Ain´t saying nothing, nothing but the truth
if you don´t believe me that is up to you
and it is you, who is acting like a fool
I don´t wanna hear you singing the same old Blues
Well from the beginning music was my fate
and for sure you knew that before being my mate
now it is too, too late; it´s no use for a debate
Yes I´m gonna move I´ve got a date
Uuuuuuuuuhh that´s it,
That´s another argument with my babe
well, you know, I´m a musician
and that is exactly what is all about
because the stages doesn´t knock on your door and
say: Hello, do you want to play here?
No, you’ve got to look for them
get on the van, back on the road, up the line
If you want to play, you got to be on the road, man
And this is something my babe
don´t want to understand, you Know?
Well, I´m gonna tell you what I do. Listen:
I go, play, get my money and drive back home
and in the moment I come across my door
she starts singing the same old song.
Goes this way:
“I know you don´t love me ´cos you´re never at home
you´re always on the spree while I´m here alone
uuuuuuuh, always here on my own”
And that´s no fun, ´cos I´m gonna tell you what I got:
I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road
But she doesn´t seem to understand, she kept on saying:
“That´s a vagrant´s pastime , not a decent job
You don´t get enough money and you make me sob
uuuuuuuuh, oh, yes you make me sob”
I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road
I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road
I´ve been playing in the big, big cities
and the small villages too
and It has been worth every place i´ve been to
´cos I´ve been appreciated and understood
So come on please please please try not to forget
all the things that I´ve left behind
to live the life I choose it´s the risk that I take
This is all I´ve got but I feel fine

Please don´t you come to me moaning, don´t you plea
nightlife gets you tired, ain´t gonna be the same no more
I don´t care, babe, I don´t care
we´ve got enough reasons to go ahead
Reasons to keep us going further up the road
I don´t want to see you yawning, better wink at me
don´t you say, honey, don´t you say
this is a caprice, our lives are a waste
Please don´t you say we are not the same we used to be
even if it´s true I would prefer to live a lie
The beat goes on, that´s what I need
keep on keeping on, keep the faith

Some fellas look at the eyes
some fellas look at the nose
some fellas look at the size
and some fellas look at the clothes
I don´t care if the eyes are grey
I don´t care if the nose is long
I don´t care if she is under fed
I don´t care if the clothes are wrong
First I look at the purse
Some fellas look at the smile they wear
Some fellas look at the nails, that´s all !!
Some fellas look at the style of the hair
Some fellas look the waist to be small
I don´t care if the teeth are big
I don´t care if the nails are big
I don´t care if her hair is a wig
why waste time looking at the waist line ?
First I look at the purse
A woman can be as fine as can be
with kisses sweet as honey
but they don´t mean a thing to me
if she ain´t got no money
because the first sight
that where is at !!
Some fellas look at the way they walk,
the way they swing and sway
Some fellas look at the way they talk
and the silly little things they say
I don´t care if she waddles like a duck
I´m trying to wishper please
I´m still break, I am on the run
for the dollar bills I craze
First I look at the purse

Waiting at the station
04:24
|
|||
I’ve been waiting at the station all night long
Up all night in the freezin’, freezin’ cold
I have seen too many trains pass
and I dunno wich one is in my class
Time to leave and the motors roar
even if you don’t get on, now it will go
never gonna be another like this one
you gonna get it on
Water that flows never is the same
always changing and a moving
watch them slide through your hands
tryin’ to freeze movin’ sands
Don´t you worry ‘bout the luggage anymore
cos’ you ain´t got none to hold, no home to go
Don’t think it no more, make up your mind, and get a hold
cos’ if you don´t do it now, you’ll never do it at all
Time to leave and the motors roar
even if you don’t get on, now it will go
never gonna be another like this one
you gonna get it on
Water that flows never is the same
always changing and a moving
watch them slide through your hands
tryin’ to freeze movin’ sands

Junior's first harp
03:59
|
|||
Went to that pawnshop
they had a harp priced at two bucks
I had to have it, I get a job on a soda truck
playing hooky from school
I worked all week on the soda truck
because I had to have it
I had to have that harp
Saturday morning, the man gave buck and a half
¡¡one dollar fifty!! for a whole week of hard work
that´s a pretty shame
“It´s two dollars, boy” said the man in the shop
I laid my dollar fifty, took the harp and run
because I had to have it
I had to have that harp
I ran like the Devil but they caught me up
then came my trial and the judge asked me
“¿Why did you do it, boy?”
I said “please have mercy, I had to have that harp”
Then he asked me to play and so I did
and when he heard me then he understood
and gave the man the fifty cents that I owed
he shouted “¡¡Case dismissed!! and then he let me go

