Mother Blues - Lyrics - Ratt

Title: Mother Blues
Artist: Ratt
Composer(s): Stephen Pearcy

Lyric:
I never knew I had a father
Until I lost the sun
I didn't understand what he did
Or what he has done

He took it much too far
Took it all in stride
I'll never reach the top of the mountain
Until I find out why

Mother blues
Mother blues

Came from this place there's no mistake
Where livin's not much fun
He knew his chances for romancing
He knew it all along

He took it much too far
Took it all in stride
I'll never reach the top of the mountain
Till I find out why

Mother blues
Mother blues

I'm gonna meet you there
I'm gonna find you
I know I'll see you soon

He took it much too far
Took it all in stride
I'll never reach the top of the mountain

You know she wanna be wit' him every time he cranks it up
Go around the corner to the soda fountain

Where all the guys and girls be
You know what I mean?

An' she get ready to go out this particular night
An' her mother say, "Daughter, you was just out last night
You can't go out tonight, that's too many nights in a row"
She go in the room an' fasten the door
An' won't answer the phone, won't eat
Won't talk to nobody, she got the blues
That's what's wrong wit' her

Some people call them the reds, the pinks
When ya get through it's the old-fashioned country blues
That's right
I haven't seen my main squeeze in ten long weeks, today
You know I got the blues

With it's two doors to choose but only one bears your name

Well, I'll shave off the pitch now in the scope of your tune

You?re stroking my cortex and you know I?m insane

Encompass them all to a position above

To split the world in two, yeah

Well I sing space lord mother
Space lord mother, space lord mother
Space lord mother

I lost my soul when I fell to earth
My planets called me to the void of my birth
The time has come for me to kill this game
Now open wide and say my name
Space lord mother, space lord mother
Space lord mother, space lord mother
Space lord mother, space lord mother

Lonesome Is The Mother Of Soul - Lyrics - Bill Anderson

Title: Lonesome Is The Mother Of Soul
Artist: Bill Anderson
Composer(s): Bill Anderson

Lyric:
They say I sing my songs with lots of blue eyed soul
What they mean is Lord I sing it sad
But feeling like I feel I can't sing no other way
She left me, Lord and oh I hurt so bad

And lonesome is the mother of soul
And lonesome gave birth to my blues
I'm the orphan child of emptiness
The son of heartache untold
And lonesome is the mother of soul

I thought that hurts like this were saved for those who are dying
Lord I must be dying and not know
The soulful sound you hear from me is only my heart crying
I'm lonesome and I miss my baby so

And lonesome is the mother of soul
And lonesome gave birth to my blues
I'm the orphan child of emptiness
The son of heartache untold
And lonesome is the mother of soul

Title: Early In The Morning

Artist: B.B. King
Composer(s): Joe Josea, Riley King

Lyric:
It's early in the morning and I can't get right
'Cause I had a little date with my baby last night

Now it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

I went to all the places where we used to go
I went to her house but she don't live there no more

And it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

I went to her girlfriend's house, but she was out
I knocked on her door and her mother started to shout
Get away from here

Too early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Went to Jenny Lou's to get something to eat
The waitress looked at me, she said, B., you sure look beat

It's early in the morning, baby
Early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Had a lot of money when I first started out
I couldn't find my baby, now my money's run out

Now it's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
It's early in the morning
And I ain't got nothin' but the blues
It's early in the morning
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Os - Ballad Of Noah - Lyrics - Atlantis: Hymns for Disco - K

Title: Os - Ballad Of Noah
Album: Atlantis: Hymns for Disco
Artist: K
Composer(s): Kevin Deron Brereton, Richard Terfry, Ian Prieto Mctair, Dexter Wansel, Ian Kamau Prieto Mctair

Lyric:
I am conflicted, traveling the path of the soul, so gifted
Still unable to break the mold
I lifted the veil and still could not see
Insisted my existence began with me

Seems that I lost much, lost touch of reality
It cost much of the soul
What a fallacy this world is at times, I can't escape
See myself with new eyes, now I'm trying to take

The first step on a path that I know
Is paved with much difficulty
So I think I must save myself
From a world that is falling down all around me

I hear the sounds of laughter callin' after me
Fallin' too fast, my close friends are asking me
Casting their glance at each other as they speak
With outstretched hands like I might be a victim of circumstance
But I run

If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails
We've all walked in each other's shoes
So everybody sings the blues
And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails
We've all walked in each other's shoes
So you don't have to sing the blues

Under the sky, across the land, with a horse
It felt like a sky and the land were divorced
The way, it wasn't easy, a rock in the past
So what's the matter with you when the rock just laughed?

Carrying a load for the conscious untoiling
I went to the water and the water was boiling
The load was heavy and rocks filled my course
My horse drank the water and the water killed my horse

I tried to keep going, weak in the knee
A righteous wind blew and it was speaking to me
The way seemed harder since my horse been dead
I couldn't understand everything the wind said

Looked up at the sky and seen something strange
Returned to my country and my country was up in flames
The trees were bleeding, they said they couldn't hide me
Where will I run to without my horse beside me?

If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails
We've all walked in each other's shoes
So everybody sings the blues
And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails
We've all walked in each other's shoes
So you don't have to sing the blues

Just like king Midas turned things to gold
I touched my soul and felt my warm blood turn cold
I was told, we paint the picture we want to see
The dream, she's the woman, I'm a machine

Jacqueline is my mother but not Onassis
Wearing sunglasses, taking me to pray on Sunday
Not one day, but three, we attended the church
Watched my father get up, grab the Bible and then work

The Scripture, get the picture?
Preacher in my blood
And people in my hood, no threat of attack
Just a jean jacket and an arcade, the fact

From a ecclesiastic kid who was afraid to be black
Imagine that type of ghetto
It still isn't settled
I play Sex Pistols and listen to heavy metal

I ate lunch all by myself in a meadow
And healed every scar with wishing to be a star
Now it's on, so tell me why I sing a sad song
Who's the pawn? Was I being fooled all along?

Not at all 'cause now I'm strong
Innocence deterred, was never gone
I feel it, it's coming, the break of dawn

If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails
We've all walked in each other's shoes
So everybody sings the blues
And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails
We've all walked in each other's shoes
So you don't have to sing the blues

Lyric:
The summer, the summer
The summer, the summer

Hello to your mother, your brother, significant other
I am the summertime and I'm here to free your mind
Kick off your shoes, the blues and use anything but your mind
'Cause this is the summertime and it's here to free your mind

How many other people can you save today?
Don't you think, it's high time that you sail away?
Leave today, don't fall behind

Try something new, turn into you, if only for a short time
And feel your head recline
Kick off your shoes, the blues and use anything but your mind
'Cause this is the summertime

How many other people can you save today?
Don't you think, it's high time that you sail away?
Leave today, don't fall behind

Hello to your mother, your brother, significant other
I am the summertime and I'm here to free your mind

How many other people can you save today?
But don't you think, it's high time that you sail away?
Leave today, don't fall behind

Hello to your mother, your brother, significant other
I am the summertime and I'm here to free your mind
I am the summertime and I'm here to free your mind, go

Hello to your mother, your brother, significant other

I'd give anything I have to just see that little girl again

Ends - Lyrics - Whitey Ford Sings The Blues - Everlast

Title: Ends
Album: Whitey Ford Sings The Blues
Artist: Everlast
Composer(s): Dante Ross, Erik Schrody

Lyric:
Some people will rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, I want my ends

Cat named Darrell, he didn't have a dollar
He was Harvard material, Ivy League scholar
Had a Ph.D., had an M.B.A.
But now he's waiting tables 'cause it's rent to pay

Companies downsizing, inflation's rising
Can't find a job, he's feeling kind of stressed
Don't even feel the effects when he says
Forgot to count how many times I've been blessed

So falls off track, starts smoking the Crack
And once it hits his brain, starts a chain react
Sells the shirt off his back, shoes off his feet
He's losing all his teeth, now he's out in the street

And all of sudden he's like, Jesse James
Trying to stick up kids for their watches and chains
But he's from Business School, he's nervous with the tool
So he ends up on his back in a bloody pool for the ends

Some people will rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, want my ends

I knew this chick named Sally, she had a nice strut
Everywhere that I went, she was on the cut
Swinging that butt like place your ad here
Only rapped the Benz and rocked the fly gear

Brand name wearing, champagne waving
Jewels around her neck, lotta style she's craving
Ain't no saving, she's doing enough spending
You do the lending, she'll do the bending

Straight machine vending, it's money for take
Shopping sprees get her on her knees
Hit her with the keys of your crib, you acting funny
Come home one day, find her counting out your money

From the Wetlands to the way to the Apollo
If you're broke she'll spit, you're rich
She might swallow for the ends

Some people will rob their mother for the ends
The rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, want my ends

I knew those two homeboys, who made a lot of noise
Making money on the block, kids was on they jock
They were tougher than leather like Reverend Run
DMC, they was toting guns

And holdin' weight, goin' out of state
Stackin' mad chips and pushin' phat whips
Fly jewels, golds, got no job
And one disappeared, one got robbed for the ends

