Do what I want cause I can and if I don't because I wanna be ignored by the stiff and the bored because I'm gonna. Spit and retrieve cause I give and receive because I wanna gonna get through your head what the mystery man said because I'm gonna. Hate to say I told you so. I do believe I told you so. Now it's all out and you knew cause I wanted to. Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot - because I'm gonna. No need for me to wait - because I wanna. No need two, three and too late - because I'm gonna. Hate to say I told you so. I do believe I told you so. Do what I please gonna spread the disease because I wanna gonna call all the shots for the "No"s and the "Not"s because I wanna. Ask me once I'll answer twice cause what I know I'll tell because I wanna. Sound device and lots of ice I'll spell my name out loud because I wanna, oh yeah…
From the album John Mayall Plays John Mayall in 1965
Every morning bout half past eight, My Mummer wakes me says,"Don't be late", Get to the office, tryin' to concentrate, My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. So I stop one day to figure it out, I'll quit my job without a shadow of a doubt, To sing the blues that I know all about, My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. Minute after minute, Second after second, Hour after hour goes by, Working for a rich man, Staying just a poor man, Never stop to wonder why. So here I am in London town, A better scene I'm gonna be around, The kind of music that won't bring me down, My life is just a slow train crawling up a hill. Minute after minute, Second after second, Hour after hour goes by, Working for a rich man, Staying just a poor man, Never stop to wonder why. So here I am in London town, A better scene I'm gonna be around, The kind of music that won't bring me down, Life is just a slow train crawling up a hill
Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels Lonely as I am Together we cry
I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I never worry Now that is a lie
I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way
It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry
I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all that way
Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away.
You wake up late for school - man you don't wanna go You ask you mom, "Please?" - but she still says, "No!" You missed two classes - and no homework But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk
(chorus) You gotta fight for your right to party
You pop caught you smoking - and he said, "No way!" That hypocrite - smokes two packs a day Man, living at home is such a drag Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (Bust it!)
(repeat chorus)
Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?" Aw, mom you're just jealous - it's the Beastie Boys!
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man You win some, lose some, it's - all - the same to me The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil, Going with the flow, it's all a game to me, Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you, Double up or quit, double stakes or split, The Ace Of Spades The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever, And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me, Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again, I see it in your eyes, take one look and die, The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be, The Ace Of Spades The Ace Of Spades
Don't worry for me Well I'm all right Lord knows I"m having, A natural good time, Pocket full of money Gonna boogie all night; There ain't nobody tell me that's crime
Chorus: When morning comes and it's time to go Pony boy carry me home Pony boy carry me home.
Spoken: All right mama, Let me see you do that thing now
Band is jumping and so am I. I'm just groovin', can't stop movin', My ole man's got that ole eagle eye But he is just waitin', we're celebratin'
Chorus
Spoken: I feel a change coming on Come on, mama! Here it comes now Papa's with you now;
Look out the door, There beside that tree. Well, that's my pony, looking after me, Front feet doing the shuffle Back feet, too. Blow them good old Georgia blues.
I feel depressed, I feel so bad 'Cause you're the best girl that I ever had I can't get your love, I can't get a fraction Uh-oh, little girl, psychotic reaction (shouted) And it feels like this!
[Instrumental break]
I feel so lonely night and day I can't get your love, I must stay away I need you girl, by my side Uh-oh, little girl, would you like to take a ride, now I can't get your love, I can't get satisfaction Uh-oh, little girl, psychotic reaction

[chorus]: Come on eileen, oh I swear (what he means) At these moments, you mean everything With you in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah come on eileen
Come on eileen !
These people round here wear beaten down eyes Sunk in smoke dried faces Theyre so resigned to what their fate is But not us (no never), no not us (no never) We are far too young and clever Remember Go toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen Ill hum this tune forever (x2)

