You'll be my reefer
Life gets worse on God's green earth
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I said now baby... baby,
Yes I'm beggin'... I'm beggin'
Makes me feel good... feel good,
Yes I feel good... ahhhhh...
Yes I feel alright... feel alright
yes I feel alright ... feel alright
Yes I feel alright... ahhhhh
Ohhhhh
Ice cold water runnin' through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I work all day making up a... a burlap bag
The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild
I feel all happy like a new born child
Now when my time is up you wait and see
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, baby, won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I need you right now mama
I need you right now baby
Right by my side honey
Oh and I love
Make me feel alright
Yes I, yes I, yes I, I, I...
You better come on up and get down with me
I'll make you feel real good
Just you wait and see
Make me feel alright
Yes now I feel alright
Yes I, yes I, yes I, I...

Black sabbath- 1-Intro Audience

The song remains the same

Quando eu era adolescente, eu meus amigos nos engalfinhávamos em longas discussões noite adentro regada por cachaça com Fanta, que era nossa droga. E, em algumas ocasiões mais inspiradas, com cachaça com guaco do Bar João na Oswaldo Aranha em Porto Alegre. O tema: quem “tinha” a melhor banda...

Deep Purple era a opinião majoritária, banda formada por virtuoses em seus instrumentos, a única, aliás, que chegou a ser mencionada no Livro do Ano da Barsa, como um grupo de qualidade. Imagine: em toda a década de 60 e 70, um dos mais profícuos períodos para a música popular, apenas esta foi contemplada com um parágrafo. Outros, Black Sabbath e, menos ainda porque “muito pop”, “tinha se vendido”, o Led Zeppelin. A minha, não agradava aos puristas do hard ou do progressivo, duas tendências dominantes, justamente porque ficava no meio, era o Rush.

Bem, de tudo isso, o tempo passou e os gostos mudaram. Vi muitos amigos migrarem para o progressivo, como Pink Floyd e, posteriormente, para o jazz, sinônimo de música para intelectuais. Um dos poucos amigos que tive, era o único que admirava música clássica ou erudita, como alguns preferem chamá-la e Sabbath. Mas, eu continuava no Rush. Em casa ouvíamos todas elas, mas em grupo as posições acirravam-se e parecia que ninguém fazia concessão ao se especializar em criticar o gosto alheio. Meu irmão caçula tinha um “estranho gosto”, pois preferia os teclados às guitarras introduzindo o som de Rick Wakeman e Yes em nosso repertório. Durante anos fui o verdadeiro roadie de sua banda carregando instrumentos para seus ensaios. Estudou música na Orquestra Sinfônica de Porto Alegre, o que o ajudou sobremaneira na elaboração de suas melodias. Sua banda inicial, a Slow tinha um misto de melodias hard, pujantes, com base elaborada e harmonias rebuscadas. Claro, em épocas de RPMs e Paralamas do Sucesso ficou a margem das rádios.

Vivíamos um período de orfandade no início dos anos 80 em que o que gostávamos era muito arcaico e a New Wave, um punk com embalagem de bom-bom estourava dos dois lados do Atlântico. Qual não foi minha surpresa ao ver o Rush incorporando o seu estilo, com clara influência do The Police em seus arranjos. A muitos soava como uma verdadeira traição, ainda mais para um grupo de amigos em que o teclado devia ser usado com muita, muita moderação. Concomitante a isto, a New Wave of British Heavy Metal estourava e grupos chegavam a nós, como Iron Maiden, Saxon e Motörhead ao que torcíamos os narizes para, pouco a pouco, relaxarem.

Neste contexto, os gostos foram se diversificando e eu que já tinha um pé no folk me aproximei cada vez mais do Jethro Tull. Este serviu como verdadeira ponte a outros estilos, reforçando o gosto por música renascentista e barroca que eu já ouvia em um velho LP que comprara usado dos briks de Porto Alegre, o Musikantiga. De lá também veio uma preciosidade do interior, em Santa Maria, um LP que hoje deveria alcançar um alto valor em leilões, o Quintal de Clorofila.

