Papa, he left home today
Said he ain’t comin’ back again
Said he ain’t gonna be nobody’s second best
Just cause mama’s got a special kind of friend
Papa, he left home today
Said he ain’t comin’ back no more
Said he ain’t gonna take no damn back seat
And how could mama do him so low

But mama’s got a girlfriend now, boy
Mama’s got a girlfriend now
Mama’s got a girlfriend
Mama’s got a true friend
Mama’s got a girlfriend now

You see Mama don’t watch your damn football
And your beer drinkin’ just won’t do
You’re just stayin’ out late
And you’re preachin’ the hate
And you never have been true

You see mama she want her somebody
who will let her be herself
So she’s leavin’ you and your stinky damn ways
cause she’s found somebody else

And Mama’s got a girlfriend now boy
Mama’s got a girlfriend now
Mama’s got a girlfriend
Mama’s found a true friend
Mama’s got a girlfriend now

Papa he left home today
He was wavin’ his hands and cryin’
You could tell by the sound and the tone in his voice
that his heart was slowly dyin’
But mama said “Boy if I ever
catch you round here again
You ain’t never gonna have
nobody else not a woman or a man”

And mama’s got a girlfriend now boy
Mama’s got a girlfriend now
Mama’s got a girlfriend
Mama found a true friend
Mama’s got a girlfriend now
Mama’s got a girlfriend now boy
Mama’s got a girlfriend now
Mama’s got a girlfriend
Mama’s found a true friend
Mama’s got a girlfriend now

Welcome to the cruel world
hope you find your way
welcome to the cruel world
hope you find your way
it’s a cruel world
try to enjoy your stay
Yes it is a cruel world
when you’re tryin’ to get by
it’s a cruel world
when you’ve seen the look in their eye
makes life hard living
but I’m so scared to die

Welcome to the cruel world
welcome
welcome

Don’t know how
we’ve lasted here so long
there must be more good than bad
or we’d already be gone
and if you get up to Heaven
before I do
I’m gonna tell ya
It’s gonna be cruel there too

You can’t hide from this cruel world
cause there is no place to run
you can’t hide from the cruel world
there just is no place to run
it’s been cruel from the beginning
it will be cruel when we’re done

So when I’m gone
I will gladly say goodbye
when I am gone
I will gladly say goodbye
and if you want to feel me
put your hands up to the sky

Welcome to the cruel world
welcome
welcome
hope you find your way
try to enjoy your stay

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned
I’ll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

Here I have been standing
While the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you
But you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed on my reflections
But inside still just a child
But inside still just a child

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

These eyes weren’t made for crying
This love wasn’t made to waste
These arms weren’t made for battle
But to share in your embrace
But to share in your embrace

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

You so easily amuse
like a pantomime
such a silent crime
You so easily abuse
lack of confidence
it’s your best offense

You so easily confuse
you can’t deny it
still you try to hide it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there’s no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

You so hastily defy
when you think you need it
you find a way to bleed it

You so hastily deny
pleading innocence
it’s your best defense

You so hastily reply
the moment that you said it
already regret it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there’s no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

(by Led Zeppelin)

Well, I’m a voodoo chile
Lord I’m a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out “lord, the gypsy was right!”
And I seen her fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin’
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its’ the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch’s ring
Hey!
And he said “Fly on, fly on”
Because I’m a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows you’ll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
‘Cause I’m a million miles away
And at the same time I’m right here in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
‘Cause I’m a voodoo chile
Lord knows I’m a voodoo chile

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm…

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,
Way down in California
And the n New York drowns as we hold hands

‘Cause I’m a voodoo chile
Lord knows I’m a voodoo chile
Yeah!

Could have sworn I heard you say amen this morning
Showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels
I guess I bring the devil out in you
But we can both remove our haloes
‘Cos even an angel needs love too
Even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me

Some things never change
Some things never stay the same
But you are so innocent
I’ll take all the blame
How I hate to remember
For that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her
Or if I really need to ask
Or if I really need to ask

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

Half man walks with no shadow
Of life he utters his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in is his face
Love carved sorry in is his face

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

I could give you more
But you still wouldn’t be happy
I could give all you need
But you still wouldn’t be satisfied
I could give till I were poor
Now what good could that be?
You’d shake hands with Jesus
And you still would not believe
If you’re happy with nothing you’ll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you’ll be pleased

I could change your mind
But what would you really be thinking
I’d show you a sign
But you’d just pass it on by
I could hold your hand
But then we’d both be sinking
The problem with the world is everone’s not just like you

If you’re happy with nothing you’ll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you’ll be pleased
The more you’ll be pleased

If you’re happy with nothing you’ll be so very happy with me
If you’re happy with nothing you’ll be so very happy with me
If you’re happy with nothing you’ll be so very happy with me
So happy with nothing, so happy with me

First time that I saw her
She had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Time makes lonely drifts into the past, into the past
And finds a home where all echoes rest, echoes rest
She softly kissed my mind, my mind
And whispered: “What will we do with time, do with time?”

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Another man I choosed to be, choosed to be,
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Another man I want to be, I want to be
And this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle
That cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running
As if I’ve lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying
Tears I don’t deserve
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you’ve done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Is this really living
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Or is it just a kind of gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you to hold

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you’ve done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave reason to believe
So as it stands
I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you’ve done
Whooo, Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you’ve done
Whooo, Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb
