Vauxhall to Lambeth Bridge

I walked down by the Thames
Vauxhall To Lambeth Bridge,
And as I walk I see Big Ben
Winking his eye at me.
He looks down and he gives a smile
Tryin' to be grand 'n strong,
But I can tell and I know all the while
Tonight he's feeling lonely too.
I looked down into the lapping water
That's dark and black.
When I look up I see a man standing all alone
And he too is looking into the water
That's dark and black.
What are you thinking of man?
What are you searching for?
I hope you find your answer,
But I don't think you'll find it there...
But where... but where?
Where... where... where?
Where you gonna find what your looking for?
Oh Where?
If I take a breathe and I keep it locked inside of me,
And I don't let go before I see your image before me,
If I directed all my thoughts and the essence of life towards you,
Do you think that it might reach you?
Do you think that it might reach you?
I'm only trying to help you.
I'm only wanting for you to feel much better
'Cause I know your feelin' low 'n blue.
As I walked on down by the river
Vauxhall To Lambeth Bridge
I think of you as I'm watching Big Ben,
And I see he's crying too.

This Wheel’s On Fire

If your mem'ry serves you well
We were goin' to meet again and wait
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your mem'ry serves you well

Wheel's on fire rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!

If your mem'ry serves you well
I was goin' to confiscate my lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
But it was oh so hard to tell
And you know that we shall meet again
If your mem'ry serves you well

Wheel's on fire rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!

If your mem'ry serves you well
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done
And after ev'ry plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your mem'ry serves you well

This wheel's on fire rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!

Road To Cairo

A fella told me
This here road leads to Cairo
I got to get me a ride
I got to go back
Go back to my children
I got to see my little bride

I been travellin'
Gone a long long time
Don't know what I'll find
Scared of what I'll find
But I just got to see them again

Hey thanks for stoppin'
Are you headed down to Cairo?
I wrecked my Lincoln in Saint Jo
Why to little old Cairo?
No special reason
Look up some folks I used to know

Me I travel some
Have my share of fun
Now that's a life a man can live
Sure I've played and lost
But who minds the cost
You got to take more than you give

Hey you got another cigar?
Son I sure like this car
Oh from your daddy as a gift
Say on second thought
There's gifts I haven't bought
Just drop me here
Thanks for the lift

Yes I've travelled some
Yes I've been a bum
Never have a dime for gin
Left to make my way
Told her I can't stay
To see my children poor as sin

I know this road
It leads straight into Cairo
Twenty-two miles straight ahead
I can't I can't walk down this road to Cairo
They're better thinkin' I'm dead

I been travellin'
Gone a long long time
Don't know what I'd find
Scared of what I'd find
I can't I just can't walk down this road

Inner City Blues

Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long

Baby Take Me

Baby take me
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me
I can't get you off of my mind
Think about you all of the time
Don't you know you know my heart
All you gotta do is make a start
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me

Give me a chance to prove it to you
I would treat you oh so good
'Cause I love you like I should
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me
If you want a love that's true
That's what I'm offering you

And if you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me

Think about you all of the time

And I want some on no one else
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
And if you want a love that's oh so sweet
Baby take me
And if you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
And if you want a love that can't be beat
Baby take me
Baby take me

Can I Get a Witness

Ah ah listen everybody (body), specially you girls (girls)
Is it right to be left alone when the one you love is never home
I love too hard my friends sometimes say
But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside to see you treat me so unkind
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't fair

Can I get a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Somebody (Can I get a witness)

Is it right to be treated so bad when you give her everything you had
Keep on talking in my sleep 'cause I haven't seen my baby all week
Now you kids you all agree is that the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah

Up early in the morning with her on my mind
Took to find it out all night I been cryin'
But I believe a woman's a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick by hr till the very end
Well she causes so much misery how's a gal supposed to be
Somebody somewhere tell her it ain't right

Can I get a witness, can I get a witness
(Can I get a witness), I want a witness
(Can I get a witness), witness, witness
(Can I get a witness), witness, witness
(Can I get a witness)

Everybody knows especially you girls
That a love can be sad but my beloved's twice as bad
Now you kids do all agree that ain't the way it's supposed to be
Let me hear you, let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah

I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Yeah, I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Somebody (Can I get a witness)

I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
I want a witness (Can I get a witness)
Witness, witness, yeah, I want a witness

If You Could See Me Now

If you could see me now, you'd know how blue I've been
One look is all you'd need to see the mood I'm in.
Perhaps then you'd realize I'm still in love with you.
If you could see me now, you'd find me being brave
And trying awfully hard to make my tears behave
But that's quite impossible, I'm still in love with you.

You'll happen my way on some mem'rable day
And the month will be May for a while.
I'll try to smile but can I play the part
Without my heart behind the smile?

The way I feel for you I never could disguise
The look of love is written plainly in my eyes.
I think you'd be mine again if you could see me now.
