Andy Summers

Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking She's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand to close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, whe's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use
He sees her
He starts to shake he starts to cough
Just like the old man in
That famous book by Nabakov
Don't stand so close to me

How can you say that your not responsible
What does it have to do with me
What is my reaction What should it be
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existence is reduced
To a shallow, meaningless party
Seems that when some innocents die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cam'ras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears

Protest is futile Nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world
Who knows what to do Driven to tears
Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears

Every breath you take
every move you make
every bond you break
every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
every word you say
every game you play
every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
you belong to me
how my poor heart breaks
with every step you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone
I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only
see your face
I look around but it's
you I can't replace
I feel so cold
and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby baby please

Oh can't you see
you belong to me
how my poor heart breaks
with every step you take
Every move you make
every vow you break
every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
every step you take
I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a hole in my life
There's a hole in my life
Shadow in my heart
Is tearing me apart
Or maybe it's just something in my stars
There's a hole in my life
Be a happy man
I try the best I can
Or maybe I'm just looking for too much
There's something missing from my life
Cuts me open like a knife
It leaves me vulnerable
I have this disease
I shake like an incurable
God help me, please
Oh, there's a hole in my life
There's a hole in my life
Yeah, yeah, yeah

There's something missing from my life
Cuts me open like a knife
It leaves me vulnerable
I have this disease
I shake like an incurable
God help me, please
Oh, there's a hole in my life
There's a hole in my life

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only gonna change this place
By killing everyone in the human race
And they would kill me for a cigarette
But I dont even want to die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be and invisible sun
It gives us hope when the whole day's done

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
That's my soul up there
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That's my soul up there
There's a blue whale beached by the springtide's ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
That's my soul up there
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
That's my soul up there
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life or
Love can break your heart

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

I'm sending out an S.O.S.
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
I'm sending out an S.O.S.
I'm sending out an S.O.S.

I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away.
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
(You) took me over, let me find a way.

I sold my house
I sold my motor, too.
All I want is to be Next To You.
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane.
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane.

What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before.
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me.

What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.

All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you.

So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind.
When all it is is just a love affair.
You took me over baby, take me there.

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you.

All I want is to be next to you...

You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
(

Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
Now no-one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years, or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat, they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
I feel lonely, I'm so lonely, I feel so low
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away
Something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake
Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like
cheap tarts in a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away
Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish lake
Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away
There's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake
Many miles away, many miles away

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Where you want to be, won't you ever see?

Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone
Ah....now!

Fifty million years ago
You walked upon the planet so
Lord of all that you could see
Just a little bit like me

Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps

Hey Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn't ask for more
You were God's favourite creature
But you didn't have a future

Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps

Hey mighty brontosaurus
Don't you have a message for us
You thought your rule would always last
There were no lessons in your past
You were built three storeys high
They say you would not hurt a fly
If we explode the atom bomb
Would they say that we were dumb?

Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps

Fifty million years ago
They walked upon the planet so
They live in a museum
It's the only place you'll see 'em

Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps

They say the meek shall inherit the earth
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
Walking in your footsteps

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away, no way
And if it's the price I pay, some say
Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk for ever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say
I'm wishing my days away no way
And if it's the price I pay, some say
Tomorrow's another day, you'll stay
I may as well play

you consider me the young apprentice
caught between the Scylia and Charibdes
hypnotized by you if i should linger
staring at the ring around your finger
i have only come here seeking knowledge,
things they wouldn't teach me of in college
i can see the destiny you sold
turned into a shining band of gold
i'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
but i know what you're up to just the same
i will listen hard to your tuition
and you willl see it come to its fruition
i'll be wrapped around your finger
devil and the deep blue sea behind me
vanish in the air you'll never find me
i will turn your face to alabaster
then you will find your servant is your master
and you'll be wrapped around my finger

Baby can I take you home
Baby let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home

Baby can I dance with you
Baby can I dance with you
I'll do anything in this God-Almighty world
If you'll just let me dance with you...

Baby let me take you home
Baby let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home

When I saw you baby
I couldn't ignore you
And I wanted you for my girl
And when you said 'yeah'
I just couldn't care about
Anybody else in this world alone
You smiled at me baby
And I could see my life
Planned out ahead
You took my hand and it felt so good
And this is what you said--

'Baby won't you be my man
Baby won't you be my man'
Yes, I'll be your man
And I'll do the best I can
I want to be your man
Thats all baby
Oh, c'mon c'mon baby
Baby, feel alright
Hey baby, its alright
So good
It's all right

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, oh yeah

You know I laughed, when you left
But now I know I've only hurt myself
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'll give you jewelry, money too
and that's not all, all I'll do for you
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

You know I'll always be your slave
Until I'm dead and buried in my grave
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…

Well, you've been gone,
For fourteen long days
Yes, you've been gone
For fourteen long, lonely days
And I'm prayin' to the Lord
Please don't take my love away...

Come back home,
All I want is you
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, Come back home, baby
You know all I want is you
You know you'll never find another boy
To treat you like I used to treat you

Oh baby,
Baby, why don't you come back home to me
Hey, baby baby,
Why don't you come back home to me

I want you to come back home baby
Baby, please set me free...

She my woman and she lives next door
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up
She brings me coffee in an old tin cup

That's why I know
Yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friends

I know she'll love with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile at them and say she told me so
That's why I know

Yes, I know
Hallelujah, I just love her so
When she calls me on the telephone
Baby, I'm all alone

By the time I count, one to four

And In the evening when the sun goes down
And there is no one else around

She kisses me and she holds me tight

Yes, I know

Hallelujah, I just love her so
All right now

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes I know it

(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Somewhere baby, somehow I know it

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Believe me baby
I know it baby
You know it too

Oh Lord, Lordy Lord, it hurts me so bad for us to part
Someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life no more

You're on my mind every place I go
How much I love you baby, baby you'll never know
Someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life no more

So many mornings since you've been gone
I'm on my knees prayin' to you baby, please come back home
Someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life no more, oh yeah

I want you brown eyes, I want you till my days end
But I want you as a lover, you're no good to me as my friend
Someday baby, I won't worry my life no more, yeah

That's my story, this is all I got to say to you
Oh goodbye baby, I don't care what you do
Someday baby, I ain't gonna worry no, my life no more

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I seem to be bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems, and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
Because I love you
Oh, oh baby don't you know that I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

They said the joint was rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon went down
You know it sounds so sweet
I gotta take me a chance
Rose out of my seat
You know I had to dance
Started movin' my feet
Oh, clappin' my hands
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon went down
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon went down
Twelve o'clock
And the place was packed
Twelve o'clock
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon went down
And we kept on rockin'
Goin' 'round and 'round
Oh baby
With that crazy sound
And it never stopped rockin'
Til the moon went down

Baby can I take you home
Baby let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home

If you'll just let me dance with you...

I'll love you all my life
You can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home

When I saw you baby
I couldn't ignore you
And I wanted you for my girl
And when you said 'yeah'
I just couldn't care about
Anybody else in this world alone
You smiled at me baby
And I could see my life
Planned out ahead
You took my hand and it felt so good
And this is what you said--

'Baby won't you be my man
Baby won't you be my man'
Yes, I'll be your man
And I'll do the best I can
I want to be your man
Thats all baby
Oh, c'mon c'mon baby
Baby, feel alright
Hey baby, its alright
So good
It's all right

Sit here and wonder what am I so blue
Is it because I'm still in love with you ?
Blue blue feeling got me down today
Blue blue feeling, my baby's gone away

Now that she's gone, I don't know what I'll do
I guess I'll have to find, find somebody new
Blue blue feeling got me down today
Blue blue feeling, my baby's gone away

Baby please don't leave me, oh don't leave me

Now that she's gone, I'm feeling kind of blue
I guess I'll have to find, find somebody new
Blue blue feeling got me down today
Blue blue feeling, my baby's gone away

Well baby please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
Awh!Honey child don't leave me now,
Baby please, baby please

Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Take you in my arms
I'm in love with you
Love that is true
Boom boom boom boom

When you walk that walk

You knock me out
Right off of my feet
C'mon and shake, Shake it baby

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh, bring it to me, bring your sweet loving

