Jackson Browne - About My Imagination (2002) Live 2008

Album: The Naked Ride Home (2002 Elektra)

File:Jackson Browne - The Naked Ride Home.jpg

LYRICS:

I kept my eyes open and tried to see
The point of what went on in front of me
I kept what moved me, forgot about the rest
And took my young imagination to the acid test

And it was easy then to say what love could do
It's so easy when your world is new

It's been so hard sometimes to find my way
I let my pleasure lead my little world astray
And if I'm truthful I'll say that I was blind
To everything about this life but what I had in mind

And it was easy then to say where love could go
It's so easy when there's so much you don't know

About my imagination, it got me through somehow
Without my imagination, I wouldn't be here now

And it was easy then when love was guaranteed
It's so easy when love is all you need

About my imagination
I'm making this investigation
Into my imagination
According to my computations
We're overdue for a transformation
Or is it my imagination?

I keep my eyes open and try to see
This life in terms of possibility
With so much changing, and changing for the worse
You got to keep your head up, Baby
From the cradle to the hearse

And it was easy then to say where love could go
It's so easy when love is all you know

About my imagination
I'm getting ready for the celebration
I'm bringing my imagination
Taking charge of my elevation
No fear, no trepidation
Register my affirmation
No doubt, no hesitation
People get ready for the embarkation

About my imagination
Calling out across the nation
It's time for some kind of re-dedication
Not talking 'bout just my generation
I'm sending out this invocation
I keep getting these excitations
More light, more love
More truth, and more innovation

Paul McCartney -Your Loving Flame (2001)



Paul McCartney
"Your Loving Flame"
Album: Driving Rain (2001 Parlophone/EMI)

SINGLE:



LYRICS:

(McCartney)

How can I hope to reach your love
Help me to discover
What it is you're thinking of

'Cos when we kiss, nothing feels the same
I could spend eternity
Inside your loving flame

What am I to do
If I don't have you
I'll be feeling blue
Just sitting here without you
You could be the one
To chase my blues away, away

So tell me how, how to reach your love
Help me to discover
What it is you're thinking of

'Cos when we kiss, nothing feels the same
I could spend eternity
Inside your loving flame

What am I to do
If I don't have you
I'll be feeling blue
Just sitting here without you
You could be the one
To chase my blues away, away

'Cos when we kiss, nothing feels the same
I could spend eternity
Inside your loving flame

So tell me how, how to reach your love
Help me to discover
What it is you're thinking of

How can I hope to reach your love
Here forever in your loving flame

Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet (1997)

"Not Dark Yet"
Album: Time Out of Mine (1997 Columbia)

SINGLE:

File:Bob Dylan-Not Dark Yet.jpg

LYRICS:

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

"She Walks in So Many Ways"
Album: Mockinbird Time (2011 Rounder)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:

She walks in so many ways,
She wonders alone in the shame,
She shakes herself in the glass,
And whispers all things will be silenced.
She turns herself with the scene,
Clouds burst, our eyes never meet
..slow as a.. in the sunshine.

Where you go, don’t let go,
Where you stand
I will stand stronger than the wind.

We live in houses of light,
Our dreams stay with us at night,
She whispers all things is all right,
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
All things are just as they should be!

Goodbye…
She moves among them,
She lives among them.
Where you go, don’t let go,
Where you stand
I will stand stronger than the wind.

She walks in so many ways,
She wonders alone in the shame,
She shakes herself in the glass,
And whispers all things will be silenced.

Peace will come
This world will rest
Once we have togetherness

Day or night

We had fun
But it's just begun
It's just begun
It's just begun

It's just begun (x 28)

SINGLE:

File:Blondie - Heart Of Glass (UK).jpg

LYRICS:

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out I had a heart of glass [radio version]
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass [album version]
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Much of mistrust, love's gone behind

Wilco - Born Alone (2011) Live



Wilco
"Born Alone"
Album: The Whole Love (2011 dBpm)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:

I have heard the wall and worry of the gospel
Ferry faust it crossed a void
I have married broken spoke charging smoke wheels
Spit and swallowed opioid

I am the driver at the wheel of the order
Marching circles at the gate
My eyes have seen the fury
So flattered by fate

Tonight I'd rather count the warm fuse internally
Subtract the silence of myself
I would rather choose a million mind of mystery

Reverse a riddle for my health

I'll unwind strange rinds overpower me
Toss the chimneys in the sea
I believe I've seen the finger
Divine extremity

Please come closer to the feather smooth lens fire
Sadness is my luxury
Will you ever join the cult come before I die
More aware of it than me

