A Woman Needs A Friend
04:12
|
|||
When I was just a girl I heard many people say
A woman needs a man by her side
But now that I´ve grown up, I know that was a lie
And I don´t need no man to break me down
Well, a woman needs a friend who can love her and help her on the way
Well a woman, needs someone who can share with her the stars and make her laugh.
You are going to try, to find the perfect guy
Who can always call you "my sweetheart"
Then you will hang around, and you´ll go up and down
And come back home with empty and broken heart
Well, a woman needs a friend who can love her and help her on the way
Well a woman, needs someone who can share with her the stars and make her laugh.
But now I´ve found someone, his name´s Ramblin Matt
He´s not very smart but treats me right
And I just realized that in a woman´s life
There´s no place for lies and cheatin´hearts
Well, a woman needs a friend who can love her and help her on the way
Well a woman, needs someone who can share with her the stars and make her laugh.

Ask The Devil
04:19
|

I remember all those nights waiting for you to come back
And I know how much it hurt when no one even said your name
Still I know I´ll wait for you to come one day and ease my pain
To say "hi babe, I´m doing good", to show at least that you just care
I forgot how much it hurt, to live your dream as a nightmare
To change your pink dreams into blues, to be in love with what you hate
Still I know I´ll wait for you to come one day and ease my pain
To say "hi babe, I´m doing good", to show at least that you just care
Now I can only sing my song, and pray the Lord to set me free
And ask the Devil, if you are there, to make in hell a place for me

Long Gone Mommy
02:52
|
|||
All you want to do is sit around and pout
And now I got enough and so I'm getting out
I'm leaving now
I'm leaving now
I'm a long gone mommy I don't need you anyhow
I been in the doghouse so doggone long
That when I get a kiss I think that something's wrong
(chorus)
I'll go find a man that wants to treat me right
You go get yourself a gal that wants to fight
(chorus)
You start your jaws a-wagging and it never stop
You never shut your mouth until I blow my top
(chorus)
I remember back when you were nice and sweet
Things have changed, you'd rather fight than eat
(chorus)
I'm a-gonna do some riding on the midnight train
I'm taking everything except my ball and chain
(chorus)

Since you been gone I've had time to myself
Haven't even tried to find somebody else
When you told me you were leavin' it almost came as good news
It may sound funny but it's true
I think I'm better off with the blues
Now I must admit that I miss you sometimes
Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind
But at the same time I think of all the hell you put me through
Yeah, it's the lesser of two evils
I think I'm better off with the blues
I know some day I'll wake up and this blues will be gone
I'll forget about you and how everything went wrong
But if you hadda stayed I'd be dead in my tracks
Now, I still love you, baby, but I don't want you back
Tonight I'm gonna go down to the sad side of town
Listen to 'em play the blues when the sun goes down
And I know just what to say when someone asks about you
I'll say, yeah, we had our good times
But I think I'm better off with the blues
Yeah, if I had to say,
I say I'm better off with the blues

If you´re lonely, and you don´t know what to do
Don´t try to find her, I´m in front of you
If you´re sad, there´s no place to hide yourself
Knock on my door, I´ll be there for you
Before she was your way to escape
She could ease your loneliness
But now you know, there´s another way
I´m the girl with the heroin dress
My boots are ready, my sword is sharp
My shield is shining like the morning light
Your wild horse would start to drive on
To places that you´ve never seen before
Before she was your way to escape
She could ease your loneliness
But now you know, there´s another way
I´m the girl with the heroin dress

You Win Again
03:16
|

The news is out - all over town
That you've been seen - a-runnin' 'round
I know that I - should leave, but then
I just can't go - you win again.
This heart of mine - could never see
What ev'rybod - y knew but me
Just trusting you - was my great sin
What can I do - you win again.
I'm sorry for - your victim now
'Cause soon his head - like mine will bow
He'll give his heart - but all in vain
And someday say - you win again.
You have no heart - you have no shame
You take true love - and give the blame
I guess that I - should not complain
I love you still - you win again.

There are times in the life of a man
When things get very hard to understand
When love turns into sorrow and joy turns to pain
And all you got is the sweet morning rain
Morning rain come and take away my pain
Morning rain dripping down my window frame
Like my teardrops keep-a-fallin, like the kisses that I´m blowing
To your health, your happiness and grace
Like th eknife cuts the butter on a tray
Like a lion drives its claws into a prey
Like a hammer on red iron, like a child´s hand on wet clay
Please rain on me and wash my blues away
Waitress come and sit with me tonight
Come and pour me some brown liquor into a dirty glass
Come and sing with me way downlow
Any old blues or a sad Hank Williams song
Morning comes and the wind makes me sway
As I´m walking and stumbling on the way
Ain´t no use in being mad, ain´t no gain on feeling low
So bring it on and let the good times roll
Waitress come and sit with me tonight
Come and pour me some brown liquor into a dirty glass
Come and sing with me way downlow
Any old blues or a sad Hank Williams song

Love Me Like A Man
03:25
|
|||
These men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on the shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above
Who just loves me like a man
I've never seen such losers, Darlin'
Even though I tried
To find a man who could take me home
Stead of takin' me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me
Like my back bone was his own
Darlin', I know you can
Believe me when I tell you
You can love me like a man
I come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry
I want a man to hold me
Not some fool to ask me why
I know you can
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man

I got up one morning here in London town, got my suitcase ready, got my old guitar
And a plane to catch to sunny Spain, to the Mediterranean and to my friends
A couple of gigs to play and nothing to care
There was a jam session down in Peter Rock and my good mate Danny told me, come along! and I said to myself why not? I´ll see you later on
I was feeling good but a bit insecure so I got ob my pink tie and my rock and roll clothes, and I said to myself, here we go to conquer the world!
But what I didn´t know, cause it wasn´t in the script it was the girl with the sunshine in her eyes, wearing a red dress and she could sing the Blues like Bessie Smith, and she got something in her eyes that made her free.
Over went the gig, we sat down and talked, we had a few hard drinks and we went home...each on our own. But then at home no fucking way to sleep with her sweet face popping in and out of my dreams, so I decided to ask her out, and come to my gig
It was Sunday evening, ten minutes to start and here she comes walking, shining like a star and she sang a song with me and she stole my heart. And then some of our best friends took us in their car and they took us a picture dropped us at the bar and we drank nothing but water and talk until dawn.
And then she took me home and it wasn´t in the script, she was the girl with the sunshine in her eyes, and she spread her wings all around my arms and she slept with me with her head in my heart, and all her sunshine came shining down on me.
And the morning came and we had a fling, and I had a plane to catch and the time on a string so it was a goodbye kiss and a taxi for me. Heading for the airport with pain in my pants and the taste of her lips I was surely missing her smell and the sun in her eyes
But what I didn´t know, cause it wasn´t in the script it was the girl with the sunshine in her eyes, wearing a red dress and she could sing the Blues like Bessie Smith, and she gave me love and she set me free. And she shared with me the sunshine in her eyes

HYENNA'S SMILE
Music and Lyrics by Sara & Matt
Once my daddy told me, girl you better just take care with the ones you meet, people use to lie, they're not what they say so you better be smart and don't show your real face.
Always bring your smile, also if you feel sad and don't let no one know the reason of your pain, because once they know they'll use it as a bomb, for when you feel good and they do not.
But I never learnt to wear a phony face, trying to show up like everything's ok because when I feel bad I can cry and cry and let the ones I love, take care of my heart.
