B i o g r a p h y (by Mark Deming)
Penning songs that are offbeat in narrative, but literate and emotionally revealing, and performing them in a soulful, idiosyncratic style that reveals both strength and fragility, Cat Power was one of the most acclaimed singer/songwriters to emerge from the 1990s indie rock scene, a one of a kind artist unafraid to reveal her inner self in her music and follow her muse in a variety of different directions. Cat Power is the stage name of Chan (pronounced "Shawn") Marshall, born Charlyn Marie Marshall in Atlanta, Georgia on January 21, 1972. Marshall's father was a blues musician, but her parents divorced when she was young, and she spent much of her nomadic childhood moving back and forth between her father, her mother, and her grandfather. While Marshall's parents didn't encourage her to play music early on, she wrote her first song when she was in fourth grade, and immersed herself in her stepfather's record collection, dominated by soul and classic rock. When Marshall was 16, she moved in with her father in Atlanta, and by 18 she had dropped out of high school and settled on her own. She fell in with a group of experimental indie rock musicians in Atlanta and began jamming with her new friends, initially for fun but eventually playing with several bands before forming a group called Cat Power. The name came from a trucker's cap emblazoned with "Cat Diesel Power" that Marshall spotted while working at a pizza joint. After streamlining it into a suitable band name, she later took Cat Power as her stage alias, and she began earning a reputation on the Atlanta music scene. In 1992, Marshall relocated to New York City and initially focused her energies on writing songs, but as she became aware of New York's experimental music community, she was emboldened to put fresh emphasis on performing, and began playing semi-improvised shows around the city. In 1993, Marshall became acquainted with members of the group God Is My Co-Pilot, and with their help, she released the first Cat Power single, "Headlights" b/w "Darling Said Sir." Later the same year, Cat Power opened for Liz Phair in New York, and two of the fans who caught the show were Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar and his friend Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth. Foljahn and Shelley were impressed enough with Marshall that they volunteered to help her make an album, and they backed her on Cat Power's first full-length album, Dear Sir, released by Plain Records in 1995. A second album, Myra Lee, was issued by Shelley's Smells Like Records label in early 1996, featuring unused material from the Dear Sir sessions. Strong reviews and growing interest from the indie music community led to Marshall signing with Matador Records, and her third album, What Would the Community Think, appeared in the fall of 1996. While Cat Power became known as a compelling performer, Marshall also developed a reputation for erratic live shows, sometimes performing with her back to the audience, stopping songs in mid-stream, or spouting spontaneous monologs on-stage, suggesting she was often uncomfortable in front of an audience, though on other nights she could deliver a solid, intense show. In 1997, Marshall's anxieties led her to drop out of music and move to South Carolina, but a bout of insomnia followed by nightmares inspired a new set of songs, and she opted to return to the recording studio. 1998's Moon Pix was recorded in Australia with accompaniment from Mick Turner and Jim White of the Dirty Three, and featured a warmer, more full-bodied sound than Cat Power's early work. Marshall set aside songwriting for her next project, 2000's The Covers Record, which included a new recording of "In This Hole" from What Would the Community Think, along with interpretations of classic songs by Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, Moby Grape, and others. In early 2003, another Cat Power album was released, You Are Free, which offered a more polished and cohesive sound than before and featured guest appearances from fans Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl. In 2005, Marshall recorded The Greatest, an excellent soul-influenced album featuring Memphis R&B legends Mabon "Teenie" Hodges and Leroy "Flick" Hodges from the Hi Records Rhythm Section. The album came out in early 2006, and Marshall booked a tour in support, but the road trip was cancelled when her long simmering emotional problems and troubles with alcohol came to a head. Marshall would later tell a reporter, "The doctor said I had a psychotic break because I was suffering severe, massive depression and overwhelming stress." Marshall checked herself into a hospital to deal with her nervous breakdown and her alcoholism (she admitted to drinking as much as a fifth of scotch each day), and a few months later, she was back on the road with the musicians who helped her record The Greatest, delivering strong, confident performances and telling the press she had finally controlled her drinking problem. After touring with the crew from The Greatest in the spring and summer of 2006, Marshall hit the road again later that year with a group she called the Dirty Delta Blues Band, featuring Judah Bauer of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Gregg Foreman of the Delta 72, and previous collaborator Jim White. The Dirty Delta Blues Band formed the core of Marshall's studio band for the next Cat Power album, 2008's Jukebox, which like The Covers Album was dominated by versions of songs by the likes of Billie Holiday, James Brown, and Joni Mitchell. In 2009, Marshall became romantically involved with actor Giovanni Ribisi and moved to Los Angeles to be closer to him. The relationship ended abruptly in April 2012, while Marshall, who was taking time off from music to help Ribisi raise his daughter from a previous marriage, was working on her first collection of original songs since 2006. Adding insult to injury, Ribisi married his new girlfriend on June 16, 2012; Marshall responded by putting the finishing touches on the album, called Sun, which was released in September 2012.

The Sleepwalker I can hear voices in the water Curling up like smoke rings through the weeds I have to take some time to relocate that house of mine I think I must lost it in the river They see things so different To green eyes they give nothing away Do you think now at last You can tell me No you won't give away Crush snow on my face Feels like burning And the birds are black things singing in a tree If I got myself a gun Then I could shoot down everyone Maybe I've just invented some religion I saw a father dancing with his daughter And the music singing softly on the breeze I can't see or hear salvation anywhere I think I'll wait here 'til he comes, come down the river (?) I think I'll wait here 'til he comes, come down the river You've heard all this before Already I know I know, so I won't say anymore

Yesterday on the street, Someone called out your name, Someone thought that you were me, Last night there was a party, I could not go, I walked around it, I thought about it, All night long, Today there is a newspaper, About you and me, And the day we were married, The same day. The same day they fell in love, The same day they died in love. I did not want you to die alone, Rusty river run down, Run, run as fast as you can, oh run, Rusty river run ragged, And drag my lover's self back to me, I'll meet him there, Water and air.

I've been a moonshiner For seventeen long years I spent all my money on whisky and beer I go to some hollow And set up my holy holy still If drinking do not kill me Then I don't know what will I go to some bar room And drink with my friends If women and men would come to follow To see what I might spend God bless them handsome men I wish they was mine They're breath is as sweet as The dew on the holy holy vine You're already in hell, you're already in hell I wish we could go to hell When the bottle gets empty Then life ain't worth a damn You May Know Him Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him And then he came to life and he lived All others strange because who could of thought That you meant so much to me Oh Lord heaven is the name that you gave him Surprised by the rise in sin you came through over and over again Lord heaven is the place that you sent him And you may know him And you may know him only you Lord i've never doubted for an instant If we did what you say And we do it everyday If we did what you say And we do it everyday Lord if heaven is the place he believed in it's all you can do Oh Lord heaven is the name that you sent me Oh Lord surprised by the rise in sin you came through You came through Colors & the Kids It must be the colors And the kids That keep me alive 'Cause the music is boring me to death It must just be the colors And the kids that keep me alive 'Cause I wanna go right away To a January night I built a shack with an old friend He was someone I could learn from Someone I could become Will you meet me down On a sandy beach?

