I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.

To Make Somebody Happy
By eric clapton
Feel like someones put the hurt on me,
And its making me feel sad.
Feel like someones trying to turn me away
From the good times to the bad.
Feel like someones trying to teach me
What is wrong from what is right.
And I cant belong to everyone;
Let me stay with you tonight.
And I hope it makes somebody happy.
Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy.
This rivers hard enough for me to swim,
But theres nowhere left to hide.
I aint no swimmer but I wont give in
Till I reach the other side.
Chorus
cause its all to make somebody happy.
It takes us all to make somebody happy.

Ode To Eric Clapton
Hear Eric Clapton's got the blues
did he pay his dues
have you heard the news
hear Eric Clapton's got the blues.
Nicknamed old slow hand in band
Eric is the master blues guitar hand
always with his back against the wall
yet Eric Clapton stands noble and tall.
Started out over thirty years ago
his guitar style developed blues flow
an second only too late Jimi Hendrix
Eric played with heavy cream mix.
Through the high times and the bad
sometimes feeling crazy and mad
battling wild destructive stardom scene
taking trips both right and wrong dream.
Road to excess leads to wisdom song
although the road is often long
I'm quoting Eric's favourite line
these words that spring to mine.
Having self confessed addictive personality
is Eric's dark blues self analysis key
but today Eric lets his guitar talk
all the way from London to New York.
Doing the prince charity time trust
each and every year is indeed a must
playing regularly London's Albert Hall
Eric stands tall and isn't about to fall.
Admired by every guitar slinger around
Eric's guitar creates the blues sound
with master blues ace calling card
Eric Clapton plays honest and hard.
And the blues is always played real
let's you have honest emotion to feel
singing about love affairs of the heart
blows all our false pretense apart.
Nineties Eric wears his blues mantle proud
playing his guitar notes inspired and loud
with both subtle and heavy born emotion
laying down blues flavour stylish devotion.
Yes Eric Clapton's got the blues
did you pay your dues
whose gonna break the news
yes Eric Clapton's got the blues.

What Can Make You Happy?
Are you happy right now or sad?
Are you bitter about your present condition?
You wonder what is wrong with your life
You wonder why others are happy
And question why some are so sad
Are happy people born that way?
Or happiness is a state of mind
What can make you happy?
Will having more money make you happy?
How much money do you need to make you happy?
If you are single and not happy!
Will having a new lover make you happy?
Will getting married make you happy?
If you are married, and not happy!
Will having more children make you happy?
Will sleeping with other people make you happy?
If you are a professional and not happy!
Will changing your profession make you happy?
What can make you happy?
Will getting drunk everyday make you happy?
Will taking a new drug make you happy?
Will buying a new car make you happy?
What can make you happy?
Will moving to a bigger house make you happy?
Will been promoted at work make you happy?
Will been the head of your organization
Make you happy
What can make you happy?
Always remember that what makes
You happy can make the others sad

Golden Ring
By eric clapton
He gave to you a golden ring;
It made you happy, it made you sing.
And I played for you on my guitar;
It didnt last long, we didnt go far.
And though the times have changed,
Were rearranged.
Will the ties that bind remain the same?
You came around after a while;
Everyone said that I made you smile.
It all went well, and suddenly then
You heard that he would marry again.
Chorus
Well I know that I have been here before;
Ive trod on your wings, Ive opened the door.
If I gave to you a golden ring
Would I make you happy, would I make you sing?

I just managed to convince my grandmother that it was a worth while that was something to do, you know, and when I did finally get the guitar, it didn't seem that difficult to me, to be able to make a good noise out of it.

Miss You
By eric clapton, greg phillinganes and bobby columby
Dont change your mind,
I aint got the time to sit and wonder.
Im doing fine.
If you decide to leave, I wont go under.
You know Ive come this far without you;
It wont be too hard to be alone.
Ive got choices all around me,
So I wont be spending too much time at home.
Girl, Im gonna miss you.
Im gonna miss you, baby.
I cant forgive you,
Instead Im gonna miss you, baby.
No, dont say a word.
I already heard that you dont love me.
In your state of mind,
I dont need to hear your side of the story.
Your friends all said we had a future
And I dont think I really want to know.
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad theyll be when you decide to go.
Chorus
I broke my back to make you happy.
Sometime, somehow, someones got to care.
If you think youre better off without me,
Just remember, its a dirty world out there.
Chorus
Im gonna miss the ground you walk on,
Gonna miss the air you breathe.
Im just not quite happy, baby,
bout your crazy plans to leave.

