1. COULD YOU BE LOVED

Could you be loved and be loved, could you be loved and be loved
Don't let them fool you, or even try to school you, oh! no
We've got a mind of our own, so go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
Love would never leave us alone
I say the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved, could you be loved and be loved

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

Don't let them change you, or even rearrange you, oh! no
We've got a life to live, they say only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive

Could you be loved and be loved, could you be loved and be loved

You ain't gonna miss your water, until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

Say something, say something, say something
Say something, say something, say something

Could you be, could you be, could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved


2. BODHISATTVA

Bodhisattva
Would you take me by the hand

Bodhisattva
Would you take me by the hand
Can you show me
The shine of your Japan
The sparkle of your china
Can you show me
Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva
I'm gonna sell my house in town

Bodhisattva
I'm gonna sell my house in town

And I'll be there
To shine in your Japan
To sparkle in your China
Yes I'll be there

Bodhisattva


3. WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS

I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.


4. I CAN'T GET NEXT TO YOU

I can turn your gray sky blue
I could make it rain whenever I wanted to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail on dry land
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue
'Cause I can't get next to you
Next to you, I just can't get next to you

I can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I could live forever if I so desired
Unimportant are all these things I can do
'Cause I can't get next to you
No matter what I do

I can turn back the hands of time
You'd better believe I can
I can make the seasons change
Just by a wave of my hand
I can change anything from old to new
The thing I want to do the most I'm unable to do
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
'Cause girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I, wo, I can't get next to you

Girl, you're blowin' my mind 'cause I can't get (next to you)
Can't you see these tears I'm cryin'? I can't get (next to you)
Girl, it's you that I need; I gotta get (next to you)


5. LIVING FOR THE CITY

A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over

Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh

7. BURN DOWN THE MISSION

You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know

Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky

Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside

Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls

Bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep


8. SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE

It's getting near dawn.
The lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you, my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you, darling, soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

I'm with you, my love.
The light shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you, my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you, darling, now,
I'll stay with you till my seeds are dried up.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

It's getting near dawn.
The lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you, my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you, darling, soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long...


9. WATCHING THE DETECTIVES

Nice girls not one with a defect, cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct.
Red dogs under illegal legs, she looks so good that he gets down and begs.

She is watching the detectives, "ooh, he's so cute!"
She is watching the detectives, when they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
They beat him up until the teardrops start,
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.

Long shot of that jumping sign, visible shivers running down my spine.
Cut the baby taking off her clothes.
Close-up of the sign that says,"We never close"
You snatch a tune, you a match a cigarette,
She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet.
I don't know how much more of this I can take.
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.

She is watching the detectives...

You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.
Now fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit.
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit.
Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?
The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay,
It only took my little fingers to blow you away.

Just like watching the detectives, don't get cute!"
It's just like watching the detectives.
I get so angry when the teardrops start,
But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.
Just like watching the detectives...


10. HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one


11. IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH, IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night, baby,
Leanin' on the window sill.
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

Now the wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost.

Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost.
