I Found Love
I WANNA, SHOUT IT
FROM THE HIGHEST STEEPLE
TELL IT TO A MILLION PEOPLE
WHEN I FOUND LOVE,
COULDN’T SEE- FOR LOOKING
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
NOW I’VE OPENED UP MY HEART
I SEE THE LOVE INSIDE
2
I WANNA SING IT—SING IT OUT LOUD
TAKE IT TO THE HIGHEST CLOUD
WHEN I FOUND LOVE--TOO MANY YEARS- WITHOUT IT
I WAS BITTER AND COLD
BUT SINCE I LET YOU INTO MY LIFE
SWEET LOVE UNTOLD
WHEN I FOUND LOVE
3
FEEL IT DEEP DOWN IN YOUR SOUL
MAKE IT YOUR HIGHEST GOAL
THEN YOU’LL FIND LOVE- TOO MANY HEARTS ARE BROKEN
NO NEED FOR SELFISH WAYS
AND WHEN YOU OPEN UP YOUR HEART
SWEET LOVE TO STAY.
WHEN I FOUND LOVE
(REPEAT VERSE 1)
WHEN I FOUND LOVE…
WHEN I FOUND LOVE..
SWEET SWEET LOVE….
TALKING BOUT LOVE………….

STUCK IN ALL DAY
IT FEELS LIKE THIS OLD WORLD’S STOPPED TURNIN’ ROUND
WHEN LOCKDOWN - CAME TO OUR TOWN
WISH I WAS DOWN AT SMOKIE JOES’
BLOWIN’ HARP - TILL THE ROOSTER CROWS
I’M MISSING ALL MY FAMILY
AND MY SWEET BABY TOO
I’M STARING OUT THE WINDOW, LOOKIN' FOR A CLUE
JAMMING WITH MY FRIENDS, OH I WISH THERE WAS A WAY
THERES NOTHING WE CAN DO STUCK IN ALL DAY
CHORUS
STUCK IN ALL DAY, THAT’S HOW IT IS
STUCK IN ALL DAY, I GOT THE LONESOME BLUES
STUCK IN ALL DAY, AINT NO ESCAPE
STUCK IN ALL DAY, DON’T EVEN NEED MY SHOES NO NO!
IT AINT NO USE IN CRYING,
WE GOTTA LIVE IT OUT
AINT GONNA STOP ME THINKING,
I WANNA SCREAM AND SHOUT
SO I’LL JUST KEEP ON HOPING,
THAT SOON THEYLL FIND A WAY
THEN I CAN PLAY THAT JUTE JOINT,
NOT BE STUCK IN ALL DAY

I Took A Dive
03:37
|
|||
|
I TOOK A DIVE
I’VE BEEN WALKING DOWN THE ROAD
I’VE BEEN THINKING WHAT YOU SAID
DRAGGIN’ ON A CIGARETTE
EVEN THOUGH I’M SOAKING WET
I’VE BEEN TALKING TO MYSELF
TELLING ME, I WILL REGRET
2
I’VE BEEN STARING AT THE MOON
I’VE BEEN SLEEPING WHERE I CAN
I’M A SAD AND LONELY MAN
SINCE MY HEART ACHE’N BEGAN
WHEN YOU THREW ME OUT THE DOOR
I WAS WASHED UP ON THE SHORE
CHORUS
I TOOK A DIVE – INTO AN EMPTY POOL
A POOL OF TEARS – AND NOW I’M THE BROKEN FOOL
WHO’S TREATING YOU LIKE I DO.
3
I SPEND MY COLD AND TROUBLED NIGHTS
IN SOME DOORWAY,IN MY BAG
WONDERING HOW IT CAME TO THIS
THINKING BOUT THE TIMES WE HAD
BUT IT WAS ME THAT TOOK THAT DIVE
AND THERE AIN’T NO TURNING BACK

It's A Fool
02:55
|

|
IT'S A FOOL
I’ve seen you mistreating your baby
Treating her with no respect
Taking her for granted
Instead of placing jewels around her neck
Are you in need of a doctor
Did your head just take a hit?
It’s a fool who gets a treasure
And then squanders it
You can’t just take without giving
One day the well will run dry
Gotta love, squeeze and cherish that girl
Else you’ll lose your butterfly
Are you in need of more schoolin’?
ain’t you learned your lesson yet
It’s a fool who gets a treasure
then squanders it
It’s a fool, Ooh ooh ooh
It’s a fool, Oh yeah
Who has a girl so special
And treats her oh so cruel
Are you in need of more schoolin’?
ain’t you learned your lesson yet
It’s a fool who gets a treasure
And then squanders it