High
By eric clapton
High upon a mountain top
Where the eagle builds his nest
I shall go wandering,
Trying to put my mind at rest,
And I shall never cease
Until the day I die.
He was once a friend of mine,
But I did not know or care
Until she said goodbye.
I cried till I could hardly see
The meaning of my life.
What do I do now?

When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb.
I've got the god given talent or the god given opportunity better put, to let that out in a harmless way you know, and I don't know what it does to you, I don't really know.

Double Crossing Time
By john mayall and eric clapton
Its a mean old scene when it comes to double crossing time.
Its a mean old scene when it comes to double crossing time.
When you think you got good buddies, they will spin around and cheat you blind.
Double crossing man is mean, he will try to make it so you lose.
Double crossing man, he will try to make it so you lose.
Youll fill your mind with worry, you know he hurt me with the blues.

I'd put on Eric Clapton's blues
I’d put on Eric Clapton’s blues
While you’d kiss my back
Sing, guitar, sing!
And we’d lie on the sofa and handle each other
My brittle frame confining your
Heavy composition
You craved me, I know
Yet you were just a thrill to me
Yeah, you knew you were my thrill
Credulous like a lamb, in your lap I was
Dazzled by the explosions filling those velvet eyes
‘Cause they reached into me and shook my bones;
My bones need shaking
My marrow was breaking
Vacillating
I melted right there with you ‘cause
I’d be freezing and your heat
Would surround me
Until the sun’s warmth wet our bodies
And I’d contemplate you and, puzzled, wonder,
‘Cause you’d kiss my back and I’d put on Eric Clapton’s blues
Sing guitar sing!
I felt you alright,
Just like I felt the blues.
(July 2010)

Flute Lads!
I flute the up and down of sun,
I flute the pallid moon,
I flute the rivers deep and wide
And down the merry tide.
I leave the rose so red
And pluck the lily white;
I flute upon my bed
And play into the night.
If I could flute forever
And play a merry tune,
Then I would know no sorrow
In April, May, and June.
So up and down the golden sun
And up the pallid moon,
Flute my lovely lads, flute,
In April, May, and June.

Shes Gone
By eric clapton and simon climie
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day,
She can make me feel all right and make it all okay.
She can make me feel so good by looking in my eye.
She can take me to the edge, take me to the sky.
Shes gone, shes gone, shes gone.
Im telling you shes gone.
She put her hands in my hair, put her kiss on my face.
She puts my heart in my mouth, my soul in its place.
Who could love me like she do? who could even start to try?
She can love me more than you; I never wonder why.
Chorus
Chorus
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple on a stream,
I see her float across my mind like a picture in a dream.
And the more that I know, seems the more that I care.
Give the world and all I own just to know that shes still there.
Like a shadow in the dark, like a ripple in a stream,
But youre floating on my mind.

Only The Loot Can Make You Happy
Uh rockland in my life
Uh huh track masters youre all I need in my life make money
Uh duece duece youre all I need in my life
Uh huh yo yo yo yo
I remember in the days
Yall niggas talkin all that s about keepin it real
But when it comes to this game imma play the field
Rockland had loot before we signed the deal
Haters get in the way and catch the sky like seal
We used to use the streets for the football field
In church free lunch was our only meal
But now we push whips with lorenzo wheels
Living it up in beverly hills
You know 9 to 5 was only temporary
Now the ladies wanna find tone in a hurry
Got em hittin notes that mariah couldnt carry
All you player haters going down like mary
Cop the rolls royce a player with a choice
Ladies stay moist from the sound of my voice
The lady killers pass the keys to our villas
Rockland track masters top billers
Only the loot can make me happy nuttin but the loot baby
Happy show me the loot baby
Happy show me the loot
Only the loot can make me happy nuttin but the loot baby
Happy show me the loot baby
So happy show me the loot
I never thought that i
Could make someone like you
I felt energized
When you went through my groove
Ill never let you go no
Youre so right for me
Ive got to let you know
Forever you and me the ballas anthem right here
Only the loot can make me happy show me the loot baby
Happy nuttin but the loot baby
Happy show me the loot baby
Only the loot can make me happy nuttin but the loot baby
Happy show me the loot baby
So happy show me the loot
You must be heaven sent
