Miss Rosie

when I watch you
wrapped up like garbage
sitting, surrounded by the smell
of too old potato peels
or
when I watch you
in your old man's shoes
with the little toe cut out
sitting, waiting for your mind
like next week's grocery
I say
when I watch you
you wet brown bag of a woman
who used to be the best looking gal in Georgia
used to be called the Georgia Rose
I stand up
through your destruction
I stand up

Sweet Georgia Brown

Sweet georgia brown
(kenneth casey - maceo pinkard)
No gal made has got a shade on sweet georgia brown
Two left feet but oh so neat, has sweet georgia brown
They all sigh and wanna die for sweet georgia brown
Ill tell you why, you know I dont lie... much
Its been said she knocks em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why its a shame how she coos em down
Fellers she cant get are fellers she aint met
Georgia claimed her, georgia named her
Sweet georgia brown

Sweet Georgia Brown

NO GAL MADE HAS GOT A SHADE
ON SWEET GEORGIA BROWN,
TWO LEFT FEET, OH, SO NEAT,
HAS SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
THEY ALL SIGH, AND WANT TO DIE,
FOR SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
I'LL TELL YOU JUST WHY,
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIE, NOT MUCH:
IT'S BEEN SAID SHE KNOCKS 'EM DEAD,
WHEN SHE LANDS IN TOWN!
SINCE SHE CAME, WHY IT'S A SHAME,
HOW SHE COOLS THEM DOWN!
FELLAS SHE CAN'T GET
MUST BE FELLAS SHE AIN'T MET!
GEORGIA CLAIMED HER, GEORGIA NAMED HER,
SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
NO GAL MADE HAS GOT A SHADE
ON SWEET GEORGIA BROWN,
TWO LEFT FEET, OH, SO NEAT,
HAS SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
THEY ALL SIGH, AND WANT TO DIE,
FOR SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!
I'LL TELL YOU JUST WHY,
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIE; NOT MUCH:
ALL THOSE GIFTS THOSE COURTERS GIVE,
TO SWEET GEORGIA BROWN,
THEY BUY CLOTHES AT FASHION SHOWS,
WITH ONE DOLLAR DOWN,
OH, BOY! TIP YOUR HAT!
OH, JOY! SHE'S THE CAT!
WHO'S THAT, MISTER? 'TAIN'T A SISTER!
SWEET GEORGIA BROWN!

Georgia On My Mind

Stuard gorrell / hoagy carmichael
Georgia
Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps georgia on my mind
Georgia
Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clean as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach ot to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the roads leads back to you
Georgia
Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps georgia on my mind

Sweet Georgia Brown

Well let me tell you well no chick made
Could be the same
As sweet georgia brown.
Crazy feet that dance so neat
Has sweet georgia brown.
Fella's sigh, and even cry
For sweet georgia brown.
I tell you just why
You know i don't lie.
It's been said
She knocks them dead
In any old town.
Since she came right
It's a shame
How she brings them down.
In liverpool she even dare
To critize the beatles' hair.
With their whole fanclub
Standing there
I mean sweet georgia brown.
I say this group is absolutely marvellous with the piano, don't you
Think so. not too commercial, boys, not too commercial!
When it comes to music
Sweet georgia is known to mind,
Don't buy clothes at fashion shows
But she still looks fine
Snap chicks cry,
They want to die
When georgie does the twist
I never would try
To tell you just why.
Use your imagination
Theres a dj crazy for her
Living in out home town
Since she came it's a shame
She turns him down
Records that she can get
Are records, they ain't sent him yet
Carolina may have dina,
But that don't have georgia brown.
Oh that sweet georgia,
Yeah yeah yeah i mean brown, oh oh oh.
Sweet georgia brown.

