Lyrics - End of the Beginning
|
Before This Feeling's Gone
Music by Freebo
Lyrics by Rocky Burnette & Freebo
Poppabo Music (BMI), Rocky Burnett Publishing (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
Heaven and Earth, stars fill the sky
We're running out of time,
And it's just you and I
Way beyond the moon, somewhere in the Night
There's a feeling all around
And I see it in your eyes
Chorus:
Now that you found me,
Please don't lead me on
Put your arms around me,
And keep on holdin' on
Lay down beside me
Before this feeling's gone
2nd verse:
Shadow's in the light, nothin's what it seems
Painted black and white, in my Watercolor dreams
There's a spirit inside me,
There's a message on your lips
And I feel your body movin',
Just beyond my fingertips
Repeat Chorus
3rd verse:
There's a cold driving rain
You're my shelter from the storm
And I'm frightened like a child,
But you keep me safe and warm
Repeat Chorus

You Don't Have To Live This Way
Music & Lyrics by Freebo
Poppabo Music (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
You come back dead and dirty
From the war outside your home.
And you wonder why your destiny
Has left you all alone.
You dignify your suffering,
But deep inside you know,
You don't have to live this way.
2nd verse:
You come off tough and callus,
Like you don't give a damn,
Like you got some kind of blueprint
For your castles in the sand.
But everything you build
Keeps slipping through your hand.
Bridge:
You don't have to hang on
To all you've been through.
You don't have to lay down
And die like you do.
If you want to move on,
You can't hide.
You might have to go way down
And find it inside.
You don't have to live this way.
You don't have to live this way.
3rd verse:
Now you wake up with a longing,
Feeling like you care.
That maybe, just today,
Your life's a still unanswered prayer.
When you think back to your childhood dreams...
Well child, you're almost there.
You don't have to live this way...etc.

Trouble
Music and lyrics by Freebo
Bassline Music (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
With a rush of Emotion
On a deep blue sea
And an ocean all around me.
I woke up in a dream,
And I was wondering
Just how Trouble looked around
And how it found me,
Just how trouble looked around,
And how it found me.
2nd verse:
I was minding my business.
I was being so good.
I was doing all the things I should.
When I happened to notice,
Right in front of me,
That the Trouble all around
Had somehow found me.
And there suddenly was Trouble
All around me.
3rd verse:
So I looked up at Trouble
And I stared it down
'Cause I knew I could not run away.
And I knew if I showed it
I could give it a fight,
That the Trouble all around
Would soon respect me,
And the Spirit all around
Would soon protect me.
4th verse:
And as I stood my ground,
Trouble was backin' down,
'Cause I showed it I could make a stand.
And the more I believed it,
Well, the more it came true
That the Trouble all around
Was not worth fearin',
And the Trouble all around was disappearin'.
5th verse:
Make a peace with your maker.
Make a peace with yourself.
Make a promise you can always keep.
Keep your faith,
Keep your cool,
Keep you dignity.
And the Trouble all around
Will never mind you.
And the Trouble all around
Will never find you.
Well, there's Trouble all around me,
Trouble all around you.
Trouble all around me,
Trouble all around you.
Keep your faith,
Keep your cool,
Keep your dignity.
Trouble all around me,
Trouble all around you...

Yogi
Music and lyrics by Freebo
Bassline Music (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
As I was walkin' along
That Proverbial Road,
Thinkin' about
My Proverbial Load,
I happened upon
A Vagabond man
On the way.
2nd verse:
He said, "You'd better be careful,
You better come clean,
Or something's gonna get you,
If you know what I mean."
I told him I didn't,
And I asked him, "Do I have to pay?"
3rd verse:
He said, "Your head's hangin down,
And you're wearin' a frown,
And that look in your eye
Says you ain't got a prayer."
Well, I said, "It's lookin' grim,
And the chance is mighty slim to me."
Bridge:
He said, "Yogi, Yogi could see,
He said, "It's just as simple as can be."
Chorus:
He said, "It ain't over 'til it's over"
You ain't finished until you're through.
Keep on keepin' on and baby,
You might be a winner too.
It don't matter how you get there,
It's where you wind up that counts.
Just when you're about to lose it,
You might get that lucky bounce.
You might get that lucky bounce.
4th verse:
So as you're walking along
Your Evolutionary Road,
Thinking about
Your Evolutuionary Load,
And you happen upon
A vagabond man
On the way,
Well, you'll hold your head high.
And you'll look him in the eye.
And he'll know right away
That you ain't no jive.
And you'll be singin' along
To Yogi's song
As you "high - five."
Bridge:
You'll be singin' Yogi, Yogi could see.
He said 'It's just as simple as can be.'

How Do I Say Goodbye
Music by Freebo
Lyrics by Bradley Mart and Freebo
Poppabo Music (BMI) © 1999
1st Verse:
It will never be again, you know,
The time I shared with her,
The time I cared for her,
And the time she cared for me.
The time is gone forever,
My severed soul now bleeds,
Our oneness now recedes.
And in the lonely hour of a lonely heart,
I dare to contemplate
The mystery of my fate.
Chorus:
Why are moments lost forever?
Where are the graves of dreams that die?
What comes of a love that mourns a lover?
How do I say goodbye?
How do I say goodbye?
Goodbye baby, goodbye baby, goodbye
baby, goodbye...
2nd verse:
Now the surging tides of love have ceased.
I hear the empty roar
Of a wave that breaks no more,
And my heart's a lonely shore.
How do I surrender
These broken dreams I Know?
Well I close my eyes
'Cause the Freedom lies
In the dream I leave behind,
Another love to find.
Chorus:
Why are moments lost forever?
Where are the graves of dreams that die?
What comes of a love that mourns a lover?
How do I say goodbye?
Chorus:
Why are moments lost forever?
Where are the graves of dreams that die?
What comes of a love that mourns a lover?
How do I say goodbye?
How do I say goodbye?
Goodbye baby, goodbye baby, goodbye
baby, goodbye...
How do I say goodbye?
Goodbye baby, goodbye baby, goodbye
baby, goodbye...
How do I say .. |

Sometimes It's For Nothing
Music and lyrics by Freebo and Robert Tepper
Bassline Music (BMI), Heavy Breather (ASCAP)
© 1999
1st verse:
Lucy likes potatoes,
Billy likes his beer.
Johnny drives a hot rod
So he can get on outta here.
Daddy's at the factory,
Overtime again.
Mama's clippin' coupons
(In)'Stead of shoppin with her friends.

Well, sometimes it's for nothin'.
Sometimes it's for real.
Sometimes you just know
Exactly how you feel,
And I feel good (I feel good),
I feel good (I feel good).
2nd verse:
Just like in the Bible,
Trouble comes along.
Things start gettin' outta hand,
And you can't tell the right from wrong.
Sampson and Delilah,
Cane and Abel, too.
Everybody's got to do
Just what they've got to do.
Chorus:
Well, sometimes it's for nothin'.
Sometimes it's for real.
Sometimes you just know
Exactly how you feel.
And I feel good (I feel good),
I feel good (I feel good).
3rd verse:
Last night I saw a movie,
Where the hero gets the girl.
I was sittin' with my popcorn,
I was in a another world.
Maybe I'm a dreamer,
But this I truly swear.
I saw the hero disappear,
And it was me up there.
Chorus:
Well, sometimes it's for nothin'.
Sometimes it's for real.
Sometimes you just know
Exactly how you feel.
And I feel good (I feel good),
I feel good (I feel good).
Well, Sometimes it's for nothin'.
Sometimes it's for real.
Sometimes you just know
Exactly how you feel.
And I feel good (I feel good),
I feel good (I feel good),
I feel good (I feel good),
Yeah, I feel good (I feel good)... |
Looking Glass
Music and lyrics by Freebo and Robert Tepper
Bassline Music (BMI), Heavy Breather (ASCAP)
© 1999
1st verse:
Sensuous beast,
Killer on the loose tonight.
Knockin' on the door,
The dark, dark door of delight.
The radio's blastin',
And my body's blowin' a fuse.
And the DJ's playin'
Them low-down summertime blues.
2nd verse:
I'm headin' down the highway,
Thinkin' I'm Jack Kerouac.
I'm the minister of cool
In my jet-black Cadillac.
Well, there ain't no rules,
And there ain't no have to be's.¹
I'm a two-legged tiger,
Doin¹ anything I please.
Chorus:
Here I go again,
Everything's movin' too fast.
Can't say no again.
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass.
3rd Verse:
I'm being pulled by the Power,
The Dark, Dark Devil of Love.
Chained to my desire
In a struggle with the Power above.
Spiraling down a tunnel,
At the end you don't see the light.
Guardian Angel,
Save my soul tonight.
Chorus:
Here I go again,
Everything's movin' too fast.
Can't say no again.
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass.
Solo
Chorus:
Here I go again,
Everything's movin' too fast.
Can't say no again.
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass,
Falling through the Looking Glass.
Here I go
I'm fallin'...
I'm fallin'...

It Comes From The Heart
Music and lyrics by Freebo
Bassline Music (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
Take it to heart,
'Cause it comes from the heart.
Yes, it comes from the heart,
Deep inside.
If you're wantin' a friend,
I'll be yours until the end.
So, don't take it so hard,
'Cause it comes from the heart.
2nd verse:
Take it in stride,
We got nothin' to hide.
If we cannot abide,
Then we're thru.
Too seldom we try,
Too often we lie.
So, let's get down to me and you,
And let us be true.
Bridge:
Sort out the misery,
And ease up the pain.
Face it we must
To be happy again.
Let's work out the problems,
Let's set ourselves free
From the anger and the hatred
That never should be.
Solo
Repeat Bridge
Chorus:
So, take it to heart,
'Cause it comes from the heart.
Yes, it comes from the heart,
Deep inside.
If you're wantin' a friend,
I'll be yours until the end.
So, don't take it so hard,
'Cause it comes from the heart

