Blues In The Blood Composer(s): Jackie Lomax Performer(s): Jackie Lomax
Well, I try to do the right thing and it turns out wrong I like to sing, I forget the song Well, I don't know if that's bad or if it's good I'm kinda stuck with it, I got the blues in the blood
Well, I love these ladies and I have to leave When I go to Hades there'll be no-one left to grieve I don't know if that's bad or if it's good I'm kinda stuck with it, I got the blues in the blood
Well, I try to do the right thing and it turns out wrong I love to sing, I forget the song Well, I don't know if that's bad or if it's good I'm kinda stuck with it, I got the blues in the blood
I don't know if that's wrong if if it's right I'm kinda stuck with it, I got the blues both day and night Well, I don't know if that's bad or if it's good I'm kinda stuck with it, I got the blues in the blood
Leave It To Jane Composer(s): Jerome Kern - P.G. Wodehouse Performer(s): Edith Hallor, Oscar Shaw, Ann Orr
Leave it to Jane, Jane, Jane I don't know why you should make me Ask of a plan from you She is the girl with brains
I've always tried to do Every thing I can for you No problem you can wish On her, gives her a strain
She'll tackle many a storm, and daily If something is on your mind And I can see that there is Not a doubt of it
Comfort you soon will find Leave it to me I can get you out of it If you have started worrying Kindly refrain And just hand over the whole thing to Jane
Well Jane Why don't you tell us How do you do it? Yes Jane, come on Jane, tell us Oh well, it's really very simple I just study up on the famous Women of history You mean like Lucrecia Borgia? Well, no, not exactly, listen
Leave It Composer(s): Paul McCartney Performer(s): Mike McGear
I dearly love her artichokes Their continental flavor makes me choke Satisfied inside like vinaigrette Like an old brown photograph Her memory paints forever Polaroid Pictures of the day she came my way Did she stay?
She didn't want to leave it She didn't want to leave it She didn't want to leave it Leave it baby it's gone away
Peeling off her underwear She makes me think of daisies shedding their Silver metal petals in the air
Sssupersonic autograph For simple stage door Johnny was a laugh On the stairway to the star she cried 'Cause she lied
She didn't want to leave it She didn't want to leave it She didn't want to leave it Leave it baby it's gone away
Come on baby don't be late I want to help you to celebrate Come on leave your world behind Leave it Leave it Leave it Leave it It's gone away
Blues In Bob Minor Composer(s): Robert Wyatt Performer(s): Robert Wyatt
Roger's in the archive looking up casement Martha's in the government digging up the basement Rebel into representative for the voter Shadow backhencher couldn't get a word in Turned up anyway ... issues burning All consuming ... drinks in the cabinet Spent a lot of time just examining the building drinks on the house? you must be joking Corridors of power cuts toy telephone bills Long time no see underneath the floorboard Looking for the roots of the family treetops Toe's in the water but you've only got ten.
Fingers in the eel pie poke around tip top Tunnelling a wormhole Eartha Kitty catfish Meadow brown peacock ... pupa-larva-caterpillar Hibernate in winter of our discotheque no End in sight .. more like a spiral ... coil Or curler ... just unwinding ... very slowly Revealing endless disappearing pipelines Genuflecting ... bowing deeply ... it Don't take a weathergirl to see where The wind is blowing ... what the wind is bending
Isobars are opening ... sex to midnight Cabinet shuffling homeward bound ... taking A detour ... rendezvous do ... chapel in the valley Of the blown up doll ... that's not Martha Shunting in a siding ... she got homework Up to here Roger's in the footnotes up to his elbones Verse and chapter disinterred Borrowing a bookcase don't come easy The weight of the evidence in parenthesis Beggars tightly furled belief
Heads on blockabeater repetition on the line Shell shock supertroopers ... whirl banking oil palm Intercontinental drift ... over the rainbow Over the sea to ska rocker skintone hirsuit missed a link and that's not all That he got missing inna thousand years of Orthotoxic waste disposal ... god proposal Jealous sky ... whatever is a girl to do To break the service in its tried and tested And found wanting state of oh! boy network Stewardship?
Little Johnny Aardvark never hurt Nobody ... Martha friend and Roger too Tone down a little ... sotto voce ... some tall order Given that four minutes seems eternity time In the bushed up world of waspish Vsigns A-sides sui-C-side salads of the bad young B-sides What's the point of digging deeper just to lay The ghost of Sala Hal-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub?
