The Better Life - 3 Doors Down

I'm about to be on the floor again,
Surely you're gonna find me here

I'm about to sleep until the end of time;
Drug I take won't wake my fear right now

I'm passing away onto the better life;
I'm passing away onto the better!

I'm about to see just how far I can fly;
Surely you're gonna break my fall

I'm about to run as fast as I can,
Head along into that wall

It's Time
I'm passing away onto the better life;
I'm passing away onto the better!

On to the better life;
On to the better...

I'm about to be on the floor again,
Surely you're gonna find me here

I'm about to sleep until the end of time;
The drug I take won't wake my fear right now

I'm passing away onto the better life;
I'm passing away onto the better!

I'm passing away onto the better life;
I'm passing away onto the better!

On to the better.

So I Need You - 3 Doors Down

If you could step into my head,
tell me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed,
tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because you're holding up my world
So I need you.
Your imitaion of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

And if I jumped of the Brooklyn Bridge,
Tell me would you still follow me
and if I made you mad today,
tell me would you love me tomorrow?
Please. or would you say that you don't care,
and then leave me standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in despair and screamin'

Oh no I can't let you go, my little girl
Because you're holding up my world,
so I need you.
Your imitaion of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you.

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own

Oh no I can't let you go my little girl
Because your holding up my world,
so I need you.
Your imitation of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million things that I love about you.

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

Smack - 3 Doors Down

Rubber headed motor junky,
Run me down and try to stomp me.
Throw my life away and I'll be worthless just like you.
Womewhere now a baby's crying,
down the road his mother's dying
Shot a line and blew her mind and now she's turnin' blue.

don't you throw your life away
Just wait untill another day.
don't you throw your life away
cause baby I can feel it.
don't you ever comprimise it.
Don't you even realise it?
don't you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it now.

Trip and fall,
I'm sure you all can tell me
what is on the wall
behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time.
Perfect ilttle life you wasted, overdosed and that death you tasted.
Scared you back into yourself, and now you walk the line

Don't you throw your life away
Just wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it.
don't you ever comprimise it
Don't you even realise it
Don't you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it now.

Life away

There's too much of you but there is not enough of me.

There's not enough of me.

Loser - 3 Doors Down

Breathe in right away.
Nothing seems to fill this place.
I need this everytime
So take your lies, get off my case.
Someday I will find
A love that flows through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away.

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge
'Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
'Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah.

This is getting old.
I can't break these chains that I hold
My body's growing cold
There's nothing left of this mind or my soul.
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of this poison is taking me higher.
This will fall away, this will fall away.

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge.
'Cause I'm a loser
And sooner or later you know I'll be dead.
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall
'Cause I'm a loser
I'm a loser!

You're getting closer
To pushing me off of life's little edge

And sooner or later you know I'll be dead.
You're getting closer
You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall.
'Cause I'm a loser.

Duck And Run - 3 Doors Down

To this world I am unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give.
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it costs so much to live
Tell me why.

This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away, oh no
I won't turn around.

All my work and endless measures
Never seen to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch now
Even though I'm trying so damn hard
I'm trying so hard

This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run
Cause I'm not built that way.
When everything is gone there is nothing left to fear.
The world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here, oh no!

I am already here,
Down on my knees
I am already here
Oh, no, I am already here.
I must have told you a thousand times I am not running away.

I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
No I pass away.

This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run,
Cause I'm not built that way
When everything it gone
There is nothing left to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here.

This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away.
And I won't duck and run
Cause I'm not built that way.
When everything is gone
There is nothing left to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I am already here.

Down Poison - 3 Doors Down

I've dreamed about this
sixteen days away.
Now you're here
And my head lays
Beside your body,
Pillowed under mine.
You were poison,
spinning 'round my mind.
Welcome to my world
She said
Do you feel alive
She said
It's all a bad dream spinning in your lonely head.
Welcome to my world
She said.
Separated world
she stayed separated.
Down poison.

Body withered, body died.
Time to take away this life.
Bad enought to die from one, not to mention four or five.

Welcome to my world

Separated world

You weren't there for me, never there for me.
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die, you wouldn't die, you wouldn't die, no!

Be Like That - 3 Doors Down

He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen.
Then he lies awake and wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions.
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now.
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that
I'd give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

Now and dreams we run.

She spends her days up in the north park,
watching the people as they pass.
And all she wants is just a little piee of this dream, is that too much to ask?
With a safe home, and a warm bed, on a quiet little street.
All she wants is just that something to hold onto, that's all she needs.

Yeah!

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

I'm falling into this, in dreams we run away.

