Ten Years After
Dalszövegek/Lyrics

I MAY BE WRONG,
BUT I WON'T BE WRONG ALWAYS

Tell me baby, tell what's on your mind
Tell me baby, tell what's on your mind
Love you, baby, but I hate your hurtin' kind

Baby, baby, I've got news for you
Baby, baby, I've got news for you
Love you, baby, I don't know what to do

Baby, baby, what's on your worried mind
Baby, baby, what's on your worried mind
Love you, darlin', but I hate your hurtin' kind

Well, the moon looks lonesome, shining through the tree
The moon looks lonesome, shining through those trees
How do you look sad, when your baby packs up to leave

Baby, baby, what's on your worried mind
I say, baby, baby, what's on your worried mind
I don't cheat you, baby, I love you all the time

Love to hear my baby call my name
Love to hear my baby call my name
'Cause now you've got a man, but I call those rings, call me

Tell me baby, tell what's on your mind
Tell me baby, tell what's on your mind
Love you, baby, but I hate your hurtin' kind

Baby, baby, what's all that wrong with you
Baby, baby, what's all that wrong with you
Love you baby, I don't know what to do

I may be wrong, but I won't be wrong always
I may be wrong, but I won't be wrong always
I love you, baby, love you in my own sweet way

SPIDER IN MY WEB
I'm a spider in my web, I'm just waiting to catch a fly
Spider in my web, baby, sitting and waiting to catch a fly
Sitting in my web, darlin', just waiting for you to pass me by

Sitting here, darlin', sitting here all alone
I'm sitting here, baby, sitting all alone
Baby, when I catch you, I'm gonna take you to my home

My web isn't very sticky
Pretty soon, you should know
Baby, when I catch you, I will never let you go

Spider in my web , darlin', I'm waiting to catch a fly
Sitting in my web, baby, waiting for you to pass me by

I said I'm a spider in my web, I'm just waiting to catch a fly
Spider in my web, and I'm waiting to catch a fly
Sitting in my web, darlin', waiting for you to pass my by

Don't you know the spider
Oh, baby, pretty soon, you're sure to find
Well, I'm a spider, pretty soon, you're sure to find
I'm a spider in my web, baby
But baby, spider can be kind

GOING TO TRY
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try and get my feet out of the sand

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try and find out where's the promised land

Where are you?
How do I know you're true, know you're true, know you're true?
Now I can find what I want out of life, out of life

I wanna try, I wanna try
I wanna try and find out where's the promised land

I wanna try, I wanna try
I wanna try and get my feet out of the sand


WOMAN TROUBLE
Woman trouble always in my life
Got a babe, but she'll never be my wife
'Cause I know, yes, I know
When she got you, man, you're never letting go

You see her in the street with the sparkling eyes
Don't forget that she knows how to cry
'Cause you know, yes, I know
When she got you, man, you're never letting go

She says, baby, that we'll never fight
I know I'm gonna treat you right
You won't be lonely, this I know
There's a time when women have got to go

Woman trouble always on my mind
My kind of woman I'll never find
'Cause I know, yes, I know
When she got you, man, you'll never let go

Woman trouble always in my life
Got a babe, but she'll never be my wife
'Cause I know, yes, I know
When they got you, man, they're never letting go


HEAR ME CALLING
Hear me calling
Hear me call on you
Hear me calling
Hear me call on you
If you don't come soon
I'll know your love ain't true

Hear me calling
Hear me calling loud
Hear me calling
Hear me calling loud
If you don't come soon
I'll be wearing a shroud

A SAD SONG
The love that you gave me has gone with the rain
The joy that just filled me has turned into pain

My face in the mirror reminds me of you
It's the one that you lied to when you said you'd be true

The tears in my eyes are all that you'll find
The scars on my face just deepen my mind

The love that you gave me has gone with the rain
The joy that just filled me has turned into pain

NO TITLE
Well, I got no worry, and I got no pain
'Cause when I get rid of them, they come back again
I just keep on doing what I want to do
If I keep on trying, I'm sure to come through

Well, money's no problem, it comes and it goes
It stops me from starving, it keeps me in clothes
There's a God and a devil, I'm sure it must be
But why should I bother them, they don't bother me

So, I'll keep on playing and do what I do
These strings on my fingers are all that is true

SPEED KILLS
Get on the ball, boys. Let' catch that train and get on.