Your Beautiful Skin

Your Beautiful Skin
I met a man and we talked all night
He told me of the pain in his life
As a child he was torn from his kin
9 years starved of Momma’s loving
He was taught who he was ain’t right
He’d be better if he were white
Oh and that just ain't right
And that just ain’t true
I love your beautiful skin
oh your beautiful skin
I met a woman who became a friend
She would read to me the words she’d penned
Harsh things about life outside
Made to feel that she had to hide
The res angel who could never fly
She was stolen away from her tribe
Land taken, she was left alone, First Nation in a foster home
God loves your beautiful skin
Oh your beautiful skin
He walks the red road you’re walking
God loves your beautiful skin
All of the missing years
All that was taken
I had a dream where the raven spoke
I saw the healing in the sweetgrass smoke
All Nations on the good road, Every wrong made right.

OL’ JOANNA
I REMEMBER THOSE NIGHTS AROUND THE OL’ JOANNA
THAT’S WHAT MOMMA CALLED HER OL’ PIANO
THE FAMILY OVER SINGING SONGS
MAKING MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG
OH WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE OLD JOANNA
I COULD HARDLY WAIT TILL I GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL
JUST TO POUND THOSE 88’S IN MUMMA’S LIVING ROOM
CHICAGO BLUES OR TEXICANA
WHAT WE SANG IT JUST DIDN’T MATTER
AS LONG AS WE HAD FUN ON THE OL’ JOANNA
I REMEMBER MAMA TEACHING ME TO PLAY
LEARNING HOW TO BOOGIE WOOGIE IN THE FATS DOMINO WAY
TAKE ME BACK TO THOSE BYGONE DAYS
EVERYONE SANG WHILE MOMMA PLAYED
OH WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO OL’ JOANNA
LIFE TODAY IT JUST DON'T BE THE SAME
PEOPLE SITTING ALONE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
COMPUTERS, PHONES AND TV SCREENS
OLD JOANNA ’S NEVER SEEN
OH BRING BACK THE DAYS OF THE OL’ JOANNA
CHORUS

THERE’S A HOLE IN MY LIFE
THERE’S A HOLE IN MY LIFE
THAT I CAN NEVER FILL
I’VE TRIED IN VAIN TO HEAL IT
I /DON’T THINK I EVER WILL
KEEPS GETTING DEEPER
SINCE /YOU WALKED OUT ON ME
2
THERE’S A HOLE IN MY LIFE
THAT I’M FALLING THROUGH
DON’T THINK I’LL EVER MAKE IT
EVERY /DAY I’M MISSING YOU
SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE I’M SINKING
LIKE A/ SHIPWRECK OUT AT SEA
CHORUS
I SHOULD FIX THAT HOLE
THAT BIG HOLE IN MY LIFE
I CAN’T COUNT THE MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED
WHEN I /THINK I’VE FOUND SOMEBODY
TO SOMEHOW TAKE YOUR PLACE
WHEN I /LOOK INTO HER EYES
I CAN ONLY SEE YOUR FACE
3
THERE’S A HOLE IN MY LIFE
FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
I’VE TRIED IN VAIN TO HIDE IT
BUT IT’S ALWAYS HERE WITH ME
I’VE JUST GOT TO FIGHT IT
I GOT TO FIND THE KEY.
THERE’S A HOLE IN MY LIFE
SINCE YOU WALKED OUT ON ME

INFATUATION BLUES
THERE’S A GIRL I KNOW MAKING ME FEEL BAD
SHE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE BUTTER, IN HER HAND
AND ALL SHE HAS TO DO IS CALL
AND I COME RUNNING LIKE THE FOOL THAT I AM
2
SO I WENT DOWN TO THE DOCTOR’S
TO SEE WHAT HE COULD DO
HE SAID HOLD ON SON, LOOKS LIKE A CASE,
OF INFATUATION BLUES
CHORUS
I GOT A CASE OF, INFATUATION BLUES
NO PRESCRIPTION, THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO .
I CANT GET HER OUTTA MY HEAD IT’S TRUE
IT’S WORSE THAN A DOSE OF THE FLU
INFATUATION BLUES
3
SHE JUST TEXTED ME SAID TO HURRY BY
SHE WANTED TO GO CRUISING IN MY VAN
WHEN WE STOPPED BY THE HOTDOG STAND
SHE STARTED FLIRTING WITH ANOTHER MAN!
4
I’VE TRIED HARD TO JUST FORGET HER
BUT EVERY TIME I TRY
SHE CALLS AGAIN TO MAKE ME BLUE
AND I CAN NEVER ASK HER WHY

