Try To Save Someone

You might be the richest man in the world
Or a superstar adored by boys and girls
Might be a Tom working the streets
Might be a cop pounding the beat

You might be a model on the catwalk
Or a politician that knows how to talk
Might be a doctor healing the sick
You might be smart you might be thick

No matter who you are
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
Might be in Africa
Might be near your home
Why not try to save someone?

It might be someone begging on the street
A baby without water in the burning heat
An orphaned child crying in the dust
Or a tramp searching through the bins for a crust

Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone

You know you can’t take it with you when you go
On the grave of the richest man in the cemetery weeds will grow
Do good deeds with your time that remains
Help loosen the shackles of those in chains

Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone

You can turn away and pretend you don’t see
Those suffering every day in poverty
You’re alright Jack you’re living well
Forget about them living in their daily hell

Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone

They say you’re the richest country on earth
Who knows what you’re really worth
You got wealth and money to burn
What does it cost to do a good turn

Do a good deed it’ll make you feel good
To know that you’ve helped someone like you know you should
It’s so easy to take and not to give
What means more than to help someone to live

Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone

You might call me naive with simple ideas
But I’ve seen so much suffering through the years
Life is precious life is unique
Whether strong and rich or poor and weak

No matter who you are
Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
Might be in Africa
Might be near your home
Why not try to save someone?

Why not try to save someone
Why not try to save someone
Might be in Africa
Might be near your home
Why not try to save someone?

Dylan Song lyrics
To the west of the lakes
He was raised,
On the salt mines.
To be the poet of his times
He was praised
By the wounded.

He was the captain of that crew;
By heart the captain Bob they knew.
And every storm he led em’ to,
Another truth he led em’ through.

Always standing tall
With those hard words and all,
Always making small
the greatest ocean.

Heading left down the coast
He would boast
Of the red tide.
A sickness in the mind,
He thought he saw a ghost,
In the twilight.

To him alone the shape did swoon;
To it alone he fixed the tune.
Into his type he poured the gloom
He read in ink of headline doom.

About the motherland,
He gathered in his hand
The stones from the deepest of her oceans.
About the motherland,
He gathered in his hand
The stones from the deepest of her oceans.

May you ride, may you ride,
May the wind forever fill your sail.
May you never catch the whale,
The one you look to find,
In these waters.

And may you follow far the sun,
And may you live for what’s begun.
May you always hear the drum
And recognize what we’ve become.

And may you always stay
As restless in the grave
Ahead of every wave upon the ocean.
And may you always stay
As restless in the grave
Ahead of every wave upon the ocean

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’

When My Lady Sings the Blues lyrics
Lady Day, Lady Day
When my Lady sings the Blues
It melts my soul
When my Lady sings the Blues
It makes me feel whole

Coz there’s only one who sings
The Blues so right
And only one can sing
Lady’s outta sight

There’s a white boy on stage singing black boys Blues
Oh Mama this can’t be right
Like the world has been turned upside down on you
And day has been turned to night

When my Lady sings the Blues
It melts my soul
When my Lady sings the Blues
It makes me feel whole
Coz there’s only one who sings
The Blues so right
And only one can sing
Lady’s outta sight

When I put that record on
It’s like she’s here with me
I can hear her breathe
And can almost see
Her sing that song to me
Oh how I wish she wasn’t gone
Oh how I wish she wasn’t gone
Oh how I wish she wasn’t gone
Oh how I wish she wasn’t gone

When my Lady sings the Blues
It melts my soul
When my Lady sings the Blues
It makes me feel whole

Coz there’s only one who sings
The Blues so right
And only one can sing
Ladys outta sight

When my Lady sings the Blues
It melts my soul
When my Lady sings the Blues
It makes me feel whole

Coz there’s only one who sings
The Blues so right
And only one can sing
Ladys outta sight
Lady Day

Better Days lyrics
I was born
I was raised
In the wind
Of a smoky haze

I been blown
I been burned
I been barred
When will I ever learn?