O que fica disto, uma introdução ao tema genericamente chamado de “rock”, rótulo que indica mais uma perda de sentido original que um caminho, é que não se trata de um estilo coeso, íntegro. Trata-se apenas de uma história de variações que não se prende ao seu significado original e, que os velhos estereótipos de jovens atuando como torcidas organizadas são figuras de identificação do marketing que o envolve, nada mais. A maioria dos que discutem rock, reparem, o faz pelo que envolve a música, mas não ela mesma. O que faz mesmo com que permaneça, dure, é um “movimento conservador”, por mais paradoxal que soe esta expressão. E isto é que não é devidamente explicado. O que perdura é o velho e bom dissenso e não uma ingênua e monocórdica ode ao passado, como compram os críticos incautos.

Ninguém, obviamente, é obrigado a gostar disso ou daquilo. Seria bizarro dar lições de “bom gosto” sobre um agregado de estilos tão díspares que pouco tem em comum. O que deveria se ter, isto sim, é um apuro de se diferenciar o que se fala do que realmente é. A música, quando entoada em um templo sônico qualquer, seja uma casa de show, teatro, ou estádio se torna um lócus de liberação, de despersonalização que não resume, em absoluto, o sentido individual que uma melodia possa provocar.

Se isto parece ridículo como deve parecer rabos de cavalo em quarentões é porque justamente se observa música pelo que ela não é, imagem enquanto que, na verdade, a música permanece a mesma, uma variação de sons que foge do som de fundo e chama atenção por algum significado. Qual é este depende de quem o ouve, o único detentor de critério para decodificá-la.

Banco - Moby Dick

(musica: / testo: )
Grande Moby Dick, dove saranno tutti gli amanti che hai
dolce Moby Dick, nessuno ti ha baciata mai.


Grande Moby Dick, regina madre segui le stelle che sai
non fidarti della croce del sud, la caccia non finisce mai.

E danzerai sopra una stella marina

e danzerai colpendo al cuore la luna
Chi impazzì dietro a te non tornò mai più.

La sorte corre nella tua scia colpo di coda e vola via.

E danzerai sopra una stella marina

e danzerai colpendo al cuore la luna
Moby Dick, bada a te se t'innamorerai.


E vola via colpendo al cuore la luna

Chi impazzì dietro a te, non tornò mai più.

Non fidarti della croce del sud, la caccia non finisce mai.


Dormi Moby Dick, spegni le ali e dormi sicura se vuoi
tanto i cavalieri del Santo Graal, non ti raggiungeranno mai.

E vola via sopra un vascello fantasma

e vola via verso una terra promessa
Moby Dick bada a te se t'innamorerai.


E danzerai sopra una stella marina

e danzerai colpendo al cuore la luna
chi impazzì dietro a te non tornò mai più.

Seduced--Leon Redbone

I wanna be seduced,
Let a woman talk to me suggestively;
Wanna know that she'd like me to be with her tomorrow morning
Drinkin' hot jasmine tea.
I want her to make me laugh (ha ha ha),
Make a point about touching me when she talks (uhhmm ho ho hmm),
Leaving all the jealous guys in the place to
mumble in their wine and gawk.
I know it only happens when I'm napping,
Nodding in a reverie,
That I find myself a woman that understands about seducing me.

I know it only happens when I'm napping,
Nodding in a reverie,
That I find myself a woman who understands about seducing,
I'll dream about the moon until she'll introduce herself,
I'm imagining a woman who understands seducing me.

I want to be seduced, I want a woman to take me out to dinner for two
I want to see her eyes gettin' moody,
Flirtin' with the thought of what flirtin' can lead to
I want to act real cool, have her think about gettin' little me in bed
Have a chat about Magna Charta, or Puerto Vallarta, or somethin' Gandhi said

I might demur politely, falter slightly, if she starts to fondle my knee,
But I'm relatively certain I'd compromise if I know me

I want to be seduced, I want a wom-an to talk to me suggestively
I want to hear her say she'll be with me tomorrow morning,
Drinking hot jasmine tea

I want her to make me laugh, make a point of touching me when she talks
Leaving all the jealous guys in the joint to mumble in their beer and gawk

I wanna be seduced,
I wanna a woman to take me out to dinner for two;
I'd like to see her eyes get moony
Flirting with the thought of what a little flirting outta to do.
I'd like to be real cool
Let her figure out what I really mean, instead
of havin' a chat about African genesis, psychokinesis
or something Stanislavsky said.

