Denise Konkal, who runs the Bob Dylan International Facebook group wrote after hearing the song, ‘This song is epic and I do not use that term lightly! It captures Bob Dylan’s heritage and life’s spiritual and temporal journey, while brilliantly using his own songs as reference!
Your voice Paul (Odiase), is so amazing with its deep raspy resonance! The music is exciting and reminds me of a swift ,free flowing, winding river. It is highly engaging and arresting at times! Like Bob’s songs, it is like a biographical movie, and being a visual thinker as I am I could see so many scenes play out in milliseconds like when you dream something big in a tiny space of time! Bravo! 🌹

Songs About Bob (at https://www.paullyrics.com/album/songs-about-dylan) is an album from ‘Les Paul’s’ (The Paul’s) and friends in collaboration with Swiss Cottage Recordz featuring songs about Bob Dylan with participating artists from around the world.

Bobby Can You Spare A Dime lyrics
Visions of Johanna in Key West
Going down to the party like the rest
We’re all going down to count Bobby’s cash
All going to his 300 million dollar bash!

Bobby can you spare a dime?
Bobby can you spare a dime?
You got all that money in the bank
I ain’t got no gas in my tank
Bobby can you spare a dime?

Don’t give me that silent dirty stare
You said ‘Money doesn’t talk, it swears’!
We’re all headed towards our doom
Don’t need a gold covered tomb
Bobby can you spare a dime?

Was it all about the money?
Was it all about the cash?
Who you invited to your 300 million dollar bash?
Will Sarah, Mary or Hazel be the star guest?
Is Paradise really to be found at Key West?
Bobby can you spare a dime?

Bobby, were you having us all on?
Was it all one gigantic Con?
Some thought you were the rising sun
The Clean Cut Kid, Born To Run
Bobby can you spare a dime?

A.J. said a lot, maybe he was right
Remember in the alley you had that fight?
You sure did trash him alright
Then he disappeared outta sight
Bobby can you spare a dime?

From the same tribe, are we still brothers?
At one time we followed the same Mother
Bobby can you spare a dime?
Bobby can you spare a dime?

No-one compared to you in your prime
I ain’t-a-saying you didn’t walk the line
At one time you were the sign of the times
And I know suck cess is not a crime
So Bobby can you spare a dime?

We bought your Product and we made you rich
You threw us under a train, into the ditch
Did you sell your soul to the devil or God, which?
You went through hard times but now your rich
So Bobby can you spare a dime?

At the Bash, the one-eyed-midget shouts ‘Golden Cow’
Come on let me milk you now’!
As you take the stage in your chinese suit and you bow
As the paying crowd scream, ‘We want you, we want you – sing out now’!

You know Paul never preached, never stole
He gained our hearts, not our souls
It’s easy for you to deny your role
At the end of the line, one of us must know
Bobby can you spare a dime?

Well, your empty purse was full of rhymes
Now there’s no room for nickels and dimes
Your fancy lawyers they guard you well
How will you be remembered, time will tell?

The world it still burns
And He hasn’t returned
Soon you too will be gone
So before you too pass on
Bobby spare us a dime
Bobby spare us a dime
You got all that money in the bank
And we got no gas in our tank
Bobby spare us a dime

I Woke Up This Morning lyrics
I woke up this morning feeling very strange

I woke up this morning with sin on my mind
The devil invades my dreams time after time
But I’ve had enough of always doing wrong
I know I’m weak, but I must be strong

For I’ve been a sinner all my life
I lost my children and my wife
I just couldn’t go change my ways
I did wrong with each passing day

I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more

I see wrong doing wherever I go
On the hill up high in the valley below
Darkness like a veil covers this land
What can I do, I’m just a man

Oh help me Lord to do what’s right
Remove this veil so I can see the light
I’ve been blind please give me sight
So I can see in the day and night

I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more

The man in a black coat asked me for a prayer
He had barbed wire teeth and fire in his hair
I said ‘My pockets are empty, I’ve nothing to give’
He said ‘Look in your soul, it’s where God lives’

Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be
Shine a light on me and set me free
Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lordy be
Shine a light on me and set me free
Make me pure, make me clean
Make me see you in my dreams

I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more

I sing the Blues with Gospel too
The devil and God’s within me and you
Oh devil, go away from my door
I don’t wanna sin any more

I’m gonna sing ‘Hallelujah’
I’m gonna sing ‘Hallelujah’
Brothers and sisters

Blood and Wine lyrics
Watching the world from the top of this hill
I can’t understand man’s desire to kill
I see people act like they’re gods
Mistreating others as if they were dogs

Tell me are those coins in your hand
Worth the price of the life of a man?
Tell me are those coins in your hand
Worth the price of the life of a man?
Life of a man
Lord, Lord

