[Joe Walsh]

You wake up in the morning, get something for the pot

Wonder why the sun makes the rocks feel hot

Draw on the walls, eat, get laid

Back in the good old days

 

Then some damn fool invents the wheel

Listen to the whitewalls squeal

You spend all day looking for a parking spot

Nothing for the heart, nothing for the pot

 

Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

Oh how he wanted to talk to the people,

he wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow. Tune in New York

Listen tot the Welsh kid talk

Communicating like in the good old days

 

Forgive me father for I have sinned

It was either me or him

And a voice said Benny

You fucked the whole thing up

Benny your time is up

Your time is up

 

Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

He wanted to talk to the people

He wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow. Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk communicating

Like in the good old days

 

Forgive me Father

[Welsh Policeman:] Mobile One Two to Central.

For I have sinned

[Welsh Policeman:] We have a multiple on the A465

between Cwmbran and Cylgoch.

Father it was either me or him.

Father can we turn back the clock?

[Welsh Policeman:] Ambulance, over.

I never meant to drop the concrete block.

[Welsh Policeman:] Roger central, over and out.

 

Benny turned the dial on his Short Wave radio

He wanted to talk to the people

He wanted his own show

Tune in Moscow. Tune in New York

Listen to the Welsh kid talk

Just like in the good old days

The good old days

 

[Radio announcer:] Do you really think Iranian terrorists

would have taken Americans hostage if Ronald Reagan

were president? Do you really think the Russians

would have invaded Afghanistan if Ronald Reagan were

president? Do you really think third-rate military

dictators would laugh at America and burn our flag in

contempt if Ronald Reagan were president?

[Concerned Citizen:] Well, it might work!

[Hostage:] We as a group do most importantly want to beseech

President Reagan and our fellow Americans to refrain

from any form of military or violent means as an attempt,

no matter how noble or heroic, to secure our freedom.

 

[Concerned Citizen:] Sure! Only it's going to be mighty dangerous for you, Cassidy

 

[Hoppy's faithful sidekick:] Guess you don't know Hopalong Cassidy,

Mister. Adventure's his bread, excitement's his butter

and danger, why to him that's like strawberry jam to top it off.

[Pariah]

I woke up in a strange room

I'd never seen before

Weird paintings on the walls, mirrors on the ceilings

I bolted for the door

 

Looking for my Rent-a-car

Was the Cordoba blue or red?

Trying to remember where I put the keys

Trying to remember what I said

 

I pushed the fool button

My night went haywire

I pushed the full button

Set my brain on fire

 

I was sitting in the corner

Of a very laid back bar

A little three-piece band was playing on the stand

Not knowing what lay in store

 

In a flash, a man with a hat

And a harmonica stormed the stage

The crowd berserk, the band said, "What a jerk!"

As he went into a blues rampage

 

It was a fool palace

Double knit on parade

They pushed the fool button

As the skinny boy played and played

 

Push it

Push it

Push it!

 

Trying to make a point of protecting the innocent

But none of them can be found

It can happen any time, happen any place

It can happen in your own home town

 

So if you don't believe my words

Or think my story is true

Get a bottle of rum and an eskatrol

And watch the same thing happen to you

 

We'll push the fool button

I'll meet you in the bar

We'll push the fool button

Where everyone's a star

[Greywind]

Here I am. Broken wings, quiet thoughts, unspoken dreams.
Here I am. Alone again and I need her now to hold my hand.

She's all, she's all I ever had.
She's the air I breathe.
She's all, she's all I ever had

It's the way she makes me feel.
It's the only thing that's real.
It's the way she understands.
She's my lover, she's my friend.
And when I look into her eyes it's the way I feel inside.
Like the man I want to be.
She's all I ever need.

So much time, soo much pain (but) there's one thing that still remains.
(It's the) The way she cared the love we shared.
And through it all she's always been there.

She's all, she's all I ever had in a world so cold, so empty.
She's all, she's all I ever had.

It's the way she makes me feel.
It's the only thing that's real.
It's the way she understands.
She's my lover, she's my friend.
And when I look into her eyes it's the way I feel inside.
Like the man I want to be. She's all I ever need.

[Greywind]

Well, I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need.

She is life when I want to live
She's everything to me in life that life can give
She's my water when I need a drink
She's the first thought in my mind
Each time I try to think.

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need.

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in wintertime
And make a flower grow.

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
She's everything in life I'll ever need.

Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Well, I said friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got...

[Greywind]

Every time I think of you
It always turns out good
Every time I've held you
I thought you understood
People say a love like ours
Will surely pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last

But maybe I was wrong
Not knowing how our love should go
(How our love, how our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love, how our love would grow)
And every time I think of you
Every time
Every time I think of you
Every single time
It always turns out good

Seasons come and seasons go
But our love will never die
Let me hold you darling
So you won't cry
Cause people say that our love affair
Will never last
But we know a love like ours
Will never pass

People say a love like ours
Will surely pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last

But maybe I was wrong
Not knowing how our love should go
(How our love, how our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong
In knowing how our love would grow
(How our love, how our love would grow)

And every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
It always turns out good

Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you (every time)
Every time I think of you (think of you)
Every time I think of you (every time)
Every time I think of you (think of you)

[Greywind]

Ah! Leah!

Yeah, it's been a long, long time.
Such a site, you're lookin' better than a body has a right to.
Don't you know we're playin' with the fire?
But we can stop this burnin' desire, Leah!

Ah! Leah! Here we go again!
Ah! Leah! Is it ever gonna end?
Ah! Leah! Here we go again!
Ah! Leah!

I see your lips and I wonder who's been kissin' them.
I never knew how badly I was missin' them.
We both know we're never going to make it,
But when we touch, we never have to fake it, Leah!

Ah! Leah! Here we go again!
Ah! Leah! Is it ever gonna end?
Ah! Leah! Here we go again!
Ah! Leah! We ain't learned our lesson yet!

Baby, it's no good. We're just askin' for trouble.
I can touch you, but I don't know how to love you.
It ain't no use! We'er headed for disaster.
Our minds said, "No!" But our hearts were talkin' faster, Leah!

Ah! Leah! Here we go again!
Ah! Leah! Here we go again!
Ah! Leah! Leah, Leah, Leah!
Ah! Leah! Here we go again!

Ah! Leah, Leah, Leah!
Ah! Leah! We're never, ever, ever gonna make it yeah!
Ah! Leah!
Ah! Leah! Here we go again!

[Greywind]

I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough

You light up my face with your jokes and your smiles
And the way that you came here tonight
Don't know what you got
But I'm sure glad I found you
Could be wrong but it sure feels right

And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again

Surprised at myself for the way that I feel
So happy that you're here with me
Some women I've known
They've left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be

And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again

I was down for the count
I was down
I was beat
I was cryin'
I was cornered and hurt
I was hidin' my face
Sittin' there cryin'

I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself I'd get by without love
Drownin' my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
Kind of felt that I just had enough

And here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again.
Yes here I am
I'm back on my feet again
Here I am
I'm back on my feet again

[Greywind]

I saw him the other day
I saw him again...yesterday
I wonder if I'll ever see him again
He reminded me of Blue Denim

 

Blue-gray eyes...they change with the color...
Change with the sun...they run with the sight
They change with the wind...but they're always bright
Bright eyes...Blue Denim
Bright eyes...Blue Denim

 

I knew him another way
I knew him another day
In some ways he'd forgotten me
In many ways he got to me
I turned away so he couldn't see
I turned away...it could never be
I never thought he could walk away
But I lost him again...yesterday

 

Blue-gray eyes...they change with the color...
Change with the sun...they run with the sight
They change with the wind...but they're always bright
Bright eyes...Blue Denim
Bright eyes...Blue Denim

 

Understanding me...understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do
Understanding me...and understanding you
Is not an easy thing to do

 

And I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Like a photograph...so rare
Like a painting
No I will never forget...
The last time I saw you
Never to be...not you...not me
No...no...

