Like him I’m tired of trying to heal this tomcat heart with which I’m blessed.
Is destruction loving’s twin? Must I choose to lose or win?
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed.
Did you ever waken to the sound of street cats makin’ love?
You’d guess from their cries you were listening to a fight…
most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love
most of the time they’re sittin and cryin at home
Come on child take a walk with me and tell me who do you love
Merry run around
Sailing up and down
Looking for a shove in some direction
Got it from the top
It’s nothing you can stop
Lord, you know they made a fine connection
They love each other
when push comes to shove,
you’re afraid of love
Don’t you push me baby, 'cause I’m moaning low
You know I’m only in it for the gold
same old story, and I know it’s been told
some like jelly, jelly, some like gold
Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold
Oh ,sweet mama, can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Mobile , with the Memphis blues again
I hope this is not terrible form, but to briefly interrupt this thread for just a min. has anyone else picked up the CD/DVD of the “Crimson White and Indigo” show from Philly (July 9 1989)?
The Memphis Blues from the first set is a rave-up!!! (The Memphis Blues line from the poster above reminded me of the DVD)
I don’t know but I’ve been told that it’s hard to run with the weight of gold
On the other hand, I’ve heard it said that it’s just as hard with the weight of lead…
you better run, run,
run for the roses
shaking in the garden
the fear within you grows
here there may be roses
to punch you in the nose
If I tell another what your own lips told to me,
Let me lay 'neath the roses, till my eyes no longer see.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world!
well I wake in the morning, fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas, that are driving me insane
it’s a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more!
Don’t wanna be treated this a way!
(so I’m)
goin’ down the road feeling bad,
goin’ down the road feeling bad,
goin’ down the road feeling bad…
…when things go wrong, wrong with you… it hurts me too.
something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
It don’t matter, anyhow,
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If you don’t know by now
