Summer Breeze [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Summer Breeze Written by Jim Seals & Dash Crofts Lead Vocals by Jack Blades See the curtains hangin' in the window In the evening on a Friday night A little light a-shinin' through the window Lets me know everything's all right Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' though the jasmine in my mind See the paper layin' on the sidewalk A little music from the house next door So I walk on up to the doorstep Through the screen and across the floor Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Summer breeze makes me feel fine Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom July is dressed up and playing her tune And I come home from a hard day's work And you're waitin' there Not a care in the world See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen Through cookin' and the plates for two Feel the arms that reach o...

I Am a Rock [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

  I Am a Rock Written by Paul Simon Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw A winter's day In a deep and dark December I am alone Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow I am a rock I am an island I've built walls A fortress deep and mighty That none may penetrate I have no need of friendship friendship causes pains It's laughter and it's loving I disdain I am a rock I am an island Don't talk of love Well I've heard the word before It's sleeping in my memory I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died If I never loved I never would have cried I am a rock I am an island I have my books And my poetry to protect me I am shielded in my armor Hiding in my room safe within my womb I touch no one and no one touches me I am a rock I am an island And a rock feels no pain And an island never cries

  Lucky Man Written by Greg Lake Lead Vocals by Jack Blades He had white horses And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was laid Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was

The Sound of Silence [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Image
  The Sound of Silence Written by Paul Simon Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light, I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never shared And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And th...

(if I was in L.A.) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees) And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray) You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold) He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay) California dreamin' (California dreamin') On such a winter's day All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown) And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray) I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk) On a winter's day (on a winter's day) If I didn't ...

For What It's Worth Written by Stephen Stills Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down? There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong Young people speaking' their minds Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down? What a field day for the heat A thousand people in the street Singing songs and carrying signs Mostly saying, "hooray for our side" It's time we stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look - what's going down? Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step out of line, the man come and take you away We better stop Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look...

My Hallucination [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

My Hallucination Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Manson lived, Lennon died You don't know the reason why I'm crying Thirty years enough time for me Tell me who shot Kennedy I'm dying Long tall Sally She comes and goes Got diamond rings All through her nose Is that all we were fighting for? Somewhere in my hallucination I thought we were giving peace a chance But what's a revolution When the music plays And no one wants to dance We paid the price in Vietnam While crosses burned in Birmingham I'm sighing In Memphis now the church bells ring While L.A. crowns a different king Can't we all get along Hi-ho silver Don't you know I just got faxed from Tokyo Is that what we're still fighting for? Somewhere in my hallucination I thought we were giving peace a chance But what's a revolution When the music plays And no one wants to dance Fat chance Going insane with the fun you've had Who's to blame when it all goes ba...

Come To Be My Friend Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades I don't know what happened I only know what she wants me to see I don't know how I got here I only know just what she burns inside of me There's no use in pretending As she rises from the ashes and then Writes a new happy ending Riding off into the sunset again How can I lay me down to sleep When a part of me is incomplete Whoa oh Guide me safely through the night Everything gonna be all right Oh yeah Now here we are Have you come to be my friend What pretty pictures You have dancing in my head Take what's been given Forget what has been said Now here we are Have you come to be Come to be my friend It all happened so easy She just loved to let me Lick all the spoons I even thought I was crazy She just laughed and kept on Kissing my wounds Now all the king's horses Little green men Can't figure out how to Put me together again Whoa oh Cracks in the window Holes in my soul How ...

Don't Talk To Me Anymore [Shaw/Blades featuring Tommy Shaw]

Don't Talk To Me Anymore Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw When I look at what's been going on I have to laugh to keep from crying When I think of how it used to be And how so much has changed I never thought to look down that road To see the distance in your eyes And now to think of all that might have been I don't know who to blame At last to sleep, to dream Escape the world that might have been Enough to face the sun again To feel the love shine through the rain Don't talk to me anymore Don't talk to me oh no no no If I ever get over you If my memory starts to fade away Don't be sorry and don't feel sad That's just the way it should be A lesson learned is a penny earned Thank the banker for keeping count of Keep these treasures buried deep in the ground Saved for the bridges we burned A chance to live again To breathe the air, let freedom in To face the world a different man Be who I might have never been Don't talk...

I Stumble In Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades There you were with your umbrella Standing in the pouring rain Lining up for a night of expectation He held you close And you danced together Late into the night it seemed As good as you could have ever imagined But it's all the same You wake up empty again Well you know where there's A shoulder you can lean on I stumble in And I can't help myself from falling I stumble in and I can't help myself no more I can't begin to tell you Everything I'm thinkin' Sometimes I'd rather Just not think at all Yes I know What you've been missing Yes I know I understand That you need every breath I will be your destination I'm your ticket home, my friend Feel that train arrivin' At your station When it's all the same You come up empty again Well you know where there's A shoulder you can dream on I stumble in And I can't help myself from falling I stumble in and I can...

Blue Continental Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Everybody needs a place to ramble Everybody needs a place to hide In my blue Continental I got mine Headed down the coast from Newport Thought it was time for a change In my blue Continental In the rain If you see me in the morning Don't ask me why That road goes on forever By and by No, she's never temperamental She's so smooth and she's so gentle In my blue Continental I can fly

Down That Highway Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Jack Blades Little baby crying for attention let me tell you I could use some too A little late for an ounce of prevention Better think of something else to do What happened to the days of summer They came and they went too fast Should have known it wouldn't last forever Now it's all just part of the past Memories, down that highway Whoa yesterday Sittin' in with the boys and a six-string Singin' every Beatles song we knew Gettin' lucky with a girl at the drive-in Keep me happy for a month or two School year dragged by so slowly Seemed like it wouldn't ever end Summer flew by out of control and Left me here again with the memories Down that highway Whoa yesterday Now Jimmy got lost somewhere in L.A.

How You Gonna Get Used To This Written by Tommy Shaw & Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw She was a Catholic girl from a northern town She'd tell you no just to see you crawl Plastic Jesus on the dash of her car Got the feeling that I wouldn't get far with Hank Junior blastin' on the radio Now it's too late, cross the wire We were gonna set the world on fire Now it looks as though you're on your own again How you gonna get used to this How you ever gonna learn to make the change  Sittin' alone on the carpet of your living room The kids are asleep, and he's drunk again Now and then, in the back of your mind Get the feeling you've been left behind when it's Me you're hearing blastin' on the radio How you gonna get used to this How you ever gonna learn To make the change How you gonna go through with this How you ever gonna Make it back again How you gonna get used to this How you ever gonna learn To make the change How you gonna go throu...
