"Midnight Special"

   
Well you wake up in the morning.
Hear the ding dong ring,
You go a-marching to the table,
See the same damn thing;
Well, it's on a one table,
Knife, a fork and a pan,
And if you say anything about it,
You're in trouble with the man.

cho: Let the midnight special
Shine her light on me;
Let the midnight special
Shine her ever-loving light on me.

If you ever go to Houston.
You better walk right;
You better not stagger,
You better not fight;
Sheriff Benson will arrest you,
He'll carry you down,
And if the jury finds you guilty,
Penitentiary bound.

Yonder come little Rosie,
How in the world do you know,
l can tell her by her apron,
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,
Piece of paper in her hand,
She goes a-marching to the captain,
Says, "I want my man."

"I don' believe that Rosie loves me"
"Well tell me why"
She ain't been to see me
Since las' July.
She brought me little coffee
She brought me little tea
Brought me damn near ever'thing
But the jailhouse key.

Yonder comes Doctor Adams
"How in the world do you know?"
Well he gave me a tablet
The day befo'
There ain't no doctor
In all the lan'
Can cure the fever
Of a convict man.

"Off The Ground"

   
There Must Have Been A Lot Of Heartache
For You To Sink So Low.
You Must Have Had A Ton Of Pressure.
Only Answer If The Answer's No.

I Need Loving, You Need Loving Too.
Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Off The Ground.

There Must Have Been A Lot Of Magic
When The World Was Born.
Let Me Be The One You Wish For,
One You Call For, When You're All Alone.

I Need Loving, You Need Loving Too.
Wouldn't Take A Lot To Get Off The Ground.

Off The Ground, Off The Ground.
Fly Around, Fly Around.
Hear The Sound, Hear The Sound.
Off The Ground, Off The Ground.

Though It Takes A Lot Of Power
To Make A Big Tree Grow.
It Doesn't Need A Pot Of Knowledge.
For A Seed Knows What A Seed Must Know.

You Need Loving, I Need Loving Too.
Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Off The Ground.

Off The Ground, Off The Ground.
Fly Around, Fly Around.
Hear The Sounnd, Hear The Sound.
Off The Ground, Off The Ground.

Hear The Sound, Hear The Sound.
Off The Groound, Off The Ground.
Yeah Yeah, Off The Ground.

"Looking For Changes"

   
I Saw A Cat With A Machine In His Brain
The Man Who Fed Him Said
He Didn't Feel Any Pain
I'd Like To See That Man Take Out That Machine
And Stick It In His Own Brain
You Know What I Mean

I Saw A Rabbit With Its Eyes Full Of Tears
The Lab That Owned Her Had
Been Doing It For Years
Why Don't We Make Them Pay For Every Last Eye
That Couldn't Cry Its Own Tears
Do You Know What I Mean

When I Tell You That We'll All Be
Looking For Changes
Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures
And We Will Learn How To Grow

Well I Tell You That We'll All Be
Looking For Changes
Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures
And We Will Learn How To Grow
When We're Looking For Changes

I Saw A Monkey That Was Learning To Choke
A Guy Beside Him Gave Him Cigarettes To Smoke
And Everytime That Monkey Started To Cough
The Bastard Laughed His Head Off
Do You Know What I Mean

When I Tell You That We'll All Be
Looking For Changes
Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures
And We Will Learn How To Grow

When We're Looking For Changes
We're Looking For Changes
We're Looking For Changes
We're Looking For Changes In The Way We Are

"Hope Of Deliverance"

   
I Will Always Be Hoping, Hoping.
You Will Always Be Holding, Holding
My Heart In Your Hand. I Will Understand.

I Will Understand Someday, One Day.
You Will Understand Always,
Always From Now Until Then.

When It Will Be Right, I Don't Know.
What It Will Be Like, I Don't Know.
We Live In Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

And I Wouldn't Mind Knowing, Knowing
That You Wouldn't Mind Going, Going Along With My Plan.

When It Will Be Right, I Don't Know.
What It Will Be Like, I Don't Know.
We Live In Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

Hope Of Deliverance, Hope Of Deliverance.
Hope Of Deliverance From The Darkness That Surrounds Us.

"Mistress And Maid"

   
She Said
Come In My Dear,
You're Looking Tired Tonight.
Your Bath Is Drawn, Let Me Loosen Your Tie
And Fix You Your Usual Drink.

He Settles Back,
Takes A Magazine,
Kicks Off His Shoes, As He Studies The Form
Of Every Appealing Soubrette.
But Where Are The Flowers That He Used To Bring?
Every Endearing Remark
Reminds Her Of Passionarte Promises,
That He Only Made In The Dark.

In Her Bed,
She Wants To Shout At The Back Of His Head
Look At Me, Look At Me, Look At Me I'm Afraid
See What It's Come To,
I'm Just Your Mistress And Maid.

The Wine Is Warm
But The Dinner Is Cold.
The Look In His Eye Tells Her It Won't Be Long
'Till The Girls On The Page Come To Life.
And They'll Get The Flowers That He Used To Bring
With Every Endearing Remark,
And All Of The Passionate Promises
He'll Never Fulfil In The Dark.

In Their Bed,
She Wants To Shout At The Back Of His Head
Look At Me, Look At Me, Now That I'm Not Afraid.
See What It's Come To,
I'm Not Your Mistress And Maid.

See What It's Come To,
I'm Not Your Mistress Annf Maid.

"I Owe It All To You"

   
Last Night You Helped Me Through,
Took Me To The Lovers Zone.
I Saw There, Images
Projected On A Wall Of Stone.
I Stood Inside Egyptian Temples,
I Looked Into Eternal Gardens,
Lay On The Shores Of Distant Islands,
Linstening To The Sea Birds Song Of Joy.

Oh - I Owe It All To You,
You Make Me Happy,
Oh - I Owe It All To You.

Late Last Night, We Were Right
Into Some Exotic Scene.
Everywhere, Images
Appearing On A Giant Screen.
I Stood Inside A Glass Cathedral,
I Looked Into The Golden Canyon,
Lay By The Lakes Of Holy Water
Glistening Like A Diamond In The Light.

Oh - I Owe It All To You,
You Make Me Happy,
Oh - I Owe It All To You.

"Biker Like An Icon"

   
There Was A Girl Who Loved A Biker
She Used To Follow Him Across America
But The Biker Didn't Like Her.

She Didn't Care, She Still Persisted
Though Her Brother Said She Was Twisted
And The Family Said They Wouldn't Miss Her
Anyway.

She Loved The Biker Like An Icon
Gazing At His Picture Everyday.
She Loved The Biker Like An Icon
Slowly Watching Precious Water Drip Away.

She Did Her Best To Fix A Meeting
She Pulled It Off One Night In Hollywood
When He Met Her He Couldn't Let Her Get Away.

He Didn't Ask For Her Permission
He Took Advantage Of Her Position
But He Was Always Her Ambitiion
Anyway.

She Loved The Biker Like An Icon
Gazing At His Picture Everyday.
She Loved The Biker Like An Icon
Slowly Watching Precious Water Drip Away.

The Family Tried So Hard To Find Her
They Showed Her Picture Across America.
But No Trace Of Her Sweet Face
Was Ever Found.

She Loved The Biker Like An Icon
Gazing At His Picture Everyday.
She Loved The Biker Like An Icon
Slowly Watching Precious Water Drip Away.

"Peace In The Neighbourhood"

   
Best Thing I Ever Saw
Was A Man Who Loved His Wife
In A Place Where Things Were Good
I Felt Peace In The Neighbourhood

That Feeling In The Air
Something Was Definitely There
It Was A Time When Things Were Good
I Felt Peace In The Neighbourhood

I Was There, I Really Was.
At The Centre Of A Love Vibration.
People Sharing With Their Friends.
Helping Each Other Out
Peace In The Neighbourhood
Helping Each Other Out

Then I Woke Up From My Dream
To See Things As They Really Are
People Struggling To Survive
How Can Peace Hope To Stay Alive?

Well I Was There...I Felt So Good
At The Centre Of A Love Vibration.
People Caring For Their World
Helping Each Other Out.
Peace In The Neighbourhood
Helping Each Other Out.
Peace In The Neighbourhood
Helping Each Other Out.

Best Thing I Ever Saw
I Saw A Man Who Loved His Wife.

Peace In The Neighbourhood
Helping Each Other Out.
Peace In The Neighbourhood.

"Golden Earth Girl"

   
Golden Earth Girl, Female Animal
Sings To The Wind, Resting At Sunset
In A Mossy Nest
Sensing Moonlight In The Air
(Moonlight In The Air)

Good Clear Water Friend Of Wilderness
Sees In The Pool Her Own Reflection.
In Another World
Someone Over There Is Counting.

Fish In A Sunbeam,
In Eggshell Seas.
Fish In A Sunbeam.
Eggshell Finish.

Natures Lover Climbs The Primrose Hill,
Smiles At The Sky Watching The Sunset
From A Mossy Nest.
As She Falls Asleep She's Counting ...

Fish In A Sunbeam,
In Eggshell Seas.
Fish In A Sunbeam.
Eggshell Finish.

"The Lovers That Never Were"

   
I Have Always Needed Somebody Girl,
But I Close The Doors To Keep Out The World.
But For You, I Would Be Here All Alone,
Locked In A Photograph.
All Of The Clocks Have Run Down.
Lover Beware.
We'll Be The Lovers That Never Were.

I Hang Patiently On Every Word You Send.
Will We Ever Be Much More Than Just Friends?
As For You, You Sit There Playing This Game,
You Keep Me Waiting
When All Of The Clocks Have Run Down,
All Over The World.
We'll Be The Lovers That Never Were.

For As Long As The Sun Shines In Somebody's Eyes,
I Believe In You Baby, So Don't Tell Me Lies.
For As Long As The Trees Throw Down Blossoms And Leaves,
I Know There Will Be A Parade Of Unpainted Dreams.

And I Know Dear, How Much It's Going To Hurt
If You Still Refuse To Get Your Hands Dirty.
So You, You Must Tell Me Something,...I Love You,
Say Goodbye Or Anything.
All Of The Clocks Have Run Down.
Time's At An End.
If We Can't Be Lovers We'll Never Be Friends.

For As Long As The Sun Shines In Somebody's Eyes,
I Believe In You Baby, So Don't Tell Me Lies.
For As Long As The Trees Throw Down Blossoms And Leaves,
I Know There Will Be A Parade Of Unpainted Dreams.