Sweet Georgia Brown

Verse:
She just got here yesterday,
Things are hot here, now, they say.
There's a big change in town,
Some great big changes.
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt,
Still the fellows rave about
Sweet Georgia Brown;
And ever since she came,
The local folks all claim: Say!
Chorus:
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown-
Two left feet, but oh! so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown;
They all sigh and wanna' die for Sweet Georgia Brown-
I'll tell you just why,
You know I don't lie (not much)
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
Since she came why, it's a shame how she cools 'em down.
Well, fellers she can't get
Are fellers she ain't met,
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet Georgia Brown.

My Stand

Don't tell me i cant, i wont.
Oh no no you don't.
I am my own man.
Watch as i take stand.
Their no black or white
when it comes to whats wrong.
Theirs only grey.
What else can i say.

Don't tell me i cant, i wont.
Oh no no you don't.
I am my own man.
Watch as i take a stand.
Am over reaching just maybe.
But what gives you the right to preach to me.
Just step off, back up.
Enough is enough.

Don't tell me i cant, i wont.
Oh no no you don't.
I am my own man.
Watch as i take a stand.
The blind shall never follow the weak.
Even if i don't know everything,
don't mistake this ignorance for stupidity.
I'm just not that dumb.
Your fun is at the expense of others.
Another, another, oh brother.

Don't tell me i cant, i wont.
Oh no no you don't.
I am my own man.
Watch as i take a stand.
Against all odds.
Against someone who thinks their god.
I say come on, bring it in any flavor.
it still wont save you.
The strings are gone forever gone.

Don't tell me i cant, i wont.
Oh no no you don't.
I am my own man.
Watch as i take my stand.

Watch Out

Written by peter green.
Watch out for me, woman
And dont mind nobody else
Watch out for me, woman
And dont mind nobody else
Aint got no crystal ball
But the future aint hard to tell
Break:
I love the woman
I just cant stand to leave her be
I love the woman
I just cant stand to leave her be
Now we got to get married
An might even raise a whole family
Watch out for me, woman, an
And dont mind nobody else
Watch out for me, woman
And dont mind nobody else
Aint got no crystal ball
But the future - aint hard to tell

Perfect Ending To The Day

I leave the pinewoods sombre shade
And make my way towards the shore.
Where I can watch the daylight fade.
As I have often done before.

I work all day amidst the trees
Where I can seldom see the sky.
I yearn to smell the ocean breeze
and watch the seagulls wheel and fly.

There is a spot that's known to few.
Above the sea and facing west.
Which offers an unbroken view
to watch the Sun go to his rest.

It is a privilege to see.
The western sky blush fiery red
As the Sun sinks beneath the sea.
There's nowhere I would be instead.

Than sitting high above the sea
To watch the sun set peacefully.

Georgia On My Mind

Georgia......georgia..........the whole day through
Just an old sweet song.....keeps georgia on my mind
I said now, georgia.....georgia......a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear.....as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me.......other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see.......the road leads back to you
I said, georgia........ georgia......... no peace I find
Just an old sweet song........keeps georgia on my mind
(instrumental break)
Other arms reach out to me........other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see......the road leads back to you
Now ya know its, georgia....georgia...no peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song......keeps georgia on my mind
Just this old sweet song.......keeps georgia on my mind

The Assasin

Now the contracts out
Theyve out the word about
Im coming after you
Its not the money I make
Its the thrill of the chase
And Im coming after you
I watch you every move
Study the things you do
And the pattern of your ways
I watch you walk you walk
I hear your telephone talk
I want to understand the way you think
Better watch out cos Im the assassin
Better watch out better watch out
Better watch out cos Im the assassin
Better watch out better watch out
Im in a cold sweat
I taste the smell of death
I know the moments getting closer
And as you walk to the light
I feel my hands go tight
Excitement running through my veins
Ive got you in my sights
Ive got you dead to rights
The triggers waiting for my fingers
I feel adrenalin rush
Its just the final touch
You can kiss your arse goodbye

I Watch As You Become A Woman

I watch as you become a woman
Shedding your girlish skin before me
I stand by the bar, ordering our drinks
And melt, as you're easier now
Confident and comfortable with everyone
Such growth since those teenage years

