More Songs In The Key of Life (uh huh)

[Buck Birdseed]

R.I.P. Rufus Thomas, the World's Oldest Teenager

WALKIN' THE DOG

Lady Mac dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
Hello, tipsy toe
She broke the needle she can't sew

Chorus:
Walking the dog
Just a-walking the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Asked my mama for fifteen cents
See the elephant, he jumped the fence
Jumped so high, he touched the sky
Never got back until the fourth of July

[chorus]

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Tell me, how your garden grows
You got silver bells and you got cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row

[repeat chorus]

[Bereta_Eder]

I don't care

RAMONES

I Don't Care

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About this world
I don't care
About that girl
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About these words
I don't care

Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)

RAMONES

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight (x 2)
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you

Where is Santa? At his sleigh?
Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas

All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby

I love you and you love me
And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's hearts

Where is Santa? At his sleigh?
Tell me why is it always this way?
Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby?
Merry Christmas, merry merry merry Christmas

All the children are tucked in their beds
Sugar-plum fairies dancing in their heads
Snowball fighting, it's so exciting baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you and you love me
And that's the way it's got to be
I loved you from the start
'Cause Christmas ain't the time for breaking each other's hearts

Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight (x 2)
Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with you

You Didn't Mean Anything To Me

RAMONES

Skies were cloudy everyday
Nothing wanted to grow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Nothing was on T.V.
I was ready to pack it up
Our heads were so achey

You didn't mean anything to me
You didn't mean anything to me
We got to get away
Another lawn to mow
We had our last chance
I think I told you so
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

You didn't mean anything to me (2x)

Everybody was cranky
Even the maids were mean
We ran into a miracle
There was beer in the soda machine
Every dinner was crummy
Even the ones for free
I was ready to pack it up
Forget the agony

You didn't mean anything to me (4x)

[Bereta_Eder]

High Risk Insurance

RAMONES

High risk insurance
The time is right

High risk insurance
The time is right

Got endurance, I was trained
I got my sights adjusted and my telescope aimed

Everybody wants an explanation
Got no love for the enemy nation

You gotta fight to stay independent
I got my pride and I'm gonna defend it.

[Bereta_Eder]

This Ain't Havana

RAMONES

I had no advantage over you
There was no troubles and I had 'em too
Just 'cause you're so strung out
Don't mean it can't work out

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas

Say you're a victim of society
You ask them for your mercy
Just like the cats in the garbage cans
When's their time coming, man

You better offer some resistance
You better give up on my insistence
Things happen overnight
You don't give up without a fight

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana
Do you like bananas, bananas

You say you're poor and uneducated
You ain't gotta chance 'cause you're hated
You're in your way to life's promotion
You hinder your emotion

Ba-ba-banana, this ain't Havana
Do you like bananas, ba-ba-bananas

Deanna

NICK CAVE

O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna!
O DEANNA
You know you are my friend, yeah
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love or money
I'm down here for your soul
No carpet on the floor
And the winding cloth holds many moths
Around your Ku Klux furniture
I *** of death-head in your frock
We discuss the murder plan
We discuss murder and the murder act
Murder takes the wheel of your Cadillac
And death climbs in the back
O DEANNA
This is a car
O DEANNA
This is a gun
O DEANNA
And this a day number one
O DEANNA
Our little crimeworn histories
Black and smoking christmas trees
And honey, it ain't mystery
Why you're a mystery to me
We will eat out of their pantries
And their parlours
Ashy leaving in their beds
And we'll unload into their heads
On this mean season
This little angel that I squeezin'
She ain't been mean to me
O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
You are my friend and my partner
O DEANNA
On this house on the hill
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love or money
I'm down here for your soul
O DEANNA
I am a-knocking
O DEANNA
With my toolbox and my stocking
O DEANNA
And I'll meet you on the corner
O DEANNA
Yes, you point it like a finger
O DEANNA
And squeeze its little thing
O DEANNA
Feel its kick, hear its bang
And let no worry about its issue
Don't worry about where its been
and don't worry about where it hits
Cause it just ain't yours to sin
O DEANNA
No it just ain't your to sin
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna
O DEANNA
And we ain't getting any younger
O DEANNA
And I don't intend gettin' any older
O DEANNA
The sun a hump at my shoulder
O DEANNA
O Deanna!
O DEANNA
Sweet Deanna
O DEANNA
And I ain't down here for your money
I ain't down here for your love
I ain't down here for your love of money
I'm down here for your soul

