Blowin' Your Mind lyrics

Over in Killarney

Many years ago,

Me Mither sang a song to me

In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,

In her good ould Irish way,

And l'd give the world if she could sing

That song to me this day.

Chorus:

"Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,

[false start]

We just sat there

[Rock & Roll Band]

We just sat there
never ever thinkin'

we'd get much older.

Layin' out on the beach

with our heads on each other's shoulder,

and we flagged the highway drivers down,

and get a ride to nowhere.

That means sit somewhere out of town,

we never ever had a care.

Wasn't that a time,

yeah, so wasn't that a soul time.

Fill me my cup
And I'll drink your sparkling wine
Pretending everything is fine
'Till I see your sad eyes

Throw me a kiss
Across a crowded room
Some sunny wind-swept afternoon
Is none too soon for me to miss
My sad eyes
Whoa my sad eyes
Are glad eyes, but you my sad eyes

Fortunate and free
And there go you and I
Between the under sky
But who are you and I

It’s a lot like bein’ little
And wantin’ a brand new toy.
It’s a lot like bein’ little
And wantin’ a baby boy
To call brother,
And it hurts
When you want it
So bad.
It’s a lot like bein’ a young boy
Who cannot make the team.
It’s a lot like bein’ a young girl
Who cannot help but dream

Why not lie here
In-a my arms
And just listen to the night.
You must know that you have
Certain charms,
And I feel,
And I feel the time is right.
Spare me a little,
Spare me a little,
Spare me a little of your love.
Spare me a little,
Spare me a little,
Spare me a little of your love.
And I know that i
Feel much more
In-a
Every single way,
[ended / and it’s ? ] not the same

Well, well, I loved you
Like I never loved before
First time I saw you
Standing home at your front door
Do you remember
You created quite a scene
When you were walking
Down by the village green

Chorus
When you were only
When you were only
When you were only
When you were only
Sweet sixteen
Baby, how I loved you
Sweet sixteen
How I really loved you
Sweet sixteen
Baby, how I loved you

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
All about your love, all about your love

Every little bit
Every little bit of my heart sings
Every little song
Every little song that your love brings
And every day, in every little way
Your love shows
And every day, in every way
Our love grows

You’ve gotta tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
All about your love, all about your love

I like my coffee in the mornin’,
Crazy ’bout my tea at night.
I like my coffee in the mornin’,
Crazy ’bout my tea at night.

If I don’t get my sugar three times a day,
Boy, you know I don’t feel right.
Well, I know my hound dog
When I hear him bark.
Well, I know my hound dog
When I hear him bark.
And I know my baby when I feel her
In the dark.

Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came ?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game,
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey,
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl,

You, my brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing

Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know it's true,
Little gal, little girl, Lord, you know it's true,
I don't wanna stop rockin' and rollin' with you.

Are you gonna let me stand alone ?
Are you gonna let me stand alone ?
Caught you this morning before your Daddy came home.

And I done more for you than your Daddy has ever done,
I done more for you than your Daddy has ever done,

Now listen, Julie baby,
it ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight.
It ain't natural for you to cry way into midnight through,
Until the wee small hours long 'fore the break of dawn,
Oh Lord, huh uh ha. Ha.

Now Julie, an' there ain't nothin' on my mind
More further 'way than what you're lookin' for.
I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door
And looked into my eyes.

The wine beneath the bed,
The things we've done and said
And all the memories that come glancing back to me
In my loneliness
You're standing in the breach
Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach
Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering
Where you're at.
Hmm, take me back again,
Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

The way you pulled the gate

Goodbye baby, so long girl.
I know you ain't gonna like it,
But I'm stepping right out in your world
For I'm coming to your party
And I won't be able to stay,
But I'm gonna kiss you one more time, Lord,
Then I'm going away.
Goodbye baby hmm, baby goodbye hmm.

You may be lonely, yeah, you may be hurt,
Like a fool I gave you candy,
You turned around and treated me like dirt.

Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey,
Ro ro ro ro ro ro ro rosey.
You're the apple of my eye,
Ice cream in my cherry pie, pie.

She's just sixteen and she's not yet grown,
She never goes out on her own.
She lives way up on the Avenue of Trees,
Where I chanced to walk in the cool night breeze.
And I, I see her face, her smile, her hair,
I cry, "Oh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh."

Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time ?
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines ?
And who said, "Follow the man, it's your only chance,
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own"?

And who said, "Ha, ha, look at you, look at you,
You got jam on your face."

Don't you love the sound
Of the last laugh, my friend
Don't you love the sound
Of the last laugh, at the end

Down in the gutter
With the mad old soldiers
Down in the scuppers
With the drunken sailors
Down in the gutter
With the mad old soldiers
But the last laugh, baby is yours

And don't you love the sound
Of the last laugh goin' down

Games you thought you'd learned

Diabolic pressure.
It keeps getting worse before it gets better.
It keep killin' ya', killin' ya', killin' ya', killin' ya',
bringin' ya' down.
Killin' ya', killin' ya', killin' ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down.

Pleasin' everybody.
Ya' know it gets ya' nowhere.
Pleasin' everybody.
A-what the fuck do they care.

We stood outside the city,
six feet in the snow,
and everyone was stranded
and I stopped to say, "hello".
Everybody kept on walkin'
who didn't have no place to go.
Everybody kept on walkin'
that had no place to go,
and everybody's talkin'
but nobody really knows,
nobody really knows.

And say, I think you'll stay awhile,
you know just where it's at.
Pull up a chair and
stay awhile,

You have drowned
a thousand sorrows
all in one,
and mixed with mugs, (?)
and millionaires
you have done.
Ya' been and gone and done it
for a quid,
and just what you don't know,
up there you got hid.

Lord, you're only
fourteen summers
and God knows,
yeah, child,
you're gettin' mighty
like a rose.

You got pulled (?)
for tryin' to straighten
up this town,
and looked bashful

Mechanical bliss is striking me for what I believe in
A ribbon on the line, and getting in and getting out
Huh, huh, huh ...... huh, huh huh
Was not like this

No, mechanical bliss was not like this at all
The ribbon on the line, and getting in and getting out was not like this
Was not like this, was not like this

Caruthers and Smith said that they couldn't come at all

See you smile
angel child,
that's all I ever wanted to do.
See your laugh
in a photograph,
that's all I ever wanted to do.
See your swishin' walk,
and talk your baby talk,
that's all I ever wanted to do.
Lorna,
Lorna,
that's all I ever wanted to do.
Carry you,
carry you down by the banks of the river,
all along down,
all along down the grasses' [throne ?].
Carry you, carry you,

I shall sing,
sing my song,
be it right,
be it wrong.
In the night,
in the day,
any how,
any way,
I shall sing.
La la la la la la la la la
na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na
Oh, oh,
na na na na na naaa na
With my heart,
with my soul,
[from ?] the young
or the old,
when I'm high,
when I'm low,
when I'm fast,
when I'm slow,

Well I'm sick and tired
of your alibis,
and your indiscreet lies
just won't get you by,
over and over and over and over again.

And your family,
your forced superiority,
your azure delusions of grandeur,
are gonna cut you free,
over and over and over and over again.

You're as cold as ice.
Ahh, you're not Miss Nice,
and I paid the price.

Ahh, you can count me out.

If I don't love you baby,
grits ain't groceries,
eggs ain't poultry,
and Mona Lisa was a man.

All around the world
I'd rather be a fly
and light on my baby's head,
I'll stay with that
woman 'til I die.
A toothpick in my hand,
I dig a 10-foot ditch
and ride through the jungle
fightin' lions with a switch,
because ya' know I love ya' baby,
well, you know I love you baby,

Feedback
out on Highway 101.
Feedback
out on Highway 101.
Cruisin' easy,
and your favorite DJ
havin' fun.
Look out, stand back,
there's a fool out on the road.
Look out,
stand back,
there's a fool out on the road.
Had one too many drinks
and he just may overload.
Stand back.

Night time
cruisin' 'long,
cruisin' along.
Night time cruisin',
night time cruisin' along.

Well, I wake up
and I'm slowly
a-comin' down.
I'm just tryin'
to get my feet back
on the ground.
I got more
of an idea
just exactly
what I'm worth.
Baby, baby, I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth.
Yeah, baby, baby, I wake up
and I'm comin'
down to earth.
Was I
ever wrong
about so much?
That's all you get,
get completely
out of touch.

Girl, you're my sunshine,
take away the raindrops,
you make it all worthwhile,
make all the pain stop.
Just like a river,
keep love flowin',
don't let our world stop,
gotta keep it goin'.
Well, I love you just the way you are,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,
don't change on me, yeah.
Girl, you're my lucky star,
honey, don't change on me,
don't change on me,

You came to see me when the moon was new
Saw you standin' in the pouring rain
Left my message on the window pain
Back on the street again
Back on the beat again
I'm back on the top again

Saw me climbing to the top of the hill
You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill
Learned my lesson and I had my fill
Learnt it all in vain
Went through it all again
Now I'm back on the top again

Let the midnight special
Let the midnight special
Shine its light on me
Shine a light on me,
Let the midnight special
Let the midnight...
Shine its ever-loving light on me
Ever loving light on me.

Yonder come miss Rosey,
How in the world do you know,
How in the world do you know ?
Well, I know her by her apron
And the dress she wore.
Umbrella on her shoulder,

The management said they were sorry
For the inconvenience you are suffering
And Mr. Booking Agent, please have mercy
Don't book the jobs so far apart
We went up to Griffith Park
With a fifth of Johnny Walker Red
And smashed it on a rock and wept
While the old couple looked on into the dark

Oh, Richard, tell me if it's poker
Oh, Richard, tell me, who's got the joker and is it poker

(Shut that door)
(clapping)
(Cross the floor) ha-ha

(whistling & guitar solo)

Hey girl!
When ya' swish and sway
In your yellow dress
'Cross the crowded room
Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom

Hey girl!
Freckles on your arms
Freckles on your face
Can't we find a place
In a crowded room, we go

Boom, chicka-boom, chicka-boom
(Chicka-boom, chicka-boom)
Boom (chicka-boom, chicka-boom-boom)
