GOODBYE MEDIA MAN Parts 1&2 (Tom Fogerty)

Veröffentlichung im April 1971

Charts: D #36

Goodbye media man
Goodbye media man
Goodbye media
Goodbye media
Man.

You spread your paranoia
All over this land
Creating situations
You don’t understand
If we could get next to you
And turn you around
The peace that we all could share
Would get off the ground
Goodbye media man.

Believing in your power
Is what you can do
You gotta help us to change the world
There’s nothing to lose
C’mon and do the people’s will
Be the master of our hate
You gotta help us to bring us the changes
To the master of our hate
Goodbye media man.

You better stop flashing pictures of the people
Start flashing pictures of the power.

Goodbye media man
Goodbye media man
Goodbye media
Goodbye media
Man.

THE LEGEND OF ALCATRAZ (Tom Fogerty)

In the days of 1890
Lived an idian boy I’m told
Who sat upon the rock to prophesize
And he spoke of golden bridges
And a black cloud up above
And the birds in the water
And a circle from the sky.

And he went down to the valley
And he went down through the trees
And he went down to the people
Telling everyone he’d meet
But no one would believe him
No one would believe him.

In the year of 1970
Lived an idian boy I’m told
Who sat upon the rock to criticize
And he saw the golden bridges
And he saw the black clouds up above
And the birds in the water
And a circle from the sky.

And he went down to the valley
And he went down through the trees
And he went down to the people
Telling everyone he’d meet
But no one would believe him
No one would believe him.

Why don’t you tell me
Who is the winner
Tell me
Who is the winner
Tell me
Who is the winner
In the game of life.

LADY OF FATIMA (Tom Fogerty)

Lady of Fatima
I was just a schoolboy in my jeans
Lady of Fatima
I was just a schoolboy in my jeans
Lady of Fatima
I didn’t see your eyes, your eyes.

Lady of the letter
Nineteen hundred sixty and the word
Lady of the letter
Nineteen hundred sixty and a word
Lady of the letter
You really snowed me yes you did.

Lady of the season
It’s coming and you better look around
Lady of the season
It’s coming and you better look around
Lady of the season
You better step aside.

Lady of Fatima
You better have a reason what you said
Lady of Fatima
You better have a reason what you said
I saved a soul for you, for you.

BEAUTY IS UNDER THE SKIN (Tom Fogerty)
-Dedicated to Gail-

The beauty is under the skin I said
The beauty is under the skin
Don’t wanna hear it but you know it’s true
The beauty is under the skin.

The cover is holdin‘ the book I said
The cover is holdin‘ the book
Don’t wanna hear it but you know it’s true
The cover is holdin‘ the book.

A pretty face has got it’s space
But a beautiful lady has got my place.

The beauty is under the skin I said
The beauty is under the skin
Don’t wann hear it but you know it’s true
The beauty is under the skin.

WONDERING (Tom Fogerty)

Third from the sun
Third from the sun
There must be others
That are looking around and
Wondering, wondering
Oh, yeah, oh yeah.

There on a place
Way out in space
There must be others
That are looking around and
Wondering, wondering
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Life on a star
Oh, on a star
There must be others
That are looking around and
Wondering, wondering
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

MY PRETTY BABY (Tom Fogerty)

My pretty baby
You know she loves me all night long
My pretty baby
You know she loves me all night long
My pretty baby
Loves me all night long
Keeps my covers and my pillow warm
My pretty baby
You know she loves me all night long.

My pretty mama
You know she treats me doggone fine
My prett mama
You know she treats me doggone fine
My pretty mama
Treats me doggone fine
Fills me up and brings me summertime
My pretty mama
You know she treats me doggone fine.

TRAIN TO NOWHERE (Tom Fogerty)

I’m leaving on the railroad
I’m going down the line
I’m leaving on the railroad
I’m going down the line
Don’t wanna take your payload
I ain’t got no time.

I’m leaving on the hour
Of the midnight sun
I’m leaving on the hour
Of the midnight sun
Gonna take my powder
Gonna take my gun.

Stop messing with me momma
Stop messing with my brain
Stop fussin‘ with me momma
Cause I gotta catch that train
Catch that train, catch that train.

I’ll catch that train to nowhere
Still going down the line
I’ll catch that train to nowhere
Still going down the line
I gotta catch that train, oh,
Or I may lose my mind.

