The Band Album

Channel-Rector

Ever had a hot date, one that couldn't wait
They won't get you too far
In the middle of a good night have you got a ride in
The back seat of your car.

(Stand up) have you ever been there ?
(Stand up) identify ?
(Stand up) tell us all about it
(Stand up) and testify.

Ever met a woman, a late night woman
Party 'til your money was gone
Smilin' Mona Lisa, loaded up your visa
Took the bartender home.

(Stand up) have you ever been there ?
(Stand up) identify ?
(Stand up) tell us all about it
(Stand up) and testify.

Thought I was a he-man, do it just for me, man
I know just what to do
Thought I was a hero, she rated me a zero
Honey you ain't through.

(Stand up) have you ever been there ?
(Stand up) identify ?
(Stand up) tell us all about it
(Stand up) and testify.

Stand up, stand up
Stand up -stand up

(Stand up) tell us all about it
(Stand up) I'm terrified
(Stand up) have you ever find it ?
(Stand up).

If I never saw you
You'd still live in my dreams
Calling out from stages
And music magazines
?If I were a painter
You'd be green and gold
Carved out of matches
But broken out of stone
?Taken from the fire of your fiddle
Words of unspoken, blinding truth
If I couldn't see it, I was lost in my youth
But I'm going back to Memphis - after you.
?If I could have seen you
With blood on your bones
Poison in your fingers
But music in your soul
?You could have been my lover
Taught me everything I know
But now we are your children
Your flowers in the snow
?But all you ever wanted was to see the heart of the city, oh
And all you ever got was hand to mouth
So I know you'll be walking for a long, long time
Cause you're going back to Memphis - heading South.
?Brothers till the night came
And whispered in the pines
Tempting me with secrets
To play a game with time
?Now I feel you in the walls
And I know you're in the air
And it's just like I can touch you
You're living everywhere
?But all you ever wanted was to be in the heart of the city, oh
And all you ever got was handed out
So I know we'll be walking for a long, long time
Cause we're going back to Memphis - heading South
Going back to Memphis - heading South. ?

Chaplin

When you find me walkin' in a dream
Like a falling leaf floating in the sea
Can you hear me prayin' on my knees, knockin' on your door ? I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be.

Maybe freedom was lost and disappeared
And the winter freeze covered all my tears
But I would let nothing melt me to the bone, eating me no more, I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be.

I can breathe with all my might (I can breathe)
I can touch and feel your life (I can feel)
It's no wonder I can barely speak (I can speak)
It's no wonder I can feel (I can feel).

When you find me walkin' in a dream
Like a falling leaf floating in the sea
But can you hear me prayin' on my knees, knockin' on your door ? I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be.

Can you hear me prayin' on my knees, knockin' on your door ? I can't take no more
As you hold me close to where I should always be
As you hold me close to where I should always be.

Foster-McElroy

You wear that clothes and them high heel shoes
That sure don't make you no prostitute
I like rap music and hip hop clothes
It sure don't mean I'm out there selling dope.

Please, forgive me for having straight hair
It sure don't mean that my blood ain't there
I might be another race or colour
Don't mean a thing 'cause I sure love my brothers.

Why oh why must it be this a way ?
Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me.

Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow.

Now, baby sister, you buy things with cash
But that don't mean that your credit is bad
So why dispute me and waste my time ?
Because you think that the price is too high.

I can't look without being watched
You rang my buy before I made up my mind
New attitude, why even bother ?
I can't change my mind and you can't change my colour.

Why oh why must it be this a way ?
Before you can read me, I know you can see me.

Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow.

Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow.

Oh, why oh why must it be this a way ?
Before you can read me, I know you can see me.

Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow.

…

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

The Band-Shear-Szelest

I can see in the mirror that edge had a little fuzz
Her business card didn't tell me what her business was
A beautiful care package sent to a starving man
I ate all of that and I was hungry again.

I heard a sound, a knock on the door
That room was empty, she ain't live there anymore
I was standin' there, reflecting on my own
What's gonna happen to that five hundred dollar loan ?

It ain't worth it cryin' these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
As a high price of love.

There's something wrong all across the nation
Everybody, everywhere, is a victim of inflation
Someone takes advantage, thinks they won't get beat
They think they got a bargain but they're onlygot it cheap.

It ain't worth it cryin' these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
High price of love.

'Cause iIt ain't worth it cryin' these tears
Put 'em all in a vile, fill it up to here
Toss 'em all into the Persian Gulf
Forget about it, man, just write it off.

As a high price of love
As a high price of love
As a high price of love
As a high price of love.

Crazy mama, where you been so long ?
Crazy mama, where you been so long ?
You've been hiding out, yes I know
Crazy mama, I need you so
Crazy mama, where you been so long ?

I been standing on the corner just looking for you, babe
Standing on the corner, looking for you, babe.

Crazy mama, what's that I see ?
Crazy mama , she keeps staring back at me
Crazy mama, where you been so long ?

Crazy mama, where you been so long ?
Crazy mama, where you been so long ?
Crazy mama, where you been so long ?
Crazy mama, where you been so long ?

Well, my mama said the girl's puttin' you down
She's gonna ruin my life
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

She said : 'Boy, you're gonna lose your home'
'You better lose your world'
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

I can't help it, I can't help it, girl
I know I miss that old put you down
I just can't do it, girl.

I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
Must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
Must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

Back way up if you carry me
You need me, girl, when I disappear
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

In a slanted way, frontwards and backwards
Anyway you just don't hear
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

Well, I don't know the way but I wish you would go
I wish that you'd get out of my sight
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

Anyway at all, just leave and go
I won't 'til you leave me alone
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
Must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much).

Must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
Yeah, I love you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)
I must have loved you too much
(Must of loved you too much)

Now when my troubles start to get me down
She's always there, you know she always can be found
And never lets it weight 'til much on me
She always seems to be in touch with me.

You see she knows and I am drawn to her
It is as though I'm a moth and she's the candle's glow.

And when this whole world gets the best of me
She even has the power to change my destiny
I try to tell her what is on my mind
And even though the words are hard to find, at times I know she knows.

And when she comes to me, it is as though
I'm the earth and she's new falling snow.

Well, I love her for the things she knows
She gives me wings with all the things she knows.

She knows.

Goin' back where I was born
Goin' back where I can carry on
African town is really suped
Doin' the world as you do.

All the african women around
They're gonna rock and shake on down
Shake yourself, shake yourself
Rock yourself.

She's alright, she's in the groove
Watch that little girl, how she moves
They're all doin' that on the borderline
Shake yourself like I shake mine.