And I remember one faded summer And I remember the curtain call Waiting outside, watching the time fly
Way you roll the dice Leaves my eyes There is no way to hide You live inside my mind You play A caryatid easy Leaves my eyes A caryatid easy Way you roll the dice, the dice
Walking in line With this life's shadow The spot line's surprise Are guarding from gallows
Solid stone wall Wouldn't turn back the time at all
There is no compromise Now all the names are called Senses summoned to realize They live inside my mind They play
Consumed by this crowd scene Breaking out this dislocated dream
Educated With poison laughter Seems like high times Every morning after
Waiting outside Watching the time fly
Way you roll the dice Leaves my eyes There is no way to hide You live inside My mind You play

Look through any window, yeah What do you see? Smiling faces all around Rushing through the busy town
Where do they go? Moving on their way Walking down the highways and the byways Where do they go? Moving on their way Are people with their shy ways and their sly ways
You can see the little children all around You can see the little ladies in their gowns
When you look through any window, yeah Any time of day See the drivers on the roads Button down their heavy loads
Where do they go? Moving on their way A-driving down the highways and the byways Where do they go? Moving on their way Are drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways
You can see the little children all around You can see the little ladies in their gowns
When you look through any window, yeah What do you see? Smiling faces all around Rushing through the busy town
Moving on their way... Ooh...moving on their way... Where do they go...? Moving on their way...ooh...

La La La La, La La La La, La La La La,
Born to multiply, Born to gaze into night skies, All you wants one more Saturday. Well look here, until then They gonna buy your life’s time So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters ‘Til the day We come in doing cartwheels We all crawl out by ourselves And your shape on the dance floor Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes.
You be damned to be one of us, girl, Faced with the dodo’s conundrum I felt like I could just fly But nothing happened every time I tried.
A dual tone on the wall The selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all never dreamt of such sterile hands. You keep them folded in your lap, Or raise them up to beg for scraps, You know he's holding you down With the tips of his fingers just the same. Will you be pulled from the ocean, But just a minute too late, Or changed by a potion, And find a handsome young mate For you to love.
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes, You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe’s, Well do it now or grow old. Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.
Been alone since you were twenty-one, You haven't laughed since January. You try and make like this is so much fun, But we know it to be quite contrary.
La la la la la la Dare to be one of us, girl, Facing the android's conundrum, I felt like I should just cry, But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin, You're humoring your cote, You don't know how long I've been, Watching the lantern dim, Starved of oxygen, So give me your hand, And let's jump out the window.
Well, I had just got out from the county prison Doin ninety days for non-support Tried to find me an executive position But no matter how smooth I talked They wouldnt listen to the fact that I was a genius The man say, we got all that we can use. Now igot them steadily depressin, low down mind messin Working at the car wash blues
Well, I should be sittin in an air conditioned office in a swivel chair Talkin some trash to the secretaries Sayin, here, now mama, come on over here. Instead, Im stuck here rubbin these fenders with a rag And walkin home in soggy old shoes With them steadily depressin, low down mind messin Workin at the car wash blues
You know a man of my ability He should be smokin on a big cigar But till I get myself straight I guess Ill just have to wait In my rubber suit a-rubbin these cars
Well, all I can do is a shake my head You might not believe that its true For workin at this end of niagara falls Is an undiscovered howard hughes So baby, dont expect to see me With no double martini in any high-brow society news Cause I got them steadily depressin, low down mind messin Workin at the car wash blues So baby, dont expect to see me With no double martini in any high-brow society news Cause I got them steadily depressin, low down mind messin Workin at the car wash blues Yeah I got them steadily depressin, low down mind messin Workin at the car wash blues

