Kansas City from The New Basement Tapes

New music! "And I love you dear, but just how long, Can I keep singing the same old song..."

I listen to you time and time again

While you tell me just what's right

And you tell me a thousand things a day

Then sleep somewhere's else in the night

I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

I'm going back to Kansas City

And you called me to come, then I do

Then you say you've made some mistake

You invite me into your house

Then you say gotta to pay for what you break

Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

I'm going back to Kansas City

Gypsy woman, you know every place I go

Even a thousand miles away from home

And you don't care if I'm asleep or I'm awake

This fickle heart just turned to stone

Going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

I'm going back to Kansas City

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

And I love you dear, but just how long

Can I keep singing the same old song

I'm going back to Kansas City

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

Mood..."The child is grown, The dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb..."

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

Come on now
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain 
Get you on your feet again. 

Relax. 
I'll need some information first. 
Just the basic facts. 
Can you show me where it hurts? 

There is no pain you are receding 
A distant ship smoke on the horizon. 
You are only coming through in waves. 
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. 
When I was a child I had a fever 
My hands felt just like two balloons. 
Now I've got that feeling once again 
I can't explain you would not understand 
This is not how I am. 
I have become comfortably numb. 

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more, ah!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse 
Out of the corner of my eye. 
I turned to look but it was gone 
I cannot put my finger on it now 
The child is grown, 
The dream is gone. 
I have become comfortably numb.

Granny by Dave Matthews Band

"I say it's love, hiding deep, deep down inside us all..."

Hello, how are you doin' today?

I hope I find you feeling healthy

I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today

On our way into the night

I say its love, its hidin' deep, deep down inside us all

So maybe, we should lift it up above from a deep inside

Love, it's not so tough and you come admit it to

Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop, only the old and wise, with clouded eyes

You can't see what I can, 'cause I

Blindly throw my faith to the face

Of the next pretty girl to come my way

Here we are all of us stand around

We're leaning heavy on each other

Always wondering' what is it lies behind

The worried eyes of one another

I believe it's love, it's hiding there, in the shadows in the dark it's

Baby we'll shed a little light and it will shine

Love, when I approach, my tears they fall like rain

'Cause you know baby, my heart's into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop, only the old and wise, with clouded eyes

You can't see what I can, 'cause I

Blindly throw my faith to the face

Of the next good thing to come my way

I say it's love, so share it out, share it fair, but share it liberal

Maybe our thing's a better world than it could be love

But love, when I approach, the tears they fall like rain

You tell me baby, your heart's into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop, only the old and wise, with clouded eyes

You can't see what I can, I

Blindly throw my faith to the face

Of the next good thing to come my way

Fearless by Pink Floyd

Forever my favorite Pink Floyd song. "And I'll climb that hill in my own way, Just wait a while for the right day..."

You say the hill's too steep to climb
Chiding
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb the hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day

And as I rise above
The tree-line and the clouds
I look down
Hear the sound
Of the things you said today

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning

And who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And every day is the right day

And as you rise above
The fear-lines in his brow
You look down
Hear the sound
Of the faces in the crowd

Cry Freedom by Dave Matthews band

"Hands and feet are all alike, But gold between divide us, Hands and feet are all alike, But fear between divide us, All slip away..."