Well, run your Chevy down the highway, doing 95
Got his V-8 engine buzzing like a hive
Gotta catch that mail train, just to stay alive

Well, he wrote his baby a letter when he was in pain
Well, he told his little baby "Don't wanna see you again"
Well, he's gotta drop that letter, gotta catch that train

Gotta beat it to the crossing before he gets to town
Got to keep that whistle humming, keep it to the ground
Gotta catch that mail train, gotta flag it down
Roll on, boy

Well, he's squealing around the bend, tracks are getting near
Well, the roaring of the engine, passing in his ear
Well, he ain't gonna make it...

ONE OF THESE DAYS
One of these days, boy
Gonna see my baby
Gonna see my baby
Coming down the road
She'll have my pardon
Pardon in her apron, oh, Lord
Gonna see the governor
who said release my man

She's coming down the road, boy
She's coming down the road
Red dress on, yeah
She's got her red dress on
She's coming down the road, boy
She's coming down the road
Her bags down low
She's got her bags down low

One of these days, boy
Gonna see my woman
She'll have my children
Children on her knee
I'll run up to my woman
And hold her in my arms
Tears in her eyes
She says I'm glad you're free

HERE THEY COME
Here they come, and they fly with the power of the sun
Here they come, and they're going to touch everyone
Far, far, have they come

Here they come, and the fire on their wings doesn't burn
Here they come, and they know everything we must learn
Round, round, we must turn

Watch out, you, sinners
Don't you know that your time has come?
Watch out, you, winners
Now it's the same for everyone

Here they come, and the stars in their eyes seem to glow
Here they come, and the fear in our hearts starts to go
Now, now, now we all know

I'D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, Monopoly

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

OVER THE HILL
I got water on the brain
My mind is like a drain
Here I go again
Over the hill

My eyes don't seem too clear
I'm not sure what I hear
It seems I'm going clear
Over the hill

Like a cripple and his crutch
I have leaned a bit too much
Seems that I should never touch again
Now it seems it's plain to see
That this stuff is killing me
Got to quit, so, I'll be free again

I got too much to lose
No one can fill my shoes
Think I'll leave the blues
Over the hill

BABY WON'T YOU LET ME ROCK'N ROLL YOU
Baby won't you let me rock'n roll you
Baby won't you let me, let me stroll you
Baby won't you let me rock'n roll you now

Baby won't you let me, let me shake you
Baby won't you let me, let me breke you
Baby won't you let me really take you now

Well, you remember baby, how it used to be
I used to rock'n roll you around my knee
Well, I tell you, honey, gonna be alright
Gonna rock'n roll you all through the night

Baby won't you let me, let me shake you
Baby won't you let me, let me breke you
Baby won't you let me really take you now

I tell you baby, gonna be alright
I'm gonna rock you all through the night
Well, you remember how it used to be
I used to rock'n roll you around my knee

Baby won't you let me sock it to you
Baby won't you let me sock it to you
Baby won't you let me rock'n roll you now

ONCE THERE WAS A TIME
Once there was a time I'd rob my mama
For a good meal and a smoke
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother
For a dollar when I was broke

But I'd never sell my guitar
And my strings were always sharp
'Cause if I don't have a guitar
I'll be strumming on some angels harp

And if I don't get to heaven
And I go down there below
Better be a guitar when I get there
Or, I will refuse to go

Once there was a time I was hungry
And I'd find my food in some bin
But I'd never, never sell my guitar
'Cause that would, darling, that would be a sin

LET THE SKY FALL
Let the sky fall
Let the sea sink
Let the earth shake
Let the sun blink
Let the universe
Go spinning free
If my darling
Ever leaves me

Let the air freeze
Let the moon cry
Let the stars go out
Let the world die
Let the eyes go blind
Let the grass turn blue
If I ever
Think of leaving you

Let our love be
With our minds free
Let our hearts beat
Let our eyes see
Let the universe
Share our love
Let me be
What you're thinking of

HARD MONKEYS
Got no monkey on my back
And I'm never gonna crack

'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues

Got no street car called Desire
And I'll never light the fire

'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues

I'VE BEEN THERE TOO
There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is crying, it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?

Your soul is aching, you can't see it through
But time is healing each day you do
Keep looking forward, forget the past
It's up to you now, don't let it last

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

You'll wake up one morning, you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'Cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep looking forward, the sun will come through

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

SUGAR THE ROAD
Having a good time, baby
You're having a ball
Your daddy don't dig what you look like
Don't dig it at all
Don't understand
What you're going through
No, no, no, no, no, no, he don't

He says there's only one way that you stay alive
Keep working for your pension till you're sixty five
Hey, No, no, don't dig it at all

You've grown up a big girl, baby
You're doing all right
You sleep in the daytime, baby now
You're leaping all night
Got your own scene
Said you're doing fine
My, my, my, doing fine, girl

Live like you want, let them call you a freak
You'll be a baby factory when you're married a week
Oh, no, no, no, can you live in a box? Get out, get out...

