Music Is Love
Everybody's sayin' music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's, you know it is
Every one, yes, every one
Everybody's sayin' music, music is love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love.
Everybody's sayin' that music is love, everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love, everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love, everybody's sayin' it's love
Everybody's sayin' that music is love, everybody's sayin' it's love...
Everybody's sayin' that music is love
Everybody's sayin' it's love.
Put on your colors and run come see
Everybody's sayin' that music's for free
Take off your clothes and lie in the sun
Everybody's sayin' that music's for fun.
Cowboy Movie
Me and my good partners
We were riding back to our camp
We were feeling very fine
and the air was clear and slightly damp
and we were riding back to have ourselves a party
To celebrate the robbing of the train.
We were talking kind of low and lazy
about not having to go out soon again.
You know we hadn't been back home two hours
We heard a hawk cry out in the night
and you know that's a signal from young Billy, who's our sentry.
He's saying something here ain't exactly right.
So we quick grabbed some of our hardware
Stumbled out of our home
in two minutes flat we had found her
an Indian girl all alone...
And Eli said, "Let's take her back to the cabin"
I said, "You don't know she might be the law, yeah"
He said, smiling kind of nasty,
"It ain't too damn likely she'll beat me to the draw."
As we were walking back through the darkness,
I heard the Duke, he's our dynamiter, say,
He said, "What's your name, sweet little Indian girl ?"
She said, "Raven." and she looked away.
Right then I didn't trust her, no and I said so, oh no.
Now, Eli, he's our fastest gunner
He's kind of mean and young from the South
He said, "Fat Albert, you're getting kind of old and weird now."
"You'd better get your twelve gauge shot gun right out."
Now Eli and the Duke they got down to it
They each wanted the Indian girl for their own
but when they finally got around to asking her
You know she said she'd come to take young Billy home.
Eli said he'd kill young Billy
He'd kill the Duke, and probably me too, yeah
the Indian girl said, "Go ahead now do it"
I said "Stop it", and she bit my thumb nearly clean through...
And when they finally started to break down the door
I smeared my face up with blood from my thumb
I laid down on the floor and played real good possum
You know I'm crazy but I ain't real dumb.
Now I'm dying here in Albuquerque
I must be the sorriest sight you ever saw
You know the reason I'm the only man here to tell it
You know that Indian girl, she wasn't an Indian she was the law.
Tamalpais High (at about 3)
Il canto che accompagna il brano e' paragonibile ad uno 'scat',
come si usa a volte nel jazz, cioe' sillabe senza significato,
ma su una base melodica anziche' ritmica.
Laughing
I thought I met a man who said he knew a man
who knew what was going on.
I was mistaken, only another stranger that I knew.
And I thought that I'd found the light
To guide me through my nights and all my darkness.
I was mistaken, only reflections of a shadow that I saw.
And I thought that I'd seen someone who seemed
at last to know the truth.
I was mistaken, only a child laughing in the sun... in the sun...
What Are Their Names
I wonder who they are
the men who really run this land
and I wonder why they run it
with such a thoughtless hand.
Tell me what are their names,
and on what street do they live ?
I'd like to ride right over
this afternoon and give
Them a piece of my mind
about peace for mankind
Peace is not
an awful lot
To ask.
Traction in the Rain
It's hard enough, I know
To find the strength to go
Back to where it all began.
It's hard to enough to gain
any traction in the rain
You know it's hard for me to understand.
Hard to find a way
To get through another city day
without thinking about
Gettin' out.
Now the strangest thing I've seen
Was a t-shirt turning green
in envy of turtle dove.
The dove's lady was the cause
or maybe it was the olive branch she held in her claws
or maybe he could see they were in love.
You know it's hard for me to find a way
To get through another city day
without thinking about
Gettin' out.
