(Parfitt, Williams)

once upon a time not so very long ago
there wasn't such a thing as a rock and roll show
you had to sit at home and listen to the radio
then came a man with a rocking guitar
he found himself a beat and he played it near and far
everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
he travelled around the world in a rock and roll band
he stood there like a child with a guitar in his hand
everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
nobody cared about the colour of his hair
everybody came to see and let the good times roll
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
now we got the rhythm now we got the rock
time didn't matter never living by the clock
everybody came to hear him play his rock and roll
then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
he couldn't find the rhyme 'cause he couldn't find the time
but still the people came to listen to the good times roll
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
again again again again again again again again
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?
i said why don't you do it? why don't you do it again?

(Ralphs)

walking down this rocky road
wondering where my life is leading
rolling on to the bitter end
finding out along the way
what it takes to keep love living
you should know how it feels my friend
i want you to stay i want you today
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
for your love
now i'm on my feet again
better things are bound to happen
all my dues surely must be paid
many miles and many tears
times were hard but now they're changing
you should know that i'm not afraid
i want you to stay i want you today
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for your love
i'm ready for your love
i want you to stay i want you today
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for love oh baby i'm ready for love
i'm ready for your love

I'm feeling so tired, I can't understand it
Just had a full night's sleep
I'm feeling so stuck, I'm so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week

I'm feeling drunk, just too stoned and sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just had a cold meat pie

Girl, when you call my name
I salivate like Pavlov's dog
Girl, when you lay me out
My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum

Now you got the mix
And, Audie, you got the sticks
And love is a bitch
Yeah, you got the mix
And, Audie, you got the sticks
Boy, and love is just a bitch
She's just a bitch, baby

And if I could sing you, if I could sing you
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
Or would you think this boy's insane, he's insane?

I'm talking about the women all around the world

Women behind bars
Women in fast cars
Women in distress
I like a lady with no dress
Women in aeroplanes
Women who play them games
Women in a uniform
See the woman with her clothes torn
Women who satisfy
Women you can't buy
Like the women in a magazine
And them ladies in the limousine
Women who sip champagne
Women who feel no pain
Women in a disco
Hanging around for the blow, blow, blow
Women wanting sympathy
Women taking ecstasy
Women that live in a fantasy
So why are they always living on their knees?
Women that fall in love
Women who need a shove
Women that can't be beat
Vheck out that lady in my back seat
Women in the USA
Them women steal your heart away
Women into rock and roll
Or the ladies in the back of the bus after the show
Women that we write songs about
Women that turn around and kick you out
Women you dream about all your life
Women that can't raise her feet in trouble and strife

Yeah, you got a mix
And, Audie, you got the sticks
Boy, but love is a bitch
Yeah, you got a mix
And, Audie, you got the sticks
Baby, but love is a bitch
She's a real cool bitch
She's a nasty bitch
Ain't love a bitch?

(Dylan)

early one morning the sun was shining i was laying in bed
wondering if she'd changed at all if her hair was still red
her folks they said our lives together sure was going to be rough
they never did like mama's homemade dress papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
and i was standing on the side of the road rain falling on my shoes
heading out for the east coast lord knows i've paid some dues getting through
tangled up in blue
she was married when we first met soon to be divorced
i helped her out of a jam i guess but i used a little too much force
we drove that car as far as we could abandoned it out west
split up on a dark sad night both agreeing it was best
she turned around to look at me as i was walking away
i heard her say over my shoulder "we'll meet again some day on the avenue"
tangled up in blue
i had a job in the great north woods working as a cook for a spell
i never did like it all that much and one day the axe just fell
so i drifted down to new orleans where i was lucky to be employed
working for a while on a fishing boat right outside of delacroix
but all the while i was alone the past was close behind
i seen a lot of women but she never escaped my mind and i just grew
tangled up in blue
she was working in a topless place and i stopped in for a beer
i just kept looking at the side of her face in the spotlight so clear
and later on the crowd thinned out i was just about to do the same
she was standing there in back of my chair saying "jackie don't i know your name?"
i muttered something underneath my breath she studied the lines on my face
i must admit i felt a little uneasy when she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
tangled up in blue
she lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"i thought you'd never say hello" she said "you look like the silent type"
then she opened up a book of poems and handed it to me
written by an italian poet from the thirteenth century
and every one of them words rang true and glowed like burning coals
pouring off of every page like it was written in my soul from me to you
tangled up in blue
i lived with them on montague street in a basement down the stairs
there was music in the cafés at night and revolution in the air
then he started into dealing with slaves and something inside of him died
she had to sell everything she owned and froze up inside
and one day finally the bottom fell out and i became withdrawn
the only thing i knew how to do was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
tangled up in blue
so now i'm going back again i got to get to her somehow
all the people we used to know they're an illusion to me now
some are mathematicians some are carpenter's wives
don't know how it all got started i don't know what they're doing with their lives
but me i'm still on the road heading for another joint
we always did feel the same we just saw it from a different point of view
tangled up in blue

