House That Never Was
Got no nails, in the floor
Got no hinges on the door
Empty frames on the walls
Aint no ghost in the halls
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Got no dog, on the stair
Got no car, in the shed
Ain't no number, on the sign
Ain't no bird up on the power line
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Wind dont blow through the trees
No one comes and no one leaves
You can live anywhere
But it don't mean your really there
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Yes the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Come on Closer
Come on closer
I wanna show you
What I'd like to do
You sit back now
Just relax now
I'll take care of you
Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you
Gonna take it slow babe
Do it my way
Keep your eyes on me
Your reaction
To my action
Is what I want to see
Rhythmic motion
Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you
And now you're satisfied
A twinkle in your eye
Go to sleep for ten
And anticipating
I will be waiting
For you to wake again
Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you
(When you wake up we'll
Do it all again)
(When you wake up)
(When you wake up we'll
Do it all again)
(When you wake up)
Hour after hour
Of sweet pleasure
After this I guarantee
You'll never wanna leave
Shut your eyes and think about
What I'm about to do
Sit back relax I'll take my time
This lovin's all for you

The Day Before The Day
Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
Flowers won't be left in parks, work will still be done
People won't be dressed in black, babies will be born
No flags will fly, the sun will rise,
though we will know that you are gone
You who love to love and believed we can never give enough
It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day
Did you stop at any time, have doubts at any stage
Were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done
I've lived my life without regret until today
and You who love to love and believed we can never give enough
I didn't get to say goodbye the day before the day
Was trying to get to work on time, that's why I turned away
And missed the most important thing you've ever tried to say
I've lived my life without regret until today
You who love to love and believed we can never give enough
And you who hoped that underneath we all felt the same
That was until the day before the day

New Soul
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)
See I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
La, la, la, la (21x)
La, la, la, la (21x)
uuuhhh
This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
New soul...
(la, la, la, la,...)
In this very strange world...
(la, la, la, la,...)
Every possible mistake
(la, la, la, la,...)
Possible mistake
(la, la, la, la,...)
Every possible mistake
(la, la, la, la,...)
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
Almost Lover
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no
I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

So Clear
Bert Jansch
D..............A/C#
It was in the rain - y season
Bm.............F#
Waiting for the train
Bm.............E
Leaving in the afternoon
.....C#(sus4)......F#(sus4) F#
All on your own a - gain
E......................Bm7
Do you really under - stand it?
.......E...................Bm7
Can you tell me why it is this way?
....A....D...A...G.........D
Sad lady and her portman - teau
....Bm................Em
With no words left to say
Gmaj7................D
Saving that it's only something
A/C#....Bm.........E
That can happen any day
Toulouse, circus rider
Turn on your childish grin
Shine on through the long black night
Go ride the dawn again
Your eyes are stars that sweetly twinkle
Aureola round your head of flame
Sad story that you cannot tell
Where no-one is to blame
And anyhow it's only something
Sure to come down with the rain
Chorus
D....A.............G
Would I could hear a song so clear
....Dmaj7.............A/C#
The words could touch the air
.....F#m..................Bm7
And catch the moon's re - flection
.......E...............G
In the colour of her hair
...A................G
To ease this ache of loneliness
....Dmaj7............A/C#.Bm....E
And blind the fish - es' stare
Even now I do remember
One thing more that is not told
Just a slightly twisted crystal heart
To keep you from the cold
All up the coast along the highway
Nobody there will know your name
So strange how things should work out now
Yet still remain the same
And even so you know there's nothing
That can ever really change