But these eyes
But these eyes
Have seen better days
Better days, better days
These eyes have seen much better days

Take me back
Take me home
I can't stay
No more on my own

I've gone far
I've gone bad
I've gone weak
Maybe I'm going mad

And these eyes
And these eyes
Have seen better days
Better days, better days
These eyes have seen much better days

I don't know
I don't say
I was right
To leave you that way

I need love
I need you
To come back
And do the things you do

So these eyes
So these eyes
Will see better days
Better days, better days
These eyes will see much better days

So these eyes
So these eyes
Will see better days
Better days, better days
These eyes will see much better days

I was born
I was raised
In the wind
Of a smoky haze

Be Kind To Animals from REINCARNATION 420 (for Tuff Gong) an album by ‘Les Paul’s’ (The Paul’s) at https://www.paullyrics.com/album/reincarnation420 and on Bandcamp at https://lespaulsthepauls.bandcamp.com/album/reincarnation-420-for-tuff-gong

Be Kind to Animals lyrics
In the Book of Genesis we’re told
God created woman for man to hold
He created animals to please our eyes
All things great or small that walks, crawls or flys

Haile and Buddha were vegetarians you know it’s true
Gandhi and Muhammad they were too
These wise men they all understood
That all life is blessed and is good

Be kind to all creatures great or small
Those that fly or walk or crawl
Like a snake, bird or kangaroo
They all feel and love like we do
For they all feel and love like we do

All those blood clot hunters with their big guns
Each with small ‘puppies’ every one
Showing they’re men by killing for fun
Burn in hell ‘more fyah’ every one

Never hurt an animal
Show them you’re kind
Animals are loveable
Give them all your love and time
Give them all your love and time

When you walk on the street
Look ahead in front of your feet
Don’t tread on anything alive
For all creatures want to survive
No matter how big, small, fat or thin
Every animal has feelings within
Every animal has feelings within

Haile and Buddha were vegetarians you know it’s true
Gandhi and Muhammad they were too
These wise men all understood
That all life is blessed and is good
All life is blessed and is good

In the Book of Genesis we’re told
God created woman for man to hold
He created animals to please our eyes
All things great or small that walks, crawls or fly’s

Haile and Buddha were vegetarians you know it’s true
Gandhi and Muhammad they were too
These wise men all understood
That all life is blessed and is good
All life is blessed and is good

Inna di morrows, bless up, bless up, bless up
Inna di morrows, Inna di morrows, Inna di morrows
Inna di morrows, bless up, Inna di morrows

Holy Land Shuffle lyrics
We want peace, we don’t want trouble
We want peace, we don’t want trouble

Some people be so poor
All they have in their life is money
You might think, you might think it funny
But it not what I living for

I live for truth and love
In harmony with The One above
The horse I ride is swift, true and warm
I’m a rider of the truth through the storm

The blood clots that worship the devil
Want to throw us into the sea
We want peace, we don’t want no trouble
We do the Holy Land Shuffle

This be the Holy Land of God
Promised to the holy people
Sing and praises to the Lord
From the highest steeple

I been to Armageddon
I tasted manna from heaven
I swam in the Jordan, drank from Jacob’s well
Woke up next morning to the sound of the holy bells
Woke up next morning to the sound of the holy bells

We want peace, we don’t want trouble
Come do the Holy Land Shuffle
We want peace, we don’t want trouble
Come do the Holy Land Shuffle

We want peace, we want peace, we want peace
We want peace, we don’t want trouble, no

The Bible come alive every day
I seen where He was born and where He went away
Followed The Way from way back when
All the way from Nazareth to Bethlehem

Haile ride that donkey into town
Blow the golden horn
Let everyone bow down
To a new world being born

We want peace
I said we want peace, we don’t want trouble
We want peace, we don’t want trouble
Come do the Holy Land Shuffle
We want peace, we don’t want trouble
Come do the Holy Land Shuffle

There’s Nothing New Lyrics
Come to me/here from there
Bend your ear/if you care
Man is bad/man is good
I’d say more/if I could
It’s not new/what I speak
But you’ll find/if you seek

It’s all been said and it’s all been done
There’s nothing new under the sun
Nothing new under the sun

Since the world/came to be
Man has tried/to be free
He has failed/all through time
As he walks/down the line
He must rule/that’s his way
Be in charge/come what may

With his hands and/rule of the gun
There’s nothing new under the sun
No, no, nothing new under the sun
Nothing new under the sun