I might demure politely,
Or falter slightly
If she tries to fondle my knee,
But I'm relatively certain that I'd come across if I know me.

I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me
I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing
Starting from the moment that we'd been introduced
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me

VELVET UNDERGROUND - Pale blue eyes

Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me mad.
Baby, you just make me mad.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought of you as everything,
I've had but couldn't keep.
I've had but couldn't keep.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
I'd put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.
I put in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Skip a life completely.
Stuff it in a cup.
She said, Money is like us in time,
It lies, but can't stand up.
Down for you is up."
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

It was good what we did yesterday.
And I'd do it once again.
The fact that you are married,
Only proves, you're my best friend.
But it's truly, truly a sin.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Peter Gabriel - I have the touch

"I Have The Touch"

The time I like is the rush hour, cos I like the rush
The pushing of the people - I like it all so much
Such a mass of motion - do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and ... I have the touch

I'm waiting for ignition, I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
There you stand before me, all that fur and all that hair
Oh, do I dare ... I have the touch

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Shake those hands, shake those hands

Any social occasion, it's hello, how do you do
All those introductions, I never miss my cue
So before a question, so before a doubt
My hand moves out and ... I have the touch

Wanting contact
I'm wanting contact
I'm wanting contact with you
Shake those hands, shake those hands
Give me the thing I understand
Shake those hands, shake those hands

Pull my chin, stroke my hair, scratch my nose, hug my knees
Try drink, food, cigarette, tension will not ease
I tap my fingers, fold my arms, breathe in deep, cross my legs
Shrug my shoulders, stretch my back - but nothing seems
to please

I need contact
I need contact
Nothing seems to please
I need contact

Peter gabriel The rhythm of the heat

"The Rhythm Of The Heat"

Looking out the window
I see the red dust clear
High up on the red rock
Stands the shadow with the spear

The land here is strong
Strong beneath my feet
it feeds on the blood
it feeds on the heat

The rhythm is below me
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat

Drawn across the plainland
To the place that is higher
Drawn into the circle
That dances round the fire
We spit into out hands
And breathe across the palms
Raising them up high
Help open to the sun

Self-conscious, uncertain
I'm showered with the dust
The spirit enter into me
And I submit to trust

Smash the radio
No outside voices here
Smash the watch
Cannot tear the day to shreds
Smash the camera
Cannot steal away the spirits
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

San Jacinto by Peter Gabriel

"San Jacinto"

Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - rub on skin
Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun
Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life

Medicine man lead me up through town - Indian ground - so far down
Cut up land - each house - a pool - kids wearing water wings - drink in cool
Follow dry river bed - watch Scout and Guides make pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack - look at mountain top - keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow

I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear
San Jacinto - I hold the line
San Jacinto - the poison bite and darkness take my sight - I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker
I hold the line - I hold the line
San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun

We will walk - on the land
We will breathe - of the air
We will drink - from the stream
We will live - hold the line

Rush - Working Man (Vault Edition)

I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin'
Yes, I'm workin' all the time

[Chorus:]
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
They call me the working man

They call me the working man
I guess that's what I am

I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin' goin' down here

[Chorus]

Well, they call me the working man
I guess that's what I am

Ian Gillan & Roger Glover Via Miami Live on TV Friday Night 1988

Gillan and Glover - Clouds And Rain

the time is always now the call is always loud
whithout a movement a word, without a sound
love comes crashing in again
brings along the clougs and rain

you've got to take a chance you haven't got a choice
somewhere in the rain you hear a distant voice

first you are a lover then you become a friend
and then you start to wonder will it ever end
i'd like to ask you just the same
without feeling any shame
did you touch the clouds and rain

i'd like to ask you just the same
without feeling any shame
did you touch the clouds and rain

