Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain W.C. Handy -
won't you look down over me Yeah
I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered Tround his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
(Chorus)
They're got catfish on the table
They're got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you're got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
And they asked me if I would - Do a little number
And I sang with all my might And he said -
Tell me are you a Christian child?
And I said Man I am tonight
(Chorus)




. . .



Sometimes I wonder where it is loves goes
I don't know if even Heaven knows
But I know we had dreams
That didn't quite come true
And now I'm not the one,
Little boy, who's keeping you

CHORUS:
I was either standing in your shadow
Or blocking your light
Though I kept on trying
I could not make it right
For this girl
There's not enough love in the world

I know people hurt you so bad
They don't know the damage
They can do, and it makes me so sad
How we knock each other down
Just like children on a playground
Even after that o' sun went down

Chorus

Oh darling this is still a shady little town
And sometimes it's so hard to smile
For the world, for the camera
And still you have something left
You don't have to prove nothing to nobody
Just take good care of yourself

I'm not easy to live with
I know that it's true
You're no picnic either, baby
And that's one of the things
I loved about you
But a time will come around
When we need to settle down
Got to get off this merry-go-round

Chorus




. . .



When you pray with every breath
You know that is free as the love you have
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
There's no peace, you close your eyes
I'm all out of truth, I'm outta alibis
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

CHORUS
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kinda meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand

And his face his heaven sent
He makes me believe there must be something else
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
I can feel the need in you
There isn't a thing, I want you do
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take

CHORUS x 2

We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one One by one

We're gonna love one another

TO FADE: We're gonna love one another
Give up resisting one by one
One by one




. . .



When I was up
You'd always come around
When I need a friend
You could never be found
I got a hole
Where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no
The way you treated me

When time was good, love
All of your lovin' was the same
Oh, when the goin' got rough
Boy, you hardly knew my name
You locked me out
And you threw away the key, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me

Got me cryin for the love
That I'm needin'
Beggin' like a dog for a bone
Boy, I've spent most of my time grievin'
You turn you back
And you leave me, one of these old days

Lord knows that it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll be walking out on you
When you say
As you're beggin' down on your knees, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me

The way you treated me
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No, no I wouldn't do it
No, baby, I couldn't do it
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No baby, the way you treated me




. . .



Well I heard enough
And I've seen enough
And I now now enough to know
I know a good thing when I see it
And it's a bad thing to let go

Well I've been around
I've been up and down
Until I bailed out of control
With your world all in motion
Gonna put a ball
And chain on your soul

CHORUS:
All those angels running
Picking up the pieces
Putting back together hearts
Broke long ago
I know a good thing when I see it
And it's a bad thing to let go

We'll always be lovers
With borders of there own
And you may charge across
In a golden chariot
But you will never be at home

'Cause I had dreams
Like distant thunder
I had hope like a prayer unheard
This nothing less than perfect
In a less than perfect world

Chorus x 2




. . .



You say you want to live some
Move out into the fast lane
You say you need excitement
To make you come alive
Some place a million miles from
The shadows that surround you
I look for your attention
You're lost out in the future
Where lovers ask no questions
And shadows never fall
Some pilgrim bound for paradise
No compromise
Paradise is here

CHORUS:
It's time to stop your crying
The future is this moment
And not some place out there
Tonight I need your love
Don't talk about tomorrow
Right now I need your loving
Right now give it to me
Right now I want your loving
Right now- now, now, now

You talk about your new plans
To move up on the stairway
Your dream about the high life
That's waiting for you there
A world of fame and fortune
That's just around the corner
But I don't need no high life
To make me feel a real man
And I don't need to reach for
No castles in the sky
Just put your arms around me
Devour me
'Cos paradise is here

Chorus

Tonight I need Your loving
Paradise is here





. . .



I've been romanced and I've been danced
Crazy nights and hard times
Life has lost it mystery
And love is blind, and can not find me

Cause I'm blowin' away
And shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowin' away
And shadows keep taking
My love and leaving me

I have past aside my foolish pride
Going down for the very last time
Cause I have searched this earth
And sailed the seas
But love is blind can not find me

Chorus x 2





. . .