Drive by my house late at night
You can see it from the freeway above
No silhouette but a light left on
Burning there for love
Burning there for love

Smoke is rising from the black
Coming out my back door
I'm inside sound asleep
A cigarette on the floor
Burning there for love
Burning there for love

I can still remember a couple of years ago
When the smoke and flame from our names
Was a burning house of love
A burning house of love
A burning house of love

Burning house of love
Burning house of love

I can still remember a couple of years ago
When the smoke and flame from our names
Was a burning house of love
A burning house of love
A burning house of love

The rusty nail over our front door
Is where I hung our tears in the rain
I threw that horseshoe into the weeds
I seen what love can bring
I seen what love can bring

Now you're in your bed and I'm in mine
On either side of town
I think I might take a little ride
And burn your love house down

Like a burning house of love
A burning house of love

I can still remember a couple of years ago
When the smoke and flame from our names
Was a burning house of love
A burning house of love
A burning house of love

Burning house of love
Burning house of love
Burning house of love
Burning house of love

She was just sixteen
She was so sweet and clean
She walked just like she knew where she'd been
She set my blood on fire
I said are you for hire?
That's when she turned on me and screamed

That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady

She had a southern smile
Had a New York style
I couldn't let her get away
She was the girl of my dreams
And because I was mean
I had to listen to her say

That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady

I had to have her bad
But she left me mad
That ain't the way it should be
I'm going to find that girl
Take her around the world
I'm going to love her till she screams

That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way
That ain't no way to treat a lady
A lady
That ain't no way to treat a lady
To treat a lady
To treat a lady
To treat a lady

(Young, Young, Scott)

diamonds and dust
poor man last rich man first
lamborghinis caviar
dry martinis shangri-la
i got a burning feeling deep inside of me
let your love run i'm going to set it free

where the lights are bright all through the town tonight

every single day i got a heartache coming my way
i don't want to say goodbye baby but look at the tears in my eye
i don't want to say goodbye mama but look at the way you made me cry
every way that's nice you show you've got a heart that's made of ice
and i know fire and water must have made you their daughter
you've got what it takes to make a poor man's heart break a poor man's heart break
lover you turn me on but as quick as a flash your love is gone
and baby i'm going to leave you now but i'm going to try to make you grieve somehow

and my heart is breaking can you feel it breaking? can you feel it?

Leaving the show
Still feel alive
Want a place to go now
Round about five

Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Come on down to the doctor
Make me feel good all night

Everybody needs a shot of R 'n B
So come on down to my surgery

Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Make you feel good all night

Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Down on the doctor
Make me feel good all night

Come on here baby
Won't do you no harm
I just want to shoot
Some rock 'n roll in your arm

Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Down to the doctor
Make you feel good all night

(Dewar, Trower)

lady love i heard a voice and it soothed me
lady love a simple tune and it moved me
move me and sooth me leading me home
too late for me now lady love
lady love a man's a fool to be leaving
dreams of love passing by like the seasons
maybe i'll wake up tell me i will
find you there waiting lady love
lady love i need some warm and tender
nights of love sweet and fine to remember
maybe tomorrow your fever will find me
waiting for me now lady love

Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl
I'm a humming and a strumming all over god's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels

You didn't know what rock and roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line

Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold
You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock and roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was giving what she got

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home, you're messing around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

You didn't know that rock and roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

I didn't know you had a rock and roll record
Until i saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now, it's dark and you're gone

My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy
So shy, so shy, so shy, so shy

Sweet little baby, you don't have to go
Little baby, tell me you won't go
We'd be so good together if we had the time
'Cause being alone is a nowhere state of mind

Loving ain't no crime, oh no
I see your man ain't here, he don't care
The way of the night has gone and we'll move on
Got to find a way to face another day

I search the world for someone I'll never find
Someone who ain't the hurting kind
If you stay the night, oh yeah
We'll make the wrong seem right

So come on now and
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
We'll burn in love tonight

Sweet little baby, oh don't you go
You ain't so innocent, I know
I know your heart's like mine, oh yeah
And I will find the time to make you mine
And if your love goes bad, if it makes you sad
But I'll be back for more at your door

Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Before the morning light, we'll burn with love tonight
Burn with love tonight

And when your man don't care, I will be there
Still be loving real good love, so baby now
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, come on, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
There's no wrong or right we'll burn with love
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, come on, rock me, roll me through the night
Rock me, rock me, roll me through the night
There's nothing left to do but make sweet love to you
Come on and rock me

I wake in the night
To find you on my mind
Deep in a dream you'll always be
Till the end of time

I look in your eyes they touch my soul
My love is hard to hide
I'm never alone when we're apart
I feel you by my side

And here in my heart
Where no one else will ever be
I know who you are
So lock the door and throw away the key

Save all your love
Save your love for me
When I'm alone at night
You're all I see

I wake from a dream
And see you by my side
How could I belong to someone else
When holding you feels so right?

