Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey
Skippin' and a-jumpin'
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you

My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl

A three-chord symphony crashes into space
The moon is hanging upside down
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
It's a ravenous town
You still refuse to be traced
Seem to me such a waste
Every victory has a taste that's bittersweet

And it's your face I'm a looking for
On every street

Three chords and the truth,
Three chords and the truth,
The only crime that Joe Hill done,
Was three chords and the truth.
He sang his old union songs,
He got his message through,
But they couldn't stand to hears a workingman sing,
Three chords and the truth.

Now look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say, we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah, but everybody's only looking out for themselves
And you say, well, who can you trust
I'll tell you, it's just nobody else's money

Yes, I ain't gonna give nobody none o' my jelly roll, jelly roll
I ain't gonna give nobody none to save your soul
I said jelly, jelly roll
Baba-doo-dit-zoo-zah-zah-zeh
Aw-bah-zit-zou-ah-bah-dabba
Zoo-zee-zit-zoo-ba-by-ooh-zah-zee

Well, jelly roll, jelly roll, jelly roll
Ain't gonna give nobody none
When you see me walking down the street
Down where the cats all meet
Jelly, jelly roll
I ain't gonna give you none

a bit morose but good:

Yeah
Scratch my back, baby
Ah
Now by this time I'm plenty high
You know when your mouth a-getting dry 
You're plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said look man, come down here, he got down there
So what you want this time?
I said look man, a-what time is it?
He said the clock on the wall say three o'clock
Last call for alcohol
So what you need?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week

London calling is brilliant.  https://americansongwriter.com/behind-song-clash-london-calling/  but u gotta be in the mood

 

Sister why'd you call him, that's a timely idea
Something's ringing dear, it will be good to my ear
Everybody must agree that dancing has charm
When you're in the circle with your love in your arms
Stepping out but you won't be a sweet interlude
Oh, fill the room without me, put me in the mood

In the mood, that's it, I got it
In the mood, you're in the spot and
In the mood, what a heartache
Feel alive, I get the jive, you got in that hall
