Fake Those Blues

I ain’t ever have a point of view
I ain’t ever had to beg or choose
I ain’t had to fake those blues
I ain’t ever worn a hand-me-down
I ain’t ever worn a thorny crown
I ain’t had to wear the blues
Don’t be afraid
Of what you made
Because I never worry
Why should I?
I ain’t ever had a simple mind
I never lost something I couldn’t find
I never said I lived those blues
Don’t be afraid
Of what you made
Because I never worry
Why should I?
I ain’t ever have a point of view
I never owned a thing I couldn’t lose
I ain’t had to fake those blues

Loving Hand
02:50
|

|
I don’t need no dance floor
I don’t need no rock and roll
I don’t need no radio
I don’t want no picture show
You don’t have to understand
I don’t want to be your man
I just need a loving hand
You don’t have to understand
I don’t need to be your man
I just need a loving hand
I don’t want no twist and shout
We don’t have to work it out
Don’t give me no midnight hour
I don’t want no flower power
You don’t have to understand
I don’t have to be your man
I just need a loving hand

Nobody's Somebody
02:02
|

|
I was lost
I was a poor boy trying to make it on my own
I never thought that everything I’d known
Could make me feel so alone
I’m just a nobody somebody knows
When I was young
The old folks used to listen to the radio
But now it’s gone
They don’t have anyone who listens to their show
They’re just a nobody somebody knows
But you had to make it harder
You had to make it harder
You had to make it harder on me
I’m just a nobody somebody knows
Just a nobody somebody knows

Then You Took More
03:21
|
|||
|
You took the rock out of the roll
You took the north out of the pole
You took all summer while I was always waiting on you
You took my clothes
You took my home
You took my body but not my soul
I remember
You take the high, I take the low
You took my pain and left a hole
You cried all summer while I was always waiting on you
You took my clothes
You took my drawers
Just take my body but not my soul
I remember
You took it all, then you took more
You took the ground, you left the bones
You want the Beatles but not the Stones
You slept all summer while I was always waiting on you
You took my north
You took my cold
Just take my body but not my soul
I remember
You took my clothes
You took the door
You left my body on the floor
I remember
You took it all, then you took more
You took it all, then you took more
You took some more
Then you took more

I Know
03:20

You know you turn me like a wheel
Or is that just the way I feel?
I keep getting wrong
You’re always going on and on
Just give me one more chance
I can’t be the loner at the dance
Give me your fingers or your hand
I think you know just who I am
Here come the pain
I know, I know your name
Don’t give me no lip today
You know I’ll never change
But don’t give me up
You know I’ll always fill your cup
Here come the pain
Here come the…
I know, I know, I know it’s here again
Don’t give me up
Don’t give me up
Don’t give again

Before Everything
03:33
|
|||
|
When I was just a toothless boy
I felt no fear, I felt no joy
Just another holy son
Waiting on a ghost to come
You’re given names you can’t forget
You live with eyes you haven’t met
No colour turns the way you feel
When you’re always spinning on the wheel
When black eyed dog called out for me
I found him by the hanging tree
Carved into the holy pine
Was something that was always mine
So I’ll dig again and I’ll dig some more
‘Cause I know there’s a sacred chord
I heard it somewhere long before
I was ever here or born
So I gave them part of me
Before they took everything
Before they took everything
Before the hell
So I gave them part of everything

Jelly Roll
02:51
|
|||
|
There’s no more rock and roll
And I don’t know why
Everything that comes out is a lie
Like the heroes up there in the great big sky
Been trying this song
But it’s incomplete
Been struggling with the rhythm and the beat
But you’ve got to give them something to stomp their feet
There’s no more rock and roll
On my radio
There’s no more Jelly Roll
There’s no more rock and roll
And I don’t know why
If mercy has a need I’m her alibi
But there’s something in the way that you tell a lie
Im still trying to write this song
Wish I knew how
The words they don’t come easy until know
When everything I say is way too loud
There’s no more rock and roll
On my radio
There’s no more Jelly Roll
There’s no more rock and roll
There’s no more rock and roll
There’s no more rock and roll
And I don’t know why

King Of Anything
03:16
|
|||
|
You want to give me an explanation
Some kind of useless consolation
But all I wanna do
Is get back to you
You wanna lift my imagination
With your clever conversation
But all I wanna do
Is get back to you
It’s good to be king
King of anything
King of anything
You want me to give you an explanation
Some kind of useless conversation
But all I wanna do
Is get back to you
It’s good to be king
King of anything
King of anything
King of anything

Beau Raté

|
It’s good to be king
Of anything
Take some heads, watch them roll
Talk of the town
The mumbled sounds
Behind their eyes there’s a hole
I’m a crooked house
No north, no south
The heart’s a lonely place
You’d give your name
For that fiery mane
The darkness knows no bounds
If I were king
I’d cut those strings
Free the boar and hunt the hounds
I’m a crooked house
No north, no south
My heart’s a lonely place

How It Ends
03:46
|
|||
|
In my room again
I never want to leave it
But it’s me or them
I never could pretend
I just wanted something
I could understand
This is how it ends
Stuck in the blues again
If I’m born again
Will I still remember
Or would I be free of sin?
You’ve got a loving hand
But there’s something about you
I’ll never understand
This is how it ends
Sunk in the blues again
I don’t wanna feel this tired
I don’t wanna be a liar, oh no
I never needed no one
But was I just missing out on all the fun?
This is how it ends
Soaked in the blues again
This is how it ends
Damned to the blues again
If this is how it ends
I’m stuck in the blues again
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
Stuck in the blues again

Someday
01:42
|

|
Let the good times roll
The bad times go
The pain will wash away
And we’ll always have the memory of those days
You’ll always be a friend to me
Even when time gets in our way
And we’ll always keep the memories that we made
Can’t you see, it had to be
We’ve changed
Is this a dream, a fool’s dream
We’re playing?
I told you before
And I swore
That we would never be afraid
Because we’ll always hold the memory
Of our golden age
