Live From The Fall » The lyrics [+ Bæta við +] |
1. _ Go>
I really have to clean up my room
You know its been so long since i've seen my floor
It's getting kind of scary in fact i suspect
That when i finally clear away i won't know her anymore
How we'll have grown so far apart
From those early days with the fresh new start
So in the end it won't matter at all
So why should i bother with the rise and the fall
So i quietly lay back down
And watch tv
But these are the things we tell ourselves
Eventual stories designed to amuse
It's a game we play and we play it well
In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose
So we can keep hiding
So we can survive
And keep on believing
Someday we'll go outside & drive
Gonna go outside & drive...
I have resolved not to leave my house
Till my floor comes back and my room is clean
So i'm really kind of glad that my tv's here
While i concoct my plan to fulfill my dream
Now won't that be wonderful when i'll finally be done
I just can't wait for it then i'll start to have fun
It's getting hard lately to concentrate
All my appointments cancelled cause i'm horribly late
You know i think i need a prison
In order to dream of being free
But these are the things we tell ourselves
Eventual stories designed to amuse
It's a game we play and we play it well
In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose
So we can keep hiding
So we can survive
And keep on believing
Someday we'll go outside & drive

2. _ Gina
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
Gina, gina
Don't you cry
Gina, gina
Wonder why, i said wonder why
Gina, gina
Dance all night
Gina, gina
Feel all right
Gina, gina
Can't you see
Gina, gina
You're just free, i said you're just free
Well once upon a time
A long time ago
There was a rock'n'roll queen
We came to know
She kept on dancing
She'd dance till dawn
She'd dance till the people and the liquor were gone
She kept on dancing as the crowd grew large
When it came to grooving, you know, she was in charge
She still finds ways today to groove somehow
In fact she could be listening to this music right now
Gina, gina
Don't you cry
Gina, gina
Wonder why, i said wonder why

Low rider gonna move your feet now

Take a little trip

Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

4. _ Alone
Music & lyrics: john popper
I said "i love you"
She began to cry
She said she needed a friend
I said "i'll try"
Soon we'd say nothing
Somehow i never wondered why
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'd loved her always
She didn't know
I tried patience
Let a friendship grow
I tried to keep her
That's what made her go
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be
A love like hers
Ain't meant for guys like me
Some call me crazy
Some politely call me free
But either way you see
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
Think i'm losing my mind, think i'm going berserk
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
And i kinda wish right now that i was telling you so
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
But when i look into your eyes, it all seems the same
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact
Now i don't care how i look and don't care how i act
Cuz you set me free
I'm a man among men
But when i think of what i missed it starts all again
Now alone in the darkness of each new day
My heart is on its own
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
Watch this bassman take me home
I guess some day
Love will soon be here
And maybe then
I'll see things more clear
I guess i got excited
Cause it felt so near
And
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
But i know i'd give my life
Just to hold her now
And who knows
I might see her around
Hopes can always go up
Tears can only come down
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone

5. _ Imagine
Original performer: john lennon
Imagine there's no heaven - it's easy if you try
No hell below us, above us, only sky
Imagine all the people, living for today
Imagine there's no country - i wonder if you do?
Nothing to kill or die for; no religion, too
Imagine all the people, living life in peace, you-hoo
You may say i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
I hope that you will join us
And the world would live as one
Imagine no possessions - i wonder if you can?
Nothing to keep only from greed or hunger - a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world, you-hoo
You may say that i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
I hope that you will join us
And the world would live as one

6. _ Mountain Cry
Music & lyrics: brendan hill
I met my girl on a mountain side
Looking for warmth and a place to hide
She took me in as the day grew long
As we lay by the fire our love grew strong
I left the city for its dirt and grime
The factory wails to make mountain time
I found love, but she slipped away
Now i'm alone, but here i'll stay
I keep on looking till this very day
For my girl who's gone away
I'll search this land till the day i die
A sweet loving woman, make a mountain cry

