"Failsafe Day"

"Failsafe Day"


What I see just takes the heart from me
It's all okay they keep telling me
Somehow it feels like failsave day
You know it's almost failsave day

It's not the time now don't go sad on me
Yeah we can run the illusion is free
Let's not just throw this change away
You know it's almost failsave day

And deep inside I hear that something
Like a silent scream
And in the night I hear that rumbling
Keep on hoping that it's just a dream

Wish there was some time to buy or steal
'Cause there's this stranger in the air I breathe
Deep down it feels like failsave day
They're gonna fade us all away

Deep inside I hear that something
Like a silent scream
The voice inside just tells me one thing
Keep on hoping that it's just a dream

What I see just chrills the heart in me
It's all okay but they're not fooling me
You know it's almost failsave day
Somehow it feels like failsave day
You know it's almost failsave day
They're gonna fade it all away

"Feel So Bad"

"Feel So Bad"


I feel so bad, feel like a ball game on a rainy day
I feel so bad. feel like a ball game on a rainy day
Since I lost my baby, shake my head and walk away

Sometimes I wanna stay here, then again I wanna leave
Sometimes I wanna leave here, then again I wanna stay
Since I lost my baby, shake my head and walk away, yeah walk away

Listen to me people, I'm trying, I'm trying to tell you how I feel
Listen to me, I'm talking people, I'm trying, I, I'm trying, I'm trying
Yes I lost my baby, I got a low down dirty deal

I feel so bad, feel like a ball game on a rainy day
I feel so bad, so bad, like a ball game on a rainy day
Since I lost my baby, shake my head and walk away

Sometimes I wanna stay here, then again I wanna leave
Sometimes I wanna leave here, then again I wanna stay
Since I got my bags packed, I'll take a train and ride away

"Follow Me"

"Follow Me"


I want to plant to the star in the sky,
One you can find at the end of the night.
I want to climb a ladder to space,
Leave without trace, 'cos now is the time.
Things are gonna be so clear,
When I'm light years from here,
In some other space.
Let me take the tear from your eye,
Leave it behind, stay by my side.
Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.
Won't you follow me, time is tight,
Before things swallow me down.
I've been locked in this cage,
Gonna break away, before it's too late.
I'm gonna re-write the page,
Take the stage, and live tomorrow today.
You'll find the dreams you mislaid,
They won't run away, all the dues have been paid.
Yes, it's time to depart, go with your heart,
Follow the flame.
Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.
Won't you follow me, time is tight,
Before things swallow me down.
Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.
Won't you follow me, time is tight,
Before things swallow me down.
Won't you follow me where I'm bound,
Time's for borrowing now.

"For The Last Time"

"For The Last Time"


You've done me wrong,
For the last time,
You've sung your song,
Now I'm going to sing mine,
Out loud, so loud,
Like the roaring sea.

You've played around,
For the last time,
You've shown your claws,
Now I'm going to show mine,
Watch out, I'll be about,
In the night.

You ran around,
Since the very first day,
You've had your moment,
Now I'm gonna have my play,
So long, I'll be gone,
In the night.

You put me down,
For the very last time,
I hit the floor,
But I got up on the count of nine,
Goodbye, don't cry,
When I'm gone.

"Fuel To The Fire"

"Fuel To The Fire"


Had me a whiskey, and I chased it,
Got me some trouble, gonna face it,
But if I had a trump card, I would place it,
That's for sure....yeah...

I had a dream, but I can't trace it,
I call out your name, so you might hear it,
But it only adds fuel, to the fire,
In my soul....yeah...

If I could just, re-write the pages,
Wake up with peace, with the way it is,

I don't wanna live in this world, if you can't grace it,
Anymore....anymore.....yeah...

Friends try to raise my spirits, higher,
Well, there's no doubting, the strong desire,
They don't feel the heat, of the fire,
In my soul....In my soul...

Had me a whiskey, and I chased it,
Got me some trouble, gonna face it,
But if I had a trump card, I would place it,
Yeah...At your door....oh yeah...

"Ghost Blues"

"Ghost Blues"


Came home this morning,
Looking half-way like a ghost.
Walked in this morning,
Feeling half-way like a ghost.

Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.
Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.

Yeah...yeah

If I had some sense,
I'd tear that building down.
If I had some sense,
I'd tear that building down.

No more gin house,
Just smiles instead of frowns.
No more gin house,
Smiles instead of frowns.

Came home this morning,
Found her crying by the door.
Came home this morning,
Found her crying by the door.

Make my promise,
Won't barrel-house no more.
You've got my word,
Won't barrel-house no more.

I can see the ghost,
Feeling like a ghost.

Came home this morning,
Looking half-way like a ghost.
Came home this morning,
Feeling half-way like a ghost.

Face looked like marble,
My blood burned just like toast.
Face looked like marble,
Blood burned just like toast.

Yeah...

"Going To My Home Town"

"Going To My Home Town"


Mama's in the kitchen baking up a pie.
Daddy's in the backyard, "Get a job, son,
You know you ought to try".
I packed up my bag, I headed down the road,
I got me a job from Henry Ford.
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far
And now I know what the lonesome blues are...
I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue,
I need someone to talk to.
I`m getting lonesome, I'm getting blue,
Let me tell you where I'm going to...

Yes I'm going to my home town,
I don't care ever even if I have to walk.
Yes I'm going to my home town,
I don't care even if I have to walk.
I gotta move on now baby, I got no more time left to talk.

Yes I'm going to my home town,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Yes I'm going to my home town,
Sorry but I can't take you.
Only got one ticket, you know I just can't afford two.
Take me home.

The day I left,
You know the rain was pouring down.
The day I left,
You know the rain was pouring down.
I'm going home again baby,
I believe the sun's gonna come on out.
Let's go home, boy, let's go home.

Yes I'm going to my home town,
You know baby I gotta go.
Going to my home town,
You know I just have to go.
I really love you, woman,
I'll see you in a year, maybe no, maybe yes.

Going to my home town,
I'm going to my home town,
Going to my home town,
Going to my home town.

"Gypsy Woman"
(originally by Muddy Waters)

"Gypsy Woman"
(originally by Muddy Waters)



The gypsy woman told me
You were your mother's bad luck child
The gypsy woman told me
You were your mother's bad luck child
You're having a good time now
You'll be having trouble after a while
Went to see the gypsy woman
To have my fortune told
She said run right home right away
And look through your keyhole
The gypsy woman told me
You were your mother's bad luck child
You're having a good time now
You'll be having bad times after a while
I believed everything the gypsy woman told me
Every single word she said
I ran right home right away
And looked through my keyhole
Another man in my bed
The gypsy woman told me
You were your mother's bad luck child
You're having a good time now
You'll be having bad times after a while
