Live Evil Dead Moon Night Thunderbolts and nightsticks Coming out of the sky Flames overhead Rain until you cry My baby's on the highway Come in from the cold Never going home, never going home D for disaster E for my eyes A for my anger D before I die M for Mona O oh good O oh good N for the night Dead Moon Night Call me if you need me Down in New Orleans Can't release the victims Have you seen what I've seen In New York City Don't you cross the line Guard it from the light, guard it from the light Hazard on the highway Breakin' down slow They thought she was lookin' Now I'm all alone I'm often abandoned Won't you take me home Now I'm all alone, won't you take me home Graveyard It's a new game, causing pain You know I've got you on my brain It's the kind of hell you'll never know Girls like you just turn me cold But I guess you found my weaker side Resistance, God how I tried But I've got it bad I must confess To tell the truth I've done my best But you treat me like poison Even with the lights on Guess I might as well be dead Oh, I'm in the graveyard Tried whiskey to ease your hex It made it worse, my life's a wreck The pills I took to numb my pain Only brought visions of you again I'd put the noose around my neck But the way I feel, I'd probably break Love must be an evil curse I've tried to fight, It just gets worse Your love is like an endless hell What you do to me you know too well You won't give me the time I'm on the firing line Convicted and disposed You look but eyes are closed Remember Me I clutched at the broken strings As you let go of me And in my darkest hour I never thought you'd set me free And now that you've gone beyond You think I don't belong It's not easy to pretend Remember me I was in the crowded season When the leaves began to fall I was in the mainline then You were up against the wall I couldn't see the end was near You told me what I wanted to hear It was easy to pretend Remember me And as I walked away The changes that I saw At once I was sure you'd made it Just to see me crawl And I remember you Sooner or later I swear I'll be taken on that long hard ride Down to those sunset towers Where you can hear lost angels cry Falling like fire and rain Back to my seeds again It's so easy to pretend Remember me I remember you Parchment Farm (Allison) I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm, Ain't never done no man no harm Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack. Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack. Well, I'm putting that cotton in a never-full sack, A twelve-gauge shotgun at my back. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm. I'm sitting over here on Parchman farm, Ain't never done no man no harm. These are the original Mose Allison lyrics... Must check with Fred what he has changed (apart from the title)! Time Has Come Today (Joseph & Willie Chambers) Time has come today young hearts can go Their way can't put it off another day I don't care what others say they say we Don't listen anyway time has come today, hey The room has changed today I have no place to stay I'm thinking about the subway my love has blown away My tears have come and gone oh, Lord I got to run I got no home no, I have no home Now the time has come nowhere (place) to run Might get burned up by the sun but I'll have my fun I've been loved, pushed (put) aside I've been crushed By tumbling tide and my soul has been psychedelicized Now the time has come there are things to realize Time has come today Time has come today Hey Joe (Public Domain) Hey Joe Where you going with that gun in your hand Hey Joe Where you going with that gun in your hand Going down to shoot my old lady You know I caught her messing around with another man Going down to shoot my old lady You know I caught her messing around on me Hey Joe I heard that you shot your old lady down Hey Joe I heard that you shot your old lady down Yes I did, I shot her her You know, I caught that girl messing around town Yes I did, I shot her her You know, I caught that girl messing around town I took out my gun, Then I shot her I shot her Hey Joe Where you gonna run to now Hey Joe Where you gonna run to now Where you gonna go Ain't no hangman gonna Get a rope around me Ain't no hangman gonna Get a rope around me. (no one gonna) Goin' way down south Way down to Mexico way Goin' way down south Way down where I can be free Signed D.C. (Arthur Lee) Sometimes I feel so lonely My comedown I'm scared to face I've pierced my skin again, Lord No one cares for me My soul belongs to the dealer* He keeps my mind as well I play the part of the leecher And no one cares for me Look out, Joe, I'm falling I can't control my arms I've got one foot in the graveyard And no one cares for me Cares for me Cares for me Signed D.C. *These are the original lyrics. Fred sings "I owe my soul to the dealer..." Not The Only One I'm not the only one, the only lonely one You know who you are, afraid to lose your hearts You sit in the corners of a world gone square You can see them but to them you'r not there Did you ever wonder why you'r stranger than - close? I'm not the only one who's tired of the gun There must be something more than marching off to war Bleeding in the trenches 'neath a 90 lb pack 18 years old and never coming back How can their dying ever make us feel - free? I'm not the only one trying to get ahead Working everyday harder than I'm paid Going through changes - working my job Thinking things be better if I get on top With everybody yelling "Hey, what about me/me?" Don't Burn The Fires Running away, I knew I was wrong I's tried to fit in where I didn't belong Wearing their clothes, playing their games Being a part of that urban decay Don't burn the fires, I'm never coming home When the morning sky was cold and grey I could hear the whispers of my own mistakes Those warning eyes, that final touch No one seemed to care that much So don't burn the fires, I'm never coming home And when I'd reached my destination I thought someday I might return Cause deep inside was the need to feel the home fires burn But a faltering voice merely whispered My name as if we'd never expected to hear it again, and my heart grew cold to that indifferent sound as I slowly laid the receiver down Dead In The Saddle You used to carry the flag You were the soldier You used to head the point You were the older You used to fight