There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

JUST ENOUGH TO KEEP ME HANGIN' ON
WRITERS IRA ALLEN, BUDDY MIZE

It's true, you got me wrapped around your finger
Ah honey, it seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me, thrill me and control me
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah honey, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
My heart is like a yo-yo string
I'm tied to you, I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps on growing
Cause your love keeps right on showing
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Oh baby, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
A love as true as mine will make you do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming all those silly dreams
Ah honey, you got me, you got me where you want me
And you keep me stringing along
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah baby, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah honey, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Oh tell me why, just enough

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

(Bob Dylan)

Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

I should have left this town this morning
But it was more than I could do.
Oh, your love comes on so strong
And I've waited all day long
For tonight when I'll be staying here with you.

Is it really any wonder
The love that a stranger might receive.
You cast your spell and I went under,
I find it so difficult to leave.

I can hear that whistle blowin',
I see that stationmaster, too,
If there's a poor boy on the street,
Then let him have my seat
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

Throw my ticket out the window,
Throw my suitcase out there, too,
Throw my troubles out the door,
I don't need them any more
'Cause tonight I'll be staying here with you.

. . .


I once held him in my arms
He said he would always stay
But I was cruel
I treated him like a fool
Don't you know I threw it all away

Once I had mountains
In the palm of my hand
And rivers that ran through everyday
I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away
Until I threw it all away

Love is all there is
It makes the world go around
Love and only love
It can't be deny
No matter what you think about it
You can't do without it
Take a tip from one who's tried

So if you find someone
Gives you all his love
Take it to your heart
Don't let it stray
Ah one thing's for certain
You're surely gonna be hurtin'
If you throw it all away
If you throw it all away

I WALK ON GUILDED SPLINTERS
WRITERS MALCOLM JOHN REBBENNACK JR aka DOCTOR JOHN

Some people think they jive me, but I know they must be crazy
They can't see their misfortune, or else they're just too lazy
Je suie le grand zombie
With my yellow chaffen of choisen
Ain't afraid of no tomcat and gonna fill my guts with poison
I walk through the fire
And I'll fly through the smoke
I wanna see my enemies
On the end of my rope
Walk on pins and needles
And I see what they can do
Walk on guilded splinters
With the King of the Zulu
[Chorus:]
Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Come to me, get it, come, come
Walk on guilded splinters
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
Till I burn up
When I roll out in my coffin
Drink poison in my chalice
Pride begins to fade
And you all feel my malice
I put gris-gris on your doorstep
So soon you be in the gutter
I'll make your heart melt like butter
I say I can make you stutter
[Chorus x3]

. . .


Lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Whatever colors you have in your mind
I gonna show them to you
And I'll make them shine
Lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed

Stay baby stay
Stay with your woman awhile
Till the break of day
Let me see you make me smile

Your clothes are dirty
But your hands are clean
And you're the best thing
That I ever seen
Stay baby stay
Stay with your woman awhile

Why wait any longer
For the world to begin
You can have your cake
And eat it too
Why wait any longer
For the one you love
When she standing in front of you
So stay baby stay
Stay across my big brass bed
Lay baby lay
Lay while the night is still ahead

I long to see you in the morning light
I want to reach for you in the night
So stay baby stay
Stay across my big brass bed
Lay baby lay
Lay while the night is still ahead
Ah lay baby lay
Lay across my big brass bed

PLEASE DON'T TELL ME
WRITERS CARROLL QUILLEN, GRADY SMITH

Ya shook the override
Why'd I get this far this time
A ton of more I mean
Ridin' hell and the mile this time I see

Drift machine ago
It's one you'll never know

An hour lates too soon
Surround the stop right through
A sound far too long
Explode, fail and see goin' to and I'm gone

Drift machine ago
It's one you'll never know

. . .


When I think about the good love you gave to me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Lord knows now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

When I think about a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby
Every road is a lonely street now
I cry like a baby
Lord knows now that I'm not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

Today we passed on the street
And you just walked on by
My heart just fell to my feet
And once again I began to cry

When I think about the good love you gave to me
I cry like a baby
Living without you is driving me crazy
I cry like a baby
Lord knows now that you're not a plaything
Not a toy or a puppet on a string

When I think about a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby
You left done a lot of running
I cry like a baby
When I think about a love so sweet now
I cry like a baby

. . .


Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong

[Chorus:]
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

They say it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

[Chorus]

If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man
If you want a do right all's day woman
You gotta be a do right all's night man

SAVE THE CHILDREN
WRITER EDDIE HINTON

Don't look over my shoulder, I'm trying to read.
Remember these intimate moments; don't forget my privacy.
We both have our orders and a trick up the sleeve.
There's no use pretending you're asleep...
The subject was roses: quine geology.
Deliberate notice you're taking of me.
Caution and danger are not family.
Don't try turning the tables on me!
Too long and too lonely...
For your eyes only, secretly.
Enjoy the paradox: you thinking I'm the fox.
Can't ya see you personally?
So many people know who you are
and they know you've been looking for your counterpart.
We're chasing an echo in sonic 3-D
and if I laugh without joking, make believe.
Too long and too lonely...
For your eyes only, totally.
I like what you're showing.
For your eyes only, secretly.
For your eyes only.
