"House Of Cards" lyrics
"House Of Cards"
(originally by Richard & Linda Thompson)
Oh, the rain is falling
And the wild wind roars
It'll shake your windows
And it will rattle your doors
Oh, blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
They're washing the streets (blow blow down)
With the blood of your kind (blow blow down)
Ah, just look over your shoulder (blow blow down)
They are right behind (blow blow down)
Oh, blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
And the birds are wheeling
Up above your head
And your days are numbered
And you're as good as dead
This is a very fine house
Of great renown
But it's cracked and it's shaking
Oh, it comes tumbling, tumbling, tumbling down
Oh, blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
Blow down this house of cards
Oh, blow down this house of cards
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Free - "My Brother Jake" My brother Jake,
Hat, shades,
Head in a daze.
My brother Jake,
Have you though about
Changin' your ways?
He goes out
He don't have no doubt
He don't have to know
What the world's about.
My brother...
Pete Townshend - "Secondhand Love" Don't bring me secondhand love
Don't bring me secondhand love
Now you went out tonight
Who've you been hanging around this time?

Little Feat - "Roll Um Easy" Oh I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue
And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with Kings and Queens
But darlin', oh darlin'
You're the best...
Gov't Mule - "Soulshine" When you can't find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
And you feel like you've lost you're way
When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away...