How can I turn away

Brother/Sister go dancing

Through my head

Human as to human

The future is no place

To place your better days

Cry freedom cry

From a crowd 10, 000 wide

Hope laid upon hope

That this crowd will not subside

Let this flag burn to dust

And a new a fair design be raised

While we wait head in hands

Hands in prayer

And fall into a dreamless sleep again

And we wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike

But gold between divide us

Hands and feet are all alike

But fear between divide us

All slip away

There was a window and by it stood

A mirror in which

He could see himself

He thought of something

Something he had never had but hoped would come along

Cry freedom, cry

From deep inside

Where we are all confined

While we wave hands in fire

Wave our hands

Hands and feet are all alike

But gold between divide us

Hands and feet are all alike

But fear between divide us,

Slip away

In this room stood a little child

And in this room this little child

She would remain

Until someone might decide

To dance this little child

Across this hall

Into a cold, dark, space

Where she might never trace her way across this crooked mile

Across this crooked page

Cry freedom, cry

From deep inside where

We are all confined

Till we wave our hands

How can I turn away

Brother/Sister go dancing

Through my head

Human as to human

The future is no place

To place your better days

Hands and feet are all alike

But gold between divide us

Hands and feet are all alike

But fear between divide us

Hands and feet are all alike

Hear what I say

Hear what I say

Oh, so be it

How can I turn away

Brother/Sister go dancing

Through my head

Human as to human

The future is no place

To place your better days

We Just Disagree by Dave Mason

"We were friends, Now it's the end of our love song..."

Been away, haven't seen you in a while.
How've you been?
Have you changed your style and do you think
That we've grown up differently? 
Don't seem the same
Seems you've lost your feel for me

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.
There's only you and me and we just disagree.
Ooo - ooo - ooohoo oh - oh - o-whoa

I'm going back to a place that's far away.
How bout you?
Have you got a place to stay?
Why should I care?
When I'm just trying to get along 
We were friends
Now it's the end of our love song...

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.
There's only you and me and we just disagree.
Ooo - ooo - ooohoo oh - oh - o-whoa

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye.
There ain't no good guys, there ain't no bad guys.
There's only you and me and we just disagree.
Ooo - ooo - ooohoo oh - oh - o-whoa

You Can Sleep While I Drive by Melissa Etheridge

"My intentions are true, won't you take me with you, and baby you can sleep while I drive..."

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive

I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive

We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams

You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life
My intentions are true
Won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Feel It All by KT Tunstall

"Do you know what you've done for me, You made my branches grow, Now they can play with the wind, And they can carry the snow...And we can feel it all..."

I'm growing like a seed
Rains been falling on me
I've been covered in cold
I've been shrouded and downed
My heart is on a wire
Sailing pretty like a bird
But the hunter is out
And the eagle is hurt

The word that I can
Feel, feel it all
Yes, I can feel
Feel it all

I'm looking to the sky
And I'll be listening to the stars
And maybe thinking of you
And wondering where you are
Do you know what you've done for me
You made my branches grow
Now they can play with the wind
And they can carry the snow

And they can feel
Feel it all
Yes, they can feel,
Feel it all

So take what you want
Leave what you don't need
And I'll go looking for you
You keep your eye out for me
'cause our heart is on a wire
Sitting pretty like a bird
But the hunter is hunting
And the eagle is us

And we can feel
Feel it all
Yes, we can feel
Feel it all

Oh, we can feel
Feel it all
Oh, we can feel
Feel it all
Feel, feel
Feel it all
And we can
Feel, feel it all

Feel, feel
Feel it all
Oh, we can
Feel, feel
we can feel
feel it all
Feel, feel
Feel it all

Balcony/ Green Eyes by Joe Purdy

"It's enough to make me run away with you, Darling green eyes are better than blue..."

Will you stay with me

In the balcony

And we'll slink in our seats

As the people all leave

We can hide out as the curtain comes down

And fall asleep to sleeping sounds

When the morning is growing near

I'll see if the coast is clear

Green eyes are better than blue

I ain't trying to be mean I'm just telling the truth

It's enough to make me run away with you

Darling green eyes are better than blue

She says this isn't easy you know

Loving the hands that you ain't s'pose to hold

And I'll pray for the days that I won't sleep alone

She says this isn't easy you know

Green eyes are better than blue

I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth

It's enough to make me run away with you

Darling green eyes are better than blue

Johnny says don't bring her down

When the pedestal crumbles and falls to the ground

You will wish that you left her the way that you found her

Johnny says don't bring her down

Green eyes are better than blue

I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth

It's enough to make me run away with you

Darling green eyes are better than blue

Well I saw you in the water last night

You were smiling at me as you slipped out of sight

When I woke from my dream I was screaming for life

'Cause I saw you in the water last night

Green eyes are better than blue

I ain't trying to be mean, just telling the truth

It's enough to make me run away with you

Darling green eyes are better than blue

I said green eyes are better than blue

I said green eyes are better than blue

I said green eyes are better than blue

This Year's Love by David Gray

"Before I open up my arms and fall, losing all control, every dream inside my soul..."

