lyrics version 1
My brother just flew in from America [Spoken, Randy Stonehill]
Woo
Will you all welcome Larry Norman [Spoken]
One two three and four [Spoken]
I woke up in the morning I said a morning prayer
I washed my face with soap, I ran my fingers through my hair
I went down to the studio on Hollywood and Vine
The clock said seven thirty well I made it just in time
I greeted the musicians, I grabbed the nearest chair
I started playing my guitar and told the engineer
C'mon (c'mon) let the tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon let the tape keep rolling, c'mon c'mon c'mon
Well the first song that we cut was called "Lonely By Myself"
I'll do the vocal later you can leave it on the shelf
The second song we cut was called "No More LSD"
The session's getting better I'm as happy as can be
The last song took us seven takes the first one took us ten
Let's take it from the top and give it all we've got
C'mon (c'mon) let the tape keep rolling [x3]
C'mon (c'mon) I can't hear you
C'mon (c'mon) let the tape keep rolling
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon ??
Do you hear me singing on your record machine
The piano's banging, the guitar's twanging
The water cooler's clanging, the light bulb's hanging
The music's playing, the production's clean
Cross fade all the tracks don't leave no spaces in between
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape c'mon c'mon
(C'mon) let that tape keep rolling
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling [x2]
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling
C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
I started out ten years ago my guitar in my hand
I took the message in my heart an' played it with a band
I went down to Capitol Records to record Upon This Rock
I wanted to say something, I just let the music talk
I know where I'm going, I know who I must be
I don't care how long it takes, there's lots of things to see
C'mon (c'mon) let your life keep rolling
C'mon (c'mon) let your faith keep growing
C'mon (c'mon) let your love keep showing
C'mon (c'mon) and let the, get going
C'mon get that good news going

C'mon let that tape keep rolling (c'mon) let it roll (c'mon)
Do you hear me singing on your record machine
The piano's banging, the guitar's twanging
The water cooler's clanging, the light bulb's hanging
Yes the music's playing, the production's clean
Cross fade all the tracks, don't leave no spaces in between
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling, c'mon (c'mon) c'mon c'mon (c'mon) c'mon, c'mon
Hehehe

(C'mon) (Ba ba ba da ba) [x3]
(C'mon)
Well I started out ten years ago, my guitar in my hand
I took the music in my heart and played it with a band
I went down to the Tower to record Upon This Rock
I sang it like I felt it, I just let the music talk
I know where I am going and I know who I must be
Don't care how long it takes because there's lots of things to see
C'mon let that tape keep rolling, c'mon let that love keep flowing
C'mon let your faith keep growing, c'mon get that good news going
C'mon let your light keep shining, c'mon be careful what you're signing
C'mon (c'mon) let that love keep flowing
C'mon (c'mon) c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon (C'mon, c'mon)
Aoww (C'mon, c'mon) heheheh (C'mon, c'mon)
Oh yeah alright alright (C'mon, c'mon c'mon c'mon)

He come up to my room
He knock on my door
He come into my heart
He make me feel so good
So good, so good, so good, so tough
I'm going home
I'm going home bou bou bou bou bou
Bou bou bou bou bou
Back home bou bou bou bou
Back home
He'll come down, make you feel alright
Like a thief in the middle of the night

C'mon let that tape keep rolling

lyrics version 7
Yeah ah yeah
Well I woke up in the morning, I said a morning prayer
I washed my face with soap, I ran my fingers through my hair
I went down to the studio, ??? go to work
The clock said seven thirty, I made it just in time
I greeted the musicians, I grabbed the nearest chair
I started playing my guitar and told the engineer
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling, c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
First song that we cut was called "Lonely By Myself"
I'll do the vocal later, you can just leave it on the shelf
The second song we cut was called "Unlucky Blues"
Yeah the session's getting better now, we're turning on the juice
The first song took us seven takes, the last one took us ten
If Jesus came down right now I wonder who'd get in
C'mon (c'mon) let that faith keep growing [x5]
Let it grow, let it grow
Do you hear me singing, singing on your record machine
The piano's banging, the guitar's twanging
The water cooler's clanging, light bulb's hanging
Yes the music's playing, the production's clean
Cross fade all the tracks, don't leave no spaces in between
C'mon (c'mon)
I said c'mon (c'mon)

Hello [Spoken]
Well I woke up in the morning, I said a morning prayer

“Filmed by Tony Tew for a BBC Television documentary, this live 1979 performance took place on the main stage of England's Greenbelt Festival in the years before Larry was permanently banned by the Greenbelt Committee for talking openly about Jesus during his 1984 appearance with The Young Lions. His response was simple and direct: “If I'm not going to deny Jesus at the End of the Age when they take us into the courts and put us into prison and torture us, then I'm certainly not going to deny Him on the main stage of a Christian festival.”” - Referring to version 1
The whole point of the album Something New Under The Son is that there is nothing new under the sun, it's all been done or said before. The album is littered with references to other songs. The 'He come walking down my street' section is based on part of the song Gloria, written by Van Morrison
The lines 'When the Lord gets ready / You got to move' is from the song You Gotta Move, written by Fred McDowell and Reverend Gary Davis. The Rolling Stones recorded a cover version on the album Sticky Fingers
The line 'Wanna do it again' is taken from the song Mother's Lament, by Cream
