  • Two For Tuesday; Leon Russell

    Deep In The Heart Of Dixie

    Well, I wanna go down to the river
    I wanna get me a rockin’ chair
    If the blues don’t get me, come on and go with me
    We’ll rock on away from here

    Go down to Memphis
    Where the music is in the air
    And I will hold you tight, everything’s alright
    We’ll be deep in the heart of Dixie tonight

    Well, I wanna get out of the city
    I wanna leave all the blues behind
    You know I can’t take it, so come on and shake it
    Let’s move it on down the line

    Oh, can I get a witness
    I got a Beale Street on my mind
    And I will hold you tight, everything’s alright
    We’ll be deep in the heart of Dixie tonight

    Well I wanna walk inside the Georgia pines and sweet Magnolia trees
    And baby we’ll be doing fine, when you’re right down there with me

    I wanna go down to the bayou, wanna listen to the bluebirds sing
    We’ll stay there forever, when we get together
    I’ll give you a diamond ring
    And before it’s all over, I might give you a baby too

    And I will hold you tight, everything is alright
    We’ll be deep in the heart of Dixie tonight

    Lady Blue

    Well you're showin' me a diff'rent side
    Even asked if the flame has died
    You're getting used to me baby
    But you just a-wait and see lady
    'Cause I've been in love before
    And I love you a whole lot more
    So if you want it to be real good to you
    When I'm layin' here makin' love to you
    Listen real close to me lady
    I want to get it straight right now, oh baby
    'Cause I love you more and more and more lady blue
    Sad baby, blue lady, sing me a love song
    I just want you to know
    That I love you more and more and more and more.
    So if you want it to be real good to you
    When I'm layin' here makin' love to you
    Listen real close to me baby
    You just a-wait and see lady
    I got a whole lot of love to give you
    I got a whole life to spend if you'll just let me
    Sing sweet love songs lady blue
    Oh, sing a love song lady blue.

    • Hold On
      Triumph

      Music holds the secret
      To know it can make you whole
      It's not just a game of notes
      It's the sound inside your soul
      Magic of the melody
      Runs through you like a stream
      The notes the play flow through your head
      Like a dream
      Like a dream
      Like a dream

      I sing this song for the common man
      For the people in despair
      Bring my song into the world
      And I sing it everywhere
      The simple truth lies waiting here
      For everyone to share
      So hold on, and I will take you there
      Hold on and I will take you there

      The daily routine takes your soul
      Lost without a trace
      It hold you down and turns you round
      And puts you in your place
      Another day, another dollar
      Another pretty face
      Another chance to lose yourself
      In the endless race

      Hold on, hold on to your dreams
      Hold on, even though it seems
      Everyone around you has their little schemes
      Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams

      Can't you feel the magic
      Feel it everywhere
      Can't you hear the music
      There's something in the air
      There's a celebration
      Deep within a song
      Celebrate this feeling,
      You know it can't be wrong

      Hold on, hold on to your dreams
      Hold on, even though it seems
      Everyone around you has their little schemes
      Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams

      Caught up in routine,
      You got to break it
      Time won't wait for us,
      We got to make it
      Fate gives you the chance
      You've got to take it
      Take it

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

      • Fifty FIfty Clown by Cocteau Twins

        I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh
        Oh, and you're a lone shadow
        I feel rewarded on being so ugly, eh

        Smile and face your wife angry
        His life don't despise what's in eyes
        He skips so as the seasons
        To come as a breeze has
        Again, ahead

        We'll rust, our nose dust
        A fine gard with pleased and, oh its true
        Hill can't comfort the brain
        He must come as he was
        Again, ahead

        And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
        Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
        Good morning myth to somebody I call in light
        Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are
        And this is safe, flowing, love, soul and light
        Motions aren't in the shape that emotions are

          NICK CAVE

          Looka yonder! Looka yonder!
          Looka yonder! A big black cloud come!
          A big black cloud come!
          O comes to Tupelo. Comes to Tupelo

          Yonder on the horizon
          Yonder on the horizon
          Stopped at the mighty river
          Stopped at the mighty river and
          Sucked the damn thing dry
          Tupelo-o-o, O Tupelo
          In a valley hides a town called Tupelo

          Distant thunder rumble. Distant thunder rumble
          Rumble hungry like the Beast
          The Beast it cometh, cometh down
          The Beast it cometh, cometh down
          Wo wo wo-o-o
          Tupelo bound. Tupelo-o-o. Yeah Tupelo
          The Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound

          Why the hen won't lay no egg
          Can't get that **** (oh ffs!) to crow
          The nag is spooked and crazy
          O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
          O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!

