Faceless Days

SHEILA
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I used to - like a ravin' dog
Bark at anyone who gets too close
I've been cheating good men
And bad women too
There was nothing I couldn't do

You tame the fire in a wild boy
That golden cannonballs can do
You tame the fire in a wild boy
You got me running back to you

Sheila - I remember when you said
I would never let you down
Sheila - now I'm standing in the night
Just waiting to see the light
On the window of broken hearts

When you gamble you often lose
But someday you gotta win
I've been throwing the dice
Getting nothing but lies
But it comes up snake-eyes again

You tame the fire in a wild boy
That golden cannonballs can do
You tame the fire in a wild boy
You got me running back to you

Sheila - I remember when you said
I would never let you down
Sheila - now I'm standing in the night
Just waiting to see the light
On the window of broken hearts

Sheila - I remember when you said
I would never let you down
Sheila - now I'm standing in the night
Just waiting to see the light
On the window of broken hearts

BAD RHYTHM
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

One hundred new singers
Makes a hundred new travelin' songs
Movin' so fast never time to ask
Am I right am I wrong

Nothing with ???
Broken hearts down on memory lane
Makes you look for something
Something - someone to ease the pain

When you're all alone
Bet you know how it feels
??? ??? go zone
??? ??? stiletto heels

You got bad bad rhythm
Way you walk, baby, baby
Bad bad rhythm
I guess you just ???

Now that I've seen your story
Let me tell you some of mine
We can paint this town to the desperado
And bring some lizard wine

You say I'm a gangsta
Wow, got my gun and lots of time
And in the morning I'll be on the highway
Hitchin' for a ride

When you're all alone
Bet you know how it feels
??? ??? go zone
??? ??? stiletto heels

You got bad bad rhythm
Way you walk, baby, baby
Bad bad rhythm
I guess you just ???

OH WELL
(Lyrics: P.Green)
(Original release: Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On, 1969)

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Now when I talk to God you know he understands
He said stick by me and I'll be your guidin' hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

LOVE IS A LIE
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I felt so bad every time we met
Couldn't help the feeling I was using you
I felt so sad to see your eyes get wet
But believe me baby, I didn't know what to do

Baby, babe you should have known better
Baby, babe, yes, you should have known better
I know I should have told you
I know I should have told you
That love is a lie

When I was a young boy my mama said to me
If you treat women good they'll give their love to you
Well I've been a good boy remembering what she said
But I didn't know when love gets old
It makes yor heart so cold

Baby, babe I should have known better
Baby, babe, yes, I should have known better
I know you should have told me, ma
I know you should have told me
That love is a lie

I saw you today, you were smiling again
Your eyes were shining with new relief
The past is behind, it doesn't have to repeat
So baby, don't you lose that beat

Baby, babe you should have known better
I said baby babe, you should have known better
I know I should have told you
Someone should have told you
Love is a lie

Baby, babe, love is a lie
Baby, babe, love is a lie
Think a little while
Think a little while
Think a little while
Think a little while
It's a lie
Love is a lie

TRASHTOWN
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

The fortunate ones drive their motorcars
Take pretty girls to posh downtown bars
And I'm down
Down and out in trashtown
I'm feeling loose but I don't feel free
Just cockroaches keeping me company

You doubledealing dirty devil's daughter
Go find yourself some running water
My well's run dry
I'm down and out in trashtown
The nights in the gutter feel like centuries
Just a photograph and secondhand memories

In a greasy bar I watch the TV news
We're going down plain third rail blues
It's all the same
I'm down and out in trashtown
I'm killing time tryin' to burn a beer
And time is money way down here

I'm down and out
I'm down and out
I'm down and out
I'm down and out
I'm down and out
In trashtown

BACKWAY
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Hey!

I've been hazy
Ever since I saw you baby
I've been drinking alone
Trying to sober up my mind

I've been trying to get attention
I've been trying to raise the tension
With you and me, baby

Hey!

I've been lonely
Ever since I met you baby
And I feel like a jacket
Walking with no one inside

I've been trying to get attention
I've been trying to raise the tension
With you and me, baby

Hey!

