Circle C Is Too Much

You're gonna do what you're gonna do
Anyway
And I know it doesn't really matter
What I say
So, take my tunes, my words, my rhymes
Go and play
There's no use in thwarting you
(It's OK)

Like a secret
Once one it's told
Ideas divulged
Can't be owned

(other verses to be added...)

SHAKIN'

I've been shakin'
In the hall
I've been shakin'
With you all
Said I've been shakin'
Oh, in the hall
But it ain't wrong
And it'll never do no harm

I've been waisting
All my time
Wishin'
You were mine
Said, I've been waisting
All my precious time
But it ain't wrong
And it'll never do no harm

Shakin'
I've been shakin'
Said I been shakin'
Yeah, shakin'
It ain't wrong
It'll never do no harm

[repeat 1st verse and chorus]

SHE'S RUNNIN' 'ROUND

Wiley Woman [alt: Wild Woman] out on the town
Runnin' on a Saturday Night
Can't hold her up or keep her down
She'll tease the boys just right
But, she's cheatin'
Yeah, she's runnin' 'round on me
Don't try to get up in her way
She gets everything free

Little bar on the other side of town
Plays Rock 'n' Roll every night
There she likes to drink and likes to get down
Ya can't git her home without a fight
Oh, she's cheating
And she's runnin' 'round on me
She's always gonna get her way
Such a sad sight to see

[yodel]

COLD HEARTED WOMAN

You know that I needed love
But I got no love from you
Yet the pain is leaving now
Cause I've decided what to do
(That's right!)

Although the road may be long
I feel I've got to try
Life's too short for loving wrong
That's why babe I'm gonna fly

Cold hearted Woman

Gonna pack my bags, go far away
And leave my woes behind
There's nothing else left to say
I gotta live this life of mine
You broke my heart, and left it cold
And turned my dreams away
I'm gonna fly from here 'fore I'm to old
Not gonna live my life this way

Cold hearted Woman
Cold hearted Woman
She's a cold hearted woman
Such a cold hearted woman

Take whatever you can get
Don't fool around with obsession
It's only something you will regret
Just a thing I thought I'd mention
Take what you can get
Take what you can get
Take what you can get
Take what you can get

BURNING DESIRE

Babe, I'm burning - I'm on fire
I've a yearning - I desire
Wanna give you my love - Wanna give it to you
Gonna let the whole world know - I'm gonna make it with you

Girl, the night is young - It's time to make
It's now or never - Your'e gonna take
Don't leave me lonely - Don't leave me wild
Don't stop doing what your'e doing now - Cause it's driving me wild

Must I get down on my knees
Beg and plead with you
Cause I've got a burning desire
Come on, let me light your fire

Should I get down upon my knees
Oh, would that please you
I've got it bad, that burning desire
Baby, let me light your fire

So if you burn - With that fire
And I learn - Of your desire
I would give you my love - Oh, I would give it to you
We'd light the whole damn world - You know it's true

I'm gettin' down upon my knees
And it will please you
Baby, we got a burning desire
We'll go set the world on fire!

LAST NIGHT

I'm walkin' down the road
With a song stuck in my head
It's the morning, I've been told
And I have not seen my bed
Well, my head begins to clear
But I'm still feeling fine
I'm living in the memory
Of last night's heady wine
Then a man comes up to me
Say's, 'where'd you get that smile
I point back up the road and tell him
It's 'bout half a mile

Last night
I'm talking 'bout last night
You made me feel
All right
Oh, last night
I said last night
Man, it was good

Still walkin' down the road
Hummin' that same song
Last night was an overload
Not a single thing went wrong
And the ladies looked so nice
All I could do was stare
They'd put you in the mood
Feel like your'e walkin' in the air
Someone turned to me
Said this could never last
The words bespoke were true
But I'm still livin' in the past

Of last night
I said, last night
You made me feel
all right
Last night
Oh, last night
Man, it was good
(One more time!)

[repeat chorus - end]

B. GOODE 2 ME

You came into my life
Just like any other woman
And said you'd make me love
But I don't think you can
Your words are oh, so bold
And your touch does feel fine
But what the hell makes you think
That my heart is blind

(Watch it now)

Well I admit that I think about you
Most every single night
You took my inhibition
Away on first sight
Just rock me till the morning
To keep me hangin' on

Be good to me

[short solo]

No I won't hang around someone
Who will not treat me right
And I don't wanna be wasting
All of my precious time
But don't get the wrong idea
I still might make you mine
Just prove to me your are one
Who will keep herself in line

So, if you want it
If you need my love
Be good to me
Be good to me

I said, if you want it
And your'e needing love
You better be good to me
And then we'll see

