"The Shout"

"The Shout"


You tell me that you love my stuff
Baby that ain’t good enough
You tell me that you think I’m great
Maybe you’re a little late
You say you wanna buy me lunch
Mister you just hit the crunch
You say you wanna hear my views
Sister you ain’t heard the news

[Chorus:]
I’ve quit the job
I’ve shut the shop
I’ve hung the rag
And slung the slot
I’m giving up my life for art
Sold the horse and smashed the cart
I’ve seen the error of my ways
No use living in a daze
No use living in a dream
Sometimes you have to scream

No more howling at the moon
Time to try a different tune
No more staring at the sun
Time to try a different drum
Time to try a different clock
Wind it up and let it rock
Time to kill those nagging doubts
Turn it up and shout it out

[Chorus]

(originally by B.B. King)

"The Thrill Is Gone"
(originally by B.B. King)



The thrill has gone,
The thrill has gone away.
The thrill has gone,
The thrill has gone away.
You know you done me wrong,
And you'll be sorry someday.

The thrill is gone,
It's gone away from me.
The thrill is gone,
It’s gone away from me.
And though I will live on,
So lonely I will be.

The thrill has gone,
It's gone away for good.
The thrill has gone,
Has gone away for good.
Someday I’ll be over it all,
Just like you said I would.

You know I'm free, free, free,
Free from your spell.
I'm free, baby,
Free from your spell.
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well.

"The Turning"

"The Turning"


Far from this life of smoke and fear
I dreamed a path no one else could claim
Not one face ever stained with tears
Or blood that spilled in someone else's name

Would not run, could not hide
From the perfect wave
Only those who know the tides
Are not swept away

Who would not chose the turquoise sky
Over the streets of steel and concrete gray?
Colors that once could free the mind
Become so drab, all joy begins to drain away

Every hope overwhelmed
Now the perfect storm
Washed away every stain
To show the world reborn

Time has come to lose the pasts
Ashes to the wind
When the first become the last
The turning shall begin

"This Blue Love"

"This Blue Love"


I have seen our life apart
And I've, seen our life together
I know here in my heart
What's bringing me most pain
I have tried to see the good
And I, wish for life forever
But now I realize
Can't go that way again

I don't want you
I don't need you, anymore
In the hope that this is true
I'm turnin' away from you
And This Blue Love

You say that there were times
When our love was at full flood
And you and I believed, we were unbreakable
But the love has ebbed away
With a cooling of the blood
And the storm that we went through, was unmistakable

I don't want you
I don't need you, anymore
In the hope that this is true
I'm turnin' away from you
And This Blue Love

I don't want you,
I don't need you...

"Too Rolling Stoned"

"Too Rolling Stoned"


Oh, a stitch in time
Just about saved me
From going through the same old moves
And this cat is nine
He still suffers
He's going through the same old grooves

But that stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
Takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues

Too many cooks, yeah
Spoil such a good thing
I know I laughed out loud but that was then
Ain't it funny, a fool and his money
Always seemed to find was those real good friends
That stone just keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues

Well that stone keeps on rolling
Bringing me some real bad news
The takers get the honey
Givers sing the blues

A stitch in time
Helps to unfold me
Circus starts at eight so don't be late
Please be so kind not to wake me
I think I'll just sit this one out

Well, I'm too rolling stoned
I'm too rolling stoned, yeah
Like a rolling stone
Just, just, just like a rolling stone
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling stone
Yeah, too rolling stoned
Oh just like a rolling stone
Well, like a rolling stone

"Turn Up The Volume"

"Turn Up The Volume"


Who the hell do you think you are?
This time baby you’ve gone too far
Should have kept your mouth in check
Now your gonna get it in the neck

The ship in bottle like a tidal wave
The situation break you’d better turn around
Your ball is slipping and your slowing down

[Chorus:]
Turn the volume up – ‘til the power hits, ‘til the power hits
Turn the volume up – Turn it up
Turn the volume up – ‘til the power hits, ‘til the power hits
Turn the volume up – Turn it up

Your kindda problems gonna raise some dust
This time baby heading for a bust
Your spreading rumours line a sinking stone
You’re suffocating on your own

I’ve seen the paper with your picture on the front page
Baby be prepared they’ve got you running scared
You’re going crazy time to say your prayers

[Chorus]

"Twice Removed From Yesterday"

"Twice Removed From Yesterday"


"I think I've travelled here before
And stood upon this velvet shore
That looks out to the golden ship of Reason"

The man took to the gentle life
The wind cried to the skies
I felt that I would cry as I was leaving

Tomorrow is a step away
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness
Still I am a dream away
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness

"And in my dream, I thought I heard
The truth behind the spoken word
I thought that I had something to believe in"

But all too soon the dream was gone
And in the dust that lingered on
The tears that I'd shed tried to free me

Tomorrow is a step away
Twice removed from yesterday's sadness
Still I am a dream away
Twice removed from yesterday's sweet madness

"Under The Gun"

"Under The Gun"


There’s a stranger staring back
And you in the mirror
Guessed that you’re a man on the run

There’s a ghost from the past
Looking over your shoulder
Your chance to escape is a million to one

But your eyes are on the future
But your back’s against the wall
You’re walking on a tightrope
Watch you don’t fall

[Chorus:]
Coz its down to the wire
Time to deliver
The hang tough
When you’re under the gun
Your rhythm and a fire
There’s a hand on the trigger
Nowhere to run
When you’re under the gun

You were captain of the ship
And master of the game
Anything you want it to be
Oh but then the rules got changed
And the ship went up in flames
And you found yourself
Lost out at sea

You’ve been counted out of action
Scattered in the wind
Are you walking on water
Coming back again?
Repeat Chorus then solo

You’ve been counted...

[Chorus]

"Victims Of The Fury"

"Victims Of The Fury"


You were all the rays of sunshine
Shining O to me
Every colour of the rainbow
I was blessed by high decree
You were every moment’s magic
Joy beyond compare
You were all the rays of sunlight
I was lost without a care

[Chorus:]
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark

So we left our days in rapture
Like the world would never end
We weren’t thinking ‘bout the future
We had time enough to spend
We were blessed as though in heaven
We were messengers of joy
There were angels all around us
There was none who dared destroy

[Chorus]

Then the world collapsed around us
And the tables overturned
We were lambs before the slaughter
We were driven out and burnt
Yes the world collapsed around us
And the archers found their mark
We were victims of the fury
We were shadows in the dark

[Chorus]

"What's Your Name"

"What's Your Name"


My momma told me,
Not to give into desire,
'Cause baby if you do,
You're playin' with fire,

I tried, she sighed,
Baby your goin' down,
What's your name?
Bright young flame,
If it's all the same to you,
I'd really like to know your name

When you're brought up right,
It makes it kinda hard,
To see your good intentions,
Go from pure to black and then charred

I lied, she cried,
Baby your goin' down,
What's your name?
If it's all the same to you,
I'd really like to know your name

They say that lightining never strikes,
In' the same place twice,
But if you keep goin', the way that you do,
You're gonna need some leagal advice

My mama told me,
Take a path that's narrow and straight,
'Cause a fall can take your whole life,
Bend it all out of shape

I failed, she wailed,
Baby your goin' down,
What's your name?
Bright young flame,
If it's all the same to you,
I'd really like to know your name

What's your name?
Bright young flame,
If it's all the same to you,
I'd really like to know your name
