In the swarming street

But I never been so broke

2. LOVE HER MADLY

Don't you love her madly
Don't you need her badly
Don't you love her ways
Tell me what you say
Dont' you love her madly
Want to be her daddy
Don't you love her face
Don't you love her as she's
walking out the door
Like she did one thousand times before
Don't you love her ways
Tell me what you say
Don't you live her as she's
walking out the door

All your love, all your love
All your love, all your love

All your love is gone
So sing a lonely song
Of a deep blue dream
Seven horses seem
To be on the mark

Yeah, don't you love her
Don't you love her as she's
walking out the door

All your love, all your love
All your love, all your love
All your love is gone
So sing a lonely song
Of a deep blue dream
Seven horses seem
To be on the mark

Don't you love her madly
Don't you love her madly
Don't you love her madly



3. BEEN DOWN SO LONG

Well, I been down so goddamn long
That it looks like up to me
Well, I been down so very damn long

I said warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key
I said warden, warden, warden
Won't you break your lock and key

Hey, come along here, mister
C'mon and let the poor boy be

Baby, baby, baby
Won't you get down on your knees
Baby, baby, baby

Well, I been down so very damn long

4. CARS HISS BY MY WINDOW

The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
The cars hiss by my window
Like the waves down on the beach
I got this girl beside me
But she's out of reach

Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Headlight through my window
Shinin' on the wall
Can't hear my baby
Though I called and called

Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom
Windows started tremblin'
With a sonic boom, boom
A cold girl'll kill you
In a darkened room



5. L.A. Woman

Well I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light
Or just another lost angel

City of Night
City of Night
City of Night
City of Night

L.A. woman
L.A. woman
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon

L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs into your blues
Into your blue, blue, blues
Into your blues

I see your hair is burning
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar

Driving down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman so alone
So alone, so alone, so alone

Motel money, murder madness
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness.

Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Got to keep on risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Got my Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Got my Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Mr. Mojo risin'
Ridin', ridin'

Well I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the City of Light
Or just another lost angel

City of Night
City of Night
City of Night
City of Night

L.A. woman, L.A. woman
L.A. woman
You're my woman

A little L.A. woman
L.A. woman
hey, hey, come on
L.A. woman, come on




6. L'AMERICA

I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold

L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America

C'mon people, don't ya look so down
You know the rain man's comin' ta town
Change the weather, change your luck
And then he'll teach ya how ta...find yourself
L'America

Friendly strangers came to town
All the people put them down
But, the women loved their ways
Come again some other day
Like the gentle rain
Like the gentle rain that falls

I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold
I took a trip down to L'America
To trade some beads for a pint of gold

L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America, L'America, L'America
L'America



7. HYACINTH HOUSE

What are they doing in the Hyacinth House
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House
To please the lions in this day ?

I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me
I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me
I need someone who doesn't need me

I see the bathroom is clear
I think that somebody's near
I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah

Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away?
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play


And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend, the end




8. CRAWLING KING SNAKE ( by John Lee Hooker )

Well, I'm the Crawlin' King Snake
And I rule my den
I'm the Crawlin' King Snake
And I rule my den
Yeah, don't mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself

Caught me crawlin', baby, window
Grass is very high
Keep on crawlin' till the day I die
Crawlin' King Snake
And I rule my den
You better give me what I want
Gonna crawl no more

Caught me crawlin', baby
Crawlin' 'round your door
Seein' everything I want
I'm gonna crawl on your floor
Let's crawl
And I rule my den
C'mon, give me what I want
Ain't gonna crawl no more

Alright, crawl a while

C'mon crawl
C'mon crawl
Get on out there on your hands and knees, baby
Crawl all over me
Just like the spider on the wall
Ooo, we gonn' crawl, one more

Well, I'm the Crawlin' King Snake
And I rule my den
Call me the Crawlin' King Snake
And I rule my den
Yeah, don't mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself





9. THE WASP ( Texas Radio and the Big Beat)


I want to tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance
Others, mean and ruthful of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the Pharaoh died


The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, "Forget the night.
Live with us in forests of azure.
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate"

Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul

I'll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn

I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language

Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul



10. RIDERS ON THE STORM

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl you gotta love your man
Girl you gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
