William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin'
And the cops were brought in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder
Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears
William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years Owns a tobacco farm, six hundred acres With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him And high office relations in the politics of Maryland
Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking
Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears
Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage And never sat once at the head of the table
And didn't even talk to the people at the table Who just cleaned up all the food from the table And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
That sailed through the air and came down through the room Doomed and determined to destroy all these gentle And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger
Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears
In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled
Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom Stared at the person who killed for no reason Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'
And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence
Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Bury the rag deep in your face Now's the time for your tears
I thought i could live forever here on my own It seemed things were so much better out here alone A lonely dreamer, a nonbeliever, now I'm living in the moment with the friends i love I knew i could feel more power living life without love So i spent my days and hours looking for heaven above The only thing that i found was my feet on the ground, so I'm living in the moment with the friends i love Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it, you don't mean it Some say we'll all be rewarded when we reach the end And all our lives will be recorded and replayed again One day it hit me, this ain't a movie, now I'm living in the moment with the friends i love
Oh, my heart is a thoroughbred I can't sleep in my bed Everything is burning up inside me I need something i can feel Cigarettes and a driving wheel and Oh, my god, when you cross your legs beside me I know true love don't love like anybody else I know your heart don't beat like anybody else When it all comes down to kerosene And sorry signs on cash machines And it don't look like anything you've dreamed of I won't let you give it up With sorry sighs and forced bad luck Come on baby, you know what we're made of I know true love don't love like anybody else I know your heart don't beat like anybody else And all these burning battlefields are now behind us Life has brought us here together to remind us That love will rise above it all and just keep growing Life keeps flowing, and every moment starts right here with us I know true love don't love like anybody else I know your heart don't beat like anybody else
New york city, you're so pretty All your faces, going places And i believe if you fall in love I believe if you fall in love You should jump right in Always going, faster modem Cell phone fables, candle-lit tables I believe if you fall in love Yes, i believe if you fall in love You should jump right in I wrote our initials in the sidewalk cement Tattooed your name across my arm for all to see I wanna sing about it, sing about it, sing about it I've got your back from now on baby, you can count on me Only one life, kisses all night Kids round fountains, concrete mountains And i believe if you fall in love I believe if you fall in love You should jump right in
My galveston girl I hold you like a child And kiss away your tears My sweet dewey dell You've always been my girl You have nothing to fear Twisted like flower stems We fall asleep till morning comes again I'll always love you I'll never let you down You have nothing to fear My sweet dewey dell Whatever you have done They'll never find you here
Sitting on a bench in an old time station Waiting for a train to forgiveness I've brought no baggage, i've come here alone Looking for a way to forgiveness All these broken pieces of arrows in my side I thought i could run with them, i know now i can't hide, so I'm looking out upon the darkness down the tracks Looking for the light of forgiveness Call it bad company, call it what you will My heart just won't let you go, i care for you even still Sadness and death, they both come along So i sing this song called forgiveness All these broken families, people taking sides Hardly even bothered me, i never even cried, so I'm crying on a bench in an old time station Betting all i've got on forgiveness
Through our love there runs a century spring What we've got is all we'll ever need And i will love you like wind blows through the trees And sing about how good it feels to love you, amy Who we are is who we've always been Through our love we've learned to live again And i will love you, my dear, you've set me free I promise you a love para siempre, amy
This is a bullet from a gun called "what the fuck?" If i was standing in your shoes i'd throw my hands straight up And start explaining at the speed of light, not sound How the words get some coffee came to mean get down And all the kings horses and all the kings yen Couldn't stop the abracadabra that invites these men And all the alleyways in amsterdam could not compete Against the wall street speed with which you leave your feet Oh yes, this song is a joke Funny like our house going up in smoke Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips Everytime the phone rings you get there first And when the pizza man comes you always run for your purse Now i'm the son of a banker, i know just what the deal is If you wrote it out in braille, i wouldn't even have to feel it Oh yes, this song is a joke Funny like our house going up in smoke Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips Funny how goodbye can sound so sad sometimes Today it sounds happy like a nursery rhyme And you're not cinderella, so don't forget your shoes I've never been as lonely as when i was with you Oh yes, this song is a scream Funny like our loving doused in gasoline Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips This is fireman mcneil from the hennepin line We got the call around ten, we couldn't get there in time There was a driveway leading to a hole in the ground I got the heebies bone deep and turned the truck straight around Oh yes, this song is a joke Funny like my fingers in your bicycle spokes Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips
I followed you to killer's creek on motorcycle The streets were fast and filled with flames Kids were screaming Talk to me, please i beg you I'm a wounded man All is lost if trust is broken Help me understand Promise me that you won't let me go Standing by the empty creek, fish are flipping The air is hot and filled with sun My head is swimming Talk to me please i beg you I'm a wounded man All is lost if trust is broken Help me understand Promise me that you won't let me go If you fail me please don't fail me now Trapped beneath twisted steel My legs are broken I look at you, i'm waiting for Your eyes to open Talk to me please i beg you I'm a wounded man All is lost if trust is broken Help me understand Promise me that you won't let me go
I'm just a student of this life, just like my father. And I am a stranger to this heart, just like my mother.
Oh, and brother you should know, That this heart's still filled with sadness and regret. But I'm learning as I go To forgive the things that I just can't forget.
Sometimes this heart is made of glass And I often find myself Living only in the past Thinking mostly of myself. But I'll believe you when you say, That these are things that time can heal. And this beating in my heart Says this love we have is real.
And all of these wishes, I once lost, are now returning. And all of the demons, I have fought, are slowly turning.
Oh, and brother you should know That there is no one in this world who feels no pain. But I'm learning as I go To accept the things that I've no power to change.
All of these streets are heading out And this old song's no longer blue, And although nothing's figured out It looks like we've both made it through. If there were one thing I could ask, I would ask you where you've been. 'Cause I still wonder where you were, When this whole big ship sank in.
Looking down from the apple tree My hands tied in back of me With this rope below my chin We don't fear death my adrian Trust me son that one day soon You'll be on the bottom where the boat breaks through To let our freedom in again We don't fear death my adrian From now on i am part of you I am the story that you'll tell Let my life empower you Let my troubles teach you well Let your burning hatred go Learn yourself until you know That fear is where all hatred begins We don't fear death my adrian From now on i am part of you I am the story that you'll tell Let my life empower you Let my troubles teach you well As they set my last breath free Turn your eyes but don't fail to see The love you feel inside your skin We don't fear death my adrian We don't fear death my adrian
If this house is on fire You gonna run for the door If the door is on fire You gonna kneel on the floor You get down low enough You learn to love the flame
I've been loving you forever But I never knew your name I've been loving you forever but I
We fell in love in the woods In the Hollywood hills In the death of a friend In the bottles and pills Through war and at peace I've loved you the same
I've been loving you forever But I never knew your name I've been loving you forever but I
Put the ghost in my sail Put the spin in my wheel Roll me up in your heart Aw, make it seem real I'm clay in your hands I'm the ball in your game
I've been loving you forever But I never knew your name I've been loving you forever But I never knew your name I've been love you forever but I
Oh Jesus, I love You And I love Buddha too Ramakrishna, Guru Dev Tao Te Ching and Mohammed
Why do some people say That there is just one way To love You, God, and come to You? We are all a part of You

Spinning your umbrella over your head You should be in bed but you're here instead Walking with me towards a midnight swim I can give you, baby, what you can't get from him
Songbird's singing in an old dead tree The way you drive honey scares the hell out of me A hundred miles an hour on a brand new road Look at me again, you'll make my heart explode
Hey, hey, little fighter girl It's you and me up against this whole wide world Sleeping together in the lion's den Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again
Clouds roll by, laying up on the hill Everything is still, do you think we will? If we do, there'll be no turning back If we don't, well, there is no chance of that
Hey, hey, little fighter girl It's you and me up against this whole wide world Sleeping together in the lion's den Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again
Come on, kiss me Keep on kissin' me Come on, kiss me Keep on kissin' me
Cars in the distance, a bicycle bell Dogs are barking as the kingdom fell In its place stood a golden town Where people walk without touching the ground
Hey, hey, little fighter girl It's you and me now against this whole wide world Sleeping together in the lion's den Baby, I can't sleep at all until I see you again
Goodness me, yes, I'd agree I was the one who ended up our history Well, it looks like you wrote the last page to me Your friends say you've got a new man
Girl, that's so not cool in so many ways These were supposed to be my carefree single days Instead I'm punching walls and coming up with ways Ways to win you back from your new man
Woah, woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah, woah