There’s nothing new under the sun
There’s only one
There’s only one
Nothing new under the sun
There’s only one
There’s only one
Under the sun, under the sun

Sold your soul/for hot cash
But it’s spent/in a flash
What’s there left/as night falls
As your past/starts to call
You can change/it’s not late
See the light/change your fate

So much got lost/more can be won
There’s nothing new under the sun
Nothing new under the sun
No, nothing new under the sun
There’s nothing new under the sun
No, no, there’s nothing new
No, no, there’s nothing new
No, no, there’s nothing new
No, no, there’s nothing new
No, no, there’s nothing new
No, no, there’s nothing new
No, no, there’s nothing new
So much got lost/more can be won
There’s nothing new under the sun
There’s nothing new under the sun

A Mile Until Dawn

There's Nothing New

We Were All Born To Die from the album 'A Mile Until Dawn' by ‘Les Paul’s’ (The Paul’s) at https://www.paullyrics.com/album/a-mile-until-dawn and on Bandcamp at https://lespaulsthepauls.bandcamp.com/album/a-mile-until-dawn

We Were All Born To Die Lyrics
Mama you’re calling, I won’t ask you why
Mama you’re calling, I won’t ask you why
Oh Mama don’t ya sigh, we were all born to die

I’m way down on the floor, I’m crawling for the door
I don’t want any more, what did I come here for?
I’ve no place left to hide, I’ve kept too much inside
I feel so all alone, So far away from home

Mama I’m falling, like the stars fall from the sky
Mama I’m falling, like the stars fall from the sky
But Mama it ain’t no lie, we were all born to die

I tried to do my best, I’m not like all the rest
I tried to keep the rules, was treated like a fool
I been hurt & abused, exploited & misused
So tired of this war, can’t take it any more

Mama I’m falling, cause I reached up too high
Mama I’m falling, cause I reached up too high
But Mama don’t ya cry, we were all born to die

I tried hard to be good, I gave them all I could
But they just took it all, they don’t care if I fall
I feel so much sorrow, I have no tomorrow
There’s so much confusion, all is just illusion

Mama you’re calling, I’ll just say goodbye
Mama you’re calling, I’ll just say goodbye
Oh Mama don’t ask why, we were all born to die

A Thousand Eyes Lyrics
Vultures around my head
Feed off things I once said
Things that I didn’t mean

Getting fat on big words
That maybe they’ve misheard
That were never meant to be said

How much more can I take?
How much more can I fake?
In this world full of lies

Keeping my voice low
Everywhere I go
The night has a thousand eyes
The night has a thousand eyes

All this banality
My friend Dorothy
Is such a waste of time

Can’t change their point of view
You know that it’s true
Choke on stale bread and wine

The world is my oyster
It seems to spin faster
But something inside has died

A thousand eyes
A thousand eyes
A thousand eyes

Love is a four letter word
That is often misheard
Love is a four letter word
That is often misheard
Or is better left unsaid

I see empty people
Praying to the steeple
Of the living dead

There’s no one here to lead
No one we can believe
Everyone’s in disguise

A thousand eyes
A thousand eyes

Got an ache in my tooth
From telling all this truth
The night’s got a thousand eyes
The night’s got a thousand eyes

I Met Andy Warhol lyrics
‘You Won’t believe who I bumped into the day before yesterday down by the Roundhouse!
Well, who mate?
I bumped into this geezer called ‘Andy Warhol!’

See David in tattered blue jeans
Listening to Hawkwind’s ‘Silver Machine’
Selling hot dogs by The Round House
In North London, thereabouts

David in tattered blue jeans
Looking like a skinny bean
David in tattered blue jeans
As unstable as gasoline

One night Andy came to town
He was the brightest star around
They were opening up his show
Would he come to the show no one could know?

I spoke to Andy that time
He looked so dandy and so fine
On the street in seventy two
On the arm of his boy with his eyes of blue

From near Andy didn’t look big
Grandma shouting ‘Pig, Pig, Pig’!
Protesting with her Welsh talk
Andy answered ‘No, you’ll find it’s called ‘Pork’!
‘No, you’ll find it’s called ‘Pork’!

