REDEMPTION SONG [Bob Marley] 

Pirates, I'm sayin' they rob I 
Board the merchant ships 
I'm not sayin' we're not a part of it From the bottomless pit 
But my hands were made strong 
By the force of the Almighty 
They don't say that your generation, triumphantly 

Won't you help to sing 
These songs of freedom 
'Cause all I ever had 
Redemption song 

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery 
None but ourselves can free our mind 
Have no fear for atomic energy 
'Cause none of them can stop the time 

How long can they steal our prophets 
While we stand beside and look 
They don't say I'm your generation 
Oh, and I say... 

Won't you help to sing 
These songs of freedom 
'Cause all I ever had 
Redemption song [2x] 

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery 
None but ourselves can free our mind 
Have no fear for atomic energy 
'Cause none of them can stop the time 

How long can they steal our prophets 
While we stand beside and look 
Say some say it's just a part of it 
You got to fulfil the book... 

Won't you help to sing 
These songs of freedom 
'Cause all I ever had 
Redemption song 
'Cause all I ever had 
Redemption song [2x] 
This song of freedom 
Oh... 



ROADHOUSE BLUES [Eddie Vedder with The Doors] 

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel [2x] 
I'm goin' to the roadhouse, gonna have a real...good time...yeah... 

Back of the roadhouse we got the bungalows 
Whoa, back of the roadhouse we got a little bungalow 
Just for the people who like to go down slow 

So let's roll, baby roll... 
Let's roll, baby roll... [2x] 
Let's roll...all night long... 

Roll, roll, roll, gotta feel my soul, alright... 
Gotta roll, roll, roll, gotta feel my soul... 
Hey now...

Passion lady...passion lady... 
Give up your vow...give up your vow... 
Save our city...save this city, right now...hey... 
I woke up this morning, and got myself a beer... [4x] 
Yeah, said roll...the end is always near... 

Yeah, I said roll, baby roll... 
Roll, baby roll...let it roll, baby roll... 
Let it roll...all night long...yeah... 



ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD [Neil Young] 

There are colors on the street...red, white, and blue 
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes 
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead 
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead 
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them 
So I try to forgive 'em, any way I can, yeah... 

I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands 
Under an old street light, oh, near a garbage can 
Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit 
She hates her life, and what she's done with it 
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school 
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool 

Keep on rockin' in the free world [3x] 

The US of A, the United States 
Ain't a free place, it's not a free place 
Ain't got the right to choose, barely got the right to vote 
There they got the right to make an honest buck 
The USA ain't a free, free place 

There's a thousand points of light for the colored man 
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand 
There's department stores, and toilet paper 
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer 
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive' 
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive 
Keep on rockin' in the free world [4x] 



RUBY TUESDAY [The Rolling Stones] 

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday 
Who could hang a name on you? 
When you smile with every new day 
Still I'm gonna miss you... 



RUNNING OUT OF TIME [Dead Moon] 

There ain't no mystery here 
We're just trying to get by 
There ain't no use to plan 
They'll only cut up this sky 
Once they look tine the light, you can't change their minds 
But baby, i know we're running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
We watch them come and go 
There's been so many i know 
We used to feel like that a long, long time ago 
We ain't really so different 
We all walked the line 
But baby, we too are running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
We ain't the first to embrace 
And we won't be the last 
But every moment we stop 
It's already gone past 
We've been living a thrill 
In the blink of an eye 
But baby, we too are running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 
Run run...running out of time 



RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL [Van Halen] 

I lived my life like there's no tomorrow 
And all i've got, beg or steal 
I got nobody, no one you can call real 
I got nobody waiting at home 
Running with the devil 
Running with the devil 
Until i got it, on that road... 
I got no love you can call real 
I got nobody waiting at home 
I'm running with the devil 



SAVE IT FOR LATER [English Beat] 

Save it for later 
Save it for later 
Save it for later...you hit the deck, you get found out 
Save it for later...don't walk away, don't let me down 
Save it for later...you hit the deck, you get found out 
Save it for later...don't run away, run away, let me down 
Don't run away, run away, let me down 
Don't run away, run away, let me down 
Don't run away, run away, don't let me down... 