"Don't give up" the dead man cried "There's more of us than there of you Soon you'll all be on our side ... forever more or Lester Young died ... 'Fat Girl' also ... blowing all the blues Away side ... dust ain't just dust ... trust us like we Live forever ... broken loose from greystone tether Keep on tiptoe through the archive ... we are dead But you are alive ... Martha yes and Roger too Until you let the gringos grind you down"
Blues Hangover Composer(s): Slim Harpo; Jerry West; James Moore Originally performed by: Slim Harpo Covered by: George Thorogood & the Destroyers
Lord, I wonder what done happened Ain't nobody here but me All these empty bottles on the table here I know I didn't drink all this by myself I must have a blues hangover What's this? My check!?! And I don't have change for a grasshopper and that's two crookies
Uh oh, here come Pro Sent in for this doggie But he ain't got no money Look like he done lost everything he ever just had Ain't that's a come-off Dear me I done gave my baby twenty dollars for a Christmas present All I got was a slice of jelly cake And Sam and Nedetta Now that's a wolf-jenny
Now I'll believe I'll go on back on the stem now With James, Rudolph and Tom Cat Get my head bad again Don't seem like nothin' goin' right for me today All Right, here I go Same old thing again Look out now!
L'eau Vive Composer(s): Guy Béart First release by: Guy Béart - 1958
Ma petite est comme l'eau, elle est comme l'eau vive Elle court comme un ruisseau, que les enfants poursuivent Courez, courez vite si vous le pouvez Jamais, jamais vous ne la rattraperez
Lorsque chantent les pipeaux, lorsque danse l'eau vive Elle mene les troupeaux, au pays des olives Venez, venez, mes chevreaux, mes agnelets Dans le laurier, le thym et le serpolet
Un jour que, sous les roseaux, sommeillait mon eau vive Vinrent les gars du hameau pour l'emmener captive Fermez, fermez votre cage à double cle Entre vos doigts, l'eau vive s'envolera
Comme les petits bateaux, emportes par l'eau vive Dans ses yeux les jouvenceaux voguent à la derive Voguez, voguez demain vous accosterez L'eau vive n'est pas encore à marier
Pourtant un matin nouveau à l'aube, mon eau vive Viendra battre son trousseau, aux cailloux de la rive Pleurez, pleurez, si je demeure esseulé Le ruisselet, au large, s'en est allé
Blues From An Airplane Composer(s): Marty Balin; Alexander "Skip" Spence Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Do you know how sad it is to be a man alone I feel so solitary being in my home without you I don't know what to do and I don't know where you are I can see my life is meant to fall apart some day Just to be a simple man who sadly goes his way got no girl so I got no world and I got no words that I'll say hey hey woman make me happy like I've never known before say you have ever known no heart fore me anymore something new, what's that sound around my heart I feel something new I'm sure your love you've given must be real I know and I'm sure of how I can be the man I feel I can be the man I feel
L'eau À La Bouche Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg - Alain Goraguer First release by: Serge Gainsbourg - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists
Écoute ma voix écoute ma prière Écoute mon cur qui bat laisse-toi faire Je t'en pris ne sois pas farouche Quand me viens l'eau à la bouche
Je te veux confiante je te sens captive Je te veux docile je te sens craintive Je t'en prie ne sois pas farouche Quand me viens l'eau à la bouche
Laisse toi au gré du courant Porter dans le lit du torrent Et dans le mien Si tu veux bien Quittons la rive Partons à la dérive Je te prendrais doucement et sans contrainte De quoi as-tu peur allons n'aie nulle crainte
Je t'en prie ne sois pas farouche Quand me viens l'eau à la bouche
Cette nuit près de moi tu viendras t'étendre Oui je serai calme je saurai t'attendre Et pour que tu ne t'effarouches Vois je ne prend que ta bouche
Blues For The Lost Days Composer(s): John Mayall; Mick Taylor Performer(s): John Mayall
Looking back through the years Like I got myself a time machine Memories flood around me People and places where I've been I had the blues for the lost days Back then when times were lean
From a home in the country with the blues On my wind-up gramophone Headin' out to the city Movin' round like a rollin' stone With a band of bluesbreakers Make a mark down here on my own
We had Freddie King, Sonny Boy and Hendrix And they'd be sitting in till the break of dawn Sweating at the all night Flamingo And comin' out to pigeons on a Sunday morn So many good times, so much music But back then nobody knew That the London blues were born
It's a sad, sad feeling When your best friends all drift apart Some of them are dead and gone But they still live on in my heart That's why I have the blues for the lost days There ain't never gonna be no counterpart
Leather And Lace Composer(s): Stevie Nicks Performer(s): Stevie Nicks; Don Henley; Smoking Popes
Is love so fragile... and the heart so hollow Shatter with words... impossible to follow You're saying I'm fragile...I try not to be I search only...for something I can't see
I have my own life...and I am stronger Than you know But I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door Still I carry this feeling When you walked into my house That you won't be walking out the door
Lovers forever...face to face My city, your mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather... Take from me...my lace
