Mama
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Mama raised me to be honest,
She taught me well
Livin high up in a castle
She said, climb that hill
Mama raised me it don't phase me,
Cast your vote silently.
In the shadow of a city
You must tell it like you see it
{chorus}
Did did did, did you know?
Did you know?
Did you know?
Did you know we are all world reknowned?
Take off your skirt, put on a shirt, put on a smile,
Let your hair gently down.
Let it down.
A word - animated any word created, a cartoon for the girls.
A word - antiquated, you are not faded, living in an aging world.
Eat your pills and pay your bills and pay your rent
And make your bed quietly.
Boston bars and city cars and city lights
You move so gracefully.
{chorus}
All right
Mama raised me to be honest, taught me well
Livin high up in her castle, she said
Climb that hill!
Mama raised me it don't phase me,
You can't kick me in my head (fuckin' right)
In the shadow of a city, you must tell it like you see it.
{chorus}
Manic Depressive (Hendrix)
Lead Vocal: Glockler
Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul
Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over, mama
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Ow! ow!
Music sweet music sweet music
Sweet music sweet music
Hooo!
Melissa (G. Allman)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa... mmm...
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the Gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
with sweet Melissa... mmm...
Again the morning's come,
Again he's on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
or will his spirit roll away?
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
Midnight Hour (Pickett/Cropper)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That's when my love comes a-tumbling down
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
When there's nobody else around
I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
Do all the things I told you
In the midnight hour
Yes I am
I'm gonna wait till the stars come out
And twinkle in your eyes
I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour
That when my love begins to shine
'Cause you're the only girl I know
That can really love me so
In the midnight hour
Midnight Moonlight (Peter Rowan)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
If you ever feel lonesome
When you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal, or borrow
Two nickles or a dime
To call me on the telephone.
I'll meet you at Animal Mission
And we can say our prayers.
Well the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us,
As we kneel there.
{chorus}
In the moonlight, midnight
Moonlight midnight moonlight.
In the moonlight, midnight
Moonlight midnight moonlight.
If you ever feel sorrow
For the deeds that you have done
Look no more for tomorrow
Than the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling
For things that might've been
And that last Kimona sunrise
Will be the brightest you've ever seen.
{chorus}
{Repeat 1st verse}
Midnight Rider (G. Allman/Payne)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding,
And I'm bound to keep on riding.
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no,
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.
And I've gone by the point of caring,
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing,
And I've got one more silver dollar,
But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let them catch the Midnight Rider.
Mud Spring Draw
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Mud Spring Draw was a peaceful town
just a lil town outside of Jherico.
And when the walls came tumbling down
Mud Spring Draw refused to go.
Well, the banker froze
The grocer dozed
The drunkards all wore smiles
As they examined the debris
When the mayor got there
he said "I do declare -
A little bit of dust and dirt don't bother me."
{chorus}
I am bored of the idea
that your days become more clearer
after a long time gone
To the folks of Mud Spring Draw
Who keep livin where they are
the days get hard you know
On my way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way
On my way I'll be back home again {repeat}
Outside of town there lived an aging whore,
Went by the name of Cindy-Lou
The mayor said she could have been a queen
So did every other guy in town that Cindy knew
They gave her gifts of turquoise rings
They gave her lavish strings of pearls
And in a way she truly was a Queen --
The richest one of all the Mud Spring girls.
{chorus}
Well the Daughters of the Revolution came to eat,
They reveled in their cakes and creamed potatoes.
The mayor's wife talked of the politics of life
And if she knew about his queen she didn't say so.
Well there was bantering and secret sits
From ticklers that were left behind the toilet
The evening passed and the questions that were asked
Were ones that they were certain wouldn't spoil it.
{chorus}
On my way I'll be back home,
Don't know when but it won't be long.
On my way I'll be back home again.
The Music Never Stopped (Perry/Barlow)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
There's mosquitoes on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now
Too hot to even speak now
Did you hear what I just heard?
Say, it might have been a fiddle
Or it could have been the wind
But there seems to be a beat now
I can feel it in my feet now
Listen here it comes again
There's a band out on the highway
They're high-stepping into town
It's a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody's dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on clap your hands
Sun went down in honey
And the moon came up in wine
You know stars were spinning dizzy
Lord the band kept us so busy
We forgot about the time
They're a band beyond description
Like Jehovah's favourite choir
People joining hand in hand
While the music plays the band
Lord they're setting us on fire
Crazy rooster crowing midnight
Balls of lightning roll along
Old men sing about their dreams
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playing on
Keep on dancing through to daylight
Greet the morning air with song
No one's noticed but the band's all packed and gone
Was it ever here at all?
But they kept on dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on clap your hands
Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday
And the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancing
Full of singing and romancing
The music never stopped
Near and Far
Lead Vocal: Trafton
Thinking, finding myself alone.
It would be nice to hear you.
(to hear you)
Picture it playing out on telephones
Just out of reach so far and near, too.
What can I give you something?
I'd never seen it coming
I had a dream last night and you were by my side
You, see you think it's just all right.
I've since taken to avoiding light
What can be done now that this has come?
We'll skirt the edges and away we'll run
What can I give you something?
I'd never seen it coming
I had a dream last night and you were by my side
What can be said for this?
What can I do?
I ask too many questions,
Just see me through.
And when it's said and over
Time circles in.
Slowly has carried in words til
I'm whole again.
I'm whole again.
Guessing, wondering the dial tone
Walls closing in over my shoulder
(closing in)
Deciding well enough be left alone
Conflicting urges to find her
What, can I give you something?
I'd never seen it coming
I had a dream last night and you were by my side
Thinking, finding myself alone.
It would be nice to hear you
(to hear you)
Picture it playing out on telephones
Just out of reach so far and near, too.
What, can I give you something?
I'd never seen it coming
I had a dream last night and you were by my side
Neighbor
Lead Vocal: Glockler
On first appearance
She seems all there
Don't let her fool you that way
Don't be confused by her empty stare
Or shocked at things she will say
She will come to bring you down
It's the plan in her life
Turn out the lights,
Don't make a sound,
Or she'll bug you all night.
It's really sad how her life's been scarred.
With bad memories and shame.
With all that pain it must have been hard
With so much focus on blame.
She will always bring me down
And it's so funny to her.
She will always come around
Cause it feels good for her - for her
-WOO-
I don't like you,
So what's the fuss?
As far as I've concerned myself
There's nothing to discuss
Please, hear that -
It's plain for all to see.
Except for you who doesn't know how much you bother me
I don't like you.
I don't like you.
Hear you knockin on my door
And I pretend that I am snorin'
Hope and pray you'll go away
But I know there's no way out.
Get out of my life
Leave me alone
You don't need me to make it right
You do fine on your own
Get out of my way
You block my view
You trip too much and take my space
You gotta go away and give me room to breathe
She will always bring me down,
She will always come
(bringin' me down)
She will always come around
She will have her fun
(bringin me down)
Neighbor 2
Lead Vocal: Trafton
A long, long time ago
Not so far away
She lived next to my house
It wasn't planned that way
I never should have met her
I wish I never did
When the mailman put my mail in her box
I knew I should've hid
{chorus}
Knock on the door but there's no one home (no one home)
Gettin' 20 Questions from the nowhere-zone (no one's home)
Do you mind if I come to watch TV? (yes I do)
I will only be here for eternity.
I hope I don't drive you crazy,
I hope I don't drive you crazy.
Well some say half the passion
Others can't believe
If you have a problem with it
Come over and you'll see
{chorus}
She comes to me and she says,
"Say something good, say something good."
Seems to be just what I did.
I said something good, I said something good.
I look back and remember
Things I should've seen
Answers to the questions I had
Right in front of me
But hindsight never failing
With foresight kicked her out
365 days a year
She still brings me down
Way way down {repeat 3x}
New Glock 2
Lead Vocal: Glockler
You always offer suggestions;
I don't want to hear it today.
Before you start on the subject,
I know what your going to say.
Don't help me now; you never did
When I was young and confused
And now I'm not that little kid
I'm going to do what I choose
{chorus}
How come you always want to be
(gotta be.. gotta be.. gotta be and you won't say, no)
Another person who would drag me down
How come you always want to be
(gotta be.. gotta be.. gotta be and you won't say, no)
Another person who would drag me down
Take me out for the count
"You seem to lack some ambition..."
"Well you're going at your own pace..."
"The consequence of your actions..."
"Are you willing to face...?"
When I'm on the outside looking in
I see were both just the same
And I see I'm acting just like him
I can't believe that I am
I don't know where it's gonna go
I can't see how it's going to be
I don't know how it's going to go
I can't see how it's going to be
I don't know how it's going to fly
I don't know if I'm going to try
I can't see how it's going to be
I don't know how it's going to go
I don't think it's coming back {repeat 3x}
To me..
{chorus}
Night Before (Lennon/McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
We said our goodbyes
Aah the night before
Love was in your eyes
Aah the night before
Now today I find
You have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
Were you telling lies
Aah the night before
You were so unkind
Aah the night before
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Last night was the night I'll remember you by
When I think of things we did, makes me want to cry
We said our goodbyes
Aah the night before
Love was in your eyes
Aah the night before
Now today I find
You have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
Now today I find
You have changed your mind
Treat me like you did the night before
Last night was the night I'll remember you by
When I think of things we did, makes me want to cry
Were you telling lies
Aah the night before
You were so unkind
Aah the night before
When I held you near
You were so sincere
Treat me like you did the night before
Like the night before.
Nobody Told Me (Lennon ) 9/5/99
Lead Vocals: Glockler
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Oh the Dreadful Wind and Rain (Traditional)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
There were two sisters came walkin' down the stream
Oh the wind and rain
The one behind pushed the other one in
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
Johnny gave the youngest a gay gold ring
Oh the wind and rain
Didn't give the oldest one anything
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
They pushed her into the river to drown
Oh the wind and rain
And watched her as she floated down
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
Floated 'till she came to a miller's pond
Oh the wind and rain
Mama oh father there swims a swan
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
The miller pushed her out with a fishing hook
Oh the wind and rain
Drew that fair maid from the brook
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
He left her on the banks to dry
Cryin' oh the wind and rain
And a fiddlin' fool come passing by
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
Out of the woods came a fidder fair
Oh the wind and rain
Took thirty strands of her long yellow hair
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
And he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Oh the wind and rain
He made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Oh the wind and rain
He made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
And he made a little fiddle of her breast bone
Oh the wind and rain
The sound could melt a heart of stone
Cryin' oh the dreadful wind and rain
And the only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the wind and rain
The only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
Otis
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Otis was an workin man, livin a life so fine
Otis was a friend of mine.
Living a routine life, never did leave that town
Otis don't you frown
{chorus}
Me oh, my oh,
Ain't never been down before.
Me oh, my oh.
{repeat}
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
You can leave it til tomorrow
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
You can lend and you can borrow
Otis was an honest man, never did tell a lie
Otis, don't you cry.
Livin and givin and doin as he could
Otis was damn near good.
{chorus, solo, repeat chorus}
Otis was a single man, never did wanna get hitched
Otis don't you bitch.
Chickens and pigs, didn't have no kids, doin as he pleased
Otis, don't get on you knees
{chorus}
Oxbow
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Magazine is empty and its tired morning empty
Twisted music telling of an order not yet woke
Speaking to the paper and its tired morning empty
Ragged clothing lying on the floor from which it spoke
Picture frame is empty and its tired morning empty
Guitar strap is holding with a piece of aging string
Speaking to the riddle and its tired morning empty
Mother's dark beholden to the nail from which it clings
Be on your way
Morning light is going to comfort you
Yes you know you're gonna sleep
Morning light is going to comfort you
Be on your be on your way
The voice of the hunter has fallen to choke
A well-crafted lyric that he must have spoke
There's a light in the window and the chimney brick walls
Smoke only rises and dawn gently falls
Dawn gently falls, and its gone and its gone and
And of the late day sun and it falls back down till the morning comes
Dawn gently falls, and its gone again to the day
Cheek bone finally empty and its tired morning empty
Under garment laughing at the color that it bears
Speaking to the paper and its tired morning empty
Wooden plank is bowing to the burden it now shares
Paper sack is empty and its tired morning empty
Racket lying lazy and the music box is broke
Speaking to the riddle and its tired morning empty
Rhyme is slowly spelling from the flesh in which it woke
