    A Song For You
    Leon Russell



    I've been so many places in my life and time
    I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
    I've acted out my love in stages
    With ten thousand people watching
    But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

    I know your image of me is what I hope to be
    I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
    There's no one more important to me
    Darlin' can't you please see through me
    Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

    You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
    You came out in front and I was hiding
    But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
    Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

    I love you in a place where there's no space or time
    I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
    And when my life is over
    Remember when we were together
    We were alone and I was singing this song for you

    You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
    You came out in front and I was hiding
    But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
    Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

    I love you in a place where there's no space or time
    I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
    And when my life is over
    Remember when we were together
    We were alone and I was singing this song for you
    We were alone and I was singing this song for you


    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

    I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
    I sleep all night and I work all day.
    (He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
    he sleeps all night and he works all day)

    I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I go to the lavatory,
    On Wednesdays I go shopping, and have buttered scones for tea.
    (He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch, he goes to the lavatory,
    On Wednesdays he goes shopping, and has buttered scones for tea)

    I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
    I sleep all night and I work all day.

    I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers,
    I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.
    (He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps, he likes to press wild flowers
    He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars??)

    I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,
    I sleep all night and I work all day.

    I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra.
    I wish I'd been a girly, just like my dear Papa.
    (He cuts down trees, he wears high heels, suspenders? and a bra???)
    (girlfriend: I thought you were so rugged! oh, you!!)

    (walks out)

    He's a lumberjack and he's okay,
    he sleeps all night and he works all day.
    He's a lumberjack and he's okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.....
    he sleeps all night and he works all day

      I live in tiger land
      I'm an indian man
      I used to walk around
      with a snake in my hand
      Dr. Bombay is my name
      and my father had the same
      but everything has changed
      here in tiger land

      Chorus:
      S.O.S the tiger took my father
      S.O.S the tiger took my brother
      S.O.S the tiger took my mother
      S.O.S the tiger took my family

      We live in town Calcutta
      in a little wooden house
      I lived there with my family
      and twenty-one cows
      but now they're all gone
      and life not so fun
      but what can you expect
      here in tiger land

      Chorus

      One day in the big jungle
      a tiger took my snake
      it wasn't really funny
      what a big mistake
      I took my brothers slingshoot
      and shoot the tiger down
      this is how we do it
      here in tiger land

      Chorus
      Chorus
      Chorus
      In da butt.

        The KKK Took My Baby Away

        She went away for the holidays
        Said she's going to L.A.
        but she never got there
        She never got there
        She never got there, they say

        (repeat)

        The KKK took my baby away
        they took her away
        away from me
        The KKK took my baby
        they took her away
        away from me

        now I don't know
        Where my baby can be
        they took her from me
        they took her from me
        I don't know
        where my baby can be
        they took her from me
        they took her from me

        ring me, ring me, ring me
        Up the President
        and find out
        Where my baby went
        ring me, ring me, ring me
        Up the FBI
        and find out if
        my baby's alive
        yeah, yeah, yeah

        o-o-o-o-o-o
        o-o-o-o-o-o

        She went away for the holidays

        (repeat)

        The KKK took my baby away

        (repeat)

        They took my girl
        They took my baby away
        I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

            The Horrorist
            Flesh is the Fever


            Let me take you into the future...
            Deep into a different time.
            Let me grip onto your face...
            and bring you to this new place.

            Super-social amphetamine.
            The queer tune of control.
            The panic disorder gripping...
            the entire race has a whole.

            Flesh is the fever of force...
            and it’s the sound without remorse.
            Rampant is the army of disease...
            that brings you to your knees!

            You can’t believe everything you hear.
            You can’t believe everything you see.
            The conspiracies are ever growing...
            and all you can believe in is me!

            These are the things, are the things to come.
            These are the things, are the things to come.
            These are the things, are the things to come.
            These are the things, are the things to come.

              Before You Accuse Me
              Eric Clapton



              Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
              Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
              You say I've been spending my money on other women
              You've been taking money from someone else

              I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
              I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago
              Well your mother said Son
              Don't call my daughter no more

              Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
              Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
              You say I've been spending my money on other women
              You've been taking money from someone else



              Come back home baby, try my love one more time
              Come back home baby, try my love one more time
              If I don't go on and quit you
              I'm gonna lose my mind


              Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
              Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself
              You say I've been spending my money on other women
              You've been taking money from someone else

                One day when i got hungry
                I sold the wooden house
                I had to visit Uncle Ghandi
                who lives in Calcutta town

                Uncle Ghandi he is rich
                he is a taxi driver man
                and I know that he will help me
                as much as he can

                A taxi driver man is what
                Iwant to be
                but there are no customers
                who want to ride with me
                I dont know why
                could be that I am almost blind
                but every street in Calcutta I can find

                Chorus:
                Calcutta,
                I am an taxi driver in
                Calcutta,
                I drive my little taxi in
                Calcutta,
                taxi, taxi, taxi, in
                Calcutta
                I am an taxi driver man

                I like to drive the taxi
                I like it very much
                even though I have no licence
                I always find the clutch
                I can drive it off my head
                I can drive it off my feet
                and I have no problems
                getting taxi on the street

                Chorus

                Solo:
                Calle Calle cutta cutta cutta
                EH OH

                Chorus
                In da butt.

                        I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me
                        and every step I take reminds me of just how we used to be

                        Well, how can I forget you, girl?

                        When there is allways something there to remind me.
                        always something there to remind me.

                        As shadows fall, I pass a small cafe where we would dance at night
                        And I can't help recalling how it how it felt to kiss and hold you tight

                        Well, how can I forget you, girl?