SEE ME, FEEL ME

Strumentale



SHERATON GIBSON [Pete Townshend] 

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson palying my Gibson... 
And boy, do I want to go home... 
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson... 
And boy, do I feel all alone... 

Cleveland, ho! Eveil on my mind... 
Cleveland, ho! I wish I was home this time... 
Don't want to be unkind... 

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson... 
And thinking about a Sunday barbecue... 
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson... 
In my mind is a Cleveland afternoon... 

Cleveland, ho! Eveil on my mind... 
Cleveland, ho! I wish I was home this time... 
Don't want to be unkind... 

I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playing my Gibson... 
And boy, do I want to go home... 



SHIP SONG [Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds] 

Come sail your ships around me 
and burn your bridges down 
We make a little history, baby 
Every time you come around 

Come loose your dogs upon me 
And let your hair hang down 
You are a little mystery to me 
Everytime you come around 

We talked about it all night long 
We define our moral ground 
But when I crawl into your arms 
Everything comes tumbling down 
Come sail your ships around me 
And burn your bridges down 


SHOWER THE PEOPLE [James Taylor] 

Show them the way that you feel... 
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel 
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel


SLEEPLESS NIGHTS [Everly Brothers]

Through the sleepless nights, i cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you 
These sleepless nights will break my heart in two
Somehow through the days, i don't give in 
I hide the tears that wait within 
But through these sleepless nights, i cry again 
Why did you go? why did you go? 
Don't you know, don't you know, i need you
I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh let it be, please let it be
My love, peace in these sleepless nights for me
Why did you go? why did you go? 
Don't you know, don't you know, i need you
Through the sleepless nights, i cry for you 
And wonder who is kissing you
These sleepless nights will break my heart in two
These sleepless nights will break my heart in two



SO YOU WANT TO BE A ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR [The Byrds] 

So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star? 
Well listen now to what i say 
Get yourself an electric guitar 
Create a song, learn how to play 
And you're ready to go downtown 
To the agent man, he won't let you down 
Sell your soul to the company 
Who are waiting there, sellin' plastic ware 



SQUEEZE BOX [The Who] 

Mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest and when 
Daddy comes home he never gets no rest cause she's 
Playing all night 
And the music's alright 
Mama's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night 
Well, the kids don't eat and the dog can't sleep 
There's no escape from the music in the whole damn street 
Cause she's playing all night 
And the music's alright 
Mama's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night 
She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out 
Cause she's playing all night 
And the music's alright 
Mama's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night 



STEPPIN' STONE [I'M NOT YOUR] [The Monkees] 

I'm not your steppin' stone... [2x] 

You're trying to make your mark in society 
You're using all the tricks that you used on me 
You're reading all them high fashion magazines 
The cloths you're wearing, girl, are causing public scenes, I said a... 

Not your steppin' stone... [2x] 

When I first met you girl, you didn't have no shoes 
But now you're walking 'round like you're front page news 
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose 
But you won't find my name in your book of the who's whose, I said a... 


STUFF AND NONSENSE [Split Enz] 

Disobey my own decisions, I deserve all your suspicion
First it's yes and then it's no, I dilly dally down to duo
But I got no secrets that I babble in my sleep,
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
that's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future, every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side, this I believed before I met you
I soon learned your love burned brighter 
Then the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when I know where and why
And you know that I love yo here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, 
Don't know 'bout the future,
That's all stuff and nonsense
And you know that I love you here and now, not forever
I can give you the present, I don't know 'bout the future,
that's all stuff and nonsense



SUCK YOU DRY [Mudhoney] 

There's no time like the present... [2x] 
There's no time like the present, to get ripped apart... 
Got this burinin' desire, coming strait from my heart... 
I... 
Suck you dry... [2x] 
I can't breathe 'till I 
Suck you dry... [3x] 
I can't breathe 'till I 
Suck you dry... 



SUGGESTION [Fugazi] 

Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion? [2x] 

She does nothing to deserve it 
He only wants, he wants to observe it 
We sit back like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us 

He just wants, he wants to prove it 
She does nothing to remove it 
We don't want anyone to mind us 
Play the role that they've assigned us 

She does nothing to conceal it 
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it 
We blame her for being there 

SWEET VIRGINIA [Rolling Stones]

Wadin' through the waste stormy winter
And there's not a friend to help you through
Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues

Thank you for your wine, California
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
Yes I got the desert in my toenails
And I hid the speed inside my shoe

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, honey child, I beg you
Come on, come on down, you got it in you
Got to scrape the shit right off you shoes

I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
I want you come on, honey child, I beg you
I want you come on, honey child you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, come on down, I beg of you
Come on, come on down, you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes

 

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL [The Rolling Stones] 

Please allow me to introduce myself 
I'm a man of wealth and taste 
I've been around for a long, long year 
Stole many a man's soul and face 

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ 
Had his moment of doubt and pain 
Made damn sure that Pilate 
Washed his hand and sealed his fate 

 

TAKE A WALK [Splint Enz]

time to split out my back door
sunrise dancing on my wall
heading down off beaten tracks
try to get that feeling back
i could take a walk again
up a mountain to a stream
standing on the open rock
looking out over the sea
funny when we move ahead
never worry what we leave behind
i could always find some peace
in the back of beyond
kind voice from yesterday
give love fill up every space
but now i laugh at simple truth
sneer and frown like we all do
when the long night awakes
with memories, a midnight feast
feel the boy in me escape
there's a field of frost beneath my feet
run, never tire
run, boy, forever and ever!
i could take a walk again
up a mountain to a stream
standing on the open rock
looking out over the sea
funny when we move ahead
never worry what we leave behind
remember what a friend of mine said
you gotta be kind
take a walk, take a walk
take a walk, take a walk
you gotta be kind
take a walk, take a walk
take a walk, take a walk...


TALK ABOUT THE PASSION [R.E.M.] 

Into gray, into night, talk..e..it the action 
Into gray, into night, talk about the passion 
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world
Not everyone can carry the weight of the world 
Talk About the Passion } x4

THAT FEEL [Tom Waits]

So there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
It always comes in front of you
Leaves you in the dark
And it's diggin' out like an old tree
It always leaves you
High and dry
You can take her down
But you'll never take her by
But there's one thing you can't lose
And it's that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
It always comes and finds you
Leaves you in the dry
And i swear on my glass eye
And i swear on my wooden leg
Always leaves you
Leaves you in the down
It's harder to get rid of than a tattoo
But there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel
There's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel
Oh there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel
Oh there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel



THE FIRST TIME 

Oh, the first time... 
Everyone always told me it would be better the first time 

There's nothing like the first, nothing will replace it 
Never ever forget the first time...the first time... 

I'm here to say 
I'm here with proof 
I'm a living example 
That the second time around [2x] 
It could be better 
Better [3x] 
The second time around 

Let me tell you that there ain't nothing 
There ain't nothing like your very first... fuck 
The very first time, ain't nothing to live by 
Trying to live your future, trying to live your past 
The second time around, there will always be 
There will always be a second time around 
There will always be, there's got to be a second time around 



THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT [The Who] 

I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl 
That's fine, I know them all pretty well 
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light 
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright... 
The kids are alright... 

Sometimes, I know I gotta get away 
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away 
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind 
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright... 
The kids are alright... 