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

Falling in.
I feel I am falling in to this again

Sha La La - Manfred Mann

REFRAIN
Sha la la la la la la sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la

I met you for the first time last night
When I kissed you and I held you tight
Baby you made me feel alright
So this is the song that I sang all night

REFRAIN

When you kissed me I felt so weak
Never had so grand a treat
Each time I see you walking down the street
My heart starts singing to the sha la beat singing

REFRAIN

Sha la la say you love me too
Sha la la say my love is true yeah
Let's spend our lives together
We'll be happy forever

REFRAIN

(fade with medley of "sha la la"s and phrases like "you can make me
happy"
and "just a little bit louder")

Pretty Flamingo - Manfred Mann

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she moves she walks so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo pretty flamingo
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

(fade repeating "sha la la la la la la la pretty flamingo")

Mighty Quinn - Manfred Mann

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Everybody's building ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others are jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna jump for joy

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

I like to go just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and makin' haste, just ain't my cup of meat
Everyone's beneath the trees, feedin' pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Let me do what I wanna do, I can't decide 'em all
Just tell me where to put 'em and I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get no sleep, there's someone on everyone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
Everybody's gonna wanna doze

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Ha Ha Said The Clown - Manfred Mann

Chorus
Ha ha said the clown
Has the king lost his crown,
Is the night being tight on romance
Ha ha said the clown
Is it bringing you down,
That you've lost your chance

Feeling low, gotta go
See a show in town
Hear the jokes, have a smoke,
and a laugh at the clown
In a whirl, see a girl
with a smile in her eyes
Never thought I'd be brought
right down by her lies

Chorus

In a trance, watch her dance
to the beat of the drums
Faster now, sweating brow,
I'm all the fingers and thumbs
Wonder why I hit the sky
When she blows me a kiss
In a while run a mile
I'm regretting all this

Chorus

Time to go, close the show,
Wave the people good-bye
Grab my coat, grab my hat,
Look that girl in the eye
Where's your home,
What's your phone number
Stop fooling round
Could have died she replied
"I'm the wife of the clown"

Chorus

Got My Mojo Workin - Manfred Mann

I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you
I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you
I wanna love you so bad I don't know what to do

I'm goin' down over there to bring back a mojo hand
I'm goin' down over there to bring back a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women venture my command

I got a real gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got a real gypsy woman givin' me advice
Well I don't know what she want but she sure looks mighty nice
All right!

(instrumental)

(x3):
I got my mojo workin' (I got my mojo workin') (this line x4)
I got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you

Fox On The Run - Manfred Mann

She walked through the corn leading down to the river.
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.

Everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall.
This woman tempted me all right, then took me for a ride
But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.

Come take a glass of wine and fortify your soul.
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know.
I'll illustrate, a girl put me on the floor.
The game is nearly up, the hounds are at my door.

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run

Get Up, Stand Up - Bob Marley

I say we're sick and tired of your poison technology
Slowly, surely, killing all humanity
We know when we understand:
Mighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can not fool all the people all the time.
So now you see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights!
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Preacher man don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What Jah life is really worth
It's not all the glitters is gold
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Well I stand next to a mountain

Concrete Jungle - Bob Marley

No sun will shine in my day today
The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
I said darkness has covered my light,
And the stage my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found?
Won't someone tell me?
'Cause my life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle,
Where the living is harder.
Concrete jungle
Man you got to do your best. Wo-ooh, yeah.

Superstition - Ben Harper

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby, breaks the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is your song
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeah, yeah, yeah
Very superstitious, I got nothing more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, breaks the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no...

Remember - Ben Harper

Won't you remember the mocking bird, my baby bun
He used to sing for dinner, baby
Oh he used to sing for his supper
He used to sing so sweetly
Since my baby left me, he ain't sang for two long days
Oh, remember the blue-birds and the honey bees,
They used to sing for you and me
Oh, They used to sing about you and me
They used to sing so sweetly
But since my baby left me they ain't sang in two long days
Oh won't you please come home
Come on home to me
Make everyday happy as can be
And if you'll leave come on home to me
I'll kiss you for my dinner, baby
I'll kiss you for my supper, yeah!
But if you don't come back you know I'll have to
Starve to death
'Cus I ain't had noon of your loving all day now

Singing sweetly for you and me
Oh the mocking bird, my baby bun

Wicked Man - Ben Harper

Children come running to the truth
But you got to peel the skin to get the food
And while one is living high, another is grieving
But what sweet by morning is bitter by the evening
I say the wicked man shall fall
Wheen the moon chase away the sun
And force my day to run
I shall not fear the darkest night
For I know upon the other side is light
I say the wicked man shall fall
Every man is a common man
And every common has his plan
But while the hungry man seek any food, any food in sight
There's a greedy man who seek only appetite
I say the wicked man shall fall

Not Fire, Not Ice - Ben Harper

There is not a river wide
Not a mountain high
And neither sin nor evil
Could change how I feel inside
Could change how I feel inside
Not all the strength of the ocean
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
Now, others have tried, I just can't deny
To me you are the one
To me you are the one
The true love is priceless
For true love you pay a price
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice
Like a hero or a champion
You are the best, you're the best
Like religion or superstition
With you I am blessed
With you I am blessed
Now the river may grow wider
The mountain may reach past the sky
And wether or not you feel same
My love shall never die
My love shall never die
The true love you give and take
The true love is sacrifice
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice

If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again - Ben Harper

How sweet and happy seem, those days of which I dream
Memory I recall now and then
And with what repture sweet, my weary heart will beat
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could only hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her sweet, tender voice as then
How happy I would be, it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again
Around the old home place, her patient smiling face
Was always bringing comfort, hope and cheer
And when she used to sing to her eternal king
It was the sound I loved to hear
If I could only hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her sweet, tender voice as then
How happy I would be, it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again
She used to pray that I, on Jesus would rely
And always walked the shining gospel way
Her work on earth is done, the life crown has been won
And now she's at rest with Him above
If I could only hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
How happy I would be, it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could only hear my mother pray again