7. _ Run
Once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When i saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Yes humor me and tell me lies
And i'll lie too and say i don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open i'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Oh yeah
And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But i've been there i can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
Hey baby let's keep in touch
But i want more than a touch i want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Ha la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
And i've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps i've grown a little cynical
But i know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full
Yes, my cup shall always be full
Oh i like coffee
And i like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay
So be that way
I hope and pray
That there's something left to say
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down

8. _ Mountains Win
I pick up my smile put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry so how am i to stop it
Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya
Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh you gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Ooh i feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
The mountains win again
Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life i was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on i'll be careful what i share
Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh ya gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Yeah feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
A pocket is no place for a smile anyway
Someday i will find love again will blow my mind
Maybe it will be that love that got away from me
Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight
Can you feel the same
Yeah ya gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Ooh feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
Ooh the mountains win again

9. _ Breakfast
Well here i am
In a roadside stew
You're checking to see if i'm alright
I'm looking up at you
Well i'm o.k.
I've been here before
You know i have an ass to land on and that's what it's for
I'm gonna dust me off
Get on my feet
Get myself together
Get me good to eat
Well what a night
I don't remember much
Not to worry my friend
I'm better off as such
Well what a day and what's for breakfast?
Have to see what comes along
What a day and what's for breakfast?
Nothing ventured nothing wrong
Well what a day and what's for breakfast?
Have to see what comes along
What a day and what's for breakfast?
Nothing ventured nothing wrong

10. _ Freedom
Music: bobby sheehan
Lyrics: john popper
I walk right by him and he's freezing his ass off
He could be dead i'm supposed to walk away
I won't remember a thing come the summertime
Handful of quarters make me feel okay
Ah ah who's gonna have to pay
Ah ah who do i love today
I love what's mine cause what's mine is all mine
Gives me a reason to go get more
Don't really care where i go to get it
I ain't too clear about "what's yours is yours"
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you don't like a single thing that i'm saying
If you're offended when i demonstrate
Don't mean a damn to me and i shall continue
Hope you won't mind if i control my fate
Ah ah who will i have to fight
Ah ah to defend my created right
I'll defend what's mine cause what's mine will be all mine
It's what i'd fight for it's for what i'd bleed
I roll the dice on the grand experiment
While i am strong i will get what i need
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you're concerned with the moral imperative
If you are tripping on the right thing to do
Come to my office with the exclusive screenplay
I think there's money in a book about you
Ah ah what have you got to lose
Ah ah which are you gonna choose
I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine
Gonna make a million on the folly of men
Don't even care about no consequences
Turn my damnation into chapter ten
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door

11. _ Hippie
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor, baby
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know i want more, baby
Don't run off
Don't you be afraid of me
You know you are what you made you baby
I am what i try to be
You know i need your love
And i could use your money
And if you ain't got a dime
We'll sell tickets, honey
You know we need each other, baby
Like a diamond and a ring
Now settle back now, woman
And watch me do my thing
Just a little bit closer, it's all right
Just a little bit closer, it's all right
Just a little bit closer, just a little bit
Just a little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit,
Little bit, little bit, little bit, little bit,
Little bit, little bit,just the littlest bit,
The littlest bit, littlest bit
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor, baby
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know i want more, baby
That's all i am, i said that's all i am
I said that's all i am, that's all i am
Thank you.

12. _ 100 Years
Music & lyrics: john popper
The sun is warm as the day is long
I just got the feeling i can do no wrong
I've got a long way to walk
Can't afford my next meal
I tell a few lies but my hunger is real
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Mademoiselle tell me do you play
Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
I watch her walk away in haste
There's just no accounting for some people's taste,
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Big angry man in the doorway there
Just keep on walking like i don't care
Why you giving such an evil eye
Could it be you were ignored by every passerby
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Play in the park for tobacco and food
Then i excuse myself but they think i'm rude
Tourist don't want me to end his show
But this colorful attraction got places to go
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Sit at the pier watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
I want to laugh i want to cry
But no matter how hard i may try
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years

13. _ But Anyway
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
I lied and told her i loved her,
She didn't care, but anyway
I told her we'd still be friends,
And she didn't care, but anyway
I tried last week for to call her,
She wasn't home, but anyway
I think i'll spend my life alone,
I really don't care right now, but anyway
It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
I'm quitting cigarette smoking
It's bad for me, but anyway
I don't think the tv was joking
When it told me this, but anyway
The newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats
It's my life he's trying to save, but anyway
I found out that i've got eye cancer
Too many television waves, but anyway
It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands
Some day an answer will find us
Quite a long shot, but anyway
I think the past, the past is behind us
Be real confusing if not, but anyway
I put all my hope in tomorrow
It's gonna be great, i can tell but anyway
I see a new, a new day a dawning
I like to sleep late, oh well, but anyway
It's a state of affairs and a state of emotions
The kind of thing that you must understand
I tell you one thing; you tell me another
We walk away, maybe then shake hands

14. _ Mulling It Over
Music & lyrics: chan kinchla & john popper
I'm mulling it over
Thoughts at a grasp
You know i'm taking it in now
So much, so fast
I'm riding a feeling
Into deeper seas
I can't seem to fret now
It don't bother me
'cause i'm mulling it over, yeah
Said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over
Oh, mulling it over...
I said i'm mulling it mulling it
Mulling it mulling it
Mulling it over mulling it over
Twinkle twinkle little star
Wish i could afford a guitar
Sing a song of sixpence, pocketful of rye
Wish it was more than crumbs i could buy
Meet forever after
Don't he dress real well
You know he's clutching his chest now
Or couldn't you tell
Desperate to score now
No matter how hard he tries
You know he's strung out on future
See it in his eyes
And i'm mulling it over
Said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over
I said i'm mulling it over and over and over and over and over, yeah

15. _ Love & Greed
Music: chan kinchla
Lyrics: john popper
I want to tell you about something special
I want to tell you what makes men need
I think i'm talking 'bout what we all get into
I think i'm talking 'bout love & greed
You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
'cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed
A man in love willing to walk through fire
A greedy man like a moth to a flame
A man in love willing to go half crazy
A greedy man likely to go insane
You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
'cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed
So the trap's been set and you've took the bait
You saw it all go down just a little too late
But now you're hooked and to your surprise
You saw how some of it was real and some was lies
But you're in too deep 'cause you care too much
And there's never been a cure for that as such
You could see prison bars or call it home sweet home
But like it or not you're no longer alone
A man in love don't know what he's doing
A greedy man always says he does
A man in love sold his soul up the river
That's where a greedy man's soul always was
You can take it anyway but take it at your own speed
'cause you wouldn't be the first to fall to love & greed

Gonna land gonna land gonna land gonna land

17. _ Ny Prophesie
Music: chan kinchla
Lyrics: r. popper & john popper
A thousand times a prophet
A new york city prophet
They lie there all forgotten
I wonder who will hear them next
Well it won't be me it won't be you
Kind of makes you wonder who
Any sympathetic ear would do
Who's gonna hear them next
Lie prophet lie
For the sky is much too high
Keep it in your eye
And memorize the moon
Dream prophet dream
Don't you listen to them scream
We know they didn't hear you yet
But you're bound to get there soon
What do you think we'd hear them say
Would they drop down on their knees and pray
Would they tell us that it's all ok
Who do you think will ease their pain
And if we dare to listen
As the tears freeze up and glisten
With the current savior risen
Who do you think will ease their pain
Lie prophet lie
For the sky is much too high
Keep it in your eye
And memorize the moon
Dream prophet dream
Don't you listen to them scream
We know they didn't hear you yet
But you're bound to get there soon
What will our mighty future be
For there ain't no prophet here to see
That narrows it down to you and me
Do you want to live or die
Well we've chosen death with its toll begun
(you know) i've always pictured life more fun
Too bad we couldn't ever act as one
Do you want to live or die
Lie prophet lie
For the sky is much too high
Keep it in your eye
And memorize the moon
Dream prophet dream
Don't you listen to them scream
We know they didn't hear you yet
But you're bound to get there soon

