Status Quo - Caroline


If you want to turn me on to
Now anything you really want to
Turn me on to your love
Sweet love

If the night time is the right time
Oh anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love
Sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take ya
I really gotta make ya
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock'n'roll

When I'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love
Sweet love

Do you still care when I'm not there
Now do you really wish I was there
Can I come there for love
Sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take ya
I really gotta make ya
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock'n'roll

If you want to turn me on to
Now anything you rally want to
Turn me on to your love
Sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take ya
I really gotta make ya
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock'n'roll

Queensrÿche - Empire



Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone



Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but know you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Antony And The Johnsons - Fistful Of Love

The Jayhawks - Smile


Wake up, put your shoes on
Take a breath of the northern air
And rub those eyes
Genuflect beneath the starry skies

Before you climb the mountain
First the foothills must appear
Step high and light
And take up your staff and shining armor

(Chin up, chin up)
You don't really have a problem
(Chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair

And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)

The stars on the horizon
Stretch as far as the eyes can see
They represent the souls of those like you and me

And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)

(Chin up, chin up)
You don't really have a problem
(Chin up, chin up)
In your hour of despair

And smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)
Smile when you're down and out
(Find something inside you)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird


If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places
I've got to see

But, if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can? t change
Bye, bye, baby it's been a sweet love

Yeah, yeah
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
'Cause the Lord knows
I'm to blame

But, if I stayed here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird, you'll can not change
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
Lord I can't change

Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?


Al Kooper - I Stand Alone


I stand alone
Cant nobody make me change my mind about my love
So many people tryin’ to bring a good thing down today
Ya know it’s down on the ground
Before it’s had a chance to get away
I stand alone
In a world where people wheel ya this way, deal ya that
I tried so very hard to win her love for me
Cant nobody take me where I don't wanna be

Love of my life I feel so much love for you
That’s why I stand alone and do the things I have to do
I have never been so much in love as I am today
And tomorrow - I know tomorrow
I’ll stand alone

Al Kooper - New York City (You're A Woman)


New York City you're a woman
Cold-hearted bitch ought to be your name
Oh you ain't never loved nobody
Yet I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame

Oh I have suckled you in my sorrow
And I have sinned with you in my shame
But you ain't never even seen me
New York City, I'm tryin' to beat your game

Oh and I rise up, Lord, and I fall down
It's all in the merit of my ways, don't you dare try & stop me now
I am settled right here in your haze
and I am stuck here now in the final phase

Now don't you send me to the country
Cause I ain't ready to concede I will tell you when I'm ready
And I will call to you from down on my knees
Oh I might be standing but I'll be down on my knees
New York City you're a woman
Cold-hearted bitch ought to be your name
Oh you ain't never loved nobody
Still I'm drawn to you like a moth to flame
And I guess that it's silly to think you'll ever change

New York City, you're everything my heart & soul inside
New York City, oh I'm stuck here, stuck inside of
New York City, I been with ya up & I been with ya down
New York City, I cant get myself outa this town
New York City, I feel it inside me every day of my life
New York City, I cant break loose, it's all over me
New York City, you're a part of my life in every which way
New York City, everything I ever meant, everything I say
New York City, I cant break loose

Al Kooper - Where Were You When I Needed You


I said Baby, now that you’re here
What’s that I see? Is it a tear?
Did he tell you goodbye & is that the reason why you’re here
Well, I got to know now that you need me so

Where were you when i needed you
Where were you when I was going through
The heartache & fear of not having you here
Where were you?
You were with him
I was alone

The lonely night crept up on me
And you left my arms so suddenly
Now you’re feelin’ so bad, do ya miss the love you had
Here with me
Well I gotta know now that ya need me so

Where were you when i needed you
Where were you when I was going through
The heartache & fear of not having you near
Where were you?
You were with him
I was alone

Al Kooper - (Be Yourself) Be real



Why do we try to be what we wanna be
If we can never be what we are?
And if we could find the way to enjoy everyday
We would have nothing to look forward to at all
There’s nothing wrong with bein’ just somebody
Cause everybody’s got some beauty deep within
And it’s not so hard to doubt what the next guy’s all about
When he lets the evil out and keeps the good stuff in

Be yourself, be real
Be real
Don't be nobody else
Be real, be real
Be real

If the woman is loving you
For the soulful little things you do
You oughta see her through
Cause she’s few & far between
And today there is many a man
Who will walk up & down this land
And never really understand what somethin’ like that means
Now I don't believe there’s a man for every woman
So if you get lucky don't be playin’ any game
And you must never hide
The little things you really feel inside
Or someday someone’s bound to go insane

Be yourself, be real
Be real
Don't be nobody else
Be real, be real
Be real

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over

Screaming Trees - Sworn and Broken


Winter's setting in again
And it feels like the end is near
Senseless sense and I'm alone
Watching the seconds passing by

Come January I swear to this world
Won't be the one that we once lived on
Took an oath for a promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
Away

When Monday morning you can't wake up
Still dreaming' of what could've been
Something good has gone and left you
It's another tear
One won't deny

Come January I swear to this world
Won't be the one that we once lived on
Took an oath
Another promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
All that's gone before you've changed

Well Monday morning you don't wake up
Still dreaming' of what could've been
Something good has gone and left you
It's another tear
One more denial

Come January I swear this world
Won't be the one that we once lived on
Took an oath
Another promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
All that's gone before
All that's gone before
Has changed
