Okay [Spoken]
One hmm, two mnph, one two three [Spoken by Larry]
You came into my life
You took me off the shelf
You told my name to me
And taught me what to do
But then you went away
You left me by myself
I feel completely lost
And lonely without you
Why'd you go, baby
I guess you know
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
Without you (Without you)
Today I thought I saw you
Walking down the street
With someone else
I turned my head and faced the wall
I started crying
And my heart fell to my feet
But when I looked again
It wasn't you at all
(Ooh ooh) Why'd you go, baby
(Ooh) I guess you know
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
Without you (Without you)
It's just no good without you

Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke, the demons dined
The son has come and you've been left behind
You've been left behind [x4]

I've got a ticket for southeast Asia
I've packed my camera and press card badge
They only pay me to stay the weekend
What if I never come back
The flight was pretty rough
I got a room, took a sauna
The bellboy gook put my bags on the bed
Left without his tip
Then I loaded up my Hasselblad full of film
And I stepped outside, I stepped outside
I'm taking pictures of burning houses
Color movies of misery
I see the flash of guns, how red the mud becomes
I've got a close-up view
I'm the six o'clock news
What can I do
Military coups
What can I do
All those kids without shoes
What can I do
I'm the six o'clock new na na ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
One two three four, one two three four [Spoken]
I've got a suite at the Saigon Hilton
Cocktail parties with Premiere Ky
We talk about how the war is going
And watch his color TV
I'm the six o'clock news
What can I do
Drinking black market booze
What can I do
Red and white and true blue
What can I do
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, bphoo
The six o'clock news
Shhh-ah, catch my plane flight back to the mainland
Fall asleep to the engine's drone
I see the flash of guns, how red the mud becomes
I've got a close-up view
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
Bfoo
The six o'clock news
What can I do
Guerilla rendezvous

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and welcome aboard
Your attention is directed to the forward part of the cabin
Where your stewardess will now demonstrate use of the oxygen mask
In the remote possibility of a loss of cabin pressure
A panel directly above your head will open automatically
If this should happen, pull the mask down firmly
Place it over your nose and mouth, and breath normally
Dinner will be served in approximately one hour
In the meantime we will be serving beverages
Cocktails will be a dollar fifty in the tourist section and complimentary in first class
After your meal I hope you'll enjoy the movie for today
Thank you [Spoken]
That's good [Spoken]

I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
The (in the) land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows
Of your silos filled with grain
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
And when I was ten you murdered law
With courtroom politics
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth
But I know you better now
And I don't fall for all your trick
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth
Kill a black man at midnight
Just for talking to your daughter
Then you make his wife your mistress
And you leave her without water
And the sheet you wear upon your face
Is the sheet your children sleep on
And at every meal you say a prayer
You don't believe but still you keep on
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You are far across the ocean
In a war that's not your own
While you're winning theirs
You're gonna lose the one at home
Do you really think the only way
To bring about the peace
Is to sacrifice your children
And kill all your enemies
Politicians all make speeches
While the news men all take notes
They exaggerate the issues
As they shove them down our throat
Is it really up to them
Whether this country sinks or floats
Well I wonder who would lead us
If none of us would vote
Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped
From whispering through the fence
You know every move I make
Or is that just coincidence
Will you try to make my way of life
A little less like jail
If I promise to make tapes and slides (Aah aah aah)
And send them through the mail (Aah)
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You say all men are equal, all men are brothers
Then why are the rich more equal than others
Don't ask me for the answers, I've only got one
That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the son
That one line don't ask me f' [Spoken]

One two three four, one two [Spoken]
Pardon me
Kissing you like I'm afraid
But I know I'm being played with
And you'll leave me when you get the chance
Off you'll go
In the darkness of the night
Like a bird in freedom's flight
You're thinking only of deliverance
Close your eyes
And pretend that you are me
See how empty it can be
Making love if love's not really there
Watch me go
Watch me walk away alone
As your clothing comes undone
And you pull the ribbons from your hair
Pardon me

Devil
A one two three [Spoken]
I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say rock and roll is wrong
We'll give you one more chance
I say I feel so good I gotta get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
I don't confuse it
An' all I wanna know (All I'm really trying to say is) All I wanna know
Why should the devil have all the good music
An’ I feel good every day
Because Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
They say to cut my hair
They're driving me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
But sometimes people don't understand (Ba ba ba)
What's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band
There's nothing wrong with flatted third or basic blues lick (playing blues licks)
Well if you've got a reason, tell me to my face
Why should the devil have all the good music
There's nothing wrong with what I play, aaaah
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Allright
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that moves my feet
I don't like none of those funeral marches
I ain't dead yet
Wow
Jesus told the truth
An’ Jesus showed the way
There's one more thing I'd like to say
They nailed him to the cross
And they laid him in the ground
But they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down
I feel good every day
I don't wanna lose it
All I wanna, all I wanna know is
Why should the devil have all the good music
I've been filled, I feel okay yeah yeah yeah
Because Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Ah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Ah Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away, yeah

One two three [Spoken]
Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
No one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That kept him on the run
Some say he was a poet
That he'd stand upon the hill
And his voice could calm an angry crowd
Or make the waves stand still
That he spoke in many parables
That few could understand
But the people sat for hours
Just to listen to this man
Some say he was a sorcerer
A man of mystery
He could walk upon the water
He could make a blind man see
That he conjured wine at weddings
And did tricks with fish and bread
That he talked of being born again
And raised people from the dead
Some say a politician
Who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses
On the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption
And he bowed to no decree
And they feared his strength and power
So they nailed him to a tree
Some say he was the son of God
A man above all men
But he came to be a servant
And to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe he was
'Cause that's who I believe
And I think we should
Once [spoken]
Get ready
'Cause it's time for us to leave

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you done to yourself
Why don't ya, you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingers from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He’s got the answer, ah-hmmmm
You got gonorrhea on Valentine’s day
VD [Spoken, faintly]
You're still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock and roll'll set you free
You'll be deaf before you're thirty three
You’re shooting junk until you're half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Why don't you look into Jesus
He’s got the answer, hmmm
You work all night
Sleep all day
Take your money
Throw it all away
You say you're gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough
To find out who you really are
Oh ah ow-ah-ow ow ah oh ah oh wa-hm ah ow
Oh ah ow-ah-ow wa oh ah oh wa ah-ow
Now think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
Things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
You oughta check it for yourself
Look into Jesus
He’s got the answer
Yes he does, yes he does
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer, ah-ow

From the liner notes: Larry has always enjoyed listening to alternate tracks, demos and mixes of other artists. Some listeners might not hear what Larry is hearing because he's a writer and musician. He's bit-mapping the arrangement and variations as he listens. Some will perhaps have no interest in this kind of anthology but others will"get it" and really enjoy the variations, especially when the musicians have been given the physical cut gesture and are free to start playing humorous things until the song finally breaks down from the disarray of notes and dissipating energy.
This collection of songs reveals a little of the creative process through allowing you to hear alternate vocals and to witness the genesis of some compositions prior to their final structure
