"Love And Satisfy"

"Love And Satisfy"


Six more days and I'll be gone
Get on the train, it takes me home
That old train where I belong
Home's gonna feel just fine
That old train is gonna move me down the line.

Yes, I know him and you do too
There's a lot he can do for you
He builds you up and bring you down
Plants your feet right back on the ground
You're so mixed up, your head keeps spinning around.

Ooh, see the light of day
Darkness comes, gonna wash it away
Pretty soon he’ll realise who hides the trip behind an alibi
There's so much inside for both of us
There's no reason to hide and justify
Just love and satisfy
Love and satisfy
Love and satisfy
Love and satisfy.

"Love Story"

"Love Story"


I'm out on the street
All alone by the newsstand
The lady of leisure comes
Tearin' by
Almost knocking me down

She turns at the corner
And looking back
Lets her eyes send the message
I'm helpless alone
And I'm goin' down

Help me I need someone gentle to love me
My life is a miserable comedy
Of strangers
Posing as friends
I know they don't know
Who I am

Hurry it's time to make your move boy
Hurry better get along with it soon boy
Hurry there she goes
Hurry she's out the door boy
You know you can win the battle
But you can lose
The war
Hurry are your feet glued to the pavement boy
You know you can win the battle
But you can lose
The war

Thought I saw a fox I did I saw a fox
Amidst that sea of pride
Running
Let me call a hansom cab
We'll both get in and then go for a ride
Nowhere
Nothing spoken I retreat
Find the subway take a seat
I let myself get in my way
And let her get away

I got off the train at the next stop
And headed back uptown
I knew I could find her
She so needed a friend

I found her alone in a doorway
The tears in her eyes
Said there's nothing that you can say
I just need an ending

I gave her a flower
And got her to smile
And asked her quite frankly
Would she not prefer
A beginning

"Love The One You're With"

"Love The One You're With"


If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away

Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with

Don't be angry - don't be sad
Don't sit crying over good times you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with

Turn your heartache right into joy
'Cause she's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together come on make it nice
You ain't gonna need any more advice

Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with

"Lowdown"

"Lowdown"


Feel such misery and I don't know why
Feel so bad I'm surprised I'm not
Condemned to die

I never thought that heartbreak
Could bring such pain
Guess that's what it's like when you
See different things

And I'm a lowdown
Get me out of this place
And I'm lowdown
Like a hole in space

And I'm lowdown spirit movin' at a dreadful pace
Slowly dyin', I can see it in my face
Sadness and anger all that keeps me goin'
Tired of nothin' but my outsides showin'

And I'm lowdown, dying embers of a fire
Sputtering tears of a lost desire
Hangin' on to hope that just might be
But I feel like I'm hangin' from a dyin' tree

And I'm lowdown and I'm lowdown, lowdown
Get me out of this place
And I'm lowdown lowdown
Like a hole in space
And I'm lowdown and I'm lowdown

"Marianne"

"Marianne"


Can I get through to you now, can I Marianne?
What are you tryin' to do now come on Marianne
Ain't no use in conversation
Poor little girl you're outta this world Marianne

Everyone seems to think you're too much Marianne
Everyone seems to think they know you Marianne
Why you don't even know yourself?
Poor little girl you're out of this world Marianne
Wake up Marianne

Ooh I can tell, you're a sweet little heart breaker Marianne
Don't mind me but I think, I'll see you later Marianne
Don't you go flip out, trip out, skip out
Poor little girl you're outta this world Marianne

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Or are you afraid of the shakeup?
There's a better thing you can take up
Wake up Marianne, wake up Marianne
Wake up Marianne, ooh Marianne
Ooh

"Midnight In Paris"

"Midnight In Paris"


There's a whole lot of magic
When you're in Paris
And I swear I've never seen
So many pretty women go by
And I can't stop from dancing
I'm spinning 'round like a clock
That's wound up too tight

I want to tell you 'bout all I see
Stars in my eyes that you would not believe
I'm a little funky wearin' out my shoes
Don't mean anything unless I'm dancin' with you

Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris

Donne mois ta main
Si je viens de loin
[Foreign Content]
Si je viens de loin
Moi je prux te parler de ma musique
Et parle moi de toi
Si tu veux me dire un jour bon quelque chose
[Foreign Content]
Si tu veux te sentir un moment comme moi
Tu regarde moi quand je danse avec toi

Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris

Well, we'll have another bottle
Monsieur Luigi
So we can toast the autumn
Since it's all around
And I'll always remember
Singing in the park when the rain came down

I want to tell you 'bout all I see
Stars in my eyes that you would not believe
I'm a little funky wearin' out my shoes
Don't mean anything unless I'm dancin' with you
Dancin' with you

Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris

Midnight, midnight in Paris
Midnight, midnight in Paris
When you're in Paris

"Midnight Rider"

"Midnight Rider"


I've got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

I've gone by the point of caring
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
And I've got one more silver dollar

But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch me no
No, I'm not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

"Move Around"

"Move Around"


What do we do
Given life?
We move around

Solitude
Reach for light
Reach or slide
We move around

One searches
For the sake of searching
Clearly then
Stumbling...
Falling...
Lurching...
We move around

A superb point of reference detected
becomes absurd with a moment's reflection
leaves one a passage of simple thought
not sagging with excess weight of excess baggage
and we move around
We move around

One thinks then sinks
Then stands at a brink
Finds a key
Instincts of revelation
drinking in exaltation
We move...

We move around

No need to prove
No one around
No one but you
To stand your ground

We move around

Don't you know its all right
To be wrong thus you grow be amused and be strong

The acceptance of error with grace
Is to refuse to be vain and so afraid of losing face
This fear drives one further into what one thinks
To be a race of life or death
Or simply take another breath
Of nature's air now
Which is fair now
Which is to be alive
To move around

"My Angel"

"My Angel"


My angel there she goes
Where she comes from
Nobody knows
She came walkin' quiet as a bird, walkin' softly
With a good word

And who was I talkin' to
Soon I must see for myself
New love don't run away
I don't think you understand
How deeply you touch me

My angel callin' me soft and low
Love me gentle I've suffered and
Fallen so low
Can I try and love you best I can
Take good care of you be your man

Who was I talkin' to
Soon she will see for herself
New love don't run away
I think she now understands
How deeply she touches me

My angel will she go
Will she move on
I just don't know
If it happens that
She has to go
I'll be sorry but
I can say that I did know
My angel yes I did
I knew my angel

"My Favorite Changes"

"My Favorite Changes"


This is my favorite set of changes
Already good for a couple of songs
Thought I might play them one more time
And over again

Makes me go back to the trouble I got into
Tryin' to live up to what they said I lucked into
At twenty-five

And this part reminds me of my lady
She loves me she's waitin' at home
And the baby she's makin'
I tell you it's frightenin'
How she trusts me so
And all of the sad times the bitter taste
Left by the struggle to grow
Must my baby know the blues

So if you're still listenin'
I hope you'll remember
The kid with the big white guitar
And all the sad stories to tell

I think it's high time
I went home she'll be worryin'
And missin' me so
How long can I let it drive
Me crazy this music won't
Let me go

But here I stand tryin' so hard to find
One more clever line
For this song of mine
But I can't seem to find
Anything that will rhyme
With my favorite changes