Right now, he's a probably moaning your name The thought of it is driving me insane Got to get religion just to ease the pain Thinking about you loving your new man
Well, did you get the literature I left in your bed? Told ya keep it frozen, it caught fire instead Have you not heard a single word I've said? No, you were busy loving your new man
Goodness garage, his name is probably Rog He probably drives a truck and his hands are probably big I bet he fixes things around your place when they break If he says he likes your cooking he's a fake
Girl, please say, he doesn't tuck his shirts in, please Please say, he doesn't wear a gold chain, please Things were going great, I even went on a date Then I found out about your new man
Woah, woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah, woah
Right now, he's a probably moaning your name The thought of it is driving me insane Got to get religion just to ease the pain Thinking about you loving your new man
Well, did you get the literature I left in your bed? Told ya keep it frozen, it caught fire instead Have you not heard a single word I've said? No, you were busy loving your new man Aw, come on
Holly around the tree that kiss was meant for me Trust me he'll get way too drunk at your Christmas party Your friends will laugh at first but as the night gets worst Collectively they'll run off your new man
And who'll be standing there looking like Fred Astaire Me, and I'll be singing Where, oh, where have you been all fall? While I was having a ball, certainly not with your new man
Woah, woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah, woah
Right now, his a probably crying your name The thought of it is driving him insane Got to find another just to ease the pain Thinking about you loving your new man
Well, did you get the messages he left on your phone? Told you that he's sorry and to please, come home Maybe you'd of answered but were you alone? No, you were busy loving your new man, right
You were busy loving your new man, me You were busy loving your new man, that's right
I'm going back to New Orleans Ain't turning my back on this world of tears With a head that's heavy and a heart that's sore Gonna swing my hammer, gonna stop this war
Dying babies in the sand Hanging kings in ancient lands God on God, blood to bone Oh baby, baby, this world is not my home Oh, oh
How deep is that river? How deep is that river? I don't wanna know where it's coming from I don't need to know where it's going to Before I place my trust in You I just wanna know, how deep?
God said to me what He said to the tree Grow up towards the light and one day you'll see My son Jesus, what did He say? Love the Lord, your God and God will show you the way Do unto others like you wanna be done Look deep in your heart and know that we are one
Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river? I don't wanna know how fast it flows I don't need to know if it's safe to swim Before I put my trust in Him I just wanna know, how deep?
God came down in the cool of the day Stirred up the waters and began to play Before He knew it, man was on the land With a thought in his head, and a gun in his hand God saw that man was just a little too rough So He gave him a heart and filled it up with love
Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river? Yes I don't wanna know if it has a name I don't need to know how to cross it yet Before I get my spirit wet I just wanna know, how deep, alright
A few years back I lost my way I was deep in the woods, I began to pray I came to a river and I sat on its bank It was cool and clear, I have Jesus to thank I drank that water, yes, I drank it up Now every day I come back and fill my cup
Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river?Yes I don't wanna know if it's yours or mine I don't need to know if it's east or west Before I put my fears to rest I just wanna know how deep
How deep is that river? How deep is that river? Yes I don't wanna know where it's coming from I don't need to know where it's going to Before I place my trust in you I just wanna know how deep
I just wanna know how deep I just wanna know how deep
올 해 27살의 메이슨 제닝스(Mason Jennings)는 슬픔이나 우울을 자극하지 않은 상태로도 섬세하게 여러 감정들을 다스리고 노래할 줄 아는 능력을 가지고 있다. 그에 대한 참조목록으로 이야기되는 밥 딜런, 루 리드, 닉 드레이크와 같은 싱어 송 라이터와 그가 합일되는 지점은 슬픔이 아닌 사랑, 평등, 믿음과 같은 기본적인 것들에 대한 이상(理想)에 있다. 사람들이 현재 인디 씬에서 어쿠스틱 사운드로 노래하는 싱어 송 라이터 중에 그를 주목하고 있는 것은 이런 우울 없는(no depression)가사가 주는 진솔함과 훈훈함에 있다.이미 십대 이전에 부모의 밴드에서 연주를 시작했고 13살 때부턴 자기 곡을 쓰기 시작한 메이슨 제닝스는 그로부터 십 년 후에야 자신의 첫 음반을 갖게 된다. 자신의 목소리와...