                        When there is allways something there to remind me
                        always something there to remind me
                        I was born to love her, and I'll never be free
                        You'll always be a part of me

                        If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
                        Just go back to the places where we used to go, and I'll be there

                        Well, how can I forget you, girl?

                        When there is allways something there to remind me
                        always something there to remind me
                        I was born to love her, and I'll never be free
                        You'll always be a part of me

                        'cause there is always something there to remind me
                        always something there to remind me
                        always something there to remind me

                          Firewater - Car Crash Collaborator

                          You never would believe
                          the things that I have seen in my professional career
                          Where people can be cruel
                          But honestly, I never meant to hurt you

                          I'm just a car crash collaborator
                          I'm just a cold cash negotiator

                          As you crawl from the debris
                          Remember that it's just the way I feed my family
                          I'm sorry about the scars
                          (At least you can still count yourself among the living)

                          Keep one eye on the road and the other on your wheel
                          Because when you least except it you got the most to fear

                          From the car crash collaborator
                          I'm just a cold cash negotiator
                          Baby I'm a car crash collaborator
                          I'm just a cold cash negotiator

                            NOFX - The Decline (arguably the greatest song, ever)

                            Where are all the stupid people from?
                            And how'd they get to be so dumb?
                            Bred on purple mountain range
                            Feed amber waves of grains
                            To lesser human beings, zero feelings

                            Blame it on
                            Human nature, mans destiny (mans destiny)
                            Blame it on the greediocracy (greediocracy)
                            Fear of God
                            The fear of change
                            The fear of truth

                            Add the Bill of Rights, subtract the wrongs
                            There's no answers
                            Memorize and sing star spangled songs
                            When the questions
                            Aren't ever asked
                            Is anybody learning from the past?
                            We're living in united stagnation

                            Father what have I done?
                            I took that .22
                            A gift to me from you
                            To bed with me each night
                            Kept it clean
                            Polished it well
                            Cherished every cartridge, every shell

                            Down, by the creek, under brush, under dirt
                            There's a carcass of my second kill
                            Down, by the park, under stone, under pine
                            There's a carcass of my brother William
                            Brother where, have you gone to?
                            I swear, I never thought I could
                            I see so many times
                            They told me to shoot straight
                            Don't pull the trigger, squeeze
                            That will insure a kill
                            A kill is what you want
                            A kill is why we breed

                            The Christians love their guns
                            The church and NRA
                            Pray for their salvations
                            Prey on the lower faiths

                            The story book's been read
                            And every line believed
                            Curriculum's been set
                            Logic is a threat
                            Reason searched and seized

                            Jerry spent some time in Michigan
                            A twenty year vacation, after all he had a dime
                            A dime is worth a lot more in Detroit
                            A dime in California, a twenty dollar fine

                            Jerry only stayed a couple months
                            It's hard to enjoy yourself while bleeding out the ass
                            Asphyxiation is simple and fast
                            It beats seventeen fun years of being someones *****

                            Don't think (Stay)
                            Drink your wine (Home)
                            Watch the fire burn (Be)
                            His problems not mine (Safe)
                            Just be that model citizen

                            I wish I had a schilling
                            (For each senseless killing)
                            For every senseless killing
                            I'd buy a government
                            America's for sale
                            And you can get a good deal on it
                            (A good deal on it)
                            And make a healthy profit
                            Or maybe, tear it apart
                            Start with assumption
                            That a million people are smart
                            Smarter than one

                            Serotonin's gone
                            She gave up, drifted away
                            Sara fled, thought process gone
                            She left her answering machine on
                            The greeting left spoken sincere
                            Messages no one will ever hear

                            Ten thousand messages a day
                            A million more transmissions lay
                            Victims of the laissez faire
                            Ten thousand voices, a hundred guns
                            A hundred decibels turns to one
                            One bullet, one empty head
                            Now with Serotonin gone

                            The man who used to speak
                            Performs a cute routine
                            Feel a little patronized
                            Don't feel bad
                            They found a way inside your head
                            And you feel a bit misled
                            It's not that they don't care, yeah

                            The television's put a thought inside your head
                            Llike a Barry Manilow, jingle
                            I'd like, to teach the world to sing
                            In perfect harmony
                            A symphonic blank stare, yeah
                            It doesn't make you care (make you care)
                            Not designed to make you care (make you care)
                            They're betting you won't care (you won't...)

                            Place a wager on your greed
                            A wager on your pride
                            Why try to beat them when, a million others tried?

                            We are the whore
                            Intellectually spayed
                            We are the queer
                            Dysfunctionally raised

                            One more pill to kill the pain
                            One more pill to kill the pain
                            One more pill to kill the pain
                            Living through conformity

                            One more prayer to keep me safe
                            One more prayer to keep us warm
                            One more prayer to keep us safe
                            There's gonna be a better place

                            Lost the battle, lost the war
                            Lost the things worth living for
                            Lost the will to win the fight
                            One more pill to kill the pain

                            Na na na na na
                            La na na na na
                            Na na na na na
                            Na na na na na

                            The going get tough, the tough get debt
                            Don't pay attention, pay the rent
                            Next of kins pay for your sins
                            A little faith should keep us safe

                            Save us
                            The human, existence
                            Is failing, resistance
                            Essential, the future
                            Written off, the odds are
                            Astronomically against us
                            Only moron and genius
                            Would fight a losing battle
                            Against the super ego
                            When giving in is so damn comforting

                            And so we go, on with our lives
                            We know the truth, but prefer lies
                            Lies are simple, simple is bliss
                            Why go against tradition when we can
                            Admit defeat, live in decline
                            Be the victim of our own design
                            The status quo, built on suspect
                            Why would anyone stick out their neck?

                              I don't know if it's the greatest, but it probably is the longest...
                              I watched you fall. I think I pushed.
