Shaking the Blues Away (From "Ziegfeld Follies of 1927") - The Mellotones & Phillip Sametz

There's an old superstition way down south Everybody believes that trouble won't stay If you shake it away When they hold a revival way down south Ev'rybody with care and trouble that day Tries to shake it away Shaking the blues away, unhappy news away If you are blue it's easy to shake off Your cares and troubles Telling the blues to go, they may refuse to go But as a rule they'll go if you'll shake them away Do like the voo-doos do, listening to A Voo-doo melody They shake their bodies so, to and fro With every shake, a lucky break proving that there's away To chase your cares away If you would lose your weary blues, shake 'em away

I've been shaking off the wolves I leave them peacefully behind A heart that forgives, builds a mindset sublime I've been looking to the north Steady pace growing fast Foundation made on love is a home built to last Foundation made on love is a home built to last Opening my mind to a family that learns Gaining brothers and sisters through trust that we earn Mission for the gold But keeping my soul clean Your heart is worth more than a paper colored green Your heart is worth more than a paper colored green You cannot fight it But we keep on fighting We got a system pulling People keep on diving Look at our fire Cause you could start a riot You could be the mission Or you could be the target Seeking out firelight Yea we got a system file Pick another number You're never gonna die The cheaters with their eyes The truth between the lies Still I know It's just another sunrise I've been shaking off the wolves I leave them peacefully behind A heart that forgives, builds a mindset sublime I've been looking to the north Steady paces moving fast Foundation made on love is a home built to last Foundation made on love is a home built to last

You found a reason to get me down And it's hard for me to resist you now I'm running from my fears I'm hiding all my tears from you And I'm easily found On the dark side of town I'm running away from you You'll always try to win me back Take me for granted and leave me flat Been grieving all these years Sick of hiding all these tears from you I'm just sitting around Feeling like a clown And I'm running away from you I'm running away from you Fast as I can, now I'm losing you Tired of wearing your crown Your chance to back down I'm running away from you Running on empty, slowing down Here's later still wearing this frown I'm tired of living this life It's getting so hard to survive I still want you around So come on down I'm running away from you I'm driving away from you Fast as I can, now I'm losing you Tired of wearing your crown Your chance to back down And I'm running away from you And I'm easily found On the dark side of town I'm running away from you

(Leon Sylvers III) Ooh ooh Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I loved you to the hill when you were mine But time has passed since I saw you last And that's just fine I got someone else to ease the pain you left behind But whatever you make to say a guy like me You'll never find But true love in you I'll never see So stay away from me So stay away from me I hate to say my feelings for you still exists But for steady case and a truthful face is what I miss I don't need a girl who moves too fast And gets a strain I need a girl who's loving ways are here to stay But I've found just a girl to soothe my need So stay away from me So stay away from me Just stay away from me Do you hear? Just stay away from me Ooh ooh The life I had with you is come for you Find someone else That's where you always do So stay away from me and don't come back 'Cause if you do, you'll have to face the facts That true love in you I'll never see So stay away from me Just stay away from me Just stay away from me (Stay away, stay away) You just had your play, so stay away (Stay away) You got the pay the cost for what you lost (Stay away) I got someone new instead of you (Stay away) I don't want you hangin' around 'Cause you put me down, oh I don't mean to sound bold But it's you to make to play this role I just wanna be true, but not to you, oh So stay away from me Do you hear? Stay away from me, yeah, yeah Just stay away from me

Remember the time we were both eye to eye And we both knew the reasons why It seemed like we faced the world on our own Before we collide can we just take a moment Collecting reflections of this And remember the paths that we chose Spring lied to us this year again I can't stand to face the fear again But you could always laugh about those things It's enough to make a man feel sour Burning minutes every day by the hour Just to end up gone like everything else Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm It's consciously held back in you You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you So let me remind you of this It's the reason your troubles exist Spring lied to us again this year And still I can't stand to face the fear Will you always laugh about those things? It's enough to make a man stay humble Every day is just a new chance to stumble Just to end up gone like everything else If ever a time comes around in the wheel To replace where we stand side by side We'll be ready and able to fly Away from the mire And the senseless decisions of somebody's wasted desire Through the smoke and the wind and the fire Spring lied to us this year again I can't stand to face the fear again But you could always laugh about those things It's enough to make a man feel sour Burning minutes every day by the hour Just to end up gone like everything else Remember the time we were both eye to eye And we both knew the reasons why It seemed like we faced the world on our own Before we collide can we just take a moment Collecting reflections of this And remember the path that we chose Spring lied to us this year again I can't stand to face the fear again Will you always laugh about those things? It's enough to make a man feel sour Burning minutes every day by the hour Just to end up gone like everything else
