Listen woman you needn't look so stupid when I call your name out loud
Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet smelling girl with intelligence
and you know how
I wouldn't want anyone else to know
About the way you really are
You're just a rock and roll queen
You know what I mean
And I'm just a rock and roll star

Listen woman you needn't go to bed with everybody that you meet
Cause everybody thinks you're a sweet little girl with intelligence in
your feet
I wouldn't want anyone else to know
About the way you really are
You're just a rock and roll queen
You know what I mean
And I'm just a rock and roll star
Alright!
You're just a rock and roll queen
You know what I mean
And I'm just a rock and roll star
(fade

Leaving me girl and moving on down the road
You left me many burdens such a heavy load
Well the crossroads all my life it has been
And it sure does bring me out when I think about what went down
And I'm so afraid but now I'm trying to see
Well you can preached me like a lesson
I just rode on through life till I took the time to concentrate on you
You can bring me a lot of gold
If you don't have a lot of soul
But you just can't live in Texas
I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time

And where you're living now you'll find out and how that you never had a
Yes I'm leaving you babe cause now I know that you ain't mine
Well you can preached me like a lesson
You can bring me a lot of gold
If you don't have a lot of soul
friend
But you just can't live in Texas

Well I'm leaving here tonight for the very last time
Yes I'm leaving you girl cause now I know that you ain't mine
Some day a change will come and you'll be there beside me one more time
Yeah!
One more time
Yes you'll be there beside me
And you'll be there beside me
One more time
One more time

A mountain train's coming down the track
She ain't wasting time
She's carrying me cause I'm going back
Right to the Delaware line
She knows well I ain't been anywhere
Because I crawl back every time to her
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain

Troubles and tears
I'll take it in years
I left so many behind
I may be a train rearranged
Who knows what I'll find
But everything's better in my life I know
I can face any grades that I'm on
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
(alright)
(hey hey hey)

(oh) I'm walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
When she talks to me I know she sees
Where I'm heading to
She sits winks takes it all in
Just admires the view
And if I had a choice in life
I'd take that mountain for my wife
I'm walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas

Will there come a time when sorrow's hard to find
And all those nursery rhymes will find a meaning
There's got to be a change, thoughts to rearrange
Does it seem so strange to try redeeming

Only time will show if the unrelenting blow
That's cast from down below does strike the ceiling
Life must still go on whatever's right or wrong
Realise what's gone and was never healing

No wheels to ride
No wheels to travel
No tracks to take on down
The road I walk is getting heavy
But I must still go on
And in the night
I hear the calling
As the train goes by
Then all I hear is my footsteps falling
Upon the tears I cry
(yeah)
If I could find a better way to get to you
You know that I would
No money lines my pockets now
But by the spring you know that it should
Well I just cant wait to catch that greyhound bus
That will take me back right to your side
(oh oh)
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
I can't get enough of your love
(baby)
(whoa)
(hey)
So I'll go on making time
'Til I can see a way
Maybe tomorrow I'll find a future
Baby all I can say
If I can find a better way to get to you
You know that I will
Nobody rides my pockets now
But by the spring you know yes you know that they will
And someday soon I'll see you there waiting at the station just for me
(oh)
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
For you to get back
(home)
(oh please)

Who do you think you are looking at me like that
Put your face on someone else's head
Where do you think you're at hanging around my leg
Put yourself in someone else's bed

Whiskey women, American lay
Whiskey women, American way

What do you want from me clutchin' at my blue jeans
You don't know where those old jeans have been
Why do you look so hurt when I tell you where to go
You've been there before from what I've seen

Whiskey women, American lay
Whiskey women, American way

Who do you think you are looking at me like that
Put your face on someone else's head
Where do you think you're at hanging around my neck
Put yourself in someone else's bed

Whiskey women, American lay
Whiskey women, American way.

You keep a knockin' but you can't come in
You keep a knockin' but you can't come in

Listen
Contrary to what various people say
This is the best pos-, this is the best possible form of music there
ever was
Just this

It's all a load of bullshit
You can, can play a guitar, you can ???
It's got nothing to do with it, this is what it's

???

Well I got a woman mean as she can be
I got a woman just as mean as she can be right
Sometime I'm thinking come over here with me

I said shake baby shake
I said shake baby shake
Come on
Now shake baby shake
I'm thinking there's a whole lot of shakin' goin' on

This is a number called 'What Did I Say', by Jerry Lee Lewis
And we'd like you to answer him, get into it you know-a

I followed the night till the morning sunlight
And I thought of the changing times
And I followed the child with the evergreen smile
And the blue broken tears start to cry

Blue broken tears hide away the years
Misty highway seems colder today

And I saw a Waterlow where the evergreen grows
And the wise man knows why he crys
And I heard a child call me away from this all
And the blue broken tears start to rise

Blue broken tears ain't nobody here
Lost in the sun my only young one

Blue broken tears our love disappears
The evergreen dies drowned in my eyes

Well I went down to the bunny station
Cause I wanted love for a week or two
I wanted you on a week vacation
Cause its costing me but its killing you

NaNa Naaa NaNa
NaNa Naaa NaNa
NaNa Naaa NaNa NaNa Naa
Alright

Well I got a friend in the fire department
He was telling me I'm on the road to Rome
He said you'd better find out where you're going
Cause your wife can't fight out all the fires alone

NaNa Naaa NaNa
NaNa Naaa NaNa
NaNa Naaa NaNa NaNa Naa
Hit me

Well we passed the time in there but we got thrown out
It was falling down and it was overgrown
He said I can see you now ask the captain
He says boy you're really on the road to Rome

NaNa Naaa NaNa
NaNa Naaa NaNa
NaNa Naaa NaNa NaNa Naa

Well my brother he was a drinking man
And i asked him for release
He said this won't do you no good
And sent for the police

Well they busted me for nothing
Cos they said i was insane
So they let my body go
But they locked away my brain

Well i wandered freely as a bird that had broken both its wings
And i hated them and they hated me and i hated everthing
And i realise that to survive well my body is not mine
And i feel neglected feel rejected



Living in the wrong time

And to those of you who always laugh
Let this be your epitaph

And my head is down and i'm called a clown by comedians that grace
The living stage of every page of worthless meaningless space
But i swear to you before we're though you're gonna feel our every blow
We ain't bleeding you we're feeding you but you're too f*cking slow

And to those of you who always laugh
Let this be your epitaph

How long 'fore you realise you swing
How long 'fore you realise you sting
From the good to the bad to the ugly change
How long 'fore you start to rearrange
How long how long 'fore you realise that all's strange

How long will it take to turn you around
How long will it take to bend you down
It makes you believe in the [real] exchange
How long will it take for me to rearrange
How long how long 'fore you realise that all's strange

Well i don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long 'fore you realise what you missed



How long 'fore we we get out and may get pissed
You get all the books from the corn exchange
Really mad at this outrage
How long how long 'fore you realise that all's strange
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say
I don't care what the people may say
I don't give a - anyway
I don't care what the people may say

How long
How long
How long
How long
Won't you tell me how long
Won't you tell me how long
Won't you tell me how long
Won't you tell me how long
How long will it take
How long will it take
How long will it take (yeah)
How long will it take

I've been sitting here thinking
When i started out drinking
I went on to the dope surely just to change my life
I cried a tear and a beer for me
I lost everything near and dear to me
Namely my children and my wife
I've an idea of having a good time
Was sitting up there with my head between my knees
Well i knew everything there was to know
Everything except which way to go
I cried oh god please take me will you take me please

(yeah) many a time (well i) swore up and down
I don't need none of this junk that's a floating round
I could quit - let me finish what i've got
After all this stuff sure costs a lot
Then i get my feet back on the ground
Now i can't tell nobody how to live their life
Even though inside we're all the same
All these things are toys i was playing with
You know, you know we're all losers in the end

(well now) since i've been straight
I haven't been in my cups
I ain't shooting downs i ain't using ups



You know i'm still as crazy as a loon
Even though i don't run out and cop a spoon
Thank the good lord god well i've had enough
I've got a friend and his name is robertson
He told me "don't need to be stoned to know a friend
Believe me you're all beautiful people just the way you are
Tell me, what has that stuff done for you so far?"