LITTLE BIT OF WHAT YOU’RE LEARNIN’
TELL ME ‘LITTLE BIT OF WHAT YOU’RE LEARNIN’
HOW D’YA KEEP YOUR SPIRITS HIGH?
TELL ME ‘LITTLE BIT OF WHAT YOU’RE LEARNIN’
DADDY, WON’T YOU TELL ME WHY?
1
SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR LOVER
SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS
TAKE A LONG STROLL WITH YOUR CHILDREN
REMEMBER THAT LOVE NEVER ENDS
2
GOTTA GIVE ATTENTION TO YOUR HEADSPACE
FEED YOUR CREATIVE SOUL
NEVER LOOSE SIGHT OF YOUR AMBITION
AND ALWAYS LET YOUR MUSIC FLOW
3
LISTEN HOW THE BIRDS ARE SINGING
LOOK INTO THE DEEP BLUE SKY
TAKE A GOOD BREAK FROM BUSINESS
LET YOUR INNER FEELINGS SHOW.
4
REMEMBER YOU’RE PART OF A FAMILY
YOU CAN’T FIX IT ON OUR OWN
THERE’S BEAUTY IN VULNERABILITY
WEAKNESS IS THE HIGHER ROAD.
5
SURE TO BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER SON
WHETHER IT’S A STRANGER OR A FRIEND
KEEP ON SMILING,SPREAD A LITTLE JOY
AND LOVE WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU IN THE END.

JUST LIKE MUDDY WATERS SAID
CHORUS
I’VE GOT MY MOJO BACK,
IT’S BEEN AWAY TOO LONG
I MET A GIRL WHO PLAYS THE BLUES
I KNOW I CAN’T GO WRONG
GOT MY MOJO WORKING
JUST LIKE MUDDY WATERS SAID
1
I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
MY GIRLS PLAYING HER GUITAR
SINGING BESSIE SMITH AND BONNIE RAITT
I WANNA BE HER KING BEE,
AND NOT HER ONE NIGHT DATE.
2
I MET HER AT THE BLUES JOINT
WHERE SHE WAS PLAYING IN THE BAND
SHE SMILED AT ME AND GRABBED ME UP TO DANCE
THEN SHE WHISPERED IN MY EAR
BE MY HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN
3
I JUST LOVE MY BLUESY GIRL
SHE GOT YOUNG FASHIONED WAYS
SINGS/ ROCK ME BABY, ROCK ME ALL NIGHT LONG
SHE GIVES ME INSPIRATION
WITH EVERY SINGLE SONG.

Hard To Make A Crust
03:29
|

Hard to make a Crust
Rise up early
Beat the sun to the sky
Working late because I must
Joints are aching, back is breaking
It’s so hard to make a crust
Workin’ 3 or 4 jobs
To raise a family
Working poor is so unjust
Hard to get ahead
Debt keeps you in the red
It’s so hard to make a crust
All my dreams are an unresolved fable
Not enough to put food on the table
Though the road be dust
Give it all or bust
It’s so hard to make a crust
The roof needs mending
kids shoes are leaking
Losing sight of faith and trust
No money in the bank
No gas left in the tank
It's so hard to make a crust
I'll keep pressing on
Gotta keep looking up
I won't let my song be crushed
Like every working man
I’m doing the best I can
It's just hard to make a crust.

What They Did

What They Did
Let’s hear it for the hero’s they never wanted praise
They’ll never know how grateful we are
They fought through all the darkness
They gave us light to find
The hope we lost through evil and pain
Chorus
And we’ll always remember what they did, what they did
To keep us safe and keep us free
They’ll all go down in history what they did what they did
To make a better world for you and me
And here’s one for the angels on the front line
Their only goal to help us survive
And all the unsung heroes they never compromised
Left us all to sleep at night
And we’ll always remember what they did, what they did
To keep us safe and keep us free
They’ll all go down in history
What they did what they did
To make a better world for you and me

The British Way
Bombing down the Harwich road
Down the A133
Me and my brothers out riding
Heading down to Clacton on sea
Me on the Bonneville
Gary on the BSA
And Dougie on the Ariel
We’re burnin’ it up on Marine Parade
Sun shining on Chrome
Crashed the gears passing the pier
Louder than a megaphone
Me on the Bonneville
Gary on the BSA
And Dougie on the Ariel
And we’re riding
Motorbike riding
Doing it the British way
Then we went for a couple of beers
At the full-throttle cafe
Some bullet riding Essex girls
Were showing us the 'feelgood' way
Me on the Bonneville
Gary on the BSA
And Dougie on the Ariel
And we’re riding
Motorbike riding
Doing it the British way
(spoken)
Who’s that riding behind
Humming on the Norton
Doug senior on the Enfield Running hot
Here comes Ali, Ali’s on the Vincent
Woah she looks sweet!
Let’s head on back to Colchester
See you at the Headgate
