Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues
Bob dylan
When youre lost in the rain in juarez
And its easter time too
And your gravity fails
And negativity dont pull you through
Dont put on any airs
When youre down on rue morgue avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess out of you
Now if you see saint annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
My fingers are all in a knot
I dont have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend my doctor
Wont even say what it is I have got
Sweet melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good english
And she invites you up into her room
And youre so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon
Up on housing project hill
Its either fortune or fame
You must pick one or the other
Though neither of them
Are to be what they claim
If youre looking to get silly
You better go back from where you came
Because the cops dont need you
And man they expect the same
Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
Hew they blackmailed the sergeant at arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking like a ghost
I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said theyd stand behind me
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to bluff
Im going back to new york city
I do believe Ive had enough

Tom Thumb Blues
When your lost in the rain in juarez and its easter time too
When your gravity is down and negativity wont pull you through
Dont you put on any airs when you down on rue morgue avenue.
They got some hungry creatures there theyll surely make a mess out of you
If you see st. annie, please tell her thanks alot
My thoughts they are twisted, my tentacles are all in a knot
I dont even have the strength to get up and take another shot.
Now my best friend, my drummer, wont even tell what it was that I dropped
Now sweet melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom.
She speaks good english as she invites you up into her room.
And you, you were so damn conscientious, you couldnt go to her too soon
Still she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon.
Up on housing project hill, its either fortune or fame
You must choose one or the other though neither are to be what they claim
If youre looking to get silly, you better get back from where you came
You know the cops dont need you and we all expect the same.
Now all the authorities, they just lay around and boast
About how they blackmailed the president into leaving his post.
And picking up angel,
Who arrived up here from the coast,
Who looked so fine at first, but left looking like a ghost.
Now I started out heinakin, still hit the harder stuff
Everybody swore they stand behind me when the game got rough
But the joke was on me, there was nobody even there to call my bluff
Im goin back to san enselmo, I do believe I had enough.

Sweet melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of doom,
She speaks good english and she invites you up into her room.
And you're so kind, too careful not to go to her too soon,
Then she steals your voice and leaves you howling at the moon!
Up on housing project hill it's either fortune or fame,
You must pick one or the other though neither of them is what they claim,
If you're lookin' to get silly you'd better go back to from where you came,
Because the cops don't need you and man they expect the same!
I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff,
Everybody said they'd stand behind me when the game got rough,

Dont Rescue Me
Dont rescue me
I dont want to be
Let you and me be
Out of control
Just because I cant sleep at night
Just because I hear your voice
Just because I see your face
Just because I want you
You youre the one
Turn me inside out
You youre the one
Make me scream and shout
You youre the one
Derailroaded me
You youre the one
Dont rescue me
You make me move
Where I never been
Lost in orbit
All over you
Dont bring me back
I beg to differ in fact
You can question why
But what good is that
Dont rescue me
I wont go back no i...

Down n Dirty
Slow talkin, the line youre walkin
Look like a viper wearin silkin stockings
You make em guess theyd be gettin the best
Cant help but wonder if youd pass the test
Kissin my fingers, you touch my face
n play your hand like youre holdin the ace
But baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus:
(down n dirty)
Oh my little rosalee, dont you think its goin on time we see
If youre gonna come with me, I bet you, I get you
Ive had enough of this comin on stuff
I feel like gettin down on somethin tough
I do believe youre what youre tryin to be
Now show me, honey, cause Im dying to see
Take it baby, make your play, well make love in different ways
I call your bluff and stand, pretty mama, hold me in your hand
And make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Kissin my fingers, you touch my face
n play your hand like youre holdin the ace
Baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus
Rosalee, dont you think its goin on time we see
If youre gonna come with me, Im dirty, down n dirty

You Dont Have To Say Youre Sorry
You dont have to say youre sorry
We all make mistakes, Ive made my share, oh
You dont have to say youre sorry
I dont need those words to know you care
Explanations arent required even though you think you should
I dont need to know the reasons, no, not even if theyre good
You dont have to say youre sorry, but I sure do wish you would
You dont have to say youre sorry
And thats a silly game that children play, oh
You dont have to say youre sorry, no
No, you shouldnt have to live that way
You dont have to say youre sorry
Cause were both too old its true
Well they say when you love someone, forgiveness is the rule
You dont have to say youre sorry, but I sure do wish you would
Explanations arent required, even though you think you should
I dont need to know your reasons
No, not even if theyre good
You dont have to say youre sorry
But I sure do wish you would, I wish you would

