Hah hah Come on! Did someone say something about The Blues...?

 I've been all over Europe
 And across the sea
 With each new place
 It gets clearer to me
 Week after week
 On tour with my band
 You don't have to speak
 'Cause they all understand!

 The power of the blues
 Hey, hey, the power of the blues
 And that's good news
 I'm talking about the power of the blues!

 Yes, it's just a few changes
 That I won't deny
 But if you think it's easy
 You just give it a try
 You know the truth
 But you're afraid to say it
 That it ain't what I play
 It's the way that I play it!

 That's the power of the blues
 Yes, the power of the blues
 You'll change your views
 When you hear the power of the blues!

 Now me and Lucille
 We're gonna stop this war
 I'm no politician
 But I know the score
 You can call me a hawk
 Or maybe I'm a dove
 But all we gotta do
 Is shoot 'em full of love!!

 With the power of the blues
 Hey, the power of the blues
 It's the thing to use
 Talking about the power of the blues
 Yes, I am!!



Like Gary Moore, I still got the blues:

 Used to be so easy to give my heart away
 But I found out the hard way
 There's a price you have to pay
 I found out that love was no friend of mine
 I should have known time after time

 So long, it was so long ago
 But I've still got the blues for you

 Used to be so easy to fall in love again
 But I found out the hard way
 It's a road that leads to pain
 I found that love was more than just a game
 You're playin' to win
 But you lose just the same

 So long, it was so long ago
 But I've still got the blues for you

 So many years since I've seen your face
 Here in my heart, there's an empty space
 Where you used to be

 So long, it was so long ago
 But I've still got the blues for you

 Though the days come and go
 There is one thing I know
 I've still got the blues for you.

I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are

But here I sit in Dublin
Just rollin' cigarettes
Holdin' back and chokin' back
The shakes with every breath

[Chorus]
Forgive me all my anger
Forgive me all my faults
There's no need to forgive me
For thinkin' what I thought
I loved you from the git go
I'll love you till I die
I loved you on the Spanish steps
The day you said goodbye

I am just a poor boy
Work's my middle name
If money was a reason
I would not be the same

I'll stand up and be counted
I'll face up to the truth
I'll walk away from trouble
But I can't walk away from you

I have been to Fort Worth
I have been to Spain
I have been to proud
To come in out of the rain

I have seen the David
I've seen the Mona Lisa too
I have heard Doc Watson
Play Columbus Stockade Blues

I woke up this morning
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up this morning
Then I went right back to bed
Got a funny kind of feelin' like I got broken glass in my underwear
And a herd of wild pigs is trying to chew off my head
You know what I'm sayin'

Well I ain't got not money
I'm just walkin' down the road
Said I ain't got no money, honey
So I'm just walking down this lonely old road
Well, I wish I could get me some money
But I forgot my automated teller code

I was born in a paper sack in the bottom of a sewer
I had to eat dirt clods for breakfast, my family was so poor
My daddy was a waitress, my mama sold bathroom tiles
My brothers and sisters all hated me 'cause I was an only child

I got the blues so bad, woo
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out, mama
Or maybe I'll, yeah, maybe I'll, just go bowlin' instead

I'm just a no good, scum sucking, nose picking, boot licking, sniveling, groveling, worthless hunk of slime

Nothing but a low-down beer-bellied, bone-headed, pigeon-toed, turkey-necked, weasel-faced, worthless hunk of slime

Guess I pretty low self-image
Maybe it's a chemical imbalance or something -- I
I should probably go and see a doctor about it when I've got the time

Make it talk
Aw, make it talk, son, make it talk
OK, now make it shut up

Plagues and famine and pestilence always seem to get me down
I always feel so miserable whenever I'm around
I wish somebody would come along, stick a pitchfork through my brain
I'd flush myself right down the toilet, but I'd just clog up the drain

I got the blues so bad
Kinda wish I was dead
Maybe I'll blow my brains out, mama
Or maybe I'll go bowling
Or I just might go bowling
Maybe I'll just rent some shoes and go bowling
Maybe I'll join a league, enter a tournament, put on a stupid-looking
shirt and go bowling instead
Yeah

On that cheery note, here's something about pigs and human misery:

 I woke the same as any other day
 Except a voice was in my head
 It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade
 And watch the rolling heads

 The day I tried to live
 I stole a thousand beggar's change
 And gave it to the rich
 The day I tried to win
 I dangled from the power lines
 And let the martyrs stretch
 Singing

 One more time around
 Might do it
 One more time around
 Might make it
 One more time around
 Might do it
 One more time around
 The day I tried to live

 Words you say never seem
 To live up to the ones
 Inside your head
 The lives we make
 Never seem to ever get us anywhere
 But dead

 The day I tried to live
 I wallowed in the blood and mud with
 All the other pigs

 I woke the same as any other day you know
 I should have stayed in bed

 The day I tried to live
 I wallowed in the blood and mud with
 All the other pigs

 And I learned that I was a liar
 Just like you

:

Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
[When you're] down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You f***ed up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Hey you, Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
[...]
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary, you're nearly a treat
Mary, you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.

After that, I need a good, laugh, laugh:


I hate to say it but I told you so

Don't mind my preaching to you

I said "don't trust him", baby, now you know

You don't learn everything there is to know in school

Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice

I said that he was a tease

If you want help you better ask me nice

So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"

Laugh, Laugh, I thought I'd die

It seemed so funny to me

Laugh, Laugh, you met a guy

Who taught you how it feels to be

Lonely, oh so lonely

Don't think I'm being funny when I say

You got just what you deserve

I can't help feeling you found out today

You thought you were too good you had a lot of nerve

Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said

I'm glad he packed up to go

You kept on bragging he was yours instead

Found you don't know everything there is to know

Before I go I'd like to say one thing

Don't close your ears to me

Take my advice and you'll find out that being

Just another girl won't cause you misery

You say you can get any boy at your call

Don't be so smug or else

You'll find you can't get any boy at all

You'll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf

Lonely, oh so lonely

She don't need anybody to tell her she's pretty
 She's heard it every single day of her life
 He's got to wonder what she sees in him
 When there's so many others standing in line

She gives herself to him
 But he's still on the outside
 She's alone in this world
 She's nobody's girl, she's nobody's girl

She shows up at his doorstep in the middle of the night
 Then she disappears for weeks at a time
 Just enough to keep him wanting more
 But never is he satisfied

She'll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, I've seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Ooh, she's sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see
What you think you're getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money's the matter
If you're in it for love
You ain't gonna get too far

Watch out boy she'll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Oh here she comes)
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater

I wouldn't if I were you
I know what she can do
She's deadly man, she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
Ooh, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart

Watch out boy she'll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater
(Oh here she comes)
Watch out boy she'll chew you up
(Oh here she comes)
She's a maneater

hungry? like a wolf?


 Darken the city, night is a wire
 Steam in the subway, earth is a afire
 Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
 Woman, you want me, give me a sign
 And catch my breathing even closer behind
 Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

 In touch with the ground
 I'm on the hunt I'm after you
 Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
 And I'm hungry like the wolf
 Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
 I'm on the hunt I'm after you
 Mouth is alive with juices like wine
 And I'm hungry like the wolf

 Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
 I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
 Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
 High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
 You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
 Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Principles matter. Words matter.
