Love The King Of Emotion - Songlyrics (Seite 2110)

[MissB.Hagen]

Auch eine Art Country (oder eine gelungene Parodie darauf), wunderbar begleitet von Ron Wood an der Steel Pedal Guitar und herrlich schräg gesungen ...

FAR AWAY EYES
Rolling Stones
(Jagger/Richards)

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station
And the preacher said "You know you always have the
Lord by your side"
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honour
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she`d be off
She`d be off with the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin’ in the corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes

So if you`re down on your luck
And you can`t harmonise
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you`re downright disgusted
And life ain`t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they`d say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer with a girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got

So if you`re down on your luck
I know you all sympathise
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you`re downright disgusted
And life ain`t worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

[MissB.Hagen]

"Ihre Kinder" - schon wieder etwas, das ich nur dem Namen nach kenne

So viel Music noch zu erkunden,
ein Zimmer voller Bücher und Stapel auf dem Nachttisch,
kein Flohmarkt, ohne dass ich wieder was heim schleppe,
und dann noch das Internet mit all den grossartigen Infos ...
Muss man sich deshalb auf die Rente freuen
Warum gibt`s bei uns kein Sabbatical?

So much to do
If I only had time, only time
Dreams to persue
If I only had time, only time ...

(Lou Rawls? Text nicht gefunden)

Leider völlig vergessen - zu Unrecht: "Ihre Kinder"... Gerade mal 2 Lyrics findet man auf die Schnelle, und das gesuchte Lied ist natürlich nicht dabei.

Also muss ich mal mein Gedächtnis und die Tastatur bemühen... Weiss nicht, ob`s ganz korrekt und /oder vollständig ist... aber egal:


Mantel im Wind

Ihre Kinder


Ein Mantel im Wind
Ein Märchen
Und Vater kauft nur gutes Gras
Wo ich saß
Bin ich schon lang
Nicht
Mehr

Ein Mantel im Wind
Ein Märchen
Dort fliegen die Schafe aus Glas
In den Wald
Wo sie
Verloren
Gehn

linea für Dich gibt es wohl keine Geschmacksgrenzen

Ich nutze die Gelegenheit, um mit einem passenden Song ein wenig Werbung für meinen Kinks-Thread: Sittin` on my Sofa - Der Kinks-Thread zu machen



The Way Love Used To Be

I know a place not far from here
It`s not far away, love, but if you come
I know a place where we`ll be alone
And we`ll talk of life, the way love used to be

I know a place not far away
And we`ll find a way through the city streets
We`ll find a way through the mad rushing crowd
And we`ll talk about the way love used to be

I know a place not far from here
It`s not far away, love, but if you come
I know a place where we`ll be alone
And we`ll talk about the way love used to be

Hallo Fixbutte

dann brechen wir mal den Zauber...
Janis hätte sicher darüber gelacht



Benny
amigo charly brown

Wo es Mädchen gibt, blond oder schwarz
Da ist er zu haus‘, ja er läßt keine aus
Zwischen Mexiko und Paraguay
Glaubt jedes schöne Mädchen, er ist ihr nur treu
Oh Charly

Hey, hey Amigo Charly
Hey, hey Amigo Charly Brown, Chary Brown
Hey, hey Amigo Charly
Hey, hey Amigo Charly Brown
Dir kann keiner trau’n

Deswegen nehme ich es ihm nicht krumm
Gib ihm den letzten Peso und zieh mit ihm ‘rum
Ja er stiehlt dem Herrn den hellen Tag
Wie ist es dann nur möglich, daß ihn jeder mag?