If Youre Not Gonna Love Me Right
(m.seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And Im running late
Ive no time to get it
coz Im expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
Im surprised you called
Said youre all tied up
And you aint comin at all
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, oh
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
At all
Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Wheres this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I dont know anymore I swear
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Baby dont make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, yeah
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
I really want you, oh baby
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna love me right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby just make me crazy
Baby, I want you here
If youre not here it makes me feel like
I cant trust you
You make me crazy if you really love me
You see
Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just cant hold on to something that wont last
So wed better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
(if youre not gonna love me right)
If youre not gonna love me
Baby dont love me, baby dont love me, baby dont love me
If youre not gonna love me right
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby, dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
Baby dont love, baby dont love me
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)
If youre not gonna do it right

Dont Pick It Up
I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo
Dont pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Dont pick it up I say
Youre gonna be bummed that you went that way
Youre out there makin bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got vd
You know you never think
And youre sore today
Youre gonna take it back to california
Dont pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Dont pick it up I say
Youre gonna be bummed that you went that way
My friend was kinda hurtin
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like pat
On saturday night live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Dont pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Dont pick it up I say
Youre gonna be bummed that you went that way

Oh, no, not you again
Please dont tell me
Youre here to stay
See I dont want to hear
Go away, go away

Yeah I like my style, ya know, and I like to dream
I like color of the rainbow, they like to please me
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Ive told you before and Ill tell you again, and again, and again
Cant you get it thru your head
Youre not my friend
And Ive tried to be nice but now Im not going to lie
So I suggest you leave before I make you cry, bye
I like to be sulky
I like being vile
I like to make you angry, I like it all the while
I like to know that youre hated, it makes me smile
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
Why, why, why, why me?

So I must find everyone including me too

Stop Where You Are
(words & music by grant - baum - kaye)
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Dont come any closer now baby
Youll be in a pinch
Dont start what you cant finish
I warn you whats in store
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Youd better freeze
Dont pull the fire now baby
Dont be a tease
Dont start what you cant finish
I told you once before
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Dont you know, youre walking on dangerous ground
Listen babe when I make love
I just dont fool around, no I dont
I just dont play around
Stop where you are
Just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you baby
I wont let you go
Dont start what you cant finish
One kiss and I want more
If its love youre looking to get
Youre gonna get what youre looking for
Stop where you are
Dont move an inch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna be in a pinch
Stop where you are
Youre gonna get what youre looking for

Dead Or Alive
Dont turn off the light
You might draw the queen of spades
Dont shut the door
You dont need to be alone
I wont bring you no food
There might be some poison in your meat
Ive got to know are you dead or alive
Dont shut the door are you dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window youre leaving
Dont look in the mirror
With a dollar up your face
Youve got money to burn
Youre cheap at half the price
Oh dont powder your nose
Dont blow your brains just for the the
Crack
Ive got to know are you dead or alive
Just for the crack are you dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window youre leaving
Youre running so fast
But you know youre standing still
Im afraid of your shadow
And the knife in its hand
Youre dancing with death
To the tune of the dealer
And he dont care
Dont give a toss
Dont want to know if youre dead or alive
Dont want to know if youre dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window youre leaving

I stand alone in my room, too blue to even cry
So doggone tired of livin, I could lay right down and die
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well you promised me your love, a love that would be true
You didnt keep your promise and I dont care what I do
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well I file my fingernails, staring at the wall
Dont wanna see my friends or anyone that comes to call
Youre the cause of it all
Well, youre my down fall
Dont blame me for what I do
Baby, youre the cause of it all
Well the low down dirty blues are closing in on me
My soul is wetted down with so much misery
Youre the cause of it all
Youre my down fall