This is the Life
Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So your heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Coward of the County
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama called him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow,
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
I took care of Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:
"Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun.
Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
There's someone for ev'ryone and Tommy's love was Becky.
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'.
They took turns at Becky.... n' there were three of them!
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'.
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
He reached above the fireplace took down his daddy's picture.
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, I heard these words again:
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man."
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.
One of them got up met him halfway 'cross the floor.
Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'."
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked
the door.
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him.
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all.
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'.
He said, "This one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall.
And I heard him say,
"I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done.
I've walked away from trouble when I can.
Now please don't think I'm weak, I couldn't turn the other cheek,
Papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
You never gave up on me
For all the times you stood by me,
Through right and wrong,
For being there to catch me when I’d fall,
I love you for your faith in me,
For all the joys you've given me,
But there’s one thing makes me love you most of all.
You never gave up on me when I was giving love up on you,
Every time I thought this love can't work
You stayed to see it through.
You never gave up on me when I was making
Things rough on you
And you showed me what it really means to love somebody.
And though sometimes we might not see thing eye to eye,
You've always met me more than half the way,
So for all the times I've let you down
And you could have packed your things and gone,
I love you most of all because you stayed.
And you never gave up on me
When I was given love up on you,
Never mattered who was right or wrong,
You stayed to see it through,
You never gave up on me,
When I was making things rough on you,
And you showed me what it really means to love.
There were times I just knew you,
Did not understand the moods,
All those long and sleepless nights I put us through,
But you stuck by me anyway,
Gave me love everyday
And now there’s nothing,
In this world I wouldn't do for you.
Cause you never gave up on me,
When I was giving love up on you,
Every time I thought this love can't work,
You stayed to see it through,
You never gave up on me when,
I was making things rough on you,
And you showed me what it really means to love.
Cause you never gave up on me,
When I was giving love up on you,
Every time I thought this love can’t work,
You stayed to see it through,
You never gave up on me when I was,
Making things rough on you,
And you showed me what it really means to love

Dream A Little Dream
(F. Andree / W. Schundt / G. Khan )
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading, but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave our worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams - our worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
Sweet dreams
So Beautiful
Pete Murray
Found myself just the other day
In the backyard of a friends place
Thinking about you
Thinking of the crowd you're in,
What you're up to, where you've been,
Just thinking...
You know the clothes that you wear, and the colour in your hair,
Shouldn't change you,
Now you tell me why is it so,
You're bigger than Mighty Joe
At least you think so
God my fingers burned,
Now when I think of touching your hair
You have changed so much that I don't know,
If I can call you, and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down,
Plant your feet back on the ground
Threw my smoke down on the ground
Turned my head and I heard the sound, that reminded me
Of the days so young and sweet,
Always so much fun to me
At least I thought so
Now you think you're so damn fine,
You could rule the world,
No not mine,
I don't think so
God my fingers burned,
Now when I think of touching your hair,
You have changed so much, that I don't know,
If I can call you and tell you I care
You know the scene that you're in,
And the people that you've been with,
Just get to me
But you think I'm not as cool
As you are so beautiful,
Who you foolin?
Well I'm here to tell you babe,
The game you're in, is just a game
So damn pretentious
God my fingers burned,
Now when I think of touching your hair,
You have changed so much that I don't know,
If I can call you, and tell you I care
And I would love to bring you down,
Plant your feet back on the ground
You think you're so beautiful....So beautiful
Lullaby
Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms
And I will close my eyes
Please, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams
You'll be there by my side
(Chorus:)
Love, if you say you won't slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won't rest until
I know that you'll be here in the morning by my side
Here in my reach
I can see the one that I've waited for so long
And deep in my heart I'll know the arms that hold me now
Will hold me from now on
Carry On Till Tomorrow
Band:Badfingers
In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
And I'd leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Beyond the shadows of the clouds and onward to the sky
Carry on till I find the rainbow's end
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Drifting on the wings of freedom, leave this stormy day
And we'll ride to tomorrow's golden fields
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry on
And when the heavy journey's done, I'll rest my weary head
For the world and its colours will be mine
For my life's too short for waiting when I see the setting sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorrow, there's no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on

Wish You Were Here
This song is a melodious one...quite sentimental again and I'm not necessarily feeling blue;)...just linking it for records. again the credit goes to atuo, surprisingly though I really loved Ritchie Blackmore, I'd never heard it before 2003. I had been away from Nagaland for so long and i did miss out the music scene...still I'm struggling to catch up. We have Saturday set aside for recordings and jamming. Hopefully if everything is fine, we should have our brand of music by next year, maybe include paulie's too.
