ain't it always
ain't it always (4)
ain't it always thrilling to find a lover
understands
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always chilling that you might lose her
on the snap
ain't it always
stay there arm away
cos people change
never know what they might rearrange
ain't it always(2)
ain't it always trouble
love somebody so hard
it's a trap
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always double
how much it hurts
she left you flat
ain't it always
but the big thing was how she loved you
nothing like anything you've ever seen
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always(2)
maybe when she's willing she knows the way
she'll come back
ain't it always (2)
ain't it always killing thinking back
she's all of that
for that girl she's got you trapped
four different kinds of heart attack
ain't it always (4)

why not feed the people everywhere
and let the peace begin?
turn your swords to ploughshares everywhere
and feed the people
when they borrow in third world countries people need to be fed
so explain this to politicians while we send them guns instead
of the seeds that they're planting in the ground
making their own way
self sufficient without permission from the good old usa
but it seems they owe us a lot of money
and do you know what for?
cause the friends of senator arrogant made a killing on this civil war
chorus
it is hard to raise an army when your children are all fed
they got no motivation for making other people dead
even with governmentt persuasion of the most compelling kind
give them a choice they'll be looking at you as if you'd lost your mind
but then all of this craziness
it will not go away
till we stop feeding hatred with embargoes and blockades
why take the time to worry
about anybody else?
maybe talk about them
wonder how they felt
caught in the cross fire of someone else's fight
what is wrong?
nobody's right
all religions and ideologies
suffer from the truth
until lies become reality
when the people start to shoot
got a whole lot to answer for
but who are we to judge?
common sense and enough to eat
can settle any grudge
when the kindness of strangers
it means no disrespect
being honest with the help you give
means there's nothing to expect
chorus

People find love the way they do
Ain't the same for any two
If you think you get to choose, there's heartbreak
It takes paying attention to divine intervention
Trust the decision your heart makes
In the tropical moonlight where the air feels like velvet
Only someone to share it was missing
My heart was feeling bolder, would she turn a deaf shoulder
My mind getting older by the minute
It was hard to sit & wait, look at the stars, ponder my fate
Is to fear was it too late for the risking
Now we've had a few years, we're working out our fears
Lots of laughter & tears & growing
We left room to be ourselves, got the hand we'd been dealt
And there's nobody else need know it
People find love the way they do
Ain't the same for any two
We get chosen, we don't choose at the heart's gate
If you're paying attention to divine intervention
Comes a glorious ascension you both make
At the heart's gate.

Round the Bend
I was a child lost in the northern plains
I was reckless, tryin' to throw my life away
I was too young for where I'd been
Tryin' to regain my innocence
Already lost my best friend
Off somewhere in Vietnam
I wasn't going to go look for him
My destiny, just around the bend
Come along this apparition
An enigma for my intuition
Told me hold on to what you said
You got song, and you're too classy
Hard as Canadian black ice
All over you, makin' you think twice
Y'already can
Our destiny just around the bend
Just around the bend
So come on, let's go to New York city
Play the night owl,it's a pity
Couldn't find him, so I headed west
Think everyone knows the rest
I found him on the Sunset Strip
Bad place to get a grip
Got a band of famous men
Next thing you know
They took me round the bend
round the bend
We got down on to some magic places
But the peoples around all had four faces
Couldn't stand such an honest heart
They couldn't wait to tear us apart
Early I didn't know
But the magic isn't odd you know
Don't need to be alone again
That's rockin', a roundin' at the bend
Roundin' at the bend
. . .

i don't get it
maybe it's me but i don't understand what it is that you're so uptight
could it be i been thinking about what you said to me if i heard it right
i don't believe that you really believe what you're saying at all tonight
i don't get it....
what is this all about
i don't get
suddenly my love in doubt
i don't get
wondering can we work it out
i don't get it
i been paying attention and tried my best but i cannot follow
and i have to admit that it's too strange a script for me to swallow
can't swallow that
do i know i am only an echo out of the deepest hollow
i don't get it...
in all honesty
i don't get it
none of this is about me
i don't get it
why you live in misery
i don't get it
i don't get it...
wondering what you think i see
i don't get it
cos everything's wrong with me
i don't get it
this ain't no way to be
i don't get it
acccording to you there's nothing that's true about how we love each other
hearing about so much you all rather touch and we can go no further
stop
baby i know that you're hurting but i got to sit here and watch you suffer
i don't get it....
we got a love to live
i don't get it
whatever else this is
i don't get it
now it ain't happening
i don't get it
used to have so much fun
i don't get it
now you just changed and run
i don't get it
confusing to everyone
i don't get it
i can't get it
i don't get it
. . .

around us
any more when i think of you
there is no separating me and you
we got a whole lot of work in there
and between us there's one heart beating
cos of your sweet love
cos of love and devotion
we see clearly now
we can see clearly over the horizon
ain't no dream too high
ain't no dream out of touch
anywhere around us
anywhere around us, anywhere
anywhere around us, anywhere
takes my breath looking at you now
girl don't you light up a room anyhow
the most fortunate man alive
has to be me with you by my side
cos of your sweet love
cos of love and devotion
we see clearly now
we can see clearly over the horizon
ain't no dream too high
ain't no dream out of touch
anywhere around us
anywhere around us, anywhere
anywhere around us
just between us
people keep telling us
entirely too curious
too much to say about what we are doing
prob'ly jealous baby
don't let 'em come between us
don't let 'em come between us baby
come between us
every time that we are apart
time you're away
more than a couple of days
been a start
give it up
pining away for you
missing your love
girl i ain't lost i'm just missing you
cos of your sweet love
cos of love and devotion
we see clearly now
we can see clearly over the horizon
ain't no dream too high
ain't no dream out of touch
anywhere around us
anywhere around us
anywhere around us, anywhere
anywhere around us
anywhere around us

different man
i am a different man
than you've ever seen me be
i got young though i'm older now
fear and anger have no power over me
dug a hole and i did fall in
there i stayed for a while
who done told to be my saviour
in their pity they done lost all sense of me
nothing really matters but the love that's in my heart
long tall sally's standing by me
many are the friends i have been loyal to a fault
who have known all along
that there ain't too much good we've done
feeling shameful for too long
and you ain't bad but you went wrong
we all are sinners
the lord forgives us every one
god forgive every one
. . .

piece of me
somewhere out yonder
mystery
cain't nothing but wonder how it got free
it's a spell i'm under
but you all want a piece of me
come out of the shadow
which you do tell
go a-dream out ya river
into a wishing well (yeah)
what y'all think i need
all want a piece of me
like i am
don't you know it's a hunger
i can't stay away
there's a sigh and a thunder
needs playing
know where i'll be
every last piece of me
can i be excused
it's my guitar phone
thinking what i will use
to get the cool tone
might get you pay
if you just fade away
go get on

Wounded World
So you're goin' out on your own
And you're finally leaving home
You'll be alright, just watch out for your spirit
You're gonna find that you're alone
Makin' choices of your own
Like a ship at sea, your life goes where you steer it
It's a wounded world
Full of love and lies
It's a wounded world
But you cannot be denied
If you mean it when you try
In this wounded world
Sometimes, hurtin' bad, you're ready t'give up
Can't help, (can't believe, you know, you) used you like a drug
We had similar adventures, never closed the door
Part of me is part of you
I can't tell you any more
âBout this wounded world
I don't mean to sound so cynical
But it truly is a miracle
That your heart turned out so good midst all this game child
Put your faith in them that earn it
With your love you will discern it
But don't judge nobody never! out of anger
Well it's a wounded world
Full of love and lies
It's a wounded world
But you cannot be denied
When you mean it, if you try
In this wounded world
It's a wounded world, wounded world
. . .

drivin' thunder
i was again in florida
cruisin' with my crowd
over by datona we done
heard the most awesome sound
went out to the speedway
what was this about?
the meanest looking cars you ever seen
running flat out
drivin' thunder
rollin' down the race track
drivin' thunder
you can't ever relax
all set up to go
just one way to go
stick your foot in it
clear to the floorboard
me i got right in it
inside them old boys' heads
do I need a splash of gas?
how much time do i have left?
the car is feelin' good now
i got my quickest line
stickin' back just loosen up
took 4 seconds off the best lap time
drivin' thunder
rollin' down the race track
drivin' thunder
can't ever relax
all set up to go
just one way to go
stick your foot in it
clear to the floorboard
drivin' thunder (2)
drivin' thunder(2)
don't ever look back
drivin' thunder (2)
12 seconds pit stop
the rubber and the fills
a crew that good deserves
a display of my driving skills
draggin' on the leader like a bird of prey
i got too much car for him
gonna slingshot
and win this race
(you got) drivin' thunder
rollin' down the race track
drivin' thunder
can't ever relax
all set up to go
just one way to go
stick your foot in it
clear to the floorboard
drivin' thunder (7)

In the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
There's a mist that's hanging right in between
The Spanish moss & the cypress LEAVES
And the memory of the life that's gone wrong
C'est plus quand possible
Tu les sais Acadienne
I'm a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug you'll be thinking back
He'll be running wild as a child tonight
And the snakes and âgators they was friends of mine
I'll forever be un petit Acadien
C'est plus quand possible
Tu les sais Acadienne
And the father never found peace enough
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Every time we'd get settled down
We'd wake up heading for another town
From the Louisiana to the Florida
That's a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
That's a simple people don't complicate
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
And the life you get is the life that I want
C'est plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
And my father never found peace enough
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Every time we'd get settled down
We'd wake up heading for another town
Hear me boy cos your love is why
You got two three words you gonna be alright
And there's powerful forces out up the swamp
It'll be forever, make it permanent
And the life you get is the life that I want
C'est plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
C'est plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne

Cuando sientes que tu amor
va saliendo de tu vida
y nunca regresará
Cuando ella diga
adios y buena suerte
no estoy interesada
tu amor no vale nada
(when you feel that your love
is going out of your life
and will never come back
when she says
goodbye and good luck
i am not interested
your love is worth nothing)
There comes a time when love becomes a trial
And some they will survive
And some are sure to fail
No matter what you do
It's not enough, for she
Is as sure as she can be
That she no longer cares to love you
So go on alone, your future is your own
For she has told you now
The time has come to follow different paths
How long will it take you to forget her?
How long for the love to finally die?
How long will the spirit live within you?
Help me, I can no longer cry
(trumpet)
So take your life in hand
And live it day by day
One moment at a time
âTil death comes to collect you
Remember all the love, beyond just simple caring
Obsessively compelling,
But ultimately so telling
Y parece
que sabías que algún día
iba a vivir
ese momento ya pasado
No mientas
ya no llores por tu amor
la vida continúa
olvida tu dolor, hermano mío
Todo todo ha pasado
estaba destinado
(and it seems
you knew that some time
i was going to live
the moment had already passed
don't lie
don't cry for your love
life goes on
forget your pain, my brother
everything is over
it's already been written)
It took me too much time to realize that it was over
There was no more me and you
Now my life has changed completely
There's an empty place that once belonged to you (yeah)
I gave up on you
That's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
Giving up on you
I gave up on you
I have nothing left to lose
Even though I know you'll never really face yourself or put your trust in someone else
That's just the same as asking all of us to turn away and just give up on you
Every day is different for me now
The air is clear, and the daily worry too (all the time)
Easier to repossess my confidence was weak
I was trapped in loving you
I gave up on you
Even with the sadness it would surely bring
I gave up on you
I gave up on you
Even knowing what I do
I was giving up the pain of living without you
My life will never be the same
So I will once again do as you wish give up on you
I feel so common now
My love of decades, (won't you really pass too late?)
Hatreds born of demons must be driven from destruction
Now must fight for its own sake
I gave up on you
I'd no more time to waste
I gave up on you
I'd harder things to face
I gave up on you
I've finished with the chase
I gave up on you
While I can still forget the bitter taste
And memories that overcome me
Seeming to be trying to convince me
That life is nothing but a time to waste
I gave up on you
