Mother Love Bone Album

I've been around the world and i wrote a million songs
it's all a bore to me
i've slept in the gutter and I've lied with the dogs
it never bothered me
the sheriff he come to with his little boys in blue
they been lookin' for me
but with my crystal sheen guitar i'm another ego star
so give it to me.......
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i look bad in shorts but most of us do
don't let that bother me
i'm the football who is who, I don't believe in smack
so don't you die on me
cause love is all good people need
and music sets the sick ones free
without love no one ever grows nothing ever sings...
this is shangrila
you have gathered for the feast
the bread is my body....the wine is blood
get me to the stage - it brings me home again
this is shangrila
i'm trippin on it now - it brings me home again

Ah, ah, ah.... oh yes.
San Francisco, where the flowers bloom in spring.
I said fade to winter and see what disease brings.
Augustino, with his eyes like a shinning sea.
I said he's half a shadow... god don't let that be me.

I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog Champion.

West Virginia, that where my father lies.
He was a war time hero,
The kind that money buys.
Diamond bracelet for my mommy's memory.
I said that's all she wrote for, that's all she wrote for me, yeah.

I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog Champion.
That's right.
And the children, they used to sing of love
With the grace from the lord above.
I said the children, they used to sing out loud.
Sing it loud...

Good god, I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog Champion.
I'm a Stardog, baby
And I ain't gonna let you down, yeah
Ain't gonna let you down..
I'll never let you down...
Let the children sing
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nahnahnahnahnowah....

Oooh baby gotta put me back together
I need your smooth dog lovin' oh, yeah
And so I'm sending off the little monster
Gonna turn it up inside your head

Do you believe?
Holy Roller
Like a holy roller
Like a holy roller
to my head

I said you loin queen parader
I won't get you down on all fours
And then you gotta show me what you're made of - little darling
I'll meet you child - by the backdoor babe

Like a holy roller
Like a holy roller
To my head

The love-bone breakdown.

That's right. All right you people.
See I, see I got somethin' to say to you people out there.
You gotta listen to me people, you gotta listen to me.
Yeeeeeah, the lord's comin' down people.
Yeeeeeah he's gonna take ya whole, he's gonna eat ya whole people.
Like a big grizzly bahr comin' out of the closet and eat ya whole.
Ya see the lord's gonna come and get ya people and ya gotta beware
because the Mother Love Bone camp knows what to do about it.
Ya see I been around I seen a lotta long haired freaks in my day,
but those boys in Mother Love Bone I'll tell ya they know what's right for ya.
Ya know they're like Malt-O-Meal for ya, they're good for ya.
They're like soup, they're like nothing bad, let me tell ya that much.
I tell ya people, the lord's comin', and if you don't believe,
and if you don't believe in what I can convey to ya, I tell ya people:
Love rock awaits ya people.
Yeeeah lo and behold, lo and behold...

In the morning
She gone crazy
With a painted picture
Her father's story.

Bone China, my friends....
Bone China, let the summer come again, come again.
I said oh, oh
She be dancing by the moonlit sky
Oh oh
She be moving like a butterfly
Oh oh
She be drinking all my early times
I'm just a waitin' on that dream
Cause the fast ones always ride for free.

Ugly morning
She Jezebel's daughter
She like a Brunhilda
A child of the water.

Bone China, my friends
Bone China, let the summer come again,
Come again I said
Oh oh
She be dancing by the moonlit sky (I'm talking to you)
Oh oh
She be moving like a butterfly (sting like a bee)
Oh oh
She be shakin like the girl from Shine
Oh oh
She be moving like a...
She be moving like a...
High falootin' like a...

I'm just waiting on that dream
Because the fast ones always ride for free
I, I, I
I'm just a waitin' on that dream
Cause the fast ones, the fast ones
Always ride for free...

How did I get here?
What song did I sing?
And just what have I done
To deserve such a thing?

You say - I've heard all that before
So won't you give it up babe - stop using me
You say - I've heard all that before
So bring me an apple - I'm cryin'
I been persecuted - like a lying man

The spirit provides me
The spirit gives but it also can take away

You say - I've heard all that before
So won't you give it up babe - just stop using me boy
You say - I've heard all that before

So come bite the apple
I'm run down
Like Sodom to Gomorrah, all dead now
So please stop to laugh, and pity me
My soul means well, but I'm sorry
My skin it is withered and I'm nervous, yes I am
My future was in my hands till I washed it all away
Washed it all away

Said, get along - little sister
Heard you're doin' well
Get along little sister
Doin' well

I'm crazy, crazy - I'm the boy
Who defies all, yeah
Lift me higher, than anyone
And hold me arms

Woman, woman, she outta mind
And simply out of soul
She gets me higher than anyone
And I miss her so
So do it
I miss her so

Stargazer you call the shots
And I'll take all
Stargazer won't you kick with me - oh please
Stargazer you call the shots
I take all
Stargazer won't you kick with me
Oh please

I dance a dancer - I'm all wrong
She thinks she's young and wise
But oh, no - no
She dance around my - my dirty little cable car
And fix me up with a guy - why?
C'mon
Why'd you do this to me, babe?

[Chorus]
Stargazer you cry in blue
Anything I've ever seen
Ain't as good as you child
I'm not trying to push your feelings
But I know you hold me like butter in your hands
Cry for me and rub it in
Cry for the saviors and the prophet's son
Dream of me and Julie Ann
Oh xana come back again

Waste away my tears - babe I can't cry
No more, no less - My love

I said, my brother's drowning
Like a star babe, like a slower suicide
Me I gave mine away

I give to you my heartshine
Yes I do
I give to you my heartshine
Only for you

A sad hello to death, I'm a stubborn goat on trial
No more, no less
I said time will tell, if love is gonna have the strength to push it
The strength to push it, my pain away

I give to you, I give to you my heartshine
I give to you my heartshine
I give you my heartshine
I give to you my...
X2

Love flourishes
Love flourishes
You've gotta value love supreme
Love flourishes
Love flourishes

I am magnificent!

I'm the instigator of the me generation
The official seminator of the female population

Scoff at my rivals cause they ain't cool
And I re-wrote the bible, and I made my own rules

Captain Hi-Top the love commander
I'm the ego star forever after
Captain Hi-Top the love commander
Hide your mom, control your sister

I'm the hip-hop surgeon of the mindless eye
I said - Take me babe, in between your (?) thighs
And these stories of my image ain't up to par
I'll tell you what I'll do
I slid the beast to Farah, saying babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe
Baby, I'm a star

Captain Hi-Top the love commander
I'm the ego star forever after
Captain Hi-Top the love commander
Hide your mom, control your sister

I wanna show you something like the joy inside my heart.
Seems I been livin' in the Temple of the Dog.
Where would I live if I were a man of golden words?
Or would I live at all?

Words and music (my only tools)...
Communication...

And on her arrival I will set free the birds
It's a pretty time of year when the mountains sing out loud.
Tell me Mr. Golden Words, how's about the world?
Tell me, can you tell me at all?

Words and music (my only tools)
Communication...

Let's fall in love with music,
The driving force of our living...
The only international language,
Divine glory... the expression.
The knees bow, the tongue confesses.
The lord of lords, the king of kings...
The king of kings, oh yeah.

Words and music (my only tools)
Comminucation.
Words and music.
Communication.

Stick it to me baby
My loving father I showed him no pain
Taste of Eucalyptus dances and shakes
Mother Love Bone - mama papa talkin' to me
Love breeds like rabbits I'm gonna set you free now
Tell me about your dream
Chartreuse regalia and purple pie petes
You dance Electra and night becomes day

Got my mama in the kitchen
She always bitchy bitchy bitchin
So I made my proclamation
To control my masturbation, babe

Mother Love Bone - mama papa talkin' to me, yeah
Love breeds like rabbits i'm gonna set you free now
Talk about your dream to me
Got my mama in the kitchen
She always bitchy bitchy bitchin
So I made my proclamation
To control my masturbation, babe

Burgundy baby
With your blue eyed soul
You play the hits and I'm on that roll
Capricorn sister
Freddie Mercury
Jupiter Child cry

Mother Love Bone - mama papa talkin to me, yeah
Love breeds like rabbits I'm gonna set you free now

What can I take from you?
What can I take from you?
What's worth one plug nickel from a silly fool?
What can I take from you
why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there?
Give it to me!

Talkin' about a friend of mine

See Mr. Danny Boy
Did ya see Mr. Danny Boy
Why did I leave you there?
Why did I leave you there?
With your long black kitty and your funky hair
Why did I leave you there?
I said baby
Stop lovin' by the rules
I heard the rumors Danny
Stop your talkin' Danny
I heard the rumors Danny
Lost down in Santa Fe
I had love with a runaway
And to think my daddy thought I was gay
Said I lost mine in Santa Fe

The riff miester is my friend
The riff miester is my friend
I love that motherfucker till the very end
Bolan was my man
Said baby
Stop lovin' by the rules
I heard the rumors, Danny
Stop your talkin Danny
I heard the rumors, Danny
It's a long long road for this here desperado
And its cold cold cold visions of tomorrow
So when was the last time you wrote for me a song

I said babe, stop loving by the rules
And don't play for sorrow
Don't play the fool
Don't play the fool

You ever heard the story
Of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say, 'He who rides the pony must someday fall...'

Talking to my Alter
Said, 'Life is what you make it
And if you make it, death will rest your soul away... away... away'
Yeah, child.

It's a broken kinda feelin'.
She'd have to tie me to the ceiling.
A bad moon's a-comin'
Better say your prayers, child.
I wanna tell you that I love you.
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you draggin' down again... again...
My baby, again... Oh yes.

So I'm singing
This is my kind of love.
It's the kind that moves on.
It's unkind and leaves me alone, yes it does.

This is my kind of love.
It's the kind that moves on.
It's unkind and leaves me alone.

I used to treat you like a lady.
Now you're a substitute teacher.
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight.

I owe the man some money
So I'm turnin' over, honey.
Say Mr. Faded Glory is-a-once again a-doin' time, oh yeah.

And this is my kind of love.
It's the kind that moves on.
It's unkind and leaves me alone, yes it does, ah.
This is my kind of love.
It's the kind that moves on.
It's unkind and, it's unkind and
It LEAVE ME ALONE, YEAH!

Like a crown of thorns.
It's all who you know.
So don't burn your bridges, woman,
'Cause someday, yeah...

Kick it....
This is my kind of love.
It's the kind that moves on.
It's unkind and leaves me alone.
And this is my kind of love.
It's the kind that moves on.
It's the kind that leaves me.

Baby... I said a come on, come on, come on, come on, do it.
I said baby...
Don't burn you bridges, woman...
I'm gonna come back to you...

You can fadeaway my love I will always -
Remember your faces, thru fadeaway -
Bless all of your eyes, I realize you're my reason
And I will always cherish the days, when our souls will be together
She's my sunshine, my moonshine
She's ma' hot, ma hotma Ghandi
She's my lady, she's from Euphrates
Sure 'nuff give that woman to me
You're just another one, just another statistic
You're needle-sickness, illed weakness
Yeah, you killed, yeah you killed, yeah you killed me boy

That old viscious screaming within
The talk of the building with the crashin' about
And broken glass it slides across his skin
They both cry till exhausted and wind up in each other's arms
It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease
I've seen it before girl, I hope they come after me
Cause I'm a bad motherfucker, selfish and sick
You better say your prayers baby cause it's coming down quick
It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease
It's a mindshaker meltdown
I hope they come after me
He lost control, her voice like a fire alarm
Realize he could've hurt his love without knowing it at all
It seems he transforms when she screams her song
Possesed by a broken window and her crying for love
It's a mass jubilation, with jesters and thieves
A kind of group masturbation as they crucify me
Cause I'm a hollywood dreamboy, a pinup in their eyes
I represent mama all you despise

Scratching and dreaming till night turns into day
It's a surefire method to waste your life away
But me, I'm obliged to give you my disease
I'm abracadabra I do what I please
Stone cold mama - she's a bird from a feather
I focus all my energy, understanding you
Such a pretty little prancer in a burgundy blue
Witch hazel eyeballs taking care of love
Remember the key mama - understand my words
Stone cold mama - she's a bird from a feather
Half-assed monkeyboy
Half-assed monkeyboy
Half-assed monkeyboy
Half-assed monkeyboy
If you want a plate oof my beef swellington baby
You're gonna have to pay the cover charge
Open wide let me suck the gate

You ever heard the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I been talkin' to my alter
Life is what you make it
And if you make it death well then rest
your soul away
Away away yeah child
It's a broken kind of feeling
She'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's a comin' better say your
prayers
I wanna tell her that I love her
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down
Again
So I'm singing
This is my kinda love It's the kind that
moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does
I uses to treat you like a lady
Now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight
I owe the man some money so I'm turnin
over honey
You see Mr. Faded Glory is once again
doin' time
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does
Like a crown of thorns it's all who you
know
So don't burn your bridges woman cause

Kick it!
Baby i said com' on, com' on, com' on,