The Covers Record
(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
( The Rolling Stones, "Out of Our Heads" LP ) When I'm drivin' in my car And the man come on the radio He's tellin' me more and more About some useless information Tryin' mess my imagination When I'm watchin' my TV And a man comes on to tell me How white my shirts can be But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke The same cigarettes as me When I'm ridin' around the globe And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that And I'm tryin' to make some boy Baby, baby, baby, come back 'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak When I'm ridin' a round the globe And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that And I'm tryin' And I'm tryin'
Kingsport Town
( Bob Dylan, "The Bootleg Series" Box Set )
The winter wind Is blowing so strong My hands have got No gloves Wish to my sole That I could have The boy I'm dreaming of Don't you remember me, babe I remember you quite well Caused me to leave All of New York town With a high sheriff on my tail A high sheriff on my tail, boys, High sheriff on my trail. All because I've fallen for A curly headed dark-eyed boy Who's gonna stroke Your coal black hair And your sandy colored skin? Who's gonna walk you side by side And tell you everything is alright? Who's gonna look You straight in the eye And hold your bad luck hand? Who's gonna walk you? Who's gonna talk to you And who's gonna be your woman? The winter wind Is blowing so strong My hands have got No gloves Don't you remember me, babe? I remember you quite well

Troubled Waters
( Michael Hurley, "Armchair Boogie" LP )
I must be One of the devil's daughters They look at me with scorn I'll never hear their horn Sometimes It's like being in chains Sometimes I hang my head In shame When people see me They scandalize my name I'm going down To the devil's water I'm gonna drown In that troubled water It's coming 'round my soul It's way beyond control I must be one I must be one I must be One of the devil's daughters They look at me with scorn I'll never hear their horn Sometimes it's like Being in chains Sometimes I hang my head In shame When people see me They scandalize my name I'm going down To the devil's water I'm gonna drown In that troubled water It's coming 'round my soul It's way beyond control I must be one I must be one I must be

Naked if I Want To
( Moby Grape, "Moby Grape" LP )
Would you let me walk down your street Naked if I want to? Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July? Can I buy an amplifier, oh, on time? My sweet time Well I ain't got no money I will pay this time And I ain't got no money But I will pay you before I die And would you let me walk down your street Naked if I want to? Can I fire fireworks on the fourth of every single July? Can I buy an aeroplane while i'm high in all the sky? And I got no mercy I will pay this time And I got no mercy I will pay you before I die

You wash them clothes Swee dee dee And hang 'em on the line I can see by the way You wash them clothes Your cookin' must be fine I'm with you in the morning 'Til the break of day And I know everybody Has a little hard luck Sometimes And I know lately I've been havin' mine We used to live In a fleabag apartment You know the kind And he come home and he'd say to me "We gotta leave, leave, leave the city" You wash them clothes Swee dee dee And hang 'em on the line I can see by the way you wash them clothes Your cookin' must be fine I'm with you in the morning Untill the break of day I know everybody Has a little hard luck Sometimes I know lately I've been havin' mine.
In This Hole
( Cat Power, "What Would the Community Think?" LP )
In this hole we have fixed We get further and further and further Further from the world We must do We must do I saw you asleep beside a wall Your skull inside the wall Your mind blackened by All the thought of God One absence of truth One horrible thing you saw What you truly wanted to become And who you thought I was Who you thought I was In this hole we have fixed We get further and further Further from the world We must do We must do I saw you outside that wall The skull outside that wall Your mind finally free And all the thoughts you thought And all the thought of God
I Found a Reason

Wild Is the Wind
( Nina Simone, "Wild is the Wind" LP )
Love me, love me Say you do Let me fly away With you We're creatures of the wind Wild is the wind Give me more than one caress To satisfy this hungryness We're creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins Like a leaf clings to a tree Baby please cling to me We're creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins And you kiss me With your kiss my life begins Love me, love me Say you do Let me fly away With you
Red Apples
( Smog, "Red Apple Falls" LP )
I went down to the river To meet the widow She gave me an apple And it was red I slept in her black arms For a century She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return The ghost of her husband Beautiful as a horse Pulled up an apple cart Full of millions of red apples for us Full of millions of red apples for us I went down to the river To meet the widow She gave me an apple And it was red I slept in her black arms For a century She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return I went down to the river To meet the widow
Paths of Victory
( Bob Dylan, outtake from "The Times They Are A-Changin'" Sessions )
The trail is dark and dusty The road is kinda rough But the clearer road up yonder With the cinders on the side. Trails of troubles And your roads of battle, They lead paths of victory We shall walk I walked down to the valley Turned my head up high. Seen that silver linin' That was hangin' in the sky Trails of troubles And your roads of battle, They lead paths of victory We shall walk The mountain was a movin' The hummin' of its wheels, Told me of the new day it was coming across the fields Trails of troubles And your roads of battle, They lead paths of victory We shall walk The gravel road is bumpy, It's a hard old road to ride, But the good road is a-waitin' And the boys it ain't far off. Trails of troubles And your roads of battle, They lead paths of victory We shall walk

You are Free
I Don't Blame You
Last time I saw you, you were on stage Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright And you were in a rage You were swinging your guitar around Cause they wanted to hear that sound But you didn’t want to play And I don’t blame you I don't blame you Been around the world, in many situations Been inside many heads in different positions But you never wanted them that way What a cruel price you thought That you had to pay them back For all that shit on stage But it never made sense to them anyway, Could you imagine when they turned their backs They were only scratching their heads 'Cause you simply deserve the best And I don’t blame you They said you were the best But then they were only kids Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in Just because they knew your name Doesn’t mean they know from where you came What a sad trick you thought that you had to play But I don’t blame you They never owned it And you never owed it to them anyway I don’t blame you

The old world, the whole world is Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit) A backhand to the touch is moving on again (forfeit the shape to fit) Going on and on (forfeit the shape to fit) What’s next, I’m out of time Losing my touch I can't feel Speak for me; do you see the same signs Do you know how to read between the lines All in all, it's all or none, all for one. What you want Going on and on

( Michael Hurley Cover ) Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf Comes stepping along He don’t even break the branches where he’s gone Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were a flying I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying Cryin’ nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes Cryin’ nobody know, nobody knows my pain When I see that it’s risen; that full moon again For the werewolf, for the werewolf, have sympathy For the werewolf, somebody like you and me And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play For the werewolf, for the werewolf, has sympathy For the werewolf, somebody like you and me

Fool
Apartment in New York, London and Paris Where will we rest, we’re all living on top of it It’s all that we have the USA is our daily bread And no one is willing to share it Why can’t we see our fortunancy Living as legends have lived Bane and dismannered We coax all the time Knowing that nothing is left when we die Come along Fool A direct hit of the senses you are disconnected It’s not that it’s bad…it’s not that it’s death It’s just on the tip of your tongue, and you're so silent Wanting to live and laugh all the time Sitting alone with you tea and your crime Children with kids, and people with parents Anywhich way there’s no past and no presence When the day comes and all of them bums Will reveal enchanting persons Come along... When it's a rut and baby's no luck Half of it's misunderstanding love The war we have won we're winning again Within ourselves and within our friends Come along...

The Greatest
*** Thanx a lot to Jon fot these lyrics ***
Once I wanted to be the greatest No wind of waterfall could stall me And then came the rush of the flood Stars of night turned deep to dust Melt me down Into big black armour Leave no trace of grace Just in your honor Lower me down To culprit south Make 'em wash a space in town For the lead And the dregs of my bed I've been sleepin' Lower me down Pin me in Secure the grounds For the later parade Once I wanted to be the greatest Two fists of solid rock With brains that could explain Any feeling Lower me down Pin me in Secure the grounds For the lead And the dregs of my bed I've been sleepin' For the later parade Once I wanted to be the greatest No wind of waterfall could stall me And then came the rush of the flood Stars of night turned deep to dust
Living Proof It's not your face Or the color of your hair Or the sound of your voice my dear That's got me dragged in here It's the ice in the seam, the scheme of you You're supposed to have the answer You're supposed to have living proof Yes I was jealous Because you are sworn How could you come undone to a word so strong My beating heart the anchor to a ship so warm You're supposed to have the answer You're supposed to have living proof Well I am your answer I am living Will you terrorize this With your perfect lips I watch you eat and feed this mess To the running wind But I know you from before and after until then Do you have your answer Do you have living proof Well I am your answer I am living You're supposed to have an answer You're supposed to have living proof Well do you have your answer Do you have your answer Well I am your answer I am living

Lived in Bars We've lived in bars And danced on the tables Hotels trains and ships that sail We swim with sharks And fly with aeroplanes in the air Send in the trumpets The marching wheelchairs Open the blankets and give them some air Swords and arches bones and cement The light and the dark of the innocent of men We know your house so very well And we will wake you once we've walked up All your stairs There's nothing like living in a bottle And nothing like ending it all for the world We're so glad you will come back Every living lion will lay in your lap The kid has a homecoming the champion the horse Who's going to play drums, guitar or organ with chorus As far as we've walked from both ends of sand Never have we caught a glimpse of this man We know your house so very well And we will bust down your door if you're not there We've lived in bars And danced on tables Hotels trains and ships that sail We swim with sharks And fly with aeroplanes out of here Out of here, out of here Out of here, out of here Could We Could we Take a walk Could we Have a talk alone In the afternoon Could we Have a seat Why yes be my guest You can hold my hand What a dream In the grass We kissed Fell in love too fast too soon Love full bloom Should we get up Let's wake up Let's get dressed I'll let you walk me up the street Back home Thank you It was great Let's make another date Real soon In the afternoon Empty Shell All that is left is an empty shell Of my heart that is crushed I don't never wanna see What my mind has seen When you loved me Every night every night alone with you Every night alone now When she sits on your lap Try to pretend to laugh When she does stupid things Just like I used to do Do not hate her Don't you even try For to leave her is to love her The same as you and I I love you And I miss you too I really do love you And I really do miss you too But I don't know you And I don't need you And I don't want you anymore anymore Every night every night alone with you Every night alone now Willie Have you seen him Have you seen him Have you seen him Have you seen him Have you seen him Have you seen him Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca They knew that they loved one another Gonna have a real good time No more sad, sad bad times It's all they've been waiting for Someone to knock at that door Willie was shot once in his mind And his cry out saved his own life The second time was through his heart The doctors pulled the bullet from inside He had a job to do he said That's his way of life Please don't bring him down Please don't let him go He's on the same side as you He's just a little behind I tell you there are some people living alone I tell you there are some people with nowhere to go There are some people who don't believe in love But Willie and Rebecca prove 'em all wrong A man named John wrote a song for me to sing And the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen He is a very good man And he has been an even very good man to me I hope one day his song I will sing Another love I still love Familiar face to me A standing arch above my heart I've never been to reach He's laid my head on the bed And told me sweetly I am not Crazy like all the others said No he's not crazy like me Please don't bring me down Please don't let me go My heart is a worried thing Memories have now planted seeds of a field I now Want to reap and sow I'm on the same side as you I'm just a little behind (have you seen him) Where Is My Love Where is my love Where is my love Horses galloping Bring him to me Where is my love Where is my love Horses running free Carrying you and me Where is my love Where is my love Safe and warm So close to me In my arms Finally There is my love There is my love Horses galloping Bring him in to me Where is my love Where is my love The Moon The moon is not only beautiful It is so far away The moon is not only ice cold It is here to stay When I lay me down Will you still be around When they put me six feet underground Will the big bad beautiful you be around Everyone says they know you Better than you know who Everyone says they own you More than you do When I lay me down Will you still be around When they put you six feet underground Will the big bad beautiful moon be around 'Cause the moon is not only beautiful It is so far away The moon is not only ice cold It is here to stay Everyone says they know you Better than you know who Everyone says they own you More than you do Islands I want to rule the islands And I want to rule the sea But if you're not coming back I will sleep eternally I don't want no heavy diamonds And pearls crush my teeth I just want my sailor To sail back to me The captain has a treasure Says I hold the key But the old mangroves And sweet winds blow Songs of you and me I want to rule the islands And I want to rule the sea But if you're not coming back I will sleep eternally After It All After it all When it's said and done Will you come back to me And tell me that It never was up to you or up to me When you stand up so tall With your back to me against the wall And you make demands with your angry eyes You say you're sorry that you Didn't mean to scream you say You're back again that you still love me And that you never meant what you said to me Should I believe what you're telling me To wait for you Was all I could do To have you back with me so peacefully You broke your back You left your scratch Then you came back to me Just to get some sleep. After it all When it's said and done Will you come back to me And tell me that It never was up to you or up to me Hate Anyone can tell you there's no more road to ride Everyone will tell you there's no place to hide There's no laws or rules to unchain your life But the ones who didn't make it The ones who couldn't take it So glad they have made it out alive Everyone loves the fun everyone comes by In the wind I crunch I want to die They can give me pills Or let me drink my fill The heart wants to explode far away Where nobody knows Do you believe she said that Do you believe she said that I said I hate myself and I want to die Half of it is innocent The other half is wise The whole damn thing makes no sense I wish I could tell you a lie Hey come here Let me whisper in your ear I hate myself and I want to die Do you believe she said that Can you believe she repeated that I said I hate me myself and I I said I hate myself and I want to die Love and Communication Love and communication you were here for me At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone You called me And you were not hunting me Learning more and more about less and less and less On the edge of your seat in some dark movie Can you memorize the scenes They'll be different next week Can you tell me can you tell can you tell If there's something better 'Cause you know there always is There always is Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have Come along for the ride you just know you should You just know you should Can you tell can you tell can you tell If there's something better 'Cause you know there always is There always is Hated to see you sad when I left There's just no good in that but the good part was That I came out at all 'cause I don't venture out Into the lives of the new I want you to come along for the ride How long will you stay for your whole life You just know you should Can you tell me can you tell can you tell If there's something better 'Cause you know there always is There always is Love and communication you were here for me At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone You called me And you were not hunting me