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her 
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her 
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away 
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away 
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind 
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright... [3x] 


THE KKK TOOK MY BABY AWAY 

She went away for the holidays 
Said she's going to l.a. 
But she never got far 
She never got far 
She never got far, they say 
She went away for the holidays 
Said she's going to l.a. 
But she never got far 

She never got far 
She never got far, they say 
The kkk took my baby away 
They took her away 
Away to stay 
The kkk took my baby 
They took her away 
Away from me 
Now i don't know 
Where my baby can be 
Now i don't know

The kkk took my baby 
They took her away 
Away from me 
The kkk took my baby 
They took my girl 
They took my baby away 



THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' [Bob Dylan] 

Come writers and critics 
Who prophesize with your pen 
And keep your eyes wide 
The chance won't come again 
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin 
And there's no tellin' who 
That it's namin'. 
For the loser now 
Will be later to win 
For the times they are a-changin'. 

Come senators, congressmen 
Please heed the call 
Don't stand in the doorway 
Don't block up the hall 
For he that gets hurt 
Will be he who has stalled 
There's a battle outside 
And it is ragin'. 
It'll soon shake your windows 
And rattle your walls 
For the times they are a-changin'. 

Come mothers and fathers 
Throughout the land 
And don't criticize 
What you can't understand 
Your sons and your daughters 
Are beyond your command 
Your old road is 
Rapidly agin'. 
Please get out of the new one 
If you can't lend your hand 
For the times they are a-changin'. 

The line it is drawn 
The curse it is cast 
And the slow one now 
Will later be fast 
As the present now 
Will later be past 
And the order is 
Rapidly fadin' 
And the first one now 
Will be later the last 
Please get out of the new one 
If you can't lend your hand 
And you better start swimmin' 
Or you'll sink like a stone 
And it shakes at your windows 
And rattles your walls 
For the loser now 
Will later be win 
For the times they are a-changin' 



THIS BOY [That Dog] 

How come... 
They do this to us? 
This boy... [2x] 

How come... 
They make such a fuss? 
Over this boy... 
This boy... 

He's there and I...don't know what to do... 
This boy... [2x] 
Nothin'... 

To look up there into 
This boy... [2x] 



THREE LITTLE BIRDS [Bob Marley] 

Said a-don't worry 'bout a thing...worry 'bout a thing now... 
Every little thing is gonna be alright...alright... 

Said a-don't worry 'bout a thing... 
Every little thing is gonna be alright...alright... 

Woke up this mornin', cried with the rising sun 
Three little birds were on my doorstep 
Singin' sweet songs of melodies pure and smooth 
Singin, 'this is a message to you' 

I said a-don't worry about a thing...worry 'bout a thing now... 
Every little thing's gonna be alright...alright... 
Said a don't worry about a thing...worry 'bout a thing now... 
Every little thing, yeah, is gonna be alright...alright...yeah... 



THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND ME [Hunters And Collectors] 

I will come to you in the daytime 
I will raise into your bed 
I will kiss you in four places 
As I go swimmin' round in your head 

I will squeeze the life right out of your 
I will make you laugh, I'll make you cry 
And you may never forget it 
As I make you call my name as I shout it to the blue, summer sky 

And we may never meet again 
So shed your skin lets get started 
And you will throw your arms around me [2x] 

I will come to you at nightime 
I will climb into your bed 
I will kiss you in 155 places 
As I go swimmin' round in your head 

I will squeeze the life right out of your 
I will make you laugh, I'll make you cry 
And we may never forget it 
As I make you call my name as I shout it to the blue, summer sky 

And we may never meet again 
So shed your skin lets get started 
And you will throw your arms around me [2x] 

Ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh... 
Ohh yeah, uh hum, ooh... 
Ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh... 
Oh...and you will throw your arms around me... 



TIME BOMB [Rancid] 


Black shoes, black mom, black coat, cadillac 
The girl's a time bomb 
Black shoes, black mom, black coat, cadillac 
The girl's a time bomb 
Black girl, black shoes, black hat, cadillac 
The girl's a time bomb 
Black shoes, black coat, black hat, cadillac... 



