Woh Yeh 05:30

Woh Yeh (Neil Harnett © 1996 Marinated Music/Socan) Podcasting misery and 24 hours on TV There’s always something that can bring you down I know you wanna stay in touch but sometimes it’s just too much Gotta take a break, head for higher ground When you’re trapped inside kaleidoscopes Of broken dreams and battered hopes It’s not so strange to find you’ve lost your way The maze of media controls the way it feels right to your soul But don’t believe everything they say You know rainbows sometimes follow rain Healing sometimes follows pain so come on and sing with me Woh yeh…let’s feels something good tonight Woh yeh…turn one wrong into right Woh yeh…find the calm within the rage Woh yeh…together we can turn the page, oh yeh Streaming terror on the net of images you can’t forget It’s hard to find the peace inside this war But don’t you let the fear and fright, tear down your heart tonight After all it’s love we’re lookin’ for Gotta take some time, walk with your lover in the sun Feel it shine it’s the same sun for everyone, so come on let’s just be real Woh yeh…let’s feels something good tonight Woh yeh…turn one wrong into right, oh yeah, who yeh… Gotta take the time to walk with your lover in the sun Feel it shine it’s the same sun for everyone, so come on let’s just be real Woh yeh…let’s feels something good tonight Woh yeh…turn one wrong into right Woh yeh…find the calm within the rage Woh yeh…together we can turn the page, oh yeh…

Soul Train Ride (Neil Harnett © 2009 SOCAN) Well I’ve been lost in la, la land but now I think I’m catchin’ on It’s all about the golden rule Well it may sound simple but if you think it is you’re wrong Greed and apathy play us all like fools We’re stuck inside this tunnel, still no sign of light Well we’re all in this together why don’t we just get the damn thing right On this soul train ride you can’t get off until your journey’s through On this soul train ride around the bend might be a better point of view, yeh Floatin’ out in space on this old ball of dirt called earth Sharin’ this ride around the sun Well I’ve heard it said every soul is born with equal worth But why do just so few have all the fun Well there’s enough money in this world to go around Where nobody should be hungry, sleepin’ on the ground On this soul train ride you can’t get off until your journey’s through On this soul train ride you can’t get off until you get on back to you I wanna get back, all the way back to you I wanna breathe the air, I want love to spare Wanna smell the sweet perfume I wanna start again, I wanna be your friend Wanna end to all this gloom Cause I’ve been travellin’ for so long on this soul train ride I’ll meet you in the dining car, start workin’ out a plan Let’s get it right this time around Won’t be about money, in fact why don’t we just do without Give the greedy less to bring us down We got everything we need Mother Nature took care of that We just have to treat her right and we can all be phat On this soul train ride you can’t get off until your journey’s through On this soul train ride you can’t get off until you get on back to you I wanna get back, all the way back to you Cause we’ve been travellin’ for so long on this soul train ride, woo Soul Train Ride …

Instead (Neil Harnett © 2009 Socan) I’m sorry that I made you cry I lost my head, I don’t know why But you know sometimes when I get scared I seem to hurt the ones who care I really hope you’ll understand I never meant to wreck your plans If you want to know the way I feel See the part of me that’s real Then please don’t look into my head Look into my heart instead It seems you think I’ve figured out What my life is all about But nothin’s further from the truth Trapped in this mystery of youth I’ve been tryin’ the best I can But right now I need a friend My soul’s been achin’ way too much And I’ve been feelin’ out of touch, woh oh So please don’t look into my head Look into my heart instead Another day, another night Another chance, to make things right There’s still so much that I don’t see And I still need your love here to guide me I really hope you’ll understand I never meant to wreck your plans If you want to know the way I feel See the part of me that’s real Then please don’t look into my head Look into my heart instead Then please don’t look into my head Look into my heart instead

