Got the Blues
04:07
|

did I tell you baby what I`m gonna do
I`m gonna sit back right here
and eat my very shoes
baby don`t you know that I got the blues
I`m sitting in my chair
telling you what to wear
evening day or morning baby I don`t care
to see the tulips growing
my heart goes everywhere
baby can`t you see what I show you there
I show you flower gears
telling you not to fear
did I tell you baby that I found the clue
I`m gonna take your love now
and tell you what to do
baby don`t you know that I got the blues
yes baby you will see
I`m putting inside you me
did I tell you baby what I`m gonna do
I`m gonna sit back right here
and eat my very shoes
baby don`t you know that I got the blues

my mother decieved me
when I was a child
she left me on my own
when she died
my father took to drinkin`
Long John was his friend

and I don`t know who they are
got to carry my life alone
got to carry my life

05:27
|

I`m gonna paint my life on the wall
yes and I`m gonna cry all the time
I`m gonna sigh she ain`t mine
I`m gonna write rhyme to rhyme
painting on the wall
I`m gonna sit and moan on the wall
yes and I`m gonna beg you to stay
your pretty legs are goin`away
hear what I said and still say
please come here to me
I`m gonna paint my life on........
I`m gonna stick my tongue on the wall
yes and I`m gonna love all the birds
girl you`re a dove hear my words
now it is done go now girl
I loved you enough
I`m gonna put my head on the wall
yes and I`ll put my hand on your bust
there in the sand free our lust
I am the man you can trust
I won`t do you wrong
I`m gonna paint my life on........

I`m walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
remembrin` the days when
the snow on the ground made me well
go away with that blues
the blues went away then
I have a happy moment in mind
when my father treated me kind
Look at the wall and the pictures of people that past
tomorrow there`s one more
that hangs on the wall
some day I might be hangin` there, too
let`s walk in through this door
to diamonds and expensive paintings
all the things I see make me feel so small
and you know it`s all mine
yeah
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
I`m walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
I think of the times when
I`ve played like a clown
now I see there is nothing the same
I`ll never play again my game
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
Gardener Jones is the one that will never be changed
the garden is his land
and all the fine birds that we`ve had flying `round aren`t the same
remember my tree and
the sorry day that I have in mind
when an accident made my ma` be blind
and this house is all mine
yeah
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth
walkin` around in a house that I know from my youth

Good Precaution
02:30
|
|||
see how they fly on mantle-piece eyes
a lizard heart really shows us the nerve
on Friday night the kettle will burn
but you`ll hafta throw the birds away
after some good precaution
marry your wife and see how she cries
a beating part in her body will stir
a distaff sound shows that your alive
but you`ll hafta let your pancake go
after some good precaution
you don`t know what your son would say
if you came home with a freeway
tomorrow you`ll be running fast
but you`re a teacher so you won`t last
somebody says that you`re a cow
in your body is a bird`s brow
you know the people in your eyes
but you don`t know when the man cries
see how they fly on ....

please girl let me know
if I ought to go
every girl I`ve known
left me on my own
please girl don`t do that
please don`t leave me flat
make up your mind
and when I tell you my love I could die
`cos you say you love him more than I love you
make up your mind …

One Woman Man
05:16
|
|||
life is slipping through my fingers
I expected something more
still the day I think that lingers
when you came in through my door
don`t you believe the words I`m saying
why would I be lying
no matter what you say
no matter what you do
I`m a one woman man
I`m a one woman man
the one is you
walking up an endless mountain
I can`t find an empty seat
looking for a sparkling fountain
comfort for the aching feet
when I come back to you my darling
you will always be there
no matter where you go
no matter what you know
I`m a one woman man
I`m a one woman man
the one is you
the one is you
will I always meet resistance
will I never reach the goal
still a light glows in the distance
making better to my soul
don`t you believe the words I`m saying
why would I be lying
no matter where I am
no matter where you are
I`m a one woman man
I`m a one woman man
the one is you
I`m a one woman man
I`m a one woman man
the one is you
the one is you

I don`t want tooth-paste in my porridge
I don`t want tooth-paste in my porridge
I don`t want tooth-paste in my porridge
I don`t want tooth-paste in my porridge
I don`t want tooth-paste in my porridge
I don`t want tooth-paste in my porridge
Every morning when I`m gonna eat
There`s always something that will be my feat
It`s something that I don`t want to taste
And that is tooth-paste
I don`t want tooth-paste in my …
It`s just one thing that I wanna say
I don`t want this in my porridge every day
I`ve got not so much time to waste
Because of tooth-paste
I don`t want tooth-paste in my …
Well now girl if you don`t wanna stay
Just tell me and I´ll let you go away
I don`t mind if you go with haste
And take your tooth-paste
I don`t want tooth-paste in my …

