Lyrics

Mama told me, when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely, to what I say
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day

Ohh take your time… Don’t live too fast
Troubles will come, and they will pass
Go find a woman and you’ll find love
And don’t forget son
There is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin you’ll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won’t you do this for me son
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this if you try
All that I want for you my son
Is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin you’ll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won’t you do this for me son
If you can?

Boy, don’t you worry… you’ll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this if you try
All I want for you my son
Is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh be somethin you’ll love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Won’t you do this for me son
If you can?

Lyrics

I’m like a shockwave coming through your door
I’m like a bullet at the speed of light
I go around taking people’s lives
While you sit around saying lies

And when I’m done you will be no more
Your life is through now mine begins
My days of agony are gone

I’m a shockwave and I don’t need anyone
I’ll follow my ways ’til the day I die
I’m a shockwave and I’ll take your fucking life
Don’t mess with me I’m a shockwave ready to kill

I am the one who feeds off your life
I’ll be right there when you’re ready to die
I am a killer but they’re all scared
When I rise no time is spared

I’m a shockwave and I don’t need anyone
I’ll follow my ways ’til the day I die
I’m a shockwave and I’ll take your fucking life
Don’t mess with me I’m a shockwave ready to kill

Shockwave


I’m a shockwave and I don’t need anyone
I’ll follow my ways ’til the day I die
I’m a shockwave and I’ll take your fucking life
Don’t mess with me I’m a shockwave ready to kill

I’m a shockwave and I don’t need anyone
I’ll follow my ways ’til the day I die
I’m a shockwave and I’ll take your fucking life
Don’t mess with me I’m a shockwave ready to kill

Lyrics

Truckin’ got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin’, like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin’ on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans
New York’s got the ways and means; but just won’t let you be, oh no

Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love
Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home
One of these days they know they better get goin’
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone

Truckin’, like the do-dah man. Once told me “You’ve got to play your hand”
Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay’em down

Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it’s been

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same
Livin’ on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine
All a friend can say is “Ain’t it a shame?”

Truckin’, up to Buffalo. Been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin’ on

Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window
Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again
I’d like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in

Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin’ pin
Knocked down, it get’s to wearin’ thin. They just won’t let you be, oh no

You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down
I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’
Get out of the door and light out and look all around

Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it’s been

Truckin’, I’m a goin’ home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin’ on
Hey now get back truckin’ home

Lyrics

In another time’s forgotten space
your eyes looked from your mother’s face,
wildflower seed on sand and stone
may the four winds blow you safely home.

Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew

I’ll tell you where the four winds dwell,
In Franklin’s tower there hangs a bell,
It can ring — turn night to day
It can ring like fire when you lose your way.

Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew

God save the child that rings that bell,
It may have one good ring, baby you can’t tell,
One watch by night, one watch by day
If you get confused listen to the music play

Some come to laugh their past away
Some come to make it just one more day;
Whichever way your pleasure tends
If you plant ice, you’re gonna harvest wind

Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew

In Franklin’s tower the four winds sleep,
Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep,
Wildflower seeds in the sand and wind
May the four winds blow you home again

Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
Roll away the dew, you better roll away the dew
Roll away the dew, you better roll away the dew –roll away!
Roll away the dew, you better roll away the dew –roll away!
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew –roll away!
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew

Lyrics

I pick things up, I am a collector
And things, well things, they tend to accumulate
I have this net, it drags behind me
It picks up feelings for me to feed upon

There are times, plenty of times
I wish I could let it go
But it’s time to breed
And it’s got to grow inside me

There are times, plenty of times
I wish I could let it go
But it’s time to make me think things
I don’t wanna know

I’m trying to fit it all inside
I’m trying to open my mouth wide
I’m trying not to choke
And swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all

I am the plague
I am the swarm
All your heart sticks on me
And I keep it warm

It’ll make me stay
It won’t let me leave
There are so goddamn many of them
It gets hard to breathe

I’m trying to fit it all inside
I’m trying to open my mouth wide
I’m trying not to choke inside
I am a good boy, and I will
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all
Swallow it all

Every last one

Lyrics

I’m not your baby girl
I’ve done ugly things
And I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they’re to be believed

So what if I’m no baby bird hanging upon your every word
Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me

You’re not some little boy
Why you acting so surprised?
You’re sick of all the rules
Well I’m sick of all your lies
Now I’ve held back a wealth of shit but
I think I’m gonna choke
I’m standing in the shadows
With the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise
When I tell you I don’t feel good
That nothing ever came from nothing, man
Oh, man, ain’t that the truth

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me

I get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it
Do it again

I think you’re sleeping with a friend of mine
I have no proof
But I think that I’m right

You still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad
Most of the time

I get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it again
Get back up and I do it
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
It’s driving me crazy

Why do you love me
Why do you love me

Why do you love me
Why do you love me

You wouldn’t want me have to hurt you too hurt you too?

You wanna know about atrocity?

I know you want what’s on my mind
I know you like what’s on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know you know you know

They said, “release Remote Control”
But we didn’t want it on the label
They said, “fly to Amsterdam”
The people laughed but the press went mad

Ohohoh, someone’s really smart
Ohohoh, complete control
Well, that’s a laugh

On the last tour my maties couldn’t get in
I’d open up the back door but they’d get run out again
At every hotel we was met with the law
Come for the party, come to make sure!

Ohohoh, have we done something wrong?
Ohohoh, complete control
Even over this song

You’re my guitar hero!

They said, we’d be artistically free
When we signed that bit of paper
They meant, let’s make a lot of money
Worry about it later

Ohohoh, I’ll never understand
Ohohoh, complete control
Let me see your other hand

I don’t judge you
Why do you judge me?
Huh?

All over news spread fast
They’re dirty, they’re filthy
They ain’t never gonna last

Total (this is Joe public speaking)

Lyrics

I get up at seven, yeah
And i go to work at nine
I got no time for livin’
Yes, i’m workin’ all the time

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than i think i am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man

They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what i am

I get home at five o’clock
And i take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wond’rin’
Why there’s nothin’ goin’ down here

It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than i think i am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man

They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what i am

Well they call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what i am

Lyrics

Today is gonna be the day
That they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would Like to say to you
But I don’t know how

Because maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You’re my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they’ll never throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you’re not to do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don’t know how

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one who saves me? And after all
You’re my wonderwall

I said maybe
You’re gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You’re my wonderwall

Said maybe
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
You’re gonna be the one that saves me
