Alright!

 

Couldn't stop moving when it first took hold
It was a warm spring night at the old town hall
There was a group called, "The Jokers" they were layin' it down
'Cause ya know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound

 

Rock and roll, hoochie koo (rock and roll, hoochie koo)
Lordy mama, light my fuse (light my fuse)
Rock and roll, hoochie koo (rock and roll, hoochie koo)
Truck on out and spread the news

I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Concheroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
That I'm the hoochie coochie man

Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
I've got a black magic woman
Got me so blind, I can't see
That she's a black magic woman
She's trying to make a devil outta me

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive for you
I'll bring all your dreams alive for you

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll

I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here


Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride

Once upon a time, once when you were mine

I remember skies reflected in your eyes

i wonder where you are

i wonder if you think about me

Once upon a time in your wildest dreams

 

Once beneath the stars

The universe was ours

Love was all we knew

And all I knew was you

 

I wonder if you care

I wonder if you think about me

Once upon a time in your wildest dreams

 

And when the music plays

When the words are touched with sorrow

When the music plays

I hear the sound I have to follow

Once upon a time…

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be


There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken

I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive


Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive

Old man, look at my life
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two

 

Love lost, such a cost
Give me things that don't get lost
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you

Well you can take it as a warning
Or take it anyway you like
It's the lightning, not the thunder
You never know where it's gonna strike

Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Ooooh-ooh-oooooh
Our love's in jeopardy, baby
Ooooh-ooh-oooooh

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo

 

Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

 

RIP John Prine

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
There's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn


Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me

I built these walls to hide my ghosts
Your fingers trace the wounds exposed
I try and try to let you in
But I fail again and again

 

So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But I don't wanna give you away
Yeah, I keep you at arm's length and let you go
But only if you promise to stay

 

You think you know that you know
But you really don't know me
I know you love so hard
And it's killing me slowly

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defenses down
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound

 

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain
Whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around