EVERYMAN (Tom Fogerty)

Comes a time when everyman
Must make a stand
And he feels it in his heart
And in his hand
And he knows that every move
May be his last
But he don’t care because he can’t
Live in his past
And if I do, and if I do, and if I do
I’m gonna spend my life with you.

There’s a place where everyman
Has got to go
And he’s driven by the flame
Within his soul
Do you wonder if he’ll
Stumble on the key
Well everyman is just like you
Is just like me
And if I do, and if I do, and if I do
I’m gonna spend my life with you.

THE ME SONG (Tom Fogerty)

I don’t want to be
No rock’n’roll star
I don’t want to ride
No Cadilac car
I don’t want to be
What you are
I just want to be me
Me, me, me.

I don’t want to buy
No leather pants boy
I don’t want to be
No no nobody’s toy
Cause I can’t have no pride
No pride without joy
I just want to be
Me, me, me.

I don’t want to be
No genius at dawn
I just want to sing
A rock’n’roll song
So if you’ll let it go
It won’t take too long
Cause I just want to be
Me, me, me.

CAST THE FIRST STONE (Tom Fogerty)

Let he
He without sin
He without sin
Cast the first stone.

Hey you
You with your halo
You Mister Halo
Why don’t you cast the first stone?

And if you never ever
Do no wrong
Then you must be an angel
And you don’t belong.

Hey you
You Madam Sunday
You Madam Monday
Cast the first stone.

And if you never ever
Do no wrong
Then you must be an angel
And you don’t belong.

Hey you
You without sin
You without sin
Cast the first stone.

HERE STANDS THE CLOWN (Tom Fogerty)

Here stands the clown
Spotlight curtains all around
We don’t see that that
Clown is me
Here stands the clown.

Here stands the fool
Locomotion laying down the rule
We don’t see that that
Fool is me
Here stands the fool.

Here stands the man
Quotes the book he made
With his own hand
We don’t see that that
Man is me
Here stands the man.

FORTY YEARS (Tom Fogerty)

Forty Years with labor on this chain
Working much too hard for what we gain
You and I, we taste the bitter end
Working forty years for another man.

Got no name, just a number in the book
Friendly faces hide the royal look
Nothing down on you, it’s such a shame
Working forty years for another man.

Forty years, forty long long years
Give the man your blood and sweat and tears.

Cash your check on friday afternoon
Sunday night your money is gone too soon
For your children, will it be the same?
Working forty years for another man.

Forty years, forty long long years
Give the man your blood and sweat and tears
Cash your cheque on friday afternoon
Sunday night your money is gone too soon
For your children will it be the same
Working forty years for another man
Working forty years for another man
Working forty years for another man.

BLACK JACK JENNY (Tom Fogerty)

Black Jack Jenny, you ain’t no friend of mine
Black Jack Jenny, you ain’t no friend of mine
Black Jack Jenny, I just can’t get behind you

Working in the bars in Reno
Lost Babe’s Flash Casino
Fast-hand dealing, money-fallin‘ feeling
Gonna get the best of you

Black Jack Jenny, dying for a penny
You’re so jive jive quennie
Your cheatin‘ don’t bother me.

Black Jack Jenny, you never give a twenty-one
Black Jack Jenny, you never give a twenty-one
Black Jack Jenny, you’re bad luck sends me on the way.

ROCKY ROAD BLUES (Bill Monroe)

Well, the road is rocky but it won’t be rocky long
Well, the road is rocky but it won’t be rocky long
Well, another man has got my baby and gone.

I got the blues I’m a-wearin‘ the soles right out of my shoes
I got the blues I’m a-wearin‘ the soles right out of my shoes
My baby ran away and left me with the doggone blues.

You gonna left this water til the old old well runs dry
You gonna left this water til the old old well runs dry
You never miss your baby until she says goodbye.

FACES, PLACES, PEOPLE (Tom Fogerty)

There are faces I have known
Places I have gone
Loves nd littele books I’ve thrown away
There are times that I remember
Times that I forget
Faces, places, people passing by.

There are names that run together
Games go on forever
Games that someone really keepin‘ score?
There are times that I remember
Times that I forget
Names and games and scorecards passing by.

There are rules that seems so ancient
Schools of mindless patience
Teachers only looking for their pay
There are times that I remember
Times that I forget
Rules of school and rulers passing by.

Get crazy, get crazy,
Get crazy, baby, get crazy with me.

Too much for horizon, got enough rhythm and blues.

Get funky, baby, get funky with me
Get lazy, get lazy
Get lazy, baby, get lazy with me.

Who’s next in line?
Well, I just couldn’t take it, couldn’t make it no more

Forcing all your pain.

WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW (Tom Fogerty)

Well, I’m tired of the way things been going
I’m searching my head for the path
Saw the grail in her hand at the drive-inn
When it suddenly don’t go to me.

What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?

Felt the warmth of her eyes at the playground
When I turned just to see she was gone
But my senses are saying that it happened
An angel had strolled down my mind

What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
What will tomorrow bring me?

What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?

SHE LA LA LA (Tom Fogerty)

The wrong kind of groove and it just wouldn’t work that way
The wrong kind of move and I knew that it wouldn’t pay
It was the right thing to prove but it just couldn’t be that way
Well let me, let me tell you that I really really wish it could.

It was the right time of day but it just wasn’t meant to be
The right thing to say but it just wasn’t meant for me
It was a real scene today and the folks just let it be
Well let me, let me tell you that I really really wish I could.

She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la

It was a hope in my mind that pushed me on my feet
The faith in my mind that pushed me on my feet
It was a step that I take, say, can you take it too?
Well let me, let me tell you that I really really hope you do too.

She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la la la la la la, she la la la la la.

And I love you, yes, I love you

GET UP (Tom Fogerty)

Get up, go down,
Do the job well, be true to your heart
Get up, be fair
Do your best yet, that’s all you can do.

And you’ll find someday when you’re seaking
You’ll find somehow in your way
And you’ll find someday when you’re thinking
You won’t have so much to say.

Get up, lay back
Take a good look, that’s your art form.

And you’ll find someday when you’re seaking
You’ll find somehow in your way
And you’ll find someday when you’re thinking
You won’t have so much to say.

Get up, lay back
Take a good look, that’s your art form.
Get up, look out
Here’s another day, don’t you waste it.

THERE WAS A TIME (Tom Fogerty)

There was a time when I thought I would make it
And there was a time when I thought that I knew
But now I find that that same old used to be
It’s gone and there is no easy road.

There was a time long ago, do you remember?
We used to have so much fun, so much fun
But now I find that those good old days are gone
Oh no, there ain’t no easy way.

Don’t shed no tears for the hope in your life
They’re only faded memories.

There was a time when I thought I could change things
There was a time when I thought I could do
But youth was just another in my life
Oh no, there ain’t no easy road.

Don’t shed no tears for the hope in your life
They’re only faded memories.

There was a time when I thought I could change things
There was a time when I thought I could do
But youth was just another day in my life
Oh no, there ain’t no easy road.

SHOWDOWN (Tom Fogerty)

Do you ever get offended by the way things never change?
Did you ever try religion but you just get by the pain?
There’s gonna be a show down, gonna be a show down
There’s gonna be a show down comin‘ ‚round right here.

Did you ever meet a beggar that was once a rich man’s son?
Did you ever see a lady who was gypsy on the run?
There’s gonna be a show down, gonna be a show down
There’s gonna be a show down comin‘ ‚round right here.

Well I know you think I’m crazy and that time just fades away
Well, of this thing I’m certain, see the crossroads every day
There’s gonna be a show down, gonna be a show down
There’s gonna be a show down, there’s gonna be a show down, yeah.

CHAMPAGNE LOVE (Tom Fogerty & Doug Clifford)

I don’t wanna go out on Friday night, baby,
with the boys
And I don’t wanna sit around and watch those football games
I don’t wanna go out and mess around, no no, on no midnight ride
All I wanna do is lay right here with you.

With your champagne love, with your champagne love
With your champagne love, champagne love

I don’t wanna go out on Saturday night, baby; it’s my choice
I don’t wanna be out chasin, wastin‘ my time
I don’t wanna go out and hang my head down, no, in some funky bar
All I wanna do is lay right here with you

With your champagne love, with your champagne love
With your champagne love, champagne love

Oh with your champagne love, with your champagne love
With your champagne love, champagne love

WHY ME (Tom Fogerty)

When things go wrong and you keep on tryin‘
But the technical don’t work out right
You call up the lawyer but the phone is busy
And you don’t get to sleep tonight.

Why me ? Why me ?
Why me ? Why me ?

You jump in the car and you head for the highway
But the gate sits some big oh-wee
You find your hotline but it heats up your last time
And friends own a luxury.

Why me ? Why me ?
Why me ? Why me ?

I fought the pack off a silver dollar but the silver just turned to gold
I fought the law with a Dennis Holler but they pulled me back away.

You find yourself in the midst of the crossroads
With the lights all turning red
Right in the pocket, right in the south
The purse, it drops on your hand

Why me ? Why me ?
Why me ? Oh why me ?

Uh huh huh …

I fought the pack off a silver dollar but the silver just turned to gold
I fought the law with a Dennis Holler but they pulled me back away

Well, you go your way and I go my way
The world keeps spinnin‘ ‚round
You got the answer in your big back-a pocket
Just start puttin‘ in down

Why me ? Why me ?
Why me ? Oh why me ?
I know, you know, why me ?

Why me ? Why me ?
Why me ? Why me ?

REAL REAL GONE (Van Morisson)

I’m real real gone, I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You’re a friend of mine and real, real gone.

Oh the radio, music comin‘ in here, the Sam Coe’s voice
Well I know I don’t have any choice
Just the way it is and I’m real, I’m real, real, real gone.

I can’t stand up by myself
Don’t you know babe, I need your help, hey
You’re a friend of mine and I’m real, I’m real, real gone.

I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You’re a friend of mine and real, real, real gone.

Some people say that you can make it on your own
They say you can make it if you try
But I know better now, you can’t stand up alone
Baby, baby, that is why I’m real, real gone.

Well I’m dancin‘, dancin‘ till my, till my body’s soakin‘ wet
Till I’m completely filled with sweat, well
Once I start it I’m just, I’m just real, real, real gone

I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You’re a friend of mine and real gone.

Well I’m dancin‘, dancin‘ till my, till my body’s soakin‘ wet
Till I’m completely filled with sweat, well
Once I start it I’m just, I’m just real, real, real gone

I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You’re a friend of mine and real gone.

Well the music’s playin‘ on the radio
Oh but I can’t dance and stare in space
When my feet get tipsy, touch your face
You’re a friend of mine and real, real gone
Help me stand up, help me stand up all by myself
You’re a friend of mine and real real gone.

TRICIA SUZANNE (Tom Fogerty)

Her name, Tricia, Tricia Suzanne
I said her name, Tricia, Tricia Suzanne
And if anybody would’ve told me just three short months ago
That I would ever fall in love again.

And then one day she came my way
Down on Main Street, down on Main Street
Down in W.C., way down in W.C
Oh baby, what you do to me, yeah.

Her name, Tricia, Tricia Suzanne.

Her name, Tricia, Tricia Suzanne
I said her name, Tricia, Tricia Suzanne
I said her name, name, name, name, name, Tricia Suzanne
I said her name, name, name, name, oh Tricia Suzanne.

Oh Tricia, oh Tricia, oh Tricia …

MYSTERY TRAIN (Parker, Philips)

Train arrived, sixteen coaches long
Train arrived, sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train got my baby and gone.

Train, train, comin‘ ‚round around the bend, ‚round around the bend
Train, train, comin‘ ‚round around the bend, ‚round around the bend
Well it took my baby but it never will again, no not again.

Train, train, comin‘ down down the line, down do the line
Train, train, comin‘ down down the line, down down the line
Well it took my baby ‚cause she’s mine, all mine, all mine, all mine, all mine.

Train, train, rollin‘ around the bend
Train, train, rollin‘ around the bend
Well it took my baby but it never will again.

DEAL IT OUT (Hans Olson)

When it’s over and the smoke clears, I’ll be standin‘
When the last card’s been dealt from this deck
When the last shot’s been fired through the haze of all this mess
I’ll be ready for what I’ve come to expect

So deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out)
Deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out)
Deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out)
Deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out) deal it out

When it’s over and the smoke clears, I’ll be standin‘
When the last word, last steel turn to dust
When the last move’s been made in this game of life and death
I’ll remember who I know I can trust

OPEN THE WINDOW (Kim Park)

Open the window and let in the mornin‘ light
I stand here alone and think of the lonely night
I remember the fight that we had, why did I treat you so bad?
I feel so empty now without you

I looked at the sky and noticed a shade of blue
Makes me think of your eyes and wish I was holding you
When I think of the plans that we made and all the dues that we paid
Life is so empty now without you

I go to the phone and I dial your number again
But it rings and it rings till it drops from my tremblin‘ hand
I put it back on the stand and look at your picture again

Open the window and let in the mornin‘ light
I stand here alone and think of the lonely night
When will I see you again? Have I lost my only friend?
Life is so empty now without you
Life is so empty now without you

I go to the phone and I dial your number again
But it rings and it rings till it drops from my tremblin‘ hand
I put it back on the stand and look at your picture again

YOU MOVE ME (Van Morrison)

I like my coffee in the mornin‘, crazy ‚bout my tea at night
I like my coffee in the mornin‘, crazy ‚bout my tea at night
Don’t get my sugar three times a day, oh you know I don’t feel right

Oh I know my hound dog when I hear him bark
Oh I know my hound dog when I hear him bark
And I know my baby when I feel her in the dark

Well I’m here and I’m ready, baby, your move
Have my bags by my knees, you know I’m ready to groove
Even though I’m tired, I’m wearin‘, wastin‘ the wall
Well I just can’t seem, I can’t seem to leave you alone, you know why

Well I’m a big kind of guy, you know I like to keep things new
Well I’m a big kind of guy, you know I like to keep things new
But I love you baby, when you call me the Loveable Q.

You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
All right.

THE SECRET (Tom Fogerty)

Some people say I’m a brother’s shadow but that don’t matter to me
Some people say I’m a brother’s love but that don’t matter to me
For the secret (secret) that you’d really like to know
For the secret that you’d really like to know

You don’t understand but I can’t forgive you and I hold a grudge for you
You don’t understand how I can be happy while you lock into your tears
For the secret (secret) bet you’d like to read my mind
For the secret, bet you’d like to read my mind, bet you’d like to read my mind

Get it, boys

I had a dream ‚bout the perfect woman a-knock, knockin‘ on my door
I had a dream but I was asleep, she’s comin‘ back for more
For the secret (secret) my baby’s comin‘ home tonight
For the secret, my baby’s comin‘ home tonight
Yeah the secret, my baby’s comin‘ home tonight
Oh yeah yeah the secret, my baby’s comin‘ home tonight
Well well the secret, my baby’s comin‘ home tonight
My baby’s comin‘ home tonight.

SUMMER NIGHT (Kim Park)

The moon is a silvery speck in the sky
The stars are shining bright
The breeze is blowin‘ along on my face
Oh what a beautiful night

My love is standing close by my side
I smell her sweet perfume
Her hair is glowing soft in the light
A beautiful night in June

Summer was made for lovers, I know
With all of its flowers in bloom
All of my memories of summer, it seems
Are sweet as this night in June

The sound of the crickets trills in the night
The sound of the warm wipporwill
Fills up the air with a musical knife
And gives my heart a thrill
And leaves me with such a thrill

La la la la …

Summer was made for lovers, I know
With all of its flowers in bloom
All of my memories of summer, it seems
Are sweet as this night in June.

This is the season when warmth fills the air
So long as the summer is here
Promise is made on this warm summer night
Make it summertime all of the year
Promise is made on this warm summer night
Make it summertime all of the year.

RAINBOW CAROUSEL (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

Angel came to me late last night in my dreams
And she said that things are not always what they seem
Then she told me coincidence is more than a lucky chess
It’s a sign, it’s a way to see into the light

Everything happened for a reason
Every path you follow takes you down that line
You’ve got your destination, I’ve got mine
I’ve got mine, yes I do

She took me on a trip to the land where the children run the show
She took me by the hand and led me down through the desert and the snow
When I opened up my eyes, my surprise was to look at the simple truth
There’s a path you can follow if you open up your heart

Everything happened for a reason
Every path you follow takes you down that line
You’ve got your destination, I’ve got mine
I’ve got mine, yes I do

Angel took me home, I awoke, there were flowers on my bed
My lady pulled me close and this too kept floating through my head
Angel took me home, I awoke, there were flowers on my bed
My lady pulled me close and this too kept floating through my head
Riding on the rainbow carousel

MONEY BUYS IT (FUNKY SIDE OF TOWN) (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Some walk, some talk
Money buys it on the funky side of town
You get the urge to buy it
Could there be love inside it?
Watch out, for she’ll get to you because …

Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Some walk, some talk
Some do it on the funky side of town
Just when you think you know it
That’s when you can’t control it
Watch out, for she’ll get to you because …

Long green leadin‘ me
Rollin‘ in and out from every side of town
Cold cash breaks the stash
Comin‘ down from every part of town.

Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Some walk, some talk
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town.

And she’s my Madison Square Garden, baby she’s my video girl
And she’s my night on the town in Paris, baby she’s my video girl
Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah.

She can change my channel with a flick of her finger
Turn my hue from red to green
She can change my program any time she wants to
The most exciting woman I’ve еver seen.

One in a million, baby she’s my vidеo girl
She has the face of an angel, baby she’s my video girl
And she’s the kind that you’d marry, baby she’s my video girl
Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah.

Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah.

WOMAN OF THE YEAR (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

CLEARWATER RAIN (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

Instrumantal

TEARDROPS (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

Used to be my life was filled with rainbows
Then you walked away and the world came down on me
Something inside of me tells me you want to be free
Till I can’t help but feel the …

Teardrops, teardrops fallin‘ from my eyes
Teardrops, teardrops, no more to disguise
Teardrops, teardrops fallin‘ from my eyes
Over you, over you

Used to be my life was filled with daydreams
Then you turned away and shattered every little dream I had
If you used to be so nice, now your love is colder than ice
And I never had a clue about …

Teardrops, teardrops fallin‘ from my eyes
Teardrops, teardrops, no more to disguise
Teardrops, teardrops fallin‘ from my eyes
Over you, over you

Someday I hope that soon
I’m gonna live by the light of the moon
I’ll no longer be the one with …

Teardrops, teardrops fallin‘ from my eyes
Teardrops, teardrops, no more to disguise
Teardrops, teardrops fallin‘ from my eyes
Over you, over you
Over you, over you
Over you, over you
Over you, over you.

WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

I, I look at you and you look at me
And we both know that we’ve been here before
Head, head over heels, that’s how you make me feel
I’m so far gone because we’ve been here before

No other love will ever do
No other love could be like you, baby
You are the only one that I could ever feel this way about, it’s true
Let’s fall in love

I, I look at you and you look at me
And we both know that we’ve been herе before
Head, hеad over heels, that’s how you make me feel
I’m so far gone because we’ve been here before

No other love will ever do
No other love could be like you, baby
You are the only one that I could ever feel this way about, it’s true
Let’s fall in love

I, I look at you and you look at me
And we both know that we’ve been here before.

SOMETIMES (Tom Fogerty & Randy Oda)

Wo-oh-oh sometimes, I think the sixties were better
We were all bound together, I thought that was true
And I know we can’t go back, yes I know we can’t go back
But we’d better make sure that we never forget

Every generation thinks they’ve got the answer
Every generation thinks they’ve got the news
All I ever hear is Iran, coke, and Nicaragua
We go around in circles just like monkeys in a zoo

I used to be against the war when I was younger
I used to carry signs that said „Love, peace today“
All the little children that I’d meet, I’d tell them
„Just take all the guns and bombs and throw them all away“

SLOOP JOHN B. (Brian Wilson)

We come on the sloop John B.
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did run
Drinkin‘ all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home.

So hoist up the John B’s sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home.

The first mate, he got drunk
And broke in the captain’s trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don’t you leave me alone?
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home.

So hoist up the John B’s sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home.

The poor cook, he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and ate up all of my corn
I wanna go home
Why don’t they let me go home?
This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on
I said, this is the worst trip I’ve ever been on.

We came on the sloop John B. …

UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING (Tom Fogerty)

There can be no rain without the sun
There can be no love if it’s on the run
Can you stand the weight, the unbearable lightness of being?

There can be no day without a night
There can be no left without a right
Can you stand the weight, the unbearable lightness of being?

Will the politician turn your mind around
Will you give it up or will you stand your ground?
Can you feel the heat, the unbearable lightness of being?

Goin‘ to California used to be this way
Savin‘ her rejection for another day
Can you stand the weight, the unbearable lightness of being?