Some people will rob their mother for the ends
The rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further, I want my ends
I said, I want my ends

Some people will rob their mother for the ends
Rats snitch on one another for the ends
And sometimes kids get murdered for the ends

Lyric:
Sweet little sister
This scene's sure gettin' old
Don't you think
It's time we got to go

I got so twisted
Tryin' to make it right
Don't you know
We've wasted half the night

I was told to use my head
Be heard and never seen
It's just you're daddy's double talk, oh yeah, baby
And you don't mean no thing to me

Let's move it
Time to say so long
Let's move it
Let's get this mother on

Hey, little sister
In your high heeled shoes
Don't you know
It's time to learn the blues

Oh, sweet little sister
Time to get it on
Don't you know
The meanin' to this song

I recall what daddy said
Stay where you belong
That's just another lie, oh yeah
And you know it

So, let's get this baby on

Let's move it
Time to say so long
Let's move it
Let's get this mother on

Let's move it
Oh no, time to say so long
Let's move it
Yeah, let's get this mother on

Let's move it
Let's move it
Let's move it
It's just like that

It's just that double talk
Don't mean nothing to me
It's time to shake it loose
Shake it from the family tree

Let's move it
Time to say so long
Let's move it
Let's get this mother on

Let's move it
Baby, time to say so long
Let's move it
Let's get this mother on

Just move it

Moanin' Lisa Blues - Lyrics - Simpsons

Title: Moanin' Lisa Blues
Artist: Simpsons
Composer(s): Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jai Winding, John Boylan

Lyric:
I've got a bratty brother
Who bugs me every day
This morning my old mother
Gave my last cupcake away

My dad he acts like
Like he belongs in the zoo
I'm the saddest kid
The saddest kid in grade number two

I wish I had a pony
I wish I were eighteen
I wish I had a dime
For every kid who treats me mean

They tease me 'cause I'm diff'rent
Little diff'rent from the rest, oh yes
Well, I'm down so low
If I cheered up, I'd still be depressed

The saxophone's my best friend
I play all over town
But when I practice in my room, I hear
"Lisa! Keep it down"

Although I'm only eight years old
I've really paid my dues, it's true
That's why I've got a case of
A case of the moanin' Lisa blues

I wonder how I got here
I wonder what I'll be
The saddest little twig
On this crazy family tree

I feel like I'm a loser
With nothing left to lose
That's why I've got a case of
A case of the moanin' Lisa blues

Oh, there's just no postponing
A case of the moanin' Lisa blues

Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on
Try to get some of my cash
Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on
Try to get some of my cash
It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash

So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down
Hit that lonesome road
You know I packed up my suitcase
And I hit that lonesome, move on down
I'm still crying to make it when the day was done

Lyric:
Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low
Have you got the nerve to drive Papa McTell from your door

My mother died and left me reckless
My daddy died and left me wild, wild, wild
Mother died and left me reckless
Daddy died and left me wild, wild, wild

No, I'm not good lookin'
I'm some sweet woman's Angel child

You're a mighty mean woman, to do me this a way
You're a mighty mean woman, to do me this a way
When I leave this town, pretty mama, I'm going away to stay

While I loved a woman, better than even I'd ever seen
I once loved a woman, better than even I'd ever seen
Treat me like I was a king and she was a doggone queen

Sister, tell your brother, brother tell your auntie now
Auntie tell your uncle, uncle tell my cousin now, cousin tell my friend
Goin' up the country, mama, don't you want to go?
May take me a fair brown, may take me one or two more

Big Eighty left Savannah, Lord, and did not stop
You ought to saw that colored fireman when he got that boiler hot
You can reach over in the corner mama and hand me my travelin' shoes
You know by that, I've got them Statesboro blues

Mama, sister got 'em, auntie got 'em
Brother got 'em, friend got 'em, I got 'em
Woke up this morning, we had them Statesboro blues
I looked over in the corner, grandpa and grandma had 'em too

Either someone needing mercy
Or maybe something I've done wrong

Well, your friends come by for you
I don't know what to say
Well, your friends come by for you
I don't know what to say
I just can't face up to tell 'em
Honey, you just went away

Well, children cry for mother
I tell them, "Mother took a trip"
Well, children cry for mother
I tell them, "Mother took a trip"
Well, I walk on pins and needles
I hope my tongue don't slip

Well, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
Yes, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
But this sun goes around the heavens
And another day just drives on through

Way out in the distance
I know you're with some other man
Way out in the distance
I know you're with some other man
But that's alright, baby
You know I always understand