Mick Taylor -genius!- Blind Willie McTell - 17-11-06 Ochten

Ian Gillan - If I Sing Softly

The touch of your skin
Alive and glistening
What are you doing to me
You've got a hold on me

The smile in your eye
Your breath and your sigh
What are you doing to me
When will you come to me

I want to be beside you
I want to be inside you
How can I wait much longer
My love is growing stronger
Will you love me
Baby will you stay with me, love me
Will you hold me and love me
I need you, we must be together
Will you stay here forever
If I sing softly to you

Your body so near
The joy and the fear
Soon we shall be as one
I want to be beside you
I want to be inside you
How can I wait much longer
My love is growing stronger
Will you love me
Baby will you stay with me, love me
Will you hold me and love me
I need you, we must be together
Will you stay here forever
If I sing softly to you

Gillan & Glover - She Took My Breath Away

alone in a crowd
talking at him but looking at her much too loud
i could not think what to say
one word in my ear from her lips
could lead me astray
she took my breath away ...

hello what's going on
unanswered questions confusing my words
which later i stumble upon
in a room painted green

her secret was out
well i know it's gonna pass
she may be no more than a sigh in the night
the rhythm of danger can't dance alone
whatever the reason it never was mine
i saw i felt my life
was going too fast, ah, at last
she took my breath away ...
she took my soul
she took my breath away ...

ian gillan- no more cane on the brazos

There ain't no more cane on the Brazos
They ground it all up in molasses
Captain don't you do me like you done your poor shine
Well they drove that poor Billy 'til he went stone blind

You want to come on the river in 1904
You could find many dead men most every road
If you going on the river in 1910
They was driving the woman like they drive the men

Why don't you rise up you dead men
Help me drive my road

Why don't you rise up you dead men
Help me drive my road

Well there's some in the building
And there's some in the yard
There's some in the graveyard
And there's some going home

Why don't you wake up you people
And lift up your heads
You may get your pardon
But you may end up dead

Rush - Something For Nothing - Live, 1978

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer
To the question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

Tom Waits - Anywhere I Lay My Head

My head is spinning round, my heart is in my shoes, yeah

I went and set the Thames on fire, oh, now I must come back down

She's laughing in her sleeve boys, I can feel it in my bones

Oh, but anywhere I'm gonna lay my head, I'm gonna call my home

Well I see that the world is upside-down

Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold

And now the clouds, well they've covered over

And the wind is blowing cold

Well I don't need anybody, because I learned, I learned to be alone

Well I said anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I lay my head, boys

Well I gonna call my home

tom waits - hang down your head(studio version)

Hush a wild violet, hush a band of gold
Hush you're in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie

Hush my love the rain now, hush my love was so true
Hush my love a train now well it takes me away from you

So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head Marie
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head Marie

Tom Waits- Starving In The Belly Of A Whale

Life is whittled
Life's a riddle
Man's a fiddle that life plays on

When the day breaks, and the earth quakes
Life's a mistake all day long
You tell me, who gives a good gooddamn
You'll never get out alive

Don't go dreaming
Don't go scheming
A man must test his mettle
In a crooked ol' world

[Chorus:]
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly of a whale
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly of a whale

Dan't take my word
Just look skyward
They that dance must pay the fiddler
Sky is darkening
Dogs are barking
But the caravan moves on

Tell me who gives a good gooddamn
You'll never get get out alive
Don't go dreaming
Don't go scheming
A man must test his mettle
In crooked ol' world
Starving in the Belly...

[Chorus]

As the crow flies
It's there the truth lies
At the bottom of the well
E-o-leven goes to heaven
Bless the dead here as the rain falls
Don't trust a bull's horn
A doberman's tooth
A runaway horse or me

Don't be greedy, don't be needy
If you live in hope you're
Dancing to a terrible tune
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly...
