Out of the blue and into the black You pay for this, but they give you that Once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue And into the black The king is gone but he's not forgotten Is this the story of Johnny Rotten? It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps The king is gone but he's not forgotten Hey hey, my my Rock and roll can never die There's more to the picture Than meets the eye. SONG@ CRIME IN THE CITY Well the cop made the showdown He was sure he was right He had all of the lowdown From the bank heist last night His best friend was the robber And his wife was a thief All the children were killers They couldn't get no relief The bungalow was surrounded When a voice loud and clear Said, "Come on out with your hands up Or we'll blow you out ofhere." There was a face in the window The TV cameras rolled Then they cut to the announcer And the story was told The artist looked at the producer The producer sat back He said, "What we have got here Is a perfect track But we don't have a vocal And we don't have a song If we could get these things accomplished Nothin' else could go wrong." So he balanced the ashtray As he picked up the phone And said, "Send me a songwriter Who's drifted far from home And make sure that he's hungry Make sure he's alone Send me a cheeseburger And a new Rolling Stone." Yeah "There's still crime in the city," Said the cop on the beat, "I don't know if I can stop it I feel like meat on the street They paint my car like a target I take my orders from ools Meanwhile some kid blows my head off Well I play by their rules That's why I'm doin' it my way I took the law in my hands So here I am in the alleyway A wad of cash in my pants I get paid by a ten year old He says he looks up to me There's still crime in the city But it's good to be free." Yeah Now I come from a family That has a broken home Sometimes I talk to Daddy On the telephone When he says that he loves me I know that he does But I wish I could see him I wish I knew where he was But that's the way all my friends are Except maybe one or two Wish I could see him this weekend Wish I could walk in his shoes But now I'm doin' my own thing Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad Although my home has been broken It's the best home I ever had Yeah Well I keep gettin' younger My lie's been funny that way Before I ever learned to talk I forgot what to say I sassed back to my mom I sassed back to my teacher I got thrown out of Bible school For sassin' back to the preacher Then I grew up to be a firemaan Put out every fire in town Put out anything smokin' But when I put the hose down The judge sent me to prison He gave me life without parole Wish I never put the hose down Wish I never got old SONG@ BLOWIN' IN THE WIND (Bob Dylan) How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man How many seas must the white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they are forever banned The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist Before it washed to the sea Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky Yes, and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind SONG@ WELFARE MOTHERS People, pick up on what I'm puttin' down now Welfare mothers make better lovers Down at every laundromat in town now Welfare mothers make better lovers While they're washin' you can hear this sound now Welfare mothers make better lovers DEE VORR CEE! Hard to believe that love is free now Welfare mothers make better lovers Out on the street with the whole family now Welfare mothers make better lovers Hard to believe that love is free now Welfare mothers make better lovers DEE VORR CEE! People, pick up on what I'm puttin' down now Welfare mothers make better lovers Down at every laundromat in town now Welfare mothers make better lovers While they're washin' you can hear this sound now Welfare mothers make better lovers DEE VORR CEE! SONG@ LOVE TO BURN Late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts. A spirit came to me and said: "You gotta move to start". "You gotta take the first step". "You gotta grow to be tall". And then she me told something, something that I'll never forget. [Chorus] You got love to burn. You better take your chance on love. You got let your card down You better take chance, a chance on love (on love) Take chance on love (on love) On love On love In a valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time "Why'd you ruin my life?" "Where you takin' my kid?" And they hold each other saying: "How did it come to to this?" [Chorus] (repeat first verse) SONG@ CINNAMON GIRL I wanna live with a Cinnamon Girl, I can be happy the rest of my life with a Cinnamon Girl. A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night, You see us together, chasin' the moonlight, My Cinnamon Girl. Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow, The drummer relaxes and waits between shows For the Cinnamon Girl. A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night, You see us together, chasin' the moonlight, My Cinnamon Girl. Pa sent me money, now I'm gonna make it somehow, I need another chance. You see your baby loves to dance SONG@ MANSION ON THE HILL Well I saw an old man walking in my place And he looked at me, it couldn't be my face He's words were kind but he's eyes were wild He said: "I got load to love, but I want one more child" [Chorus] There's mansion on a the hill Psychedelic music fills the air Peace and love live there still In that mansion on the hill There's mansion on a the hill Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one I was in hurry but that don't matter now 'Cause I have to get off that road of tears somehow [Chorus] repeat and fade SONG@ F*!#IN' UP (why do I) Why do I keep fuckin' up Dogs that lick and dogs that bite (why do I) Hounds that howl through the night (why do I) Broken leashes are all over the floor (why do I) Keys left hanging in a swinging door (why do I) Why do I keep fuckin' up Keep fuckin' up SONG@ CORTEZ THE KILLER He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world In that palace in the sun On the shore lay Montezuma With his coca leaves and pearls In his halls he often wandered With the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered 'round him Like the leaves around a tree In their clothes of many colours For the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful And the men stood straight and strong They offered life in sacrifice So that others could go on. Hate was just a legend And war was never known The people worked together And they lifted many stones They carried them to the flatlands And they died along the way But they built up with their bare hands What we still can't do today. And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I still can't rememebr when Or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez What a killer. SONG@ POWDERFINGER Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John, 'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun and it's makin' big waves. Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou Seems the Powers That Be left me here to do the thinkin' And I just turned twenty two I was wonderin' what to do And the closer they got, The more those feelin's grew. Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin' He told me, "Red means run, son, and numbers add up to nothin'" When the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin' Raised my rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why. Then I saw black, and my face splashed in the sky. Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger Think of me as one you'd never figured Would fade away so young With so much left undone Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her. SONG@ LOVE AND ONLY LOVE Long ago in book of old, before the chapter were dreams unfold A battle raged on open page, Love was a winner there overcoming hate Like a little girl who couldn't wait [Chorus] Love and only love will endure Hate is everything you think it is Love and only love will break it down Love and only love, will break it down Break it down Break it down Tomorrow is a long long time if you're a memory Trying to find piece of mind Spirit come to me, give strength and set me free Let me feel the magic in my heart [Chorus] (repeat first verse) Love and only love will endure Hate is everything you think it is Love and only love will break it down Love and only love SONG@ ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' We'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan But I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can CHORUS Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world I see a girl in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away And she's gone to get a hit She hates her life And what she's done to it That's one more kid That will never go to school Never get to fall in love Never get to be cool CHORUS SONG@ LIKE A HURRICANE Once I thought I saw you In a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light From star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes Turning once the bar. You are like a hurricane There's harm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away Somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm gettin' blown away I am just a dreamer, But you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's harm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away Somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm gettin' blown away You are just a dreamer, But I am just a dream. You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's harm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away Somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm gettin' blown away.

SONG@ TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van A sparkle was in his eye But his life was in his hands Well, late at night when the people were gone He used to pick up my guitar And sing a song in a shaky voice That was real as the day was long Tonight's the night (yes it is), Tonight's the night Tonight's the night (yes it is), Tonight's the night Early in the mornin' at the break of day He used to sleep until the afternoon If you never heard him sing I guess you won't too soon 'Cause people let me tell you It sent a chill up and down my spine When I picked up the telephone And heard that he'd died out on the mainline. Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Bruce Berry was a working man He used to load that Econoline van Well, early in the morning at the break of day He used to sleep until the afternoon. Tonight's the night (yes it is), Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night Tonight's the night, Tonight's the night SONG@ ROLL ANOTHER NUMBER It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition, And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament. But before too long I might see those flashing red lights; Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight. [Chorus] Think I'll roll another number for the road, I feel able to get under any load. Though my feet aren't on the ground, I been standin' on the sound Of some open hearted people goin' down. I'm not goin' back to Woodstock for a while, Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile. I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day; No, I don't believe I'll be goin' back that way. [Chorus]
