The Clown

What a year it’s been
With everybody running around
I tried my best
But I made a fool of myself
I gave it a chance
I fell in love, yes
I tried to dance
But I missed a step or two
I’m a clown
A stranger in my hometown
I’m a clown
A stranger in my hometown
I never knew
That I could still feel so blue
I guess it’s time to pack my things
And hit the road again
I’m a clown
A stranger in my hometown
I’m a clown
A stranger in my hometown
I never know where to keep myself
And I’ve been waiting for someone else
But everytime I see you
I cry
Cause I know that I
Am just the clown
A stranger in my hometown
The clown
A stranger in my hometown
I’ve been waiting for someone else
I’ve been waiting for someone else
I never know where to keep myself
I never know how to hold myself
I never know what to say
As I’m waiting for someone else
As I’m waiting for someone else
I’ve been waiting for someone else

Everybody's running
Everybody's rolling
Everybody's taking
Everybody's stealing
And I don't know what to do
2020 the year of our Lord
That's when the whole thing went overboard
And I don't know what to do
First came George and the white man's knee
Then came disease to kill the bourgeoisie
Oh what a year it's been
Everybody's running
Everybody's rolling
Everybody's taking
Everybody's stealing
And I don't know what to do
Then the king tried to steal the throne from the people
Everybody saw and everybody knew
But no one knew what to do
And just about the time I was ready quit
You came along to save this half-wit twit
And now I know what to do
Cause everybody's running
Everybody's rolling
Everybody's taking
Everybody's stealing
But me
And you
But me
And you
Me and you know what to do
Me and you know what to do
Oh no, you're not alone
Oh non, t'es pas toute seule fille
Oh no, you're not alone love
Oh non, t'es pas toute seule fille

Bob and his Guitar
07:13

I don’t have the nerve to call him my friend
If he was here he’d tell you,
‘Ya know, it’s really not my problem’
You’re always tangled up in blue
Girl, you know, Bob sang for you
He sang against the winds
Bob and his guitar played their songs
Bob and his guitar played all night long
Mama, you can put his guns away
Soon he won’t be able to play
So just for tonight, baby! please let’s endure
And let’s put on Like a Rolling Stone
And dance into the night
Bob and his guitar played their songs
Bob and his guitar played all night long
Bob and his guitar are knock knock knocking on heaven’s door
Bob and his guitar make me want to be more
He tried to change the world and he changed the winds
A jokerman forever misunderstood
Well, Bobby sang for you and me
Blowing in the wind
The idiot wind
How does it feel?
To be on your own
To be without a home
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
How does it feel?
Napoleon in rags
Napoleon in rags
Oh miss lonely
With no direction home
Tell me how does it feel?
To be without a home
To be without a home

She don’t believe in medicine
She don’t believe in science
She thinks it’s all fake news
She don’t believe in love
She’s my red headed hippy girl yea
My red headed hippy girl yea
My red headed hippy girl yea
But I love her still
She don’t believe in love
She don’t believe in love, no
She thinks it’s all fake news
She don’t believe me when I tell her that I love her
She’s my red headed hippy girl yea
My red headed hippy girl yea
My red headed hippy girl yea
But I love her still
I don’t know where she’s been all this time
See for her I would do just about any crime
And to hear her sing, oh baby what a sound
I never thought I’d find a girl like her around
I love her still
I never thought I’d find a girl like her around
A girl like her around
A girl like her around
My red headed hippy girl
Red headed hippy girl
Red headed hippy girl
Red headed hippy girl
I love her still
I never thought I’d find a girl like her around
A girl like her around