On this hill with my hands full of nails
Looks like I’ve lost and that everything failed
Even my friends turn their backs on me
Others I trusted pretend they don’t see

Do you think those coins that you hold
Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold?
Tell me
Do you think these coins that you hold
Could buy back the soul that you’ve sold?
Tell me

I can’t stand hearing the cries
Of innocence as it slowly dies
Truth is covered by thick layers of lies
You cannot believe your eyes
They say that one day we’ll be free
But that day seems like eternity
How long do we have to wait
For me it’s already too late

In the street girls sell their body and soul
Boys with smart weapons have taken control
There’s a church with a bright golden steeple
So much wealth wasted so many poor people

Those coins that you grip in your hand
Will slip through your fingers like sand
Those coins that you grip in your hand

Justice is blind up here were I am
I am still dying to find one good man
Who’ll take a stand and tell what is true
Turn the other cheek just to make it on through

Those coins that you’d so planned to save
Will curse you unto your grave
Will curse you unto your grave

I watch this world from the top of this hill
And I wonder if it’s really Gods will
To see the prophesies slowly fulfilled
How much more blood will be spilt
Is there nothing more left but to grieve
How can you learn to believe
When you eat and drink the bread and wine
Do you remember that blood is mine?

I Sold My Soul to the Devil lyrics 
('So, what's the deal here? Sure I wanna play that guitar, yeah, like no man before me, so what's the deal'?)

I sold my soul to the devil
Won't get it back from there (so, what's the deal?)
I sold my soul to the devil
And less I could really not care

Been standing at the crossroads
And my tongue it was on fire
Been standing at the crossroads
Being tempted by desire

I sold my soul to the devil
And I won't get it back from there
I sold my soul to the devil
And less I surely could not really care

I faxed my soul up to heaven
Don't think that it arrived
I faxed my soul up to heaven
I want to get out of here alive

It's the end of the highway
And the judges wait for us
It's the end of the highway
Soon we'll be no more than dust
We'll be no more than dust

Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul to the devil

I faxed my soul up to heaven
I wanna get outta here alive

It's the end of the highway
And the judges wait for us
It's the end of the highway
Soon we'll be no more than dust

Play for the devil
Play for the devil 

I faxed my soul up to heaven
Don't think that it arrived, no
I faxed my soul up to heaven
Just trying to survive
I want to get out of here alive
I sold my soul to the devil
Won't get it back from there
Soul to the devil
It's my ticket to go anywhere

They Killed Her, Didn’t They? Lyrics
The Family’s so glad she’s gone
She’s flown up into the arms of The Son
They never liked her friendly ways
They despised her love of life ev’ry day

But to us she seemed more real
She seemed to care how we feel
Some say ‘With just her smile she could heal’
Next to Mother Teresa she now kneels

I wish things were as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?

Although they hounded her day and night
She never gave up her will to do what’s right
She was like a rebel on the run
But in the end ‘The Establishment’ won

She showed us how to give and how to love
It was like she came to us from above
She was taken from us before her time
Some say ‘They know who had done the crime’

I wish things could be as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?

Yes there were times, I’m sure you know
When she was down and she felt so low
And she seemed to carry the world on her shoulders
But she came through it wiser and a bit older

She gave hope to the ill and the poor
And to those who didn’t know what they were living for
Even though at times she felt alone
We all know that in our hearts was her home

I wish things were as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?

At the ceremony her boys were told not to cry
Like it wasn’t their Mother who had died
The Family devoid of any emotion
But she was the focus of the country’s devotion

Her cheating husband was now free
To be with the woman with whom he always wanted to be
The night when she went I felt so sad
She was like the sister that I never had

I wish things could be as they were
But, they killed her
Didn’t they, didn’t they, didn’t they?
They killed her
Didn’t they?

On Days Like These lyrics
On days like these
On days like these
When grey is the sky
On days like these

When we have to say our last goodbye
On days like these, on days like these
I look up to the sky and wonder
Why you had, why you had to go away
God above answers with rain and thunder
I know for me tomorrow it will be a new day
I know not for you, not for you

But now we are here saying our last goodbye
On a day like this
When grey is the sky
On a day like this, on a day like this

I wish I’d said ‘I love you’ more than I did
But so many things, like life, got in the way
We both kept too many of our emotions hid
For there were so many things I needed to hear you say, I still do, I still do

But on our last night together
We looked at each other and both said ‘I love you’
As you slipped into that sleep that lasts forever
And only God above knows when it’ll be time for me to sleep too

On days like these
When grey is the sky
On days like these
On days like these
On days like these
On days like these

On days like these
On days like these
When grey is the sky
On days like these

On days like these
When grey is the sky
On days like these

When we have to say our last goodbye
On days like these, on days like these
I look up to the sky and wonder
Why you had to go away