          Ya can say these streets are rivers
          Ya can call these rivers streets
          Ya can tell ya self ya dreaming buddy
          But no sleep runs this deep
          No! No sleep runs this deep
          No sleep runs this deep
          Women at their windows
          Rain crashing on the pane
          Writing in the frost
          Tupelos' shame. Tupelo's shame
          O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!

          O go to sleep lil children
          The sandmans on his way
          O go to sleep lil children
          The sandmans in his way
          But the lil children know
          They listen to the beating of their blood
          listen to the beating of their blood
          listen to the beating of their blood
          listen to the beating of their blood
          They listen to the beating of their blood
          The sandman's mud!
          The sandman's mud!
          And the black rain come down
          the black rain come down
          the black rain come down
          Water water everywhere
          Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
          Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
          No fish can swim
          Until The King is born!
          Until The King is born!
          In Tupelo! Tupelo-o-o!
          Til The King is born in Tupelo!

          In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
          Where the rain came down and leaked within
          A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
          With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
          Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
          With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw

          Well Saturday gives what Sunday steals
          And a child is born on his brothers heels
          Come Sunday morn the first-born dead
          In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
          Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo!
          In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red

          O ma-ma rock you lil' one slow
          O ma-ma rock your baby
          O ma-ma rock your lil' one slow
          O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
          Mama rock your lil' one slow
          The lil one will walk on Tupelo
          The lil one will walk on Tupelo
          Black rain come down, Black rain come down
          Tupelo-o-o! Yeah Tupelo!
          And carry the burden of Tupelo
          Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo! Yeah!
          The King will walk on Tupelo!
          Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
          He carried the burden outa Tupelo!
          Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo!
          You will reap just what you sow

          • Bright yellow gun

            THROWING MUSES


            With your bright yellow gun, You own the sun
            And I think I need a little poison
            To keep me tame Keep me awake
            I have nothing to offer but confusion
            And the circus in my head, And the middle of the bed
            In the middle of the night

            With your bright silver frown, You own the town
            And I think I need a little poison
            I have no secrets I have no lies
            I have nothing to offer but the middle of the night
            And I think you need a little poison

            You leak one apple a week to survive
            And you still have to ask if you're alive
            You have nothing to offer but police my dreams
            Keep me clean Keep me awake

            With your bright yellow gun, You own the sun
            And I think I need a little poison
            With your bright silver grin, You own sin
            And I think I need a little poison
            Bright yellow gun

            • Something Corporate - Konstantine

              I can't imagine all the people that you know
              And the places that you go
              When the lights are turned down low
              And I don't understand
              All the things you've seen
              But I'm slipping in between
              You and your big... dreams
              it's always you and my big dreams

              And you tell me that it's over
              Wake up lying in a patch of four-leaf clover...
              And you're restless, and I'm naked
              You've got to get out
              You can't stand to see me shaking
              No... but you let me go
              I didn't think so

              And you don't want to be here in the future
              So you say...
              "the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past"
              And you don't want to look much closer
              'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
              That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
              And it did because of me

              And then you bring me home
              'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
              And I'm dreaming in your living room
              But we don't have much room to live

              I had these dreams that I would learn to play guitar
              Maybe cross the country... become a rockstar
              And if I hurt you, then i'm sorry
              Please don't think that this was easy...

              And then you bring me home
              'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
              And I'm dreaming in your living room
              But we don't have much room to live

              Konstantine came walking down the stairs
              Doesn't she look good standing in her underwear?
              And I was thinking what I was thinking
              But we've been drinking
              And it doesn't get me anywhere.

              My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
              And all that I could do was touch her long blond hair
              And I've been thinking but it hurts me thinking that
              These nights when we were drinking
              No, they never got us anywhere

              This is because I can spell konfusion with a K and I can like it
              It's to dying in anothers arms and why I had to try it
              It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car
              When the first star you see may not be a star...

              I'm not your star
              Isn't that what you said?
              What you thought this song meant?