[longer solo, then outro]

PINK SWEATER

Gal, I hardly know ya
But I'd like to know ya better
I wonder what lurks
Under your tight pink sweater

Oh, oh
Pink sweater
You make my dreams
My dreams better (wetter)

Gal, you make it hard
And it's easy to see why
The way that every part of those jeans
Cling unto your thighs

Oh, Oh,
Those blue jeans
The sight of them
Makes me wanna scream (cream)

[repeat verses as needed]

THE CAIRN BY THE SEA

In the cairn by the sea - I lay my body down
And pray the gods watch over me
For it is there - that I will be
When this weary life is over
Say goodbye - then be gone

Long ships sailing by - On their way from the Northern lands
Blessed winds bring them home
In the cairn by the sea - I'll dwell for eternity
Never more, shall I roam

Unto the cairn by the sea - Take me when I'm gone
Weap no tears for me my love, my love
In the cairn by the sea - Lay my body down
Say goodbye, then be on

Be on
(Be on your way)

In the cairn by the sea
In the cairn by the sea
In the cairn, the cairn by the sea
By the sea, by the sea
By the sea

WALLED GARDEN

Have all of my best freinds left me
I know the gals all turned away
Maybe I wear to many hats on my head
Yet it seems thats what it takes

Living in a walled garden
Might be easy

I never wanted to be a frontman
No, not even a solo artist
I only wanted to be in a real good band
Where I could play my guitar

[solo]

Living in a walled garden
Might be easy
For you

Freedom is a choice
That you must choose
It's true

It has been said once before
The climb is long up that road
But, if your'e gonna rock and roll
Some things you gotta throw...

Away!

[solo]

Living in your walled garden
Might be easy, for you

But it's not
For me

YELL

Lo!
(or)
Lo and Behold!
Hey!
Listen up!
I've Got Something To Say!
Look at Me!
Pay Attention!
Stop what you are doing at this moment!
Yo!
Yo Dawg!
Over Here!
Pay Heed!
'Ten-Hut!'
Your Attention Please!

[whisper] are you ready to rock? [probably no response]
[talk] are you ready to rock? [small response]
[talk at louder voice] Are you ready ...to rock? [maybe some response]
Look!
Listen up!
WAKE UP!

Damnit, I came here to make some noise.
I wanted to use my creative art to entertain.
Now! Tell me, ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?

[cajole until a response ...or, abort.]

TIRED OF WAITING

[spoken over the intro music:]

Folks,
Times are hard
And there's so damn little time
Not to speak of the money (sadly required)
To properly get out here
And do this kind of thing I
And so many brothers and sisters in music
Are trying to do

[sung:]

We only want to please ourselves
By pleasing you

[quick lead ride]

I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of waiting
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting

For some ship to come in

BREAKING THE ICE

[straight forward standard 8 or 12 bar boogie/blues in A]

Hey, baby
You are looking fine
Oh, maybe
I'll wanna make you mine
But let's have our-selves
A real good time

['gentle' short lead ride]

C'mon, children
Let's jump and sway
Oh, children
Live up the day
I'll do my best
To take-you-that way [accents on 'take-you-that']

[a more 'in your face' lead ride]

[then, bring it down some]

[then, bring it home]

I'm, so glad
That you and I are here
Oh, Don't be mad
If it seems to appear
That I'm faking it
Just to get up here

[another lead ride, then end]

REFLECTION ON INCEPTION

[a couple minutes of build-up with 4/4 instrumental jazz/rock jam]

It is said, among the wise
Afore else, there was naught
Amid the Void, there arised
An egg, so I am taught
But the yoke, to our suprize
Was She thereas wrought

Oh, Mwdhraa, All-Mother
You gave us everything!

[only a short jam on the bridge]

All alone and utterly
In bitter solitude
You longed of all the many things
With others you could do
Tears'd flow, but amazingly
They shine for me and you

Oh, Mwdhraa, All-Mother
Cry for us the stars!

[some more jam]

[then, break down to a 6/8 waltzy slow-dance beat]

Now - there - was
Before
Separated from After!
And - Here - became
Known
From over There, it's 'so' they say!
Drawn is Heat from
The Cold
And alse Light from the Dark!
Both - the Yes - and
The No
Apart, at then, thus is told!

[back to 4/4, but less loose on the improve, a tighter rock beat thematically similar to the opening]

Oh, Mwdhraa, All-Mother
You bore us Aelea'aa
She put aright, all your tears
Up there, and up above
Now we know, what shall become
Of all of your love
Oh, Mwdhraa, All Mother
We thank you for that love!

[more rock beat jam. repeat last verse and end on another jam]
