You've got to be all mine, all mine

2. MANIAC DEPRESSION

Manic Depression's touching my soul,
I know what I want,
But I just don't know how to go about getting it.

Feeling, sweet feeling
Drops from my finger, fingers
Manic depression's captured my soul.

Woman so willing the sweet cause in vain,
You make love,
You break love,
It's-a all the same when it's...
When it's over.

Music sweet music,
I wish I could caress, caress, caress.
Manic depression's a frustrating mess.
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off an' go on down.

Really ain't no use me hanging around.
Oh, I gotta see you.


3. RED HOUSE

There's a Red House over yonder,
That's where my baby stays.
There's a Red House over yonder, baby,
That's where my baby stays.

Well, I ain't been home to see my baby,
In ninety nine and one half days.
'Bout time I see her,
Wait a minute something's wrong here
The key won't unlock the door.

Wait a minute something's wrong baby,
Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door,
Something's goin' on here.
I have a bad bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more.

That's all right, I still got my guitar
Look out now . . .

I might as well go on back down
Go back 'cross yonder over the hill
I might as well go back over yonder
Way back over yonder 'cross the hill,
(That's where I came from.)

'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,
I know her sister will!


4. CAN YOU SEE ME?

Can you see me blaming you on my knees?
Wo yeah.
Can you see me, baby,
Baby please don't leave.
Yeah if you can see me doing that
You can see in the future of a thousand years.

Can you hear me?
Crying all over town?
Yeah babe
Can you hear me baby,
Crying cause you put me down?
(What's with ya)
If you can hear me doing that you can
Hear a freight train coming from a thousand miles.

Ah yeah
Can you hear me
Singing this song to you?
(Oh, you gotta listen to me, baby)
Ah you better hold up your ears?
Can you see me baby,
Singing this song to you?
(Ah shucks)
If you can hear me sing
You better come home like you s'posed to do

Can you see me?
Hey hey
I don't believe you can hear me,
Wo yeah.
Can you hear me baby,
I don't believe you can.
You can't see me.


5. LOVE OR CONFUSION

Is that the stars in the sky or is it raining far from now?
Will it burn me if I touch the sun,
So bit, so round?
Will I be truthful, yeah,
In choosing you as the one for me?

Is this love baby,
Or is it-a just confusion?

Oh, my mind is so mixed up, goin' round 'n' round_
Must there be all these colors without names,
Without sounds?
My heart burns with feelin' but
Oh! but my mind is cold and reeling.

Is this love, baby
Or is it confusion?

Oh, my head is pounding pounding
Going 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
Must there always be these colors?


6. I DON'T LIVE TODAY

Will I live tomorrow?
Well I just can't say.
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say.

But I know for sure
I Don't Live Today.

No sun coming through my windows,
Feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave.
No sun coming through my windows,
Feel like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave.

I wish you'd hurry up 'n' rescue me
So I can be on my mis'rable way

I don't live today;
It's such a shame to waste you time away like this.

Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say.
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say

But I know for sure
I don't live today.


7. MAY THIS BE LOVE

Waterfall, nothing can harm me at all,
My worries seem so very small
With my waterfall.

I can see my rainbow calling me
Through the mystery
Of my waterfall.

Some people say day-dreaming's
For the lazy minded fools
With nothing else to do.

So let them laugh, laugh at me,
So just as long as I have you
To see me through,
I have nothing to lose 'long as I have you.

Waterfall, don't ever choose your ways.
Come with me for a million days,
Oh, my waterfall


8. FIRE

Alright,
Now listen, baby

You don't care for me
I don'-a care about that
Gotta new fool, ha!
I like it like that

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire [Repeat 4 times]

Listen here, baby
And stop acting so crazy
You say your mum ain't home,
It ain't my concern,
Just play with me and you won't get burned

I have only one itching desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire [Repeat 4 times]

Oh! Move over, Rover
And let Jimi take over
Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout
Yeah, get on with it, baby
That's what I'm talking 'bout
Now dig this!
Ha!
Now listen, baby