New York ( Frank Sinatra ) Start spreading the news I'm leaving today I want to be a part of it New York, New York These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it New York, New York I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep To find the cream of the crop at the top of the heap These little town blues are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere New York It's up to you New York Ramblin' (Wo)man ( Hank Williams ) Well I love you baby But you got to understand When the Lord made me He made a ramblin' woman He made me, he made me Some folks Some folks might say that I’m no good That I wouldn’t settle down if I could I love to see the towns go crawling by There's something I’ve got to do Before I die I love you baby But you got to understand When the Lord made me He made a ramblin' woman He made me, he made me Some people say That I do just fine Cause I hear sweet song Moving down And when that old southern train comes calling me There's something over the hill I just got to see Well I love you I love you baby But you've got to understand When the Lord made me He made me He made a ramblin' woman He made me, he made me Now when I'm gone When I'm gone and at my grave you stand Just say God's called home your ramblin' woman I love you I love you baby But you've got to understand He made a ramblin' woman He made me Metal Heart Losing the star without a sky Losing the reasons why You're losing the calling that you've been faking And I'm not kidding It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo Oh hidy hidy hidy what do you trying to prove By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing Sew your fortunes on a string And hold them up to light Blue smoke will take A very violent flight And you will be changed And everything And you will be in a very sad sad zoo I once was lost But now I'm found was blind But now I see you How selfish of you To believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming Metal heart you're not hiding Metal heart you're not worth a thing Metal heart you're not hiding Metal heart you're not worth a thing You're not worth a thing You're not worth a thing Silver Stallion ( Highwayman ) I'm gonna steal a silver stallion With not a mark upon his silky hide Teach him he can trust me like a sister One day we'll saddle up and ride And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride Ride like the one eyed jack Of diamonds with the devil close behind We're gonna ride, we're gonna ride I'm gonna find me a reckless man Razor blades and dice in his eyes Just a touch of sadness in his fingers Thunder and lightening in his thighs And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride Ride like the one eyed jack Of diamonds with the devil close behind We're gonna ride, we're gonna ride I'm gonna chase the sky forever With the man and the stallion and the wind The sun is gonna burn into a cinder Before we ever pass this way again And we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride Ride like the one eyed jack Of diamonds with the devil close behind We're gonna ride, we're gonna ride Aretha, Sing One For Me ( George Jackson ) Me and my baby, we had a big fight We ended our romance the same night In an angry mood, he walked out the door I said this song's going to an Aretha Franklin show Hey, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know our life's in misery Will you sing a song that will touch his heart And make him sorry that we are apart I don't know if taking requests is part of your show Do me this favor and I'll love you forever Many romances have been saved by your sound You've touched so many lovers, so many times Yes, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know my life's in misery Will you sing a song that will touch his heart And make him sorry that we ever parted "Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters", And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You".

( Peel Acres 2001 ) Good friends come on in The party's about to begin We can wrestle down to the floor Throw empty bottles out the door They'll smash and we will laugh What a gas we have had The light from the window Casts our dancing shadows Music from the back room Is an old song we all know Through shining eyes and smiling faces We all sing along (It's) been so long since I've seen you My good friends This memory daydream Is good enough for me If you were here today We'd be getting into frisky business Maybe some of the daydream memory

Better call the ships They've been caught sailing Better call the captain He’s been caught stealing Better call the porter man He’s been caught leaving Better call all the guys on the deck They’ve been caught with no feeling Better call the fisherman 'Cause they’re coming on land Better call the head nurse Wrap us up, to throw us in the dark Better call with some resistance Better way to feel no shame Better call with some persistence That way you feel nothing at all Better call on evolution Better way to make a revolution Better make your mind up quick Better make your mind up quick *** Thanx a lot to Sgallagher for this one ***
("Night Time" lyrics writen by Alex Chilton / "Back of Your Head" music written by Chan Marshall) Night time let's go out and see the people Everythin' is cool and goin' my way People to see Oh the people to me When I set my eyes on you When I set my eyes on you Look like a kiddie When you move Oh you're so pretty Caught a glance of your eye
Sophisticated lady
Smoking, drinking, never thinking With some men in a restaurant Is it all you really want? no Sophisticated lady You miss the love you lost
*** Thanx a lot to Brandon who corrected this one ***
I don’t blame you
Last time I saw you, you were on stage Your hair was wild, your eyes were red You were swinging your guitar around 'Cause they wanted to hear that sound But you didn’t want to play I don’t blame you I don’t blame you Been around the world, in many situations Been inside many heads in different positions But you never wanted them that way What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay And that for all that shit on stage But it never made sense to them anyway Could you imagine if when they turned their backs They said you were the best But then they were only kids Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in Just because they knew your name Doesn’t mean they know from where you came What a sad trick you thought that you had to play But I don’t blame you They never owned it And you never ever owed it to them anyway I don’t blame you I don’t blame you

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca They knew that they loved one another He said fuck this cabby life She said fuck this old trailer He said I want you for my wife Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca They saw the same things at once They shared the kind of stuff everybody dreams of Finding out about, it's all about love Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca They got a few more years to go Gonna have some good old times No more sad, sad bad times It's all that they've been waiting for Someone to knock at that door I tell you there are some people living alone There are some people with nowhere to go There are some people who don't believe in love But Willie and Rebecca prove 'em all wrong First time I saw him he smiled at me And the first time I saw her she was beautiful Sixty-two plus forty-six equals one hundred and eight Possible years they'll live long to That's almost half of the rest of his life That's over half for her Willie was shot once in his mind His cry out saved his life The second time was through the heart The doctor pulled the bullet from inside He had a job to do, he thought That's his way of life To take that car and pick her up To be a man for her Broken down and cut in two She had been married for most her life Now she's finally free for awhile Long enough to see this man and what he means When he tells her that God in on his side No matter what, and will you marry me Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca They want to live a life I wish I had a million dollars So we could throw it all away I wish I had a million dollars So we could light it aflame I wish I had one million dollars So we could spend it every day I'm on the same side as you I'm just a little bit behind And please don't bring me down Please don't let me go I'm looking for a new kind of thing A place that makes my heart sing Another question answered from above Please don't let it worry you now Please don't let it worry you now I've seen inside your heart and soul It's beautifully jacketed An open hand and a mind to lend There's nothing more romantic Than a distant place behind your smile Tells my eyes that I am coming home Please don't bring me down Please don't let me go My heart is a worried thing Memories have planted Seeds of a field I now want to reap and sow Maybe when i'm sixty-two, maybe when i'm forty-six Maybe when i'm thirty maybe the next time I see you We will have our universe for the first time, again Rings around our sweet friendship Will tear up in into a run Galloping forever more until tomorrow is gone I deeply say to you now I deeply say to you now I deeply say to you now There's another question answered from above You're the kind of friend of mine I never had You're the kind of love I had that I never thought there was Saint saint saint saint Augustine Far far far away Georgie Koontz (?) We gotta stake this thing out We gotta laugh the whole day through We gotta live the way that we want to As long as God is willing, I am too And as long as you are here, I am too As long as he and she can forgive and love again and still love us too You take my heart and you give it to me You show me love i've never seen You take my heart and give it to me When Dylan sang Ramona in the taxi that night I knew it right away would either be hard or be right 'Cause I'm not Ramona, and you didn't write that song 'Cause you're not Dylan, and I know we really do get along Get along and get on with what it is you got to do Go on get along with whome'er you choose This is your life But if God is willing, then I'm willing too, oh I'll be in the front, back and side of you Just many happily waiting for you Saint saint saint saint saint Augustine Far away far way Georgie Koontz (?)

