Are You Ready?

Pacific Gas & Electric


Theres rumors of war. Men dying and women crying
If you breathe air, youll die. Perhaps you wonder the
reason why
But wait! Dont you worry. A new day is dawning
Well catch the sun, and away well fly...
Are you ready to sit by His throne? Are you ready not to be
alone?
Someones coming to take you home
And if youre ready, then Hell carry you home
(Are you ready?) (2X)
People say that He wont come. And I dont know what say
you
But if He should, would you be the one?
Ive got a little question Id like to ask you
Are you ready to sit by His throne? Are you ready not to be
alone?
Someones coming to take you home
And if youre ready, then Hell carry you home
(Are you ready?) (2X)
Brothers and sisters, I have many. Stumbling along to do
their thing
Love is a song, its better than any. Its better for music, it
s easy to sing
Are you ready to sit by His throne? Are you ready not to be
alone?
Someones coming to take you home
And if youre ready, then Hell carry you home
Repeat key
(Yes, Im ready) Are you ready? (Yes, Im ready) (x2)
Ive got to know, yeah (Yes, Im ready)
You sound real good (Yes, Im ready)
Are you ready? (Yes, Im ready)

Gonna be sunshine again (Yes, Im ready)


And the flowers growing (Yes, Im ready)
Children playing (Yes, Im ready) Gonna be all right (Yes, I
m ready)
Youve got to be ready (Yes, Im ready)
I know youre ready (Yes, Im ready)
Say it loud one more time (Yes, yes, Im ready)
Oh, yeah (Yes, yes, Im ready)

Epitaph
King Crimson

The wall on which the prophets wrote


Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.
Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the dees of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.
Confusion will be may epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow Ill be crying
But I fear tomorrow Ill be crying.

The Court Of The Crimson King


King Crimson
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun.
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournaments begun.
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullbies in an ancient tongue,
For the court of the Crimson King.
The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams.
I wait outside the pilgrims door
With insufficient schemes.
The black queen chants
The funeral march,
The cracked brass bells will ring;
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the Crimson King.
The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower.
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour.
The pattern juggler lifts his hand;
The orchestra begin.
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the cour of the Crimson King.
On soft grey morning widows cry,
The wise men share a joke;
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax.
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the Crimson King.

Born to be wild
Steppenwolf
Get your motor running
ead out on the highway
Lookin for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Here and god are gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that that Im under
Here and god are gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
Like a true natures child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild
Here and god are gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space
Like a true natures child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die
Born to be wild

Superstition
Stevie Wonder
Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you dont understand
Then you suffer
Superstition aint the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin strong
You dont wanna save me, sad is my song
When you believe in things that you dont understand
Then you suffer
Superstition aint the way, yeh, yeh
Very superstitious, nothin more to say
Very superstitious, the devils on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
When you believe in things that you dont understand
Then you suffer
Superstition aint the way, no, no, no

Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) (The


Hollies)
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her headin' to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
Had it all

Devil Woman
Cliff Richard
Ive had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came here to you, sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell shed cast.
*Chorus
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
Shes gonna get you from behind.
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines of your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadnt planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I came there for.
(Repeat chorus)
Stay awake
Look out
If youre out on a moonlit night
Be careful of the neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
Youd better get out of there fast
Shes just a devil woman
With evil on her mind

Beware the devil woman


Shes gonna get you.

Brother Louie
Stories
She was black as the night; Louie was whiter than white,
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar,
Louie fell in love overnight. Nothing bad, it was good,
Louie had the best girl he could.
When she took him home To meet her mama and papa;
Louie knew just where he stood.
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie Lou I
Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie youre gonna cry.
There he stood in the night
Knowing whats wrong from whats right.
He took her home to meet his mama and papa,
Man, he had a terrible fright. Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin it was a dream.
Aint no diffrence between black and white,
Brothers, you know what I mean.

