For What It’s Worth
There’s something happening here
And what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
A-tellin’ me I’ve got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
And nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
A-gettin’ so much resistance from behind
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and a-carryin’ signs
Mostly say “Hooray for our side”
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s goin’…
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s goin’…
You better stop, now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s goin’…
You better stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s goin’….
Go and Say Goodbye
You ask me to read this letter that you wrote the night before
And you really should know better cause she’s worth a whole lot more
Brother, you know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t to see her cry?
Is that why you won’t go and say goodbye?
Then you said the fault was yours and you really were to blame
’Twas as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame
Brother, you know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t to see her cry?
Is that why you won’t go and say goodbye?
Yes and why, tell me why cant’ you see that it’s not right?
It’s a lie, it’s a lie–don’t hide your sorrow in the night
Brother, you know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t to see her cry?
Is that why you won’t go and say goodbye?
And I know the pain is doubled but for her it’s even worse
You must face her with the trouble though it’s hurting like a curse
Brother, you know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t to see her cry?
Is that why you won’t go and say goodbye?
Brother, you know you can’t run away and hide
Is it you don’t to see her cry?
Is that why you won’t go and say good…
Go and say good…
Go and say goodbye?
Sit Down, I Think I Love You
Sit down, I think I love you
Anyway, I’d like to try
I can’t stop thinking of you
If you go I know I’ll cry
Can’t you see that I’m a desperate man
I get high just being around you
You ought to know what they say about the bird in the hand
And that’s why I ain’t leaving without you
So if you want someone to love you
Pretty baby, I’m your guy
It’s not much I’m asking of you
Just to please give me a try
Can’t you see that I’m a desperate man
I get high just being around you
You know what they say about the bird in the hand
And that’s why I ain’t leaving without you
So if you want someone to love you
Pretty baby, I’m your guy
It’s not much I’m asking of you
Just to please give me a try
Sit down I think I love…you
Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing
Who’s that stomping all over my face?
Where’s that silhouette I’m trying to trace?
Who’s putting sponge in the bells I once rung
And taking my gypsy before she’s begun?
Just singing the meaning of what’s in mind
Before I can take home what’s rightfully mine?
Joining and a-listening and talking in rhymes?
Stopping the feeling to wait for the time?
Who’s saying “Baby, that don’t mean a thing”?
Cause nowadays Clancy can’t even sing
And who’s all hung up on that happiness thing?
Who’s trying to tune all the bells that he rings?
And who’s in the corner and down on the floor
With pencil and paper just counting the score?
Who’s trying to act like he’s just in between?
The night isn’t black if you know that it’s green
Don’t bother looking, you’re too blind to see
Who’s coming on like you wanted to be?
Who’s saying “Baby, that don’t mean a thing”
Cause nowadays Clancy can’t even sing?
And who’s coming home on old 95?
Who’s got the feeling to keep him alive?
Though having it, sharing ain’t it quite the same
Paint a gold nugget, you can’t lay a claim
Who’s seeing eyes through the crack on the floor?
Well, there it is, baby, don’t you worry no more
Who should be sleeping but’s writing this song,
Wishing and hoping he weren’t so damn wrong?
Who’s saying “Baby, that don’t mean a thing”?