White Mustang (Lana Del Rey) Packing all my things for the summer Lying in my bed, it's a bummer 'Cause you didn't call But I liked you a lot Slipping on my dress in soft filters Everybody said you are the killer But I couldn't stop the way I was feeling that night you dropped me off Saw your white Mustang slip away Saw your white Mustang And you were moving on and on Caught up in my dreams and forgetting I keep acting like Armageddon 'cause I held you in my arms just a little too tight Is that what you thought Summer's meant for loving and leaving I'm a fool and it's time for me to change Gone with his white Mustang (white Mustang) It's almost frighting (white Mustang) They always hit me like lightning (white Mustang) And then go on (white Mustang) That girl with thе bow-tied side looker got high Had to tеll you a lie of what I thought You said you'd be on my side You were just another schoolboy, but then, I was a liar Just what you thought Did you hold me just a little too tight What were the tears in your eyes Just what you thought was a lie Summer's meant for loving and leaving He's the fool, I'm the fool, it's time for me to change He'll keep calm with his white Mustang (white Mustang) It's gonna be exciting (white Mustang) I'm gonna hit him hard like lightning (white Mustang) And I'll be gone (white Mustang) White Mustang White Mustang A Pair Of Brown Eyes (The Pogues) One summer evening, drunk to hell Stood there nearly lifeless An old man in the corner sang "Where the Water Lilies Grow" And on the jukebox Johnny sang About a thing called love And it's how are you kid And what's your name And how would you bloody know In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground And the arms and legs of other men Were scattered all around Some cursed, some prayed Some prayed then cursed Then prayed and bled some more And the only thing that I could see Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me But when we got back, labeled parts one to three There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me And a roving, a roving, a roving I'll go And a roving, a roving, a roving I'll go And a roving, a roving, a roving I'll go For a pair of brown eyes I looked at him, he looked at me All I could do was hate him While Ray and Philomena sang Of my elusive dreaming I saw the streams, the rolling hills Where his brown eyes were waiting And I thought about a pair of brown eyes That waited once for me So drunk to hell I left the place Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking A hungry sound came through the breeze So I gave the walls a talking And I heard the sounds of long ago From the old canal The birds were whistling in the trees Where the wind was gently laughing And a roving, a roving, a roving I'll go And a roving, a roving, a roving I'll go And a roving, a roving, a roving I'll go For a pair of brown eyes Pair of brown eyes
Against The Wind (Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band) It seemed like yesterday But it was so long ago, long ago Jimmy was lovely, was the king of my nights And the darkness with the radio playing low The secrets that we shared The mountains that we moved Caught like wildfire Against the wind We were running against the wind We were running against the wind The years rolled out, I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers, I thought were my friends It took all I own Found myself running from my home Guess I lost my way Oh therе were so many roads I was living to run and running to live Against thе wind Against the wind We were young and strong And always on the run Against the wind Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all the rules that would bend I found myself searching for shelter again Against the wind Against the wind And we were running again and again And we're young and strong I'm a little older now, but I'm still running Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind We're young and strong Again, against the wind Endless Sea (Iggy Pop) Oh baby, what a place to be In the service of the bourgeoisie Can my believers be I wanna jump into the endless sea The endless sea The endless sea Above us, dirty sky Full of youths and liquors A little girl, a little guy Said, "Can't get much thicker" The endless sea The endless sea Let it wash over me The endlеss sea The endlеss sea Let it wash over me These Days (Nico) I've been out walking I don't do too much talking these days These days These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to I stopped my rambling I don't do too much gambling these days These days These days I seem to think about all the changes Came about my way And I wonder if I'll see another highway I had a lover I don't think I'll risk another these days These days And if I seem to be afraid To live life I've made in song It's just that I've been losing So long I stopped my dreaming I won't do too much scheming these days These days These days I sit on cornerstones Count the time in quarter tones to ten Please, don't confront me with my failures I had not forgotten them These days These days These days It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels (Kitty Wells) It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married men think they're still single That has caused many a good girl to go wrong It's a shame that all the blame is on us women It's not true that only you men feel the same From the start most every heart that's ever broken Was because there always was a man to blame It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels As you said in the words of your song Too many times married people think they're still single And that has caused many a good girl to go wrong Go wrong I was alone You're on your own I Had A Dream, Joe (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) I had a dream, Joe I had a dream I opened my eyes Opened my eyes I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I had a dream, Joe I had a dream I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I had a dream, Joe I had a dream I had a dream, Joe I had a dream And my eyes I opеned my eyes I opеned my eyes Opened my eyes I had a dream, Joe I had a dream, and all I had a dream, Joe And you know why You were standing in the open Your hands to the sky Your mouth in foam And needles Fell in leaves Finger at me Finger at me, pointing at me I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I had a dream, Joe I had a dream I had a dream I had a dream And then a giant Pacing the boards Your cards and letters Stacked up knocking at the door I opened my eyes I opened my eyes I opened my eyes And there you were I opened my eyes You opened your eyes You opened your eyes We had a dream, Joe We had a dream, Joe We had a dream We had a dream, Joe We had a dream Here Comes A Regular (The Replacements) Well, a person can work up a mean, mean thirst After a hard day of nothing much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall Sometimes I just ain't in the mood To take my place in the back with the hard knocks Like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food I used to live at home, now I stay in the house And everybody wants to be special here I call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only onе here today Well, a drinking buddy that's bound to anothеr town Once the police made you go away And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby, now I'll take a great big whiskey to you anyway And everybody wants to be someone's here Someone's gonna show up, never fear 'Cause here comes a regular Call out your name Here comes a regular Am I the only one who feels ashamed Kneeling along sad, old set eyes He says, "Opportunity knocks once, then the door slams shut" All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts First the lights, then the collar goes up and the wind begins to blow Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow Ain't much to

I'll Be Seeing You (Billie Holiday) I'll be seeing you All the old familiar places This heart of mine embraces All day through In the small cafe In the park across the way The children's carousel Chestnut trees, the wishing well I'll be seeing you Every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon I'll be seeing you I'll be seeing you Every lovely summer's day And everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon I'll be seeing you I'll be seeing you I'll be under the same old moon I'll be seeing you I'll be seeing you I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you