Touch Of Grey
Grateful Dead
Must be getting early clocks are running lateFaint light of
the
morning sky looks so phonyDawn is breaking everywhere
light a candle
curse the glare
Draw the curtains I dont care cuz its alright
I will get by I will get by
I will get by I will survive
I see youve got your fist out say your piece and get out
Yes I get the gist of it but its alright
Sorry that you feel that way the only there is to say
Every silver linings got a touch of grey
I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive
Its a lesson to me the eagles and the beggars and the seas
The ABCs we all must face try to keep a little grace
Its a lesson to me the deltas and the east and the freeze
The ABCs we all think of and try to win a little love
I know the rent is in arrears the dog has not been fed in
years
Its even worse than it appears but its alright
Cows giving kerosene kid cant read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene but its alright
I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive
The shoe is on the hand that fits theres really nothing
much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit cuz its alright

11

Oh well a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway


And that was all I had to say and its alright
I will get by I will get by I will get by I will survive
We will get by we will get by we will get by we will survive
We will get by we will get by we will get by we will survive

Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with
my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't
find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be
blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late

Love Is Like Oxygen


Sweet

Love is like oxygen


You get too much you get too high
Not enough and youre gonna die
Love gets you high
Time on my side
I got it all
Ive heard that pride
Always comes before a fall
Theres a rumour goin round the town
That you dont want me around
I cant shake off my city blues
Every way I turn I lose
Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and youre gonna die
Love gets you high
Time is no healer
If youre not there
Lonely fever
Sad words in the air

16

Some things are better left unsaid


Im gonna spend my days in bed
Ill walk the streets at night
To be hidden by the city lights, city lights

Dream Lady
Bread
(James Griffin and Robb Royer)
I see her walking in the velvet moonlight
But then she hides behind the clock of midnight
And as I look to see her face
She disappears without a trace...
Sometimes I find myself in endless wandering
When I awaken in the misty morning
And I must look to find my way
As I await the end of day.
Dream Lady... Dream Lady...
And I await the end of day
Till nighttime comes again to stay
Dream lady... Dream Lady... Dream Lady...

Rock Lobster
B 52S
Rock Lobster - B52's We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobster
Motion in the ocean, His air hose broke
Lots of trouble, Lots of bubble
He was in a jam, S'in a giant clam
Down, down
Underneath the waves, Mermaids wavin',
Wavin' to mermen, Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin', Dolphins wailin',
Red snappers snappin', Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin' , Flippers flippin'
Down, down
Let's rock!

18

Boy's in bikinis, Girls in surfboards


Everybody's rockin', Everybody's fruggin'
Twistin' 'round the fire, Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes, Bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dogfish Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhale
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!

Bus stop
The Hollies
Bus stop, wet day, shes there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine
[Chorus :]
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes shed shopped and she would show me what
she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
Thats the way the whole thing started
Silly but its true
Thinkin of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue
Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
20

Nice to think that that umbrella


Led me to a vow
[Chorus]
Bus stop, wet day, shes there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Summer In The City


The Lovin Spoonful
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isnt it a pity
Doesnt seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night its a different world. Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat itll be alright
And babe, dont you know its a pity
That the days cant be like the nights
In the summer, in the city. In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty. Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till Im wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night its a different world. Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night. Despite the heat itll be alright
And babe, dont you know its a pity. That the days cant be like the
nights
In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city
------ instrumental break -----Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
23

Been down, isnt it a pity


Doesnt seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night its a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat itll be alright
And babe, dont you know its a pity
That the days cant be like the nights
In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city

Love hurts
Nazaret
Love hurts love scars love wounds and marks
any heart not tough nor strong enough
to take a lot of pain take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.
Love Hurts uh - uh Love Hurts.
I'm young I know but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot
Love Hurts Uh - Uh Love hurts.
Some fools rave of happiness blissfullness togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess, but they're not fooling
me
I know it isn't true, no it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts Uh - uh love hurts.

Heart Of Gold
Neil Young
I want to live, I want to give
Ive been a miner for a heart of gold
Its these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And Im getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And Im getting old
Ive been to Hollywood, Ive been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
Ive been in my mind, its such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And Im getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And Im getting old
Keep me searching for a heart of gold
You keep me searching for a heart of gold
And Im getting old
Ive been a miner for a heart of gold

Hurdy Gurdy Man


Donovan
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity.
Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity.
Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy
gurdy.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Here comes the roly poly man and hes singing songs of

Sunshine Superman
Donovan
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Couldve tripped out easy a-but Ive a-changed my ways
Itll take time, I know it but in a while
Youre gonna be mine, I know it, well do it in style
Cause I made my mind up youre going to be mine
Ill tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybodys hustlin just to have a little scene
When I say well be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When youve made your mind up forever to be mine
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Ill pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
Cause I made my mind up youre going to be mine
Ill tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Superman or Green Lantern aint got a-nothin on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea,
yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet
throne
bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When youve made your mind up forever to be mine
Ill pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When youve made your mind up forever to be mine

Ill pick up your hand

Fine fine, fine fine Acelandine be prepared for her.


Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned.
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle.
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star.
Multi colour run down over your body,
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot truth is molten.
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked.
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang:

Go Down Gamblin
Blood Sweat And Tears
Born a natural loser -- cant recall just where
Raised on brew and poker and a dollar here and there
Blackjack hand, dealer man, you better pay off that last bet
Two-bit hand, a 21 is all I ever get
Go down gamblin, say it when youre runnin low
Go down gamblin -- you may never have to go
Down in a crap game, Ive been losin at roulette
Cards are bound to break me, but I aint busted yet
Cause Ive been called a natural lover by that lady over
there
Honey, Im just a natural gambler but I try to do my share

And When I Die


Blood Sweat And Tears
Im not scared of dying, And I dont really care.
If its peace you find in dying, Well then let the time be
near.
If its peace you find in dying, And if dying time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin Cause its cold way down there.
I hear that its cold way down their. Yeah, crazy cold way
down their.
Chorus:
And when I die, and when Im gone, Therell be one child
born
In this world to carry on, to carry on.
Now troubles are many, theyre as deep as a well.
I can swear there aint no heaven but I pray there aint no
hell.
Swear there aint no heaven and I pray there aint no hell,
But Ill never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Yes only my dying will tell.
Yeah, only my dying will tell.
Chorus
Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.
Oh I want to go naturally.

Here I go, Hey Hey!


Here comes the devil, Right Behind.
Look out children, Here he comes!
Here he comes! Hey...
Dont want to go by the devil. Dont want to go by demon.
Dont want to go by Satan, Dont want to die uneasy.
Just let me go naturally.
and when I die, When Im dead, dead and gone,
Therell be one child born in our world to carry on,
To carry on. Yeah, yeah...

Spinning Wheel
Blood, Sweat & Tears
(D. Clayton-Thomas)

What goes up must come down [cowbell enters]


Spinnin wheel got to go round [full drum kit enters]
Talkin bout your troubles its a cryin sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin wheel all alone
Talkin bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin wheel, spinnin true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
[1: Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride]
[2: Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly]

Lisa, Listen To Me
Blood, Sweat & Tears
Once a girl I knew, all alone and unprepared.
Everyone she knew, runnin scared.
Then she found him or maybe he found her.
His were gentle words she had never heard before.
He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Dont you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...
Youve been silent for too long."
Once another man took her on a younger day,
All a young girl can do is pray.
Then she found him or maybe he found her.
His were gentle words she had never heard before.
She had never heard before.
He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Dont you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...
Youve been silent for too long."
He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Dont you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me...
Youve been silent for too long."
Then she found him or maybe he found her.
His were gentle words she had never heard before.
She had never heard before.

Blood, Sweat And Tears
Lucretia Mac Evil, little girl, whats your game?
Hard luck and trouble, bound to be your claim to fame
Tail shakin, home breakin truckin through town
Each and every country mothers son hangin round
Drive a young man insane Evil, thats your name
Lucretia Mac Evil, thats the thing youre doin fine
Back seat Delilah, thats your sixth big jug of wine
I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin that your daddy wouldnt do for kicks
Never done a thing worthwhile, evil woman child
Devil got you, Lucy under lock and key
Aint about to set you free
Signed, sealed and witnessed on the day you were born
No use trying to fake him out, no use trying to make him
out
Soon hell be taking out his doom
What you gonna do Lucretia Mac Evil
Honey, where you been all night?
You hairs all messed up baby
N the clothes your wearin just dont fit you right
Big Daddy Joes paying your monthly rent
Tells his wife he cant imagine where the moneys went
Dressing you up in style, evil woman child
Oh Lucy youre just so damn bad

Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers)


Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh,
wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.
Rep. Whoa! My love, my darling,

When A Man Loves A Woman


(Percy Sledge - Michel Bolton)
When a man loves a woman,
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found
If she's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman,
Spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way it ought to be
Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman,
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes don't ever see
Well, this man loves a woman
I gave you everything I had
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels

'Cause baby baby baby you're my world

Lemon Tree
Peter Paul And Mary
Will Holt
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
"Come here and take a lesson from the lovely lemon tree."
"Dont put your faith in love, my boy," my father said to
me,
"I fear youll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree."
Chorus:
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
One day beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie,
A girl so sweet that when she smiled, the stars rose in the
sky.
We passed that summer lost in love, beneath the lemon
tree,
The music of her laughter hid my fathers words from me.
Chorus
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun.
And in the dark she left behind, I knew what she had done.
She left me for another, its a common tale but true,
A sadder man, but wiser now, I sing these words to you.
Chorus
