Texas - Say What You Want

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n1mfhFBYdg

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

What I am is what you want of me
Yeh, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned that I don't care

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

Well, you can say what you want
But that won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But that won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

Bob Dylan - Someone's Got A Hold Of My Heart

They say "Drink and be merry, 

Take the bull by the horns." 

I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns  

Everything looks a little far away to me  

Gettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap  

Too much information about nothin' 

Too much educated rap  

It's just like you told me, just like you said it would be  

The moon rising like wildfire 

I feel the breath of a storm

Something I got to do tonight  

You go inside and stay warm  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

You- Yeah, you got a hold of my heart  

Just got back from a city of powder blue skies  

Everybody thinks with their stomach  

There's plenty of spies  

Every street is crooked, they just wind around till they disappear  

Madame Butterfly, she lulls me to sleep 

Like an ancient river  

So wide and deep  

She said, "Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here"  

You're the one I've been waitin' for  

You're the one I desire  

But you must first realize I'm not another man for hire  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

You, you, you, you  

Yeah, you got a hold of my heart  

I hear the hot-blooded singer  

On the bandstand croon  

September Song, 

Memphis in June  

While they're beating the devil out of a guy who's wearing a flaming red wig  

I been to Babylon  

I gotta confess 

 I can still hear that voice crying in the wilderness  

What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big  

Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine  

Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

Someone's got a hold of my heart  

You- Yeah, you got a hold of my heart

Bob Dylan - Blind Willie McTell

Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, "This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans
To Jerusalem."
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
Well, I heard the hoot owl singing
As they were taking down the tents
The stars above the barren trees
Were his only audience
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
But nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
See them big plantations burning
Hear the cracking of the whips
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
(And) see the ghosts of slavery ships
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
(I can) hear the undertaker's bell
(Yeah), nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
There's a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He's dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
There's a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebels yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
Well, God is in heaven
And we all want what's his
But power and greed and corruptible seed
Seem to be all that there is
I'm gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Goodbye Mr Mackenzie - Blacker than black

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkWR7DkVmz4

Death is a pony that's waiting for me
His name is Luigi, he's tied to the black tree
I will decide when that day is gonna be
No bureaucrats are making these decisions for me
Pleasing, displeasing, there is only one way
There is the bomb and there is a baby

Pleasing, displeasing, you fight for your lifestyle
Return from the war, don't relate to your own child

You know the way I feel
It's blacker than black
It's no big deal
I fought my war now, blacker than black

For my home, I fought for my ties
Now all that is coming about your eyes
Fought for my living, I fought for my station
Gambled my life on irksome affection

Hey, not that anyone should mind
Hey, not that anyone will cry
Hey, I love somebody but I let that go by
Hey, honey don't you cry

You know the way I feel
It's blacker than black
It's no big deal
The way I feel is blacker than black
Show me the easy way
So I can fly from here
Show me the easy way
I can get far from here
If you show me the easy way

You know the way I feel
It's blacker than black
If you can't go forwards
Then you must go back

The Undertones - Teenage Kicks

[Verse 1]
A teenage dream's so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PinCg7IGqHg

[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had

[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

[Verse 1]
A teenage dream's so hard to beat
Every time she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cos I'm all alone
I need excitement, oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had

[Chorus]
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night
I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

Robert Palmer - She makes my day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xZeNueckzg


Verse 1]
I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for?
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers

[Bridge]
She's like a new girl everyday
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her

[Chorus]
I'll never be lonely now I know her (She trusts her intuition)
She fills my heart with joy (That's in our best interest)
She makes my day
She just has to smile (She make a difference)
To blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand (She had a smiling face)
To make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once

[Verse 2]
Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares

[Bridge]
In less time than it takes to fall
I'm here and there you are
We never fought it anyway

[Chorus]
I'll never be lonely now I know her (She trusts her intuition)
She fills my heart with joy (That's in our best interest)
She makes my day
She just has to smile (She make a difference)
To blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand (She had a smiling face)
To make me stay

[Verse 1]
I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for?
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up in a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers

[Bridge]
She's like a new girl everyday
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy loving her

[Chorus]
I'll never be lonely now I know her (She trusts her intuition)
She fills my heart with joy (That's in our best interest)
She makes my day
She just has to smile (She make a difference)
To blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand (She had a smiling face)
To make me stay

[Outro]
She's all good loving at once (x15)

Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Oliver's Army

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrjHz5hrupA

Don't start me talking
I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking
While I'm putting the world to right

Called careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation?

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile

Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear

If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