Fourth Time Around When she said "Don't waste your words, they're just lies" I cried she was deaf She worked on my face until breaking my eyes Then said, "What else you got left" It was then that I got up to leave But she said, "Don't forget Everybody must give something back For something they get" I stood there and hummed I tapped on her drum I asked her, "How come" She buttoned her boot And straightened her suit Then she said, "Don't be cute" So I forced my hands in my pockets And felt with my thumbs And gallantly handed her My very last piece of gum She threw me outside I stood in the dirt where everyone walked But when finding out, I'd forgotten my shirt I went back and knocked Waited in the hallway, she went to get it And tried to make sense Out of that picture of you in your wheelchair That leaned up against Her Jamaican rum And when she did come, I asked her for some She said, "No, dear" I said, "Your words are not clear You'd better spit out your gum" She screamed till her face got so red Then she fell on the floor I covered her up And then went and looked through her drawer And when I was through I filled up my shoe And brought it to you And you, you took me in You loved me then You did not waste time And I, I never took much I never asked for your crutch Now don't ask for mine Visions Of Johanna Ain't it just like the night To play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind In the empty lot where the ladies play Blind man's bluff with the key chain And the all-night girls, they whisper of escapades out on the D train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight And ask himself if it's him or them, that's really insane Louise, she's all right, she's just near She's delicate, she seems like the mirror She just makes it all too concise and too clear That Johanna's not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He's sure got a lotta gall To be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall While I'm in the hall How can I explain It's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial Voices echo, "This is what salvation must be like after a while" Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When all the jelly-faced women sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeez, I can't find my knees" Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel The peddler now speaks to the countess Who's pretending to care for him Saying, "Name me someone that's not a parasite And I'll go out and say a prayer for him" But like Louise always says "You can't look at much, can you, man" As she herself prepares for him And Madonna still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes everything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain It's All Over Now, Baby Blue You must leave now Take what you need you think will last But whatever you wish to keep You better grab it fast Yonder stands your orphan with his gun Crying like a fire in the sun Look out, saints are coming through And it's all over now, baby blue The highway is for gamblers Better use your sense Take what you have gathered from coincidence The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets The sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, baby blue All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home All your reindeer armies are all going home Your lover, who just walked out the door Has taken all his blankets from the floor The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, baby blue Leave your stepping stones behind Something calls for you Forget the debt you've left They'll not follow you The vagabond, who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, baby blue Desolation Row They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor's filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad, they're restless They need somewhere to go As lady and I look out tonight From desolation row Cinderella, she seems so easy It takes one to know one, I guess And puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style And in comes Romeo, he's moaning "You belong to me, I believe" And someone ? and says to him "My friend, you better leave" And the only sound that's left After the ambulances go Is Cinderella sweeping up On desolation row The moon is almost hidden The stars are beginning to hide The fortunetelling lady Has even taken all her things inside All except for Cain and Abel And the hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody is even making love or else expecting rain And the good samaritan, he's dressing He's getting ready for the show He's going down to the carnival tonight On desolation row Ophelia, she's 'neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid Now to her death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion Her sin is her lifelessness And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow She spends her time peeking Into desolation row Einstein disguised as Robin Hood With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, some jealous monk He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette Then he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet Now you would not think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On desolation row Dr. Filth, he keeps his world Locked inside of a leather cup But all his sexless patients They're trying to blow it up Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read "Have mercy on his soul" They all play on the pennywhistles You can hear them blow If you lean your head out far enough From desolation row 'Cross the street, they've nailed the curtains They're getting ready for the feast The Phantom of the Opera In a perfect image of a priest They're spoon-feeding Casanova To get him to feel more assured Then they'll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls "Get outta here if you don't know Casanova, he's just being punished now for going To desolation row" Midnight, all the agents And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do Then they bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that nobody is escaping To desolation row Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn Everybody's shouting "Which side are you on" And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot Fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And nobody has to think too much About desolation row Yes, I received your letter yesterday About the time the door knob broke When you asked me how I was doing Was that some kind of joke All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, they are quite lame I've had to rearrange their faces And give 'em all another name Right now I cannot read too well Don't send me no more letters, no Not unless you mail them From desolation row Just Like A Woman Nobody feels any pain Tonight as I stand in the rain Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes But lately I've seen her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls She takes just like a woman, yes She makes love just like a woman, yeah she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl Queen Mary, she's my friend Yes, I believe I'll go see her again Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed Till she finally sees that she's like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls She takes just like a woman, yes And she makes love just like a woman, yeah she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl It was raining from the first I was dying there of thirst So I came in here And your long-time curse hurts But what's worse Is this pain in here I can't stay in here Ain't it clear That I just can't fit Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit When we meet again, introduced by friends Please, don't let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world You fake just like a woman, yes, you do You make love just like a woman, yes, you do And you ache just like a woman But you break just like a little girl

understand, she let go of my hand And left me here facing the wall I'd sure like to know why she'd go But I can't get close to her at all Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime She said she would never forget Morning's clear, it's like I ain't here She acts like we never met It's all new to me Like some mystery It could even be a myth But it's hard to think on That she's the same one That last night I was with From darkness, dreams are deserted Am I still dreaming yet I wish she'd unlock Her voice once and talk 'Stead of acting like we never met If I didn't have to guess I'd gladly confess To anything I might've tried If I was with her too long Or have done something wrong I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run and hide And her skirt, it swayed as the guitar played Her mouth was watery and wet Now something's changed For she ain't the same She just acts like we never met I'm leaving today I'll be on my way Of this I can't say very much But if you want me to I can be just like you And pretend that we never have touched And if anybody asks me "Is it easy to forget" I'll say, "It's easily done You just pick anyone And pretend that you never have met" Baby, Let Me Follow You Down Baby, let me follow you down Baby, let me follow you down Well, I'll do anything in this God-almighty world If you just let me follow you down I'll buy you a diamond ring I'll buy you

you through Just don't put on any airs When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue They got some hungry women there And they'll really make a mess outta you Now if you see Saint Annie Please, tell her, "Thanks a lot" I cannot move, my fingers, they are all in a knot I don't have the strength To get up and take another shot And my best friend, my doctor Won't even say what it is I've got Sweet Melinda The peasants call her the goddess of gloom She speaks good English And she invites you up into her room And you're so kind and then careful Not to go to her too soon And she takes your voice And leaves you howling at the moon Up on Housing Project Hill It's either fortune or fame You must pick up one or the other Neither of them are to be what they claim If you're looking to get silly Better go back to where you came 'Cause the cops don't need you And man, they expect the same Now all the authorities They just stand around and boast How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms Into leaving his post Picking up Angel Who just arrived here from the coast She looked so fine at first But left looking just like a ghost I started out on Burgundy But soon hit the harder stuff Everybody said they'd stand behind me When the game got rough But the joke was on me There was nobody even there to bluff I'm going back to New York City I do believe I've had enough Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat Well, I see you got your brand-new leopard-skin pill-box hat Yes, I see you got your brand-new leopard-skin pill-box hat Well, you must tell me, baby How your head feels under something like that Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat Oh you look so pretty in it Honey, can I jump on it sometime Yes, I just wanna see If it's really that expensive kind You know it balances on your head Just like a mattress balances On a bottle of wine Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat Well, if you wanna see the sun rise Honey, I know where We'll go out and see it sometime We'll both just sit there and stare Me with my belt wrapped around my head And you just sitting there In your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat Well, I asked the doctor if I could see you "It's bad for your health," he said Yes, I disobeyed his orders, I came to see you But I found him there instead You know, I don't mind him cheating on me But I sure wish he'd take that off his head Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat Well, I see you got a new boyfriend You know, I never seen him before Yes, I saw you making love with him You forgot to close the door You might think he loves you for your money But I know what he really loves you for It's your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat One Too Many Mornings Down the street, the dogs are barking And the day is getting dark As the night comes a-falling The dogs, they lose their bark And the silent night will shatter From the sounds inside my mind As I'm one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind From the crossroads of my doorstep My eyes begin to fade And I turn my head back to the room Where my love and I have laid And I gaze back to the street The sidewalks and the sign Never know I'm one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind It's a restless hungry feeling It don't mean no one no good When everything that I'm saying You can say it just as good You were right from your side And I'm right from mine We're both just one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind, behind
Ballad Of A Thin Man Judas Jesus You walk into the room With a pencil in your hand You see somebody naked And you say, "Who is that man" You try so hard But you don't understand Just what you will say When you get home Because something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You raise up your head And you ask, "Is this where it is" And somebody points to you and says "It's his" And you say, "What's mine" And somebody else says, "Well, what is" And you say, "Oh my God Am I here all alone" Something is happening But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You hand in your ticket And you go watch the geek Who immediately walks up to you When he hears you speak And he says, "How does it feel To be such a freak" And you say, "Impossible" As he hands you a bone And something is happening here But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You have many contacts Among the lumberjacks To get you facts When someone attacks your imagination But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect you To all give a check To tax-deductible charity organizations You've been with the professors And they've all liked your looks With great lawyers you've Discussed lepers and crooks You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books You're very well read It's well known But something is happening here And you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones The sword swallower comes up to you And then he kneels He crosses himself And then he clicks his high heels And without further notice He asked you how it feels And he says, "Here is your throat back Thanks for the loan" You know something is happening But you don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones Now you see this one-eyed midget Shouting the word "now" And you say, "For what reason" And he says, "How" And you say, "What does this mean" He screams back, "You're a cow Give me some milk Or else go home" And you don't know what's happening You don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones You walk into the room Like a camel and then you frown You put your eyes in your pocket And your nose on the ground There ought to be a law Against you coming around You should be made To wear earphones 'Cause something is happening You don't know what it is Do you, Mister Jones
Like A Rolling Stone Once upon a time you dressed so fine You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you People'd call, say, "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall" You thought they were all kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody that was hanging out Now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging For your next meal How does it feel How does it feel To be without a home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone You've gone to the finest school, Miss Lonely But you know you only used to get juiced in it Nobody ever taught you how to live out on the street Now you're just gonna have to get used to it You seem you'd never compromise With the mystery tramp, but now you realize He ain't selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes And you say, "Do you wanna make a deal" How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home A complete unknown Like a rolling stone You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns When they all did tricks for you You never understood that it ain't no good You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people They're all drinking, thinking that they got it made Exchanging all precious gifts But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it, baby You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal How does it feel How does it feel To be on your own With no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone
Non Albums Tracks A Kind of Peace
( Faithless ft. Cat Power | To All New Arrivals LP ) Being here in the darkness, starless sky It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive And the world is mine and no one else sees With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace It's a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace , it's a kind of peace With the years doors have been locked and windows closed And the things I'm sure I knew are no longer due But I see comfort in my home, in my heart To make a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace And above me, if there is nothing and no one knew I really care It's just a now, a now I prefer, not the future (and) not the past So put the chairs to one side and let us dance It's a strange kind of peace It's a kind of peace, it's a strange kind of peace It's a kind of peace Being here in the darkness, starless sky It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive And the world is mine and no one else sees With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace It's a kind of peace

Breathless ( Nick Cave / Jukebox Bonus EP ) It's up in the morning And on the downs Little white clouds Like gambolling lambs And I am breathless over you And the red-breasted robin beats his wings His throat it trembles when he sings For he is helpless before you The happy hooded bluebells bow And bend their heads all a-down Heavied by the early morning dew At the whispering stream At the bubbling brook The fishes leap up to take a look For they are breathless over you Still your hands And still your heart For still your face Comes shining through And all the morning glows anew Still your mind Still your soul For still the fare of love is true And I am breathless without you The wind circles among the trees And it bangs about the new-made leaves For it is breathless without you The fox chases the rabbit round Little rabbit hides beneath the ground For he, he's defenceless without you The sky of daytime dies away And all the earthly things they stop to play For we are all breathless without you I listen to my juddering bones And the blood in my veins And the wind in my lungs And I am breathless without you Still your hands And still your heart For still your face Comes shining through And all the morning glows anew Still your mind Still your soul For still the fire of your love is true And I am breathless without you And I am breathless without you And I am breathless without you
Bully
Boy, you are a bully Through the grass and the river you chase You were cruel, you were so mean Laughing right in my face All the while you had my back, my best friend I could still feel that smile on my face Twenty-seven was a good year, the best At the back of the bar, watching me dance in a dress Remember that night in Paris, all those candles you lit I could never forget You and all the alcohol Sleeping on the street, sleeping on a train Looking like a crook with a cane You'd come back home with a twist of your tongue And a devilish smile on your face I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake When you got sick You were through with fun and games And now that the times have all changed I can't find you, I can't see your face I can't pretend I have a wish That would put you back into place Nothing could be done With this young, wild son Standing in the street with the hospital sheet On the run from the police That dumb girl on your arm And that look on your face And all those crazy things you said to me Looking glass mirror Looking past our fear I used to find you running away With a smile on your face I used to find you running away With a smile on my face Everything we have to go through With a smile on our face Everything we now know With a smile on our face There must just be something that keeps it away Must be something special that keeps you away

Come On In My Kitchen
( Live Peel Session 2000 / Robert Johnson )
The woman I love Took from my best friend, Some joker got lucky, Stole her back again. You better come on In my kitchen Where there's got to be raining outdoors. Oh she's gone I know she won't come back I take the last nickel I won't ever sack You better come on In my kitchen Where there's got to be raining outdoors. When a woman gets in trouble Everybody throws her down Looking for her good friend No one can't be found You better come on In my kitchen Where there's got to be raining outdoors. Wintertime's coming It's gonna be slow You can't make the winter babe That's dry long soon You better come on In my kitchen 'Cause there's got to be raining outdoors.

Great Waves
( Dirty Three feat. Chan Marshall)
Last boat Stand in a river Muddy river How I love her Hawk flying Is fooling his folly Gas hurricanes spray Over Heaven Weeping willow Is bawling the light On fire Humans running for cover Wishing for life Gripping the light House lift up Trees lift up Cars intersect in the middle of the sky Old time before No pull No gravity on the ground Giving up, it's over The world's weight is over the limit Our bodies are exploding As the sky spills through our mouths All the blue blood is flowing The cities, its contents have been ripped out The world is gone Did you know it would last this long You made it to the dark, now you're gone You are gone Great waves Frozen in a secret space A great big place Dark-spilling universe Last boat Stand in the river

Johnny's Got a Gun
( Dead Moon )
You've crushed the resistence before it's begun Silenced the voices who've dared to confront Laying your hands upon all that you rule Becoming the man who you overtrew Now you better watch out 'Cause johnny's got a gun You've got all the armies You've got all the arms You've got all the armories The harbor's blockaded, the streets barricaded Every thought is under lock and key There's an idea rising that you can't detect From the same poor souls you say you protect There's a violent burning hatred in every mothers son You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun You've anchored your warships Cleared all the airstrips Readied the seeds to decay Stolen the youth to fill ranks in your troops Keeping rebellion at bay The fathers before you who now line the graves Are being remembered before it's too late And their sons you call rebels are coming one You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun The hour's upon you, the past will soon haunt you Yesterday becomes today The helpless, the hopeless, the lost ones, the homeless The weak can afford to be brave There's only much a poor man can take Before he no longer fears making mistakes If dying's the answer, then dying be done You better watch out, 'cause johnny's got a gun They've come from the country They've come from the country They've come from the country They've come from the country The city and shore They've come from the wind and the rain The come from the fires who's ashes are cold They come from the desert and snow They fear they'll be dying but more than that fear The cries of oppression that no ears can hear Until every last rebel surrenders or runs 'Cause johnny's got a gun

