"One Night Of Sin"

"One Night Of Sin"


One night of sin
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and saw
Would make the earth stand still
Don't call my name
It makes me feel so ashamed
I've lost my sweet helping hand
I've got myself to blame

I've always lived
A very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know That sinful wild life
Would cause me nothing but harm

One night of sin
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and saw
Would make the earth stand still
Tell me 'bout it feel
Don't call my name
It makes me feel so ashamed
I lost my sweet helping hand
I've got myself to blame

I've always lived
A very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that bad and wild life
Would cause me nothing but harm

One night of sin
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and saw
Would make the earth stand still
Oh yeah

"One Word (Peace)"

"One Word (Peace)"


A man stands on the corner holding a sign
People yell at him as they drive by
I wonder what they read, made them so upset
I looked at the sign and all it said:

One word: Peace
In the Neighborhood, Peace
One Word: Peace
In my own backyard, Peace

A man in a foreign land kneels to pray
And wonders where the bombs will fall today
Our leaders tell me to fear him you see
Love conquers all is what I believe

One word: Peace
In the neighborhood, Peace
One word: Peace
In My Own backyard, Peace

Everybody's talking about it
Everybody's got to have their say
But to achieve it, there is only one way
And it starts with me and the word and the word is:

Peace
In the neighborhood
One word: Peace
In My Own backyard
Peace
One Word

One word: Peace
In the neighborhood, Peace
One word: Peace
In My Own backyard, Peace

"Out Of The Blue"

"Out Of The Blue"


[Chorus:]
Out of this world
Out of this mind
Out of this love for you
Out of this world
Out of the blue
Out of this love for you

Sometimes I don't know you
You're like someone else
But that's allright
I'm a stranger here myself

She don't shed a tear
When I walk out that door
She knows, she knows
I'll be coming back for more

[Chorus]

It's in the cards
It's written in the stars
It's in the wee-wee hours
In some lonely bar

She don't stay up all night
And walk the floor
She knows damn well
I'll be coming back for more

[Chorus]

"Out Of The Rain"

"Out Of The Rain"


Out Of The Rain, Under The Shelter I'Ve Been So Long Where
The Sun Don'T Shine Standing At The Cross-Roads, Could Have
Went Ither Way But Now I'Ve Found You And The Storm Is
Behind

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain

Over The Wall, I'M Out In The Open Back On The Right Track, I'M
Feeling No Pain You Took A Sparrow And Let It Fly With The
Eagles I Can See A Long Ways, I Feel Love Again

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain

There Was A Time I Was Taking No Prisoners Standing With A
Cold Heart, Standing Alone It Took Your Sweet Love To Pull
Me Out Of The Canyon I Believe I Can Make It Now, I Feel Like I
Belong

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain Out Of The Rain, Out Of The
Rain

"Pardon Me Sir"


Pardon me, friend
If what I’m saying don’t seem right
But that ‘s the only chance I get now for being man, yeah

Pardon me, sir
If what’s I’m saying frays you now
But that’s the only way to show you that I’m a clown, oho, yeah

I’m quite sure you understand, my baby
I’m quite sure you understand

Pardon me, friend
If what I’m saying don’t ring true
But that’s the only way I know now to get through to you

Well, pardon me, sir
If what I’m doing brings you down
But that’s the only place I know, sir, it’s time for town

"Performance"

"Performance"


Your performance is almost over
When you’re through I will take you home
To a place where the water’s always fresh and cool
I will lay you down, take off your shoes

Yes, the curtain is about to take your place
There’s that sad, almost grin upon your face
‘Cause you know you’ve done your best
Now honey leave the rest to me and I’ll take care of you

As they watch you fall down to your knees
They don’t know that you’re praying to please
They don’t see the little angel at your back with a star
The only one who knows exactly who you are

You’re a thing that makes music they don’t understand
And they cheer as you carry out your endless plan
You are weary but you must, it’s the only thing you trust
As you live you’ve got to give

Your performance is almost over
When you’re through I will take you home
You’re a ghost that I can see, you’re the other part of me
Now honey I will take care of you

‘Cause you know you’ve done your best
Now honey leave the rest to me and I’ll take care of you

"Please No More"

"Please No More"


We start a fight, who knows what for
Who knows who's winning, or who's keeping score
You say it's all right, as you slam the door
All I can say is, "Please no more, please no more."

I've had enough after how I swore
I'd never give you up
Loving you was easy, but one thing's for sure
It ain't me, it ain't me, you're trying to please no more.

Passions will burn, burn endlessly
All that's left behind are these broken dreams
While I still got some pieces laid out on the floor
I'm asking you baby, "Please no more, please no more."

I've had enough, after how I swore
I'd never give you up
Loving you was easy, but one thing's for sure
It ain't me, it ain't me, you're trying to please no more.

"Put Out The Light"

"Put Out The Light"


Why should I worry when I know you're loving me
Why should I care when there's joy everywhere
Why can't I see the beauty of the life

Somebody I trusted, trusted
Somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved

But please don't put out the light
Put out the light, turn the day into night
Put out the light, put out light
Turn the day into night, turn the day into night
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

I got this good old melody
I think it's makin' me blue only
Then I hear the symphony
That's what I get and
That's what's been taken out, the best of me

Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

Why should I hurry? I do the best I can
Do what I do and I hope you understand
Why can't I see the beauty of the life?

Somebody I trusted
Somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved

But please don't put out the light
Put out the light, turn the day into night
Turn the day into night, put out light
Put out the light, turn the day into night
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

Please don't, somebody I trusted
Somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved

But please don't
[?] please don't put out the light
Put out the light
Hey, hey, hey, yeah

Put out the light, don't put out the light, yeah
Put out the light, don't put out the light, yeah
Put out the light, don't put out the light, yeah

"Respect Yourself"

"Respect Yourself"


If you disrespect everybody that you run into
How in the world do you think anybody 'sposed to respect you
If you don't give a heck about the man with the Bible in his hand
Just get out the way and let the gentleman do his thing
You're the kind of gentleman that wants everything their way
Take the sheet off your face boy, it's a brand new day

Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good hoot, na- na- na
Respect yourself
Respect yourself

If you're walking around thinking that the word owes you
something cause you're here
You're going out the world backwards like you did when you first came her
You keep talking about the president won't stop air pollution
Put your hand over your mouth when you cough that'll help the solution
You cuss around women and you don't even know their names
Then You're dumb enough to think that it makes you a big ol' man

Respect yourself
Respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good hoot, na- na- na
Respect yourself
Respect yourself

Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself
Respect yourself

"Ring Them Bells"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Ring Them Bells"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride.

Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an ironhand
So the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow.

Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one
Oh the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled with lost sheep
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through
Ring them bells for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence dies.

Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
Oh the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong.