Dance With The Devil lyrics
We’re born with both evil and good inside
Goodness will show but the other will hide
Will hide until you sexually awaken
Like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden

The devil will make you do things you don’t wanna do
He will twist your mind so you don’t know what’s right or true
If you worship money then you’ll pay the price
Your soul will be offered as a sacrifice

If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril

He shot John in Dakota
As he read ‘The Catcher in the Rye’
He shot Martin in Lorraine
He’s happy when the good they die

So many killed to satisfy his lust for blood
The only thing that can stop him is the Brotherhood of Love
You gotta protect your thoughts and your desires
Coz the devil he feed on fire
You gotta protect your thoughts and your desires
Coz the devil he feed on fire

If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril

Some may ask is there hope for mankind
I see judges judge evil crimes
As pity is shown for him in the dock
But the suffering of the victim is forgot
Is forgot, is forgot, is forgot
But the suffering of the victim is forgot

Try to do good through trouble and strife
Don’t let the devil into your life
If you see him coming around
You gotta kick the devil right outta town
You gotta kick the devil right outta town
You gotta kick the devil right outta town
You gotta kick the devil right outta town
You gotta kick the devil right outta town

For if you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril
If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril
Dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
If you dance with the devil
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril
Then you do so at your peril

'Christmas Time With You' with music composed and performed by Angela Predhomme with lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas at www.paullyrics.com.
On Saturday 24th November 2018, please tune in to the Hallmark Movie channel to watch the new film 'Christmas On Honeysuckle Lane' (see trailer at http://bit.ly/2DxwFs7) and to hear the great Angela Predhomme's and my Christmas song 'Christmas Time With You' included in the film.

Christmas Time With You, meaning of the lyrics

So, you don’t just sit down and write lyrics, it’s not like going to work 9 – 5 and with me it usually starts with an image or a scene, in this case a Christmas card scene in my head. The scenes can come to you at any time and anywhere and can be sparked by something you’ve experienced or something someone says, a newspaper article or a story on the TV news etc.
This scene starts with a woman living in a snow-covered wooden cabin that’s just outside of town, but she’s not woods folk or a hillbilly. You can see the town that’s covered in a thick blanket of snow from the cabin window as the snow falls outside and, inside the cabin, she has guests waiting for the Christmas feast to be served.
This is one of my ‘straight’ sets of lyrics insomuch as there are no double-entendres introduced as I usually use with other lyrics although one empty seat is purposefully kept at the festive table, in this case to remember her partner who fell while serving in Afghanistan and despite her hopes, won’t be coming back and the empty chair also represents loss and sorrow. The empty chair at the table obviously amplifies him missing but also is reflective of a Christian Polish Christmas tradition to leave an empty chair at the table to represent our wiliness to take in an extra guest, alluding to Mary and Joseph finding there was no place for them, 'no room in the Inn' in which to give birth to baby Jesus. It is also a Jewish tradition of both leaving an empty chair and of pouring an extra cup of wine at Passover ready for The Messiah to return and drink it. On a more contemporary note, President Obama left an empty seat in his 2016 State of The Nation speech to symbolize all of the victims of gun violence who were gone and wouldn’t return. 
As the story progresses, she starts to remember how they used to spend past Christmas’s together, hugging each other, playing around in the snow, watching the sun go down and eating mince pies and drinking red wine and beer together and she sings in the chorus that she wants her partner back to spend Christmas time with him/her, ‘I want Christmas time with you’.
She then asks Father Christmas for her present, it’s ‘Something only Angels can bring’ - to have her partner back home with her so that she would then stop ‘Feeling sad, hurting and blue’, she wants to spend Christmas time with him/her like they always used to and shPaul Robert Thomas 22/11/18e only wants to spend it with him/her.

Thanks so much, Paul at www.paullyrics.com!

Anna Frank Lyrics
Anna Frank is gone
But her spirit lives on and on


Like an Angel sent from above
Was so full of hope and love
Sent to earth to show the way
She always smiled come what may

Told Kitty and us secrets of her heart
They were friends for life and never would part
Through 2 years together they would stay
They’d be side by side till her dying day

Anna Frank is gone
But her spirit lives on and on

She first wrote as a child, 13 to the day
Much more than a child, wiser in many ways
She wrote from deep within, from inside her soul
Her words rang so true, to inform and console

I been to her house, I been in her room
Hid behind the bookcase like a tomb
Storm clouds and thunder blew in from the East
Anna longed for the day of sunshine and peace

Anna Frank is gone
But her spirit lives on and on

You were the small sister that I never had
When I heard you had gone I felt so sad
They caged your body but not your soul
But the hunger and disease took its toil

You are the reason that I am here
And all the others who perished there
No-one can repay the debt we feel
No-one can make the scars inside heal

If words have wings and forever fly
I know Anna’s watching above from the skies
If words have wings and forever fly
I know Anna’s watching above from the skies

Anna Frank is gone
But her spirit lives on and on
Anna Frank is gone
But her spirit lives on and on
Anna Frank is gone
But her spirit lives on and on

I saw you on that stall in Camden Town
You were selling postcards of the past
Your hair is grey though you got it coloured brown
I guess inner beauty can never last

You’re a sixties child
No longer running wild
You been tamed with styled
Nostalgia’s made you fat
What d’ya think about that?
What d’ya think about that?

Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Come sing along to these Camden Town Blues

Been thinkin’ ’bout all the places that I’ve been
And all those people and things that I’ve seen
But my thoughts were never far away from home
Camden on my mind wherever I roamed

And your reminiscing of ‘Those were the days’
All got lost in the 60’s smoky haze
Of wars and riots and hate and broken glass
I’m so glad those crazy days didn’t last

You’re a sixties child
No longer running wild
You been tamed with style
Nostalgia’s made you fat
What d’ya think about that?
What d’ya think about that?

Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
And sing along to these Camden Town Blues

They’ve bought and forced the poor right outta town
They made it a ghetto for the rich
The new clubs they all belt out the newest sounds
They’ve built designer flats on our sports pitch

You’re a sixties child
No longer running wild
You been tamed with style
Nostalgia’s made you fat
What d’ya think about that?
What d’ya think about that?

Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues

Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues

Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues

England, Once My England lyrics

I was born here, but won’t die here
That’s for sure
I had to leave and get away
I couldn’t take no more

Discrimination
Runs through the heart of the nation
Where class and snobbery rules
And the poor are treated like fools

The Police are no where to be seen
Sitting in an office watching computer screens
Citizens are robbed, raped or killed
Chances are slim of getting caught by ‘The Old Bill’

In that green and once pleasant land
England, once my England
What it’s become is hard to understand
So hard to understand

Alcoholism
Runs through the nation like sexism
‘Drink to be sociable’ they say
But they’re so cold anyway

The rich bankers they rule the land
They’ve got the politicians in the palms of their hands
They’ll house you in the ghetto's, you’ve got no choice
If you ain’t got money, you ain’t got a chance
In that green and once pleasant land
England, once my England
What it’s become is hard to understand
So hard to understand

Pedophilia
Rampant in towns, country and suburbia
Abuse in every walk of life
From Lands End to Fife

In corridors of secret handshakes
Learnt at Eton and Harrow and such places
You’re accepted-in if you’re one of them
If not, then to them you’re just phlegm
You’re just phlegm

In that green and once pleasant land
England, once my England
What it’s become is hard to understand
So hard to understand

All I Ask lyrics

I’m just a poor boy
There was nothing I could do 
I never had a chance, unlike you 
I worked so hard all my days 
The money I earn't was spent before I got paid

All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone

Yeah, I made enemies along the road
I’ve seen so many stories still to be told
If I’ve done wrong then please forgive
We never know how long we get to live

I’ve known love for most of my time
Been through dark tunnels along the line
Been through times they were good and were bad
I’ve been happy and I’ve been sad

But all I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection 
Well affection

I tried not to hurt anyone
At one time I followed The Sun
Never forget we’re made of dust
To dust we’ll return when we must

I want to live for as long as I can
But the truth is that I’m just a man
I’ll accept my fate when the time comes
And my soul will fly up towards the sun

All I ask, all I ask
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection

We Were The Young Ones Lyrics
We Were The Young Ones

We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
I was well schooled and well read

We were the young ones
My back aches my feet are like lead (Alternative - We’d go out and paint the town red)
We were the young ones
All these memories ringing in my head

I woke up this morning
With the sun in my eyes
Alone in my bed
And the room full of flies

I switched on the TV
With the remote control
There was a plastic woman
Saying ‘she’s the new living doll’

We were the young ones
Like a shiny new car
We were the young ones
Now covered in marks and scars

We were the young ones
All fresh and unwed
We were the young ones
Well these tyres have worn treads

Refrain:	Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones

I’ve been rocking and rolling
For most of my days
Been through the rain
And the purple haze

Never ever thought
As I went round the world (Alternative - As I went place to place)
That girls could be boys (Alternative - I’d find all this love)
And that boys could be girls (Alternative - Shining so bright in my face)

We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
We’ve all been so mislead

We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last

Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones

People just don’t talk anymore
It’s all done by text (Alternative - It’s all done by signs)
Feelings are cheap (Alternative - In these new times)
Like throwaway sex (Alternative - Nothing seems to rhyme)
I was always taught to show respect
I’m told I’m like an old shipwreck

We were the young ones
My back aches my feet are like lead (Alternative - We’d go out and paint the town red)
We were the young ones
All these memories ringing in my head
	
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last

We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last

We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
We’ve all been so mislead

Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones

Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
