1.B.s.u.r.
She's been holding on too long
Hoping i'm gonna change
Giving it up just a little bit more
Each time i come home
Looking and acting strange
Putting her down for putting up with me
(chorus)
Be as you are
As you see as i am i am
Be as you are
As you see as i am i am
Do you think you might improve me
Trying to take control
Watching every little thing i do
Just like a bleeding movie
Just like a leading role
Mama, this ain't me and i don't
Believe that's you
- chorus -
First you make believe
I believe the things
That you make believe
And i'm bound to let you down
Then it's i who have been deceiving
Purposely misleading
And all along you believed in me
So we circle around one another
Playing i guessing game
Strangers at this masquerade
Pretending to know each other
We strain to catch a name
And never see the mistakes we must have made
- chorus -
2.Brother Trucker
Breaker number nine big buddy
Put your ears on me now
This trucker got to have a big lie tonight
Come on sucker
Come back brother trucker
I keep seeing double
Unless i close one eye
And i've got to roll, roll, roll brother trucker
Sure enough a shame 'bout the shape i'm in
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
I'm back on my wheels again
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
Someone to love the truck driving man
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
I'm back on my wheels again
I'm a driving fool
I make my own rules
One part man and one part mule
One part fossil fuel
I got the heart of steel
I pull eighteen wheels
Mister nine to five in his coup de ville
No, never know how it feels
To really roll, roll, roll brother trucker
Holding my own just the best as i can
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
I'm back on my wheels again
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
Outward bound from south bend
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
I'm back on my wheels again
Moon over new jersey
Big state police
Well, i'm in a hurry
Could you let me go in peace
I'm an independent
I don't make no teamster dough
'cause the a.f.l. and the c.i.o.
Still don't own the road
And the only man telling me where to go
Is the man who owns my load
And he says roll, roll, roll brother trucker
I say where and you say when
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
Get back on your wheels again
Turn the goddamn thing around and do it again
Roll, roll, roll brother trucker
I'm back on my wheels again
Fat bucket, i'm back on my wheels again
3.Cahnson, Francaise
J'ai trouv？cette chanson française
Mise dans un coin
Tout au fond de mon crane
Pas encore exprim
Et donc je manque des ids anglaises
Paraître, peut-re, quelque chose
Je n'ai pas pens？Si je dis que je t'aime
Ce n'est pas tout ？fait
La vielle me chose
Car les mots que je dis
Ne viennent pas du meme esprit
Et me voici, baby
étranger nouveau
J'essaye et j'essaye mais je sais
Que je n'ai pas assez de française
Mais qu'est ce qu'on peut dire
Il faut finir
Suffisant ？dire
Je ne vais jamais rire
Encore une chanson française
Au revoir mes ami
Je vous aime beaucoup
4.Company Man
It seems you've been living on your own
Lonely and free
Looking to make yourself known
Same as me
Well i see you in the public eyes
I see you're looking fine
The boy would be a businessman
And he signs the bottom line
(chorus)
Singing company man, do what you can with my name
Rock'n'roll, man here i am
I'm stacking my claim to fame
He's got the smiling face of a friend
Still you're not quite certain you know him
The smile turns into a grin
What do you owe him
You know you owe him
So if there's something you do well
Something you're proud of
Better to save some for yourself
If that's allowed
The crowd will never know you
You'll hardly know yourself
They'll turn you 'round and blow you up
'til you think you're someone else
- chorus -
He can turn your time to gold
You better make as much as you can my friend
'cause his money will turn you old
And they need a young man
The job takes a young man
5.Day Tripper
I've got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
I got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so
So long to find out but i found out
Now she's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
It was a day tripper
Sunday driver now
It took me so
So long but you know i found out
You can try to please her
She only plays one night stands
You can try just to please her
She only plays one night stands
She was a day tripper
One way baggage, yeah
It took me so
So long, well you know that i found out
(when i found out, when found out)
I got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Yes, i got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
She was a day tripper
One way driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out
But i found out
Well, i got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Yes, i got a good reason
Girl, for taking the easy way out
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so
So long to find out but i found out
6.Is That The Way You Look？
(excuse me？ excuse me, yes？)
Is that the way you look？
Is that the way you look？
Is that the way you look？
Is that really the way that you look now？
Oh darling, darling
Is that the way you look？
Is that really your eyes？
Is that really your hair？
Is that really the way you walk on by？
Are those the clothes you wear？
Oh darling, darling
Is that the way you look？
Woh baby, oh baby
Woh baby, baby, baby
I got the question for you
Woh baby, oh baby
Woh baby, baby, baby
Tell me now is it true？
Is that the way you look？
No, no i mean is that the way you really look？
Is that the way you look？
Is that the way you look？
Baby, maybe i'm dreaming
But i'll be bound
Whoever wakes me up
I'm going to knock him down
Oh darling, darling
Is that the way you look？
Well i rubbed my eyes
And i pinched my leg
And i asked my friend
And i shook my head
But baby, is that the way you look？
7.I Will Not Lie For You
I will not lie
I will not lie
I will not lie
I will not lie for you
Everytime i see you fooling around on him
I can't help but remember
That he calls me his friend
It's only right for me to tell you
When it's the wrong thing to do
It's only right that you should know
If he comes to me
I will not lie for you
No, i won't lie for you
It's hard enough to see him stumbling blind
I refuse to see him lose you and me at the same time
It's only right for me to tell you
When it's the wrong thing to do
It's only right that you should know
If he comes to me
I will not lie for you
No, won't lie for you
To come here as your friend and have you come on like my lover
Like to bring things to an end
Between myself and my brother
If it was any other man i would not interfere
But if you come on to me again
I don't see how to stand clear
It's only right for me to tell you
When it's the wrong thing to do
It's only right that you should know
If he asks me
I will not lie for you
Mama, i won't lie for you
If it was any other man i would not interfere
When you come on to me again
I don't see how to stand clear
It's only right for me to tell you
When it's the wrong thing to do
It's only right that you should know
If he asks me
I will not lie
I will not lie
I will not lie
I will not lie for you
No, i won't lie for you
Little girl, i won't lie for you
No, i won't lie to him for you
I will not lie for you
8.Johnnie Comes Back
All last week and half of today
Johnnie has been a good little girl
Trying to keep her devils at bay
Watching her health return
But she always comes back for more
Hanging her head and banging my door
Johnnie comes back again
(chorus)
I said, johnnie remember
Oh johnnie be good
'please give me some medicine man'
Oh johnnie comes back again
Where'd she get that tear in her eye
Whoever said she could leave me
Where'd she learn to say good-bye
She's been watching too much t.v.
She only shows up for meals
My medicine chest and my automobiles
Johnnie comes back again
- chorus -
Me i'm just an evil demon
I'm playing on her weakness
Counting on her sickness
To bring her home again
To use me up and to rob me blind
I guess it shouldn't surprise me
Fighting and flashing like a fish on a line
My god, she must despise me
But she always comes back again
Now it won't be long 'til she's gone again
Johnnie comes back again
- chorus -
9.Millworker
Now my grandfather was a sailor
He blew in off the water
My father was a farmer
And i, his only daughter
Took up with a no good millworking man
From massachusetts
Who dies from too much whiskey
And leaves me these three faces to feed
Millwork ain't easy
Millwork ain't hard
Millwork it ain't nothing
But an awful boring job
I'm waiting for a daydream
To take me through the morning
And put me in my coffee break
Where i can have a sandwich
And remember
Then it's me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
And the rest of my life
Now my mind begins to wander
To the days back on the farm
I can see my father smiling at me
Swinging on his arm
I can hear my granddad's stories
Of the storms out on lake eerie
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
And sailors' lives were lost
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted
And i have been the fool
To let this manufacturer
Use my body for a tool
I can ride home in the evening
Staring at my hands
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
Ought to stand a better chance
So may i work the mills just as long as i am able
And never meet the man whose name is on the label
It be me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
And the rest of the afternoon
Gone for the rest of my life
10.Rainy Day Man
What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend child
You've made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
Call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
He don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days rolling
Then you'll see him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts they just don't belong
You can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along
Just look up your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
Ask again
Go on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
All i need to do is look up my rainy day man
Now what good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
11.Sleep Come Free Me
Well, i've been lying in this dungeon
Since i was eighteen
Ten lonely years of my life taken
I've been living in the pages of a magazine
It breaks my heart to awaken
(chorus)
Set me free
Sleep come free me (please, please, please)
Set me free
Set me free
Now the state of alabama says i killed a man
The jury reached the same conclusion
I remember i was there
With a tire iron in my hand
The rest is all confusion
- chorus -
More like an animal and less like a man
What they leave you ain't worth keeping
Brother let me tell you
I got a clock with no hands
The only way out is through sleeping
- chorus -
You get to where you used to be
Whoever you claim
It's open to interpretation
Just remember your number
And abandon your name
And hold on to your name
And hold on to your imgination
Oh no no
- chorus -
12.Up On The Roof
up on the roof
Carole king (attributed to james taylor...)
When this old world starts a getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no
So when i come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street
On the roof, that's the only place i know
Look at the city, baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof
And at night the stars they put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
That's what i said
Keep on telling you
That right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
And if this old world starts a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof...
