Night Calls

The night gang started working
With a mile of southern road
As I watched
I got to thinking
You ain't never coming home
I looked out of nowhere
There was nobody at all
To get me help
To get through to you

I'm here making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
Night calls
Making night calls
I gave

I tried too hard to reach you
But you must be moving fast
All my hopes about the future
Will just live on
Into the past
You know that it ain't easy
And the twilight starts to fade
Shouldn't you
The chill of the morning
Thinking of the plans we made

Oh, night calls
Making night calls
Let it ring
The night calls
Making night calls
Oh, night calls
Give up those night calls

A Little Help From My Friends

A Little Help From My Friends


What would you think if sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes I'm certain that it happen all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody, I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

Angeline

Angeline


Well I'm work shy, I'm wild-eyed
So shut that door when the baby cries
And keep me well fed, give me warm bread
Lay my body on a feather bed
And spoil me, Angeline
Get to work when the whistle screams, Angeline

Maybe someday, some way
Somewhere in the future there's more pay
Give me more cash, bring me sour mash
Peel me a grape and fetch my stash
And bite me, Angeline
Let me use you like a sex machine, Angeline

You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card
Angeline I love you when you work so hard
Swing that hammer and sew my jeans
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean

Well I talk tough, I act rough
Lay still honey I can't get enough
And keep your nose clean, let me be
On your knees when you speak to me
And trust me, Angeline
And talk real dirty and I'll make you scream Angeline

Another Mind Gone

Another Mind Gone


Feel
The truth
Come shining through
Soon there'll be
There'll be no place to turn to
In the light
Of the day
So far away
From anything
Anything that we've been used to

Just another mind gone
Just another mad song
From a self neglector
I'm telling you
It's just another night crow
Another mind blow
And then rejected
Another mind gone

Hard
To say
The right way
It should be ours
Ours just for the taking
In the dawns
They're lying
Give us strenght of mind
Yet leaves us on
While other hearts are breaking

It's just another lifewire
Just another hell fire
Needed understanding
Hear me now
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone

It seems so hard
To keep my sanity
Just stay in touch
With reality
I apologise
I don't want a ride
I don't want to be
Another mind gone

It's just another mind gone
Just another mad dog
Feeling selfneglected
Telling you
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone
Yeah
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Just another mad song I know
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
It's just another headcase
Just another lost face
And there's a mind gone

Bad Bad Sign

Bad Bad Sign


There's a black cat crossing
And a moon that's full
I've been turning and tossing
'Cause I feel a fool
There's a broken mirror
On the bedroom wall
The phone keeps on ringing
But there's never a call
Right after we make love
You always leave
I'm not superstitious
But I do believe

It's a bad bad bad bad sign
Yes it is
It's a bad bad bad bad sign

There's a fortune teller
And a wise man too
But they couldn't tell me
Anything about you
Except the harder it's coming
It's gonna fall
And if that's an omen
I don't care at all
Then you say you love me
But you always got to go
I'm not superstitious
But I ought to know

It's a bad bad bad bad sign
Feeling alive
It's a bad bad bad bad sign

You had some restless night
I hear the wind outside
Sounds like making hard
It can't be step inside
You call out a name
And it ain't mine oh no no
There's a black cat crossing
And a moon that's full
I've been turning and tossing
'Cause I feel a fool
Then you say you love me
But you always got to go
I'm not superstitious darling
But I ought to know

It's a bad bad bad It's a bad bad bad bad sign
Do you never boo
It's a bad bad bad bad sign
You know that it is
It's a bad bad bad bad sign
I don't mean that I'm superstitious
It's a bad bad bad bad sign
Such a bad bad sign

Bird On The Wire

Bird On The Wire


Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
'Cause you don't care
Let me
Set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me go
Unchain my heart
'Cause you don't love me no more
Every time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me that you're not at home
Unchain my heart
Set me free

Unchain my heart
Baby let me be
Unchain my heart
'Cause you don't care about me
You've got me sowed up like a mellow case
But you let my love go to waste
Unchain my heart
Set me free

I'm under your spell
Like a man in a trance baby
Oh but you're no doubt aware
That I don't stand a chance
Unchain my heart
Let me me go my way
Unchain my heart
You are in me night and day
Why leave me two a life of misery
When you don't care about the beans for me
Unchain my heart oh please
Set me free
Alright
I'm under your spell
Just like a man in a trance oh baby
But you're no doubt aware
That I don't stand a chance
Please unchain my heart
Let me go my way
Unchain my heart
You are in my night and day
Why leave me to a life of misery
When you don't care about the beans for me
Unchain my heart
Please set me free
Oh set me free
Oh woman why don't you do that for me
You don't care
Won't you let me go
That you don't love me no more
Like a man in a trance
let me go
I'm under your spell
Like a man in a trance
And you're no doubt aware
That I don't stand a chance no
Oh
You don't care
Please set me free

Feelin' Alright

Feelin' Alright

Seems I got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it used to be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key

Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself

Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Even now I sit and wonder why
And when I think of you I start to cry
Got to stop belivin' in all your lies
Cause I got to much to do before I die

Before someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and yes a different face

Up where we belong

Up where we belong

Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long, there are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow

N'oubleeay jamay

N'oubleeay jamay

Papa, why do you play our same old songs
Why do you sing with the melody
Cause down on the street something's goin' on
There's a brand new beat
And a brand new song
(He said) In my life there was so much anger
Still I have no regrets
Just like you I would search forever
So dance your own dance
And never forget

[Chorus:]
N'oubleeay jamay
I heard my father say
Every generation has its way
And need to disobey
N'oubleeay jamay
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
And rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais

Mama, why do you dance to the same old songs
Why do you sing only harmony
Cause down on the street something's goin' on
There's a brand new beat
And a brand new song
(She said) In my heart there's a young girl's passion
For a lifelong duet
And someday soon someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song
And never forget
[Repeat chorus]

What is this game
Searching for love affairs
Is obsolete
One of these days you say that
Love will be the cure
I'm not so sure
[Repeat chorus
