ONE OF THESE DAYS
One of these days, boy
Gonna see my baby
Gonna see my baby
Coming down the road
She'll have my pardon
Pardon in her apron, oh, Lord
Gonna see the governor
who said release my man

She's coming down the road, boy
She's coming down the road
Red dress on, yeah
She's got her red dress on
She's coming down the road, boy
She's coming down the road
Her bags down low
She's got her bags down low

One of these days, boy
Gonna see my woman
She'll have my children
Children on her knee
I'll run up to my woman
And hold her in my arms
Tears in her eyes
She says I'm glad you're free


HERE THEY COME
Here they come, and they fly with the power of the sun
Here they come, and they're going to touch everyone
Far, far, have they come

Here they come, and the fire on their wings doesn't burn
Here they come, and they know everything we must learn
Round, round, we must turn

Watch out, you, sinners
Don't you know that your time has come?
Watch out, you, winners
Now it's the same for everyone

Here they come, and the stars in their eyes seem to glow
Here they come, and the fear in our hearts starts to go
Now, now, now we all know


I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


OVER THE HILL
I got water on the brain
My mind is like a drain
Here I go again
Over the hill

My eyes don't seem too clear
I'm not sure what I hear
It seems I'm going clear
Over the hill

Like a cripple and his crutch
I have leaned a bit too much
Seems that I should never touch again
Now it seems it's plain to see
That this stuff is killing me
Got to quit, so, I'll be free again

I got too much to lose
No one can fill my shoes
Think I'll leave the blues
Over the hill


BABY WON'T YOU LET ME ROCK'N ROLL YOU
Baby won't you let me rock'n roll you
Baby won't you let me, let me stroll you
Baby won't you let me rock'n roll you now

Baby won't you let me, let me shake you
Baby won't you let me, let me breke you
Baby won't you let me really take you now

Well, you remember baby, how it used to be
I used to rock'n roll you around my knee
Well, I tell you, honey, gonna be alright
Gonna rock'n roll you all through the night

Baby won't you let me, let me shake you
Baby won't you let me, let me breke you
Baby won't you let me really take you now

I tell you baby, gonna be alright
I'm gonna rock you all through the night
Well, you remember how it used to be
I used to rock'n roll you around my knee

Baby won't you let me sock it to you
Baby won't you let me sock it to you
Baby won't you let me rock'n roll you now


ONCE THERE WAS A TIME
Once there was a time I'd rob my mama
For a good meal and a smoke
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother
For a dollar when I was broke

But I'd never sell my guitar
And my strings were always sharp
'Cause if I don't have a guitar
I'll be strumming on some angels harp

And if I don't get to heaven
And I go down there below
Better be a guitar when I get there
Or, I will refuse to go

Once there was a time I was hungry
And I'd find my food in some bin
But I'd never, never sell my guitar
'Cause that would, darling, that would be a sin


LET THE SKY FALL
Let the sky fall
Let the sea sink
Let the earth shake
Let the sun blink
Let the universe
Go spinning free
If my darling
Ever leaves me

Let the air freeze
Let the moon cry
Let the stars go out
Let the world die
Let the eyes go blind
Let the grass turn blue
If I ever
Think of leaving you

Let our love be
With our minds free
Let our hearts beat
Let our eyes see
Let the universe
Share our love
Let me be
What you're thinking of


HARD MONKEYS
Got no monkey on my back
And I'm never gonna crack

'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues

Got no street car called Desire
And I'll never light the fire

'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues


I'VE BEEN THERE TOO
There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is crying, it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?

Your soul is aching, you can't see it through
But time is healing each day you do
Keep looking forward, forget the past
It's up to you now, don't let it last

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to liizumi335@kh.rim.or.jpve
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

You'll wake up one morning, you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'Cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep looking forward, the sun will come through

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give


UNCLE JAM
