Were Are All The Rebels

The Bluesmen  

• Lyrics

  WHERE ARE ALL THE REBELS?

  TOO MANY YEARS,
  TOO MANY GIGS
  TOO MUCH BEER
  TOO MANY CIGARETTES

  THE GLORY DAYS ARE GONE NOW
  OF BEING ON THE ROAD
  WHERE ARE ALL THE REBELS?
  WHERE'S THE ROCK'N ROLL?

  WHERE'S THE FEELIN'?
  WHERE'S THE BEAT ?

  WE'RE THE EXILES
  DOWN ON MAIN STREET

At the window

• Lyrics

  AT THE WINDOW (R.Formignani)

  I STAY AT THE WINDOW
  AND LOOK AT MY FRIENDS
  NOW THEY ARE GONE
  SO I'M ALONE

  MANY MORE SEASONS
  MANY MORE DAYS
  I REMEMBER YOUR WORDS
  I REMEMBER YOUR FACES

  WHAT CAN I DO - WHAT CAN I SAY
  I SPEAK ABOUT YOU – AND TAKE MY WAY
  WHAT CAN I DO - WHAT CAN I SAY
  I SPEAK ABOUT YOU – AND TAKE MY WAY

  I STAY AT THE WINDOW
  AND LOOK AT MY FRIENDS
  NOW THEY ARE GONE
  SO I'M ALONE

  MANY MORE SEASONS
  MANY MORE DAYS
  I REMEMBER YOUR WORDS
  I REMEMBER YOUR FACES

  WHAT CAN I DO - WHAT CAN I SAY
  I SPEAK ABOUT YOU – AND TAKE MY WAY
  WHAT CAN I DO - WHAT CAN I SAY
  I SPEAK ABOUT YOU – AND TAKE MY WAY

  THIS IS THE REASON TO CRY
  THIS IS THE REASON TO PLAY
  THIS IS THE REASON TO CRY
  THIS IS THE REASON TO PLAY
  FOR REMEMBER YOU

  Guitar solo

  THIS IS THE REASON TO CRY
  THIS IS THE REASON TO PLAY
  THIS IS THE REASON TO CRY
  THIS IS THE REASON TO PLAY
  FOR REMEMBER YOU

  I STAND AT THE WINDOW
  AND LOOK AT MY FRIENDS
  NOW THEY ARE GONE

The Collector

The Bluesmen  

• Lyrics

  THE COLLECTOR (FORMIGNANI-MANTOVANI-HAMILTON)

  The collector collects all kinds of different things
  Yo-yo’s and mojos and maybe butterfly wings
  Baseball cards and records, CDs and autographs
  Porcelain penguins, and maybe wooden carved giraffes
  Everything he buys he puts precisely on a shelf
  He dusts them off and keeps them clean as if they were himself
  He’ll dine you and he’ll wine you and he’ll be your friend true blue
  But be careful, the collector might be collecting you

  Silent movies, rare guitars, ashtrays, every kind of gun
  Automobiles and train sets, he says it’s all for fun
  Stamps and hats and concert posters, antique toasters, maps
  He stays awake at night worries about what he doesn’t have
  He comes to see me play a lot and stays until the end
  He says he he’s got everything I’ve made
  He never brings a friend
  I think he’s missin’ somethin’ and that somethin’ might be love
  I think about the president of the Selena fan club

  AUTOMATON TOWN (FORMIGNANI-HAMILTON)

  KNOCK, KNOCK THERE’S NOTHING IN YOUR HEAD
  TALK, TALK IS ALL YA DO
  KNOCK, KNOCK THERE'S NOTHIN IN YOUR HEART
  ALL YA YOU YA DO FOR YOU

  TALK, TALK THERE'S JUST YOU TALKIN'
  TICK, TOCK, THE DEAD MAN'S WALKIN'
  THERE'S AN EMPTY ROCKIN' CHAIR ROCKIN'

  THERE'S NOTHIN' IN YOUR HEAD, AUTOMATIC MAN
  NOTHIN' IN YOUR HEART BUT AN OLD TIN CAN

  HEY, HEY GO WAY DON'T WORRY 'BOUT ME
  YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEART MUST BOTH BE FREE
  YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD THAN HANGIN' AROUND

  HEY, HEY GO WAY DON'T WORRY 'BOUT ME
  YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEART MUST BOTH BE FREE
  YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD THAN HANGIN' DOWN
  IN AUTOMATON TOWN

Baby take A U-EY

• Lyrics

  BABY TAKE A U-EY (FORMIGNANI-HAMILTON)

  BABY TAKE A U-EY STRAIGHT ON BACK TO ME
  A U-EY, U-EY, U-EY, STRAIGHT ON BACK TO ME
  'CUZ BABY WERE YOU'RE GOIN' IS WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT BE

  I NEED A LITTLE MONEY SO I CAN PAY MY RENT
  JUST A LITTLE MONEY SO I CAN PAY MY RENT
  MY BULLFROG WOULDN'T LIKE IT IF WE HAD TO MOVE AGAIN

  BABY AT MY FUNERAL NOBODY BETTER CRY
  BABY AT MY FUNERAL NOBODY BETTER CRY
  CHISLE ON MY TOMBSTONE, “HE CAME, HE SANG, HE DIED”

  BABY TAKE A U-EY STRAIGHT ON BACK TO ME
  A U-EY, U-EY, U-EY, STRAIGHT ON BACK TO ME
  'CUZ BABY WERE YOU'RE GOIN' IS WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT BE

• Lyrics

  PHOEBE (FORMIGNANI-MANTOVANI-HAMILTON)

  Phoebe
  Girl with the sparkler eyes
  Phoebe
  An angel in disguise
  Phoebe, you make and old heart new
  You’re the moon in a sky of baby blue

  Phoebe, I’m fillin’you up with love
  So someday when heartaches and sadness come
  Love will float you to the moon safe in a sky of baby blue

  Everybody’s says you’re gonna be a heart breaker
  Drop dead gorgeous, loved by the undertaker
  Look at those pictures of us laughin’ in the lake
  And guess whose heart you’re gonna break

Slow Down Bob

The Bluesmen  

• Lyrics

  SLOW DOWN BOB (HAMILTON)

  Turn that guitar back down to eleven
  Ya’ play real well but loud as hell and I wanna live in heaven
  Kick back and take a little chill pill please
  Fast and loud you make a tommy gun proud killin’ me with dbs

  Slow down Bob, slow down Bob
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job
  Slow down Bob; turn down Bob
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job

  Slow down Bob, slow down Bob
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job
  Slow down Bob; turn down Bob
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job

  Turn that guitar back down to eleven
  Johnny B. Good says ya should, he’s pluggin’ his ears up in heaven
  Kick back and take a couple chill pills please
  Ya’ swing that axe like a tommy gun that’s makin’ every eardrum bleed

  Slow down Bob, slow down Bob
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job
  Slow down Bob; turn it down Bob
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job
  Slow down Bob or you’re gonna have to get another job
  Slow down Bob or I’m gonna have to get another job