Coming home
03:53
|

I’m coming home
I’m coming home with you
I’m coming home
I’m coming home with you
I don’t really care
if I’m coming or going
what really matters is
that we carry on still together
Been away a long time
I couldn’t get to say how long
lot of experiences in my mind
I took the best of them all
and I really feel the need
to tell the world about it
I’m coming home
I’m coming home with you
I’m coming home
I’m coming home with you
I’m sitting here alone
all by myself on this train
I don’t really care if I get there
or have to start all over again
are the wheels rolling or is this world spinning?
Don’t really mind
as long you are close to me
Don’t really mind
as long you are close to me

Damn Sham
04:04
|
|||
I’ve been thinking for a long time, you know
something that everybody has to know
I´m talking about the typical natural man
always willing to drink
to drink the whole damn sham
that soaks up the lies the media declares
Look at empty TV, just sit down and stare
believes he is really so well informed
Other worlds exist under different forms
Not seeing realities further than the tip of his nose
only narrow thoughts stuck on what he knows
Not to try to amplify your views of life
Ours is just, just to do and die
So much left to do that wasting time is a crime
believing in what they say ‘cause millions do the same
Never put in doubt the great masquerade
All their tricks are out there on parade
The same picture see where it hits you
Do you believe you would?
Not seeing realities further than the tip of his nose
Only narrow thoughts stuck on what he knows

M-O-N-E-Y
M-O-N-E-Y
money can change from hand to hand
and it can change from land
walk on, walk on, telling me why
ain´t there something that money can´t buy
money, MONEY!!
money, MONEY!!
Money can buy you silk and silver
or sweet liquor paid and flavoured
love is there, all willing and able
long as it catches some of the thing
walk on, walk on, telling me why
ain´t there something that money can´t buy
money, MONEY!!
money, MONEY!!

Move your body, move your bones

Everybody knows you dance like a chicken
Get the feeling, you got the key

Everybody says that you got Soul
Moving on up
Yeah, give it everything you got
I try to tell you something that could change your rules, come on feel the experience of this infectious groove
Free your brain, relax your mind
give it all you got inside
Rock the music, enjoy the swing

then you’ll see the world in a different way

Black Cat
02:49
|
|||
I was having one of those dreams and I was feeling pretty bad
I broke a dozen mirrors with each hand I ever had
a shower of plastic tulips kept falling off the moon
I had to send a man to find the floorboards of my room
Black cat. Keep that black cat away from here
Black cat. Keep that black cat away
Someone broke a window and I squeezed trough the crack
I had to ask a blind man to show me the way back
but when he’d gone I bit my lip and try hard not to scream
I had to face that black cat with his evil eyed dream
Black cat. Keep that black cat away from here
Black cat. Keep that black cat outta here
Well he chased me through November cat figure all the time
when I felt his fur upon me I thought I blow my mind
I know there’s something black going on inside my head
when I woke up, there he was, lying on my bed
Black cat. Keep that black cat away from here
Black cat. Keep him away

Vinyl junkie
03:45
|

A vinyl Junkie, that's what I am
Keep on searching what I cant afford
When I found them I can't control myself
Compulsive collector, l just can't stop
I ain't saying nothing about those CD’s
Talking about vinyl, real records very sought
I wouldn’t loose, just one chance to buy some more
Somebody’s saying they'll disappear but we're storing quite a lot
Ain't got enough money, (cos) I want to buy them all
And don't even have the time to hear the records that I've bought
But I don't mind, no
Look my collection
We know it's worth, yeah and you know it's true

City Lights
03:02
|

I can see the city lights reaching everywhere
Leaving thousands of souls on sight
I can see the city lights abd its reflection
blinding even those who hide
You got to believe me baby, that when the lights blind you
only into the darkness can open your eyes again
I can see the city lights, feel its heat
how it burns on all sides
You'd rather go blind than to see something
that would have never liked to find
You got to believe me baby, that when the lights blind you
only into the darkness can open your eyes again

Time
06:28
|
|||
More time, that's what I need
More time, I want it yes indeed
My time never ain't enough
No time, and that's quite rough
The time, slips away
The time, ain't no way to retain
More time, it's what I want
More time, that's what I need right now
Can spend your whole life earning money as a blinding
Not being able to enjoy it 'cos you got no time
When you became old you cannot buy more time
And then you'll realize you have wasted your shine
Live your life, enjoy your time
before it's too late and you can't turn it back
It's neither 40 day months nor 20 months a year
But to make up your mind and organize your life
So many people to know and things to see
And I got no time
Many movies to watch and books to read
Never got the time
So much love to make and feelings to feel
And I got no time
so many roads to ride and records to hear
Never got the time
Have to work, got to sleep
But when do I have the time to live
Your life is happening besides the plans you are making
