Lyrics


1. YOUR POPPA DON'T MIND

Give it a word, give it a try
Why don't you sleep out, stop living high
You're on your own, your making bed
Now time for wasting, just look ahead

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He's got a reputation and he don't know fad
Your poppa don't mind at all

He's getting old, he's getting late
It's soon tomorrow, so celebrate
Bring it out, and go to town
Before you're thinking, sell him now?

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all

Find him out, he's half a fun
When you find out, don't try to run
If you know, then you'll be gone
And if you don't know, it's still to come

Your poopa don't mind what you do or say
You can't surprise him anymore
He talked about his women and his old school tie
Your poppa don't mind at all

You can't surprise him anymore
He don't believe in heaven like a good man should
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all
Your poppa don't mind at all


2. TRAVELLED

Traveled the world in million ways
Catching the palm in familiar gaze
Everyone lives by two hard eyes
There's no one with time to laugh or cry
There's no one to tell us what we're living for

And though I tried to be a good man
I just know that I'll be losing very soon
And there are times and there are motions
When I do believe I'm going out of tune, oh

I've been around a long, long while
Looking for sun to make me smile
But still multiply their daily bread
They're thinking their lives put times ahead
It must be a mighty funny way to feel

And though I tried to be a good man
I keep finding out there's nowhere to begin
And so I think I'll go on singing
And in time I hope that we can all join in, oh


3. ROSIE HAD EVERYTHING PLANNED

Acting upon information received
Rosie had everything planned
Stood in a garden with a shotgun in hand
What a woman

Whilst entertaining the headlines next day
Rosie would not be released
If it was found that her man was deceased
Silly woman

Oh but Rosie, a girl with a strange kind of humor
Stupidly took in a rumor
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who was dear

Stood in the garden and shaking her head
Rosie could not understand
Wiping her eyes with the back of her hand
Sad, sad woman

Oh but Rosie, how could a few words have made her
Certain that he had betrayed her
Making her think that she'd lost
Double-crossed by a man who was still very near to her

Row upon row of angel hair
Rosie had everything planned
Sure that the people would not understand
Sad, sad woman


4. REMEMBER

I think it's funny, just a sad song
He likes his money, now you ain't got none
So is it mighty strange
Now that you are so broke
Don't try to make it man
You haven't got a home

(Chorus)
Remember when I was in trouble
You put down the phone
And anywhere you go, you go alone

It was a crush change, the money sure flew
You had a flash name, imagine you're broke
But now it's breaking up there's no one near you
Don't try for me to call
Cause I won't hear you

(Chorus x2)

Well, don't you sit around, start to move on
Your life is broken down, so get a new one
And if you make it by and kiss the good life
Why don't you make it right
Just look at this time

(Chorus)


5. FOREVER

I will always love you true forever
Forever, I will always love you true
Hope you feel the same way too, forever
Forever, I hope you feel the same way too
Want to spend my life with you forever
Forever want to spend my life with you

My life with you, my life with you, oh
Life with you, my life with you, oh

Love you till the day I die, yeah forever
Forever love you till the day I die
So I'll sing this song to you forever
Forever, I will sing this song to you

Song to you, song to you
Song for you, song for you
Song for you, song for you...

I really love you, I really need you
I'll always love you...
I really love you, I think about you...


6. POTTER

The name is Potter, hi there
I'm sure getting hotter, mind there
I told her quick she could see my pricked cactus
Back in the confines of my home
She didn't say yes, but she didn't say no
So we're just gonna go get a cactus supper at home

Nigger in the woodpile, mind out
Trigger as a docile, find out

Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me
Sing me songs like you've never seen before
Roll out, old town, to my place in town
It's a case of a pound and a race to the bedroom door

Roll up, roll up, come and see me, tickle me
Sing me songs like you've never seen before
Hold on, hold on, till my place in town
In the case of a pound and the race till the bedroom door


7. COMIN' HOME TO YOU

Now you're very much like your mother
And that's a natural fact
But you couldn't look much like your brother's wife
Or anyone like that

And you don't look much like your sister
'Cause she's all big and fat
But don't breath a word to your mean old dad
'Cause I'll be coming back

I'm coming home to see you early in the morning
I'll be around and on the first train today
I'm coming home to see you while day's dawning
All aboard, all aboard

Put on some fancy clothes and meet me at the station
Make sure I don't mistake you for your sister Jane
Don't want to see you with your goddamn relations
That's all for now, I'll see you, ciao


8. TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Captain I am sorry that this ship should go a stray
Letting the ocean have it's own way
Lay me down to pass ?to send?, I'll pay for all my sins
Pleading for mercy, my cancel begins

(Chorus)
Times have changed, and my vision ain't so strong
For the battle was too long, for me to bear
I don't feel the pain, for my soul is sinking fast
And I know this is the last, the chance for me

In and out of tumor, and in and out of mind
Deeper the ocean, stronger the tide
Stormy seas surround me, no sails to keep me dry
I pray to you captain, but you heard not my cry

(Chorus)

For me, for my story
Let me lie in peace
I want to say I'm sorry now

Then I'll be on my way
Then I'll be on my way
Then I'll be on my way

(Chorus)


9. FRIEND IN NEED

Hey buddy, I want to talk to you
About (I got?) a friend in need, a friend indeed
I hear you got a few friends too
Living up the stairs, selling their wears
And they don't care, 'cause they don't know that

Oooh he's very lonely
Oooh he's lost his one and only
Woman that he's ever had
He sure feels bad, can you make him glad?
Hey mister can you help him out?
Can you put him straight, before it gets to late
And show what it's all about

Hey mister where you got the dope?
Which way will it be, to pay the fee?
I guess that you can see through me
So I'll be straight with you, I'll tell the truth
Friend in need is just really me


10. ARIES

Right, let's get the whole thing cooking)

I try to run in a different race
But every time I seem to loose face
Making it hard it's easy
But I got to keep trying to lessen my pace

I try to walk down a city-street
I say hello to the people I meet
They're walking their way and thinking I'm crazy
But I have so much trouble just to keeping the beat

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
Whatever I was blessing
Well it worn't to laugh at me

Maybe I'm just a country boy
Hinging life bringing no joy
Well it's bringing me down, it's making me lonely
You see I'm fooling with a life and it ain't no toy

Well my way of life is simple
'Cause I just do what I please
And whenever I got problems
I just call upon Aries

Here she comes
Here she comes