Slowly Goes The Night

NICK CAVE

Lover, lover, goodbye
So slowly goes the night
I trace the print of your body with my hand
Like the map of some forbidden land
I trace the ghosts of your bones
With my trembling hand
Dark is my night
But darker is my day yeah
I must've been blind
Out of my mind
Not to read the warning signs
How goes it?
It goes lonely
Goes slowly
So slowly goes the night
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights
I watch the moon get flayed anew
Until the moom becomes the skinning tool
I send the skins of my sins out to cover and comfort you
I know of a Heaven
And honey I know of a Hell yeah
I hang my head
In my bed
And remember what you said
"One evening, I'm leaving"
And I laughed and checked her breathing
And said darling
Go slowly through the knight
O baby, I feel the heal of time
I wake to find you sitting here
Cutting tangels out of your hair
Singing a song that's all wrong
Hey, but that's alright, I don't care
O darling forgive me
For all the misery yeah
I embrace an empty space
And your laughing song it fades
Where goes it?
It goes some place
Where it's lonely
And black as the night
Come back, darling and put things right
I hang my head and cry cry cry
Darling, all night I try
To cease on a reason for this mad mad season
The nights, they are so long now
I can't remember it being light
Call it sleep, call it death, call it what you like
But only sleep, dear
Only sleep brings you back to life yeah
I hang my head
I toss and I sweat
I never never can forget
How goes it?
I'm going, but slowly slowly going
And we both know that it's gonna be alright
But it ain't you who has to cry cry cry
Ten lonely days, ten lonely nights
Since you left my side side side

[Bereta_Eder]

The Moon Is In The Gutter

NICk CAVE

The moon is in the gutter
And the stars wash down the sink
I am the king of the blues
I scape the clay off my shoes
And wade down the gutter and the moon

The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,
Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
Then wash up my hands in the gutter and the moon.

Such a long way from home, just me and
The moon is in the gutter
All my plans are flushed down the drain
I wander lonely as a cloud
Over memories at her mound
Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon.

[Bereta_Eder]

No surprises

RADIOHEAD

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and happy
Bring down the government
They don't
They don't speak for us

I'll take a quiet life
A handshake
Some carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises

Silent
Silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Boogie Chillun
John Lee Hooker

Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about, the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillun!

One night I was layin' down,
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie,
it's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good,
went on boogie'n just the same

Well, I'm going out in west Texas, boys, just to run out on the range
Well, I'm going out in west Texas, boys, just to run out on the range
Yes, and that's so I can rope a streak of lightning, boys, head a shower of rain

Yes, you know I got a little woman, she lives up on the hill
She drinks her corn whiskey, man, it runs fast from the still
You know I got a little bitty woman, whoa, Lord, she lives up on the hill
Yes, you know she drinks her corn whiskey, boy, run right from the still

and hope that my dreams will come true,
And then while I'm away, I'll write home ev'ry day,
And I'll send all my loving to you

All my loving, darling I'll be true

SEALED WITH A KISS


tho we gotta say goodbye for the summer
darling i promise you this
i'll send you all my love every day in a letter
sealed with a kiss

i'll run to tenderly hold you
but darling you won't be there
i don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
knowing the love we'll miss
oh let us make a pledge to meet in september
and seal it with a kiss
guess it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
but i'll fill the emptiness
i'll send you all my love every day in a letter
sealed with a kiss
sealed with a kiss
sealed with a kiss

40,000 Headmen
(Winwood/Capaldi)

Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind
If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind
I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me
I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea

Hadn't traveled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot

Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine

Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said, 'Just look behind'

So I turned around and forty thousand headmen bit the dirt
Firing twenty shotguns each and man, it really hurt
But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload
And by the time they'd done that I was heading down the road

[SlowwHand]

How Many Friends
The Who

I'm feelin' so good right now
There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his past
He buys me a brandy
But could it be he's really just after my ass?

He likes the clothes I wear
He says he likes a man who's dressed in season
But no-one else ever stares, he's being so kind
What's the reason?

How many friends have I really got?
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?

Suddenly it's the silver screen
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Everybody hears me
But I look like a fool now
With a cry and I shy out
She knows all of my friends
But it's nice to find a woman who's keen on living
Now I think I've reached the end
I wonder in the dead of night - how do I rate?

How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?

It's all like a dream you know
When you're still up early in the morning
And you all sit together to watch the 1 come through
But things don't look so good
When you could use a bit of warning
Then you know that no-one will ever speak the truth about you

How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?

When I first signed a contract
It was more than a handshake then
I know it still is
But there's a plain fact
We talk so much **** behind each other's backs
I get the willies
People know nothing about their own soft gut
So how come they can sum us up
Without suffering all the hype we've known
How come they bum us up

How many friends have I really got?
You can count 'em on one hand
How many friends have I really got?
How many friends have I really got?
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
