Mr Big V-At Hard Rock Live[Singer] Lyrics
1.Alive And Kickin


2.Green-Tinted Sixties Mind

Did you ever notice how old movie from the sixties have sort of
a green tint
to them? Strange but true.

She just woke up, but she's still tired
Is that the telephone ringing?
The curtains can't hold back the light
That's reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
If it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart

You be lookin' groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind

She keeps some memories locked away
But they are always escaping
neclgect won't make them fade away
They're reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
Don't need fingers to be tearing it apart

Gotta face the day
There is no other way
To clear the fog inside your mind
Fill it up with dreams
But all that you can seem to find
A green-tinted sixties mind

Hangin' out with Janis
Movin' to Atlantis
Could've made it if you tried
What's the point of force
It's easy as a horse to ride
A green-tinted sixties mind

You be looking groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind
-U can't hide-


3.Where Do I Fit In?

Don't you color me by the way you paint your picture
I'm happy just the way I am
It's been soaked into my bones, a child under pressure
I'm a bastard of the master plan
I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in
Don't go sellin' me a dream you can't deliver
Like a dog in a cat suit, it's a poor disguise
Strange little angels a parade of saints and sinners
Greetings from the other side
I wanna live my life
I don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place

But where do I fit in
I was walking on glass from a thousand broken mirrors

Saw my reflection stare me down
I tried to run, I was going through the motions
I got my feet on solid ground
I wanna live my life
Don't wanna live a lie
I hear freedom ringin'
I wasn't the same as you baby
But take a walk in my shoes
I hear freedom ringin'
Everyone's got a place
But where do I fit in


4.Jane Doe

Can I explain it?

It's not not an easy thing to do

A cryptic fascination
Seems to get me through
A darkened stranger
Who left me full of doubt
She'd tell me that she loved me
Then the lights went out
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go
Jane Doe, she slipped away again
Does anybody know?
Jane Doe
Platonic whisper
That makes me want to shout
Then she always disappears
Like a lady from a Barcly House
Who is this woman
Someone that I invent
I follow all night long
Like a bloodhound on a secret
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go

Jane Doe, she slopped away without
a trace
I still don't know
Jane Doe
There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain
This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane
Jane Doe, what was her name
Where did she go

Jane Doe, slippped away again
Does anybody know?

Jane Doe
There's no fault, no blame
Love can twist the brain

This picture lost its frame
And John has lost his Jane


5.Goin' Where The Wind Blows

Someone said life is for the taking

Here I am with my hand out waiting for a ride
I've been living on my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here
And the world just passess by
Where are the signs to help me get out of this place

If I should stumble on my moment in time,

How will I know
If the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows
Here I sit halfway to somewhere
Thinking about what's in front of me and

what I left behind
On my own, supposed to be so easy
Is this what I've been after
Or have I lost my mind
Maybe this is my chance coming to take me away

If I should stumble on my moment in time,

How will I know
If the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows
Here I am walking naked through the world

Taking up space, society's child
Make room for me, make room for me,

make room for me
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows


6.Take A Walk

Equal Opportunity knocked
Twice too late to stay on top of it all
All for one, one for all.
Push me, pull me, way too far
One way or another someone's gotta take
The fall, you better look at yourself

When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
You made your last point baby
It's all I can take

Chorus:
Take a walk -
Take a long and lonely walk
You better think about it
Come back to a whole new start
Cause-I wash my hands
Of you and your plans to take over
Take a walk

A lover's crime and punishment
Is do this, do that and put your eyes
Back in your head
Let's play house instead
You complain about everything
You're not happy 'til the chain's
Wrapped 'round my leg
It's about time for a change

When you put your foot down baby
You stomped down on me
Too much is enough now, baby
It's all I can take, so!

Chorus:


7.Voodoo Kiss

Few people know that Eric lived in
New Orleans for 3 years as a crawdad-fisher-man and voodoo
doctor.

I've got the full moon fever
A black cat cut across my path
Put a little spell o me mademoiselle
I want somebody to love me back
I need somebody to love me bad

Dig deep in the mojo
Bad luck running through my veins
Cook up some bontemps medicine
To drive this curse away
To drive this curse away, yeah yeah, yeah

A touch of sweet and nasty
A blind man couldn't miss
A creole sister man you can't resist her
When she's soft against your lips-voodoo kiss
Kiss me on the lips
Can heaven be like this-voodoo kiss

Down by the river at midnight
You hear the rattle and roll of those chicken bones
A white haired woman and a one eyed Jack
Mix me up a batch of that love flambeaux
I want a batch of that love flambeaux

I gave her half my money
She wanted just a little more
If you pay the price then tonight's your night
You get what you pay for
you'll get what you pray for
Oh yeah I want a

Touch of sweet and nasty
A blind man couldn't miss
A creole sister man you can't resist her
When she's soft against your llips-voodoo kiss
Can heaven be like this-voodoo kiss

(Big Addlips) Fox'got that mojo workin'
Mr.Big easy!..
A hot blooded angel


8.The Chain

I hear their voices inside my head

There's no denying it's my private hell as
I lie in bed
I take a look around and see myself
In twenty years will I be them
I've taken all I can stand
Afraid of what kind of man I am
Does everything stay the same
Or will I break the chain
Secrets, emotions, and wounds concealed

Spirits are broken, the deepest scars that I'll never heal
They'll be back handed down from father to son
A closet full of skeletons
I've taken all I can stand
Afraid of what kind of man I am
Does everything stay the same
Or will I break the chain
I will get by

With a little understanding
'Cause it's my own life after all

I've taken all I can stand
Afraid of what kind of man I am
Does everything stay the same
Or will I break the chain


9.Wild World

La...la...la...la...la
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving

And if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
A lot of nice things turn bad out there

Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
(yeah...) oh baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of
What the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Coz I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice freinds out there
Just remember there's
A lot of bad and beware

La...la...la...la...la...baby I love you.


10.Take Cover

Words in my mouth

Someone told me to say

They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way
I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It doesn't have to be this hard

for an ordinary man
I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you
Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you
Understand


11.To Be With You

This one's really a blast to play. Eric's still shocked that the
rest of us dig this
song so much.

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's doone to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

CHORUS:(I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too)
Feel it too
(Waited on a line of greens and blues)
Waited on a line
(Just to be the next to be with you)

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

12.Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy(The Electric Drill Song)

This features Billy and Paul playing their guitars
with Makita cordless drills in harmony. Don't try this at home,
kids.

If you're a red hot fire cracker
I will light your fuse
If you cry like a little girl
I'll dry your baby blues
When you need a man of action
I'm ready to make my move
Like a shotgun shot, Johnny on the spot
There's nothing I can't do

Everything you're looking for
You can find in me
I'll be anything you want
Anyone you need
I'll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and
your little boy.

When your body needs salvation
I'll be your tender touch
I'll take all the love you give me
And give you twice as much
When we get undercover
And do the horizontal mile
I'm in the mood to answer to your call of the wild

Everything you're looking for
You can find in me
I'll be anything you want
Anyone you need
Everything you're looking for
Anything that you want and more
I'll be your daddy, you brother, your lover and
your little boy
