"Wasn't Born In Chicago"

"Wasn't Born In Chicago"


I wasn't born in Chigaco,
But I can play the blues.
I wasn't part of no union,
But I paid my dues.

I never got into a train wreck,
But I went off the rails.
I never went under the hammer,
'cause I was hard as nails.

I never swam in dirty water,
But my name was mud.
I never knew you was a virus,
But you got into my blood.

I never was a politician,
But I learned to lie.
I never led a delegation,
I was too smart to try.

I wasn't born in Chigaco,
But I can play the blues.
I wasn't part of no union,
But I paid my dues.

I never was no kind of prisoner,
But I've been to jail.
And I was never in a train wreck,
But I went off the rails, big time.

I never swam in dirty water,
But my name was mud.
I never knew you was a virus,
You got into my blood, blood.

I wasn't born in Chigaco,
But I can play the blues, ah.

"What Are We Here For?"

"What Are We Here For?"


Searching for the answers,
looking for the meaning of our different ways.
Try to understand it,
all of our misgivings is the price we pay.

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
or must we stay until we get it right?

Travelling through the darkness,
guided by the light that shines on everyone.
Each of us an island,
moving through the universe since time began.

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
or must we stay until we get it right?

So many of our dreams are telling us just who we are,
where we're from and how we came so far.
If we would only listen to the things within we know are true,
then all of us would see a brighter day.

Searching for the answers,
hidden in the meaning of our different ways.
Try to understand it,
all of our misgivings is the price we pay.

But what are we here for?
Have we learned a single thing?
What are we here for?
Have we been through everything,
or must we stay until we get it right?
Or must we stay until we get it right?

"When The Sun Goes Down"

"When The Sun Goes Down"


I get so angry with people in this town.
I get so angry, the way they put me down, m-hm.
I had enough,
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
I get so angry with people everywhere, m-hm.
I get so angry, the way they stop and stare, m-hm.
Had me enough,
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
I've had enough of hangin' round.
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
I had enough of hangin' round.
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
Hm.
Makes me so mad, the people in this town.
Makes me so mad, the way they put me down, m-hm.
I had enough,
Leavin' when the sun goes down.
That's right.
I've had enough of hangin' round.
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
I've had enough of stickin' round.
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
Had me enough.
Had me enough.
I've had enough.
I've had enough of hangin' round.
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
I've had enough of stickin' round.
I'm leavin' when the sun goes down.
I've had enough!
I had enough!
I had enough, 'nough!
I've had enough!
Had me enough!

"Where Did We Go Wrong?"

"Where Did We Go Wrong?"


Ever since it all began,
a woman and an only man.
What happened to the world in which we're living?
We take, when all this time we could be giving.
And I ask myself each day,
where did we go wrong?
And I wonder when I pray,
where did we go wrong?

Ever since it all began,
one woman and a lonely man.
I worry for the world in which we're living.
We take, when all this time we could be giving.
And I ask myself each day,
where did we go wrong?
And I wonder when I pray,
where did we go wrong?

With every turn our world is growing older.
But does it mean our hearts are turning colder?
With every teardrop falls a shining star.
It seems so wrong, but now we've come so far.

After all is said and done,
I know I'm not the only one
who worries for this world in which we're living,
who cares about the love we should be giving.
And I ask myself each day,
where did we go wrong?
And I wonder when I pray,
where did we go wrong?

"Who Knows (What Tomorrow May Bring)?"

"Who Knows (What Tomorrow May Bring)?"


Gonna put some distance
Between me and the bad times.
There'll be no resistance,
Say goodbye to the sad times.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Who knows what's around every corner?
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Gonna find the reason
To move on from the sad times.
Gonna come a season,
Bring an end to the bad times.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Who knows what's around every corner?
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Maybe the dreams of yesterday,
The broken dreams of yesterday.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
Who knows what's around every corner?
Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Maybe the dreams of yesterday,
The broken dreams of yesterday.
Maybe the dreams of yesterday.

"Wild Frontier"

"Wild Frontier"


I remember the old country
They call the emerald land
And I remember my hometown
Before the war began
Now we're riding on a sea of rage
The victims you have seen
You'll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green
We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
We're goin' back
Back to the wild frontier
I remember my city streets
Before the soldiers came
Now armoured cars and barricades
Remind us of our shame
We are drowning in a sea of blood
The victims you have seen
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green
We're goin' back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Back to the wild frontier
Back to the wild frontier, it's calling
Those are the days I will remember
Those are the days I most recall
We count the cost of those

"Wishing Well"

"Wishing Well"


Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Spend all your time singin' your blues.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself.
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And one day the sun will shine through.

You've always got somethin' to hide.
Somethin' you just can't tell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

But I know what you're wishing for.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.

You've always been a good friend of mine
But you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

Everybody's got a dream.
And they take it to the wishing well.
Everybody's got a dream.
Wishing well.

"With Love (Remember)"

"With Love (Remember)"


The summer rain like teardrops on my window
Reminds me of a time so long ago
And through each drop of rain I see
Within my heart you'll always be
I pray you will remember me with love

The golden shades of autumn all around us
They tell me nothing ever stays the same
And as the leaves all turn to brown
I watch them floating to the ground
I pray you will remember me with love

As I look back on the springtime
There is one day I recall
Blankets of gold in the fields of love
Remember, remember

The coldest days of winter draw so close now
You'll light the fire to keep away the chill
And in the embers you might see
A flame that burns for you and me
I pray you will remember me with love

As I look back on the springtime
There is one day I recall
Blankets of gold in the fields of love
Remember, remember

The coldest days of winter draw so close now
You'll light the fire to keep away the chill
And in the embers you might see
A flame still burns for you and me
I pray you will remember me with love

I pray you will remember me with love
I pray you will remember me with love

Mm, yeah.

Better than any man in town.

Yes, now baby,

I can love you baby
Better than you used to be.
Come on.
