Muddy Waters - Can't Be Satisfied (1948)

From a single in 1948



Well I'm goin' away to leave
Won't be back no more
Goin' back down south, child
Don't you want to go?
Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well baby I just can't be satisfied
And I just can't keep from cryin'

Well I feel like snappin'
Pistol in your face
I'm gonna let some graveyard
Lord be your resting place
Woman I'm troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well baby I can never be satisfied
And I just can't keep from cryin'

Well now all in my sleep
Hear my doorbell ring
Looking for my baby
I couldn't see not a doggone thing
Woman I was troubled, I was all worried in mind
Well honey I could never be satisfied
And I just couldn't keep from cryin'

Well I know my little old baby
She gonna jump and shout
That old train be late man, Lord
And I come walking out
I be troubled, I be all worried in mind
Well honey ain't no way in the world could we be satisfied
And I just can't keep from crying

Buffalo Tom - Taillights Fade (1992)

From the album Let Me Come Over in 1992



Sister can you hear me now
The ringing in your ears
I'm down on the ground
My luck's been dry for years

I'm lost in the dark
And I feel like a dinosaur
Broken face and broken hands
I'm a broken man

I've hit the wall
I'm about to fall
But I'm closing in on it
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black

I read a thing about this girl
She was a hermit in her world
Her story was much like mine
She could be my valentine

And although we've never met
I won't forget her yet
She cut herself off from her past
Now she's alone at last

I feel so sick
Lost love's last licks
But I'm closing down on it
I feel so weak
On a losing streak
Watch my taillights fade to black

Lost my life in cheap wine
Now it's quiet time
Cappy Dick nor Jesus Christ
Could not help my fate

But I'm underneath a gun
I'm singing about my past
Had myself a wonderful thing
But I could not make it last

I've hit the wall
I'm about to fall
But I'm closing in on it
I feel so small
Underneath it all
Watch my taillights fade to black
..Watch my taillights fade
..Watch my taillights fade
..Watch my taillights fade

Captain Beyond - Dancing Madly Backwards (On a Sea of Air) (1972)

From the album Captain Beyond in 1972



Dancing madly backwards
Dancing on a sea
Racing on my memories
I'm glad I set my dreams
Tip toe, tip toe quickly
Forget about your cares
And remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Wishing on your wishes
Landin on a storm
Knowing when you are dancing
Knowing that's so far
Dance, Dance, faster
Madly dance away
Cause remeber underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Just remember underneath you
Is just a sea of air
Well, I saw right now, looked at face to face
Don't complain never seems too late
No no no no no
Ah, cause I'm not sitting on the golden gate
Love and a peace and war and hate
No no no no no
Well, I'm not gonna sit around and wait
All I'm a doing is losing my face
Oh no no no
But we're all on station that's for sure
Searchin is an endless
Well, there ain't no care
Ah, oo

Sidonie - Mi Cancion De Domingo (2007)

From the album Costa Azul (2007)



Aterrados de felicidad
En un cuarto oscuro a mediodía
En la cama hay un rincón
Con círculos de luz perdida

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, esparces la rosa
Sobre la losa

Bajamos a tomar un té
En un bar del Paseo de Gracia
La gente mira con desdén
mi cigarro temblando de ansia

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, esparces la rosa
Sobre la losa

Tú estas en mi canción
cantando en domingo una vez más
Estás en mi canción cantando una vez más
Mi canción, mi canción, mi canción

Me despido del pobre portal
Creo que tu nombre es Elena
Y me quedo solo otra vez
En la santa tarde de las penas

Las horas que no volverán
Los días, los meses, los años
Son las rimas del enterrador
Son las rimas del enterrador

Y yo, canto en la fosa
Y tú, blanca y hermosa
Bajo las rosas

Tú estas en mi canción
cantando en domingo una vez más
Estás en mi canción cantando una vez más
Mi canción, mi canción, mi canción