You in the moonlight With your sleepy eyes Could you ever love a man like me And you were right When I walked into your house I knew I'd never want to leave Sometimes I'm a strong man Sometimes cold and scared And sometimes I cry But that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I'd get by First time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights Somehow I would get by
Lovers forever...face to face My city, your mountains Stay with me stay I need you to love me I need you today Give to me your leather Take from me...my lace
Lovers forever...face to face My city ,you mountains...stay with me stay I need you to love me...I need you to stay Give to me your leather Take from me...my lace Take from me...my lace Take from me...my lace
Blues For My Baby And Me Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling He called you his child said honey get wise to his game He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus And it's all over now Don't you worry no more Gonna go west to the sea The greyhound is swaying And the radio is playing Some blues for baby and me And the highway looks like it never did Lord it looks so sweet and so free And I can't forget that trip to the west Singing blues for baby and me
Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky I called you my child, said honey now it's our game There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
Blues For Allah Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Donna Jean Godchaux; Keith Godchaux; Mickey Hart; Robert Hunter; Bill Kreutzmann; Phil Lesh; Bob Weir Originally performed by: Grateful Dead Covered by: Jazz Is Dead; Henry Kaiser
Arabian wind, the needle's eye is thin The ships of state sail on mirage and drown in sand Out in no man's land, where Allah does command What good is spilling blood? It will not grow a thing "Taste eternity", the swords sing Blues for Allah, Insh'Allah They lie where they fall, there's nothing more to say The desert stars are bright tonight, let's meet as friends
The flower of Islam, the fruit of Abraham The thousand stories have come round to one again Arabian night, our gods pursue their flight What fatal flowers of darkness bloom from seeds of light Bird of Paradise fly in the white sky
Blues for Allah, Insh'Allah Let's see with our heart these things our eyes have seen And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between
Under eternity Under eternity Under eternity Under eternity Under eternity Under eternity
Bird of Paradise fly in white sky Blues for Allah, Insh'Allah
Learning To Fly Composer(s): Jon Carin - David Gilmour - Bob Ezrin - Anthony Moore - David Gilmour First release by: Pink Floyd - 1987
Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything No navigator to guide my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock - set Mixture - rich Propellers - fully forward Flaps - set - 10 degrees Engine gauges and suction - check
Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck Flight instruments... Altimeters - check both (garbled word) - on Navigation lights - on Strobes - on (to tower): confirm 3-8-echo ready for departure (tower): hello again, this is now 129.4 (to tower): 129.4 It's time to go (tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots (to tower): 3-8-echo Easy on the brakes Take it easy It's gonna roll this time Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Blues Before Sunrise Composer(s): Leroy Carr Originally performed by: Leroy Carr Covered by various other artists
I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes It was a miserable feeling, now babe, a feeling I do despise
I have to leave, leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong I have to leave you baby, because you know you done me wrong I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling and break up my happy home
I have to leave, leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone I'm gonna leave you baby, I'm gonna leave you all alone I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling because you know you done me wrong
Well now goodbye, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day Well now goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day You can go ahead now little darling, 'cause I want you to have your way
Learning The Game ((French Version: La Règle Du Jeu (by Éric James) - 1998)) Composer(s): Buddy Holly First release by: Buddy Holly - 1960 Covered by multiple other artists
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue These go with learning the game
When you love her but she doesn't love you You're only learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue That's when you're learning the game
Blues As Blues Can Get Composer(s): J. Fred Knobloch; Tim Krekel Performer(s): Delbert McClinton; Fabulous Horndogs; Chris Farlowe
Gonna sit right down in my easy chair Pull out a deck of cards, play some solitaire Break out a bottle, wash me a glass To keep me company 'til the feelings pass Everybody needs someting to do Me, I'll just sit here and think about you It might seem hopeless, but it ain't that bad yet It's just the blues as blues can get...
I need to call somebody, someone I can trust I need the number for lovers' anonymous I'll tell 'em my story, hope they understand Maybe they can explain it to me 'cause I don't think I can I'll take your picture down from my wall Try to remember the thrill of it all I know it's over, but it ain't over yet It's just the blues as blues can get...
Why fight the feeling when I can't fight back the tears I stare at the ceiling and wish that you were here I'm going crazy, but I ain't crazy yet It's just the blues as blues can get...