Carrying yourself as a woman does
You pick me up from the office
Still in your laboratory scrubs
So articulate and composed
As I slump my twisting wiry body
Down hard in the passenger seat
Still ill-at-ease with what I'm doing

I watch as you become a woman
On those Saturdays from hell
When I writhe in a bed of hate
And you perch lovingly beside me
Saying 'don't do this anymore,
There is more to life than drink'

You're beautiful, you're a woman
There are things that I don't doubt
One day when you've graduated from me
You'll shine like your potential must
Be an amazing loving wife and mother
And reach every height you’re destined for

I watch as you become a woman
But I wonder how long we've got
Before you realise I'm still a boy
I watch as you become a woman
Now I just have to become a man...

Her

Baby, Ive been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, mmmm
But I cant imagine what you must be thinkin
Cuz she could never be what I can be
Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And theres so much your eyes dont even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me lookin at me
But how could you be with her?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I wont stand by and watch you pretend
So baby how could you?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
We parted so that we could make it better
Cuz boy, you said we needed time and space, mmm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced
Now youre living all our dreams with another
And youre giving everything you promised me
Youre pretending were together when were nothing
But shes not me, she cant be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby
Her
You dont really love her, no, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
So how could you play me?
Her
Cuz dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought Id be without you, without you
You didnt have to run away to find me again
Cuz Ive always been here I am the real thing
So dont you pretend, oh
Her
You dont really love her
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
Oh
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz you really love and and i
I
I cant stand by and let you pretend
We could start again
Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me
I
I want your love, I need your love

Because Of You

Hands on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
And watch as it all fades away
From what you do
Because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that i see in your eye
I won't stand around and i won't watch you die
From what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
What to do
What to do
What becomes of
Now that you did this
You ask for forgiveness,
Doctor could you be my priest
You say you're mistaken
But look what you've taken
You laugh as you lie through your teeth
From what you do
Because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you called
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that i see in your eye
I won't stand around and i won't watch you die
From what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
What to do
What to do
What becomes of
From what you do
Hands on the mirror
Can't get much clearer
Can't make this all go away
Now that you're bleeding
You stare at the ceiling
Watch as it all fades away
From what you do
Because of you
You know I can't be there
Each time that you call
I swore not to come
But I'm here after all
I know by the look that I see in your eye
I won't stand around and I won't watch you die
From what you do
What you do
What you do
What becomes of you
Do, what you do
What you do
What becomes of
Because of you
Because of

Watch Out

You move like a flame of fire
Your eyes like a flash of lightning
The answer to all desire
And Im gonna tame you, wild thing
Youd better watch out
I said youd better watch out
Watch out
Anywhere you go Ill find you
Watch out
Ill be staying close behind you
And Ive tired of waiting (oooh-a-la-la)
Yes its driving me crazy (oooh-a-la-la-la)
And my patience is fading (oooh-a-la-la)
Oh, youd better watch out
I said youd better watch out
Its been kind of funny lately
You act like I was a stranger
I think youre beginning to hate me
But then youre a girl in danger
Youd better watch out
Ooh, I said youd better watch out
Watch out
Anywhere you go Ill find you
Watch out
Ill be staying close behind you
And Ive tired of waiting (oooh-a-la-la)
Yes its driving me crazy (oooh-a-la-la-la)
And my patience is fading (oooh-a-la-la)
So youd better watch out
Yes I said youd better watch out
Watch out
Watch out
And Ive tired of waiting (oooh-a-la-la)
Yes its driving me crazy (oooh-a-la-la-la)
And my patience is fading (oooh-a-la-la)
I said youd better watch out
Oh girl youd better watch out
Ah, youd better watch out
Ooh, ah, youd better watch out

