There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be
Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
Down this road, that never seems to end,
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend.
So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.
So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
There's a world, that's waiting to unfold,
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,
We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long,
We're almost there and we've paid our fare, with the hobo song.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light - that's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home
Until tomorrow, you know I'm free to roam.
Down the road is where I'll always be
Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

Dylan - The man In me
**only parts of the song (i left out the irrelevant bits..)**
As you've been moving surely toward me..
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed..
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
O we will know, won't we...?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they...?
..Stars have their moment and then they die
There's a man who spoke wonders, though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds, and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting..
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
As you've been moving surely toward me..
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed..
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
O we will know, won't we...?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they...?
..Stars have their moment and then they die
There's a man who spoke wonders, though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds, and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting..
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Oh well- (Peter Green) Fleetwood Mac
I can't help about the shape i'm in,
I can't sing,
I aint pretty
And my legs are thin,
But don't ask me what I think of you,
I might not give the answers that you want me to.
Oh Well
Well I spoke to god,
I knew he'd understand,
He said stick by me and i'll be your guiding hand,
But don't ask me what I think of you,
I might not give the answers that you want me to.
I can't help about the shape i'm in,

DEUS Hotellounge ( Be The Death Of Me ) lyrics
this elevator only takes one down, she said
this place, this hotel lounge, it's my daily bread, but I'm underfed
He asked, are you living in the night?
Cause I can tell you have a lousy imagination
And as a matter of speaking I hate this situation
But it happens to be one of my pickin'
Cause it's so hard, to keep the dream alive
Cause if it all comes down to this, how will
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
Cause if it all comes down to this, how will
And then she said, and have another cigarette
I tend to forget
And hoisted the flag but it keeps hanging down
you know this place, this hotel lounge
It's my life, it's my choice
And I'm in love with ricky lee jones' voice
Cause it's so hard to keep the dream alive
And if it all comes down to this, how will
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
And if it all comes down to this
this elevator only takes one down, she said, this place in this same hotel
Do you see that man in the left-hand corner
Do you see that woman their love-story's famous
this elevator only takes one down, she said
this place, this hotel lounge, it's my daily bread, but I'm underfed
He asked, are you living in the night?
Cause I can tell you have a lousy imagination
And as a matter of speaking I hate this situation
But it happens to be one of my pickin'
Cause it's so hard, to keep the dream alive
Cause if it all comes down to this, how will
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
You move me, you move me, you move me round and round, I guess
Take it back your analogue, it's on the other side of this
Cause if it all comes down to this, how will
And then she said, and have another cigarette

A new one for today:
Dreamed I was a fireman.
I just smoked and watched you burn.
Dreamed I was an astronaut.
I shot you down like a juggernaut.
Dreamed we were still going out.
Had that one a few times now.
Woke up to find we were not.
It's good to be awake.
Dreamed I was a tidal wave.
I ravaged your coast, there were no survivors.
Dreamed I was your landlord.
I showed your place when you had lovers.
If I was a vampire,
I wouldn't suck your blood.
Then I dreamed I was you.
Sweetest dream I have had.
If you could hear
the dreams I've had, my dear,
they would give you nightmares for a week.
But you're not here
and I can never sleep.
Come home so I can be a creep.
Dreamed I was a dream.
I stole you away in your sleep.
Saved you from a fire, a gun for hire,
I introduced you to a vampire.
A wave crashed on the beach.
We rolled around in its foamy grasp.
Kissing in the chaos of a kelpy sea.
Seems I couldn't save you from me.
If you could hear
the dreams I've had, my dear,
they would give you nightmares for a week.
But you're not here
and I can never sleep.
Come home so I can be a creep.
Maybe I'm obsessive
to think like this.
Probably not impressing you
with my cheap tricks.
Honey, it's depressing what
depression does to some.
I'll play the part for hours but
I know you'll never come.
If you could hear
the dreams I've had, my dear,
they would give you nightmares for a week.

at certain times of the year....
They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
Of the respected gentlemen
They say it would be wine an' roses
If England were for Englishmen again
Well I saw a dirty overcoat
At the foot of the pillar of the road
Propped inside was an old man
Whom time would not erode
When the night was snapped by sirens
Those blue lights circled fast
The dancehall called for an' ambulance
The bars all closed up fast
My silence gazing at the ceiling
While roaming the single room
I thought the old man could help me
If he could explain the gloom
You really think it's all new
You really think about it too
The old man scoffed as he spoke to me
I'll tell you a thing or two
I missed the fourteen-eighteen war
But not the sorrow afterwards
With my father dead and my mother ran off
My brothers took the pay of hoods
The twenties turned the north was dead
The hunger strike came marching south
At the garden party not a word was said
The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
The next war began and my ship sailed
With battle orders writ in bed
In five long years of bullets and shells
We left tem million dead
The few returned to old Piccadily
We limped around Leicster Square
The world was busy rebuilding itself
The architects could not care
But how could we know when I was young
All the canges that were to come?
All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield
And now the terror of the scientific sun
There was masters an' servants an' servants an' dogs
They taught you how to touch your cap
But through strikes an' famine an' war an' peace
England never closed this gap
So leave me now the moon is up
But remember all the tales I tell
The memories that you have dredged up
Are on letters forwarded from hell
The streets were by now deserted
The gangs had trudged off home
The lights clicked off in the bedsits
An' old England was all alone
They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
Of the respected gentlemen
They say it would be wine an' roses
If England were for Englishmen again
Well I saw a dirty overcoat
At the foot of the pillar of the road
Propped inside was an old man
Whom time would not erode
When the night was snapped by sirens
Those blue lights circled fast
The dancehall called for an' ambulance
The bars all closed up fast
My silence gazing at the ceiling
While roaming the single room