Loose Fit
Has to be a loose fit
Has to be a loose fit
Go on move in it, go on do your bit
Small, big take your pick
Doesnt have to be legit
It s gotta be a loose fit
It s gotta be a loose fit
Dont need no skin tights in my wardrobe today
Fold them all up and put them all away
Wont be no misfit in my household today
Pick them all out and send them on their way
Do what youre doing, say what youre saying
Go where youre going, think what youre thinking
Sounds good to me
Dont know what you saw, but you know its against the law
And you know that you want some more
Ive heard it all before
Gonna buy an airforce base
Gonna wipe out your race
Get stoned in a different place
Dont you know I got better taste
Do what youre doing, say what youre saying
Go where youre going, think what youre thinking
It sound good to me
Do what youre doing, spend what youre owing
Pay what youre paying, look where youre going
Say what youre thinking, kill who youre killing
Sing if youre singing, speak if youre speaking

Saved it up for a rainy day

But they dont catch me, Ill spend it on you

Got me a guitar, got a six strings
And a picker to make em ring

Dont Ever Change
You never wear a suit of lace,
The powders not on your face.
Youre always wearing jeans
Except on sunday.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
I kind of like you
Just the way you are.
You dont know the latest dance,
But when its time to make romance
Your kisses let me know
Youre not a tomboy.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
Promise youre always gonna be
As sweet as you are.
I love you when youre happy,
I love you when youre blue.
I love you when youre mad at me,
So how can I get tired of you?
A lots of other girls Ive seen,
They know how to treat guys mean.
But you would rather die
Than ever hurt me.
So please dont ever change,
No dont you ever change.
Just promise youre always gonna be
As sweet as you are.
Please dont ever change,
Dont you ever change.
Please dont ever change,
Dont you ever change.

If Youre Not The One
If youre not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If youre not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
Well make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I dont need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I dont need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If youre not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If youre not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I dont know why youre so far away
But I know that this much is true
Well make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in youre the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
cause I love you, whether its wrong or right
And though I cant be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I dont want to run away but I cant take it, I dont understand
If Im not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am

Dont Go Away
One step hesitation
One step into the night
Dont mind the weather
Its raining in my heart tonight
Much more to living
Two wrongs dont make a right
Youre gonna regret it
When youre looking back
On your life
Dont go away
Make the most of this love Im giving
Dont go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be, hmm
But dont go away
Some dream of fortune
Others dream of fame
Seconds after leaving
Lifell never be the same
Fell for temptation
It didnt mean a thing
Well last forever
If you turn around
Once again
Dont go away
Make the most of this love Im giving
Dont go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be, hmm
But dont go away
Do you wanna be more than a picture hanging on the wall
Something to remind me of how it all went wrong
Do you wanna be more than a number forgotten in a book
Youre holding something special, so take another look
Youre gonna regret it
When youre looking back
On your life
Dont go away
Make the most of this love Im giving
Dont go away
Better take another look at my face
You can be what you wanna be, hmm
But dont go away
Take a look
Take another look on your way
Take a look
Take another look on your way
Please dont go...

If you wanna leave

Dont worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door
Yeah see if I care

Just walk away
Its tearing me apart that youre leaving
Im letting you go
But I wont let you know
I wont miss your arms around me
Holding me tight
If you ever think about me
Just know that Ill be alright
Im gonna be strong
Im gonna do fine
Dont worry about this heart of mine
I know Ill survive
Sure Ill make it through
And Ill even learn to live without you
Dont turn around
Cause youre gonna see my heart breaking
Dont turn around
I dont want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
Its tearing me apart that youre leaving
Im letting you go
But I wont let you know

Complicated
Youre never going to see what you like
Youre never going to wake up and change your mind
Youre never going to keep what you hold
You wont accomplish anything on your own
You cant have what you wanted
So make up your mind and come to your senses
Youll never win if you dont bend
Its not so complicated
If you decide to change your mind
Youll find your inundated
Youre never going to do what you say
Youll always try to make up another way
Youre never going to act on your own
Youre never going to see that youre all alone
And so youre here and you dont know
If you can choose the way to go
Its not about the way it is
So dont become a realist
Youve got time to make a choice
Dont think aloud but have a voice
And when you think the time is right
Dont ever be afraid to fight