This year's love had better last

Heaven knows it's high time

I've been waiting on my own too long

And when ya hold me like you do

It feels so right oh now

I start to forget how my heart gets torn

When that hurt gets thrown

Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles and time again

Cut like a knife oh now

If ya love me got to know for sure

'Cause it takes something more this time

Than sweet, sweet lies oh now

Before I open up my arms and fall

Losing all control

Every dream inside my soul

When ya kiss me on that midnight street

Sweep me off my feet

Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"

This year's love had better last

This year's love had better last

'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn

When that hurt gets thrown

Don't ya know this life goes on?

Won't ya kiss me on that midnight street?

Sweep me off my feet

Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"

This year's love had better last

This year's love had better last

This year's love had better last

This year's love had better last

This year's love had better last

Woah woah woah I yeah

This year's love had better last

On The Turning Away by Pink Floyd

Perfect for these days. Listen to it loud and sing even louder!

"Where the speechless unite, In a silent accord..."

On the turning away

From the pale and downtrodden

And the words they say

Which we won't understand

"Don't accept that what's happening

Is just a case of others' suffering

Or you'll find that you're joining in

The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow

Light is changing to shadow

And casting it's shroud

Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown

Driven on by a heart of stone

We could find that we're all alone

In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night

As the daytime is stirring

Where the speechless unite

In a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange

And mesmerized as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change

On the wings of the night

No more turning away

From the weak and the weary!!!!!

No more turning away

From the coldness inside!!!!!

Just a world that we all must share

It's not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that there'll be

No more turning away?

Yer So Bad by Tom Petty

"In a world gone mad, yer so bad..."

My sister got lucky, married a yuppie

Took him for all he was worth

Now she's a swinger dating a singer

I can't decide which is worse

But not me baby, I've got you to save me

Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had

In a world gone mad, yer so bad

My sister's ex-husband can't get no lovin'

Walks around dog-faced and hurt

Now he's got nothin', head in the oven

I can't decide which is worse

But not me baby, I've got you to save me

Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had

In a world gone mad, yer so bad

Oh, but not me baby, I've got you to save me

Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had

In a world gone mad, yer so bad

A constant

Lost In My Mind by The Head and the Heart

"I won't see you for some time, I am lost in my mind..."

Put your dreams away for now
I won't see you for some time
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind

Momma once told me
You're already home where you feel love
I am lost in my mind
I get lost in my mind

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Oh my brother
Your wisdom is all that I need
Oh my brother
Don't you worry 'bout me

Don't you worry
Don't you worry, don't worry about me

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

How's that bricklayin' coming
How's your engine running
Is that bridge getting built
Are your hands getting filled

Won't you tell me my brother
'Cause there are stars up above
We can start moving forward

Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

How's that bricklayin' coming
How's your engine running
Is that bridge getting built…

Brain Damagae into Eclipse by Pink Floyd

"There's someone in my head but it's not me...."

Brain Damage:
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Eclipse:
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet (everyone you meet)
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

The Mountains Win Again by Blues Traveler

"Oh can you feel the same, Oh you gotta love the pain..."

I pick up my smile put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry so how am I to stop it
Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya

Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh you gotta love the pain!
Ooh it looks like rain again
Ooh I feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
The mountains win again

Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life I was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on I'll be careful what I share

Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh ya gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Yeah feel it comin' in
The mountains win again

A pocket is no place for a smile anyway!!!
Someday I may find love again will blow my mind
Maybe it will be that love that got away from me
Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight

Can you feel the same
Yeah ya gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Ooh feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
Ooh the mountains win again
