Clint Mansell

Ace Of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades


Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades


You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!


Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

You are my angel

Come from way above
To bring me love

Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight
To love you love you love you
love you love you love you
love you love you love you
love you love you love you
love you love you love you
love you love you love you
love you love you love you

You are my angel

Come from way above

(A Quote from the movie "Pi" is used at the end of the song.)
The Rise and fall of caribou populations.

Huh!
Down on the street
Where the faces shine.
Floatin' around I'm
A real low mind.
See a pretty thing - ain't no wall.
See a pretty thing - ain't no wall.
No wall,
No wall,
No wall.
Uuh!
Yeah deep in the night
I'm lost in love.
Yeah deep in the night
I'm lost in love.
A thousand lights
Look at you.
A thousand lights
Look at you.
I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost - yeah.
Huh
Faces shine - real low mind.
Real low mind.
I'm a real low mind.
Real low mind

I'm On Fire
Dwight Twilley Band
(written by Dwight Twilley)

[1975 #16]

Got your lady on the line
Got your name on the cover
Though your friends are ninety-nine
Honey you ain't got no lover
And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover
And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no other

I remember the feelin' that I could be free-ee-ee
Now I know it could never ever be mee-ee-ee
'Cause I'm on fire
Got myself on fire ?awhh!

Got your joker on the table
You've been told from time to time
I'll be willin', I'll be able
You could read between the lines

But you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover
And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no other

I remember the feelin' that I could be free-ee-ee
Now I know it could never ever be mee-ee-ee
'Cause I'm on fire
I'm-a I'm on fire

But you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover, lover
And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no other, other, other, other
And you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover

I'm on fire
I'm on fire (and you ain't, you ain't, you ain't got no lover, lover, lover)
I'm on fire (lover, lover, lover, lover)
I'm on fire (lover, lover, lover)

Behold our beloved revels in tragedy(in tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite

Those who run will be burned

Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to flies
This seems to suit you better bleeding out the eyes
(bleeding out the eyes)
hope's left in chain suspension,
Holding onto lies to make the truth

Behold our beloved revels in tragedy(in tragedy)

hope's left in chain suspension,
Holding onto lies to make the truth

I like to dream
Yes, yes right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride?
Well you don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me?, fantasy will set you free.

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I could stay.
Before the thing could answer me well someone took, Took the lamp away
I looked around a lousy can was all I found.

Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the Sound take you away

Did you see any action? Did you make any friends?
Would you like some affection? Before I leave again.

I've been walking behind you, since you've been able to see.
There's never been any reason, for you to think about me.

Did you have any bad dreams, did you break any glass?
Would you be my companion, is there even a chance?

You've been talking in circles, since I've been able to cry.

There's never been any reason, for ever telling me why, yea, yea.

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Woman with the sweet lov'in, better than a white line.
Bring a good feeling ain't had in such a long time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.

Have you ever been lonely? Do you have any fun?
Do you ever think of me? I'm just no one. Yea.
You never give me no answer, you never tell me the truth.
There's never been any reason. For me to think about you.
There's never been any reason.
There's never been any reason. Yea.
There's never been any reason.

Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Woman with the sweet lov'in, better than a white line.
Don't you know she could bring a good feeling ain't had in such a long time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Whoa.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.
Save my life, I'm going down for the last time.

Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the road again
I'm on the road again
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend

You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow -
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll
Not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young -
When I was quite young
She said "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."

Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more -
Don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the road I'm going

But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else

Yeah... ohhh... (3x)

[Bilal - Chorus]
Ohhh...
Everything's gone be alright
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright...