There’s a guy who likes this girl but
He’s too afraid to tell her
So he shows her pain instead
And tells her ‘I can’t help you
I just have to hurt you
Cause I love you so much'
And I know if I told you
That you’d walk away
And when the pain it gets too much
The bully shows his sweet side
He's gonna tell you he’s weak and scared and can’t help himself
Don’t you know that bullies all have a sweet side
Just enough to keep you close
Don’t you know that bullies all have a sweet side
Just enough to take advantage of your sweet side
When you love somebody
You’ve got to let them know
You gotta show it baby
More than you know
And when the pain it gets too much
The bully shows his sweet side
He's gonna tell you he’s weak and scared and can’t help himself
Don’t you know that bullies all have a sweet side
Just enough to keep you close
Don’t you know that bullies all have a sweet side
Just enough to take advantage of your sweet side
Just enough to keep you close
Just enough to keep you close
Just enough to keep you close
Just enough to keep you feeling blue
And when the pain it gets too much
The bully shows his sweet side
He's gonna tell you he’s weak and scared and can’t help himself
And when the pain it gets too much
The bully shows his sweet side
You better run like the wind, grab your things and come in home
You better run like the wind, grab your things and come in home
Don’t you know that bullies all have a sweet side
Just enough to keep you close
Don’t you know that bullies all have a sweet side
Just enough to take you away
Just enough to take you away
Just enough to take you away from me
Oh baby please don’t go

Where Is Our Luck?
04:58

I quiver when I think of you
The way you did when you danced with me
Know the feelings for me were true
Even standing in all of this debris
We talked about some fears
But that only led to tears
Blinded by the hurt
Lost is the love that we found at first
To feel something so new
Is to be done with being blue
How is it that it all blew up?
To feel something so new
Is to be done with being blue
How did it end so fucked up?
We were both scarred and on guard
My church is now left charred to the ground
We did love one another
But pride has burned the whole tree down to embers
To feel something so new
Is to be done with being blue
How is it that it all blew up?
To feel something so new
Is to be done with being blue
How did it end so fucked up?
Where is our luck?
Where is our luck?
Even without a guarantee
I could feel it right down to my knees
Now I see you on that street
Where ghosts of old loves come to piss
What to do when we meet?
Well, I’d be happy with a kiss
To feel something so new
Is to be done with being blue
How is it that it all blew up?
To feel something so new
Is to be done with being blue
How did it end so fucked up?
Where is our love?
Where is our love?
Where is our luck?

Love (So Sad)
05:47
|

You took advantage of me
And all you had to say
Was 'Baby don't you worry now
Everything is ok'
You took advantage of
My kindness and how
Told me not to worry my pretty face
With the way the world goes 'round
You took my heart
And played it for a fool
But even a fool deserves to be treated right
Don't you know that lying and cheating ain't right
Love ain't supposed to be so bad
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling mad
Love ain't supposed to be so bad
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling sad
And when I told you I was hurt
All you had to say was
'Is it really all that bad
Or aren't you man enough?'
You took my heart
And played it for a fool
But even a fool deserves to be treated right
Don't you know that lying and cheating ain't right
Love ain't supposed to be so bad
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling mad
Love ain't supposed to be so bad
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling sad
Love ain't the thing you're thinking of
When you're running and drinking and swearing and fighting all night
Love ain't the thing you're thinking of
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling blue
You took my heart
And played it for a fool
But even a fool deserves to be treated right
Don't you know that drinking and fighting ain't right
Love ain't supposed to be so bad
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling mad
Love ain't supposed to be so bad
It ain't supposed to leave us feeling mad
Feeling bad
Feeling sad

There's a girl who lives around here
She came around and knocked a few things around
Yea, a girl who lives around here
The queen of the block
In the day I protect her
Night time she protects me
She don't mistake my tenderness
For the weakness in a man
Nadia
Nadia
Can you hear?
It's me
There's a girl who lives around here
She came around and knocked a few things around
Yea, a girl who knocked and took my heart away
The queen of the block
In the day I protect her
Night time she protects me
She don't mistake my tenderness
For the weakness in a man
Nadia
Nadia
Can you hear?
It's me
Mama, can you hear me now?
I'm calling out your name
Mama, can you hear me now?
I'm calling out your name
Mama, can you hear me now?
There's fire in my veins
Mama, can you hear me now?
