PURPLE HAZE
Purple haze all in my brain

Lately things just don't seem the same

Actin' funny, but I don't know why

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around

Don't know if I'm comin' up or down

Am I happy or in misery?

What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me

Help me

Oh, no, no

Hammerin'

Talkin' 'bout heart 'n'...s-soul

I'm talkin' about hard stuff

If everbodys still around, fluff and ease, if

So far out my mind

Somethings happening, somethings happening

Ooo, ahhh

Ooo, ahhh,

Ooo, ahhh

Ooo, ahhh, YEAH!

Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh

Don't know if its day or night

You got me blowin', blowin' my mind

Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

Ooo

Help me

Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze, yeah

Oh, no, oh

Oh, help me

Purple haze, tell me, baby, tell me

I can't go on like this

Purple haze

You're makin' me blow my mind...mama

Purple haze, n-no, nooo

Purple haze, no, its painful, baby

MANIC DEPRESSION
Manic depression is touching my soul

I know what I want but I just don't know

How to, go about gettin' it

Feeling sweet feeling,

Drops from my fingers, fingers

Manic depression is catchin' my soul

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain

You make love, you break love

It's all the same

When it's, when it's over, mama

Music, sweet music

I wish I could caress, caress, caress

Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,

And go on down

All the way down

Really ain't no use in me hanging around

In your kinda scene

Music, sweet music

I wish I could caress, caress, caress

Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Ow! ow!

Music sweet music sweet music

Sweet music sweet music

HEY JOE

LOVE OR CONFUSION
Is that the stars in the sky, or is it, rain fallin' down

Will it burn me if I touch the sun-uh, yeah, so big, so round

Would I be truthful, yeah, in, uh,

in chosin' you as the one for me?

Is this love, baby, or is it, uh-huh,

Just, uh, confusion?

O-Oh, my mind is so messed up-uh,
Goin' 'round and 'round

Must there be all these colors-uh

Without names, without sound, baby?

My heart burns with feeling, but, uh

Woe, but my mind, its cold and reeling

Is this love, baby, or, uh-huh, or is it confusion?

Oh, my head is poundin', poundin'

Goin' 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round

Must there always be these colors?, uh

Without names, without sound

My heart burns with feelin'

Oh, but my mind is cold and reelin', uh

Is this love, baby

Or is it-uh, huh, just, uh, confusion?

Oh, you tell me baby, is this , uh, love or confusion?

Mama, we must get together and, uh, find out

Exactly what we're tryin' to do

Love or confusion?, confusion

MAY THIS BE LOVE
Waterfall
Nothing can harm me at all
My worries seem so very small
With my waterfall
I can see
My rainbow calling me
Through the misty breeze
Of my waterfall

Some people say
Day-dreamings for all the, huh,
Lazy minded fools
With nothin' else to do
So let them laugh, laugh at me
So just as long as I have you
To see me through
I have nothing to lose
'Long as I have you

Waterfall
Don't ever change your ways
Fall with me for a million days

Oh, my waterfall

I DON'T LIVE TODAY
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
But I know for sure
I don't live today
No sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
No-ho sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
I wish you'd hurry up and execute me
So I can be on my miserable way
I don't live today
Maybe tomorrow, I just can't say, but, uh
I don't
live today
Its such a shame to waste your time away like this
Existing

Well, uh-I don't
live today
Maybe tomorrow, I just can't tell you baby, but, uh
Oh, I don't
live today
Its such a shame to spend the time
away like this
existing

Yeah
Ow
Yeah
Oh, no

Yeah
Oh, there ain't no life no where
uh-ha, -hmm,
Down, man
(Are) you experienced?
Get experienced
Get experienced
Uh, get experienced
Uh, get experienced
Are you experienced?

THE WIND CRIES MARY
After all the jacks are in their boxes

and the clowns have all gone to bed

You can hear happiness staggering on down the streetfootsteps dressed in red

And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping

up the broken pieces of yesterdays life

Somewhere a queen is weeping

Somewhere a king has no wife

And the wind, it cries Mary

The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow

and shine their emptiness down on my bed

The tiny island sags down stream

'cause the life that lived is, is dead

And the wind screams Mary

Uh-will the wind ever remember

the names it has blow in the past?

And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom

it whispers no, this will be the last

And the wind cries Mary

FIRE
Alright, now dig this, baby

You don't care for me, I don't a-care about that

Got a new fool, ha, I'd like to laugh at

I have only one burning desire,

let me stand next to your fire

THIRD STONE FROM THE SUN
Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. Over.

