Cheap Chinese guitar You may own a cheap Chinese guitar or an American pre-war one Wearing sandals, cowboy hat or sparkling rings You may be twenty and sing the most pure rhythm’n’blues and soul Or maybe playing avant-garde in your seventies Maybe you can tell by heart All the latest trending bands Or you may only listen to The good ole kings Ok here I am with you I don’t mind what you need if you Make my soul sing along again You may travel all around the world once a year or maybe more Or you may hardly leave the town you’re living in You may be familiar with the modal scales and use them all Or maybe you don’t know the name of the note you’re playing Make a living out of this Or even be a millionaire Most of the time you spend your little money Ok here I am with you I don’t mind what you need if you Make my soul sing along again It’s all right if you only sing barefoot over Persian rugs If it makes your song ring true I don’t care what drugs you take or who’s the god that you adore If it makes your song ring true I hope my own song rings true Ok here I am with you I don’t mind what you need if you Make my soul sing along again If you make my soul sing along again

Meteor Showers Moon over the hill of the ancient tower Best days of the year for meteor showers In the stifling heat of night Look for a cove in the darkness Far above There’s a bunch of stars about to fall The midnight wind starts combing the ocean Sounds like sighs of relief thick with emotion I feel grateful that I’m here After a year full of sadness Far above There’s a bunch of stars about to fall The Perseids will be pretty hard to see With the waxing gibbous moon Best time is right before dawn There’s no place I’m going to Moon over the hill Do the healing Shine over me I really need it Floating in the endless sea Into the trail of the comet Far above There’s a bunch of stars about to fall

Bloody black soul Looks like a quiet man But don’t make no mistakes Seems to be in no hurry to start The band is waiting on the stage Then he takes his glasses off After asking for a shot Holds the microphone with his hand And counts from one to four He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul He sings the blues like nobody will He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul He really knows what hides in a thrill He put a spell on you And the place is getting hot To make you dance like only the damned do The ceremony must go on Flicks the curls out of his eyes And points a finger at you Squeezes your heart and then distils A liqueur that will be you cure He’s a creature of the night with a bloody black soul He sings the blues like nobody will Look at him whisper and shout and howl and growl And now it’s time to go to the bridge And now he’s singing The Coasters’ Young Blood With a malicious grin As he scratches his gut And he’s been loving you too long To stop now And swears begging on his knees He’s a creature of the night… He’s gonna make it all roll, make it all roll, make it all roll. They call him the Love man Bloody black soul Mr. Pitiful Bloody black soul Now it's time to go home Bloody black soul I said it's time to go home now baby Bloody black soul I wanna thank you Bloody black soul May you have a nice death... Bloody black soul I said hoo!

It ain’t an easy thing She wakes up, the room is bare Puts some make-up on her face Combs her hair to go outside It ain’t an easy thing to be done It ain’t an easy thing to be done It took a whole life to reunite What should’ve never been divided To take down the guitar from the wall It ain’t an easy thing to be done It ain’t an easy thing to be done But once the light of love Has shone so bright Darkness will never be the same Let the quiet rain Gently wash Her pain Away She can’t conceive he’s gone And nothing can be done Kids are climbing the stairs To wash her pain away Away

Thank you for being there You’ve always known things about me That I didn’t know myself You have never lost your faith Thank you so much for being there Thank you so much for being there Every time I talk to you You find a way to make me laugh That’s the best thing you could do Thank you so much for being there Thank you so much for being there And in my darkest night You were watching my sleep So I could hear your voice when I awake I wish that I was half as brave as you But you make me do my best To be like you deserve You know I’ve never been good with words But I’ll take this off my chest Thank you for being always true Thank you so much for being there Thank you so much for being there Thank you for being there

Carry on blues Carry on Carry on and on I hardly remember when this endless night began I can just hope that I’ll be strong enough Trying not to fear what I hear around Knowing the best that I’ll get Will be worse than what I’ve lost Carry on Carry on and on Just carry on Carry on and on babe I’m just trying to do my best I keep trying to do my best Don’t know if I’m paying for my sins Or for the sins of someone else There’s only one choice to make Step aside or go ahead I’d give everything I’ve got to keep you from this But now I’m hanging on you I’m telling you like it is Carry on Carry on and on Just carry on Carry on and on babe I’m just trying to do my best

Inner demons 03:22
Inner demons Wake you up And put you to bed They walk with you And watch you at rest They don’t need to pay the rent Live comfortably from your strength Faithful Won’t make you feel grateful at all More sincere Than you wanna hear Discuss frankly Your most secret fear Remind you every now and then That they know every mistake you made Kindly Won’t let you forget Your inner demons wish you well ‘cos they know they can’t inhabit No one else You know they wouldn’t leave you alone When you’re feeling low Oh oh oh They make you feel so low Your inner demons wish you well ‘cos they can’t inhabit no one else But if you spend too much time with them You may need some professional help And they would never leave you alone When you’re feeling low Oh oh oh They make you feel so low So low Deadly low

Winter sun 03:29
Winter sun Winter sun finally came Warming up our bones Recent rains cleared the air Morning dew drops glow Meet some friends and seize the day We won’t spend too much Let the sunshine light your face Good to see you laugh That’s what we need, we need, We need a little touch of luck Something’s different in her smile Since she lost her job We can’t mend this mean old world But we still need some fun That’s what we need, we need, We need a little touch of luck We need, we need, We need a little touch of luck Winter sun almost gone Soon it‘ll be too cold

Love song 05:04
Love song It’s a four letter word I can’t get enough of yours It’s a losing game that’s here to stay Love is free, free is love Is a force from above Love is real and not fade away Deep as the ocean King of emotion! Risk of explosion Gimme that potion (number 9) Only love can break your heart Love will tear us apart Strong love, warm love, soul love And in the end the love you take Is equal to the love you make Violent love, dirty love, tainted love Deep as the ocean… Love and happiness Everybody needs someone to love Deep as the ocean… Old love, true love Satellite of love You got to let love rule Gimme love I’ve been waiting so long For the sunshine of your love Love is all you need Your love I’ll make you feel my love

Sad sad day 03:04
Sad sad day God knows I had to quit you We don’t get what we deserve You didn’t mind hurting me You always had a lot of nerve I got used to being without you After all the years we shared I swear it wasn’t easy Couldn’t find any other way But now the course of time has realigned my memories Taking me back so long ago You are a part of me And it’s that love that remains I curse the day that saw you go Sad sad day The way that it all happened Still gives me chills today All that we take for granted In a moment fades away I wish that all was different I wish we could’ve said goodbye But fate was playing sad tricks And gave us an alibi We are who we are and we can’t be anyone else Is our damnation and our gift It comforts me that you were never left alone I curse the day that saw you go Sad sad day

COME INTO MY DREAM Come into my dream Let me feel you again Won’t you do it? To ease my mind Won’t you let me fill your cup? Sure we’ll have enough Won’t you do it? Don’t get too late You wrote it all And then you moved To your universe of movies, songs and books I was reading thru the lines And I swear I heard your voice. Come into my dream… Call me tonight I’ll go with you Make me feel safe Doing the things we used to do After all the years we shared My soul is made of you too Won’t you do it? I need you to sing along Help me with this Don’t let the world get so cold I need you to sing, I want you to sing, I wish you could sing along
12.
I don’t want to take you home I don’t want to take you home again And I don’t want to smell your curly hair Not again Shining like the sun Humming your last favorite song ’cos when I leave you I’ll go home alone Again Oh no! I won’t take you downtown anymore No more And hear all those complaints about your love No I know you really care But this won’t take me anywhere ’cos when I leave you I’ll go home alone Again Oh no!