Baby, do you understand me now
그대여,이제 나를 이해할수 있나요
Sometimes I feel a little mad
난 어쩔 땐 좀 미칠 지경이 되어요
But don't you know
하지만 세상의 그 누구도
That no one alive can always be an angel
항상 천사 같을 순 없다는 걸 모르나요
When things go wrong
일이 잘 안 풀릴 때는
I seem to be bad
나도 좀 나쁜 사람이 되죠

But I'm just a soul
하지만 난 마음만큼은
Whose intentions are good
선량한 사람이랍니다
Oh Lord, 오,주여
Please don't let me be misunderstood
오오, 제발 날 오해하지 말아요
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
그대, 난 어쩔 때는 감출 수 없는 기쁨에
With the joy that's hard to hide
마냥 즐거워할 때도 있어요
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
때로는 온통 걱정뿐인 때도 있지요
And then you're bound to see my other side
그럴 땐 그대가 내 반대의 모습을 보아주세요

If I seem edgy I want you to know
내가 짜증스럽고 예민해 보일 때라도
That I never mean to take it out on you
결코 그대에게 화내려는 건 아님을 알아주기 바라요
Life has its problems and I get my share
인생엔 문제가 있기 마련이고 나도 고민이 있어요
And that's one thing I never mean to do
나도 결코 당신한테 그러고 싶지는 않아요
'Cause I love you
그대를 사랑하니까요
Oh oh oh baby, don't you know I'm human
아, 그대, 나도 다른 사람들처럼
Have thoughts like any other one
고민이 많은 사람이란 걸 모르시나요
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
때때로 혼자서 돌이켜 후회하지요
Some foolish things
나의 바보 같은 행동,
Some little sinful things I've done
내가 저지른 행동들을

Can you believe, I ain't no saint
No complaints

"This song was written by John Lee Hooker
About his wife, her name is Maudie
Everytime he has an arguement with her
He has to write a new verse to keep her happy
He was over here at London a short while back
And he taught me this song .......?"
Oh Maudie, baby, I love you
Mmm, baby, I love you
Yeah, you've been gone so long
Girl, I miss you so
Oh Maudie, why did you hurt me?
Mmm, Maudie, I said why did you hurt me?
You know I need your sweet lovin' like a flower needs the rain
Sometimes when they'd have an argument
He'd take her by the hand and say,
"Maudie, you know I love you
You know I need you
And I got just one thing to say baby….ho!"
Hey Maudie, baby don't you know I love you
Oh, Maudie, I said baby don't you know I love you
I've been gone so long, God, I miss you so much
Sometimes Johns old lady
She'd turn around to him and say,
"John, if you don't quit your messin' around baby,
I'm gonna walk right outta that door
With my bag in my hand."
John would say, "Hey!"
Well, Maudie, sweet little girl, baby,
Oh Maudie, be my sweet little girl, baby,
When you touch my hand
My head is all in a whirl now baby
I love you Maudie
I said I love you Maudie
Oh, love you Maudie
Ooh, love you Maudie
You know I need, I need, I need, need, yeah
I said Maudie, baby, I love you
Oh Maudie, baby, I love you
I love you Maudie
You've been gone so long,
How I've missed you too much
I love you.

You know I got a letter from a friend of mine
In Newcastle-Upon-a'Tyne the other day
He said to me "Eric I heard you've been havin' some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"
He said "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman back up here to Newcastle,
'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here
And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'
And because people around here don't go away stealin' each others loved ones away from one another,
Like they do down there in the smoke"
He also said in the letter that, ah,
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
And I believed every word he said, now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
One more thing he told me now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said to me babe
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said, all right, all right
So I'm sayin' to you who are listen'
If you've been unlucky in love
And you've lost somebody love
And you hear a voice that comes to you in the middle of the night and says
It says I want you to get on up
Listen to me,
I want you to get on up and find yourself another one
If your havin' breakfast one morning and out from behind the teapot a little voice says,
Listen, Hey! I want you to get on up now
If your out in the mornin' on your job
And a voice come to you on your job and says,
Get up! Get Up!
And you know its not the foreman
Its a little voice that says
You wanna get up and walk ...(?) women
Go on and find yourself somebody
That's what you'd better do.
Because I'll tell you one thing
There's one thing I found out
One thing I found out
Took me a long time to find it out
Yeah it took me a long time to find out
But I, .think I got it now
Oh yeah..
One monkey don't stop no show
Yes, its true baby
One monkey don't stop no show
Don't let one monkey stop up your show
One monkey don't stop no show
One monkey don't stop no show