 

Blue-gray eyes...they change with the color...
Change with the sun...they run with the sight
They change with the wind...but they're always bright
Bright eyes...Blue Denim
Bright eyes...Blue Denim

 

So I'm going away for a little while
To remember how to feel
And if I find the answer...
I promise you...I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you
I'll come back and get you

[Greywind]

I do come from miles away,
Ain't got no place to stay.
Glad to help you plow your fields,
Farmer's daughter.
Might be just a couple of days,
Clean up, rest, and be on my way.
Thank you, madam, much obliged,
Farmer's daughter.
So long, got to leave your land.
Many thanks, it was mighty grand.
I do hope to see you again,
Farmer's Daughter.
Farmer's Daughter.

[Greywind]

You say I have everything
Well, I'm living on dreams and chains
But, I sing for the things money can't buy

You say you don't believe
Well could you just look at me
Look deep into my eyes...my love

Well, have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run

I'll take off my cape for you
I'll take down my hair for you
Anything you want me to do...my love

Well, I'll sit home and wait for you
Oh, darling there's nothing that I'd rather do
Anything you want me to do...my love

Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone, baby
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run

You say I have everything
Well, I've been living on dreams and chains
I sing for the things that money can't buy me

Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run
Anything...my love
Anything...my love
Any thing...

[Greywind]

Ooh ooh ah
Now I told you so you ought to know
Ooh it takes some time for a feelin' to grow
Ooh you're so close now I can't let you go
Ooh and I can't let go
For you are a magnet and I am steel

I can't hope that I'll hold you for long
Ooh you're a woman who's lost to your song
Ooh but the love that I feel is so strong
Ooh and it can't be wrong

With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel

[Greywind]

Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon
And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me
Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me

And so I followed
As friends often do
I cared not for love, nor money
I think she knew
The people, they love her
And still they are the most cruel

She asked me
Be my sister, sister of the moon
Some call her sister of the moon
Some say illusions are her game
Wrap her in velvet
Does anyone, ah, know her name

So we make our choices
When there is no choice
And we listen to their voices
Ignoring our own voice

[Greywind]

Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure...my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
And dark desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands...down on my knees

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror...but what's left inside

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze

You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy

I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could...I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want...but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes...it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze...it's a breeze...it's a breeze...

[Greywind]

Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test

Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside

I haven't felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road

And I did not deal with you I know
Tho the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win

So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I'd like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm

We were frail
She said
"Everynight he will break your heart"
I should have known from the first
I'd be the broken hearted
But I loved you from the start
Save us. . .
And not all the prayers in the world--
could save us

[Clonus]

Waiting by the shoreline
In Somalia for your reply
I need you to come see me
That's no lie
The guns are getting closer
The sweat pours like dew
That fell from the trees in Tripoli
In the spring

I'm white hot
I can't take it anymore
I'm white hot
By the Somalian shore
White hot, yes I'm burning to the core
I need rain

Cast out from the jungle
With no rations or canteen
For selling faulty riffles
To the thieves in Tanzania

Adventures and misfortune
Nothing wagered, nothing gained
I have wandered through the desert
Found the ocean not the rain

[death tribble]

Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm okay, here I'll stay with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll lose
So baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does, I'll know
So baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh

Here I am at Camp Granada

Camp is very entertaining

And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining

 

I went hiking with Joe Spivy

He developed poison ivy

You remember Leonard Skinner

He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner

 

All the counselors hate the waiters

And the lake has alligators

And the head coach wants no sissies

So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

 

Now I don't want this should scare ya

But my bunkmate has malaria

You remember Jeffrey Hardy

They're about to organize a searching party

 

Take me home, oh Muddah, Fadduh

Take me home, I hate Granada

Don't leave me out in the forest where

I might get eaten by a bear

Take me home, I promise I will not make noise

Or mess the house with other boys

Oh please don't make me stay

I've been here one whole day

 

Dearest Fadduh, darling Muddah

How's my precious little Bruddah ?

Let me come home if ya miss me

I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

 

Wait a minute, it stopped hailing

Guys are swimming, guys are sailing

Playing baseball, gee, that's better

Muddah, Fadduh kindly disregard this letter

[death tribble]

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
So happy together
How is the weather?
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
So happy together

I like bread and butter,

I like toast and jam,

That's what my baby feeds me,

I'm her loving man.

 

He likes bread and butter,

He likes toast and jam,

That's what his baby feeds him,

He's her loving man.

 

She don't cook mashed potatoes,

She don't cook T-bone steaks,

Don't feed me peanut butter,

She knows that I can't take.

 

He likes bread and butter,

He likes toast and jam,

That's what his baby feeds him,

He's her loving man.

 

Got home early one morning,

Much to my surprise,

She was eating chicken and dumplings

With some other guy.

 

No more bread and butter,

No more toast and jam,

I found my baby eating

With some other man.

[death tribble]

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins

Silently closing her bedroom door

Leaving the note that she hoped would say more

She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief

Quietly turning the backdoor key

Stepping outside she is free

 

She (We gave her most of our lives)

Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)

Home (We gave her everything money could buy)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years (Bye bye)

 

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

Picks up the letter that's lying there

Standing alone at the top of the stairs

She breaks down and cries to her husband "Daddy our baby's gone

Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly ?

How could she do this to me ?"

 

She (We never thought of ourselves)

Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)

Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years (Bye bye)

 

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

Waiting to keep the appointment she made

Meeting a man from the motor trade

 

She (What did we do that was wrong)

Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)

Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied

For so many years (Bye bye)

 

She's leaving home

Bye bye

Jo Jo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass

What would you think if I sang out of tune

Would you stand up and walk out on me ?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

 

What do I do when my love is away ?

(Does it worry you to be alone ?)

How do I feel by the end of the day ?

(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)

No I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

 

(Do you need anybody ?)

I need somebody to love

(Could it be anybody ?)

I want somebody to love

 

(Would you believe in a love at first sight ?)

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time

(What do you see when you turn out the light ?)

I can't tell you, but I know it's mine

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

 

(Do you need anybody ?)

Oh I get high with a little help from my friends

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends

With a little help from my friends

Picture yourself in a boat on a river

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

 

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green

Towering over your head

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes

And she's gone

 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaahhhhh...

 

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies

Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers

That grow so incredibly high

 

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore

Waiting to take you away

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds

And you're gone

 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaahhhhh...

 

Picture yourself on a train in a station

With Plasticine porters with looking-glass ties

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

 

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaahhhhh...

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Aaaaahhhhh...

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds 

[death tribble]

We were talking about the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share

When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love

With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

 

Try to realise it's all within yourself

No one else can make you change

And to see you're really only very small

And life flows on within you and without you

 

We were talking about the love that's gone so cold

And the people who gain the world and lose their soul

They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?

 

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find

Peace of mind is waiting there

And the time will come when you see we're all one

And life flows on within you and without you

[death tribble]

When I get older losing my hair

Many years from now

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings, bottle of wine ?

If I'd been out till quarter to three

Would you lock the door ?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me

When I'm sixty-four ?

 

You'll be older too

And if you say the word

I could stay with you

 

I could be handy, mending a fuse

When your lights have gone

You can knit a sweater by the fireside

Sunday mornings go for a ride

Doing the garden, digging the weeds

Who could ask for more ?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me

When I'm sixty-four ?

 

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight

If it's not too dear

We shall scrimp and save

Grandchildren on your knee

Vera, Chuck & Dave

 

Send me a postcard, drop me a line

Stating point of view

Indicate precisely what you mean to say

Yours sincerely, wasting away

Give me your answer, fill in a form

Mine for evermore

Will you still need me, will you still feed me

When I'm sixty-four ?

Ho !
