norman's kitchen
[Go to Song Page]
I got stoned in Norman's kitchen
We was talkin' 'bout the facts of life
He asked me, was I happy
As I reached for the butter knife
I said no and I made a sandwich
And I poured myself a cup o' tea
When that cat started praying
The spirit fell on me
I got up to use the bathroom
I said excuse me please
But I couldn't help laughing
I felt shaky in the knees
As I leaned against the mirror
My heart let out a sigh
Like something heavy left me
And I opened up my eyes
I can see, I am free
And I'm who I wanna be
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me
Woo
I was born in dusty Stockton
And I grew up in San Jose
But I never started living
Until I learned to pray
Now my parents, they ignore me
They say I've gotten strange
But where you're touched by heaven
You know that something's bound to chan' [Mispronounces 'change']
Well I can see yes, I am free
And I'm who I want to be
Mercy me, mercy me, (ah) mercy me

Larry arranged and produced the album, co-wrote some of the songs, and performs piano, organ, mouth claves and harmonies Born Twice follows the same format as Larry's own Street Level, with one side recorded live and the other in the studio. Both albums (and much of Bootleg) were recorded during the same sessions and using the same musicians - Fred Bova, Glenn Selwitz and Hilly Michaels. Larry dubbed the band 'White Light' |

dear malcolm, dear alwyn
[Go to Song Page]
Dear Malcolm, dear Alwyn
You're my favorite singers in England
And I love you so much
You got the holy spirit's touch
You're much more than just a two man band
I got a memo from Turner
He's a poet, I'm a learner
And he says you're coming back to L.A.
So I'll see you when you land
I'll hope your schedule's not too plan
I know you can't, but I wish you could stay
I miss you my friends
I think about you all the time
You're so far away
Well I hope you're feeling fine
Beware of the snakes and the robbers and the fakes
And the guys who want to take a percent
You don't need them anymore
God is gonna close that door
It's getting time to pack up your tent
Dear Malcolm (dear Malcolm), dear Alwyn (dear Alwyn)
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

And your songs are so simple
But they take me to the temple
I guess I'm just your number one fan

Dear Malcolm, Dear Alwyn is here denoted as being from the album In Another Land. Evidently, the song was at one time planned to appear on that album, or at least Word Records believed so. In Another Land was released in 1976, and did not contain this song. A Jubilation! songbook was also available

Salvation Air Force - Strangers In A Strange Land [1978, Myrrh MSB-6612, US]
if god is my father
If God is my father
And you are my brother
Then why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another
Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other
It must break his heart in two
Once we were happy
Oh yes, once in the garden
But then a lie broke the stillness
And our hearts began to harden
And hoping to be wiser man has reached too far
Sometimes I think that we're advanced
But then I look at where we are
And oh I cry
I feel like crying [x2]
Why do we argue
Why are there so many churches
With half of them empty
Some represent a million dollar purchase
What happened to the message given by our lord
To take his gospel to the streets
And share our money with the poor
Learn to love
Love is the greatest thing
Learn to love
Love is the greatest thing
Open up your heart
And learn to let your spirit sing
Just concentrate on Jesus
And forget your sin
Get ready for your new life
'Cause he's coming back again
So learn to love
Love is the greatest thing
Learn to love
Love is the greatest thing
Learn to love, you've got to learn to love [x2]
(You've got to learn to love) Learn to love (You've got to learn to love) [x4]
Learn to love (You've got to learn to love)
You've got to learn to love (You've got to learn to love) [x2]
Learn to love (You've got to learn to love)
(You've got to) Learn to love (You've got to learn to love) [x2]
And you are my brother
Then why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another
Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other
It must break his heart in two
Once we were happy
Oh yes, once in the garden
But then a lie broke the stillness
And our hearts began to harden
And hoping to be wiser man has reached too far
Sometimes I think that we're advanced
But then I look at where we are
And oh I cry

Why do we argue
Why are there so many churches
With half of them empty

This album had already been recorded - produced by Dana Angle - when the band signed with Larry's Solid Rock label in February 1977. Due to a 'rule' that all Solid Rock albums were to be produced by Larry, it was arranged for this to be released via Myrrh instead, with plans for their second album to be on Solid Rock. Whilst this should have been released in 1977, various delays, partly blamed on Larry's 1977 world tour, led to it not appearing until August 1978
Adding Larry's song If God Is My Father was a last minute decision, and it is the only track in which Larry actually had any involvement. The basic track had already been recorded by Larry, over which Donnie Gossett added vocals. Jon Linn, Tom Howard and Randy Stonehill also recorded on the track, and John Pantano (of Pantano-Salsbury), who was in the studio recording their Solid Rock album Hit The Switch at the time, contributed a guitar solo
It is difficult to be sure whether this album or Larry's own Australian self titled release was intended to be the first release containing a full length version of If God Is My Father, but despite many fans believing it was the first, the aforementioned delays led to Strangers In A Strange Land appearing about a year after Larry Norman. The story of the delay is humorously told here