Saving the World
05:20
|
|||
I`m so sorry I`m late
but I`m busy saving the world
I`ve been working since eight
it ain`t easy saving the world
see to the sun will shine
making us all feel fine
no one will have to whine
leaders of the world
can`t you see you do it wrong
leaders of the world
if you listen to my song
try to realize it`s so many there to feed
try to realize it`s a burden we don`t need
I`m so sorry I`m late …
Children of the world
Wonder how your fate will be
Children of the world
It`s a hard reality
If you´d realize education is a clue
If you`d realize I know that it`s good for you
I`m so sorry I`m late …
I`m so sorry I`m late …
Try to get rid of hate
See that he is your mate
Try to get rid of guns
Share even all your buns
Don`t let them put you down
There ain`t no use to frown
Don`t let them put you down
Don`t let them put you down

Man Is Strange
03:23
|
|||
Johnny drinks whisky and Mary takes dope
my mind is achin` `cos it ain`t much hope
Bobby writes tags and Sheila gets high
I wonder how it started I wonder just why
I don`t drink booze and I take no dope
I might as well be dangling in a rope
Mr Man is strange and the Mrs too
I`ll never understand why they do as they do
Eric feeds cancer while having a smoke
the steps get higher as he starts to choke
money man cares no way about why
it`s none of his business how many will die
I don`t let smoke get into my longue
I might as well be crawling in the dung
Mr Man is strange and the Mrs too
I`ll never understand why they do as they do
Mr Man is having a way of his own
he wouldn`t care less than to answer the phone
everything`s hard it`s better to cry
I`ll never understand what they do to get by
who in the world can tell me why
strange things apply
where in the world will people try
changing the sky
only to cry
Ernie gets goin` while Donna goes by
they get no answer `cos there`s only why
high in the sky the swallow just flies
just mind your own business don`t bother with lies
I don`t like war and I`ve got no gun
I`d rather be a peasant in the sun
Mr Man is strange and the Mrs too
I`ll never understand why they do as they do
I`ll never understand why they do as they do
I`ll never understand why they do as they do

Allright
03:39
|

oh well I feel allright now
I said I feel allright now
what else can I do
with a girl like you
you know I feel so fine
when I`m with you
oh yes I feel allright now
yes when you hold me tight now
and if you`re around
I just fall right down
you know I feel so fine
when I`m with you
oh well I feel allright now
I said I feel.....
you know that I love you true
that`s just what I can do you
you treat me this way
nothing can be gray
you know I love you so
I`ll never go
oh yes I feel allright now
yes when you hold....

By Bus
03:50
|
|||
and it`s good to know when you go by bus
it`s good to know that you`re one of us
it`s good to know when you go by bus
it`s good to know that you`re one of us
and I`m gonna sit right down
and I`m gonna tell myself
a lot of things I didn`t know before
and folks in the neighbourhood
don`t know they misunderstood
`cos I don`t want no people there at all
but it`s good to know when …
and I`m gonna put the blame
and I`m gonna do the same
to justify the reasons that I know
and people will try to flee
they don`t wanna be with me
and I don`t want no people in my show
but it`s good to know when …
I`m gonna toe the line
And I`m gonna do it fine
In many ways it seems I am your friend
So listen to what I say
`cos I`m gonna make my day
But I don`t want no people in the end
but it`s good to know when …
yes it`s good to know when …

I was standing in the bad room
trying to wash the whore
when I realized I`d never been there before
and then suddenly it struck me
hit me right in the eye
that I was her killer and I don`t mean to die
badge sing in the to to toa
wond`ring who the parents are
everybody tits on TV
so I lie myself in anger
trying to sleep the brain
dogheads that I`m baring never will fly in vain
and the wooden hugger limp
will capture my morning quest
dealing on a frameless
tasting just like the rest
badge sing on the to to toa
wond`ring why it went so far
everybody tits on TV
what you get is what you`ve got
what you sweat is what you`re not
what you get is what you`ve got
what you sweat is what you`re not
what you get is what you`ve got
what you sweat is what you`re not
what you get is what you`ve got
what you sweat is what you`re not
what you get is what ...
so I didn`t hit the way now
what are you glueing on
bad brewed on a paper and then it just had gone
and the little gets are fore barn
slipping the fart controle
smelling like a car I wonder what is a tvole
badge sing in the to to toa
wond`ring when I`m tapping tar
everybody tits on TV
so I sit in my folk-waggon
bridging the eagle town
cleaning works and folkshit happen to ramble down
with some bulls to eat at breakfast
wond`ring what I stopped in
realizing I`m the man with the groupie skin
badge sing in the to to toa
wond`ring if I`m not a star
everybody tits on TV
what you get is what ...
what you get is what ...
what you get is what ...
what you get is what ...
