ERIC CLAPTON

BELL BOTTOM BLUES

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms.

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.

It's all wrong, but it's all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won't find a better loser.

Chorus

Chorus

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye.
I'm sure we're gonna meet again,
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover.

Chorus

I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I long to stay.

ME THIS LIKE I

PRIVATE SUIT
Bettie Serveert
(Serveert/Carol Van Dyk)

Our little works of wonder, in a nostalgic mood,
let no man pull this under,
this is a private suit.

Descending, softly, down the hillside, they say
“Dim the lights”
it's better not to see things,
relying on the free things,
just like a favorite tune.

And of course I had my feet in the absurd,
‘cause I tried to fit my life into a word,
now it still turned out the same.

We're half seas over, in a nostalgic mood.
I got my arms wrapped around your shoulder,
just like a private suit.

And we’re feeding on molasses, drinking all the glasses, they say
“Kill the lights!”
it's better not to see things,
relying on the free things,
just like a favorite tune.

But on top of everything, it sounds absurd,
when I tried to pin my life into a word,
now it still turned out the same.

Hey, but don't worry about me,
I’ll be sitting by the seashore,
laughing at the lifeforms,
and whistling down the breeze.

So don't worry about me,
'cause you can't please everyone.
And I'm thinking to myself,
and I'm not the only one.
We all gotta learn,
to give some in return.
Don't worry about me.

Don't worry about me,
'cause you can't please everyone.
And I'm thinking to myself,
and I'm not the only one.
We all gotta learn,
to give some in return,
like little works of wonder.

Four of us were having dinner

And I threw down the paper with a curse

And my wife said "Complaining doesn't get it

You got to do something or you can bet it will get worse"

And my friend said "You've been watching T.V. too much

And all that hippie hopefullness is just a crutch

But if thinking that way helps you

To make it through the night

Then who am I to say what's wrong and right?"

But I think we're passing through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?

I think we're passing through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?

"So you think we should just sit here

And have another glass of wine

While the world goes to hell

Which you know damn well it's going to do just down the line?"

And his lady said "I dunno, how can you be so sure

I mean, some things seem to get better

The hero still saves the damsel in distress

The villan doesn't get her"

And I said "Where have you been living?

I mean they're selling death in the streets, cheap

And the lying politicians are rolling in the profits they reap"

He said "He's right honey, but I think it's always been that way"

And he smiled kind of patiently and I knew he was going to say

I think we're passing through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?

I think we're passing through here kind of fast

Did you think these tracks in the dust would last?

I think we're passing through here kind of fast

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car

But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
Cos I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather

I'm going to find a space inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah
Said I feel like I owe it, yeah
You know I feel---- like I owe it yeah to someone

Freak Out!
(The Mothers Of Invention, June 1966)
Trouble every day

Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Is anybody's guess

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot . . .
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin' 'round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Well, you can cool it,
You can heat it . . .
'Cause, baby, I don't need it . . .
Take your TV tube and eat it
'N all that phony stuff on sports
'N all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head begin to hurt
From checkin' out the way
The newsman say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so

And further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They will be the first to tell,
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin' hard and doin' swell,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie
And you'll see it all complete

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Hey, you know something people?
I'm not black
But there's a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I'm not white

Well, I seen the fires burnin'
And the local people turnin'
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em
And they say it served 'em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it's the same across the nation
Black and white discrimination
Yellin' "You can't understand me!"
'N all that other jazz they hand me
In the papers and TV and
All that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
Because the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
(No matter if it's black or white)
Because he's out for blood tonight

You know we got to sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won't be many live
To see it really end
'Cause the fire in the street
Ain't like the fire in the heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don't you know that this could start
On any street in any town
In any state if any clown
Decides that now's the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree
There ain't no Great Society
As it applies to you and me
Our country isn't free
And the law refuses to see
If all that you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store
You know that five in every four
Just won't amount to nothin' more
Gonna watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor

Blow your harmonica, son!

J Geils Band - You're The Only One - The J. Geils Band

It's very hard to define it
Just why I feel this way
There must be all kinds of reasons
So many things I could say
And I know I'm not mistaken
This is love and that's for sure

You, you're the only one
You're the only one
You, you're the only one

There are times I remember
It wasn't so long ago
I was lonely, sad and confused
I didn't know where to go
But baby I want to tell you
Just how good you make me feel

I'd be a fool to deny it
I want everyone to know

Baby, baby

Mark:
Makes you feel much older
Sublime
The blind parade
It wrecks me
How
They
Justify their acts
Of war, they assemble, they pray

Take good care of what the priests say
After death it's so much fun
Little sheep don't let your feet stray

Happiness is easy

Children:
Joy be written on the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Mark:
Guilt upon their shoulders
How well the cause evades
Infecting your religions, claiming pacts
It's easy to shoulder the blame

Happiness is easy

Children:
Little ships of Galilee
Sailing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be a friend to me

Mark:
Try to teach my children
To recognize excuse before it acts
From love and conviction
To pray

Take good care of what the priests say
After death it's so much fun
Little sheep don't let your feet stray