You're having a good time, baby
You're loving your life
There's more things ahead now, baby
Than being a wife
Well, I love your mind
'Cause you know it's free
Little darlin

Don't worry about the people who scream and shout
Just give them fifty years and they might forget it out
Hey, yeah, I've gotta have me a good time
Darling, let it all hang out

WORKING ON THE ROAD
I've been working on the road about fifteen years
Been blowing my mind, I've been blasting my ears
Don't you know, babe?
I've been sleeping all day and working all night
I made a lot of money, but it don't feel right
Don't you know, babe?

Well, I've seen the world and it's seen me
In a strange kind of way I guess I'm free
Don't you know, babe?
Well, I've seen it bad and I've seen it good
But, now, I want to clear my blood
Don't you know, babe?

I've got a feeling for home
Somewhere that I call my own

Well, I tried to live the way I should
I've shed some tears and sweated blood
Don't you know, babe?
And I think it's time I took a break
'Cause I have took all I can take
Don't you know, babe?

I've got a feeling for home
Somewhere that I call my own
Take me home, babe

50,000 MILES BENEATH MY BRAIN
I want to know you
I want to show you
I want to grow you
Inside of me
I want to see you
I want to free you
I want to be you
Inside of me
Love me 50,000 miles beneath my brain
Love me 50,000 times and then again

Can you love me with a thousand eyes?
Can you see right through my bones?
Can you kiss me with a thousand lips?
Can you melt a solid stone?
Can you hear me from a thousand miles
When you're screaming at the stars?
Can you pull me up to Jupiter
When I'm all hung up on Mars?
Burn my eyes with your flame
Let your world spin free
Let it go, baby
I'll do the same
All depends on me
Let it go
It's all the same
What with jewels that you can't see
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, babe
Bring it on home to me...

YEAR 3,000 BLUES
They took me down the grading station
And they classified me zed
'Cause of over population
They told me that I would soon be dead

But I slipped out of the force field
And hid beneath the monorail
But the automatic blood hounds
Lord, they're soon hot along my trail

Now if I had been a scholar
With computer working hard
Then my molecular structure
Would not be on the grader's card

So, I know that they will get me
Put my index in the brain
Then, the atoms of my body
Will be disposed of, Lordy, down the drain

They took me down the grading station
And they classified me zed
'Cause of over population
They told me that I would soon be dead

ME AND MY BABY
Me and my baby never get the blues
Me and my baby never get the blues
Me and my woman got nothing left to lose

Me and my baby never get uptight
Me and my baby never get uptight
Me and my woman never do a damn thing right

Me and my baby always feeling good
Me and my baby always feeling good
We love each other, sure no reason why we should

Me and my baby really got it made
Me and my baby really got it made
I get her loving when the other man is paid

Me and my baby living like we should
Me and my baby living like we should
We don't act bad 'cause we don't know what it's like to be good

LOVE LIKE A MAN
You rolypoly
All over town
But you come on back to me
When things are down
Love like a man
Love all you can

Your satisfaction
Is growing less
If you come on back to me
Use my address and let you
Love like a man
Love all you can

You are the woman
You can't deny
You look so good to me, girl
You make me high

I'll tell you something
I think you know
When you flash those eyes at me
Love like a man
Love all you can

CIRCLES
Life is going arond in circles
Wonder will it ever end
If I die, baby, will you miss me
Or just find another friend
Does it matter what I do
Live life right or bear a grudge?
Does it matter what I do
Is there anyone to judge?

I have been to many places
I have journeyed through the mind
Though I've found some different faces
Another answer I can't find
Does it matter what I do
Is there anyone to say?
Does it matter what I do
Is there any other way?

I have got what I once dreamed of
As a child, so long ago
But my life just goes in circles
'Cause one answer I don't know
Does it matter what I do
Who will hear me if I cry?
Does it matter what I do
Does it matter if I die?

AS THE SUN STILL BURNS AWAY
A thousand cities in the night
Each one waiting for the light
Ten million people plan their day
As the sun still burns away

As the earth just spins in space
People plan their daily race
As the sun still burns away
Few say "Thank you for the day"
All the people in their ties
Forget to look up at the sky
they exist another day
As the sun still burns away

I wonder just how long we'll last
When the final die is cast
Every day brings forth the time
When the sun forgets to shine