Without the blowing stone
The kids are unabashed
Loneliness postponed
My eyes deceiving glory
I was born to die alone

Alone

File:This is the right time.jpg

LYRICS:

This is the right time to believe in love

Ooh yeah yeah yeah
Ooh oh oh

Everyone knows, if you don't demand it shows
That you understand the light shining inside us
It's more than tonight, it's forever more, it's right
When there's someone there through the night to hold you close

You know it's all that you'll ever need
'Cause you're seeing love, and seeing it clearly
There's no doubt about it, you just have to shout out

[Chorus]
This is the right time, this is the right time
I can see it in your eye
This is the right time to believe in love

Everyone knows it's a special thing, it's a love
That will never, ever be wrong, 'cause this love is strong

You know it's all that you'll ever need
'Cause you're seeing love, and seeing it clearly
There's no doubt about it, you just have to shout out

[Chorus: x2]

So when you know that there's someone there you want
And you want him so tonight, more than you've ever done anyone

You know it's all that you'll ever need
'Cause you're seeing love, and seeing it clearly
There's no doubt about it, you just have to shout out

[Chorus: x2]

Well do you believe baby
'Cause I believe baby
Do you believe baby

This is the right time, this is the right time
This is the right time to believe in love
This is the right time, this is the right time
This is the right time to believe in love

Ron Sexsmith - Believe It When I See It (2011) Live-Studio



Ron Sexsmith
"Believe It When I See"
Album: Long Player Late Bloomer (2011 Cooking Vinyl)

ALBUM:



LYRICS

Whistling over trestles
And past the graveyard sign
We cast our wayward line
Inside a wishing well
We've just a wish and an empty vessel
A hole to fill with days
On a road where children stray
Then pray there is no hell
And as for heaven, well
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
This ain't no random shuffle
There's reason in these rhymes
A season and a time
In a climate of fear and blood
In the tavern two men did scuffle
Their drunken battle moaned
They groaned like cattle groan
No diamonds here in the rough
And as for peace and love
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
And when faced with a difficult decision
Would you listen to your heart or mind
We're bound to waste all our free will and ambition
If we got no vision
and we got no spine
And as for peace of mind
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
If seeing
If seeing is believing
I'll believe it
Believe it when i see it
I'll believe it when i see it
With my own two eyes
See it with my own two eyes

SINGLE:



LYRICS:

I could take a hint from you
I could take a little hint from you
And I'd run away
I'd run away with you baby

You said a couple things to me
You said a couple things that showed your place
But how may ways, how many ways can I say it

So we had a little baby boy
But we knew it wouldn't last too long
Kind of what I had in mind
But what I had in mind was strong

I recall a side of you
I recall a different side of you
But I'd run away, I'd run away with you baby
I'd run away, I'd run away with you baby

So we had a little baby boy
But we knew it wouldn't last too long
Kind of what I had in mind
But what I had in mind was strong

I could take a hint from you
I could take a little hint from you
And I'd run away, I'd run away with you baby
I'd run away, I'd run away with you baby
I'd run away, I'd run away with you baby
I'd run away, I'd run away with you baby

LYRICS:

He was so kind, such a gentleman tied to the Oceanside
Lightin a match on the suitcases latch in the fadin of night
Ruffled the fur of the collie neath the table
Ran out the door through the dark
Carved out his initials in the bar
When the earth shook that was all that it took for the dream to break
All the loose ends would surround me again in the shape of your face
What makes me love you despite the reservations
What do I see in your eyes besides my reflection hang in time
Are you off somewhere reciting incantations
Sim sala bim on your tongue
Carving off the hair of someone's young
Remember when you had me cut your hair
Call me Delilah then I wouldn't care

There's people letter-writing until the ink turns green
Trying to ruin reputation, send it to a magazine,

"Tulsa Queen"
Album: Luxury Liner (1977 Warner)

ALBUM:



LYRICS:

(Emmylou Harris/Rodney Crowell)

I heard the train
In the Tulsa night
Calling out my name
Looking for a fight
She's come a long, long way
Got a longer way to go
So tell me how a train from Tulsa
Has got a right to know
She sings a song
So sad and high
And the Tulsa Queen
Don't ever lie
And she don't care where she goes
Don't care where she's been
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying
'Cause I won't see you again
And I want to ride
Like a Tulsa Queen
Calling out to you
As she calls to me
As far away from Tulsa
As these ten wheels can be
Lately I speak
Your name too loud
Each time it comes up
In a crowd
And I know it when I do
The Tulsa Queen and you
Are gone...