Und kaum finde ich eine ganz groß
Ist er auch schon da, ja und ich bin sie los
Und am nächsten Tag kommt er und grinst
Und sagt, was ich getan hab war ein Freundschaftsdienst
Oh Charly

Hey, hey Amigo Charly
Hey, hey Amigo Charly Brown, Chary Brown
Hey, hey Amigo Charly
Hey, hey Amigo Charly Brown
Dir kann keiner trau‘n

Wo es Mädchen gibt, blond oder schwarz
Da ist er zu haus‘, ja er läßt keine aus
Zwischen Mexiko und Paraguay
Glaubt jedes schöne Mädchen, er ist ihr nur treu
Oh Charly

Hey, hey Amigo Charly
Hey, hey Amigo Charly Brown, Chary Brown
Hey, hey Amigo Charly
Hey, hey Amigo Charly Brown
Dir kann keiner trau‘n

fixbutte , ganz grosse Klasse
Da bin ich richtig froh, dir das richtige Stichwort gegeben zu haben!

"They laughed me out of town" sagte sie in einem Interview über ihre Mitmenschen in Port Arthur.
"Come on, take another little piece of my heart and break it" (weiss gar nicht, ob wir das schon haben...)

missy

Dann bringen wir sie doch endlich mal
Habe bisher immer zuviel Respekt davor gehabt diese Nummer geht wirklich unter die Haut

Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin` for a train
And I`s feelin` near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin` soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin` time
I was holdin` Bobby`s hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew

Freedom`s just another word for nothin` left to lose
Nothin`, don`t mean nothin` hon` if it ain`t free, no no
And, feelin` good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin` good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the Kentucky coal mine
To the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
He`s lookin` for that home, and I hope he finds it
But, I`d trade all of my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
To be holdin` Bobby`s body next to mine

Freedom`s just another word for nothin` left to lose
Nothin`, that`s all that Bobby left me, yeah
But, feelin` good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Hey, feelin` good was good enough for me, mm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

La da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da Bobby McGee, yeah
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da Bobby McGee, yeah

La da La la da da la da da la da da
La da da da da da da da da
Hey,my Bobby, oh, my Bobby McGee, yeah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Hey, my Bobby, oh, my Bobby McGee, yeah

Well, I call him my lover
call him my man
I said I call him my lover did the best I can, c`mon
Hey now Bobby now
hey now Bobby McGee, yeah

wooooooo
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la
Hey, hey, hey Bobby McGee, yeah

(4 bars Instrumental)

la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, yeah




"Me And Bobby McGee"
Janis Joplin
Columbia 45314
March 1971 • Billboard: #1

She was a bawdy, hard-drinking Texas mama who swore like the boys and savaged her white vocal chords to sing the blues. When friends suggested her health could not withstand her rowdy lifestyle, she replied, "Maybe I won`t last as long as other singers, but I think you can destroy your now worrying about tomorrow." Janis Joplin will never have to worry about tomorrow. She was found dead in her room at the Landmark Motel in Hollywood on the evening of October 4, 1970, a victim of a heroin overdose.

She hadn`t completed recording her Pearl album when she died. Released in January, 1971, it yielded the second posthumous number one single of the rock era (Otis Redding`s "[Sittin` On] The Dock of the Bay" being the first). "Me and Bobby McGee" was written by actor, singer, Rhodes scholar and songwriter Kris Kristofferson, who tagged along with his freind Bobby Neuwirth to what Myra Friedman, in her Joplin biography Buried Alive, calls "the great Tequila bash" in the spring of 1970. Kristofferson stayed to become Janis` beau for a short time and left behind his song for his feather-boaed girlfriend.

Janis Joplin was born January 19, 1943, in the conservative oil refinery town of Port Arthur, Texas. "I was a sensitive child," she revealed in David Dalton`s biography, Janis. "I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it`s hard when you`re a kid to be different, you`re full of things and you don`t know what it`s about."

In addition to her posthumous #1 hit "Me and Bobby McGee," Janis Joplin`s Pearl featured "Buried Alive in the Blues," a track missing the vocals Joplin didn`t live to complete. Pearl first charted on Jan. 30, 1971, was the #1 album in America for nine weeks, and spent a total of 42 weeks on the chart.

To Rolling Stone she elaborated: "I was always outrageous. I got treated very badly in Texas. They don`t treat beatniks too good in Texas." Her earliest artistic interests were painting and poetry, but those were quickly abandoned when a friend introduced her to jazz at 17 and she sent away for some Leadbelly and Odetta records. Her stay at college, where she learned to be a keypunch operator, was brief. Her refusal to bend to the middle-American norm sent her running off to the West Coast where she finally landed in a Haight-Ashbury rehearsal pad, right in the center of the 1966 San Francisco hippie culture. Unhappy in California, she went to Austin, Texas, and sang with a country and western outfit.

Back in San Francisco, the house band at the Avalon Ballroom was looking for a female singer. A friend of the group remembered Joplin and contacted her in Texas. She returned to California in June, 1966, to join Big Brother and the Holding Company.

An album on Mainstream, highlighted by the single "Down on Me," brought the group some attention, but it was their explosive performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 that cemented their national reputation. Signed to Columbia Records, they released the Cheap Thrills album and a single, "Piece of My Heart," that went to number 12 in the autumn of 1968. Before the year was over, Joplin exited the band along with guitarist Sam Andrew. Her first solo album, I Got Dem Ol` Kozmic Blues Again Mama! was released in September, 1969. A brief semi-retirement followed, then Janis put together the Full Tilt Boggie Band to work on the album that would become Pearl, Janis` nickname.

Her death in October, 1970, was the second loss for the music world in a three-week period. On September 18, Jimi Hendrix died of an accidental overdose in London. Joplin and Hendrix were both just 27 when they died. Both left behind musical legacies that will survive the changing trends of pop music. Janis` live performances have been captured on film for those who missed the real thing; both the Monterey Pop documentary and the Janis biopic are cinematic proof of her raw talent.

fixbutte da hast du dir heute ja zwei Romantik-Hämmer vorgenommen, die gerade wieder gecovert wurden.

Ich mag natürlich die Originalversionen am liebsten, aber von „You’ve Lost That Lovin‘ Feelin“ gibt es eine Version von Isaac Hayes auf „To Be Continued“ , die zusammen mit seinem Monolog „Ike’s Mood“ ungefähr 20 Minuten dauert und so intensiv ist, dass sie mit Vorsicht genossen werden sollte. Auch seine LP „Hot Buttered Soul“, unter anderem mit einer 12-minütigen Version von „Walk On By“ und die Doppel-LP „Black Moses“ sind Lovemaking Music pur. Gegen „Your Love Is So Doggone Good“ (auch wieder länger als 10 Minuten) wirkt Barry White wie ein klebriger Kuschelrocker. Am bekanntesten ist wohl „ Shaft“, der Soundtrack zum Film, mit funky, smooth jazz und easy listening Nummern (die mir persönlich aber weniger gefallen).

Weil ich kürzlich bei Iguana gelesen haben, dass er County Music nicht mag, möchte ich doch einmal Kris Kristofferson und Willie Nelson herausstellen, die zeitlos schöne Country Songs geschrieben haben, die auch von Soulsängern wie Tina Turner und Isaac Hayes oder Tex-Mex Sängern wie Freddie Fender gesungen werden und immer wieder neu und überraschend klingen (um nur ein paar zu nennen, wobei Janis Joplin mit „Me And Bobby McGee von KK ein besonderer Glücksfall ist).

Bevor Isaac Hayes als Sänger erfolgreich war, hat er komponiert, unter anderem für Sam & Dave und Otis Reddig. Auf „Black Moses“ singt er einen besonders schönen Country Song, und zwar

For The Good Times:
Written by Kris Kristofferson



Don`t look so sad, I know it`s over.
But life goes on, and this old world will keep on turning.
Let`s just be glad we had some time to spend together.
There`s no need to watch the bridges that we`re burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin` soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.

I`ll get along; you`ll find another,
And I`ll be here if you should find you ever need me.
Don`t say a word about tomorrow or forever,
There`ll be time enough for sadness when you leave me.

Lay your head upon my pillow.
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops,
Blowin` soft against the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times.