Well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

A rum-lime honey sing a magical tune Found her underneath the Caribbean Moon Wind is blowin' in the coconut tree Blowin' the moonlight over you and me Hey Caribbean moon yellow yellow Caribbean moon yellow yellow Caribbean moon yellow yellow Caribbean moon shine all night Calypso singer singin' in the sun Sing about the rivers of Babylon Rasta music, Caribbean sea Come on everybody sing the tune with me Hey Caribbean moon yellow yellow Caribbean moon yellow yellow Caribbean moon yellow yellow Caribbean moon shine all night When I sing this song it makes me feel so glad It was very musical, the love we had Oh Martha, Martha let me sing to you The song about the moon and the big bamboo
Blue moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon You know just what i was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone i really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when i looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon Now i'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when i looked the moon had turned to gold

Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk for ever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon
Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Feet they hardly touch the ground Walking on the moon My feet don't hardly make no sound Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say I'm wishing my days away, no way And if it's the price I pay, some say Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay I may as well play

From the O.S.T of the film Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961
Moon River, wider than a mile, I'm crossing you in style some day. Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker, wherever you're going I'm going your way. Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. We're after the same rainbow's end-- waiting 'round the bend, my huckleberry friend, Moon River and me.
Early one mornin the sun was shinin, I was layin in bed Wondrin if shed changed at all If her hair was still red. Her folks they said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough They never did like mamas homemade dress Papas bankbook wasnt big enough. And I was standin on the side of the road Rain fallin on my shoes Heading out for the east coast Lord knows Ive paid some dues gettin through, Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we first met Soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam, I guess, But I used a little too much force. We drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out west Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best. She turned around to look at me As I was walkin away I heard her say over my shoulder, Well meet again someday on the avenue, Tangled up in blue.
I had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell But I never did like it all that much And one day the ax just fell. So I drifted down to new orleans Where I happened to be employed Workin for a while on a fishin boat Right outside of delacroix. But all the while I was alone The past was close behind, I seen a lot of women But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew Tangled up in blue.
She was workin in a topless place And I stopped in for a beer, I just kept lookin at the side of her face In the spotlight so clear. And later on as the crowd thinned out Is just about to do the same, She was standing there in back of my chair Said to me, dont I know your name? I muttered somethin underneath my breath, She studied the lines on my face. I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe, Tangled up in blue.
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe I thought youd never say hello, she said You look like the silent type. Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an italian poet From the thirteenth century. And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burnin coal Pourin off of every page Like it was written in my soul from me to you, Tangled up in blue.
I lived with them on montague street In a basement down the stairs, There was music in the cafes at night And revolution in the air. Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died. She had to sell everything she owned And froze up inside. And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn, The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin on like a bird that flew, Tangled up in blue.
So now Im goin back again, I got to get to her somehow. All the people we used to know Theyre an illusion to me now. Some are mathematicians Some are carpenters wives. Dont know how it all got started, I dont know what theyre doin with their lives. But me, Im still on the road Headin for another joint We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.
Will you say when I’m gone away "My lover came to me and we'd lay In rooms unfamiliar but until now" Oh oh oh oh Until now Oh oh oh oh Until now
Will you say to them when I’m gone "I loved your son for his sturdy arms We both learned to cradle then live without" Oh oh oh oh Live without Oh oh oh oh Live without
Will you say when I’m gone away 'Your father’s body was judgment day We both dove and rose to the riverside" Oh oh oh oh Riverside Oh oh oh oh Riverside
Will you say to me when I’m gone "Your face has faded but lingers on 'Cause light strikes a deal with each coming night" Oh oh oh oh Coming night Oh oh oh oh Coming night Oh oh oh oh Coming night Oh oh oh oh Coming night
I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money" If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick "Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!" "I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Marco's shadow falls on the door to the 7 Lost Cities of Gold finds a raven's head and rattler's tail dead in his tracks, this Godforsaken soul's unwanted here and his ghost lingers for years
Amalia's face hides behind the mask sweating on the TV factory line that smile on her face is starting to crack while welding back the pieces of shattered heart that's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers searched for her lost child along the river of tears
At the end of the working week when drunken worlds meet both sides keeping a close eye for a break in the line here... on the Crystal Frontier
Blood spills out on the streets and bodies are missing for weeks both sides keeping a close eye watching the bullets fly here... on the Crystal Frontier
Ramon tightens up his leather belt and slips through a hole in the fence he can get you anything you want might cost you a life, might cost you the whole price of freedom here...on the Crystal Frontier
"Strange Fruit" is a song performed by Billie Holiday. It condemned American racism, particularly the lynching of African Americans that had occurred chiefly in the South but also in all regions of the United States.
Southern trees bear strange fruit, (Los árboles del sur tienen un fruto extraño) Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, (Sangre en las hojas y sangre en la raíz,) Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, (Cuerpos negros balanceándose en la brisa del sur,) Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. (Extraño fruto que cuelga de los álamos.)
Pastoral scene of the gallant south, (Escena pastoral del galante sur,) The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, (Los ojos abultados, la boca torcida,) Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, (El aroma de las magnolias, dulce y fresco,) Then the sudden smell of burning flesh. (Y de pronto el olor de la carne quemada.)
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, (Aquí está el fruto que arrancarán los cuervos,) For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, (Para que reciba la lluvia, para que chupe el viento,) For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, (Para que el sol la madure, para que los árboles la suelten,) Here is a strange and bitter crop. (Aquí está una extraña y amarga cosecha.)
I came upon a child of god He was walking along the road And I asked him, where are you going And this he told me Im going on down to yasgurs farm Im going to join in a rock n roll band Im going to camp out on the land Im going to try an get my soul free We are stardust We are golden And weve got to get ourselves Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you I have come here to lose the smog And I feel to be a cog in something turning Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe its the time of man I dont know who l am But you know life is for learning We are stardust We are golden And weve got to get ourselves Back to the garden
By the time we got to woodstock We were half a million strong And everywhere there was song and celebration And I dreamed I saw the bombers Riding shotgun in the sky And they were turning into butterflies Above our nation We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden Caught in the devils bargain And weve got to get ourselves Back to the garden

