Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy 'Cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy Hey think the time is right for a palace revolution Where I live the game to play is just to compromise my solution What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no other place for a street fighting man Hey did I tell you that my name was called disturbance And I'll shout and scream and I'll kill the king and I'll rail at all his servants What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no place for a street fighting man Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet boy 'Cause the summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street boy What can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band 'Cause you see bein' London town there's just no other place for a street fighting man |

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days I'll say goodbye to Colorado Where I was born and prob'ly raised Your mother says I am a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there's one promise darling I'll see you on God's golden shore Through this open world I'm about to ramble Through ice, snow, sleet and rain I am about to rob the mornin' railroad Perhaps I'll die on that train I'm goin' back to Colorado Place that I started from If I'd knowed how bad you'd treat me Honey I never would have come |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya |

I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

Baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry You know she done me wrong She held my eyes open and that's no lie Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry But then I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is But then I used to love her but it's all over now Listen She used to run around with every single man in town Spent all my money playing her fast game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Ain't no lie because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed When I got worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there with every single man in town But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is Because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen to this one Because I used to love her but it's all over now But then I used to love her but it's all now wait a minute But then I used to love her but you know but you know it's all over now But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now |

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children always fighting for fair share And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week I saw grandma yesterday down at the store Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm: And it's good old country comforts in my bones Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones Country comforts and the road that's going home Down at the mill they've got a new machine Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen "Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says 'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days ( |

When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing then I know I love ya Oh the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya |

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way just to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself |

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor but then again no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota Hell, it's been a very long time You wear it well A little old-fashioned, but that's alright Well, I suppose you're thinking how Betty is sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me Though I ain't begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know, that You wear it well there ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my Remember their basement parties, your brothers' cavorting The all-day rock-and-roll show The homesick blues and the radical views Haven't left a mark on you You wear it well A little out of line but I don't mind But, I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I'll believe it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get a letter through Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town And you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire You wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no And when my coffee is cold and I'm getting told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh, and ( 2) I'll wear it well I don't object if you call collect 'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I feel it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Trying to get back to you |

(Pete Townshend)
[TOMMY (1914-1984), Various Artists, 1972] Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball; From Soho down to Brighton I must have played 'em all. But I ain't seen nothin' like him In any amusement hall That deaf, dumb an' blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball. He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feelin' all the bumpers Always playin' clean. Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall. That deaf, dumb an' blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball! |

In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me You're for me Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like you for me |
