Best Of Beck lyrics

You know you shook me
You shook me all night long
You know you shook me, baby
You shook me all night long
You shook me so hard baby
Baby, baby, please come home
I have a bird that whistles
And I have birds that sing
I have a bird that whistles
And I have birds that sing, ha ha ha ha ha ha
I have a bird, won't do nothing, ohhhhh
Oh oh, buy a diamond ring, yeah

(Organ Solo)

Bless my soul, what's wrong with me ?
I'm itchin' like a man that's on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm acting as wild as a bug.
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm all shook up.
Ah, ah, ah, all shook up most of the time.
Well, my knees are shakin'
And my hands are gettin' weak.
Can't seem to stand on my own two feet.

Ain't superstitious,
black cat crossed my trail.
I ain't superstitious,
but a black cat crossed my trail.
Bad luck ain't got me so far,
and I won't let it stop me now.
The dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
And that ain't all.
Dogs begin to bark,
all over my neighborhood.
Mmm-mmm
This is a mean old world to live in,
And I can't face it all by myself, at all.

I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a foundry
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "So Long!"
Long Spanish boots on a "So Long!"

I took a day job in Bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To get my boots on a "So Long!"
High Spanish boots on a "So Long!"
Dig it
I took a Spanish haberdashery

You're everywhere and no where, baby,
thats where you're at,
Going down a bumpy hillside,
In your hippy hat.
Flying out across the country
And getting fat (?!)
Saying everything is groovy
When your tyres are flat

(Chorus)
And its hi - ho silver linging
and away you go now baby,
I see your sun is shining
But I wont make a fuss
Though its obvious.

Flies are in your pea soup baby,

----------

Shapes of things before my eyes,

Just help me to despise.

Will time make men more wise?

Here, within my lonely frame,

My eyes just hurt my brain.

Will time make men more sane?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier, (Now listen)

Come tomorrow, maybe I'm older than today.

Keep on rocking me baby, rock me all night long.
Cause you know when you rock me, my poor back ain't got a bone.
You can roll me, just like they roll a wagon wheel.
Keep on rolling me baby, roll me all night long.
You can shake, rattle and roll me, til my back ain't got a bone

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there, and they began to wail
The band began to-jumping, they began to swing
You should have heard the knock down jailbird sing
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Oh everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Number forty-seven said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

Well I'm going down
Down, down, down, down, down
I'm going down
Down, down, down, down, down
I've got my head out the window
And my big feet on the ground

She's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
She's gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I've got my head out the window
And my big feet on the ground

So I'm going down
Down, down, down, down
I'm going down, down, down, down, down

I've woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me.
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help. A ghost of a man, that's me.

I'm going far
