"Pure Love"

"Pure Love"


[Verse:]
If an old friend lets you down
And a true love can’t be found
Till the blue skies come around
I’ll be right by your side

Journey far and travel safe
Make this world a better place
And keep that smile upon your face
I’ll be right by your side

There may be oceans in between us now
But I think about you every minute now
No don’t forget me now that we’re apart
Just open up that great big loving heart

[Chorus:]
And you’ll always be
You’ll always be
You’ll always be a part... of me...

[Verse:]
Take your time to embrace romance
Teach your children how to sing and dance
Love may hurt but it’s worth the chance
I’ll be right by your side

Try to be the best you can
She’ll come crashing to every man
And always take the higher ground
I’ll be right by your side

I hear your laughter echo through this house
I miss all of this there is no doubt
I wasn’t perfect this I would admit
I was always tryin to make the pieces fit

[Chorus:]
And you’ll always be
You’ll always be
You’ll always be a part... of me...

Don’t ask me now the time has gone
I’ve loved you since the minute you were born
So many times we have laughed and cried
I see you now it fills my heart with pride

[Chorus:]
You’ll always be
You’ll always be
You’ll always be a part... of me...

"Purple Heather"

"Purple Heather"


[Intro not in English]

Oh the summer time is gone
And the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie. go

If you will not go with me
I will never find another
To pick wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go
Lassie, go

I will build my love a tower
by the cool crystal waters
And I'll cling to her forever
Like the ivy to the heather
Will you go, lassie, go

(1) And we'll go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go

Lassie, go

[Not in English]

Will you go, lassie, go

[Repeat (1)]
And we'll all go together
Tp pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go
Lassie, go
Lassie, go

"Rainy Night In Georgia"

"Rainy Night In Georgia"


Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin' it's all right

A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
And I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

Neon signs are flashin'
Taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night

A rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over this world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

How many times I've wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It's life and you just gotta play the game, play the game

I find me a place in a box car
So I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine

But it's a rainy night in Georgia
Baby, it's a rainy night in Georgia
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Kinda lonely now 'cause it's rainin' all over the world

It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
I'm cold and I'm lonely and it's rainin'
Rainin' all over the world
It's rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin' all over the world

"Ready Now"

"Ready Now"


I gave trust like an innocent kid
I believed everything you said
A parasite that fed on doubt
yeah it's you that I'm talking about
You rode heavy on my fame
then you scandalized my name
You robbed me blind with a ( )
You lacerated your closest friend
I don't know how you sleep at
night with your conscience
Do they still kiss your feet
and is life as sweet in my absence

I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live

I don't want no sweet revenge
it'll come and get you in the end
Laugh now while the truth's unknown
cause pretty soon it'll be my turn
One of these days and it won't be long
I will find you
Lock up your gates
you'll need all of your snakes
to defend you

I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give
I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live

I'm bitter now, but wait and see
You ain't heard the last of me
I'll dance on your grave
when they finally put you away
What'd I do to deserve all this evil attention
A thousand years will never buy you redemption

Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give
Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give
Are you ready

"Reason To Believe"

"Reason To Believe"


If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself

"Rebel Heart"

"Rebel Heart"


I picked her up about a quarter to nine
My brother told me I was wasting my time
A woman like that'll only cause you confusion
but go ahead you may find it amusing
She came to the door wearing a suit and tie
her hair cropped short I couldn't figure out why

Rebel heart don't be a loner
Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
where you from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on

I wanted to dance but she flatly refused
I told her jokes but she was not amused
Tried to kiss her but she wouldn't stand still
Started thinking this was overkill
Next thing I know I was flyin' for cover
it was her steady girlfriend and a live-in lover

Rebel heart why don't you try it
Rebel heart you can't deny it
Rebel heart you may like it
I'll change your mind if you'll give me time
about everything that's on your mind

I stayed awake all last night fantasizing about you baby
You know I'd walk a million miles across broken glass
or a red hot Arabian desert
if I could just have one night in your long brass bed

Evening wound up on a very sad note
I drove her home and then she went for my throat
She said, "it's fairly obvious I ain't attracted to you
You bore me to tears honest you do
And by the way I can't stand your British"
I said, "don't start something, honey, you know you can't finish"

Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
where you're from and where you belong
and everything that turns you on

You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me I knew that it had to be

I'd lift you up with my own arms honey
I can't get enough
I'd walk down Fifth Avenue entirely naked
I promise I won't drink, swear, womanize
I'd go to church every Sunday
for just one night with you

Rebel heart I'm your lover
Rebel heart I wanna discover
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart I'm glad I met ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah
Rebel heart I won't forget ya
Rebel heart give me an answer
Oh yeah oh yeah

"Red Hot In Black"

"Red Hot In Black"


I met her in a little French cafe
Legs like a young giraffe
She was sitting reading Baudelaire
Not exactly working class

She had a studio in St. Michel
Crucifix around her waist
Che Guevara all over the wall
She can't stand the sun on her face

Hey boys, what a look
Stop a train at fifty feet
Matching hair, matching clothes and eyes
Kinda like a tiger in heat
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Revolution running through her veins
A radical from head to toe
The only record that she ever played
Was "just like a rolling stone"

We started talking by the candlelight
Her lips get closer to mine
We started dancing all around the room
Helped by a bottle of wine

Hey boys, mystery
Didn't even know her name
One night in Paris, with a girl like that
Never going home again
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Oh my, when I woke up
She'd already gone out to her work
My head was aching and my back was scratched
I've never, never, never known a night like that

Took a walk along the avenue
So in love and so confused
My plane was leaving in half an hour
What would you have done in my shoes?

Hey boys, so you see
Couldn't get her outa my head
My regards to the folks back home
Gonna spend some time with red
Red hot in black
Red hot in black

Listen!
The tree is ready and the stockings are all hung
The fire is blazing and the carols are all sung
Everybody's waiting for a miracle, so

How amazing if the world was giving and kind
It might be crazy, It might take a miracle

He knows everybody, 'got a list with all our names
And he rocks the whole world in that old fashioned sleigh

Check out the North star, didn't it start it all?
It's still shinin',that's a miracle
So Santa bring some hope to us all

And he rocks the whole world in that old fashioned sleigh

Oh yes I do, oh yes I do

"Rhythm Of My Heart"

"Rhythm Of My Heart"


Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
where they're downing only deer
a hundred steel towns away

Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby
Oh baby

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing

Oh I've got lightning in my veins
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
no expression on my face

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

"Rocks"

Thieves keep thievin'
Whores keep whorin'

Trade is on the meat rack
Strip joints full of hunchbacks
Bitches keep bitchin'
Clap keeps itchin'

Get your rocks off
Get your rocks off, honey
Shake it now now
Get'em off downtown
Get your rocks off
Get you rocks off, honey

Death keeps knockin'
Souls are up for auction