for peace War was no stranger You used to walk the line Right into danger The wind cries Dead in the saddle You used to hold me up When you were younger You had the coldest eyes They put me under You weren't they only one Who felt like crying You weren't the only one Who felt like dying The wind dries Dead in the saddle You used to stare the night For distant thunder You used to have a look That made me wonder You held the hand of death When you rode into battle As you rode like the wind You could hear deaths rattle The wind cries Dead In the saddle Can't Help Falling In Love (Weiss/Peretti/Creatore) Wise men say only fools rush in but I can't help falling in love with you Shall I say would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes some things are meant to be take my hand, take my whole life, too for I can't falling in love with you Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes some things are meant to be take my hand, take my whole life, too for I can't falling in love with you for I can't falling in love with you 54/40 Or Fight I've got a train drivin' through my head Got a fever burnin' in my bed If my telephone's ringin', somebody's dead on the line I'm gettin' mad I'm gettin' pissed I can't handle much more of this Everybody sets me off, man, I'm walkin' on ice I need something strong to pull me through I've got to find a way to kick these blues It's that cold in the night and I've got blood in my eyes I say 54/40 or fight I've go a queesy feelin' in my guts Can't you see that I've had enough Everybody sets me off, man, I'm over the edge I've got a time-bomb tickin' inside Fire burnin' in my eyes No where to hide and no where to turn I've got a needle deep down in my soul I've got nerves goin' out of control My adrenalin's pumpin' and I-m ready to burst I say 54/40 or fight I've got a rocket trail in my mind I've got a feelin' that I haven't much time I've got a time-bomb tickin' with nowhere to turn Now these restraints that you're puttin' on me The dealin' with society This - the final approach, is my cause for alarm So don't tell me what I was before Or expect me to be something more I'm on the defense and I'm over the line I say 54/40 or fight I'm Wise You nag me and you haunt me And you tell me dirty lies You think you've pulled it off But for some time I've realized That everything you do is to drive me from my mind I've been listening to the silence for your tiptoes in the night I'm wise, wise to you You've never faced the day when judgement comes to town You've been dealing from the bottom, dealing dirty, deep, and down You got yourself a boyfriend who'll be comin' 'round tonight While I'm outside aworkin' and doing overtime I'm wise, wise to you You think it's sugar powder 'cause everything's so sweet When you melt away the glaze of all the people that you see The more I'm educated, the more I hang on the cord You can cut the lies 'cause I know what's going on I'm wise, wise to you You Must Be A Witch Why do you try to look into me Why do you always look and never see Always look and never see You're painting me green You're talking obscene You're wearing your colors to be like the others An easy life in heaven with a thousand other guys Wou must be a witch I don't need your love now The place, the time Don't seem to matter much 'Cause class to you Is pushing people with your touch You're eyes can't see There's something wrong with you It's sad to say I nevver wanna be like you Never wanna be like you Animal Mechanical wires and hidden desires Gets you so tired, realise you've been fired Your Ambition, your position is lost Your the hostage working for the new age The force of unthinkers, the system dog The concrete line, the sex-drive unit The trenches of agony, yeah Your just an animal with no way out Your getting restless everyday Population, extermination The desease to expire, it's a deperate fix The damaged are screened By a steel machine They just hook you into the chair But don't you worry 'bout the sweat on your brow Your dangerous now, you can't get a job The panic crunch-you just better run Your marked, you're a target, a victim Your just an animal with no way out Your getting restless Your getting restless everyday Communication Breakdown (Led Zeppelin) Hey, girl, stop what you're doin' Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin I don't know what it is that I like about you But I like it a lot. Won't let me hold you Let me feel your lovin' charms Communication breakdown It's always the same I'm having a nervous breakdown Drive me insane Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah I'm never gonna let you go 'Cause I like your charms Chorus I want you to love me all night... Chorus I want you to love me all night I want you to love me I want you to love...yeah I want you to love Got this one from an unofficial Zep site. Must check. D.O.A Into dark waters flow - bad dreams of long ago Children who never knew - what doors would open to Flights taking weary souls - life shakes of bitter cold Love tears on golden shores - teenaged, no more (chorus) What made you take the trip How could you go so quick Out through the open door I wish I'd loved you more D. O. A. Pure as the driven snow - innocence now quickly goes Hard pressed between the folds - inside the overcoat Warm hearts and homeless bound - beware the city sound Lying there below the street - broken, hard and beat In cries of angels fall - in time you hear them all Each face a deeper down - each heard a highway sound Bound for the twilight flash - in tears the blinding match A moments flame now cold - I knew her long ago Dagger Moon Release me from your wire dagger moon Release me from your wire dagger moon Release me from your wire I'm the hang of your desire Release me from your wire dagger moon Release me from the chamber dagger moon Release me from the chamber dagger moon Release me from the collars Shadows and the tarnish yeah Leave me on the outside dagger moon Ah now what you came for dagger moon Tell me what you came for dagger moon You came in with your needle Deep inside my fevers God above you dagger moon Shadows are a-fading dagger moon Shattered 'neath my patient attitude Nervous sooner changes Goddamn I hate you Always on the outside dagger moon Release me from your wire Dagger moon Sorry, did this one by heart, I'll check with the sleeve later OK?

And f you're willing to pay the price… On My Own In my way, I've had my day I've touched it all and watched it as it fell away Pressed my face to glass before I broke I'm on my own And as I lay in a twlight spell I could sense something was coming as the comets fell Out there something's moving in the lights I'm on my own A metal gray that glides away The silver beads of heat that weld the night to day That weightless, sinking feeling without time I'm on my own A Miss Of You I used to be so, so down I thought I had been changed So when I found you were running around I too tried to play that game I know the way now This time it won't take long We used to run around two by two We tried to break our hearts And in the mornin' when the corners are jaded I too began to fall apart So if I seem unable to cope It's for a miss of you If what we were was only for once You were always worth the view Black September The angry moon of August hung As I wrapped myself in you The winds of war had cut into As I tried to fight the truth And in that time I lost my youth And now I bear the scars With black September comin' on You know you won't get far Destruction lay before my eyes In a generation beat We seemed to be too high to see What was dying in the street We thought we'd change the world back then Without becoming hard With black September comin' on You know you won't get far We thought back then we'd be there now How could I know what waits for me How could I be so cruel To know the best of days gone by And the something I would lose I watch the tides of summer fade In memories 'neath the dark With black September comin' on You know you won't get far Echoes To You I don't want the hour to fade I don't want to make the break I don't want a conversation With the echos of a dying nation I just want to spread your wings beneath my sky I don't want to pale the light I don't want to lose you twice I don't want an explanation Like the echos in the waiting station I just want to spread your wings beneath my sky I don't want to forget you I don't want a perfect blue I don't want to know the answer Like the echos of an aging dancer Just want to spread your wings beneath my sky Running Scared The imaginary line that we don't dare cross That innocent side that might be lost That dangerous beast that lies inside That public cry, that never knowing The dark at the top of the stairs I'm running scared That fading youth that leaves no trace That tick-tick-ticking that leaves no trace That final design, that self-destruct That condescending critic who's out for blood The dark at the top of the stairs I'm running scared That twilight flash, that one-night stand That grand illusion, that radar scan That piece by piece, that bit by bit That electric whine by mechanical lips The dark at the top of the stairs I'm running scared Walking On My Grave I can't stay knowing what's going down I can't stay, darkness on the edge of town streetwise kids in an act of defiance out to defeat what's already behind us rattle and shake their political cans giving directions without any plans there's a new kid on the block and he's taking my place walking on my grave I can't stay staring down a .44 I can't stay dying on the killing floor a man in blue and he's drawing a gun a child in the shadows too scared to run crack on the mirror of a teenage dream like a lost generation on L.S.D. There's a new kid on the block and he's taking my place walking on my grave I can't stay knowing what's going down I can't stay, darkness on the edge of town the brain's still twitching but the eyes are closed my best friends dying from an overdose a red light flares unacounted for it's happening now and it's happened before there's a new kid on the block and he's taken my place walking on my grave Graveyard It's a new game, causing pain You know I've got you on my brain It's the kind of hell you'll never know Girls like you just turn me cold But I guess you found my weaker side Resistance, God how I tried But I've got it bad I must confess To tell the truth I've done my best But you treat me like poison Even with the lights on Guess I might as well be dead Oh, I'm in the graveyard Tried whiskey to ease your hex It made it worse, my life's a wreck The pills I took to numb my pain Only brought visions of you again I'd put the noose around my neck But the way I feel, I'd probably break Love must be an evil curse I've tried to fight, It just gets worse Your love is like an endless hell What you do to me you know too well You won't give me the time I'm on the firing line Convicted and disposed You look but eyes are closed