And here in my heart
Where no one else will ever be
We've made it so far
So lock the door and throw away the key

Save all your love
Save your love for me
When I'm alone at night
You're all I see

Save all your love
Save your love for me
Don't turn your back on me
You're all I see

I know who you are
We've come so far
So baby stay with me

Save all your love
Save your love for me
Don't turn your back on me
You're all I need

Save your love
Save your love
Save all your love
Save all your love
Save your love
Baby save all your love
Save all your love

two feet they come a creeping like a black cat do
and two bodies are laying naked the creeper thinks he's got nothing to lose
so he creeps into this house and unlocks the door
and as a man's reaching for his trousers he shoots him full of thirty eight holes

should i fall out of love my fire in the light
to chase a feather in the wind?
within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
there moves a thread that has no end
for many hours and days that pass ever soon
the tides have caused the flame to dim
at last the arm has strayed the hand to the loom
is this to end or just beginning?
all of my love all of my love all of my love to you now
all of my love all of my love all of my love to you now
the cup is raised the toast is made yet again
one voice is clear above the din
proud aryan one word my will to sustain
for me the cloth once more to spin
all of my love all of my love all of my love for you now
all of my love all of my love yes all of my love to you child
yours is the cloth mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
ours is the fire all the warmth we can find
he is a feather in the wind
all of my love all of my love all of my love to you now
all of my love yes all of my love to you now
all of my love all of my love all of my love love
sometimes sometimes all right

if it keeps on raining levee's going to break
if it keeps on raining levee's going to break
when the levee breaks i'll have no place to stay
mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
it's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
don't it make you feel bad
when you're trying to find your way home
you don't know which way to go?
if you're going down south
they got no work to do
if you going on to chicago
crying won't help you praying won't do you no good
crying won't help you praying won't do you no good
when the levee breaks mama you got to move
all last night i sat on the levee and moaned
all last night i sat on the levee and moaned
thinking about my baby and my happy home
going going to chicago
going to chicago
sorry but i can't take you
going down going down now
going down going down now
going down going down
going down going down
going down going down now
going down going down now
going down going down now
going down going down down down down down

i've been to london seen seven wonders i know to trip is just to fall
i used to rock it sometimes i'd roll it i always knew what it was for
there can be no denying that the wind will shake them down
and the flat world's flying there's a new flag on the land
if we could just join hands
if we could just join hands
if we could just join hands
traversed the planet when heaven sent me i saw the kings who rule them all
still by the firelight and purple moonlight i hear the wrested rivers call
and the wind is crying from a love that won't grow cold
my lover she is lying on the dark side of the globe
if we could just join hands
if we could just join hands
if we could just join hands
you got me rocking when i ought to be rolling
darling tell me darling which way to go
you keep me rocking baby then you keep me stolen
won't you tell me darling which way to go
that's right
oh how i wonder oh how i worry and i would dearly like to know
of all this wonder of earthly plunder will leave us anything to show
and our time is flying see the candle burning low
is the new world rising from the shambles of the old?
if we could just join hands
if we could just join hands
if we could just if we could just if we could just if we could just if we could just join hands
that's all it takes that's all it takes
that's all it takes that's all it takes
that's right that's right that's right that's right

there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven
when she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
with a word she can get what she came for
and she's buying a stairway to heaven
there's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
in a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
it makes me wonder
it makes me wonder
there's a feeling i get when i look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving
in my thoughts i have seen rings of smoke through the trees
and the voices of those who stand looking
it makes me wonder
it really makes me wonder
and it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
then the piper will lead us to reason
and a new day will dawn for those who stand long
and the forests will echo with laughter
if there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now
it's just a spring clean for the may queen
yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run
there's still time to change the road you're on
and it makes me wonder
your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know
the piper's calling you to join him
dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know
your stairway lies on the whispering wind
and as we wind on down the road
our shadows taller than our soul
there walks a lady we all know
who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
when all are one and one is all
to be a rock and not to roll
and she's buying a stairway to heaven
