godzilla by blue oyster cult NY 1980

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

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 ..., let me smoke it ... smoke it ...

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 is 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 burlap bags.

The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild.

I feel unhappy 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.

All my love.

Make me feel alright ...

Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.

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, I feel alright ...

Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.

Gillan - Mr. Universe (Promo 1979) VERY RARE FOOTAGE !

Are you god are you man do you live in fear
Are we trash in your can a bubble in your beer
I just need some information
Tell me what's my destination

If we run will we fall mr. Universe
Climb your hill climb your wall mr. Universe
A million years of procreating
Now i'm here don't keep me waiting

Maybe we're going somewhere
If so we can find the end
Everyone's getting nowhere
But not me you'd better understand

Is the wall made of brick what can lay behind
Is the brick very thick is it in my mind
Universe is cruel deception
Freedom is a contradiction

Is your smile just a smile or is it just a trick
To make me walk another mile i must be so thick
I'm going where i've set my eyes on
Way behind that blue horizon.

Ian Gillan Interview December 1970

rod stewart the faces - maggie may 1971

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got som'in' to say to you.
It's late September and I really should be back at school.
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used.
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from bein, alone.
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt.

The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age.
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything.
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax,
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from bein, alone.
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without.

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand,
But you turned into a lover and
Mother, what a lover! You wore me out.
All you did was wreck my bed,
And in the morning kick me in the head.
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore.
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone.
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried.

[Short instrumental break.]

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school.
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a livin' out o' playin' pool.
Or find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helpin' hand.
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
You made a first-class fool out of me.
But I'm as blind as a fool can be.
You stole my heart but I love you anyway.

[Instrumental break.]

Maggie! I wish I'd never seen your face.
I'll get on back home one of these days.
Oooo-whooo-hooo.

Lyrics: Maggie may, Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart- Mandolin Wind-Lyrics (original)

When the rain came I thought you'd leave 'cause I knew how much you loved the sun
But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm
through the darkest nights I've ever known
If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
then I know I love ya

Oh the snow fell without a break
Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know
Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years
I couldn't believe you kept a smile
Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst
And I know I love ya

Oh I never was good with romantic words
so the next few lines come really hard
Don't have much but what I've got is yours
except of course my steel guitar
Ha, 'cause I know you don't play
but I'll teach you one day
because I love ya

I recall the night we knelt and prayed
Noticing your face was thin and pale
I found it hard to hide my tears
I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down
No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing
Couldn't change a thing no, no

The coldest winter in almost fourteen years
could never, never change your mind

And I love ya
Yes indeed and I love ya
And I love ya
Lordy I love ya

Picture-We Don't need to Hide
