A Day in the Life

 

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

Down in Louisiana, where the black trees grow
Lives a voodoo lady named Marie Laveau
She got a black cat's tooth and a Mojo bone
And anyone who wouldn't leave her alone
She'd go... another man done gone

She lived in a swamp in a hollow log
With a one-eyed snake and a three-legged dog
Bent, bony body and stringy hair
And if she ever seen y'all messin' 'round there
She'd go... another man done gone

And then one night when the moon was black
Into the swamp came handsome Jack
A no good man like you all know
Lookin' around for Marie Laveau

Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie)
I don't need a reason why

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man

There can be but better ways from yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days for better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing to live and live some more

 

And I'm left with the truth and I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time maybe never
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do, yeah

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
We didn't have much time now

 

Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground

 

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
(Smoke) on the water, you guys are great

I hear records in my head everywhere that I go
I've got records in my head spinning out of control
They go round and around and again
Round and around and again
Round and around and oh yeah
Records in my head

Ooh, I feel Rihanna
Ooh, I'm feeling Lana
Ooh, I feel Nirvana
Ooh, so you can f*&k off

'Cause sometimes I don't want to deal
No one cares what I think or feel
Peel off the plastic, smell the vinyl
For me it's like a Holy Bible

People are talking talkin' 'bout people
I hear them whisper you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I'll just ignore it but they keep sayin' (We)

Laugh just a little too loud (a little too loud)
Stand just a little too close (too close)
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't darling

Though he loved to rock and roll
All these many years
He cared about the old people's
And little children's ears

 

Though he was a guitar man
He reflected and he vowed
"Never will I ever be
No, never, never again
The man who was too loud"

 

Johnny's not a poor man
No, he never gets him down
Now that he is, free he is not proud
He don't need the power
Just to make a sound

 

He is not the man that he used to be
Oh, no, the man who was too loud

 

I will play softly
I will play softly
I will play softly now
'Cause I was the man who was too loud

The rich man poor man beggar man thief
Everyone claim that them are the chief
The rich man buy the poor man's life
The poor man take away the beggar man's wife

 

Don't cry my brothers

Don't cry my sisters

 

Tears won't change the situation
It's just a form, a form of reaction

Wasted Youth

I remember everything
I remember every little thing as if it only happened yesterday
I was barely seventeen, and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar
I don't remember if it was Telecaster or Stratocaster
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome, and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was Telecaster or Stratocaster
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

 

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

 

I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

 

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt
You say "what did you do it with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray

'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in a place, but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes

Well i married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life
Run me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, run me out in the cold rain and snow
Well she's coming down the stairs, combin' back her yellow hair
And i ain't goin be treated this ol' way

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall

 

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

Dark Waltz

We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the color runs together

I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Time dancers whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven

Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever

See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything's all right

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Maybe just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Well Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
Watch her watch the mornin' come
A silver tear appearing, now I'm cryin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no one;s mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
Yes and hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dyin'
Ain't I goin' to Carolina in my mind

I said: Hey, Sister Moonshine
Won't you send me a little sun
I said: Hey, Sister Moonshine
I'm a stranger to everyone

 

So make us all laugh, make us all cry
Make us all give, make us all try
Give us the secret show us the lie
We'll strike up the music and light up the sky