She's My D.O.G.
Music and lyrics by Freebo
Bassline Music (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
Let me tell you 'bout my baby.
She's all legs and hair.
We spend our time together,
We're really quite a pair.
She's always in a good mood,
She's just as happy as can be.
She's my Sweet Little Angel,
She's my D.O.G.
2nd verse:
She's never, never angry,
And she's never, never sad.
She's like no other woman,
She's the best I've ever had.
I don't have to do the dishes,
I do anything I please.
This bitch is never bitchy,
She's my D.O.G
Solos
3rd verse:
When I come home sad and lonely,
And she's been at home all day.
She runs and greets me
In a most enthusiastic way.
And then we "hang" together...
I mean, we HANG together.
She's my Sentimental Sweetie,
She's my D.O.G.
4th verse:
My baby's always faithful,
She never strays too far.
And when I see my lover,
She goes with me in the car.
And while I'm makin' whoopie,
She watches, patiently.
And when I'm done, she'll kiss me.
She's my D.O.G.
That's right! When I'm done, she'll kiss me.
She's my D.O.G.
I love you, Garbo, YES I DO.

I'll Never Be Ready
Music by Freebo
Lyrics by Freebo and Janey Street
Poppabo Music (BMI) © 1999, Scheme Of Things Music (ASCAP)
1st verse:
I'll never be ready
To hang up my Rock & Roll shoes.
I'll never be ready
To ever stop singin' the blues.
I'll be doin' it by night,
I'll be doin' it by day.
I'll be doin' it blind
When I'm old and gray.
Chorus:
And I'll never be ready to hang up,
Never be ready to hang up,
I'll never be ready
To hang up my Rock & Roll shoes.
2nd verse:
I'll never be ready
To fit into Society.
Well, I wish these bill collectors
Could forget about bothering me.
I barely make a living,
No security.
But I'm about as happy
As a man can be.
Chorus:
And I'll never be ready to hang up,
Never be ready to hang up,
I'll never be ready
To hang up my Rock & Roll shoes.
Bridge:
Hey, kid!
Do you want to learn to play a guitar?
You can pick a song, sing along,
And maybe you can be a star,
Playing your guitar.
Solo
3rd verse:
Let them think I'm crazy,
Let them come and carry me away.
'Cause wherever I go,
I¹ll be sitting on the Dock o' the Bay.
With Otis beside me,
And Pickett behind,
The Stones and Chuck Berry
Serenade my mind.
Chorus:
And I'll never be ready to hang up,
Never be ready to hang up,
I'll never be ready
To hang up my Rock & Roll
I'll never be ready to hang up,
Never be ready to hang up,
I'll never be ready
To hang up my Rock & Roll shoes.
I'll never be ready,
No I'll never be ready.
I'll be havin' one foot in my grave.
No, I'll be in my grave.
But I'll still be kickin'.
I'll be rollin'.
I'll be rockin'.
I'll be runnin'
I'll be Chuck Berry walkin'.
They ain't gonna put me down.
I will never be ready.
No, I'll never be ready.
Never, Never, Never, Never, Never.

Pipe Dream
Music & Lyrics by Freebo
Poppabo Music (BMI) © 1999
Verse:
I guess it's all over.
I guess it's all right.
I guess it was meant to be,
Just like that first night.
The sparks flew like fireworks,
The fire of lust.
Now the embers are dying.
They're turning to dust.
And soon they'll be history,
Dead for all time,
Unless the forgiveness
We somehow will find.
Chorus:
Should I try? Is it worth it?
Is the Love still within?
Or, was this just a Pipe dream,
That could never have been?
Should my Spirit be broken?
Should I wither within?
Or, was this just a Pipe dream,
That could never have been?
Solo
Should I try? Is it worth it?
Is the Love still within?
Or, was this just a Pipe dream,
That could never have been?
Should my Spirit be broken?
Should I wither within?
Or, was this just a Pipe dream,
That could never have been?
Or was this just a Pipe dream,
Or was this just a Pipe dream,
Or was this just a Pipe dream,
That could never have been?

Somehow
Music and Lyrics by Freebo
Poppabo Music (BMI) © 1999
1st verse:
Who we are is who we are.
And who we are is who we were.
And who we were is where we've been.
And we can never go back again....
Never go back again.
2nd verse:
Now, we all have some inner pain,
From way back when,
and it still remains.
It burns a hole so deep within.
But we can never go back again.....
Never go back again.
3rd verse:
Forgive the past, forget the hate,
And find a way to appreciate
The Life we have, the time that's ours,
A way to thank our lucky stars.
4th verse:
And then, perhaps, we'll right the wrong,
And find a way to get along.
We'll bridge the gap from Then 'til Now.
And find some peace and love somehow,
Find some peace and love somehow
Solo
5th verse:
No more shame to linger on.
It does no good, the time is gone.
But learn we can from Then 'til Now,
To find some peace and love somehow.
Find some peace and love somehow,
Find some peace and love somehow,
Find some peace and love somehow,
SOMEHOW... |
