No Surprize Aerosmith 1979 Night In The Ruts

1971, we all heard the starters gun
New York is such a pity
But at Max's Kansas City we won

We all shot the shit at the bar
With Johnny O' Toole and his scar
And then old Clive Davis said
He's surely gonna make us a star
I'm gonna make you a star
Just the way you are

But with all his style
I could see in his eyes
That we is goin' on trial
And it was no surprize

The boys kept kickin' ass
As usual time would tell
But some bitch in the choir
Throw water on the fires of hell
She loved to show and tell
Lord, she loved to tell

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
And it was no surprize
No surprize
No surprize
No surprize

Midnight lady
Situation fetal
Vaccinate your ass with your phonograph needle

I say looky here
Friend of mine
You scratch like you need calamine
Flamingo boots, soles a creakin'
Still in love and Puerto Rican too

Ridin' on wheels of hell
Smokin' our axle grease
Oh, the backstage is rockin'
And we're coppin' from the local police
That's right, the local police
Or the juctice of peace

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
Baby, it's no surprize
No surprize
No surprize
No surprize

Rock n' roll, junkie whore
Got my foot inside the door
Knock knock, knock knock, knock
Nobody's keepin' score

Bad times go away
Come again some other day
Topaz and sazzafraz
Will keep the blues away

Candy store, rock n' roll
Corporation jellyroll
Play the singles, it ain't me
It's programmed insanity

You ASCAP, if BMI
Could ever make a mountain fly
If Japanese can boil teas
Then where the @#$%&'s my royalties...aar
Yak yak yak yak 'oow

Rolling Stones Let Me Go
[www.youtube.com]

very sweet cool arty vid attached to this.
oh, the song is under-rated and totally super; gets better w time for me.
studio version has that killer lope that gets ya.
love the supercharged out of control fast live versions.
had almost forgotten the solid rockin' comfortable miraculous groove
that takes it's time and kills.
everybody's right here doing what they do and in the pocket.
harmonies pretty good too; Charlie simmers and percolates as well
as that solid swingin' stomp; picks up appropriately, so to speak toward the end...
and when it ends all you want is more cause the band starts strecthing out.
ok play again; sly dogs they are
dont tease me like that boys; don't play with my feelings.
start me up i never stop you sobs

Colour Blind - The Magpie Salute

Bob Dylan - John Brown

John Brown went off to war to fight on a foreign shore
His mother sure was proud of him
He stood straight and tall in his uniform and all
His mother’s face broke out all in a grin

“Oh son, you look so fine, I’m glad you’re a son of mine
You make me proud to know you hold a gun
Do what the captain says, lots of medals you will get
And we’ll put them on the wall when you come home”

As that old train pulled out, John’s ma began to shout
Tellin’ ev’ryone in the neighborhood
“That’s my son that’s about to go, he’s a soldier now, you know”
She made well sure her neighbors understood

She got a letter once in a while and her face broke into a smile
As she showed them to the people from next door
And she bragged about her son with his uniform and gun
And these things she called a good old-fashioned war

Lord! Lord, good old-fashioned war!

Then the letters ceased to come, for a long time they did not come
They ceased to come for about nine months or more
Then a letter finally came saying, “Go down and meet the train
Your son’s a-coming home from the war”

She smiled and went right down, she looked up and all around
But she did not see her soldier son in sight
But as all the people passed, she saw her son at last
When she did she could hardly believe her eyes

His face was all shot up and his hands were both blown off
And he wore a metal brace around his waist
He whispered kind of slow, in a voice she did not know
While she couldn’t even recognize his face

“Oh tell me, my darling son, pray tell me what they done
How is it you come to be this way?”
He tried his best to talk but as mouth could hardly move
And his mother had to turn her head away

“Don’t you remember, Ma, when I went off to war
You thought it was the best thing I could do?
I was on the battleground, you were home acting proud
Thank God you wasn't standing in my shoes”

"Lord I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?
I’m a-tryin’ to kill somebody or die tryin’
But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close
And I saw that his face looked just like mine"

Lord! Lord! Just like mine

"And I could not help but think, through the thunder rolling stink
That I was just a puppet in a play
And through the roar and smoke, the string had finally broke
And a cannonball had blew my eyes away"

As he turned away to walk, his Ma was still in shock
At seein’ the metal brace that helped him stand
But as he turned to go, he called his mother close
And he dropped his medals down into her hand

Lord! Lord down into her hand