I'm going inside out
The backway to your heart

Listen to me babe!

Crazy - ever since I loved you baby
I've been ??? upside down against the flow
I finally got attention
I finally got attention
With you and me babe

I'm going inside out
The backway to your heart

I've been inside out
The backway to your heart

NIGHT-TIME
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

In the morning - you wake me up babe
In the morning - you say your part
But I'm tired - I'm feeling sick babe
I gotta get up and hurry, I am late

Daytime - you say is the right time
Daytime - the right time for love
The sun is bright and birds are singing
And I got far too much to do
Right now such as my babe

In the evening - you say this is the last time
Last time you beg for love
Don't push - don't push - don't push
'Cos I'm no better than you
But everything has got its time and place

Night time - it's the time for love
Night time - I won't shut the door
Night time - I got the time for you
Night time

This morning I woke up too late again
I was sick and tired and you were gone
In the afternoon I got nothing to do babe
And believe me I was missing you
In the evening I was prayin' that
You would come back to me
I was thinking and thinking and thinking
About you all the time
And when I saw the moon
In the dark blue sky
I knew you were standing behind my door
You are the reason why

Night time - it's the time for love
Night time - I won't shut the door
Night time - I got the time for you
Night time

GUTS
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)

You're working like a primadonna
A woman of the world
But I don't need no looking glass
To see you fumble it all
Hey, hey!

So you come back here once again
Back from Babylon
Wonder if it's me or you
You're trying to ??? belong

Now you are hitchin' for a ride
To the borderline
You wanna be my woman
Be my partner in crime

Hold on - you ain't got guts
Hold on - you ain't got guts
Hold on - you ain't got guts
Hold on - you ain't got guts

You come on like forbidden fruit
In your mini skirt
Worried about your snakeskin boots
Got you little dirt
Hey, hey!

Jump on that rebel train
??? ??? ??? too
If you think you really want
Me to dance with you

Now you are hitchin' for a ride
To the borderline
You wanna be my woman
Be my partner in crime

Hold on - you ain't got guts
Hold on - you ain't got guts
Hold on - you ain't got guts
Hold on - you ain't got guts

FACELESS DAYS
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Where have you been
Where have you been so long
Where have you been
I've been waiting so long

If I would hold you now
Take you in my arms
Would you say "I've been missing you"

Faceless days lost in a maze with no door
I don't know if you know
But the doubt is on your face
Faceless days, can't find no place anymore
For you and me, my babe
We are drowning with the faceless days

Where have I been
Where have I been so long
Where have I been
All the time I should be loving you

If you would hold me now
Take me in your arms
Would I say "baby I've been missing you"

Faceless days lost in a maze with no door
I don't know if you know
But the doubt is on your face
Faceless days, can't find no place anymore
For you and me, my babe
We are drowning with the faceless days

We are drowning...
We are crying...
We are lying...
We are dying...

HOO MYSELF
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Oh, oh, oh my soul, I'm up against the wall
I can't do this, I can't do that, don't know myself at all

Oh, oh, oh mind, I'm going down the line
I'm diving deep to see my soul
And find my way to go...further on

I know I gotta find it out somehow
I know I must do it and I'm doin' it now
I now the cause and the confidence

Hoo myself - I'm gonna hoo myself

Hey, hey, what did I say, my feet are on the moon
#a6231b snow is coming down, summer afternoon

Ma, ma, oh la la, can you hear the voice of god
I got a mission, I got a plan to save the living man
...that's my plan

I know I gotta find it out somehow
I know I must do it and I'm doin' it loud
No question about it ...tonight I'm gonna hoo myself

Hoo myself - I'm gonna hoo myself

I'm doing it for you

I'm doing it for you and me
I'm doing it for you and me

I'm doing it for love

Free love, free war, free peace
Free your knees babe...cause I'm gonna hoo myself

LONE WOLF
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Once again I'm sitting in a nightrain
Looking out into the night
I feel the darkness movin' closer
A million fingers pointin' out at me

I'm only a lonely wolf
Just a lonely and a hungry wolf
Just a lonely and a hungry wolf
Just a lonely and a hungry wolf

Passin' by my old hometown
I had to turn my head away
Don't wanna think about my future
'Cause I can't even face my past

I'm only a lonely wolf
Such a lonely and a hungry wolf
Just a lonely - lonely wolf
So lonely and a hungry wolf
...howling out for love
Ooh, I'm askin' for some love

Nobody knows where I'm going
Nobody knows where I've been
Nobody hears my howling
My cryin' out into the night

The train knows where I'm going
Yes, the train knows where I've been
The train takes me through the ages
"Train take me back home now"!

SPEED UP TIME
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Can you feel the thunder in the air
The rocket's moving closer, now it's over there
I'm coming to get you, I'm coming to get you
You better beware

The lighthead is on a run
Like a fireball, he's seeking for some fun
I'm gonna rock you, I'm gonna rock you
'Til it's over and done

Oh, God I'm feeling fast
And I know it cannot last
Hey honey I'm feeling fine
I'm gonna speed up the time

C'mon, c'mon how can you wait
There's no time so don't you hesitate
We're gonna fly high
We're gonna fly high
Without greed and hate

I know I'm gonna loose you
That's what I've been getting used to
So, honey I'm feeling fine
I'm gonna speed up the time

Oh, God I'm feeling fast
And I know it cannot last
Hey honey I'm feeling fine
I'm gonna speed up the time

I know I'm gonna loose you
That's what I've been getting used to
So, honey I'm feeling fine
I'm gonna speed up the time

SEASON TO SEASON
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Gonna be a stormy weather
The sky is blue - the street is lonely
And there's nothing else to do
I'm walking alone in a stone cold night
Just walking and talking, trying to reach out
For some light into my life

It isn't right - life isn't black and #a6231b
It isn't right - I know it isn't black and #a6231b
It isn't right - I know, I know, I know,I know
Life isn't black and #a6231b

Season by season, day by day
When the sun is gone, the moon will show the way
Season by season, day by day
It's the way of nature to burn and fade away
Lord, will you tell me why?
Why can't a good love stay?

Gonna be a stormy weather
Now I know for sure
The walls are falling and I don't know the cure
We are running and hiding behind ourselves
Just talking and hawking
I know there must be something else

It isn't right - life isn't black and #a6231b
It isn't right - I know it isn't black and #a6231b
It isn't right - I know, I know, I know,I know
Life isn't black and #a6231b

Season by season, day by day
When the sun is gone, the moon will show the way
Season by season, day by day
It's the way of nature to burn and fade away
Lord, will you tell me why?
Why can't a good love stay?
Why can't it stay by me?
So Lord would you tell me why?
Why can't it stay by me?
I know I ain't asking for so much
So tell me why?

RUN WITH ME
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I'm going on down the highway
Of take and sacrifice
I'm sitting high up on a cloud babe
And I got my eyes on you
I'm going high, high in my time
Far out rambling life
I'm going down, down with the last round
But tonight is the night I fly

Babe let me take you to a raindance
Honey you might still have a chance

Run with me baby
Run with me while you can
Run with me baby
Before the world gets ahead

I was standing here and she was near
A sweet Taipei souvenir
She asked me who am I, I said "Who are you,
Don't you know what we should do"
I'm going high, high in my time
Far out rambling life
I'm going down, down with the last round
But tonight is the night I fly

So babe, let me take you to a raindance
Honey you might still have a chance

Run with me baby
Run with me while you can
Have fun with me baby
Before the world gets ahead

Take your chance and come on now
Come on now, come on now
Let me take you to a raindance
Come on now, come on now
We might still have a chance
Come on now, come on now
Let me take you to a raindance

Woow, let's go!
Run with me baby
Run with me while you can
Run with me baby
Before the world gets ahead

SENSE OF LOVE
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Won't you come soon
You sweet child of the moon
Come and bring me the light
I need to get through the night

The sense of love
Gives you a night-flight far-away
And tomorrow mornin'
Steals away your dream about me

Baby take my hand
We will find a way to reason if we can
But don't you get me wrong
When you wake up you will find me gone

The sense of love
Gives you a night-flight far-away
And tomorrow mornin'
Steals away your dream about me

The sense of love
Gives you a night-flight far-away
And tomorrow mornin'
Steals away your love from me

The sense of love
Gives you a night-flight far-away
And tomorrow mornin'
Steals away your love from me

The sense of love
Gives you a night-flight far-away
And tomorrow mornin'
Steals away your love from me
Your love from me

SHOOT YOU DOWN
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I'm walking 'round the shining downtown
I'm gonna find my relief
I got a flame burning inside
No more passion and grief

There's no one to make my blues
And I got no inspiration left to use

I'm gonna hang on booze babe
I'm gonna use it 'til the end
Come on, come one, come on, come on
'Til ya shoot me down

You're just another high flyin' birdie
With your suspenders and furs
I like your smile but I don't need nice talking
'Cause I need a good nurse

There's no one to make my blues
And I got no inspiration left to use

I'm gonna hang on booze babe
I'm gonna use it 'til the end
Come on, come one, come on, come on
'Til ya shoot me down

Ooh, babe
You dragon lady
You're dirty maybe
I'm gonna shoot ya down

I'm gonna hang on booze babe
I'm gonna use it 'til the end
Come on, come one, come on, come on
'Til ya shoot me down

Ooh, babe
You dragon lady
You're dirty maybe
I'm gonna shoot you...

NEEDS MUST
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I need a sailboat leading me to reason
I'm confused, I can feel the change of season
Oh mama mama, oh mama God
Can't take no more, would you show me what I'm for

Oh God, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Don't feel no love, but I can't hate you
Oh babe, babe, I'm so tired
There's nothing left what I once admired

Needs must - when the devil drives
Needs must - I don't need your advice
Needs must - I can't take no lies
Needs must - when the devil drives

I will find that sailboat and search me an answer
And somehow I'll be the final dancer
And when the sea is cold and the sky is blue
I'll come and offer my heart back to you

Needs must - when the devil drives
Needs must - I don't need your advice
Needs must - I can't take no lies
Needs must - when the devil drives

Needs must - when the devil drives
Needs must - I don't need your advice
Needs must - I can't take no lies
Needs must - when the devil drives

Needs must - when the devil drives
Needs must - I don't need your advice
Needs must - I can't take no lies
Needs must - when the devil drives
 

INDIAN WARRIOR
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

An old indian warrior stands on a hill
On the only land which is a holy place still
Though the glory is gone and the children have fun
With the things that used to be valuable before

He looks down below, remembers the buffalos and bows
And he knows but don't understand
And he don't wanna learn to live with closed windows
As the #a6231b man life goes

Like the indian warrior looks up to the sky
I look at us, my friend, and I still don't know why
The stars keep turning and the land remains
But, I'm afraid that nothing will ever be the same
As the times before, the times we had before

We are indian warriors too, we keep our pride
But sometimes our road becomes wide
And we have to find our own hill to hide
From the fear that is always beside us

Like the indian warrior looks up to the sky
I look at us, my friend, and I still don't know why
The stars keep turning and the land remains
But, I'm afraid that nothing will ever be the same

Like the indian warrior looks up to the sky
I look at us, my friend, and I still don't know why
The stars keep turning and the land remains
But, I'm afraid that nothing will ever be the same
As the times before, as the times we had before

Where have you been
Where have you been so long
Where have you been

If I would hold you now

Faceless days lost in a maze with no door

Faceless days, can't find no place anymore

We are drowning with the faceless days

Where have I been
Where have I been so long

All the time I should be loving you

If you would hold me now
Take me in your arms
Would I say "baby I've been missing you"

Faceless days lost in a maze with no door
I don't know if you know
But the doubt is on your face
Faceless days, can't find no place anymore
For you and me, my babe

We are lying with the faceless days

AIN'T NO LOVE
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)

I'm a red Corvette on a saturday night
A lightning bolt out a clear blue sky
All revved up at the traffic lights
Ready for love and never say die

Once I had me the sweetest woman
She kicked me out without no keys
Bartender said "man you had it comin'"
Cryin' into my beer, oh man not me

I play my song for the midnight ladies
On my silver slide trombone
I'm sure Bobby "Blue" he won't mind
No one here likes to be alone

I tell you man. one card is missin'
Five to one it's the queen of hearts
I sure could use me a whole lotta kissin'
I've done my time, just need a new start

I'm a blue eyed boy very far from home
Knowing I can't take much more
Like a dinosaur thru this town I roam
Crashing on the bar room floor

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

There ain't no love in the heart of the city
Don't you know that song, if you dont' it's a pity
Can't say no more

Used memories

MAKE MY DAY

You strike like lightning
Straight into my mind
Your love is like an old wine
It poisons me blind

Make my day, make my day and shake my night
Make my day, make my day and make things right
Would you keep my worried heart from falling apart
'Cos your love will make my day

Like an eagle's feathers
Lying on the ground
I need every little good sign
Oh lord, I need to see you, yes I do

Make my day, make my day and shake my night
Make my day, make my day and make things right
Would you keep my worried heart from falling apart
And your love will make my day

Baby, shake my nights, shake my nights and roll my world
Turn the tide, that's all I want from you girl
Come on, baby come on 'cos I'm here for you
To hand you the stars and the ocean blue

Ooh, if you make my day
Ooh, if you make my day

KILL CITY BLUES
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)

Take a good look around, see those eyes?
Can you hear them howling on a winter's night
A pack of wolves behind our backs
I think I know by now how it must feel
Caught in a spider's web it's a lousy deal
Tracked down where ever you go
Tracked down where ever you may go
There isn't much to choose

So many stories, fairytales that have been told
Made me cross the ocean for my share of the gold
Yeah, yeah like in the days of olde

Been trying very hard to ape the local style
You can do what you want, but don't forget to smile
You smile, don't wanna feel like an exile

Stand in line, don't go breaking rules
Stand in line, an offer you can't refuse
You ain't got much to choose...
It's the kill city blues

No matter how you feel, better learn one thing and fast
There ain't no use to cry, I found it out at last
You see, down here we need no past

Stand in line, don't go breaking rules
Stand in line, an offer you can't refuse
You ain't got much to choose...
It's the kill city blues

Kill City Blues, Yeah

Stand in line, don't go breaking rules
Stand in line, an offer you can't refuse
You ain't got much to choose...
It's the kill city blues

LOVE IS A LIE
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

I felt so bad every time we met
Couldn't help the feeling I was using you
I felt so sad to see your eyes get wet
But believe me baby, I didn't know what to do

Baby, babe you should have known better
Baby, babe, yes, you should have known better
I know I should have told you
I know I should have told you
That love is a lie

When I was a young boy my mama said to me
If you treat women good they'll give their love to you
Well I've been a good boy remembering what she said
But I didn't know when love gets old
It makes yor heart so cold

Baby, babe I should have known better
Baby, babe, yes, I should have known better
I know you should have told me, ma
I know you should have told me
That love is a lie

I saw you today, you were smiling again
Your eyes were shining with new relief
Now that you've found it, baby keep that beat
The past is behind, it doesn't have to repeat

Baby, babe you should have known better
I said baby babe, you should have known better
I know I should have told you
Someone should have told you
It's a lie

Baby babe you should know why, baby baby, I call it a lie
Think a little while
Think a little while
Think a little while
Think a little while

LOVE, UNDERSTANDING & A HELPING HAND
(Lyrics: H.Leiden)

Love and understanding and a helping hand

You don't have to speak Latin or Chinese
Or come to my door crawling on your knees
No, you don't have to know how to sing
To make my heart go ring-a-ding-a-ling

I gotta capture the emotion
I have the passion and devotion

All I need is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand
All I want is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand

You don't need a wig to be a pretty sight
Or pump'em up with silicone to make things right
No, it doesn't help if you live in the hills
'Cos I've never been a sucker for any cheap thrills

I gotta capture the emotion
I have the passion and devotion

All I need is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand
All I want is a rock n' roll band
Love, understanding and a helping hand

I gotta capture the emotion
I have the passion and devotion

Love - love, understanding and a helping hand
Love - love, understanding and a helping hand
Love - love, understanding and a helping hand
Love - love, understanding and a helping hand

LOWDOWN MAN
(Lyrics: H.Leiden/T.Roudi/A.Niven/E.Kramer)

Oh darling when I saw you tonight
You were the only huge mama in sight, said yep
I wanted to taste your sweet honey
All it takes is just a little bit of money, alright, your place, not mine

A man's go to do, got to do what he must
I didn't have the money but I surely had the lust
Oh well, you can't please them all god damn
I know what I am

A lowdown man, that's what I am
Just a lowdown man

A dude came in he had a gun
I jumped through the window and started to run
I'm wanted in love, wanted in hate
Wanted in all them 58 states, I said huh, ain't that great

A man's go to do, got to do what he must
I may have been broke but I've never been bust
Oh well, you can't please them all god damn
You know what I am

A lowdown man, that's what I am
Just a lowdown man

Just a lowdown man
Lowdown man
Lowdown man

OH WELL, A YOUNG MAN
(Lyrics: (P.Green), (M.Allison))

Oh well, a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said, a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days

But you know in the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people they stepped back
When a young man walked by

But you know, nowadays it's the old man
Who's got all the money

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't help about the shape I'm in

You better save some Jack
'Cause the young man's back!

FREEDOM CHILD
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

She's not the kind of an angel baby
That you've always been waiting to find
She's too much of a rebel maybe
But she'll always be a good friend of mine

Freedom child
Stay wild
Freedom child
Keep your pride
Freedom child, freedom child
Stay wild

There are times when she has her low days
And her heart is feeling black and blue
That's the time she takes to the highway
And never once cries over you

Freedom child
Stay wild
Freedom child
Keep your pride
Freedom child, freedom child
Stay wild

Freedom child
Stay wild
Freedom child
Keep your pride
Freedom child, freedom child
Stay wild

MEAN STEPMOTHER
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

Pleased to meet you welcome to the show
Gonna take a ride down the wild frontiers
Stayin' up for days
Let me take you to the top

Here is somebody I want you to meet
My black heart queen mama Bad Dream
You may kiss her feet
Let me take you to the top

Mean stepmother mean mutha
I'm just a hired hand
Mean stepmother mean mutha
I'm just a hired hand

Pleased to see you comin' back for more
Wanna take a ride to the other side?
It's time for goodbyes
Let me take you to the door

Mean stepmother mean mutha
I'm just a hired hand
Mean stepmother mean mutha
I'm just a hired hand

Mean stepmother mean mutha
I'm just a hired hand
Mean stepmother mean mutha
I'm just a hired hand

BURN IT DOWN
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

Close to the sky
Kissing the ground
Hand me my freedom
Don't make a sound

Cadillac smiles
Crocodile tears
A chain of pearls
Made of wasted years

You're so sorry for the things that you did
For the devilish laughter, the truth that you hid
Don't you worry, it don't matter anymore
I walk out of your life as I walk out of the door

Burn it down
Burn it down
Down to the ground
The candle of truth
Burn it down

My trust and faith
Had been misplaced
All golden memories
Have been erased

Please say farewell
To partnership
Before we sink or are blown to bits

You're so sorry for the things that you did
For the devilish laughter, the truth that you hid
Don't you worry, it don't matter anymore
I walk out of your life as I walk out of the door

Burn it down
Burn it down
Down to the ground
The candle of truth
Burn it down

EVIL
(Lyrics: C.Burnett)
(Original release: Howlin' Wolf - Moanin' In The Moonlight, 1959)

Long way from home
Can't sleep at night
Grab your telephone
You know something ain't right

That's evil, evil going on
I'm warning you brother
You better watch your happy home

Long way from home
Can't sleep at all
Feels like a mule's kicking
In your stall

That's evil, evil going on
I'm warning you brother
You better watch your happy home

Long way from home
Can't sleep at all
Feels like a mule's kicking
In your stall

That's evil, evil going on
I'm warning you brother
You better watch your happy home

SUNFLOWER
(Lyrics: T.Roudi/H.Leiden)


I've drawn circles in the water
Watched the ocean start to boil
Felt the pebbles melting under my feet

I drew the line into quicksand
Took a night flight to nowhere
Bid farewell to the flaming city streets

Join me in the hour of the sunflower
Tell me it's alright, it's alright
Can you tell me it's alright

I've spent my hours in silence
In the corner of the losers
Like the centre of a dead universe

I've sold my last shiny diamond
My very last ray of hope
Watched my life take a turn from bad to worse

Join me in the hour of the sunflower
Tell me it's alright, it's alright
That I can sleep tonight

Feel the power of the sunflower

I've spent my hours in silence
In the corner of the losers
Watched my life take a turn from bad to worse

GOODBYE
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

After the goldrush came the hollow days
When the walls came tumblin' down
Winter arrived with it's icy waves
Even losers left town

Goodbye
I know something is dying
Goodbye
Goodbye my love

Take a look out, take a look out of the window
I wonder wonder wonder where all have gone
All my friends once so numerous
Now there's no one around

Goodbye
I know something is dying
Goodbye
Goodbye my love

It's time for us to say goodbye
Remember the good times
Forget about the rest
I didn't mean to bring your high hopes down this way
I hope you will forgive me someday

Yeah, yeah, goodbye
I know something is dying
Goodbye
Goodbye my love

Yeah, yeah, but this is it, the kings call
Babe goodbye

KING OF THE BEGGARS
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

Born under hard-luck stars
Was a true child of Scorpio
Took a stranglehold of his destiny
Earned his gloomy halo

His empire built on greed and fear
On his fellowman's agony
Made him a legend in the streets
Escaping death and reality

Nobody will talk
Nobody knows
The king of the beggars
Just comes and goes

And a king he never forgives

Brutus sitting to his left
Judas sitting to his right
Betrayal riding shotgun
The king falls down and dies

Born under hard-luck stars
Was a true child of Scorpio
Took a stranglehold of his destiny
Earned his gloomy halo

Nobody will talk
Nobody knows
The king of the beggars
Just comes and goes

REAP WHAT I'VE SOWED
(Lyrics: Climax)
(Original release: Climax Blues Band - A Lot Of Bottle, 1970)

Working for a man down in the city
Life is passing by it's a terrible pity
Well I payed my dues, in the heat, well it's a long hard road
Guess I'm gonna reap what I have sowed

Drinking in a bar my friends all around me
It's the smell of my money is how they found me
Well I payed my dues, in the heat, well it's a long hard road
Guess I'm gonna reap what I have sowed

Lying in my bed, my baby beside me
She's trying to do her best to pacify me
Well I payed my dues, in the heat, well it's a long hard road
Guess I'm gonna reap what I have sowed

THUNDER PEOPLE
(Lyrics: H.Leiden/T.Roudi)

You're crying for a dream
Stayin' awake on top of Black Hill
Dreaming of Wakinyan
Heyoka power's what you crave

Let the thunder roll
Let the lighting flash
Let the world know that you say no
Thunder people
We will never go
Thunder people
We will never go

O great Thunderbird
Freedom image, rebel dream
Guardian of truth
All wild spirits know what I mean

Let the thunder roll
Let the lighting flash
Let the world know that you say no
Thunder people
We will never go
Thunder people
We will never go

Cry for a dream
Cry for a dream
Cry for a dream
Cry for a dream
Fly!
Thunder people
We will never go

GROOVELANDS
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

Elevate your soul
We're leaving
Goodbye to low life
It's time for groovelands now

Take my hand and we can turn it
Upside down and inside out
In groovelands, yeah

You don't have to say a word, my love
Your movement's talk as colours turn to light

Untangle yourself, free your mind
Join the trip on the groovelands mothership

Take my hand and we can turn it
Upside down and inside out
In groovelands, yeah

You don't have to say a word, my love
Your movement's talk as colours turn to light

We can reach a higher ground up above
In groovelands, babe, in groovelands

You don't have to say a word, my love
Your movement's talk as colours turn to light

We can reach a higher ground up above
In groovelands, babe, in groovelands for the night

MAGIC
(Lyrics: T.Roudi)

Hey why don't we leave
This golden trap of generations
Afraid to live
We must go for the things the eye cannot see
The mind can't comprehend

Baby, baby, baby
There's magic - in the mystic -and the bizarre
Baby, baby, don't forget to remember who we are
Who we really are

We are the living
Livin' and loving
Makers of the magic, don't you know
We are the living
Livin' and loving
Makers of the magic, baby let's go

Now what good is lust?
If it is not the lust for life
Oh, if it's greed
You can learn from the legends old
Listen to your heart and dare

Baby, baby, baby
There's magic - in the mystic -and the bizarre
Baby, baby, don't forget to remember who we are
Who we really are

We are the living
Livin' and loving
Makers of the magic, don't you know
We are the living
Livin' and loving
Makers of the magic, baby let's go
We really gotta go now

EAST IS RED
(Lyrics: M.Kervinen)

Take me back to where I was on the other day
I was flying two thousand miles over old Bombay
East is red or so they say
I'm climbing a mountainside, there ain't no easy way

Hundreds of years thousands of days have all passed away
Millions of people still looking for a place to stay
If you see the faces, you can feel the pain
The struggle for love, is it all in vain

Take me back show me the road
Show me the reason, I can carry the load
I will follow your footsteps on and on
... to the dawn
I will keep on going on
I'll keep on movin' on to the dawn

On the mountains of Kashmir the sun is going down
Old munks are praying that peace will come somehow
East is red or so did they say
Still follow the mountainside there ain't no easy way

Take me back show me the road
Show me the reason, I can carry the load
I will follow your footsteps on and on
... to the dawn

I will keep on going on
I'll keep on movin' on to the dawn
I will keep on going on
I'll keep on movin' on to the dawn

Leftovers For The Right People

LONG GONE BOY
(Lyrics: H.Leiden/T.Roudi)

Once I had it all
Threw it all away
Now it's see - what tomorrow brings

Get my wheels on fire
On this road to hell
Yes I'm really gonna grow me some wings

No matter what you do ma'
It's too late
Your candle in the window
Will flicker in vain

I'm a long gone boy
A memory
Yes a long gone boy
Oh yeah yeah
I'm a long gone boy
But don't you worry no more
This time I'm gone for sure

If I seem to fly
Too close to the sun
I ain't playin' any kind of game

I don't wanna die
And I don't want to run
But trouble already knows my name

No matter what you do ma'
It's too late
Your candle in the window
Will flicker in vain

I'm a long gone boy
A memory
Yes a long gone boy
Oh yeah yeah
I'm a long gone boy
But don't you worry no more
This time I'm gone for sure

MEDICINE MAN
(Lyrics: Fisher/Douglas)

If the kind of love that you need is
Something that your man can't understand
Next time he goes out with the boys
Just call your medicine man

Honey, ??? ??? ??? do a diagram
Some boys got it - and some boys don't
Call your medicine man, yeah

Your cheap prescriptions can't clear you head
Watching your mind is a man
No little #a6231b pills gonna cure your ills
Call your medicine man

Doctor Glimsdale's much too old
And the Gippy's got cold hands
Killers move ??? ???
Call your medicine man

Hey loving Mama don't ya suffer alone
Come just as big as you can
I'll be over with another ??? honey
I'm your medicine man

Honey, ??? ??? ??? do a diagram
Some boys got it - and some boys don't
Call your medicine man, yeah

Call the doctor!

Hey loving Mama don't ya suffer alone
Come just as big as you can
I'll be over with another ??? honey
I'm your medicine man

Call the doctor - I'm your medicine man
Call the doctor - I'm your medicine man
Call the doctor - I'm your medicine man
Call the doctor - I'm your medicine man

If the kind of love that you need is
Something that your man can't understand
Next time he goes out with the boys
Just call your medicine man

Honey, ??? ??? ??? do a diagram
Some boys got it - and some boys don't
Call your medicine man, yeah

MAGIC CARPET RIDE
(Lyrics: Kaye/Moreve)
(Original release: Steppenwolf - The Second, 1968)

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my 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 could find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

Well, you don't know what we could find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we could see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away
