Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind (1969)

From the album Tell Mama in 1968



Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around

Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no

Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no

Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah

Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...

Harry Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin' (1969)

From a single in 1969



Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echos of my mind
People stop and stare
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm Going where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of a northeast wind
And sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

I'm Going where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of a northeast wind
And sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talkin' at me
Can't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echos of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave my love behind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave my love behind

Zager & Evans - In The Year 2525 (1969)

From a single in 1969



In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive they may find

In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine's doing that for you

In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube, whoa-oh

In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again, whoa-oh

In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old Earth can give
And he ain't put back nothin', whoa-oh

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find

In the year 3535

Blind Faith - Well... All Right (1969)

From the album Blind Faith in 1969



Well all right, so I've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so I'm not working.
Well all right, let people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Well all right, so I've been foolish.
Well all right, let people know
About the dreams and wishes that you wish
In the night when lights are low.

Well all right, well all right,
You know we live and love with all our might.
Well all right, well all right,
You know our lifetime love will be all right.

Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl (1969)

From the album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere in 1969



I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Born on the Bayou (1969)

From the album Bayou Country in 1969



Now, when I was just a little boy,
Standin to my daddys knee,
My poppa said, son, dont let the man get you
Do what he done to me.
cause hell get you,
cause hell get you now, now.

And I can remember the fourth of july,
Runnin through the backwood, bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin,
Chasin down a hoodoo there.
Chasin down a hoodoo there.

Chorus:
Born on the bayou;
Born on the bayou;
Born on the bayou.

Wish I was back on the bayou.
Rollin with some cajun queen.
Wishin I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin on down to new orleans.

Chorus

Do it, do it, do it, do it. oh, lord.
Oh get back boy.

I can remember the fourth of july,
Runnin through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin,
Chasin down a hoodoo there.
Chasin down a hoodoo there.

Chorus

All right! do, do, do, do.
Mmmmmmm, oh.

Grand Funk Railroad - In Need (1969)

From the album Grand Funk (The Red Album)



Hey, hey, mama; mama, what you tryin to do?
You keep on talkin to me, till your face turns blue.
Well, do you think Im a young boy, yet to make up my mind?
Well, Im just castin all my toys, Im gonna leave whats behind me, behind.
Im gonna leave whats behind me, behind.

I saw an old high school friend, just the other day,
He didnt ask me how Id been, he asked me how was my pay?
Now, do you call this a friendship, judging from what he said?
If you do, Ive a real tip: aint nobody gonna know about my bread.
Aint nobody gonna know about my bread.

If you got somebody, that you can trust to the very end,
I said if you do, I want to be like you, cause you sure got a real good friend.
You sure got a real good friend.
Friend ...
Friend ...

Humble Pie - Natural Born Bugie (1969)

From single debut in 1969



There she is again, steppin' out of her limousine
lookin' like the cover on a twenty dollar magazine
she's got it where you find it, if y' know what I mean
She's a natural born woman
There she is again, watch her stop the main street in its tracks
lookin' like a creole queen, hair hangin' down her back
I said don't look too long boy, she'll make y'r glasses crack
She's a natural born woman
Lookin' out my backdoor wandering which way to go
thinkin' `bout the city and a rock n roll show
come on sweet-eyed Suzie together we can lose control
She's a natural born woman

King Crimson - I Talk to the Wind (1969)

From the album In the Court of the Crimson King in 1969



Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
Ive been here and Ive been there
And Ive been in between.

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

Im on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me.

You dont possess me
Dont impress me
Just upset my mind
Cant instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

The Velvet Underground - What goes on (1969)

From the album The Velvet Underground in 1969



What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that I am upside down.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
You know itll work allright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
You know itll be allright.

Im goin up, and Im goin down.
Im gonna fly from side to side.
See the bells, up in the sky,
Somebodys cut the string in two.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
You know itll work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
You know itll be alright.

One minute one, one minute two.
One minute up and one minute down.
What goes on here in your mind?
I think that I am falling down.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
You know itll work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
You know itll be alright.

Teeny bopper my teenage love
I caught your waves last night
It sent my mind to wonderin
You're such a grove
Please don't move
Please stay in my lovehouse by the river
Fast talking guys with strange red eyes
Have put things in your head
And started your mind to wondering
I love you so please don't go
Please stay here with me in Mendocino
Mendocino Mendocino
Where life's such a groove
You blow your mind in the morning
We use to walk thru the park
Make love along the way in Mendocino
Like I told you can you dig it
If you wnnna groove
I'll be glad to have you
I love you so please don't go
Please stay here with me in Mendocino
Mendocino Mendocino
Where life's such a groove
You blow your mind in the morning
We use to walk thru the park
Make love along the way in Mendocino
