| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01  | Bob Dylan (Love & Theft) Well, I'm stranded in the city that never sleeps Some of these women they just give me the creeps I'm avoiding the south side the best I can These memories I got they can strangle a man Well, I came ashore in the dead of the night Lot of things can get in the way when you're trying to do what's right You don't understand it, my feeling for you You'd be honest with me if you only knew. I'm not sorry for nothing I've done I'm glad I fought, I only wish we'd won The siamese twins are coming to town People can't wait, they've gathered around When I left my home the sky split open wide I never wanted to go back there, I'd rather have died You don't understand it, my feeling for you You'd be honest with me if only you knew My woman got a face like a teddy bear She's tossing a baseball bat in the air The meat is so tough you can't cut it with a sword I'm crashing my car trunk first into the board You say that my eyes are pretty and my smile is nice Well, I'd sell it to you at a reduced price You don't understand it, my feeling for you You'd be honest with me if only you knew Some things are too terrible to be true, I won't come here no more if it bothers you. There's a Southern Pacific leaving at 9:45 I'm having a hard time, believing some people were ever alive I'm stark naked but I don't care I'm going off into the woods, and I'm huntin' bear. You don't understand it, my feeling for you Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew I'm here to create the new imperial empire I'm gonna do whatever circumstances require I care so much for you I didn't think I could I can't tell my heart that you're no good Well, my parents, they warned me not to waste my years And I still got their advice oozing out of my ears You don't understand it, my feeling for you Well, you'd be honest with me if only you knew *********************************************** Foot Of Pride Bob Dylan (The Bootleg Series Vol.1-3) Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man So can a woman who passes herself off as a male They sang "Danny Boy" at his funeral and the Lord's Prayer Preacher talking 'bout Christ betrayed It's like the earth just opened and swallowed him up He reached too high, was thrown back to the ground You know what they say about bein' nice to the right people on the way up Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin' down Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down Ain't no goin' back Hear ya got a brother named James, don't forget faces or names Sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed He looked straight into the sun and said revenge is mine But he drinks, and drinks can be fixed Sing me one more song, about ya love me to the moon and the stranger And your fall by the sword love affair with Erroll Flynn in these times of compassion when conformity's in fashion Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in. Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down Ain't no goin' back There's a retired businessman named Red, cast down from heaven and he's out of his head He feeds off of everyone that he can touch He said he only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash He's not somebody that you play around with much Miss Delilah is his, a Philistine is what she is She'll do wondrous works with your fate Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bed If you don't mind sleepin' with your head face down in a grave. Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down Ain't no goin' back Well they'll choose a man for you to meet tonight You'll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors How to enter into the gates of paradise No, how to carry a burden too heavy to be yours Yeah, from the stage they'll be tryin' to get water outta rocks A whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in Sing "Amazing Grace" all the way to the Swiss banks Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down Ain't no goin' back They got some beautiful people out there, man They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your tongue They got mystery written all over their forehead They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young They don't believe in mercy Judgment on them is something that you'll never see They can exalt you up or bring you down main route Turn you into anything that they want you to be Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down Ain't no goin' back Yes, I guess I loved him too I can still see him in my mind climbin' that hill Did he make it to the top, well he probably did and dropped Struck down by the strength of the will Ain't nothin' left here partner, just the dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid From now on, this'll be where you're from Let the dead bury the dead. Your time will come Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade Well, there ain't no goin' back when your foot of pride come down Ain't no goin' back  This message was edited by LunaBabe on 10-13-01 @ 4:21 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan (Blood On The Tracks) 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved. Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed. Just to think that it all began on a non-eventful morn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose. I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range I used to care, but things have changed | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | By special request... "There must be some kind of way out of here," said the joker to the thief, "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessmen they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line know what any of it is worth" "No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that and this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late" All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | I dunno...it looks like I'm the only hard-core Dylan fan here, but this new album is spectacular. Bob Dylan (Love & Theft) Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee They're throwing knives into the tree Two big bags of dead men's bones They've got their noses to the grind stones Living in the Land of Nod Trusting their fate to the hands of God They pass by so silently Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Well, they're going to the country, they're going to retire They're taking a streetcar named desire Looking at a window with a pecan pie Lot of things they'd like they will never buy Neither of them want to turn and run And make a noise/voyage to the sun. "His master's voice is calling me," Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum I have more than some They walk among the stately trees They know the secrets of the breeze Tweedle Dum said to Tweedle Dee, "Your presence is obnoxious to me, Feel like a baby sitting on a woman's knee." Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Well, the rain beat down on a window pane I got love for you, and it's all in vain Brains in the pot, they're beginning to boil They're dripping with garlic and olive oil Tweedle Dee is on his hands and his knees Saying, "Throw me something, Mister, please!" "What's good for you is good for me," Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee. Well, they're living in a happy harmony Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee They're one day older and a dollar short They got a parade permit and a police escort They're lying low and they're making hay They seem determined to go all the way They got a brick and tile company Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Well, a childish dream is a deathless need And the noble truth is a sacred creed My pretty baby, she's looking around She's wearing a multi-thousand dollar gown Tweedle Dee is a low-down sorry old man Tweedle Dum, he'll stab you where you stand "I've had too much of your company," Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range I used to care, but things have changed | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan (The Essential Bob Dylan & Wonderboys Soundtrack) A worried man with a worried mind No one in front of me and nothing behind There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne Got white skin, got assassin's eyes I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train Bridge #1: Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose Chorus People are crazy and times are strange I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range I used to care, but things have changed This place ain't doing me any good I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood Just for a second there I thought I saw something move Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove Bridge #2 Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through (chorus) I've been walking forty miles of bad road If the bible is right, the world will explode I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can Some things are too hot to touch The human mind can only stand so much You can't win with a losing hand Bridge #3 Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street (chorus) I hurt easy, I just don't show it You can hurt someone and not even know it The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity Gonna get low down, gonna fly high All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me Bridge #4 Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake I'm not that eager to make a mistake (chorus) I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range I used to care, but things have changed | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan (Love & Theft) Every step of the way, we walk the line Your days are numbered, so are mine Time is piling up, we struggle and we scrape We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape. City's just a jungle, more games to play Trapped in the heart of it, trying to get away I was raised in the country, I been working in the town I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down Got nothing for you, I had nothing before Don't even have anything for myself anymore Sky full of fire, paint pouring down Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around. All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong, Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well, the devil's in the alley, mule’s in the stall Say anything you want to, I have heard it all I was thinking about the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie’s bed Walking through the leaves falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger, nobody sees So many things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too. Some people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night I knew you, tonight I don't I need something strong to distract my mind I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind Well, I got here following the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long. Well, my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it’s free I got nothing but affection for those who’ve sailed with me Everybody moving, if they ain't already there Everybody got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow, Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know the fortune is waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say you'll be mine Now the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long  | ||||

Bob Dylan (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan) It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter, anyhow An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal I can't hear you any more I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I give her my heart but she wanted my soul But don't think twice, it's all right I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | :-)Dylan Does Jazz! :-) Summer Days Bob Dylan * LOVE & THEFT Summer days, summer nights are gone, Summer days and summer nights are gone, I know a place where there’s still somethin’ goin’ on. I got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mud, I got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mud, I got a long-haired woman, she got Royal Indian blood. Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing, Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing, Well, I’m standin’ on the table, I’m proposin’ a toast to the king. Well, I’m drivin’ in the flats in a Cadillac car; The girls all say, "You’re a worn out star!" My pockets are loaded and I’m spendin’ every dime. How can you say you love someone else, You know it’s me all the time. Well, the fog’s so thick you can’t spy the land, The fog’s so thick that you can’t even spy the land, What good are you anyway if you can’t stand up to some old businessman. Weddin’ bells are ringin’ and the choir is beginnin’ to sing, Yes, the weddin’ bells are ringin’ and the choir’s beginnin’ to sing, What looks good in the day, at night is another thing. She’s lookin’ into my eyes, and she’s a-holdin’ my hand, She lookin’ into my eyes, she’s holdin’ my hand, She says, "You can’t repeat the past," I say "You can’t? What do you mean you can’t? Of course, you can.