Happiness is easy

Children:
Little ships of Galilee
Sailing on the sea
Jesus tried to love us all
Be a friend to me

Joy be written on the earth
And the sky above
Jesus star that shines so bright
Gather us in love

Reminds me of... Six o' clock
In the morning, I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes
Who came to conquer

Seven o'clock
In the morning, here it comes
I taste the warning and I am so amazed
I'm here today, seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way
To Stonehenge

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
And a feeling deep inside of me tells me
This can't be the plac

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Saviour
Made me say
I can't stay

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here!
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high

I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
It's hard enough to drink the wine
The air inside just hangs in delusion
But given time
I'll be fine

Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here!
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all

And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the ffs I edited this pos about 5 times I can`nt get nothing straight

i used to have this tune but can't find it - CSNY, right? wouldn't mind having it again if anybody has it laying around...

[Ramona_A_Stone]

Just CSN (77, no Y) Mr. Knife, sir. And I've got it if you need a last resort. Coincidentally, old CSN (and Y) cds have been my latest prey on ebay since I realized with horror recently that you (at least I) can't find new retail versions of even these great classic albums anywhere, (such as CSN 69, Deja Vu or CSN 77).

I also have a weird story about that song. Back in the Days Of Vinyl, my friend Natalie and I were obsessed with Cathedral and its kind of spooky (if vague) reincarnational allusions, and we were sitting around listening to it one evening with the lights low when the needle on my turntable broke, right after finishing playing the song. Evidently the the cartridge got a crossed wire or something and as it skidded to the center of the album thudding and crackling, it begin to somehow freakishly pick up a radio signal. ...At least that's how we explained it to ourselves after the goosebumps faded... because a tinny version of Winchester Cathedral (the old weird little song sung through a megaphone... "Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down") became recognizable through the rattle and hum. When I finally picked up the needle it stopped and we tried to reproduce the effect but couldn't.

The synchronicity seemed so improbable that I even got goosebumps retelling the story, and I still get a slightly eerie feeling every time I hear Winchester Cathedral.

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I
I will begin again
I
I will begin again

Maybe the time is right
Maybe tonight

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day

[Ramona_A_Stone]

Indigo
Speeding slow
Closer than
A stone's throw
Tremor tones
In afterglow
Clear as the coast's
Ancient echoes

Caressed solace
Of oceans sinking
Liquified sky
Of fishes drinking
Sea swallowed whole
Never diminished
Driving drifts
To flash flood finish

This is the Zodiac speaking
This is the Zodiac speaking

Hollow flow
Obsidian
Invisible meridian
Rippling, crippled and tame
Pushed through the veins
Slipping further away

Locked inside transparent skin
Delicately flickering
Spoke on the wheel
Just a spook in the wind

This is the Zodiac speaking

This month, monopolizing my mp3 player, 9 songs by Ms. Mann, from the Magnolia movie. She's a strange singer and her songs are strikingly simple but seriously seductive... and addictive. And yes, I'd marry her.

you look like
a perfect fit
a girl in need
of a tourniquet

but can you
save me?
come on and
save me
if you could
save me

from the ranks
of the freeks
who suspect
they could never love anyone

cozz I can tell
you know what it’s like
the long farewell
of a hunger strike

but can you
save me?
come on and
save me
if you could
save me

from the ranks
of the freeks
who suspect
they could never love anyone

you struck me dumb
like radium
like peter pan
or superman
you will come
to save me

c’mon and
save me
if you could
save me
from the ranks
of the freeks
who suspect
they could never love anyone
’cept the freeks
who suspect
they could never love anyone
but the freeks
who suspect
they could never love anyone

J'ai tendu des cordes de clocher à clocher
Des guirlandes de fenêtre à fenêtre
Des chaînes d'or d'étoile à étoile
Et je danse

Let me
Penetrate all of your memories
Let me
Be that woman
Who can bind you hand and foot

I'll strangle you
I'll strangle you
I'll strangle you
I'll strangle you

Une matinée couverte en juillet
Un goût de cendres vole dans l'air
Une odeur de bois suant dans l'âtre
Les fleurs rouies
Le saccage des promenades
La bruine des chanaux par les champs

I have strung ropes from steeple to steeple
Garlands from window to window
And golden chains from star to star
When I dance

J'ai tendu des cordes de clocher à clocher
Des guirlandes de fenêtre à fenêtre
Des chaînes d'or d'étoile à étoile
Et je danse

Let me
Penetrate all of your memories
Let me
Be that woman
Who can bind you hand and foot

I'll strangle you
I'll strangle you

Avivant un agréable goût d'encre de chine
Une poudre noire pleut doucement sur ma veillée
Je baisse les feux du lustre
Je me jette sur le lit
Et tourné du côté de l'ombre
Je vois, mes filles!
Mes reines!

I have strung ropes from steeple to steeple
Garlands from window to window
And golden chains from star to star
And I dance

When you were young and on your own
How did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that I was playing.
Trying to make the best of my time.

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

I have a friend I’ve never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see if he can come out.
Try to lose the down that he’s found.

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

I have a friend I’ve never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Yes, only love can break your heart
Yes, only love can break your heart