Girl, what have I done?
For you to mistreat me this way
I'm left out of everything
Each and every day
I'm just an outcast
I don´t know how long I'm goin' to last
Lord, when will it be over
Baby, come on and help me discover
I guess I've got to do my best
But my girl gives me unhappiness
Lord, no matter how hard I try
Tears keep comin' down from my eyes
I'm just an outcast
I don't know how long I´m gonna last
Lord, when will it be over
Baby, come on and help me discover
[Instrumental break: guitar-organ exchanges]
You know, I'm just a young boy
But she treats me like last year's toy
I want her, for myself
I want her and nobody else
I'm just an outcast
Don't know how long I can last
Oh, when will it be over
Baby, come on and help me discover
I'm just an outcast--
Waauuggh!--
An' I don't know how long I can last--
Ow!--
I think I can make it--
I've got to try and make it--
Waauuggh!

As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
As the crow flies, baby
Will I ain't so far from you
But since I don't have wings
I can't get home as fast as I want to
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name
In a dream last night
Where I heard you call my name

Well, I took it as an omen
And I jumped on the very first weight train
Yeah, as the crow flies
Well, you don't know baby
How I miss you sweet caress
Well, you don't know baby
How I miss you sweet caress
When I'm in your lovin' arms
I swear I make my very best
As the crow flies, baby
That's how I'm on my way
As the crow flies, baby
I'm on my way
But don't stop runnin'
I can get home for the break of day
Get home for the break of day (x7)

I don't want much
Just want a little bit
Don't want it all
Just a little bit
Give me an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love

Turn your lamps down low
Slip me a kiss
Turn your lights down low
I won't let you resist
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love

Early in the mornin'
Well just a little bit
Around midnight
Just a little bit
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love

Walk with me
Just a little bit
I said talk to me
Just a little bit
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love

I want you to remember
To say that you'll be mine
Say you'll never leave me
Till the end of time
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love
I want an eeny weeny bit
A teeny weeny bit of your love

Now my room has got two windows but the sunshine never comes through
You know it's always dark and dreary since I broke off, baby, with you

I live on a lonely avenue,
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".
Well, I feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you.
I could cry, I could cry, i could cry,
I could die, I could die, I could die,
because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue.

(Now my) covers they feel like lead and my pillow it feels like stone,
Well, I've tossed and turned so ev'ry night, I'm not used to being alone

I live on a lonely avenue,
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".
Well, I feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you.
I could cry, I could cry, i could cry,
I could die, I could die, I could die,
because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue.

Now I've been so sad and lonesome since you've left this town,
If I could beg or borrow the money, child, I would be a highway bound

I live on a lonely avenue,
My little girl wouldn't say, "I do".
Well, I feel so sad and blue
and it's all because of you.
I could cry, I could cry, i could cry,
I could die, I could die, I could die,
because I live on a lonely avenue, lonely avenue.

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over

Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will
That keeps me alive

I've been licked
Washed up for years
And I merely survive
Because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time

There'll be times I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man he left me but he wouldn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try, yeah yeah

Rivers, rivers to cross
Yeah yeah
Rivers to cross

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Show the world how to get along
And peace we'll enter when hate is gone
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

And I wake up and ponder the world's trouble
And my answer is always the same
Now let's put an end to this damn all of sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
Just because I am in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

And I wake up and ponder the world's trouble
And my answer is always the same
Now let's put an end to this damn all of sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
Just because I am in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

But if it is not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Gather round me buddies
Hold your glasses high
And drink to a fool
A crazy fool
Who told his baby, goodbye

Too late he found out he loves her
So much he wants to die
But drink to a fool
A crazy fool
Who told his baby, goodbye

He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders why he let her go-oo, o-oo, oooo

She's found a new love, buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to the fool
'Cause I'm that fool
Who told his baby, goodbye

He needs her, he needs her so
He wonders why he let her go-oo, o-oo, oooo

She's found a new love, buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to the fool
'Cause I'm that fool
I told my baby, goodbye
I told my baby, goodbye

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time that he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I've got one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain
