"No Thing"

"No Thing"


People come and people go
One monkey don't stop no show
I'm getting too tired to start all over again
Cos it ain't gonna change no thing

There's just all of this here land
Been trampled on by man
And all around me, all these birds of prey
And all I'm trying to do is just get by one more day

Only a fool would ever think things could ever be the same
Only a fool would surmise everyone is sane

I watch them come and go
I'm fed up with the status quo
And I'm feeling too tired to start all over again
Cos I know that it ain't gonna change no thing

Only a fool could think that things would ever be simple again
Only a fool would surmise everyone is the same

So I watch them come and go
I don't have time for the status quo
I say blessed be and I'm on my way, on my way
Cos it ain't gonna change no thing, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well it ain't gonna change no thing, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well it ain't gonna change no thing

"No Trouble Livin'"

"No Trouble Livin'"


Don't talk to me 'bout life problems or
How you wish that things could be
'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'
It's jus' dyin that bothers me

Don't offer me no sad stories or
Tell me that you're all at sea
'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'
It's jus' dyin that bothers me

You doin' great
You gettin' straight
You get your call
That's all

So don't tell me your misgivings
Or not to be or not to be
'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'
It's jus' dyin that bothers me

You doin' fine
You sippin' wine
You feel a pain
Last train

So don't tell me your misgivings
Or blame it on the referree
'Cause I don't have no trouble livin'
It's jus' dyin that bothers me

"No Way Pedro"

"No Way Pedro"


No way Pedro, no way Jose
I just wanna know, are you goin' my way?
Oh, I saw you standin' by the borderline
You can never make up your mind

No way Cisco, no way Pancho
Why don't you meet me, back at the rancho?
Well, if you get there, please don't be late
How can I get you now, if I hesitate?

No way Kemosabe, no way Tonto
Come here quick, ya gotta make it pronto
Well, when you head them, off at the pass
Baby, I just want a love to last

No way Pedro, no way Jose
Just wanna know, are you goin' my way?
Oh, I saw you standin', by the borderline
I just want you to make up, your goddamned mind

You'll never make up your mind

Well, you'll never make up your mind

"Nobody Really Knows"

"Nobody Really Knows"


We stood outside the city,
six feet in the snow,
and everyone was stranded
and I stopped to say, "hello".
Everybody kept on walkin'
who didn't have no place to go.
Everybody kept on walkin'
that had no place to go,
and everybody's talkin'
but nobody really knows,
nobody really knows.

And say, I think you'll stay awhile,
you know just where it's at.
Pull up a chair and
stay awhile,
we'll give ya' tit for tat.
I said, "You know something,
I'm not sure I really like that."
I said, "You know something,
I believe I'll grab my coat and hat."
I got outside,
down in the street below, and everybody started walkin'
that didn't have no place to go,
and everybody's talkin'
but nobody, nobody really know, no,
nobody really know.

And say you think "you're really good for us.
We know you are and it's true,
ain't nobody can do more for you
than we can do.
We can give ya' money,
watch you spend it all the time,
and make sure
you don't
ride on down the line."
I said, "I believe I won't
'cause I ain't got no place to go."
I'm just stranded and I'm walkin',
and I don't have no place to go,
and everybody's talkin'
but nobody, nobody really know,
nobody really know.

And they say, "Sing the song one more time
'cause I really believe I know what it means,
I was with you last night
when you wrote it in your dreams."
I said, "Is that right?
How
can you be so complete?
Y', you can't stop talkin'
every time you move your feet."
You know that we're all stranded,
we ain't got no place to go.
We are stranded here
in the city in the snow,
and everybody's talkin'
but nobody really knows,
nobody really know.
Everybody's talkin',
everybody's talkin',
everybody's talkin',
and everybody's talkin' but
nobody really know.
Everybody's talkin' but
nobody, nobody really know,
they just pretend they know.
Nobody really know.

"Northern Muse (Solid Ground)"

"Northern Muse (Solid Ground)"


And she moves on the solid ground
And she shines light all around
And she moves on the solid ground
In the County Down

And she moves on the solid earth
And she knows what her wisdom is worth
And she moves on the solid ground
In the County Down

She lifts me up
Fill my cup
When I'm tired and weary, Lord
And she keeps the flame
And she give me hope
(To) carry on

If you see her
Say, "Hello"
Well she's someone that I surely know
When I was young she made me roam from my home
In the County Down

She lifts me up
She fill my cup
When I'm tired and weary, Lord
And she keeps the flame
And she give me hope
(To) carry on

If you see her
Say, "Hello"
Well she's someone that I'd surely know
When I was young she made me run from my home
In the County Down

And she moves on the solid ground
And she moves in the County Down
In the County Down
When she moves...

"Not Supposed To Break Down"

"Not Supposed To Break Down"


You're not supposed to be human
You're not supposed to really feel
Not supposed to get involved
With anything completely real
Fifteen families starving
All around the corner block
Here we're standing so alone
Just like Gibraltar Rock

Not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the dirt
Keep listening to the hurt
You'll be safe and sound

Supposed to be super human
Cover everything
Just like a bird
Cover an egg with it's wing
And knowing there's nothing sacred
And what is the use
>No point trying to find
What is worth, what is true

Not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt Listen to the dirt
You'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
And you'll be safe and sound

A fool and his mainline connection
By-pass going to the well
But that doesn't matter anymore
I'm sure that we can tell
Who's a puppet on a string
An' who really holds the glove
But it ain't up you and me
It's up to the Lord above

You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Keep on listening to the dirt
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound

You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound

"Oh The Warm Feeling"

"Oh The Warm Feeling"


Oh the warm feeling
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you

Like a child within the kingdom
As we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you

And it filled with devotion
And it made me plainly see
And it healed all my emotions
As I sat by you

As we sat inside the sunshine
And we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling, as I sat by you

And it filled me with religion
And it gave great comfort to me
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you

Oh the warm feeling as we sat beside the sea
Oh the warm feeling as I sat by you.

"Old Black Joe"

"Old Black Joe"


Gone are the days
When my heart was young and gay
Gone are toils
Of the cotton fields away
Gone to the fields
Of a better land, I know
I hear those gentle voices callin' me
Old Black Joe

I'm comin', I'm comin'
Though my head is bendin' low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe

I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Well, I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Though my head (my head, my head is bendin' low)
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe

Gone are the days
When my heart was young and gay
Gone are the toils of the cotton fields, away
Gone to the fields of a better land I know
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe

I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Oh, an' I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Well oh well, my head (my head) is bendin' low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe

I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Oh, an' I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Can ya see my head (my head) is bendin' low
I hear those gentle voices calling
Old Black Joe

Old Black Joe

Old Black Joe

"Old Old Woodstock"

"Old Old Woodstock"


Oh don't it get you
Get you when you're through
Feel the breezes blowing all around your coat
Oh don't it get you
When you gotta roam
Hear the children singing
'Daddy's coming home'

Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Going down to give my baby a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees

Here I come a swaggering
Way on over the ridge
See the water flowing way beneath the bridge
And my woman's waiting
By the kitchen door
I'm driving along
In my old beat up car

Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Give my child a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
To feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees

Listen, Oh don't it get you
Get you in your throat
Feel the breezes blowing
All around your coat
Lord don't it get you
When you're bound to roam
Hear your children sing
'Daddy's coming home'

Going down to old old woodstock
To feel the cool night breeze
Give my child a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
To feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees
Going down to old old woodstock.....