You try to gimme your money
You better save it, babe
Save it for your rainy day

I have only one burning desire
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire


9. THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN

[Verse 1]
Oh strange beautiful grass of green
With your majestic silken scenes
Your mysterious mountains
I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine

[Verse 2]
Although your world wonders me
With your majestic superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand
So to you I wish to put an end
And you'll never hear surf music again


10. REMEMBER

Oh, remember the mocking bird, my baby bun
He used to sing for his supper, baby
Yes he used to sing for his supper, babe
He used to sing so sweet
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 sunshine
They used to sing for the flowers
They used to sing so sweet
But since my baby left me they ain't sang in two long days
Hey pretty baby, come on back to me
Make ev'ry body as happy as can be
So, baby, if you'll please come home again you know I'll
Kiss you for my supper,
You know I'll kiss you for my dinner, yeah!
But, ah, if you don't come back you know I'll have to
Starve to death
'Cus I ain't had one kiss all day now
Please remember
You've got to remember
You've got to remember our love
Come on back, baby, come on back in my arms,
I'll make ev'rything that better
Come on, baby, hurry up now
Can you hear me calling you back again now?
Come on, baby, stop jiving around, hurry home, hurry home


11. ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?

If you can just get your mind together
Then come across to me
We'll hold hands an' then we'll watch the sun rise
f
From the bottom of the sea
But first

Are You Experienced?
Ah! Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have

I know, I know
you'll probably scream n' cry
That your little world won't let go
But who in your measly little world are trying to prove that
You're made out of gold and -a can't be sold

So-er, Are You Experienced?
Ah! Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have

Ah, let me prove it to you
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will
If you just take hold of my hand

Ah! But are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?

Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful


12. HEY JOE

13. STONE FREE

Everyday in the week I'm in a different city
If I stay too long people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog
Talkin' about the clothes I wear

14. PURPLE HAZE

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me help me
Oh no no...no

Yeah
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

No, help me aw yeah! Oh no no no oh help me...


15. 51 ST ANNIVERSARY

51st anniversary

A fifty years they've been married
And they can't wait for their fifty first to roll around
Yeah, roll around
A thirty years they've been married
And now they're old and happy and they settle down
Settle down yeah!
Twenty years they've been married
And they did everything that could be done
You know their havin' fun

And then you come along and talk about

So you say you wanna be married
I'm gonna change your mind
Oh got to change
That was the good side baby
Here comes the bad side

Ten years they've been married
And a thousand kids run around hungry
Cause their mother's a louse
Daddy's down at the whiskey house
That ain't all

For thirty years they've been married
They don't get along so good
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes
She got another lover
Huh same old thing

So now you're seventeen
Running around hanging out, and a havin' your fun
Life for you has just begun, baby

And then you come saying
So you, you say you wanna get married
Oh baby trying to put me on a chain
Aint that some shame
You must be losing your, sweet little mind
I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready
I'm gonna change your mind

Oooh look out baby
Oh
I ain't ready
I ain't ready
I ain't ready

Let me live
Let me live
Let me live a little longer

Etc.


16. THE WIND CRIES MARY

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries Mary


The traffic lights they turn up blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream?
Cause the life that lived is, is dead
And the wind screams Mary

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with his crutch, it's old age, and it's wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary


17. HIGHWAY CHILE

Yeah, his guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind
Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin
He left home when he was seventeen
The rest of the world he had longed to see
But everybody knows the boss
A rolling stone who gathers no moss

But you'd probably call him a tramp
But it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile, yeah

Now some people say he had a girl back home
Who messed around and did him pretty wrong
They tell me it kinda hurt him bad
Kinda made him feel pretty sad
I couldn't say what went through his mind
Anyway, he left the world behind
But everybody knows the same old story,
In love and war you can't lose in glory

Now you'd probably call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile

Walk on brother, yeah
One more brother

His old guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind
Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

Now you may call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile

Walk on brother
Don't let no one stop you
Highway chile
Yeah yeah yeah
Highway chile
Go on down the highway
Highway chile
Yeah yeah yeah
Highway chile
