1. BROWN SUGAR



Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doing alright
You shoulda heard him just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now

Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all here boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you...how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a...just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo



2. SWAY


Did you ever wake up to find

A day that broke up your mind

Destroyed your notion of circular time


It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

It's just that demon life has got you in its sway


Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground

For all my friends out on the burial ground

Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down


It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway


There must be ways to find out

Love is the way they say is really strutting out


Hey, hey, hey now

One day I woke up to find

Right in the bed next to mine

Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah


It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me...



3. WILD HORSES


Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day


4. CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING

Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got fancy boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed freak jive

Can't you hear me knockin' on your window
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door
Can't you hear me knockin' down the dirty street

Hey, help me baby, I ain't no stranger
Help me baby, I ain't no stranger
Help me baby, I ain't no stranger

Can't you hear me knockin' when you're safe asleep
Can't you hear me knockin' down the gas light street
Can't you hear me knockin' throw me down the keys

Allright now

Hear me ringing big bells toll
Hear me singing soft and low
I've been begging on my knees
I've been kickin'
Help me please
Hear me prowlin
I'm gonna take you down
Hear me growlin', yeah
I've got fight in me
Now, now, now hear me howlin'
I'm all around your street now
Hear me knockin' I'm around your town


5. YOU GOTTA MOVE

You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move, child
You gotta move
Oh, when the Lord gets ready
You gotta move

You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich, child
You may be poor
But when the Lord gets ready
You gotta move

You see that woman
Who walks the street
You see that police
Upon his beat
But then the Lord gets ready
You gotta move

You gotta move


6. BITCH


Feeling so tired, can't understand it

Just had a fortnight's sleep

I'm feeling so tired, I'm so distracted

Ain't touched a thing all week


I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy

Ain't touched a drink all night

I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason

Just ate a horse meat pie


Yeah when you call my name

I salivate like a Pavlov dog

Yeah when you lay me out

My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright


Yeah, you got to mix it child

You got to fix it must be love

It's a bitch

You got to mix it child

You got to fix it but love

It's a bitch, alright


Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud

Kicking the stall all night

Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on

Don't have no bark or bite, alright


Yeah when you call my name

I salivate like a Pavlov dog

Yeah when you lay me out

My heart is bumpin' louder than a big bass drum, alright


I said hey, yeah I feel alright now

Got to be a...

Hey, I feel alright now

Hey hey hey

Hey hey yeah...


7. I GOT THE BLUES



As I stand by your flame
I get burned once again
Feelin' low down, I'm blue

As I sit by the fire
Of your warm desire
I've got the blues for you, yeah

Every night you've been away
I've sat down and I have prayed
That you're safe in the arms of a guy
Who will bring you alive
Won't drag you down with abuse

In the silk sheet of time
I will find peace of mind
Love is a bed full of blues

And I've got the blues for you
And I've got the blues for you
And I'll bust my brains out for you
And I'll tear my hair out
I'm gonna tear my hair out just for you
If you don't believe what I'm singing
At three o'clock in the morning, babe, well
I'm singing my song for you



8. SISTER MORPHINE



Here I lie in my hospital bed

Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?

Oh, I don't think I can wait that long

Oh, you see that I'm not that strong


The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears

Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?

What am I doing in this place?

Why does the doctor have no face?


Oh, I can't crawl across the floor

Ah, can't you see, Sister Morphine, I'm trying to score


Well it just goes to show

Things are not what they seem

Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams

Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast?

And that this shot will be my last


Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head

Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed

'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead

Yeah, and you can sit around, yeah and you can watch all the

Clean white sheets stained red.



9. DEAD FLOWERS



Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair

Talkin' to some rich folk that you know

Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company

Well, you know I could never be alone



Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave


Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac

Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day

Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon

And another girl to take my pain away


Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the mail

Send me dead flowers to my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave


Take me down little Susie, take me down

I know you think you're the queen of the underground

And you can send me dead flowers every morning

Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail

Say it with dead flowers in my wedding

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave



10.MOONLIGHT MILE



When the wind blows and the rain feels cold

With a head full of snow

With a head full of snow

In the window there's a face you know

Don't the nights pass slow

Don't the nights pass slow


The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind

Just another mad mad day on the road

I am just living to be dying by your side

But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road


Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes

Gonna warm my bones

Gonna warm my bones

I got silence on my radio

Let the air waves flow

Let the air waves flow


Oh I'm sleeping under strange strange skies

Just another mad mad day on the road

My dreams is fading down the railway line

I'm just about a moonlight mile down the road


I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming

I'm riding down your moonlight mile

I'm hiding baby and I'm dreaming

I'm riding down your moonlight mile

I'm riding down you moonlight mile


Let it go now, come on up babe

Yeah, let it go now

Yeah, flow now baby

Yeah move on now yeah


Yeah, I'm coming home

'Cause, I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

Down the road, down the road
