When I said I needed you, did you think it was
Just a way to get to you 'cause I was feeling lost ?
You said something I didn't understand
But I felt something when you held my hand
It's all right, it's all right.

Everyday when I wake up, sorrow is my friend
And everywhere I look I see those people who pretend
If you want my loving then it's all right
And if you want my loving you can have it tonight
And it's all right.

Everywhere I'm walking in a prison made of wire
Thinking 'bout the way you move sets my heart on fire
There is no one else that turns me on
Thinking about you, lady, makes me so strong
It's all right, it's all right, yeah, it's all right
Don't you know it's all right ?
Baby, don't you know ?
Baby, don't you know ?
It's all right
Baby, it's all right

Whale meat again under the sun
Every twelve minutes and another one's gone
His meat's in your make-up, his flesh is on your lips
As a nuclear warhead explodes in his hips.

Scientists are saying : 'Now we've got to do something soon'
But sitting around talking about it ain't gonna stop that harpoon
Oh, whale meat again, when will it end ?
Not 'til everything is dead, alright.

Woman's in labour, she screams at the sky
Somebody take this pain away, I'm gonna lay here and die
The doctor rushes in, puts a needle in her skin
And says : 'Oh, come on now, you really must try'.

If you go slowly, then you won't be lonely
But everybody keeps on rushing around
It's bringing me down, hey.

Mr. Politician, can't you see ?
You're gonna kill everything including you and me
So while you're talking in your expensive clothes
I think somebody's going to shove something up your nose.

The whale boats are sailing, tonight they'll be whaling
Oh, there gonna be frying tonight.

Oh, beauty, all the love
Oh, God, if you're really up above
Do something now
Oh, do something now
...

If I had my love here tonight
I'd be so happy, I'd be so bright
And if I had my love by my side
I'd be so happy, so satisfied.

But I've wandered so far away
That I can't see the light of the day
But I hope the time will come
When I see the light of the sun.

I got a friend who's hanging on the line
I want to help him 'cause I've got the time
When people say : 'Look out for yourself'
Well, what's the use if it's for yourself ?

If you've got nobody you can give to ?
Then you might as well just be on that shelf
But I hope the time will come
When they'll see the light of the sun.

Oh, come see that yellow sun shining
It'll turn you on, it'll turn you around
Oh, come see that yellow sun shining
It'll turn you on, it'll turn you around.

But everybody suffers a little pain
When there's no sun and only the rain
So if you've been hurt then show your wound and smile
And it will be all right after a while.

If I had my love here tonight
I'd be so happy, I'd be so bright
And if I had my love by my side
I'd be so happy, so satisfied

I've wandered so far away
That I can't see the light of the day
But I hope the time will come
When I see the light of the sun.

(Yellow sun, keep on shining) if I had my love
(Yellow sun, keep on shining) here tonight
Yellow sun, keep on shining
La la la la la ...

People all over the world are pretty much about the same
No matter what they are thinking about, you can bet your life it's some kind of game
I want to tell you right now, that's not the way it is with me
'Cause my head's been turned so many, many times, it's a wonder that I can see.

And I've got so much lovin'
I've got so much lovin', it's a shame, oh yeah.

Now if you want my lovin', come on, girl, it's all right
Don't stand over there in that corner, it'll only make you feel uptight
Just come right out and talk to me and tell me what you want to do
And when we get together, girl, things won't seem quite so blue.

And I've got so much lovin'
I've got so much lovin', it's a shame, oh yeah, alright.

I've got so much lovin'
I've got so much lovin', it's a shame, oh, really, oh.

I was down town in L.A., trying to write myself a song
But I just could not relax, the radio was playing too strong
So I went on down to Sunset and I found myself a pretty girl
And when we were through, you know it felt so good that she put my heart in a whirl.

I've got so much lovin'
I've got so much lovin', it's a shame, oh yeah, uh.

People are so lonely, lonely for some company
Although they've got everything they want, they still suffer from insecurity
So that's why I say : 'Don't you ever let those possessions get a hold of you'
'Cause a diamond ring is a pretty little thing but it'll never stop you feeling blue, mamma'.

And I've got so much lovin'
I've got so much lovin', it's a shame, alright, uh, come on.

So, so much loving
Hey, so much loving
It's a shame

He's a rebel and an angel of the devil
You can't see him but he's always on the level
He's a driver, a survivor from the law, oh yeah
And if you cheat him, he will even up the score, oh.

He's a traveller, an unraveler of your mind, yeah
He's the high priest, freedom is his only shrine, oh
He's the shadow, he can see behind your eyes
He's got the power, he's like lightning from the skies.

He's a low rider, oh, hey hey,
I said low rider, oh oh oh oh, hey.

He's been down in the ground
He's been kicked and he's been pushed around
But now he's coming back, coming back to claim his crown, hey, alright.

Rider passed by, rider passed by the local sheriff, uh
Sheriff chased him, started chasing him with his gun
The rider lost him, lost him in the backstreets, oh yeah
Then he burned the town up, burned the town up just for fun.

Sheriff got mad, said : 'I'm gonna get thet rider'
He couldn't stand to see the rider running free
He told the deputy : 'Go 'round up, up the posse, oh'
He said to meet him outside Smokey Joe's Cafe.

The rider came down through the town
The sheriff's men they cut him down
Low rider, now they've finally got your crown.

I said : 'Ah!'.

Low rider, low rider ...

Capaldi

He's just a copy of his father and mother
You'd never notice him up against another
But this I've got to tell you, my brother.

He's the kind of guy who'll take you in
But all he really wants to do is win
And after you've given him everything.

He will try and bring you down
And he'll lay you in the ground
So don't let him get his way
Or you'll be sorry someday.

Oh, they will try and bring you down
And they'll lay you in the ground
So don't let them get that way
Or you'll be sorry someday, yeah.

I took my guitar to a local dance
Asked the man there if he'd give me a chance
But he just looked at me and smiled, here's what he said :

'I'd like to help you, sonny, all that I can'
'But first you got to sign this contract here in my hand'
But I just told him no, that it wasn't my scene.

They will try and bring you down
And they'll lay you in the ground
So don't let them get their way
Or you'll be sorry someday.

Don't you let them get my way
No, don't you let them get my way.

Capaldi

The signs are telling me
It's time I must leave
It's time I got myself on home
And left this lonely road I roam.

But where in this world can I go ?
When I've lost everything that I love ?
And as I turn my eyes to the sun
I see that the winter's begun.

Summer is fading
Summer is fading
Summer is fading
Summer is fading, oh.

The days have turned to years
The cloudy sky now clears
But in my heart I feel
The warm blood slowly turn to steel.

The birds like arrows cut the sky
They're leaving for their new homes
And as I turn my eyes towards the sun
The wind lifts his head and moans, yeah.

Summer is fading
Summer is fading
Summer is fading
Yeah, summer is fading
Yeah.

Summer is fading
Summer is fading
Oh, oh yeah
Summer is fading
Summer is fading
...

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

Everybody, bye.