Cause nowadays Clancy can’t even sing
Cause nowadays Clancy can’t…even sing
Hot Dusty Roads
I don’t tell no tales about no hot dusty roads
I’m a city boy and I stay at home
I make no excuses; I just don’t want to roam
And I don’t like being alone
I give you loving and a place to take off your shoes
It does surprising things for a case of the blues
It ain’t no club; you don’t have to pay no dues
You just love me and I’ll love you
And if you take some pride in being alive
And you’re interested in looking inside of yourself
Just drop on by, maybe ask me why
At least you don’t have to be by yourself
Just come out, most likely I’ll be there
Then you look around find a comfortable chair
Then you sit and you might think about why he’s there
I can’t tell you why, only where
And if you take some pride in being alive
And you’re interested in looking inside of yourself
Just drop on by, maybe ask me why
At least you don’t have to be by yourself
Just come out, most likely I’ll be there
Then you look around, find a comfortable chair
Then you sit and you might think about why he’s there
I can’t tell you why, only where
I don’t tell no tales about no hot dusty roads
I’m a city boy and I stay at home
I make no excuses; I just don’t want to roam
And I don’t like being alone (alright)
And I don’t like being alone (one more time)
And I don’t like being alone
Everybody’s Wrong
Listen to my song
It isn’t very long
You’ll see before I’m gone
That everybody’s wrong
Those of who run to catch
A moment in the sun
Seem to find that when we’re done
That we weren’t supposed to run
And there’s too many words going down
They keep ringing against the walls with a hollow sound
All about what it’s gonna be
Yes, you know what it was, you’ll see
It ain’t paying you and me, not a crown
Finding what you’ve sought
After all the time you’ve fought
Sometimes leaves you with the thought
That perhaps you’ve just been bought
And there’s too many words going down
They keep ringing against the walls with a hollow sound
All about what it’s gonna be
Yes, you know what it was, you’ll see
It ain’t paying you and me, not a crown
Finding what you’ve sought
After all the time you’ve fought
Sometimes leaves you with the thought
That perhaps you’ve just been bought
Flying on the Ground is Wrong
Is my world not falling down?
I’m in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren’t open and I’m standing on my knees
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I’m sorry to let you down
But you’re from my side of town
And I’ll miss you
Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me round
I wish I could have met you in a place where we both belong
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I’m sorry to let you down
But you’re from my side of town
And I’ll miss you
Sometimes I feel like I’m just a helpless child
Sometimes I feel like a king
But baby…since I have changed I can’t take nothing home
City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If I’m bright enough to see you, you’re just too dark to care
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I’m sorry to let you down
But you’re from my side of town
And I’ll miss you
Burned
Been burned and with both feet on the ground
I’ve learned that it’s painful coming down
No use running away
And there’s no time left to stay
Now I’m finding out that it’s so confusing
No time left and I know I’m losing
Flash and I think I’m falling down
Crash and my ears can’t hear a sound
No use running away
And there’s no time left to stay
Now I’m finding out that it’s so confusing
No time left and I know I’m losing
Now I’m finding out that it’s so confusing
No time left and I know I’m losing
Been burned and with both feet on the ground
(Been burned and with both feet on the ground)
I’ve learned that it’s painful coming down
No use running away
And there’s no time left to stay
Now I’m finding out that it’s so confusing
No time left and I know I’m losing
Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It
Do I have to come right out and say it,
Tell you that you look so fine?
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
If it was a game I could play it
Trying to make it but I’m losing time
I’ve got to bring you in–you’re overworking my mind
Indecision is crowding me
I have no room to spare
And I can’t believe she’d care
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don’t where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared once before
Do I have to come right out and say it,
Tell you that you look so fine? (Look so fine)
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
Indecision is crowding me
I have no room to spare
And I can’t believe she’d care
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don’t where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared once before
If it was a game I could play it
Trying to make it but I’m losing time (Losing time)
I gotta bring you in–you’re overworking my mind
Do I have to come right out and say it, girl,
Tell you that you look so fine? (Look so fine)
Leave
Nobody knows, nobody sees
That what you can do, Well you done it to please
Which is most of the time not me
Yeah, hear my plea—leave!
Go away to stay
Get out of my life, you ain’t my wife
I’m free to choose to be
Yeah, hear my plea—leave!
You will be sorry when you wake up tomorrow
And you need my love, I won’t speed my love
You won’t accept the fact
That I’m not ready for step above, forever love
From the look on your face
You decided to make it to another place
I’ll see you around, my sweet
Won’t you please hear my plea—leave! (Alright!)
You will be sorry when you wake up tomorrow
And you need my love, I won’t speed my love
You won’t accept the fact
That I’m not ready for step above, forever love
From the look on your face
You decided to make it to another place
I’ll see you around, my sweet
Won’t you please hear my plea—leave!
Nobody knows, nobody sees
That what you can do, well you done it to please
Which is most of the time not me
Yeah, hear my plea—leave!
Out of My Mind
Out of my mind
And I just can’t take it anymore
Left behind
By myself and what I’m living for
All I hear are screams (All I hear are screams)
From outside the limousines (Shiny limousine)
That are taking me…
Out of my mind
Through the keyhole in an open door
Happy to find
That I don’t know what I’m smiling for
Tired of hanging on (Tired of hanging on)
If you miss me, I’ve just gone (Miss me, I’ve just gone)
Cause they’re taking me…
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
And I just can’t take it anymore
Left behind
By myself and what I’m living for
All I hear are screams (All I hear are screams)
From outside the limousines (Shiny limousine)
That are taking me….
Out of my mind
Pay the Price
Well, I’ve heard this story once before
And I know what the tears are for
That’s a line that I just can’t buy
You can’t fool me, so don’t try
And I see another man in your eyes
Yes, and you’re old enough to know you can’t live lies
Yes, and so I’m telling you just exactly what to do
Cause you can’t have two takes of advice
Pay the price
And it was another time and place
Another day, another face
I’m telling you babe, it’s all you know
That one of us is going to have to go
And I see another man in your eyes
Yes, and you’re old enough to know you can’t live lies
Yes, and so I’m telling you just exactly what to do
Cause you can’t have two takes of advice
Pay the price
Yes, and I know you hate to see me cry
But I have to go and I’ll tell you why
Without your love I just can’t go on
And three’s a crowd (and it’s wrong)
And I see another man in your eyes
Yes, and you’re old enough to know you can’t live lies
Yes, and so I’m telling you just exactly what to do
Cause you can’t have two takes of advice
Pay the price
And I see another man in your eyes
Yes, and you’re old enough to know you can’t live lies
Yes, and so I’m telling you just exactly what to do
Cause you can’t have two takes of advice
Pay the price
Pay the price
Pay the price
Mr. Soul
Well, hello, Mr. Soul I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just the trace of my face could seem so pleasing
Oh come out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was razed by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said “Your strange, but don’t change” and I let her
In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don’t know, why don’t you ask her
Is it strange I should change? I don’t know, why don’t you ask her
Is it strange I should change? I don’t know, why don’t you ask her
There goes another day and I wonder why
You and I keep telling lies
I can’t believe what you say
Cause tomorrow’s lullaby
Can’t pass it by
My lonesome cryin’
Make believe is all you know
And to make believe is a game
A child’s reign
You changed your name
So sadly I watched the show
As you see what you became
Truth is a shame
Too much pain
There goes another day and I wonder why
You and I keep telling lies
Everydays
Look at the sad goodbyes
Everyday’s a-killin’ time
Sun comin’ up outside
No matter what this time
Saturday’s child stays home
Nothing to say so wrong
Well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day
Grocery store, ten clerks
Just making change, plastic jerks
Up in a tree a jay bird
Yellin’ at me no words
Everyone looks, can’t see ????
Well, well, another day
Well, well, well, another day
Something in the way with things
Of ecstasy the sound of trees
Most any breeze
What a baby sees
Beautiful face alright
Many a place uptight
Old woman there with red shoes
A million balloons, all huge
Driving the hills forget fears
Gettin’ it on in second gear
Well, well, another day
Well, well, another day
Something in the way with things
Of ecstasy the sound of trees
Most any breeze
What a baby sees
Expecting to Fly
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed I wondered whether I could wave goodbye
Knowing that you’d gone
By the summer, it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we’d spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
They ended with a cry
They ended with a cry
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I’d found
Knowing it was gone
If I ever lived without you
Now you know I died
If I ever said I loved you
Now you know I tried
Babe, now you know I tried
Babe, now you know I tried Babe…
Bluebird
Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can’t tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows only cryin’
Just cryin’
There she sits aloft a perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
Thinks only of you
Just you
Oh, so get all those blues
Must be a thousand yous
And be just differently used
You just know
You sit there mesmerized
By the depth of her eyes
If you can categorize
She got soul, she got soul
She got soul
Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she’s going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Give herself of a bath of tears
And go home, and go home
Hung Upside Down
Look what’s happenin’ to me
I’m going blind
Please help
There I sat until three
Getting further behind myself
By myself
And I’m hung upside down
And I’m hung upside down
Oh, hung upside down
Yes and I’m hung upside down
I’m hung up, hung up, hung upside down
Someday I will be free
And there’ll be time
You just wait I will come to you
See what I bring you
When I get straight
Oh, it’s too late
And I’m hung upside down
And I’m hung upside down
Hung upside down
Hung upside down
Hung upside down, oh
Sad Memory
Soft winds blow in the summer time
Young lovers feel so free
Walking hand and hand down a shady lane
What happened to me?
What happened to me?
Did you ever love a girl
Who walked right out on you?
You should know just how I feel then,
Why I’m so blue
Why I’m so blue
How can I forget those nights
When she kissed me soft and true
And whispered words only lovers know
“I love you”
“I love you”
Well, I’ve made up my mind
I’ll find a new girl
Who’ll love me tenderly
Forget the past I left behind now
To sad memory
To sad memory
Soft winds blow in the summer time…
Good Time Boy
Now, now, now look what I’ve done
It seems that my own fun
Has all returned back now to sea
Be it all of the good times
And all of my fat lines ???
Cause if it’s right to be a good time boy
If it’s alright, feel good boy
It’s alright to be a good time boy
If it’s all right, it’s all right
Why should I mind
If I step right out of line
And I get caught by her,
Get caught by her , lucky me
Cause now I ???
That’s why they call it, call it good old do
And I can’t, I can’t change right now it seems
If it’s right to be a good time boy
If it’s alright, feel good boy
It’s alright to be a good time boy
If it’s all right, it’s all right
If it’s all right, yeah (sock it to me now)
Baby, it’s alright
Be a boy
Rock and Roll Woman
There’s a woman that you ought to know
And she’s coming singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll
She’s a joy to know
‘Neath the shadow of her soothing hand
I am free there just to make my plan
Dream of far away land
Anything close at hand
And she will follow me
Why, do you know?
Familiar places she’s been by that I know
Could it be she don’t have to try?
And tomorrow she’s a friend of mine
And the sorrow I see her face is lyin’
She’s no longer mine
She’s just hard to find
Broken Arrow
“Well, Hello Mr. Soul,
I stopped by to pick up a reason
That the thought…”
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
And when it was over it felt like a dream
They stood at the stage door and begged for scream
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain
Did you see them?
Did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
Eighteen years of American dream
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
His mother had told a trip was a fall
And don’t mention babies at all
Did you see him?
Did you see him?
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
[Drum rolls]
The streets were lined for the wedding parade
The queen wore the white gloves
The county of song
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
They married for peace and were gone
Did you see them?
Did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
[Clarinet waltz]
[Heartbeat]
On the Way Home
When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane like a smoke ring day when the wind blows
Now I won’t be back til later on if I do come back at all
But you know me and I miss you now
In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me
When the change came and you had a chance to see through me
Though the other side is just the same, you can tell my dream is real
Because I love you; can you see me now?
Though we rush ahead to save our time
We are only what we feel
And I love you; can you feel it now?
It’s So Hard to Wait
I just can’t seem to get moving
Love me enough to begin
And I’ll never forget you
I hope that you care
More than a little for me
It’s so hard to wait
If I should stand and stare
Don’t be alarmed at me
It’s so hard to wait
I just can’t seem to get moving
Love me enough to be given
And I’ll never forget you
Pretty Girl Why?
Like the ghost of someone dear she comes to haunt me in my sleep
Still I’m able to sincerely give away her heart for keeps
Pretty girl why? Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why? Pretty girl why?
There she leaves me twice lonely as I was but yesterday
Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts so near yet so far away
Pretty girl why? Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why? Pretty girl why?
The minstrel boy has gone to war now burdened with his father’s sword
Still she doesn’t see how she can give him peace amidst the whole
Pretty girl why? Pretty girl why not love me?
Pretty girl why? Pretty girl why?
Four Days Gone
I met two kind people on the road
I was parched and dry from the cold
“I’ve been traveling four days and nights, sir,
And I do want to thank you for the ride, sir,
And the soup that your wife made tasted fine—
If it’s all the same I’ll be on my way at the next turn
And I’m three days shy of my town
And my baby’s waiting I hope, sir,
After fifteen trucks and an old Ford,
And the government’s madness, I ran away
And I hate to say I can’t tell you my name”
Cause I’m four days gone into running
I can’t even go home
Take my baby and roam
I got reason to live
I got the things I can’t give
And I’m four days gone into running
Carefree Country Day
I get up in the morning with a cock-a-doodle-do
I get myself together if and when I choose
I’m just bucking time without a reason or rhyme
Oh what a wonderful way to spend a carefree country day
Oh, I’ve got to have it that way
I best get all my chores done, got some friends a-coming by
There’s more to country living than just trying to get by
I’m just bucking time without a reason or rhyme
Oh what a wonderful way to spend a carefree country day
Mmhm, I’ve got to have it that way
I make myself a living of off hauling old junk
The wagon that I’m driving came from Happy Walker’s dump
I’m just bucking time without a reason or rhyme
Oh what a wonderful way to spend a carefree country day
Oh yeah, I’ve got to have it that way
Special Care
You there in the window looking at me
Do you think I’m blowing my cool, playing the fool?
You there on the corner staring at me,
Do you think I’m trouble? Would you like to shoot me down ?
What for?
Yeah, I’m tellin’ you that special care has been taken
To make you aware
I’ve been forsaken
If you don’t care they will come
And burn your house down
The Hour of Not Quite Rain
In the hour of not quite rain
When the fog was fingertip high
The moon hung suspended
In a singular sky
Deeply and beyond seeing
Not wishing to intrude
Bathed in it’s own reflection
The water mirrored the moon
The tumbling birds have now sobered
From the leaves of their nursery
Like shadowy, quiet children
Watching sleepily
Questions
Where are we going love
What are you feeling
Now that I caught my love
My love is reeling
With the questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Come on lover talk to me
When I was on my own
Chasing you down
What was it made you run
Trying to get around
The questions of a thousands dreams
What you do and what you see
Come on lover talk to me
Now that we’ve found each other
Where do we go now?
I’d like to know what you’re thinking
Answer me slowly now
The questions of a thousand dreams
What you do and what you see
Come on lover talk to me, yeah
I am a Child
I am a child I last a while
You can’t conceive of the pleasure in my smile
You hold my hand, rough up my hair
Its lots of fun to have you there
I gave to you now you give to me
I like to know what you learned
The sky is blue and so is the sea
What is the color when black is burned?
What is the color?
You are a man; you understand
You pick me up and you lay me down again
You make the rules; you say what’s fair
It’s lots of fun to have you there
I gave to you now you give to me
I’d like to know what you have planned
The sky is blue and so is the sea
What is the color when black is burned?
What is the color?
I am a child I last a while…
Merry-Go-Round
Upside down on a merry-go-round
Now just look at me
Straining your eyes to see just steady old me
No it’s a lover you see
Not just standing, lover, not just to be
Someone you can call neighborly
What in the world did you do
To make me love just you?
What did you do to me?
What you did to me…
This time, next time whichever may be
There’s something I can’t deny
I’m telling you now your love has socked it to me
It’s like a sweet lullaby
A melody that could only imply
Loving you is certainly worth a try
What in the world did you do
To make me love just you?
What did you do to me?
What you did to me….
What did you do to me?

Kind Woman
Got a good reason for loving you
It’s an old fashioned sign
I kind of get to feeling like, mmm,
You know when I fell in love the first time
Kind woman, won’t you love me tonight?
The look in your eyes…
Kind woman, don’t leave me lonely tonight
Please say it’s alright
Remember once before hearing the old folks say
Love’s an ageless old rhyme
Nowadays the saying depends so much on
The kind of woman that you find
Kind woman, won’t you love me tonight?
The look in your eyes…
Kind woman, don’t leave me lonely tonight
Please say it’s alright
Kind woman, won’t you love me tonight?
The look in your eyes…
Kind woman, don’t leave me lonely tonight
Please say it’s alright
