"Change In The Weather"

"Change In The Weather"


Aaah!

[CHORUS:]
Change in the weather, change in the weather,
Somethin's happenin' here.
Change in the weather, change in the weather,
People walkin' round in fear.

Uh huh, you better duck and run,
Get under cover 'cause the change has come.
Storm warning, and it looks like rain,
Be nothin' left after the hurricance.
This here's a jungle, ain't no lie,
Look at the people, terror in their eyes.
Bad business comin', can't be denied,
They're running with the dogs, afraid to die.

[CHORUS]

Uh huh, you best believe it's true,
The levee's busted, badness comin' through.
Oh no, there ain't no place to hide,
Reach out and pluck you, take you for a ride.
Sea of frustration, take everything in sight,
Won't be no blessing if we make it through the night.
Down on your knees, go ahead and pray,
But every demon has to have his day.

[CHORUS]

Well! Oh, God!

High noon, I can't believe my eyes,
Wind is ragin', there's a fire in the sky.
Ground shakin', everything comin' loose,
Run like a coward but it ain't no use.
Edge of the river, it's an ugly scene,
People gettin' pushed, people gettin' mean.
The change is comin' and it's gettin' late,
Ain't no survivin', and there ain't no escape.

[CHORUS]

Oh!

[CHORUS]

Well! Oh, no!

"Creedence Song"

"Creedence Song"


Daddy had a band
Playing him a little guitar
Travel in a van
Livin' that rock and roll
Night after night
People comin' up to the bandstand
Say you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song

It was late one night
Cruisin' on down the interstate
Stopped into a diner
To get him some chili and fries
Heard the waitress tell a guy
Standin' over by the jukebox
Yeah, you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song

Do do
Do do
Do do
Yeah

But daddy took a shine
Little girl behind the counter
She was moving her hips to the swamp beat
Right on time
Said could he play somethin'
Over there on the jukebox
She said you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song

Daddy had a plan
He asked that girl to marry
With a brand new wife
They're living on rock & roll
Night after night
She whispers oh so sweetly
Hey you can't go wrong
If you play a little bit of that
Creedence song
Yeah, you can't go wrong if you play a little bit of that Creedence song

Do do
Do do
Do do
Well

"Deja Vu (All Over Again)"

"Deja Vu (All Over Again)"


Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you try to read the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like deja vu all over again

Day by day I hear the voices rising
Started with a whisper like it did before
Day by day we count the dead and dying
Ship those bodies home while the networks all keep score

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Could you're eyes belive the writing on the wall
Did that voice inside you say I've heard it all before
It's like deja vu all over again

One by one I see the old ghosts rising
Stumblin' 'cross Big Muddy
Where the light gets dim
Day after day another Mamma's crying
She's lost her precious child
To a war that has no end

Did you hear 'em talkin' 'bout it on the radio
Did you stop to read the writing at the wall
Did that voice inside you say
I've seen this all before
It's like deja vu all over again
It's like deja vu all over again

"Don't You Wish It Was True"

"Don't You Wish It Was True"


I dreamed I walked in heaven
Just the other night
There was so much beauty
So much light

Don't you wish it was true
Don't you wish it was true

An angel took my hand
Said you don't have to hurry
Got all the time in the world
Don't worry

Don't you wish it was true
Lord, don't you wish it was true

But if tomorrow
Everybody was your friend
Anyone could take you in
No matter what or where you've been

But if tomorrow
Everybody had enough
The world wasn't quite so rough
Lord, don't you wish it was true

He said the world's gonna change
And it's starting today
There'll be no more armies
No more hate

Don't you wish it was true
Ah, don't you wish it was true

And all the little children
Who live happily
There'll be singing and laughter
Sweet harmony

Don't you wish it was true
Lord, Don't you wish it was true

But if tomorrow everybody under the sun
Was happy just living as one
No borders or battles to be won

But if tomorrow
Everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end
Lord, don't you wish it was true

Alright

But if tomorrow everybody under the sun
Was happy just to live as one
No borders or battles to be won

But if tomorrow everybody was your friend
Happiness would never end

Lord, don't you wish it was true
Lord, don't you wish it was true

Alright
What a beautiful day

"Down On The Corner"

"Down On The Corner"


Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out, on his Kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance, doubles on kazoo

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

You don't need a penny, just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

"Dream Song"

"Dream Song"


Would you like to sail the sea, like a pirate, wild and free?
Cast your whole life upon the wind, well it's your song, and it's your dream.

Would you like, to turn the page; Fight the dragon, or find your maid,
Makin' merry at the village green, well it's your song, and it's your dream.

Would you like to lead the band, hittin' that old time sweet Dixieland,
And that side show go marchin' on, well it's your dream, and it's your song.

Would you like to be a song, like a river just rolls along,
Teach the whole world how to sing, well it's your song, and it's your dream.
It's your song, and it's your dream.

"Eye Of The Zombie"

"Eye Of The Zombie"


Hoo! Oooooh!

Shadows on the mountain, and the night begins to fall;
Gather up the children, 'fore the darkness takes us all.
Tribe has come together, standin' naked against the night;
Twenty feet from the fire, the evil waits with zombie eyes.

[CHORUS:]
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!
Eye-eye-eye eye of the Zombie!

Oh! Sneakin' through the long grass on leopard feet silently,
A beast already dead comes to join the dance on the zombie.
Ooh! Time has come again - again the moment of truth;
The terror is at hand, and there's nothin' you can do.

[CHORUS]

Oh! Hoo! Aaa-aah! Hoo! Aaa-aaa-aaaah!

From out of nowhere he's there, flashing hideous teeth,
Panic in the crowd, helter-skelter, we're brought to our knees.
Back to the darkness, back on the mountain he stands,
You can't fight a shadow, you can't kill a dead man.

[CHORUS (X4)]

"Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'"

"Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'"


My heart is breaking, darling
As the many tears are falling
Falling, falling, falling just for you.

My eyes are burning, darling
While my heart is sad and yearning
Yearning, yearning, burning just for you.

Oh, you didn't have to go and leave me all alone
I'm sure you think that breaking hearts are fun
But someday you may find out when your new love is gone
That deep down in your heart I'm still the one.

I need you with me, darling
Always with me, darling
Need you, need you, need you, I'm so blue.

Oh, hear my calling, darling
And stop these tears from falling
Falling, falling, falling just for you.

Yeah!

My heart is breaking, darling
And many tears are falling
Falling, falling, falling just for you.

My eyes are burning, darling
While my heart is sad and yearning
Yearning, yearning, burning just for you.

Well, you didn't have to go and leave me all alone
I'm sure you think that breaking hearts are fun
But someday you may find out when your new love is gone
That deep down in your heart I'm still the one.

I need you with me, darling
Always with me, darling
Need you, need you, need you, I'm so blue.

Oh, hear my calling, darling
And stop these tears from falling
Falling, falling, falling just for you.

Yeah!

"Flyin' Away"

"Flyin' Away"


Well I feel like flyin' away, 'cause more and more I'm just in the way, yeah.
Through the night, and far across the sky,
There's another light, you know I must fly.
Far, far away.

Well I feel it now, somehow in me, the power of flight should appear,
I hear a song callin' my name, and I might be wrong, but I'm goin' just the same.

Far, far away.

Well I feel like flyin' away, and walk on the clouds along the way.
Well don't be sad, it's gonna be alright, yeah.
And if you're strong, just come along tonight.
Far, far away; far, far away.

"Fortunate Son"

"Fortunate Son"


Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays, "Hail To The Chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves? Yoh
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yeah

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more" yoh

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