[Common - Verse 1]
It's do or die, your looking through the eye of a revolver
I revolve around the world, a problem solver
Alter your ego, and the way your walkin'
Talk to people, still I stay regal
Read through the bullshit
Sometime to make peace, you need a full clip
Roll dice with niggas who got bricks at a good price
Talk shit, give good advice, rollin' through the 'hood right
It's the good life, like T.I. said
Gettin' it, how could I not be fed
Get bread, get dough, get fed, get mo'
In the old school Lincoln, thinking I sit low
Let problems burn slow away
I yearn for the day that it won't go gray
Remember we were kings, back in the day
Still can be, depending on the cards you play

[Bilal - Chorus 1 (repeat 2x)]
If you play (if you play), your cards right (cards right)
Everything... gone be alright (well... alright (3x))

[Common - Verse 2]
I ain't playin' with a full deck
The government won't let me get a full check
I'm taxin' marks, I got more heart than clubs
The black spade, givin' 'em darker love
Make 'em strip, like poker poker mag in his face
You tried to smoke my ace, you know the stakes
It's high like the ace is
Get your squad face down like cards, before they get a facelift
You get robbed, better yet jacked for diamonds
Leave you victimless, like Jack in "Shining"
Blocked your bluff, now your respect is stolen
Took your chips, led my guys in Texas Hold 'Em
Rolled the strips of Vegas, with money boss players
Stacey Adams of different flavors, we major
Gangstas and hustles, living moviestar life
Dealt a bad hand, but I played my cards right

[Bilal - Chorus 1 (repeat 2x)]
If you play (if you play), your cards right (cards right)
Everything... gone be alright (well... alright (3x))

[Bilal - Chorus 2 (repeat 2x)]
Ohh...
If you play (if you play), your cards right (cards right)
Everything's... gone be alright (well... alright (3x))

[Bilal - Accapella]
Yeah... Ohhh...

Everything's gone be alright, if you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright...

I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing but I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip but I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place and I'm wondering what it's good for
I been the right place but it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a bad place but I'm having such a good time

I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a good talking-to this time
Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity

I been in the wrong place but it must have been the right time
I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein but it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Slipping dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every ho' I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing but I must have used the wrong line
I'd have took the right road but I must have took a wrong turn
Would've made the right move but I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road but I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place and I wonder what it's bad for

In the mornin dont say you love me,
cause Ill only kick you out of the door
I know your name is rita cause your perfumes smellin sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor.

Wont need to much pursuadin
I dont mean to sound degradin,
But with a face like that you got nothin to laugh about.
Red lips, hair and fingernails,
I hear youre a mean old jezebel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards

Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight youd better stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight youd better stay with me

So, in the mornin, please dont say you love me
cause you know Ill only kick you out the door
Yeah, Ill pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne,
Just dont be here in the mornin when I wake up

Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight youd gonna stay with me
Sit down, get up, get out.

Big wheels keep on turning,
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland.
I miss ole bamy once again and I think it's a sin.
Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow.

* Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue.
Sweet home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you.

In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor.
Now we all did what we could do.
Now Watergate does not bother me.
Does your conscience bother you, tell the truth.

Repeat *

(Solo)

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they ve been known to pick a song or two.
Lord, they get me off so much,
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue, now how about you.

Repeat *(twice)

Well they say time loves a hero
but only time will tell
If he's real, he's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he was sent here from hell

Hear me well
Seein' ain't always believin'
Just make sure it's the truth that you're seein'
Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie
They can be real deceivin'

I got an Uncle in Puerto Rico
Spends his days in the sun
his nights in the casinos
He left the States many years ago
Took a fishin' boat to Puerto Rico
Now my aunt, she is sad and lonely
She'll never know that she drove him away
As a coward I admire his courageous ways

Well they say time loves a hero
but only time will tell
If he's real, he's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he was sent here from hell

Some say my uncle, that he's a zero
His life is as a shell, he left it back at Stateside
I'd say he's doin' pretty well, without his shell
Bumming 'round the beaches of Puerto Rico

The beauty of the sunrise and sunset
To his friends he wish he could tell
They're at home still runnin' for bells
Better San Juan than that blue collar hell

Well they say time loves a hero
but only time will tell
If he's real, he's a legend from heaven
If he ain't he was sent here from hell
