Lyrics

DISC 1

1. ROCK AND ROLL

Ohhhh, yeah
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled
It's been a long time since I did the stroll
Ooh baby, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes it has

Seems so while since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just don't work right
Ooh baby, open your arms, open your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in
It's been a long time, been a long time
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ha!

It's been a long while since the book of love
I can't count the tears of a life with no love
Ooh, baby, carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
It's been a long time, been a long time
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Sure has


Ohhhhhh yeah, ohhhhhhh yeah
Ohhhhhh yeah, ohhhhhhh yeah
Ohhhhhh yeah, ohhhhhhh yeah
Ahhhh, rock it fuckin'
Ohhhhhh yeah, ohhhhhhh yeah
Ohhhhhh yeah, ohhhhhhh yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time


2. CELEBRATION DAY

Her face is cracked from smiling,
All the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know

And her voice is sore from shouting,
Cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to go.

(Chorus)
My, my, my, I'm so happy,
I'm gonna join the band,
We are gonna sing and dance in celebration,
We are in the promised land.

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in,
Then she wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door.

Her name is Brown or White or Black,
You know her very well,
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell.

(Chorus)

There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination,
But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar More.
Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there
Tho' it takes a little longer,
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan.


3. BLACK DOG / BRING IT ON HOME

Hey, hey mama said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
Uh-uh child is that the way you swing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting
Ah ha, child when you walk that way
Watch heartache drip, can't keep away

Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

I can't roll, can't stand still
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill
Eyes that shine, burnin' red
Dreams of you all through my head

Ah ah... (Ah ha)
Ah ah... (Ah ha)
Ah ah... (Ah ha)
Aaahh
Keep up
Keep up


4. OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Hey, lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh, darlin', darlin', darlin', walk a while with me
Oh, you got so much, I really need so much, I have to have so much

Many times I've lied and many times I've listened
Many times I've gazed along the open road
Many times I've lied and many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know
Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold, some Acapulco gold, every time

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missin'
Many, many men can't see the open road
Many is a word that only leaves you guessin'
A-guessin' 'bout a thing you really oughta know
You really oughta know, hoh
Ohhhhh, sure nuff
You know it's sure nuff


5. MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP

Walking in the park just the other day, baby
What d'ya, what d'ya think I saw
Crowds of people sitting on the grass
With flowers in their hair said, "Hey, boy, do you wanna score"

"Do I wanna score?"
I really don't know what time it was, whoa-ho-ho
So I asked 'em if I could stay a while

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really
Ooh yes, I was really outta my mind
Just then, a policeman stepped up to us
Asked us, said, please, please, hey
Would we get in line, get in line

They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
Ho-ho-ho, he said that his friends would all stop by

Why don't you take a good look at yourself
And describe what you see
And baby, baby, baby, do ya like it
There you sit, sittin' spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ohhhh, you're not rustin' baby, you ain't tryin' to fight it

I really don't care if they're comin', whoa-ho-ho
I believe that it's all a state of mind

If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better
Oooh, you better open your eyes, you know what I'm talkin' about
Folk down there really don't care, don't care
Really don't, which, a-which way the pressure lies
A-that's a lot of pressure

So I'm packin' my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits soar now
Over the hills where the spirits fly
I gotta get there, I gotta get there

I really don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know
I really don't know, know, know, know
I really don't know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh-oh-oh
Ohhhhh, rock it


6. SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU

Ahhhhhh, I've been workin' from seven, baby, to eleven every night
Ooh yeah, with miserable a drag, drag, draaaaag
People, I know you don’t think that’s right

Ohh, yes, but I did what I could, yes, I did
Oh, I love you more, yes, I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, oh, I love you, ooh yeah

A-baby, since I've been lovin' you

Ohhhh, I've been tryin' to do the best I could
I've been a-workin', I've been a-workin', I've been a-workin' from seven, oh, baby, baby, to eleven every night

Baby, can’t see them fallin’, ah, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, can’t see them fallin'

Do you remember, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, upon your door
You had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more
I open my front door, I hear my back door slam
I said, hey baby, hey baby gotta feed the back door, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ohhhh, I've been a-workin' from seven
Oh, baby, to eleven every night
You used a drag, used my a drag, you used a drag, now, mama, used my a drag

Don't make lose my worried mind, whoa-oh-oh, ohhhh


7. NO QUARTER

Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight, ohhoohohoh
The snow falls hard an' don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowin' cold cold cold col col col...
They're wearin' steel that's bright an' true oh, oh, oh, oh
To build a dream for me an' you ah-hahhhh
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter, oh hoh
They ask, they ask no quarter, oh yeah, oh yeah, ohhhhh

Walkin' side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howlin' more more more more more...
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me an' you ahhhh yes they do
A-they choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask
They ask
They ask
They ask, no quarter

Oh what misery without quarter
Oh the pain, the pain without quarter, oh-oh-oh
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ahh give me quarter, quarter, quarter
Oh give me... Oh give me...


8. THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME

I had a dream, oh now
Crazy dream, ohh ho
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go

Hear my song
People won't ya listen now
Sing along, yeah
You don't know what you're missin' now
Any little song that ya know
Everything that's small has to grow
And it always grows
Push, push, yeah, ahhhohhhuhh

California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright, the song remains the same
Ooooooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
A-ooh yeah

Sing out Hare Hare
Dance the Hoochie Koo
City lights oh so bright
As we go slidin', slidin'
Slidin', slidin'
Slidin', slidin'
Slidin', slidin'
Slidin'...


9. THE RAIN SONG

It is the springtime of my lovin'
This second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growin'
So little warmth I felt before
Ahhh, it isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes, hohh
It is to you I give this tune
It isn't hard to recognize, ho-oh-oh
These things are clear
To all from time to time, oh-hohh

Talk, talk to me, talk to me
Now listen
I felt the coldness of my winter, ooh ooh, yeah-e-yeah
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, upon us
But I know a-that I love you so
Ohhhh yeah, an' it feels good, it feels good now
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind, they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
An' people this is the mystery of the quotient
Upon us all, ohhhh a little rain must fall
Juh- juh- juh- just a little rain ohh, yeah I know


10. THE OCEAN

Singin' in the sunshine, laughin' in the rain
Rockin' on the moonshine, rollin' in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball
Uh-huh
Do it

Sittin' 'round singin' songs 'till the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singin' all my songs to the girl who won my heart
Now, she's only four years old, and it's a real fine way to start

La, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Laa, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Singin' to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for me and play for free and play a whole lot more
Singin' 'bout the good things, and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing to the ocean, has the ocean lost its way
I don't think so

I don't know-hoh, I don't know-hoh-oo-ohh
I don't know, I don't know-hoh


11. DAZED AND CONFUSED

I've been dazed an' confused for so long it's not true
I wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Now lots of people talkin', pity few of them a-know
Soul of a woman was created below, that's right

Oh everybody's been talkin', Lord
I swear they been talkin' trash (trash)
The way that ya push, push, push, push, push, push me darlin'
I can't take too much of that
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon whoah darlin' show me the way
I wanna make love to ya little girl twenty-five
Twenty-five (five)
Twenty-five (five)
Twenty-five (five)
Ohhhhhhh

Said you hurt an' abused tellin' all of your lies (lies)
I try to quit you baby, baby, baby but ya keep me
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mesmerised
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon say what you will
I still wanna make love to ya little girl twenty-five
Twenty-five (five)

If you're goin' to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're goin' to San Francisco
You're gonna meet a lotta gentle people there ohhh
Twenty-five (five)

Oh everybody's been talkin', Lord
I swear they been talkin' trash (trash trash)
The way that ya push me darlin'
Ya know I couldn't take too much of that
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon show me the way
I wanna make love to ya little girl twenty-five
A-twenty five (five)
Twenty-five (five)
Twenty-five (five)


12. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
With a word, she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird that sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

And it makes me wonder, sure does
Oh hoh hoh, hohooh ohoohohooh, yes sir

There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts, I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is hummin' and it won't go in case ya don't know
The piper's callin' you to join him
Dear Lady, can you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold, yeah
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll, not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven
Ahhahhhhohhahhoh


13. MOBY DICK

(Instrumental)


14. HEARTBREAKER

Hey, fellas, have ya heard the news
Ya know that Annie's back in town
It won't take long, just watch and see
All the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile like of the one who knows

Well, it's been ten years or maybe more
Since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love
But I'll just keep on rollin' along
With the grace from the Lord above

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at
A-one thing I do have on my mind
If you could clarify, please do
It's the way you call me another guy's name
When I try to make love, I gotta make love
I really need to make love
Ooh, yes, every night, every night
Give it to me, c'mon


15. WHOLE LOTTA LOVE