Athens Grease

If you're headin' south on
Georgia one twenty-nine
Straight into Athens past the Clark County line
There's an old Texaco right across
From the Athens Woolworth
Billy Joe Taylor's underneath that lift
There ain't a car on the planet that he can't fix
He swears on his chrome-plated ratchet
That his heaven on earth
Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Six days a week, he's a man on a mission
He's the redneck Picasso of
The manual transmission
And the only man in town who can make
Charlie Vincent's van go
When the sun goes down
And the day is endin'
Billy's still rockin' with a rack and pinion
Long as that boy's at work, well he's right at home
Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Well, he's a rotatin,' lug nuttin,'
Spark pluggin' good ole boy
With his name on his shirt
And Thelma Lou Taylor likes to hang out at the station
'Cause she loves to watch him work
Well, he can make a rusty muffler purr like a kitten
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at one-fifty
Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Yeah, Georgia's never seen a man more at peace
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's grease
Athen's grease, baby

Maneater

Music: hall/oates
Lyrics: hall/oates/s. allen
Shell only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, Ive seen her here before
Watching and waiting
Shes sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see
What you think youre getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar
Moneys the matter
If youre in it for love you aint gonna get too far
Oh here she comes
Watch out boy shell chew you up
Oh here she comes
Shes a maneater
Oh here she comes
Watch out boy shell chew you up
Oh here she comes
Shes a maneater
I wouldnt if I were you
I know what she can do
Shes deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
Oh here she comes
Watch out boy shell chew you up
Oh here she comes
Shes a maneater

I Stand And Watch To Wait...To Rest!

I stand and watch to wait.
I've been told to have patience.
But...
Hesitating in anticipation,
Has never satisfied my curiosity.
And it seems such a waste,
To rely on someone else's opinion...
When this experience of life is mine.
So I am convinced...
If I should wait for another second,
Another minute to pass...
My venture will be delayed!
And 'why' should I let it?

I stand and watch to wait.
I've been told to have patience.
But...
I am no doctor!
And at the price I've paid already...
I am no longer willing,
To trust my fate...
In the faith kept in someone else's statement.
I've given that kind of time before.
No more!

I stand and watch to wait...
To rest!
And catch my breath I do,
Before I move.

Pine Tree

I'm a pine tree in a ceramic pot,
Sitting on a ledge beside a window.
The other trees outside have grown a lot,
But my maturation has been so slow.
I watch each season pass in front of me.
I watch the world wear down in bad weather.
I watch each tree become green and healthy
In front-yard forests—tall and together.
I see the leaves go brown, flake and crumble.
I see the barren branches of winter.
I see nature force them to be humble
When lightning crashes them into splinters.
I'm fine looking from here, my window sill.
In watching, I experience life still.

Oh Atlanta

Same old place, same Old City, What can I do, I'm falling in love,
I'm just an old hound dog, Roaming around, oh lord,
I got all this and heaven above, Oh, Atlanta, hear me calling,
I'm coming back to you one fine day, No need to worry, there ain't no hurry, 'Cause I'm, on my way back to Georgia, On my way
back to Georgia.
I get a feeling when I remember, All the crazy days and
crazy nights, Country music playing, You must have heard
them saying, They're going to whip it up, And light up the lights
Oh, Atlanta, hear me calling, I'm coming back to you one fine day
No need to worry, there ain't no hurry, 'Cause I'm, on my way back to Georgia, On my way back to Georgia.
Same old place, it's the same old city, What can I do,
I'm falling in love, I'm just an old hound dog, Roaming around,

Oh, Atlanta, hear me calling,
I'm coming back to you one
fine day,
No need to worry, there ain't no hurry,
'Cause I'm, well, Atlanta hear me calling,
I'm coming back to you one fine
day,
No need to worry, no need to hurry, 'Cause I'm, on my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way back to Georgia,
On my way, on my way,
n my way back to Georgia,
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
Georgia on my mind,
On my way back to Georgia
Yes I'm on my way, yeah.

Watch Out

Watch your eyes
it may see reactions

Watch your reaction
it may enthuse emotions

Watch your emotion
it may compose thoughts

Watch your thought
it may become words

Watch your word
it may become a habit

Watch your habit
it may become character

Watch your character
it may become your identity

Finally, watch your identity
it may become your fate