†"Where do you come from?" "Where do you go?" Sorry, that is nothin’ you would need to know. Well, my back’s been to the wall so long, it seems like it's stuck. Why don’t you break my heart one more time just for good luck? I got eight carburettors and, boys, I’m usin’ ‘em all, Well, I got eight carburettors and, boys, I’m usin’ ‘em all, I’m short on gas, my motor’s startin’ to stall. My dogs are barkin’, there must be someone around, My dogs are barkin’, there must be someone around, I got my hammer ringin’, pretty baby, but the nails ain’t goin’ down. If you got somethin’ to say, speak or hold your peace, Well, you got somethin’ to say, speak now or hold your peace, If it’s information you want, you can get it from the police. Politician’s got on his joggin’ shoes, He must be runnin’ for office, got no time to lose, Suckin’ the blood out of the genius of generosity. You been a-rollin’ your eyes, you been teasin’ me. Standing by God's river, my soul’s beginnin’ to shake, Standing by God's river, my soul’s beginnin’ to shake, I’m countin’ on you, love, to give me a break. Well, I’m leavin’ in the mornin’ as soon as the dark clouds lift, Yes! I’m leavin’ in the mornin’ just as soon as the dark clouds lift, Gonna break in the roof, set fire to the place as a parting gift. Summer days, summer nights are gone, Summer days, summer nights are gone, I know a place where there’s still somethin’ goin’ on. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Dylan does it in a Sinatra-esque style and does it very well, too, I might add.:-) Bob Dylan (Love & Theft) By and by, I’m breathing a lover’s sigh. Well, I’m sitting on my watch So I can be on time I’m singing love’s praises With sugar-coated rhymes. By and by, On you I’m casting my eye. I’m paintin’ the town, Swingin’ my partner around. Well, I know [who] I can depend on, I know who to trust I’m watchin’ the roads, I’m studying the dust I'm paintin' the town Making my last go round. Well, I’m scuffling, and I’m shuffling And I’m walking on briars I’m not even acquainted with my own desires I’m rollin’ slow, I’m doing all I know. I’m telling myself, I’ve found true happiness That I’ve still got a dream that hasn’t been repossessed I’m rollin' slow Going where the wild roses grow. Well, the future for me Is already a thing of the past You were my first love And you will be my last. Papa gone mad, Mama, she’s feeling sad. Well, I’m gonna baptize you in fire So you can sin no more I’m gonna establish my rule Through civil war Gonna make you see Just how loyal and true a man can be | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan (Love & Theft) Well, I had to go down to see a guy named Mr Goldsmith Nasty, dirty, double-crossing, back-stabbing, phony; I didn't want to have to deal with But I did it for you and all you gave me was a smile Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile I don't carry dead weight, I'm no flash in the pan All right, I'll set you straight, can't you see I'm a union man I'm letting the cat out of the cage, I'm keeping a low profile Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile Feel like a fighting rooster, feel better than I ever felt But the Pennsylvania Line in an awful mess and the Denver road's about to melt I went to a Church house, every day I go an extra mile Well, I cried for you, now your turn, you can cry awhile Last night, 'cross the alley, there was a pounding on the wall It must have been Don Pasquale making a 2 a.m. booty call To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry awhile I'm on the fringes of the night, fighting back tears that I can't control Some people they ain't human, they got no heart or soul But I'm crying to the Lord, trying to be meek and mild Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile Well the preacher's in the pulpit and the babies in their cribs I'm longing for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs But I'm gonna buy me a barrel of whisky, I'll die before I turn senile Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile Well, you bet on the horse, and it ran the wrong way I always said you'd be sorry and today could be the day I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trail Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan (Oh Mercy) Most of the time I'm clear focused all around, Most of the time I can keep both feet on the ground, I can follow the path, I can read the signs, Stay right with it, when the road unwinds, I can handle whatever I stumble upon, I don't even notice she's gone, Most of the time. Most of the time It's well understood, Most of the time I wouldn't change it if I could, I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own, I can deal with the situation right down to the bone, I can survive, I can endure And I don't even think about her Most of the time. Most of the time My head is on straight, Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate. I don't build up illusion 'till it makes me sick, I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick I can smile in the face of mankind. Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine Most of the time. Most of the time She ain't even in my mind, I wouldn't know her if I saw her She's that far behind. Most of the time I can't even be sure If she was ever with me Or if I was with her. Most of the time I'm halfway content, Most of the time I know exactly where I went, I don't cheat on myself, I don't run and hide, Hide from the feelings, that are buried inside, I don't compromised and I don't pretend, I don't even care if I ever see her again Most of the time.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan * Love & Theft Down over the window Come the dazzling sunlit rays Through the back alleys, through the blinds, Another one of them endless days. Honey bees are buzzing Leaves begin to stir I’m in love with my second cousin I tell myself I could be happy forever with her. I keep listening for footsteps, But I ain’t ever hearing any. From the boat, I fish for bullheads I catch a lot, sometimes too many. A summer breeze is blowin’, A squall is setting in. Sometimes it’s just plain stupid To get into any kind of wind. Well, the old men around here Sometimes they get on bad terms With the younger men, Old, young; age don’t carry weight It doesn’t matter in the end One of the boss' hangers-on Sometimes comes to call At times you least expect Try to bully you, strongarm you Inspire you with fear It has the opposite effect There’s a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town The old one - long gone Timber two foot, six across Burns with the bark still on They say times are hard If you don’t believe it you can follow your nose It don’t bother me, times are hard everywhere We’ll just have to see how it goes. My