Call girls in the doorway
All giving me the eye
Call girls in the doorway
All giving me the eye
But my heart's just not in it
I might as well pass right on by

My ears are ringin'
Ringin' like empty shells
My ears are ringin'
Ringin' like empty shells
Well, it can't be no guitar player
It must be convent bells

Title: Inner City Blues ( Makes'S Me Wanna Holler)
Album: S.O.S.: Save Our Soul
Artist: Marc Broussard
Composer(s): James Nyx, Marvin Gaye

Lyric:
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
'Fore we see it you take it

Oh, make me wanna holler
The way they do my life, yeah
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life

This ain't livin', this ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no

Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die

Oh, make me wanna holler
Way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
Way they do my life, oh yeah

Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
Oh honey that I can't pay my taxes

Oh, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands
Yeah, make me wanna holler
Throw up both my hands

Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading

Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Yeah, make me wanna holler
They don't understand, oh

Mother, mother, mother, yeah
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us? Mother
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long

Ashgrove - Lyrics - Dave Alvin

Title: Ashgrove
Artist: Dave Alvin
Composer(s): Dave Alvin

Lyric:
Well when I was a young boy, I used to slip away
Down to the ashgrove to hear the old blues men play
There was big Joe and lightnin' and reverend Gary too
Well I'd sit and stare and dream of doin' what they could do

Well it's been thirty years since the ashgrove burned down
And I'm out on this highway travelin' town to town
Tryin' to make a livin', tryin' to pay the rent
Tryin' to figure out where my life went

I wanna go back to the ashgrove
That's where I come from
I wanna go back to the ashgrove
That's where I belong

Well you don't have to go searchin', pretend to put on airs
'Cause the blues are gonna find you someday, somewhere
Now my mother's gone, now my fathers gone
And all the old blues men have all passed on

And I'm out on this highway travelin' town to town
Settin' up my gear and then I'm tearin' it down
Turnin' up my guitar, standin' up on the stage
I'm just tryin' to raise the ghosts up out of their graves

I wanna go back to the ashgrove
That's where I come from
Yeah I wanna go back to the ashgrove
That's where I belong

Well I can't say I been all sinner, can't say I been all saint
I've done some good deeds and I've made big mistakes
I've been in and out of love, said words I regret
I've been drunk, been sober smoked too many cigarettes

And I'm out on this highway travelin' town to town
And the news on the radio just brings me down
Intolerance and fear, ignorance and lies
It's the same old same old I heard a million times

And I'm thinkin' of friends and lovers and how they come and go
Like look-alike houses on the side of the road
Full of everyday people tryin' to get ahead
Tryin' to find a reason just to get out of bed

'Cause we all need somethin' just to get us through
Well I'm gonna play the blues tonight man
'Cause that's what I do

I'm goin' back to the ashgrove
That's where I come from
I'm goin' back to the ashgrove
That's where I belong

Shoppin' - Lyrics - Cher

Title: Shoppin'
Artist: Cher
Composer(s): Michelle Aller, Bob East

Lyric:
I'm shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I'm walking up to the counter and say
I want this sweater, I sure feel better
Shoppin', gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', you don't need money down
Charge it, wrap it, send it shoppin'

Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated all the way to the second floor
I couldn't hide my passion for the latest fashion craze
My mama told me that's just another phase I'm going through
Whatcha got that's new?

Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Instead of eating 'cause my man's cheating
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', while everyone else is smokin', token', coken'
Well, I'll be shoppin', hit it, boys

Excuse me Miss, see that, the dress over there?
How many colors does it come in?
Yes, all right, no, I'd like every one
No, I'm not going to try it, I know it'll fit

Ooh, you know what?
Let's go up, oh, they're having a sale
My God, I love sales
No, I don't have a last name

It's just Cher, just plain Cher
Ooh, I like the shoes
Do you think you could this thing
It's all pink and wrinkly it's
What a darling little bag

Shoppin', I'm gonna buy it
Shoppin', I never try it on for size
Shoppin, will I like it
Shoppin', does the color match my eyes?

Folks say I'm daring for what I'm wearing
I'm always scaring the people's staring
So I'm declaring, I'm tired of swearing
I'm just shoppin'

Shoppin', I'm gonna but my blues away
Shoppin', I got bad news today
Shoppin', I'm gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin', don't need money down

Shoppin', gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin', walking up to the counter and say
I want that sweater, I sure feel better
Shoppin', charge it, wrap it, send it

Shoppin', instead of eating 'cause my man's cheating
I've been shoppin'
While other people may be smokin', token', coken'
I'll be shoppin'
