Leave It Alone

Of all the things that you said
There's only one thing, there's one thing
That stays in my head
So leave it alone
Of all the things that you done
There's only one thing, there's one thing
That keeps me undone
So leave it alone
One time --
It was the first time
It the was worst time of my life
It was a year or two before you would become my wife
And it feels like again, oh my my
And it feels like again
And it feels like again, oh my my
And it feels like again
Of all the places that you've been
There's only one place, there's one place
Reminds you of him
So leave it alone
And all the things that you thought
There's only one thing, there's one thing
You wish you still got
So leave it alone
Two times
It was the best time, it was the best time
That I've known
It was the springtime, all of the snow
Had almost gone
I was thinkin' about it
Oh my Lord, it seems so long
I was thinkin' about it
So I wrote it in this song
And it feels like again, oh my my
And it feels like again
And it feels like again, oh my my
And it feels like again
And it feels like again
And it feels like again
And I fell on the floor

Kiss Your Mom
03:00

And the people want to get back
To the life they thought they had had
But the run-around is really bad
The running around is really bad
There’s too many of us to count
And there’s nothing left to be found
You’ve got to hang onto what you’ve got
But you never know what you’ve got
And when you find out you can’t keep your time
Go back and sit down, rest your old mind
And the people want to give up
When they haven’t got enough love
There’s a dark sun up above
All you gotta do is kiss your mom

Blind

Lookin' through the window at the light would blind my eyes
Thinkin' 'bout your letter and it's then I realize
If nothin' is for nothin' then there's nothin' I can do
Somewhere somehow down the line they made a fool of you
Oh, oh ma ma
Oh, oh ma ma
Oh, oh ma ma
Another week has come and gone, let's thank the gods that be
Somewhere somehow down the line they made a fool of me
Gather in a circle, boys, it's time for us to find
Another way of makin' eyes go temporary blind
Oh, oh ma ma
Oh, oh ma ma
Oh, oh ma ma
Blind

Upon the Hill

I had a girl, she went away
I don't know why, she wouldn't say
It broke me up, I couldn't cope
She took my heart, she took my hope
Upon the hill, I took some pills
I thought that I would surely die
And in my room, it's like a tomb
Upon the floor I took four more
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I was a fool, she was a whore
She had it all but wanted more
And in my room, my neighbor sits
He gives me love, he gives me hits
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Lose a friend (x4)
Lose the pain (x4)
Lose again (x4)
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
(I love you)

For so many years I passed you by
Just the thought of you could make me cry
Spent my days and nights just getting high
After all this time I wonder why
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Think of all the songs I had to write
All the dreary days and the wasted nights
All the times I tried just to watch it die
These are all the things you did right
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na
And when your love lies down it's the hardest thing you know
You're trapped inside a circle of doubt and hope
The morning seems so sweet but it's the night that gets so cold
And I'm wonderin' where I'm goin'
And if the things I brought are shown

So High
04:07

Why am I so high?
My life
I can’t stay here anymore
Seems like everyone is overboard
And your scattered yellow trees
Ask for something to make me pleased
And when I fly, I want more
Why am I so high?
My life
Sordid shadows on the floor
Can my spirit make it out the door
And so I cracked up on the phone
Let’s see if anyone is really home
And when I die, I want more
Something in my head won’t do, I need a higher power
Stealing in your fortune’s light makes breathing night time
Why am I so high?
My life
Monkeys shackled in the lane
A heavy pounding goes in my brain
Now my night has gone on home
And your spirit won’t leave me alone
And when I die, I want more

Waterloo

I was twenty-one, my mind was movin' fast
When they held me down and broke my back
As I looked up to them, saw them grinning down
I saw how long before I rest at last
No no
No no
No no
No no
Now it's 3 AM, I'm on the kitchen floor
And I'm tryin' not to move no more
Then I woke the next day in the afternoon
And I wondered what I did that for
No no
No no
No no
No no
No no
No no
No no
No no

For You
06:28
|

|
Kind of like the way the eastern sky mounted blue
Kind of like the smile we wear outside blew in two
Did you like the way he opened up? Spoken true
Looked around and found there’s something wrong and gave it to you
It’s the same
Just a game
It’s a shame
I would tear my power (I could walk away)
Like a funeral dead flower (I would leave today)
I could see it all with my eyes (I’d be on my own)
But I’d slip away (I’d be all alone)
Is it reaching in to take away what he grew?
Think about it when it makes you say it’s for you
All this sitting down has hurt my heart. Pray for you
Screaming little hearts that hypnotize come for you
It’s the same
Just a game anyway
It’s a shame
If it dies it doesn’t matter (I could walk away)
Hope the fire doesn’t scatter (I would leave today)
Lightning sings the blood to flow (I’d be on my own)
Then I’d slip away (I’d be all alone)

Come to me, to the kingdom of the sea
Live with me, with my love here in the deep
But I never live like a king
It’s so deep, it’s a world here underneath
It was to be, we’ll go there just to see
But I never live like a fool
Ride Ferry, to my home here in the sea
We’ll be free, it’s so warm here underneath
But I never live like a thief