TIMELESS MELODY [The La’s] 

The melody always finds me 
Whenever the tought reminds me 
A melody chord unto my head 
A melody chord unwinds me 
The rhythm of life unties me 
Bustlin a silent time away 

If you look with your mind 
Do you know what you will find? 
Open your mind... 

Even the words they fail me 
Oh clock it's ??? me 
It's only a ??? i want to see 
It's only a word believe me 
If only the world could see me 
I have a silent word to him... 

If you look with your eyes 
Do you know what you will find? 
Open your mind...

The melody always finds me 
Whenever the thought reminds me 
Breaking a chain inside my head 
A melody chord unwinds me 
The rhythm of life unties me 
Burning a silent time away 
If you look with your mind 
Do you know what you will find? 
Open your mind... 
Open your mind... 
Open your mind... 



TROUBLE [Cat Stevens] 

Trouble 
Oh trouble set me free 
I have seen your face 
And it's too much too much for me 

Trouble 
Oh trouble can't you see 
You're eating my heart away 
And there's nothing much left of me 

I drank your wine 
You have made your world mine 
So won't you be fair 
Oh won't you be fair 

I don't want no more of you 
So won't you be kind to me 
And let me go where 
I'll have to go there 

Trouble 
Oh trouble move away 
I have seen your face 
and it's too much for me today 

Trouble 
Oh trouble can't you see 
You have made me a wreck 
Now won't you leave me in my misery 

I've seen your eyes 
and I have seen death's disguise 
Oh, Hangin' on me 
Oh, Hangin' on me 

I'm beat, and torn 
I'm hattered and tossed and worn 
So shocking to see 
Too shocking to see 

Trouble
Oh trouble please b kind 
I don't wanna fight 
And I haven't got a lot of time 



WALKING THE COW [Daniel Johnston] 

Tried to remember, but my feelings can't know for sure 
Try to reach out, but it's gone... 
But the stars in your eyes... 
I'm walkin' the cow... 
I really don't know how I came here... 
I really don't know why I'm stayin' here... 
Oh oh, I'm walkin' the cow... 

Tried to point my finger, but the wind keeps blowin' me around 
In circles...circles... 
But the stars in your eyes... 
I'm walkin' the cow... 
I really don't know what I have to fear... 
I really don't know why I have to care... 
Oh oh, I'm walkin' the cow... 
But the stars in your eyes... 



WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 

What would you do? 
What would you do in my shoes? 
What would you do? 
Even though I don't know you... 

What would you do? 
Wake up in my shoes? 
What would you do? 
You'd fuckin' kill yourself man... 

What would you do? 
Wake up in my ass? 
What would you do? 
You'd never wake up again my friend... 

What would you do? Would you tell me something please? 
What would you do? 

You'd fuckin' kill yourself man... 

What would you do? [2x] 
What the fuck would you do? 
Shoot yourself man...fuck... 


WINDOW PAINE [Smashing Pumpkins] 

Do what you wanna do... 
Say what you wanna say... 
Do what you wanna do... 
But start today...start today... 



WORLD WHERE YOU LIVE [Crowded House] 

Here's someone now whose got the muscle 
His steady hand could move a mountain 
Expert in bed but come on now 
There must be something missing 
That golden one leads a double life 
You'll find out 
Tell me i don't know where you go 
Do you climb into space 
To the world where you live 
To the world where you live 
Ohh ohhh... 
And here we lie against each other 
And these four walls could never hold us 
We're looking for wide open spaces 
High above the kitchen 
We are strangers here 
On our way to some other place 
Tell me I don't know where you go 
Do you climb into space 
To the world where you live 
To the world where you live 
Ohh ohhh... 
To the world where you live 
Friends come round 
You might remember and be sad 
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar 
Do you climb into space 
To the world where you live 
To the world where you live... 
To the world where you live...
