"Shakedown Street" lyrics
"Shakedown Street"
You tell me this town ain't got no heart. Well, well, well, you can never tell
The sunny side of the street is dark. Well, well, well, you can never tell
Maybe that's 'cause it's midnight, in the dark of the moon besides
Maybe the dark is from your eyes. Maybe the dark is from your eyes
Maybe the dark is from your eyes. Maybe the dark is from your eyes
Maybe the dark is from your eyes. Maybe the dark is from your eyes
You know you got such dark eyes!
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street. Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around
You think you've seen this town clear through
Well, well, well, you can never tell
Nothin' here that could int'rest you. Well, well, well, you can never tell
It's not because you missed out on the thing that we had to start
Maybe you had too much too fast. Maybe you had too much too fast
Maybe you had too much too fast. Maybe you had too much too fast
Maybe you had too much too fast. Maybe you had too much too fast
Or just over played your part
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street. Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around
Since I'm passing your way today. Well, well, well, you can never tell
I just stopped in 'cause I want to say. Well, well, well, you can never tell
I recall your darkness when it crackled like a thundercloud
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart
When I can hear it beat out loud!
Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street. Used to be the heart of town
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around

Blind Melon - "No Rain" All I can say
Is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do
Is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane,
It's not sane
I...
Ween - "Ocean Man" Ocean man, take me by the hand, lead me to the land
That you understand
Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe
Is a real trip
Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand
Soaking...
Ten Years After - "I'd Love To Change The World" Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor, 'til there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world - but I don't know what to do
So...
Cream - "White Room" In a white room, with black curtains, near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses, ran down moonbeams, in your dark eyes
Dawn light smiles, on you leaving,...
Talking Heads - "Take Me To The River" I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know, can you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Take me...