              If this is what it takes to lie in my mistakes
              And live with what I did to you
              And all the hell I've put you through
              I always catch the clock; it's 11:11
              And now you want to talk
              It's not hard to dream
              You'll always be my Konstantine...

              My Konstantine... they'll never hurt you like I do
              No, they'll never hurt you like I do
              No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

              This is to a girl who got into my head
              With all these pretty things she did
              Hey Baby, You know that you keep me up in bed
              It's to a girl who got into my head
              With all the ****ed up things I did
              Hey Maybe Baby, You could keep me up in bed
              My Konstantine...

              Spin Around me like a Dream
              We played out on this movie screen
              And I said, did you know I missed you?
              Did you know I missed you?
              Did you know I missed you?
              Did you know I missed you?
              Did you know I missed you?
              Did you know I missed you?
              Did you know I missed you?

              And then you bring me home
              And you go to sleep, but this time not alone
              And you'll kiss me in your living room...
              I know you'll miss me in your living room
              These nights I think maybe I miss you in my living room
              But we don't have much room
              Does anybody need that room?
              Because we all need a little more room... to live...

              ...my Konstantine...

              • The Wonder of You
                Elvis Presley

                (words & music by Baker Knight)

                When no-one else can understand me
                When everything I do is wrong
                You give me hope and consolation
                You give me strength to carry on
                And you're always there to lend a hand
                In everything I do
                That's the wonder
                The wonder of you
                And when you smile the world is brighter
                You touch my hand and I'm a king
                Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
                Your love for me is everything
                I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
                You love me like you do
                That's the wonder
                The wonder of you

                • THE CURE

                  Lullaby

                  On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
                  Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
                  Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
                  Looking for the victim shivering in bed
                  Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
                  Suddenly!
                  A movement in the corner of the room!
                  And there is nothing I can do
                  When I realise with fright
                  That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

                  Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
                  Creeps closer now
                  Closer to the foot of the bed
                  And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
                  His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
                  "Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
                  Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
                  For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
                  The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

                  And I feel like I'm being eaten
                  By a thousand million shivering furry holes
                  And I know that in the morning I will wake up
                  In the shivering cold

                  And the spiderman is always hungry...
                  The only reason I was gone for so long was because I hate you people!!!

                    Money Can't Buy It by Annie Lennox

                    Money can't buy it...baby
                    Sex can't buy it...baby
                    Drugs can't buy it...baby
                    You can't buy it...baby

                    I believe that love alone might do these things for you
                    I believe in love alone yea yea

                    Take the power to set you free
                    Kick down the door and throw away the key
                    Give up your needs... Your poisoned seeds
                    Find yourself elected to a different kind of creed

                    I believe that love alone might do these things for you
                    I believe that love alone might do these things for you
                    I believe in the power of creation
                    I believe in the good vibration
                    I believe in love alone yea yea

                    Won't somebody tell me what we're coming to
                    It might take forever till we watch those dreams come true
                    All the money in the world won't buy you peace of mind
                    You can have it all but you still won't be satisfied

                    Money can't buy it...baby
                    Sex can't buy it...baby
                    Drugs can't buy it...baby
                    You can't buy it...baby

                    Now... Hear this
                    Pay attention to me!
                    'Cause I'm a rich white girl and it's plain to see
                    I got every kind of thing that the money can buy
                    Let me tell you all about it
                    Let me amplify
                    I got DIAMONDS!
                    You heard about those
                    I got so many that I can't close my safe at night
                    In the dark
                    Lying awake in a sick dream...

                    I believe that love alone might do these things for you
                    I believe that love alone might do these things for you
                    I believe in the power of creation I believe in the good vibration
                    I believe in love alone yea yea

                    Money Can't Buy It...
                    Money Can't Buy It...

