Ten Years After - Positive Vibrations (2004) by Ten Years After (보컬) on maniadb.com

(Alvin Lee)

I read a lot of things I've seen in the papers
and they went right through my head.
Robbers and killers and midnight rapers
who will get you in your bed.

The world's not safe for living in;
There's too much hate and too much sin.
Got to get help from the new world shapers
or it might just be too late.
Gimme a line on the telephone;
Come on baby, don't make it alone.
No-where to run, no-where to hide

Can't stop you doping, you still think I'm joking; such a shame.
You know I love you, I'm thinking of you, you and me.

I heard a lot of tales about heavenly dopers
who are trying to make a break.
Know a lot of folk who are daily smokers
'Cause they just can't take it straight.

Reality can be a strain;
There's too much hate and too much pain.
Got to get some help or the air will choke us
or it might soon be too late.

Know we've got problems with the air,
Too many people who never care.
No-where to run, no-where to hide.

Can't stop you dying, I'm still gonna keep on trying; such a shame.
Hang on to your life.

(Alvin Lee)

In the night - when you're all alone
With the one - that you call your own
Ask yourself - if you're doing good
Give yourself some positive vibrations,
Give yourself some positive vibrations.

Well, the skies - they look down on you;
And the stars, they will guide you through
On this plane - that we all live on
Give yourself some positive vibrations,
Give yourself some positive vibrations.

Too many wanderers are wandering;
Too many ponderers are pondering;
Too many squanderers are squandering.
All you've got to do - is let the sun come shining through.
Give yourself some positive vibrations,
Give yourself some positive vibrations.

You can do - what you want to do,
You can call the game you play.
You can go - where you want to go.
Give yourself some positive vibrations,
Give yourself some positive vibrations.

Stone me, stone me - see if I care,
It won't get you no-where.
Stone me, stone me, I am free.
I can't deny - I am high;
High on my own, out of this zone.
And I can't cry no more, I been down on the floor.

Stone me, stone me, straight down the road,
Carry your load.
Ride on, ride on, I am strong.
I can't explain, I feel no pain;
Feeling so strong, I just keep going on.
And I don't give a damn, 'cause I am what I am.

(Alvin Lee)

Without you, could-n't start the day, babe;
Without you - I would-n't stand a chance,
Without you - the sky would be so grey, babe.
I just want to be within you, close enough to feel within you.

Without you - I'm crawling on all fours;
Without you - the room has got no doors.
Without you - the stars don't seem to shine, girl;
Without you - it seems so hard to smile;
Without you - my life don't seem so fine, girl.
Just because I really love you, I want you to know I love you.

Without you - no reason I can see for living.
Without you - there's nothing left to me for giving.
Without you - I cannot smile no more;
Without you - I'm left flat on the floor
Without you - the days would be too sad to handle.
Without you - my life is just a burned out candle.

Without you - the days would be too sad for living.
Without you - there's nothing left for giving.
Without you - all the minutes pass me by like hours.
Without you - I'm just like a grave without the flowers.
Without you.

(Alvin Lee)

It's getting harder, babe, to love you,
It's getting harder all the while.
And if you want me, tell me; all you have to do is smile.
It's been a long time since I've seen you,
Looking straight into my eyes.
And if you want to leave me, it'll come as no surprise.
I tried to hard - to make a home for you.
Tell me straight now, what am I supposed to do ?

It's getting harder, girl, to love you,
'Cause you're treating me so cruel.
But if it's over, tell me; I don't want to be the fool.
I tried too hard - to work our problems out.
So if it's over, honey please don't drag it out.

It's getting harder, babe, to love you,
'Cause our lives have grown apart.
If you don't want me, tell me; I don't want to break your heart.
I tried too hard - to make a home for you.
Tell me straight now, what am I supposed to do ?

It's getting harder, babe, to love you;
Tell Me what you want with me.
If you don't love me, tell me,
Honey, then I'll set you free.

(Alvin Lee)

You're driving me crazy, you're driving me mad;
You're makining me lazy, you're making me bad.
You know you're no good to me,
But you're the best woman I've had.

You lose all my friends,
You scare them away;
It looks like the end, babe,
Of living my way.
You know you do me no good,
But then I hope that you're going to stay.

You ruin' my health, you use me too much.
You've blown all my wealth, you cripple my crutch.
I know I'm playing with fire,
But then I like what I feel when I touch.

My mama, she warned me - about your kind;
My friends all scorned me, they say I'm blind.
But then I know what I like, and,
Babe I like it with you all of the time.

They call you a witch, they say I'm a fool;
They call you a bitch, say you're really uncool.
But, babe, when I get on you,
It's just like getting a kick from a mule.

(Alvin Lee)

Come into my head, tell me what you see;
Just another dreamer trying to be free,
Look into my life and tell me what you see,
Just another schemer searching for the key.
Just another trucker, just another bum,
Just another jumper always on the run.

Come into my brain, tell me what you find;
Just another searcher scared of going blind,
Look into my life and tell me what you find,
Just another tripper blowing out his mind.
Just another joker, just another tramp,
Just another flyer heading up the ramp.

Come into my love life, tell me what you feel;
Just another hustler trying to be real,
Look into my life and tell me what you feel,
Just another trapper trying to break the seal.

Come into my mind, tell me what goes on;
Just another picker picking at a song,
Look into my life and tell me what goes on,
Just another gambler trying to hit the gong.

(Alvin Lee)

When you get through telling lies,
Look me straight into the eyes.
When you get down to the core,
Tell me what you want me for.

When you've played your little game,
I will still be just the same.
When you've got what you came for,
Don't forget to close the door.

If you like I'll nod my head and grin,
I'll pretend that I've been taken in.
Speak to me before it is too late,
Tell the truth and we can get it straight.

Well I wanted to boogie so we got in the car
Well I wasn't too choosy but then soon we got far
So we stopped in a club and we had us a drink
Well it wasn't too long and just what do you think

Well I wanted to boogie and the band they came on
Yellow Bird very pretty but I don't like the song
So I went for a walk and I followed the sound
And I came to a party and a lady I found

Well she smiled real sweet and she said you're a peach
So she wanted to take me for a walk on the beach
And she told me the breeze as it comes from the sea
Keeps your hard on all night and you will need it with me

Well I wanted to boogie but I wasn't too sure
That I wanted to do just what she wanted me for
So I said I'm with friends and I haven't the dime
So she turned round and said, well come and see me sometime

Well, I wanted to boogie so we kept on the move
And we looked for a place where we could go in and groove
So we went to the Playboy and we hadn 't got keys
So it cost thrity dollars just to go in and freeze

So I wanted to boogie but the time hadn't come
We decided to sleep and then get up with the sun
So we headed for home and it didn't take long
So I sat on my bed and then I wrote out this song
