Money & Cigarettes

By eric clapton

You say you do when you don't -- you say you will when you won't.
You make me laugh make me cry -- you make me live make me die.
You put me in put me out -- you make me scream make me shout.
You pick me up put me down -- you make me king make me clown.

I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.
I'm like a man on fire, a man overboard.

You can turn on the light in the middle of the night.
You can put me to rest, what you do is the best.
You can turn me away and get me back the next day.
You can fill up my heart or you can tear it apart.

Chorus

You got me so excited you put my heart on overload.
You got my soul ignited -- i'm getting ready to explode.
There ain't no early warning for what i'm going through.
I got the fever in the morning because my heart is set on you.

Chorus

By eric clapton

It ain't no big deal, we're all lucky to be alive,
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances, i will survive.
Every move i make, every twist every turn,
You scandalize and humble me, i may be slow but i will learn.

'cause i ain't going down anymore.
'cause i ain't going down anymore.
'cause i ain't going down anymore.
'cause i ain't going down anymore.

If i had my way, i would probably just sit and stare.
Watch the t. v. or read a book, i'd have no reason to be aware,
But i ain't got time, i just could not live that way.
I've got to step outside myself, i've still got something left to say.

Chorus

Chorus

Channelled in my groove, part of another space and time.
Please allow me to introduce another good friend of mine.
Some call him fear, some call him righteousness.
I myself ain't clear, and you can't force me to make a guess.

By eric clapton

Well, if you're looking for a winner, then you know you've got to go with me.
I've got more ashes than wednesday and you know i can brew my tea.
I'm fixing to teach you everything i know,
I'll take you with me baby everywhere i go.
If i can catch you for a minute i know you'll take a chance with me.

So slow down, slow down linda.
Don't you think that you could save a little time with me?
So slow down, slow down linda.
Don't you know that i've been waiting for your company?

I've seen you speeding down the highway when you ought to dig the scenery.
And you can wolf down your dinner in the time it takes to drink my tea.
You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer you always go too fast for me.

Chorus

I think that you're getting too old to be running around,
I think that it's time you thought about settling down,
So slow down, slow down linda,
Don't you know that i've been waiting for your company.

You're always rushing 'round everywhere you go,
You leave me eating dirt on the side of the road.
I can't keep running much longer, you always go too fast for me.

Chorus

Everybody oughta make a change
(by sleepy john estes)

Change in the weather, change in the sea,
Come back baby, you'll find a change in me.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we have to go down in that lonesome ground.

I changed suits, i changed shirts,
I changed, baby, just to get shed of the dirt.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground.

I changed honey, i changed money,
I changed, people, just to keep from being funny.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground.

Change in the ocean, change in the sea,
Come back baby, you'll find a change in me.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we're going down in that lonesome ground.

I've got a feeling we could be serious, girl;
Right at this moment, i could promise you the world.
Before we go crazy, before we explode,
There's something 'bout me, baby, you got to know, you got to know.

I get off on 57 chevys;
I get off on screaming guitar.
Like the way it hits me every time it hits me.
I've got a rock and roll, i've got a rock and roll heart.

Feels like we're falling into the arms of the night,
So if you're not ready, don't be holdin' me so tight.
I guess there's nothing left for me to explain;
Here's what you're gettin' and i don't want to change, i don't want to change.

Chorus

I don't need to glitter, no hollywood,
All you got to do is lay it down and you lay it down good.

Chorus