                      Get your motor running
                      Head out on the highway
                      Lookin' for adventure
                      In whatever comes our way

                      Here and god are gonna' make it happen
                      Take the world in a love embrace
                      Fire all of your guns at once and
                      Explode into space

                      I like smoke and lightning
                      Heavy metal thunder
                      Racin' with the wind
                      And the feeling that that I'm under

                      Like a true nature's child
                      We were born, born to be wild
                      We can climb so high
                      I never want to die
                      Born to be wild

                      MAGIC CARPET RIDE
                      Steppenwolf

                      I like to dream, yes I do
                      Right between the sound machine
                      On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
                      Every place she goes is right
                      Flies far, flies near
                      To the stars away from here

                      Well, you don't know what
                      We can find
                      Why don't you come with me little girl
                      On a magic carpet ride

                      Well, you don't know what
                      We can find
                      Why don't you tell your dreams to me
                      Fantasy will set you free

                      CHORUS
                      Close your eyes girl
                      Look inside girl
                      Let the sound take you away

                      Last night I found Aladdin's lamp
                      So I wished that I could stay
                      But before the thing could answer me
                      Someone came and took the lamp away

                      I looked
                      Around
                      A lousy candle's all I found

                      Well, you don't know what
                      We can find
                      Why don't you come with me little girl
                      On a magic carpet ride

                      Well, you don't know what
                      We can see
                      Why don't you tell your dreams to me
                      Fantasy will set you free

                      ROCK ME
                      Steppenwolf

                      She asked me maybe
                      I would share her sorrow
                      About the men that tried to treat her wrong

                      Though just a baby
                      A waiting her tomorrow
                      It's rock me baby, rock me baby
                      All night long

                      She needs an answer to her confusion
                      someone to guide her with tenderness
                      But if she's asking for a solution
                      All that she gets
                      You know it's something like this

                      Don't know where we come from
                      Don't know where we're going to
                      But if all of this should have a reason
                      We would be the last to know

                      So let's just hope there is a promised land
                      Hang on till then as best you can
                      Everybody's ills you know it

                      Fills her with compassion
                      That's why she tries
                      To save the world alone

                      She helps the needy in her own fashion
                      And tries to give them all her own
                      Rock me baby, rock me baby
                      All night long









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

                          Again



                          I've been searching for you
                          I heard a cry within my soul
                          I've never had a yearning quite like this before
                          Know that you are walking right through my door

                          All of my life
                          Where have you been
                          I wonder if I'll ever see you again
                          And if that day comes
                          I know we could win
                          I wonder if I'll ever see you again

                          A sacred gift of heaven
                          For better worse, wherever
                          And I would never let somebody break you down
                          Until you cried, never

                          All of my life
                          Where have you been
                          I wonder if I'll ever see you again
                          And if that day comes
                          I know we could win
                          I wonder if I'll ever see you again

                          At every time I've always known
                          That you where there, upon your throne
                          A lonely queen without her king
                          I longed for you, my love forever

                          All of my life
                          Where have you been

                          All of my life
                          Where have you been
                          I wonder if I'll ever see you again
                          And if that day comes

                          I wonder if I'll ever see you again
                          And if that day comes

                              I'm not alone
                              Seems like you're scared
                              You're holding me back again

                              Confused I'll hold all your
                              thoughts from you
                              You're close to me
                              You hide from your own fears
                              Now I'll set them free

                              No one to hear all your cries
                              No one to hear you beg
                              Listen to me. why can't you see
                              You are with me
                              Positioned under me

                                Some wonder, some filter, some trip to pass the time
                                Just ask him and he'll tell you nothing better then a desparate mind

                                I'm in love with a widow soon to be,
                                I don't think I can fight it
                                Anthems broke and I'm spinning 'round again,
                                Stayin' dizzy 'cause I like it

                                You can have it if you want it,
                                just remember it's a lonely ride
                                Ain't that hard to fight

                                Kickin' hard time, they split you to the bone. Kickin' hard time, risin'

                                Home is your destination, do you think you can find it
                                Feelin' green once again, downtown you go, the arrows rising

                                You can have it if you want it,
                                just remember it's a lonely ride
                                Ain't that hard to fight

                                Kickin' hard time, they split you to the bone. Kickin' hard time, risin'
                                Some wonder, some filter, some trip to pass the time
                                Just asked him and he will tell you there is nothing better then a deperate mind

                                Diablo, talk to me, tell me what's on your mind
                                That game boy, to the rivals, we don't need no war inside

                                Kickin' hard time, kickin' hard time, risin'
                                Once so magnetic but you do it so poetic
                                And you lay it on the line and singin' kickin' hard time, it ain't that
                                hard to find
                                Kickin' hard time, they split you to the bone. Kickin' hard time, risin'
