Please You

Baby we both need some love

and we’ve got  tonight

we should do it right

be everything we’re dreaming of

shadows dancing on the wall

everything is still

we’ve got time to kill

why don’t we just give it all

I have known you for some time

you’ve always been a friend

but tonight I can’t pretend

cause I get stupid when you smile

Chorus

oh oh oh

so far from home

nothing seems right nothing seems real

here on my own

all that I know is how I feel

deep in your arms

I am a man who’s intentions are true

and baby

all I need tonight is to please you

your body is a miracle

your presence is divine

the softness of your lips

reminds me that I’m still alive

I can see it when you walk

your beauty so elite

your movements so discreet

I can’t remember how to talk

tomorrow I’ll be leaving you

we’ll both be going home

but tonight we’re all alone

there’s only one thing left to do

Chorus

in every heart

there comes a point in which we break

tonight is that night

this is a chance we must take

deep in your arms

I am a man who’s intentions are true

and baby all I need tonight

is to please you

Betty Lee

took a walk outside this morning

with a skip up on my step

got to find my baby Betty cause I’m fifty-six dollars in debt

see I made a bet last evening

but I didn’t have the cash at the time

little steed eight came up late

to bad I bet it on number nine

so when it came time for losing

all my money had been spent on boozing

and the bookie told me he would chop off both my feet

so I told him he’d have his money by morning

and he gave me one last final warning

so I’m hoping Betty Lee can help me pay back to keep my feet

oh baby please, uh huh

Chorus

Oh Betty Lee

Oh Betty Lee

ain’t got a dime in my pocket

surely you got something for me

Oh Betty Lee

Oh Betty Lee

ain’t got a dime in my pocket

surely you got something for me

now before the sun had started rising

there were several plans I’d been devising

but when I got to Betty’s house she wouldn’t open up the door

so I just sat outside stinking like rum

and when she opened the door I told her why I had come

she said “I thought I told you not to come ‘round here no more”

I said “please you do not understand

this brut’s a mean and nasty man

and if you don’t help me he’s gonna hurt me oh so bad”

she said “ you low down stinking dirty rat,

I’d pay to have you killed before I pay for that

now get the hell out of my house before you start to make me mad

Chorus

Don’t know what to do and I don’t know what to say

wasted all my time on Betty now I got no time to run away

oh lord can you help me out of this heat

cause I just can not bear the thought of loosing both my feet

Chorus

now after she slammed the door on me

I went back to my house and I got on one knee

and I prayed to God just to help me see this through

I said God if you could help me out

you know there ain’t no question no there ain’t no doubt

I’ll never bet again and this I promise you

and then I see him coming up the street

his beady eyes eyeing up my feet

and knife in hand he started coming cross the road

and as he shouted hey fool where’s my money

he tripped and fell right on route twenty

and was run over and killed by a semi with a ten ton load

Chorus

Love

Let us open up our hearts and pray

That the world will let us be today

To get lost among our own creation

And get wrapped up in imagination

we can sing we can dance

take a chance it don’t mean that we are fools

we got the tools we got the time

we got a light that needs to shine

so many things that we can be

we got to be free

cause only

Chorus

love

it moves the heart

creates the space for understanding

and a place that we can start

Life

will come and go

but in the end though we pretend

we must admit that love is all we have to show

Well I watch the images of war

and I wonder what we’re fighting for

Cause most of us would be content

just to eat and pay our rent

what’s a lie what is true

what can I do as just one man

to help the whole world understand

with all the misuse and abuse of power

everything changing by the hour

there’s so much anger deep in me

I got to be free

Chorus

Well so many of us live in fear

that our lives will one day disappear

but the deepest root to all our dread

is that we’ll be forgotten once we’re dead

but the beauty of the human soul

is the more it give the more it’s whole

and though our names may cease to ring

the love we gave will always sing

Chorus

 


Feel the beat closing in on me
got a feeling in my feet I go to set it free
skiddly bob dop a do bop do bo
hey, wind it up and let it go
don't care if I'm the only one
everybody will be dancing by the time I'm done
I can be hip I can be cool, but I ain't afraid to be a fool
don't think that I'll ever know
why so many are afraid to let their spirit show
feel lucky to be living at all
when the beat starts a bumping gotta heed the call
band is shaking, bodies breaking, can't keep faking
that you don't want to do it when you know you want to do it
stop your standing, grab my hand and join the band and
dance like a monkey with your pants on fire

Chorus

People are strange
run by the shit that's deep in their brains
I don't know why it so hard for them to see
if you wanna be free
you can't take yourself seriously
and baby just dance with me


Feel the beat closing in on me
gotta feeling in my feet I gotta set it free
skiddly bob dop a do bop do bo
wind it up and let it go
don't care if my feet are numb
ain't gonna stop dancing till the mornings come
baby don't just sit and stare
you know together when we're dancing we're a pretty pair
every body out on the floor
better to be thought foolish then to be a bore
wall flower this is your hour
dance so hard that your gonna need a shower
song ain't over so it ain't too late
come on people don't hesitate
for a minute just put your drink down
 spin around and around and around and around and around
and who cares if your the only one
cause everybody will be dancing by the time your done
you can be hip you can be cool
but don't be afraid to be a fool

Chorus

oh my darling look how far we’ve come

just yesterday, we were so young

we had it made so unafraid of the unknown

look at all these pictures on the wall

so many times we had it all

and I’m amazed by all the ways we’ve grown

Chorus

and I just want you to know

the greatest thing I’ve ever done

is to let down my defenses

let my truth shine like the sun

and commit myself completely to love someone

In a couple of years, a lifetime can unfold

the love we have shared, the truths we have told

and you are still the one that fills my heart

and I will give you all I have to give

my hopes and my dreams, each moment I live

for it is you, that has been true, right from the start

Chorus

feels like we are in an endless maze

everything moving so fast these days

spinning circles upside down

too much negativity going round

we’re all living in a time of war

nobody even knowing what were fighting for

big money begets big money

I bet it’s big money, that’s what it’s for

tied up tied down

can’t find no common ground

so tightly we are wound

that we can not find any piece of mind around

doesn’t every body have a choice

to stand up tall and raise their voice

I tell you people

I got to got to know

Chorus

when somebody gonna stop

stop the bleeding

cause the fate of our kind is at stake

each and every day on the TV screen

most horrifying things that I’ve ever seen

not just in Iraq but right in downtown

men women and children getting shot down

and you can’t believe anything you read

cause press is a chess piece powered by greed

big money begets big money

ain’t it funny how money

robs people of the things they need

I can tell you one thing for sure

killings a disease that’s hard to cure

and where there’s just a few there’s bound to be more

till we can’t even remember what we’re fighting for

it’s a god dam shame it’s a damn disgrace

we’re all members of the same damn race

I tell you people

I got to got to know

driven by the voices that are running in my head

got a million things to keep me here but I want to run away instead

I need my freedom, I need my space

I need to wake up with a smile on my face

I want to spend my days sitting in the open grass

free to sit and talk to God, free to let the time go past

all of these lives spent, working for money

I try to laugh about it but it ain’t that funny

Chorus

God I’m here

please don’t let me fall asleep

I am so afraid

of giving in to fear

losing all my faith

forgetting why I’m here

Oh God my sister, what has she become

forgot about the things she’s said forgot about the things she’s done

yeah she’s got problems, no more than most

could a been a savior right now she’s just a ghost

remember what she told me when I was just a boy

we were meant to work together bring the world a little joy

she didn’t know fear, until it found her

sunk into ground her, it’s gagged and bound her

Chorus

even my own father as brilliant as he is

can’t find a way to fight his fear not even for his grand kids

he is a victim, he is a casualty

and in his mind, that’s all he’ll ever be

Chorus

Waiting on my baby’s porch

right beside the front door

we ain’t together no more

so I wonder what I’m waiting for

Waiting on my baby’s porch

why did I let her go

sometimes I just don’t know

but now I’m lonely and I’m feeling low

I didn’t know I’d need her

untill I made it end

and then I come to see her

find her messing with my best friend

Waiting on my baby’s porch

and now it’s starting to rain

I never felt so much pain

it’s enough to drive a man insane

Attention generation x to generation z
Generation w controls you with TV
They've kept us in the closet
They've told us where to go
Well I got news for all of yous it's time we let'em know
That the shit their doing, you know it just ain't right
Know time to waste we've got to get off our ass and fight
By fight I mean a paint brush, by fight I mean a pen
To educate our children not to ask this way again
By fight I mean some music with words that make you feel
A dedication to the truth to find out problems that are real
There's a light, I can see
There's a future and it starts with you and me

Anger is a waste of time
pollutes and it corrodes the mind
We've got soil, we've got seed
And action is the thing we need

Attention everybody to the people on the street
Who can't afford good water or a decent meal to eat
People caught with drugs and charged a federal crime
Who've lost their right to vote even after doing time
You know discrimination is alive and well
Put a man in prison and you sentence him to life in hell
By hell I mean no decent job, by hell I'm mean no pride
To strip some one of all their worth until their numb inside
By hell I mean no education no benefit of doubt
Just line up for your welfare check you've got no voice to shout
Intimidation has been spread around
Through out the ages to keep the masses down

Big government is a waste of time
Greedy clowns and corporate minds
We've got soil , we've got seed
and action is the thing we need

Most people in the world just want to live in peace
Most people int the world just want a home and food to eat
most people in the world don't want to kill don't want to die
In fact most people in the world are just like you and I
It's just a few, power hungry whores,
Who sit on the plush and tell us who we're fighting for

But people always have a choice
For numbers hold the loudest voice
and we've got soil, we've got seed
and action is the thing we need

No Words

As he grasps for thoughts that once he could define

Like the way he feels about the wind

Or the people talking all around him

or the time he understood

who he was and where he stood

It all turns to grey

cause the thoughts they come and go but the words they seem to always slip away

In his mind he truly understands the world

Who he is and why he’s here

why those around him live in fear

and how the randomness of fate

can break your back with all it’s weight

But he can’t break the silence in his way

cause the thoughts they come and go but the words they seem to always slip away

If he could only print his soul down on the page

the way he does in conversation

unrehearsed in inspiration

When he’s had a couple drinks

and he speaks before he thinks

but when he tries to write it down to his dismay

the thoughts they come and go but the words they seem to always slip away

go ahead and try open up your eye

feel hooked feel open feel loved feel high

devour it all believe it’s a mission

to define all lies that deceive ambition

what is there to lose if it’s what you choose

you must learn to except it even when it is the blues

cause the time you have and the tools you’ve been given

is the only real reason to be living

even the smallest action in the tiniest town

can create enough of something to be spread around

so if your complaining then stop hesitating

too much contemplating can lead to evading

come on

Chorus

you can say what you want to say

but it don’t mean nothing if it ain’t for free

you can do what you want to do

any time any where it is up to you

in the morning the sun will rise

and you’ll open your eyes and

pretend you don’t have a clue

you can be what you want to be

you can even be free

if you weren’t too afraid to

you can you can step out of your soup can

everything is fine when you step around your mind man

people pushing fines when they should be stepping lines

and don’t even seem to mind that there’s nothing to define them

full of grace when I’m up in your face

at times a personal disgrace but a trait that I must embrace

I can’t explain the darker things I do

but if you look the other direction you’ll find the same is true

underneath feelings underneath hesitation

using all I got to fight my lack of motivation

doors of opportunity opening up in waves

I won’t lie I like money but I will not be a slave

try hard to keep my mind in check

keep my heart in line and keep my head on my neck

can’t explain the darker things I do

but if you look the other direction you’ll find the same is true

Chorus