I've been sitting here thinking i've been winking i've been blinking
Well i don't have to sit around no more on the nod
With my head in the air (you know)
I can do anything i can do it straight i can do it so much better now
Its gotta start
Right here in your own back yard
Yes it's gotta start back your own b

Darkness darkness be my pillow
Take my hand let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness darkness hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things that cannot see (no, no)

Darkness darkness long and lonesome
With the day that brings my happiness
I have found the edge of silence
Oh i am in depths of fear
Darkness darkness be my blanket



Cover me with the endless night
Take away take away the pain of your way
Fill the emptiness with light (na na na na)

Darkness darkness be my pillow
Take my hand let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep
Darkness darkness hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind keep my mind from constant turning
Toward the things that cannot see

His feet lay heavy on the road that led to Birmingham
Unseeing eyes, defeated cries, the mysteries of men.
Many hears, the helpless tears that leave the troubled brow
A man once tall, he fought them, but he is older now.

For in your youth, you think the truth will always win the game
Some men are Kings, some men are rooks, some men are pawns to blame
But if your skin is coloured black, well the dice are hidden in
The minds of fools who twist the rules, so you can never win

Birmingham, Birmingham, underneath your face
There's nothing but a space - you're hollow.

Unlighted sky, begins to cry, the shabby coat is weak
And homes with windows dressed in warmth, and mouths that never speak
His mind is dead, the visions spread the past before his feet
And thankfully he wears that dream that shields him from the street

Goodnight my friend, this is the end, you'll never cry again
You'll never have to smile away the bastards and the maimed
Is it too late, or can you wait to take another's hand
And walk together down that road that leads to Birmingham

Birmingham, Birmingham, underneath your face
There's nothing but a space - inside you.

Birmingham, Birmingham, underneath your face
There's

Well it's Sunday afternoon
I'm sitting in my living room
And I'm stung by love
Baby don't care about me

She got a place on the North End Road
I been around, the curtains were closed
And I'm stung by love, stung by love
Baby don't care about me

I got the growing man blues
Can't get it on the National Health
I got the growing man blues
Guess I'll have to get it myself

(Come on, all right)

Well I follow her around
She means (?)
And I'm stung by love,
Baby don't care about me
I'm shy(?)
It's about eleven when she turns off the light
And I'm stung by love, stung by love
Baby don't care about me

I got the growing man blues
Can't get it on the National Health
I got the growing man blues
Guess I'll have to get it myself

He's got the growing man blues
Can't get it on the National Health
I got the growing man blues
Guess I'll have to get it myself

Momma's little jewel, just left school.
Fresh from the nuns who made you.
I don't know why, but I'm gonna try to re-incelibate you.

True when I hold you near, and I
Come even when I'm on the run, and I'm
Wearing Black Scorpio faces, when I
Come in the noonday sun.

Momma's little jewel you got the rules
But I'll be the one to educate you
Take what's mine, take a little time
But don't bite the hand that makes you

Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you in the (?)
Wearing Black Scorpio eyes, when I
Come in the morning sun

What you want I can't buy
Why don't you try it my way
What you look for ain't in the book
And I'm gonna show you someday

You won't rise, you won't shine
You won't bleed if you try, boys
You got brains if your luck changes
You'll have to play with my toys

True when I hold you near, and I
Come even when I'm on the run, and I'm
Wearing Black Scorpio faces, when I
Come in the noonday sun, and I
Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you in the (?)
Wearing Black Scorpio faces, when I
Come in the morning sun

Momma's, Momma's little Jewel
Momma's, Momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew
Momma's, Momma's little Jewel
Momma's, Momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew
Momma's, Momma's little Jewel
Momma's, Momma's little jew-ew-ew-ew-ew

You could never know just how sad I feel.
Cause I've been down so long and I don't know where to come.
Looking out the backdoor to the empty hills beyond over there.
There's something I don't understand.
Yeah, you can make what you like of it.
But I don't want to be a part of it, anymore.