old man he’s like some feudal lord Got more lives than a cat. I’ve never seen him quarrel with my mother even once Things come alive or they fall flat. You can smell the pine wood burning You can hear the school-bell ring. Got to get up near the teacher, if you can If you wanna learn anything. Romeo, he said to Juliet, "You got a poor complexion It don’t give you an appearance of a youthful touch." Juliet said back to Romeo, "Why don’t you just shove off If it bothers you so much." They got out of here any way they could Cold rain can give you the shivers They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee, All the rest of them rebel rivers. If you ever try to interfere with me Or cross my path again, You do so at the peril of your own life. I’m not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound I’ve seen enough heartaches and strife. My grandfather was a duck trapper He could do it with just dragnets and ropes My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth, I don’t know if they had any dreams or hopes. I had 'em once though I suppose To go along with all the ring dancing, Christmas Carols on all the Christmas Eves I left all my dreams and hopes Buried under tobacco leaves Not always easy kicking someone out Got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up And tears or not it’s too much to ask. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | For my beloved noble beast, The Rott'n Dawg with the Wiley smile. Bob Dylan (Empire Burlesque) I'll remember you When I've forgotten all the rest, You to me were true, You to me were the best. When there is no more, You cut to the core Quicker than anyone I knew. When I'm all alone In the great unknown, I'll remember you. I'll remember you At the end of the trail, I had so much left to do, I had so little time to fail. There's some people that You don't forget, Even though you've only seen'm One time or two. When the roses fade And I'm in the shade, I'll remember you. Didn't I, didn't I try to love you? Didn't I, didn't I try to care? Didn't I sleep, didn't I weep beside you With the rain blowing in your hair? I'll remember you When the wind blows through the piney wood. It was you who came right through, It was you who understood. Though I'd never say That I done it the way That you'd have liked me to. In the end, My dear sweet friend, I'll remember you. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Sugar Baby Bob Dylan*Love & Theft I got my back to the sun 'cause the light is too intense. I can see what everybody in the world is up against. Can't turn back, you can't come back, sometimes we push too far One day you'll open up your eyes and you'll see where we are. Sugar baby, get on down the road, yeah, you ain't got no brains, nohow, You went years without me; might as well keep going now. Some of these bootleggers, they make pretty good stuff. Plenty of places to hide things here if you want to hide 'em bad enough. I'm staying with Aunt Sally, but you know she not really my Aunt Some of these mem'ries you can learn to live with and some of 'em you can't. Sugar baby, get on down the line, ya ain't got no brains, nohow, You went years without me; you might as well keep going now. The ladies down in Darktown, they're doing the Darktown strut You always got to be prepared, but you never know for what There ain't no limit to the amount of trouble women bring Love is pleasing, love is teasing, love - not an evil thing. Sugar baby, get on down the road, ain't got no brains, nohow You went years without me; might as well keep going now. Every moment of existence seems like some dirty trick Happiness can come suddenly and leave just as quick Any minute of the day the bubble can burst Try to make things better for someone sometimes you just end up making it a thousand times worse. Sugar baby, get on down the road, ain't got no brains, nohow You went years without me; might as well keep going now Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one You got a way of tearing the world apart, love, see what you've done Just as sure as we're living, just as sure as you're born, Look up, look up, seek your Maker, 'fore Gabriel blows his horn Sugar baby, get on down the line, you ain't got no sense, nohow You went years without me; might as well keep going now  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Dylan - Empire Burlesque Well, I thought that the rain would cool things down But it looks like it don't. I'd like to get you to change your mind But it looks like you won't. From now on I'll be busy, Ain't goin' nowhere fast. I'm just glad it's over And I'm seeing the real you at last. Well, didn't I risk my neck for you, Didn't I take chances? Didn't I rise above it all for you, The most unfortunate circumstances? Well, I have had some rotten nights, Didn't think that they would pass. I'm just thankful and grateful To be seeing the real you at last. I'm hungry and I'm irritable And I'm tired of this bag of tricks. At one time there was nothing wrong with me That you could not fix. Well, I sailed through the storm Strapped to the mast, But the time has come And I'm seeing the real you at last. When I met you, baby, You didn't show no visible scars. You could ride like Annie Oakley, You could shoot like Belle Starr. Well, I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble, Trouble always comes to pass But all I care about now Is that I'm seeing the real you at last. Well, I'm gonna quit this baby talk now, I guess I should have known. I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles, I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone. Whatever you gonna do, Please do it fast. I'm still trying to get used to Seeing the real you at last. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy Crickets are chirpin', the water is high, There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry, Window wide open, African trees Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze. Not a word of goodbye, note even a note, She gone with the man In the long black coat. Somebody seen him hanging around At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town, He looked into her eyes when she stopped to ask If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask. Somebody said from the Bible he'd quote There was dust on the man In the long black coat. Preacher was a talkin' there's a sermon he gave, He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved, You cannot depend on it to be your guide When it's you who must keep it satisfied. It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat, She gave her heart to the man In the long black coat. There are no mistakes in life some people say It is true sometimes you can see it that way. But people don't live or die, people just float. She went with the man In the long black coat. There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June, Tree trunks uprooted, 'neath the high crescent moon Feel the pulse and vibration and the rumbling force Somebody is out there beating the dead horse. She never said nothing there was nothing she wrote, She gone with the man In the long black coat. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde I didn't mean to treat you so bad You shouldn't take it so personal I didn't mean to make you so sad You just happened to be there, that's all When I saw you say "goodbye" to your friends and smile I thought that it was well understood That you'd be comin' back in a little while I didn't know that you were sayin' "goodbye" for good But, sooner or later, one of us must know You just did what you're supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you I couldn't see what you could show me Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid I couldn't see how you could know me But you said you knew me and I believed you did When you whispered in my ear And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her I didn't realize just what I did hear I didn't realize how young you were But, sooner or later, one of us must know You just did what you're supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you I couldn't see when it started snowin' Your voice was all that I heard I couldn't see where we were goin' But you said you knew an' I took your word And then you told me later, as I apologized That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm An' I told you, as you clawed out my eyes That I never really meant to do you any harm But, sooner or later, one of us must know You just did what you're supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan - Infidels Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man, His enemies say he's on their land. They got him outnumbered about a million to one, He got no place to escape to, no place to run. He's the neighborhood bully. The neighborhood bully just lives to survive, He's criticized and condemned for being alive. He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin, He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in. He's the neighborhood bully. The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land, He's wandered the earth an exiled man. Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn, He's always on trial for just being born. He's the neighborhood bully. Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized, Old women condemned him, said he should apologize. Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad. The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad. He's the neighborhood bully. Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him, 'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac. He's the neighborhood bully. He got no allies to really speak of. What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love. He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side. He's the neighborhood bully. Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace, They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease. Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep. They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep. He's the neighborhood bully. Every empire that's enslaved him is gone, Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon. He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand, In bed with nobody, under no one's command. He's the neighborhood bully. Now his holiest books have been trampled upon, No contract he signed was worth what it was written on. He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth, Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health. He's the neighborhood bully. What's anybody indebted to him for? Nothin', they say. He just likes to cause war. Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed, They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed. He's the neighborhood bully. What has he done to wear so many scars? Does he change the course of rivers? Does he pollute the moon and stars? Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill, Running out the clock, time standing still, Neighborhood bully.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan - Live 1966 Down the street the dogs are barkin' And the day is a-gettin' dark. As the night comes in a-fallin', The dogs 'll lose their bark. An' the silent night will shatter From the sounds inside my mind, For I'm one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind. From the crossroads of my doorstep, My eyes they start to fade, As I turn my head back to the room Where my love and I have laid. An' I gaze back to the street, The sidewalk and the sign, And I'm one too many mornings An' a thousand miles behind. It's a restless hungry feeling That don't mean no one no good, When ev'rything I'm a-sayin' You can say it just as good. You're right from your side, I'm right from mine. We're both just one too many mornings An' a thousand miles behind.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | Bob Dylan ~ Oh Mercy What was it you wanted? Tell me again so I'll know. What's happening in there, What's going on in your show. What was it you wanted, Could you say it again? I'll be back in a minute You can get it together by then. What was it you wanted You can tell me, I'm back, We can start it all over Get it back on the track, You got my attention, Go ahead, speak. What was it you wanted When you were kissing my cheek? Was there somebody looking When you give me that kiss Someone there in the shadows Someone that I might have missed? Is there something you needed, Something I don't understand. What was it you wanted, Do I have it here in my hand? Whatever you wanted Slipped out of my mind, Would you remind me again If you'd be so kind. Has the record been breaking, Did the needle just skip, Is there somebody waitin', Was there a slip of the lip? What was it you wanted I ain't keepin' score Are you the same person That was here before? Is it something important? Maybe not. What was it you wanted? Tell me again I forgot. Whatever you wanted What could it be Did somebody tell you That you could get it from me, Is it something that comes natural Is it easy to say, Why do you want it, Who are you anyway? Is the scenery changing, Am I getting it wrong, Is the whole thing going backwards, Are they playing our song? Where were you when it started Do you want it for free What was it you wanted Are you talking to me? | ||||
