Sam Brown - Nellie, Nellie

Tekst :

Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, look at what I see.
He s ridin into town on a sway-back mule.
He s got a tall black hat and he looks like a fool.
But he sure is talkin like he s been to school, and it s 1853.

Hey Nellie, Nellie, listen what he s sayin .
Hey Nellie, Nellie, he says it s gettin late.
Says all them black folks should be free,
To walk around the same as you and me.
He s talkin about a thing they call democracy, and it s 1858.

Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, hand me down my gun.
For the men are cheerin and the boys are too,
They re all puttin on their coats of blue.
And I ain t got no time to sit and talk to you, and it s 1861.

Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, I ve come back alive.
My coat of blue is stained with red,
And the man in the tall black hat is dead.
But we sure will remember all the things he said, and it s 1865.

Hey Nellie, Nellie, come to the window.
Hey Nellie, Nellie, look at what I see.
There are white folks and colored walkin side by side,
A-marchin in a column that s a century wide.
It was a long and a hard and a bloody ride, and it s 1963.

    Internal torment II

    As you stare into the depths of darkness
    Illusions of your mind pressured by horror
    Standing on a plain of desolation
    The streams of frozen mist are shattered by the sun
    Travel through the uncaring skies
    Prepare for this defeat
    Once you re dead...

    Shining escalade

    I want a shining escalade
    Live my life a different way
    Ride round the block with you, my boo
    Always with you
    A million others waited at my gate
    We build the fences, now we can t escape
    Hide with me under the covers
    Cos you are my love

    I want a shining s.u.v.
    People see me differently
    Fly round...

    Fuck the world

    Fuck the world
    Fuck the world
    Fuck the world

    Last night down in Mexico
    I m fucked up at the after show
    Senorita s got an ounce of blow
    The bus is leaving I don t wanna go

    I ve seen inside of me
    This side...

    Give me a reason

    Just give me a reason why we fuss and fight
    Give me a reason why I have to spend these lonely nights
    Is there a reason why you fall for other girls
    When I thought I was the number one baby in your world

    Give me a reason why you make me cry
    Is there...

    Me duele amarte

    Me duele amarte
    Sabiendo que ya te perdi
    Tan solo quedara la lluvia
    Mojando mi llanto
    Y me hablara de ti
    Me duele amarte
    Los sueños que eran para ti
    Se pierden con cada palabra
    Con cada momento que espere vivir
    Me duele mas imaginar
    Que tu te vas y dejaras
    Detras de ti
    Tu ausencia en mis brazos
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    Que...
