Never Marry a Railroad Man - Shocking Blue

Everybody's laughin', loud as it can be, But please don't point your finger, especially not at me. 'Cause I'm not tryin' to be somebody, I just do what I can, But you just keep on laughin', call yourself a man! I'm not lookin' for somebody, to defend my case. I've been scorned by more than one, so stop this paper chase. If you can't accept me, just for what I am, Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man! Tell me who you're foolin', is it not yourself? Go ahead, be cool, and, I'll just be myself. And if you can't accept me, just for what I am, Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!

I feel like an old railroad man Ridin' out on the Bluemont Line Hummin' along Old Dominion blues Not much to see, and not much left to lose And I know I can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer But I'll know how to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And I guess I may never understand The times that I live in Are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Gettin' on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now, this train is just too slow And I know I can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer But I'll know how to find my way back

She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone So desperate, I answered an ad in the personals Hoping to find me a date A good lookin' non smokin' full figured Leo Was looking to find her a mate We hit it off, we got it on My love was growing so strong Then I started seeing a side of that woman I should have seen all along She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone I can't believe I just didn't see The writing there on the wall Listening to those Barry Mannilow records Was just one of her character flaws Sometimes she was rude, unnaturally crude But this good old boy let it pass But when she cussed in front of my mom I told she could kiss my She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone She never cried when old Yeller died And I ain't gonna cry when she's gone

This is a man's world This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Nothing Without a woman or a girl, no You see, Man made the car To take us over the road And man made the train To carry the heavy load And man made the electric light To take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water Just like Noah made the ark This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl Man thinks about a little bitty baby girl And a baby boy Man makes them happy 'Cause man makes them toys I'm a man makin' everything Everything I can You know that man makes money To buy from other men This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl He's lost In the wilderness Lost In bitterness He's lost This is a man's world This is a man's world A man's, man's, man's man's, man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl This is a man's world, yeah This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl Oh, a girl This is a man's world This is a man's world Man, it's a man's world ...

I'm writing this to say In a gentle way Thank you, but no I will live my life as I Will undoubtfully die - alone. I'm writing this to say In a gentle way Thank you. I will live my life as I... For whether you stay Or you stray An inbuilt guilt That catches up with you And as it comes around to your place At 5 a.m. wakes you up And it laughs in your face

君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す チクリと刺す胸の痛みは 懐かしさより前に 思い出が巡り回るのは あの海岸通り 二人の景色は 時を止めたまま 波音に目を閉じた 今年も夏が来る... 君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す 蒼い空と海と心は君でアザだらけ 今でも消えないよ 賑わう夏祭り 混み合う人の波 はぐれないように君の手を握った moment 蘇るのは You and I そればっか 変わり映えない日々に重なった 想い出は綺麗なまま 今年も夏が来る... 君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す 蒼い空と海と心は君でアザだらけ 今でも消えないよ 変わりゆく Blue ただ一人冷めた砂の上を 歩き続けているよ 君の帰らないこの部屋で 灯り続けるだけの Candle 焼きつくほど聴いた 君の好きな歌を 今更 口ずさむよ 見上げた夜空 今君も見ていますか あの日見た星は今日も降りつづく 思い出たちが歌うメロディー 君との蒼い日々 今でも消えないよ あの夏が消えないよ

Everyone tells me I'm lucky Got my whole life to live yet I can't say they're wrong But the days seem so long Living inside of my head Maybe I'll get some relief now Now that your things are all gone I won't sit here staring At nothing all night Bleary-eyed greeting the dawn () All right I miss you tonight And I'm not really sure what to say It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train It gets harder and harder each day Each time I think that the worst of it's through I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you All right I miss you tonight I admit that I'm falling down blue She lived outside of the city On days when I'd visit her there I'd watch her out dancing All lit by the moon The cold winds of time in her hair Then we'd go driving for hours Turn off the lights and just glide Moving like spirits Along through the night The light through the trees as our guide ()

I am becalmed in virtue Lost to nothing on a bay of dreams Warm weather and a holocaust The tears of God flow as I bleed Left to die by two good friends Abandoned me and put to sleep On a shore where oyster beds Seem plush as down And ripe enough for the Luxor dream Recall the dream of Luxor How fluids will arrive As if by call or schedule Resume through the morning tide Where entry is by seaweed gate And plan the plan of dreams To lose oneself in reverb In all that is and all that seems So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea The oyster boys are swimming now To claim me back from the dead The creatures back from vertigo They fear to fall but haven't fell Will reclaim tries and try again The oyster boys are swimming now Hear them chatter on the tide Of the lost and language lost Hear them chatter on the tide We understand, we understand, we understand And so do I We understand, we understand But fright is real and so am I So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea The entry to lost vestibule Opens on the bay An instant shape of mercury Lost and then retained An instant is an eyelash Caught on the tide Imaginos! Below this bay And then besides... The oyster boys are swimming now One deal is what we made Forest keys and whirlwind cold Green trees too and keys of gold Even locks that won't explode When the skies become a scroll Having lost its interest See that's the deal we made Just to join the Öyster Cult The Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand
