| Life On Earth (Jack Bruce) There's got to be a way of gettin out this place we find we're in There's got to be a way of getting out this bloody mess we're in Take my wife -- please She's down on her blistered knees She's dreamin' of a house called Heart's Ease Why don't you seas come down And take back what you spawned anyway There's got to be a time when we can get together natur'ly There's got to be a time when we can all be brothers and be free There's got to be a day when there is enough love for you and me We're gonna take the world and shake the world and what will be is gonna be Take my life now Time is tight now Touch the sky now Children of the rainbow Livin' in a house called Heart's Ease Why don't you seas come down And take back what you spawned anyway Take my heart now Feed us kids now Touch the sky now Children of the rainbow Children of tomorrow Children of tomorrow Livin' in a house called Heart's Ease Why don't you seas come down And take back what you spawned anyway Make Love (Pete Brown) See a flame in a town full of strangers See a plane falling out of the blue Every day when I'm chasing the dangers I want to make love to you See a fir in a street full of sadness See a kid in the snow with no shoes Every day when I'm chasing the madness I want to make love to you I just want to make love to you I have to keep the picture everywhere I go I keep it to myself so no one else will know The world is crazy only thing I want to do I want to make love to you I have to keep the moment running through my head I seem to feel your arms around me in the bed The world is crazy only thing I want to do I just want to make love to you (I can't stand being without you, baby 'Cos you're the one that's got the feeling for me) The people are reachin' for power I see the soldiers erasin' what's true (yes I do) Every day when I'm chain' the hours I want to make love to you I want to make love No Surrender! (Pete Brown) Chorus I: No Surrender! You've got to stand alone Until temptation has gone Everybody's talkin' 'bout walkin' tall But from this moment on You've got to answer the call No Surrender! Steal all my bread Til my pocket's dead I don't hear a word you say Suck on my soul Til you've reached your goal I'll never give myself away No -- I'll never give myself away Demolish my house I'll scream and shout But I won't do a thing you ask Kick down my door Or start a war I'm never gonna let you pass No -- I'm never gonna let you pass Chorus II: No Surrender! You've got to be a man You have to make your last stand Everybody's crying and trying to run Hold fast and let them pass The battle's hardly begun No Surrender! Shoot down my kite Take king-sized bites Of the apples I know and love Groove on my lot Rip up my roots I'll never let you get above No -- I'll never let you get above Dump on my lawn And poison my corn Drag my name all over town Call up your guns Everybody run I'm still gonna cut you down Yes -- I'm still gonna cut you down Chorus III: No Surrender! You cannot be afraid Of mistakes that you made Everybody's running for shelter You know your destiny You have to make the parade No Surrender! Steal all my bread Til my pocket's dead I don't hear a word you say Suck on my soul I've reached my goal I'll never give myself away No -- I'll never give myself away Flying (Pete Brown and Jack Bruce) There's a sky somewhere far away Where the fallen angels play I can feel their music round me Sounds like they're free You can see them burning out in the night Turning shadows into light There are times they seem to touch me Rush me through air Where they;re flying Can you tell me, can you explain Why I'm on the road again Chasing multicolored rainbows Solo Well it's hard to explain Flying so high Everybody says, you've got it now, come on raise up some new romance And you can bet I'll try to stay around Where the fires dance And you're flying so high Can you take me somewhere, out of the blue Just to spend a year or two Finding where the precious time goes Who knows Flying so high Everybody says right now, come on, raise up some new romance And you can bet I'll try to stay around Where the fires dance And you're flying so high Everybody says you've got it now, come on, raise up some new romance And you can bet I'll do my best to stick around Where the fires dance Flying so high I'm gonna tell it like tomorrow Play it like the past Mix up joy and sorrow So the echoes last . . . Hey Now Princess (Pete Brown) Look now princess I'm not here just for you So take off in your BMW I've got important things to do Look here princess I gave you everything But now I want it all back So I can start some living Princess, look now I want to be famous and rich So I can be empty and bitter like you Princess look now I've got fifteen women called Sue Twenty women called Jane, And I'm sad . . . Look here princess I'm singin' this sad song About a man in a kennel Who cries all day long Look here princess Don't shut me out for good But keep me in your mind for later Like I always knew you would Look here princess I'm in a desert now I don't see no way out You've got to show me how Princess look now I've got fifteen women called Sue Twenty women called Jane, And I'm sad . . . Look here princess I didn't mean to sneer But your runnin' 'round havin' plenty fun While I'm sitting alone with my fear Princess, look now I want my time again You know it all went bad And I missed the last train Look here princess It's got to be better than this 'Cos I'm in prison and hell right now And I've worn out both my wrists Look here princess I've got fifteen women called Sue Twenty women called Jane, And I'm sad . . . |
Blues You Can't Lose (Willie Dixon) Some they march while some stand still Some they die while others live Some they laugh while some they cry Some hang on while some pass by Some are high and some are low Some are sure and some don't know Some are weak and some are strong Some are here and some are gone CHORUS: With all these things In a poor man's mind He gotta have the blues He can't leave behind (Repeat chorus) Obsession (Pete Brown and Jack Bruce) |