18. _ Regarding Steven
Music & lyrics: john popper
Well i've guessed your name and i'm sure you know mine
I'd like to discuss our mutual friend
I can't help but feel that i left him behind
Does he still stay with you or did his pain ever end
I guess
I don't deserve to know
If he ever let go
I guess
I don't really need to see
If he wound up with you or did he ever break free
When we were both young, you took us in
And taught us to play survival games
He'd lost so much that you let him win
But i had a home so it just wasn't the same
I had the strength
To look you in the eye
And say goodbye
I was lucky
And i didn't have to play
Does he still stay with you or did he get away
I used what i had and i escaped
I smelled something good and i followed its track
But all he could smell was the world that you shaped
It took all my strength and i just couldn't look back
I remember him
Calling after me
I keep that memory
The last thing he screamed out aloud
Was "hey don't you leave me alone!"
Yeah he might live with you but he called me his home
I guessed your name and some day so will he
Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free
Cause one of these ides he's gonna break free
Cause one of these ides he's gonna break...

19. _ Closing Down The Park
Ya know,
There's this park, you see, in new york
That's what this song is about
Where we used to grow up
And, um, hang around
And then we started moving on
And started going on the road
We weren't home that much
But, back then they had this really great idea
When we hit town
These parks were prime real estate, you see
And if we could keep them nice-looking
We could charge more rent for the places around town
Now, i know you guys have that here around boston
But, you know, in new york
They had this great idea that there had to be a crack-down
So we could sweep the park clean of the undesirable elements
And we figured, what could we do?
Besides vote
Perhaps we could tell a song
To you
Through the musical medium
And then you'll know
So here we go
I really hope so
Well, here it is...
Rich man smells smoke, he smells something burning green
Doesn't like the odor, better put some badges on the scene
Put a blue suit on everybody you see hangin' round
And if that don't work, we're gonna close that park down...
But anyway
Yesterday a man was busted trying to walk his dog
Cop didn't like his attitude, say that he was against the law
Shoot everybody with a mutt this side of the town
And if that don't work, we're gonna close that park down...
Preach on, my wounded chandler
You know when you're walkin through that park one night
Whether your skin is black or white
And you feel that particular pressure on the back of your head
And the hairs on the back of your neck start to stand up
And you hear a (police call)
Trust those hairs
Because if you're big or burly
Or even short and surly
Or if your cat's named shirley
You could be walkin through that park
And meet with the most undesirable disaster
Compliments of your taxes
I'm not saying its gonna happen
I'm not saying that it will definitely happen
But it could happen
Because it has happened
I mean, it could be you
Or you, or you, or you, or you
Those guys back there
Yeah, that guy, yeah definitely
Those three, easily
Yup, you
Yup, that guy
That guy
Him
Those guys up there
Stinky or scarface
Anybody
Well, enough of my yacking
What about your truth and your mother's apple pie
I guess it's all another part of your grand designing lie
Should i tell you something pretty so you don't end my way of life
Or should i come up from behind with some stolen, bloody, rusty knife
Well maybe i should sit by and watch you kill my friends
And maybe i can learn to love you and hope you never end
Perhaps i can learn to hate you but i think i already do
All i know for sure right now, it's gotta be me or you
While your uncle rolls his joints with his fifty dollar bill
I'm off in some other park, and i'm laughing at you still
Laughing my saggy ass of at you baby
C'mon tell me all of your stories
Tell me about your politics
Tell me anything
Tell me how you blame your kids
Tell me