Don't come around tonight

I bring a paper
To the cafe on the corner
I catch a movie in the afternoon
I spend an hour
Doing nothing that important
But nothing's what I'm in the mood to do

This peaceful image
Of a seen almost forgotten
Just touched the surface
Of my conscious mind
Of things I used to do
Before I knew you

Chorus:
So don't come around here tonite
But that doesn't mean forever
I trust you to spare us a fight
And humour my endeavour
There was something about you to me
How easier love used to be
Well I just need to know
That I'm all right


If you don't come around tonite

And so I wander
Through the workings of the city
Where every stranger has discovered me
With my desire, my isolation
Somehow I have to make the two agree

And then you vanish
All my thoughts and independance
When you put your hands on me
And I feel these things you do
That I've grown used to

(chorus)

You say I'm the one
You've been searching for
But for myself I would rather be more
Then someone who only aspires
To forfeit your every desire
And nights I've been mad, you are few
Now, all I am asking of you, is

(chorus) (repeat)

. . .



Telling me you don't want to be here
Had enough of life
I see your shoulders falling down the mountain
You once loved to climb
Don't you want to talk about it
Well saying there's no life left inside of you

CHORUS:
What about your loves
What about your dreams
What about the chanced to borrow dreams
What about the moonlight
What about the way you sign
When it touches you

On your knees in the teeth of failure
It's got you gag and bond
You say it's killing you
Well listen now I'm telling you
Your better days are to come
Set your sights on simple beauty
Like the way my eyes shine
When I'm around you

Chorus

Nobody said it would be easy
To take a fall and stand
Just wrap your arms tight around me
And we'll stumble together
Until we learn to dance

Chorus




. . .



Crash the car, this road is going nowhere fast
Burn the bed, where we once laid
Close the door, there's nothing left to say
Walk the streets I know the way
I know the way

CHORUS:
Did you wonder how we got to this place?
And as I watched my world go walking out the door
I see I won the peace but I have lost the war
And I know, I know that love is give
And sometimes take
Next time I won't make the same mistake

Break the chains they couldn't hold you anyway
Pray to God, this too will pass
Raise your glass to old acquaintances and friends
Talk to me, cause I can bend, I can bend

Did you ever think that we turn out this way
And as I watch my world go walking out the door
I see I won the peace, but I have lost the war
And I know, I know that love is give
And sometimes take
Next time baby I won't make the same mistake
Same mistake

Chorus




. . .



When I enter a room
I will only sit facing the door
It's love I'm looking for
As I search every face
I start to wondering is this the place

CHORUS:
For love is a gunman and no mercy has he
He'll hunt you down until the day death sets you free
Love is a gunman and he's coming to town
You'll met his glaze both barrels blaze
Staring you down
Love is the gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are set on me

You can run, you can hide,
You can even saddle up and ride
But love won't be deny
You can wear a disguise
But it isn't fooled by alibis

Chorus

For love is a gunman, love is a gunman
Love is a gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are fixed on me




. . .



Loneliness is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there

CHORUS:
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love

Baby emptiness is a place you're in
Nothing to lose
But no more to win

Chorus

Lonely without you, baby
Boy I need you
I can't go on

Chorus

Loneliness is a coat you wear
The dark shade of blue is always there

Chorus x 2




. . .



Magic, logic
The system works, but not for me
Look beyond the nearest moment
And you'll see
The shape of things to come

Somewhere deep in the city
I can feel you I know you're here
Baby, I'm just a pussy-cat
But not a one that you should fear

One, two, always love you
One, two, move up above you
Two, two, right in the face
Yes sir, no sir, three bags full so

The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Let me get you outta here

Tragic, logic
The system hurts, but not for me
I look beyond the fairest moment
And I say

The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come

Somewhere deep in the system
I can see you but you're not clear
A simple case of error correction
Come on baby, get your ass in gear

One, two, always love you
One, two, move up above you
Two, two, right in the face
Of sir, no sir, three bags full so

The shape of things to come
Let me get your outta here
The shape of things to come
Look into my eyes and I'll make your day
The shape of things to come
Good things, great things, all just same things
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come




. . .


This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it would be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl

You see man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electric lights
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made the ark
This is a man's man's, man's world
But it would be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks of little baby girls And the baby boys
Man make them happy 'Cause man makes them toys
And after man make everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in the bitterness
He's lost, lost and .....
