Perfectly Right (A harp, 2nd pos)
Never did bother with dust on the cover but I've tended to rip the first page
When logic may not be reliable I rather trust my sense of smell
But was I meant to be wrong, or was I perfectly right
What in this world can be wrong, when nothing seems to be right
Now, tell what may be wrong, when nothing seems to be right?
Is everything plain wrong? Or has it been allright, all along...?
Keeping in sight your little piece of the world feels enough 'till you take the first step
Dare to be a tiny little fish in the sea, swim the tides while you can and then sail
But was I meant to be wrong, or was I perfectly right
What in this world can be wrong, when nothing seems to be right
Now, tell what may be wrong, when nothing seems to be right?
Is everything plain wrong? Or has it been allright, all along...?
Wounded nights and atypical moods may be harsh but they sure keep your guard up
I've never had a sleepless night in my life whith death as a relaxing thought
But was I meant to be wrong, or was I perfectly right
What in this world can be wrong, when nothing seems to be right
Now, tell what may be wrong, when nothing seems to be right?
Is everything plain wrong? Or has it been allright, all along...?

Motherless Child (A harp, 2nd pos)
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home, a long way from home
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
A long way from home, a long way from home

Real Fast Mover (Bb harp, 2nd pos)
I have always been sure about the changes as a must
Some things start to rust when you polish them too much
Then I find myself playing the same old little bar
I always find good reasons to keep fooling around
Wherever I can hide from you
My woman's always been straight 'bout making things work
Like "I don't take you too seriously buy I won't laugh at your jokes"
Our time has been too easy, even for my taste
Too good to be true, too nice to bother
But fish they don't see the water
I got a full time job as a good time waster
And I do the night shift as a savings spender
It takes a real fast mover to dodge the whip
And still can't tell what's keeping me fit

Every Way Is Down (C harp, 3rd pos)
Life is a blessing and a curse
A choice between the awful and the worse
From my heart and from my veins, seeking underneath my skin
Only to find out that choosing time is over
Life shows your way down through the dark
Expelled from the belly of your mom
You'll get used to being expelled, that's the fate of being a man
For every woman has a mothers womb
I've always tried to ignore all glamour
Waiting for the meanings to change
Life is a blessing and a curse
Once accepted you'll be half a way done
Life is a haunting and a hope
A choice between some paths you'll never run
Any wish and any plan, all the dreams you've ver had
Be prepared to watch'em going down the same drain
Life shows your way down through the dark
Expelled from the belly of your mom
You'll get used to being expelled, that's the fate of being a man
For every woman has a mothers womb
I've always tried to ignore all glamour
Waiting for the meanings to change
Life is a blessing and a curse
Once accepted you'll be half a way done

Life is Bad Movie (A harp, 1st pos)
Life is a bad, bad movie.
A really bad one...
No smart coversations in that old-fashioned style.
No rain getting the lover's hair wet.
The holes in the plot seem to be the best part.
No fades to black...
No bags full of money to throw in the air.
Sidekick don’t support, and he even gets the girl.
No bad guys to fight or they ain’t that bad.
No cuts to the chase...
No climax to cry at, music won’t turn up.
Soundtrack doesn’t fit in this bar .
No sweet girls to save, they just save themselves.
No kiss at the end…
Life is a bad, bad movie.
A really bad one...

I'll Be Thinkin' of You (A harp, 2nd pos)
I'll be thinkin' of your eyes
I'll be thinkin' of your skin
I'll be thinkin' of the midnight hours spent watching you sleep
I'll be thinkin' of you and I won't care for no one else
I'll be thinkin' of your mouth
I'll be thinkin' of your lips
I'll be thinkin' of the way you whisper everytime we kiss
I'll be thinkin' of you and I won't care for no one else
I'll be thinkin' of your hips
I'll be thinkin' of yours thighs
I'll be thinkin of the way you tremble when I hold you thight
I'll be thinkin' of you and I won't care for no one else
I'll be thinkin' of your knees
I'll be thinkin' of your hands
I'll be thinkin' of your walkin', talkin', movin', fightin', yellin'...
I'll be thinkin' of you and I won't care for no one else

Didn't He Ramble (Bb harp, 2nd)
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
Ramble all around, in and out of the town
Didn't he ramble, he ramble
Ramble till the butcher shot him down
His feet were in the market place his head was in the street
Lady go passing by and said" look at the market meat"
He grab her pocket book and said "I wish you well"
She pulled on a 45 and said" I'm head of personnel"
Didn't he ramble, he ramble
Ramble all around, in and out of the town
Didn't he ramble, he ramble
Ramble till the butcher shot him down
He slept into the cathouse, he made love into the stable
Madame cought him cold, he said"I'll pay you when I be able"
Six months has past and she stood all she could stand
She said "Buddy when I'm through with you ol' groundhog will be shakin' your hand"
Didn't he ramble, he ramble
Ramble all around, in and out of the town
Didn't he ramble, he ramble
Ramble till the butcher cut him down

Hideaway Downtown (Bb harp, 3rd pos)
When I wake up in the evening and the sun is going down
Feeling buried in the nonsense, baby, since you're not around
You used to make me feel like stepping on the shadow of a cat
Now I wanna lose myself, from my head down to the gound
Right from my head down to the ground
Along the sidewalk by my hideaway downtown
Right from my head down to the ground
I wanna know what lies behind this city's back
Well, the smog is getting warmer and the neon starts to rise
No relief I'll found tonight in this rusty city sky
Cut me a switch or hold you breath, untill the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town.
Right from my head down to the ground
Along the sidewalk by my hideaway downtown
Right from my head down to the ground
I wanna know what lies behind this city's back

Feel the Night (G harp, 3rd pos)
The darkest hour is way before the day breaks
You can't belive all that you hear
These silent walls lately started to crumble
I hope they keep away from me
I feel the night crawling around me
I know the night is hiding you
I feel the night...
Your trademark way of leaving in the morning
Begins to make me smile
Standing by the door you closed so very lightly
I think I'll stay here for a while
I feel the night crawling around me
I know the night is hiding you
I feel the night...
Don't get me wrong, I've never tried to own you
So why you keep running away
Grey light of down revealing your traces
Wish it would never be a day
I feel the night crawling around me
I know the night is hiding you
I feel the night...