Never Quit (Neil Harnett © 2006 Socan) When things go wrong, as they sometimes will And the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When the funds are low and your debts are high You want to smile but all you can do is sigh When care is pressing down a bit Rest if you must but don’t you quit Success is failure inside out The silver tint in the clouds of doubt You can never tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit, oh no, oh no Never quit, never quit, never quit Being just who you are, I love you just like that Never quit, never quit, never quit Reaching for your star There’s really nothing better here Than to just be real and face all of your fears Don’t let this mystery eat you up Change the picture and fill your cup So when the pieces just don’t wanna fit Well you can take a break, but don’t you ever quit You know this dream will stay alive If you just believe In this fantasy that you visualize It will become reality, just you wait and see Never quit, never quit, never quit Being just who you are, I love you just like that Never quit, never quit, never quit Reaching for your star, you’re gonna be there someday Never quit, never quit, never quit Being just who you are, you know why, I love you just like that Never quit, never quit, never quit Reaching for your star, oh never quit child Being just who you are, oh, never quit child, oh, oo yah, yah, ooo You know sometimes when the road feels rough Feels like you’ve had enough, never quit child, ah no Your soul cries out and you break your heart Feels like your world is falling apart, never quit Being just who you are, ah no, ah no, never quit

Bojangles (Jerry Jeff Walker – Published by Cotillion Music) I met a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you, in worn out shoes Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe He jumped so high, he jumped so high and then he lightly touched down Met him in a cell in New Orleans I was, way down and out He looked to me to be the very eyes of age, as he spoke right out He talked of life, he talked of life, laughed and slapped his leg a step He said his name ‘Bojangles’ then he danced a lick, right across the cell He held his pants in better stance, he jumped so high, he even clicked his heels He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles, Mr Bonangles Please won’t you dance, please won’t you dance He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs, throughout the south He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and he, used to travel about His dog up and died, just up and died, after 20 years he still grieves He said now I dance now at every chance in honky tonks, for drinks and tips But most my time I spend behind these county bars, you see son I drinks a bit He shook his head, and as he shook his head, thought I heard someone ask please Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles, Mr Bonangles Please won’t you dance, please won’t you dance, one more time for me now Please won’t you dance, please won’t you dance Please won’t you dance, please won’t you dance

Home From The Forest (Gordon Lightfoot – Published by Moose Music) The neon lights were flashin’ And the icy winds did blow The water seeped on through his shoes And the drizzle turned to snow His eyes were red and his hopes were dead And his wine was runnin’ low And the old man came home from the forest His tears fell on the sidewalk As he stumbled in the street A dozen faces stopped to stare But no one stopped to speak For his castle was his hallway And the bottle was his friend And the old man stumbled in from the forest Up a dark and dingy staircase The old man made his way His ragged coat around him As upon his cot he lay And he wondered how did it happen That he ended up this way Getting lost like a fool in the forest And as he lay there sleeping A vision did appear Upon his mantle shining The face of one so dear Who had loved him in the springtime Of a long-forgotten year When the wildflowers did bloom in the forest She touched his grizzled fingers And she called him by his name (Bojangles) And outside he could hear the joyful sound Of children at their play In a farm house on a hillside In an old forgotten town Where the river runs down from the forest With a mighty roar the big jet soars Above those canyon streets And con men con and life goes on For the city never sleeps But to an old forgotten soldier The dawn will come no more For the old man has come home From the forest

Earth Man (Neil J. Harnett © Socan 2006) I’ve got breakfast in my beard I’ve been saving it for days But I’ve gotta pace myself because you know I don’t get paid I’m so hungry now I can’ wait to eat The only trouble is the hairs get stuck between my teeth Well you know that I would shave if I could afford a razor But I can’t buy the second hand like I did this blazer That I got at the Sally Ann 15 years ago And now it’s just another place where organic things can grow ‘cause I’m an earth man living in your streets Yes I’m an earth man your garbage is my treat I’m an earth man sleeping in the dirt And after all this time those little rocks don’t even hurt Earth man, I’m an earth man… I used to own a house and two new shiny cars But now my bank account fits into this caper jar Yeh, acquisitions, cutbacks put me out of work And then my wife and kids left me ‘cause they thought I was a jerk Though I tired the best nobody seemed to care That the greedy and the corps took more than their share Well it cost so much to put a roof over my head That I just gave up and moved out here instead Now I’m an earth man living in your streets Yes I’m an earth man your garbage is my treat I’m an earth man sleeping in the dirt And after all this time those little rocks don’t even hurt Earth man, I’m an earth man Things are lookin’ up I’m movin’ down the street With two buggy parking and shelter from the heat I’ve got a bird’s eye view of the garbage bin in the alley Now I just need to get up early to beat Sally ‘Cause there’s new folks movin’ into the neighbourhood From the middle class fallout I never understood How the leaders can sleep while we’re freezin’ to the bone Well at least out here I’m always at home Earth man, I’m an earth man…
