All Along the Watchtower
|
|
There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the theif There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None will level on the wine Nobody of it is worth No reason to get exited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us talk falsely now The hour's getting late All along the watchtower The princess kept the view While all the women came And went bare feet servants too Outside in the cold distance A wild cat did growl Two riders were aproaching And the wind began to howl |

Purple Haze
|
|
Purple Haze was in my brain, lately things don't seem the same, actin' funny but I don't know why 'scuse me while I kiss the sky. Purple Haze all around, don't know if I'm coming up or down. Am I happy or in misery? Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me. Purple Haze was in my eyes, don't know if it's day or night, you've got me blowing, blowing my mind is it tomorrow or just the end of time? |

The Wind Cries Mary
|
|
After all the jacks are in their boxes, and the clowns have all gone to bed, you can hear happiness staggering on down the street, footprints dress in red. And the wind whispers Mary. A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterday's life. Somewhere a Queen is weeping, somewhere a King has no wife. And the wind it cries Mary. The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed, The tiny island sags downstream 'Cos the life that they lived is dead. And the wind screams Mary. Will the wind ever remember The names it has blown in the past, And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom It whispers, "No, this will be the last." And the wind cries Mary. |

Angel
|
|
Angel came down from heaven yesterday She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday, About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea And then she spread her wings high over me She said she's gonna come back tomorrow And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, Fly on through the sky, Fly on my sweet angel, Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side" Sure enough this morning came unto me Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise And my angel she said unto me, "Today is the day for you to rise Take my hand, you're gonna be my man, You're gonna rise" And then she took high over yonder And I said, "Fly on my sweet angel, Fly on through the sky, Fly on my sweet angel, Forever I will be by your side" |

Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)
|
|
Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I stand up next to a mountain Chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island Might even raise just a little sand 'Cause I'm a voodoo child Lord knows I'm a voodoo child I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time I'll give it right back to you one of these days I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time I'll give it right back to you one of these days And if I don't meet you no more in this world Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one And don't be late, don't be late 'Cause I'm a voodoo child Lord knows I'm a voodoo child I'm a voodoo child |

Burning of the Midnight Lamp
|
|
The morning is dead And the day is, too There's nothing left here to meet me But the velvet moon All my loneliness I have felt today It's like a little more than enough To make a man throw himself away And I continue To burn the midnight lamp Alone Now the smiling portrait of you Is still hangin' on my frowning wall It really doesn't, really doesn't bother me too much at all It's just the ever falling dust That makes it so hard for me to see That forgotten earring layin' on the floor Facing coldly towards the door I continue To burn the midnight lamp Lord, alone Loneliness is such a drag So here I sit to face That same old fire place Gettin' ready for the same old explosion Goin' through my mind And soon enough time will tell, About the circus in the wishing well And someone who will buy and sell for me Someone to toll my bell But I continue To burn the midnight lamp Lord, alone Darlin' can't ya hear me callin' you? So lonely Gonna have to blow my mind Lonely |

Crosstown Traffic
|
|
You jump in front of my car when you, you know all the time Ninty miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive You tell me it's alright, you don't mind a little pain You say you just want me to take you for a drive You're just like crosstown traffic So hard to get through to you Crosstown traffic I don't need to run over you Crosstown traffic All you do is slow me down And I'm tryin' to get on the other side of town I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run Tire tracks all across your back I can, I can see you had your fun But, darlin' can't you see my signals turn from green to red And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead You're just like crosstown traffic So hard to get through to you Crosstown traffic I don't need to run over you Crosstown traffic All you do is slow me down And I got better things on the other side of town |

Castles Made of Sand
|
|
Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace" As she slams the door in his drunken face, And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool. He cries "Oh girl, you must be mad, What happened to the sweet love you and me had?" Against the door he leans and starts a scene, And his tears fall and burn the garden green. And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually. A little Indian brave who before he was ten, played war games in the woods with his Indian friends, and he built a dream that when he grew up, he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief. Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow He would sing his first war song, And fight his first battle, but something went wrong, Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea eventually. There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown, Because she was crippled for life, and couldn't speak a sound And she wished and prayed she would stop living, so she decided to die. She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled "You won't hurt me no more." But then a sight she'd never seen made her JUMP AND SAY "Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way" And it really didn't have to stop... it just kept on going. And so castles made of sand slips into the sea eventually |

Red House
|
|
There's a Red House over yonder That's where my baby stays There's a Red House over yonder, baby That's where my baby stays Well, I ain't been home to see my baby, in ninety nine and one half days. 'Bout time I see her, Wait a minute something's wrong here The key won't unlock the door. Wait a minute something's wrong baby, Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door, something's goin' on here. I have a bad bad feeling that my baby don't live here no more. That's all right, I still got my guitar Look out now . . . I might as well go on back down go back 'cross yonder over the hill I might as well go back over yonder way back over yonder 'cross the hill, (That's where I came from.) 'Cause if my baby don't love me no more, I know her sister will! |

Manic Depression
|
|
Manic Depression's touching my soul, I know what I want, but I just don't know how to go about getting it. Feeling, sweet feeling drops from my finger, fingers Manic Depression's captured my soul. Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain, you make love, you break love, it's-a all the same when it's... when it's over. Music sweet music, I wish I could caress, caress, caress. Manic Depression's a frustrating mess. Well, I think I'll go turn myself off an' go on down. Really ain't no use me hanging around. Oh, I gotta see you. |

Well I realize that I've been hypnotized, I love your gypsy eyes I love your gypsy eyes Alright! Hey! Gypsy. Way up in my tree I'm sitting by my fire Wond'rin' where in this world might you be And knowin' all the time you're still roamin' in the country side Do you still think about me? Oh my gypsy. Well I walked right on to your rebel roadside The one that rambles on for a million miles Yes I walk down this road searchin' for your love and ah my soul too But when I find ya I ain't gonna let go. I remember the first time I saw you The tears in your eyes look like they're tryin' to say Oh little boy you know I could love you But first I must make my get away Two strange men fightin' to the death over me today I'll try to meet cha by the old highway. Hey! Well I realize that I've been hypnotized, I love your gypsy eyes I love your gypsy eyes I love your gypsy eyes I love your gypsy eyes Alright! I've been searchin' so long my feet have made me lose the battle Down against the road my weary knees they got me Off to the side I fall but I hear a sweet call My gypsy eyes is comin' and I've been saved. Oh I've been saved That's why I love you uh Said I love you Hey! Love you uh Lord I love you Hey! |

Well she's walking through the clouds With a circus mind that's running round Butterflies and zebras And moonbeams and fairy tales That's all she ever thinks about Riding with the wind. When I'm sad, she comes to me With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free It's alright she says it's alright Take anything you want from me, anything Anything. Fly on little wing, Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing |

Wait Until Tomorrow
|
|
Well, I'm standing here freezing, inside your golden garden, Got my ladder leaned up against your wall. Tonight's the night we planned to run away together, Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall. But now you're telling me that ah... I think we better wait till tomorrow Got to make sure it's right, So, until tomorrow, goodnight. Oh, Dolly Mae, How can you hang me up this way, On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today Now I'm standing here like some turned-down serenading fool, Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you. And you keep telling me that ah... I think we better wait till tomorrow Got to make sure it's right So, until tomorrow, goodnight. See if I can talk to this girl alone Oh, Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane, So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree? CLICK, BANG, Oh, what a hang, Your daddy just shot poor me And I hear you say, as I fade away We don't have to wait till tomorrow It must not have been right, so forever, goodnight. Do I have to wait, do I have to wait It's a drag on my part Don't have to wait, don't have to wait. |