I'm in orbit around the third planet from the star called the sun. Over.

You mean its the Earth? Over.

Positive. It is known to have some form of intelligent species. Over.

I think we should take a look.

Strange beautiful grass of green,

with your majestic silver seas

Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer

May I land my kinky machine?

Strange beautiful, grass of green

with your majestic silver seas

Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer

May I land my kinky machine?

Although your world wonders me,

with your majestic and superior cackling hen

Your people I do not understand,

so to you I shall put an end

And you'll

never hear

surf music again

Secret

take hold of my hand

Ohhh, but are you experienced?

Have you ever been experienced?

Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

STONE FREE

If I stay too long people try to pull me down

They talk about me like a dog

Talkin' about the clothes I wear

51ST ANNIVERSARY
For fifty years they’ve been married

They can’t wait for their fifty first

To roll around, yeah, roll around.

For thirty years they’ve been married

And now they’re old and happy

And they settle down, ha ha

Settle down, yeah.

For twenty years they’ve been married

And they did everything that could be done

You know, they have their fun.

And then you come along and talk about it:

“So you, you say you wanna be married,

I’m gonna change your mind.

Oh, gotta change it.”

That was the good side baby

Here comes the best side.

For ten years they’ve been married

A thousand kids went around homeless

‘Cause their Mom was a louse

Daddy’s down at the whisky house.

That ain’t all,

For three years they’ve been married

They don’t get along so good,

They’re tired of each other.

You know how that goes,

She got another lover.

Hah, same old thing.

So now you’re seventeen

You run around hangin’ out

And having your fun

Life for you has just begun baby.

And then you come sayin’:

“So you, you say you wanna be married.

Oh, baby, tryin’ to put me on a chain

Ain’t that some shame?

You must be losin’ your weak little mind.

I ain’t ready to get married,

I ain’t ready.

I’m gonna change your mind.

Ooh, look out baby.

Auh, I ain’t ready to get tied down

I ain’t ready, I ain’t ready now

Let me live a little while longer

Let me live, let me live a little while longer

So I can finish talking,

Let me get back to my groooove . . .

HIGHWAY CHILE
Yeah, his guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his Cadillac

Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind

Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

He left home when he was seventeen

The rest of the world he had longed to see

But everybody knows the Boss

A rolling stone who gathers no moss

But you'd probably call him a tramp

But it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile, yeah

Now some people say he had a girl back home

Who messed around and did him pretty wrong

They tell me it kinda hurt him bad

Kinda made him feel pretty sad

I couldn't say what went through his mind

Anyway, he left the world behind

But everybody knows the same old story,

In love and war you can't lose in glory

Now you'd probably call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on brother, yeah

One more brother

His old guitar slung across his back

His dusty boots is his Cadillac

Flamin' hair just a blowin' in the wind

Ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

Now you may call him a tramp

But I know it goes a little deeper than that

He's a highway chile

Walk on brother

Don't let no one stop you

Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah

Highway chile

Rolling stone

Go on down the highway

Highway chile

Yeah yeah yeah

Highway chile

CAN YOU SEE ME?
Can you see me?

Begging you on my knees

You can see in the future of a thousand years

Can you hear me?

Cryin' all over town

Yeah babe

You can hear a freight train coming from a thousand miles

Can you hear me baby?

Singing this song to you

Can you see me?

Hey hey

You can't see me

REMEMBER
Oh, remember the mocking bird, my baby bun

He used to sing for his supper, baby

Yes he used to sing for his supper, babe

He used to sing so sweet

Since my baby left me he ain't sang for two long days

Oh, remember the blue-birds and the honey bees,

They used to sing for sunshine

They used to sing for the flowers

They used to sing so sweet

But since my baby left me they ain't sang in two long days

Hey pretty baby, come on back to me

Make ev'ry body as happy as can be

So, baby, if you'll please come home again you know

I'll kiss you for my supper,

You know I'll kiss you for my dinner, yeah!

Starve to death

RED HOUSE
There's a red house over yonder,

That's where my baby stays

Lord, there's a red house over yonder

Lord, there's where my baby stays

I ain't been home to see my baby

In ninty nine and one half days

Wait a minute, something's wrong here

The key won't unlock this door

Wait a minute, something's wrong,
lord, have mercy this key won't unlock this door,

something's goin' on here

I have a bad bad feeling

That my baby don't live her no more

Well, I might as well go back over yonder,

Way back up on the hill

That's something to do

Lord, I might as well go back over yonder,

Way back yonder cross the hill

'Cos if my baby don't love me no more...

I know her sister will