He was spinng faster faster faster faster When I came it was a God-given day Free old rebel Free the old rebel Let him go From the first city to the south-eastern bus station Seems so sad And since you can't spell "sad" Don't feel bad From the first city from to the loves we lost And the lives that we loved Rebel rebel Rebel you are The only ones Free the old rebel Free the old rebel Let him go
( Smog )
I went down to the river To meet the widow She gave me an apple It was red I slept in her black arms For a century She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return I gave her nothing in return The ghost of her husband Beautiful as a horse Pulled up an apple cart Full of millions of red apples For us

Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down Weighted Down (The Prison Song) lyrics written by Skip Spence Schizophrenia lyrics written by Thurston Moore Schizophrenia's Weighted Me Down music written by Chan Marshall
Weighted down by possessions Weighted down by the gun Waited down by the river for you to come And who socks were you darning, poor darling While I was away, away too long I went away to see an old friend of mine Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind She says "Jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin" She was half crazy and out of her mind Weighted down by possessions Weighted down with a gun Waiting down by the river for you to come Her light eyes were dancing she is insane Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain She keeps coming closer saying "I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home" Weighted down by possessions I'm weighted down with my gun I'm waiting down by the river for you to come.
She's Got You ( Patsy Cline / Jukebox Bonus EP ) I got your picture You give to me And it still looks the same From when you were here The only thing different The only thing new Is I've got your picture She's got you I've got your memory Or has it got me I really don't know But I know you won't let me be I've got the records We used to share And they still sound the same As when you were here The only thing different The only thing new I've got the records She's got you I've got his memories Or has they got me I really don't know Well I know it won't let me be I've got your class ring You gave to me And it still shines the way Whe you were here The only thing different The only thing new I've got these little things But she's got you I've got his memories Or has they got me I really don't know Well I know it won't let me be She's got you
She Loves You So Hard ( Live at KVRX austin on 10-03-98 )
Walking through woods in the streets every nights I walked into people who walk too close Into each other they're hanging so bright I am told as a mother you may remember her She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard The wonder the person to have you cannot Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher To put on your light and then turn around Ah ah ah! In the name of the father but never the ghost Me I need the money for those just as hard Who hung he said for the laidies I'll pretend That he did She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard The wonder the person to have you cannot Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher To put on your light and then turn around If there ever was a religious figure In my age it don't count to have butter cup house Silent machine is here to make sure To put on your light and then turn around You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie Ah ah ah!

Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again ( Bob Dylan Cover / I'm not there OST ) Oh, the ragman draws circles Up and down the block I'd ask him what the matter was But I know that he don't talk And the ladies treat him kindly And furnish him with tape, But deep inside his heart I know I can't escape Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley With his pointed shoes and his bells Speaking to some French girl Who says she knows him well And I would send a message To find out if she's talked But the post office has been stolen And the mailbox is locked Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Mona tried to tell me To stay away from the train line She said that all the railroad men Just drink up your blood like wine And he said, "Oh, I didn't know that, But then again, there's only one I've met And he just smoked my eyelids And punched my cigarette." Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Grandpa died last week And now he's buried in the rocks But everybody still talks about How badly they were shocked But me, I expected it to happen I knew he'd lost control When he built a fire on Main Street And shot it full of holes Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Now the senator came down here Showing everyone his gun Handing out free tickets To the wedding of his son And me, I nearly got busted And wouldn't it be my luck To get caught without a ticket And be discovered beneath a truck Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Now the preacher looked so baffled When I asked him why he dressed With twenty pounds of headlines Stapled to his chest But he cursed me when I proved it to him Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide You see, you're just like me I hope you're satisfied." Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Now the rainman gave me two cures Then he said, "Jump right in." The one was Texas medicine The other was just railroad gin And like a fool I mixed them And it strangled up my mind And now people just get uglier And I have no sense of time Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again When Ruthie says come see her In her honky-tonk lagoon Where I can watch her waltz for free 'Neath her Panamanian moon And he says, "Aw come on now, You must know about my debutante." And she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need But I know what you really want." Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again Now the bricks lay on Grand Street Where the neon madmen climb They all fall there so perfectly It all seems so well timed And here I sit so patiently Waiting to find out what price You have to pay to get out of Going through all these things twice Oh, Mama, can this really be the end To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again
The Ocean
( The Velvet Underground / Bellingham WA - 14-05-99 )
Here comes the ocean Here comes the ocean and the waves Oh there's a hollow hair Part of a figure head All over your head It nearly drive me crazy Here comes the ocean I am a lazy son I am a lazy son I never get things done It nearly drive me crazy
The Leopard & the Lamb
When the leopard And the lamb Sleeping hand in hand Hey come outside Let's make a memory Hey step outside Let's make a memory When the leopard And the lamb Sleeping hand in hand With the cold wind Blowing There's no way of knowing Just where we're going When the leopard And the lamb Sleeping hand in hand
The Werewolf Song (live version)
( Michael Hurley / Live) Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf Comes a steppin' along He don't even break the branches Where he's been gone You can hear his long holler from away 'cross the moor That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feelin' poor He goes out in the evenin' when the bats 're on the wing An' he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing For the werewolf, for the werewolf Have sympathy 'Cause the werewolf he is someone Just like you an' me Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were a flyin' All alone I saw the werewolf and the werewolf was cryin' Cryin' nobody, nobody, nobody knows How much I love the maiden as I tear off his cloths Cryin' nobody, nobody, knows of my pain When I see it has risen that full moon again When I see that moon movin' through the clouds in the sky I get a crazy feelin' an' I wonder why Oh the werewolf, Oh the werewolf Comes travelin' along He don't even break the branches Where he's been gone For the werewolf have pity, not fear, an' not hate 'Cause the werewolf might be someone that you've known of late Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf Comes travelin' along He don't even crush the leaves Where he's been gone

Working Class Hero (A Tribute To Marianne Faithfull / John Lennon cover / Cat Power & Iggy Pop) As soon as you're born, they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't keep functioning, so you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're all fucking peasants as far as I see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be There's room at the top, they're telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like all those folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be... Ye Auld Triangle ( The Pogues Cover / Dark end of the street EP ) A hungry feeling, came over me stealing And the mice were squealing in my prison cell And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Oh to start the morning with the warden bawling Get up out of bed you, and clean out your cell And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal The screw was peeping and the lag was sleeping As he lay weeping for his girl Sal And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal On a fine spring evening, the lag lay dreaming And the seagulls were wheeling high above the wall And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal Oh the wind was sighing, and the day was dying As the lag lay crying in his prison cell And that auld triangle, went jingle bloody jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal In the women's prison there are seventy women And I wish it was with them that I did dwell And that auld triangle, went jingle jangle All along the banks of the Royal Canal