Well my pad is very messy And there’s whiskers on my chin And I’m all hung up on music And I always play to win I ain’t got no time for lovin’ Cause my time is all used up Just to sit around creatin’ All that groovy kind of stuff. I’m a man Yes I am And I can’t help But love you so I’m a man Yes I am And I can’t help But love you so.
Well if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats All engrossed in mental chatter Moving where our minds are at And relating to each other Just how strong our wills can be I’m resisting all involvement With each groovy chick we see
Well I’m a man Yes I am And I can’t help But love you so I’m a man Yes I am And I can’t help But love you so.
I got to keep my image While suspended from a throne That looks out upon a kingdom Full of people all unknown Who imagine I’m not human And my heart is made of stone I never had no problems And my toilet’s trimmed with chrome
I’m a man Yes I am And I can’t help But love you so. I’m a man Yes I am And I can’t help But love you so.

[thurston] Everybodys talking bout the stormy weather And whats a man do to but work out whether its true? Looking for a man with a focus and a temper Who can open up a map and see between one and two
Time to get it Before you let it Get to you
Here he comes now Stick to your guns And let him through
Everybodys coming from the winter vacation Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you You come running in on platform shoes With marshall stacks To at least just give us a clue Ah, here it comes I know its someone I knew
Teenage riot in a public station Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you
Now I see it I think Ill leave it out of the way Now I come near you And its not clear why you fade away
Looking for a ride to your secret location Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation, for you Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer thats rockin And a cord and a pedal and a lock, thatll do me for now
It better work out I hope it works out my way cause its getting kind of quiet in my citys head Takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now
You better look it Were gonna shake it Up to him
He acts the hero We paint a zero On his hand
We know its down We know its bound too loose Everybodys sound is round it Everybody wants to be proud to choose So whos to take the blame for the stormy weather Youre never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze
Its time to go round A one man showdown Teach us how to fail
Were off the streets now And back on the road On the riot trail