He gave me a look and a smile
He sure did have class, he had style
I’ll never forget his warm eyes
When I later heard he’d gone, I cried
I cried, yeah I cried, I cried

Andy could have painted you
On the pouch of a Kangaroo
Or on the side of a bus
Or on a plate of frozen moon dust
Or on a plate of frozen moon dust

David in tattered blue jeans
Meeting stars of the silver screen
David in tattered blue jeans
Rubbing shoulders with kings and queens

David in tattered blue jeans
Looking like a skinny bean
David in tattered blue jeans
As unstable as gasoline
As unstable as gasoline

‘Andy Warhol he’s a legend you know!
Paints all kinds of art you know
You know like tins of soup ’n stuff like that’!
I met Andy Warhol

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

BELIEF

We Were The Young Ones

Years of Plenty from our album BELIEF at https://www.paullyrics.com/album/belief-2. Listen to the album on Bandcamp at https://lespaulsthepauls.bandcamp.com/album/belief-2

Years of Plenty lyrics
Father would tell me
With pride in his eyes
'Tomorrow you'll see
The Turtle-Dove fly
Just wait and see
Tomorrow they'll be
Years of plenty
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Years of plenty
For you and for me'

Although we were poor
And it was hard to cope
Life was like a war
'Never give up hope'
Is what he'd say to me
'Your spirit will fly free
In years of plenty
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Years of plenty
For you and for me'

'To enjoy good times
You've had to suffer pain
To reach the sunshine
You've had to walk in the rain'
'To enjoy good times
You've had to suffer pain
To reach the sunshine
You've had to walk in the rain'

'The tunnel's so long
The end's within view
For we must be strong
To make it on through
Then when that time comes
Our hearts will sing
We'll dance in the sun
We'll dive in the spring
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Years of plenty
For you and for me'

I'm staring at the door
Waiting for that knock
Since Father's been gone
I've felt I've been lost
But I remember that
What he'd say to me
As I sat on his knee
Is 'always believe
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
In years of plenty
For you and for me'

Years of plenty
Years of plenty
Years of plenty
Years of plenty

Years of Plenty

Were Those The Days from our album BELIEF at https://www.paullyrics.com/album/belief-2. Listen to the album on Bandcamp at https://lespaulsthepauls.bandcamp.com/album/belief-2

Were Those The Days Lyrics
Those were the days of wine, women and song
Oh Mary, don’t tell me that I’m wrong
Has nostalgia made me blind?
Can I be so wrong this time?

Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?

Things were better then or so they say
More time to breathe, more time to play
Maybe my mind is playing tricks
Now or then, should I pick?

I was younger then and in my prime
Things have changed with the passage of time
Things were slow, now they move too fast
In this day and age things aren’t built to last

Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?

Those were the days of wine, women and song
Oh Mary, don’t tell me that I’m wrong
Has nostalgia made me blind?
Can I be so wrong this time?

Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?

Were Those The Days?

Greater Than The Deep Blue Sea by Kimball K. Craig Jr and Paul Robert Thomas is from our album BELIEF at https://www.paullyrics.com/album/belief-2. Listen to the album on Bandcamp at https://lespaulsthepauls.bandcamp.com/album/belief-2

Greater Than The Deep Blue Sea lyrics
I’m looking for passion
It’s not in fashion
I want to feel desire

This need inside’s cooking
I’ll always keep looking
For that one full of fire

I’m always hopeful
I’m never woeful
I keep the scars hidden inside

Why should I show sorrow
It will be sunny tomorrow
AAnd all of the pain I’ll brush aside

Never did worry
Not in a hurry
Say what will be will be will be

I hear what they’re saying
But I keep on praying
For in God’s hands is my destiny

They gossip they mumble
Looking for trouble
But I don’t care what they say

Cause they’ll never win
I’ll go through the thick and thin
And I’ll find my right one one day

I see a rainbow
I see love grow
And I know one day
I’ll find the one for me

My heart is left open
I’ll always keep hoping
My heart is left open
I’ll always keep hoping
For love that’s greater than the deep blue sea
Greater than the deep blue sea
Greater than the deep blue sea

It’s greater, it’s greater, it’s greater