Due to a few incorrect assumptions and oversights, and a failure to send a proof for the band to review, Larry made several errors in the liner notes

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 went down to Capitol Records to record Upon This Rock

I don't care how long it takes, there's lots of things to see

So with fear and trembling work your salvation out
Everybody work
Everybody work
There are ten commandments, now get this straight
If you keep the first two you'll fulfil the other eight
Everybody work
Everybody work
There's tension between the brothers and the sisters
People need to get along
Open up your hearts to one another
And learn to sing this song
Holy spirit will touch your soul
Stand still, don't rock and roll
Everybody work
Everybody work work work work
If your woman walks out, starts messing about
You must pray for her safety, 'til she works it out
Obedience is better than sacrifice
If you don't die once then you're gonna die twice
Holy spirit make you move about
So with fear and trembling work your salvation out
Everybody work work
Yeah everybody work work work work
(Work work) The spirit is willing
(Work work) But the flesh is weak
And if you're holding (work work) back
It's hard to hear (work work) God speak
Everybody work work work work

People didn't wanna know (work work)
Went to the church (work) and he said this is wrong (work work)

Love one another (work work), love one another (work work), love one another (work work)

stop this flight
[Go to Song Page]
Sixteen hours to London
You know I'm flying on a DC-10
I wonder if when that plane sets down
I'll ever be able to walk again
I spent thirty five days in Europe
Singing 'til my voice is gone
You know there's never time enough to get a good night's sleep
What is this road that I keep running on
I've got to stop this flight
I've got to get back to earth
Hey, I'm a human being
God knows what that's worth
I'm not meant to be trapped on some smoky stage
And end up lonely in my old age
I've got to stop
People try to twist your message
Reporters try to twist your mind
And I just can't wait 'til I can get back home
I really miss that girl of mine
She's the only one I really (can) talk to
She's where my heart begins and ends
It ain't no lust or money relationship, uh uh
We were teenage buddies, childhood friend
I got to stop this flight
Yeah hey I got to get back to earth
Hey, I'm a human being
Only God knows what that's worth
Yeah
I could be dancing like some mover on a empty stage
But I'll be risen from this prison at the end of the age
Woo yeah
Hey
I'm always locked up in the studio
Hey, this ain't no way to live
You know they never like my records 'til the albums sell
They always want more than I can possibly give
I keep struggling for inspiration (Ha ha hu [Under breath])
Hoping that the songs don't flop
And I keep waiting like the beggar for the option to drop
You've got to live up to the contract 'til they tell you to stop
You've got to stop this flight
That's right, get back to earth
Hey, we are human beings
Only God knows what that's worth
Yeah yeah yeah
We're not meant to be trapped in this fleshly cage
And end up screaming like a demon at the end of the age yeah
You've got to stop your flight
You know what I'm talking about
You've got to stop this flight
Stop running around
(Stop this flight) And get your feet on the ground
(Stop this flight) You've got to stop it, stop it, stop it
(Stop this flight) You know who you are
You know what you're supposed to do
(Stop this flight) You've got to stop this flight
You've got to (Stop this flight)

Iron and steel
[Go to Song Page]
Something brings us life when buried in the earth
Deep inside the dark solid ground
Something in the way that love has given birth
With fire flying all around
Iron and steel strike it together
Iron and steel see what is made
Iron and steel sharp and shining
Metal on metal like a cutting blade ooh ooh yeah
It's so nice when we're seeing eye to eye
When in everything we both agree
But differences will happen no matter how we try
And maybe this is meant to be
Iron and steel strike it together
Iron and steel see what is made
Iron and steel sharp and shining
Metal on metal like a cutting blade
Tested in the furnace
Buried in the burning coal
Its life is pounded, beaten
Rhythm of a hammer load
Woah oh
One day we'll be cleansed of all impurity
And we'll be nothing like we were before
We'll be tested for the fight and take the victory
Like weapons in a holy war
Iron and steel strike it together
Iron and steel see what is made
Iron and steel it's sharp and shining
Metal on metal on metal its just like cutting blade
(Iron and steel) Woh-oh strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it together, strike it together
(Iron and steel) Strike it strike it strike it strike it
(Iron and steel) Iron sharpens iron, so does a friend
(Iron and steel) Sharpen the friendship of another friend
(Iron and steel) If you'll be true and honest and open hearted
(Iron and steel) You'll be friends till the end
(Iron and steel) Why can't we get along
(Iron and steel) Everything we do is criticise
(Iron and steel) Everything I do seems to be wrong
(Iron and steel) At least the way you're looking through your eyes
(Iron and steel) Friend to friend, what's happened what's happened
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
Iron and steel You say you love me I can see it in your eyes
(Iron and steel) That your smiling face is a shallow disguise
(Iron and steel) Iron and steel
(Iron and steel) Like iron sharpens iron brother
(Iron and steel) What happened
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
(Iron and steel) What happened to our friendship brother
(Iron and steel) Brother you should tell me 'cos I don't know
(Iron and steel) You disappeared where did you go
Something brings us life when buried in the earth
Deep inside the dark solid ground
Something in the way that love has given birth
With fire flying all around
Iron and steel strike it together
Iron and steel see what is made
Iron and steel sharp and shining
Metal on metal like a cutting blade ooh ooh yeah

The Cause - Do Something Now, Compassion International / Sparrow SGL 1110 [1985]
do something now
Do we see Jesus in their hungry eyes
Are we so numb that we can't sympathise [Larry and Amy Grant sing this line]
Maybe we're too willing just to eulogize
Instead of rolling up our sleeves and trying
To resurrect a world that's dying
Oh ho we got a world that's dying
Down in Ethiopia a silent baby clings to an empty breast
Ooh ooh ooh down in Ethiopia another cries for food or eternal rest
We can touch somebody
Reach out with love to a helpless face
Everybody is our brother and sister
Reach out and be an agent of grace
Do something now
See their broken lives, pick up the pieces
Do something now
Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus
If we really care, we'll do something now
Here in Utopia they're just another item in the news tonight
Wake up America, they're dying while we're dreaming about paradise
We can touch somebody
Reach out with love to a helpless face
Everybody is our brother and sister
Reach out and be an agent of grace
Do something now
See their broken lives, pick up the pieces
Do something now
Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus
If we really care, we'll do something
You gotta do something
Jesus said
When you do it for one of these
You've done it unto me
When one hurts, we all hurt
'Cause we're a family
There's a blessing when we sacrifice
You got to give yourself away
To save one more life
Just one more life
You can save one more life
Do something now
See their broken lives, pick up the pieces
Do something now
Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus
Are we so numb that we can't sympathise [Larry and Amy Grant sing this line]
Maybe we're too willing just to eulogize
Instead of rolling up our sleeves and trying
To resurrect a world that's dying
Oh ho we got a world that's dying
Down in Ethiopia a silent baby clings to an empty breast
Ooh ooh ooh down in Ethiopia another cries for food or eternal rest
We can touch somebody
Reach out with love to a helpless face
Everybody is our brother and sister
Reach out and be an agent of grace
Do something now
See their broken lives, pick up the pieces
Do something now
Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus
If we really care, we'll do something now
Here in Utopia they're just another item in the news tonight
Wake up America, they're dying while we're dreaming about paradise
We can touch somebody
Reach out with love to a helpless face
Everybody is our brother and sister
Reach out and be an agent of grace
Do something now
See their broken lives, pick up the pieces
Do something now
Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus
If we really care, we'll do something
You gotta do something
Jesus said
When you do it for one of these
You've done it unto me
When one hurts, we all hurt
'Cause we're a family
There's a blessing when we sacrifice
You got to give yourself away
To save one more life

You can save one more life

Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus

in the world
[Go to Song Page]
We are in the world but not of the world [x2]
Yes
We are set apart (set apart) to live our lives in the light (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
We were born as slaves but now the king has set us free
And we walk as messengers among the enemy
We have made a choice to obey his voice
And to live each day in such a way that all can see
We are in the world but not of the world [x2]
We are set apart (set apart) to live our lives behind the light (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
We were children in the darkness, now we've seen the light
And like dreamers have awakened from the endless night
We must walk in faith and learn to run the race
And encourage one another to fight the fight
We are in the world but not of the world [x2]
We are set apart (set apart) to live our lives in the light (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
When the son of God was born it was not as a king
And he lived each day and faced whatever life would bring
Though he walked with men he did not sin
And he carried out his father's will in everything
He was in the world but not of the world
We are in the world but not of the world
We are set apart (set apart) to live our lives in the light (Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) (In the light)

Spring Song
[Go to Song Page]
You said let there be light in the heavens
You hung the stars up so high
And you put the fish in the ocean
You put the birds in the sky
I walk through the fields
And see life all around
A carpet of green springing out of the ground
Winter is gone and here is the son
The trees wave goodbye to the winter
Their bare arms stretch out in the air
The snow from the mountains is melting
And flowers appear everywhere
For you are the creator
Of heaven and earth
And spring tells the story
Of hope and new birth
Life must end to bloom once again
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La dum do do na ETC
The chatter of birds in the treetops
The scurry of life on the ground
Rise with the son
Spring has sprung and I feel young
The sleeping ground has awakened
It's the end of a long winter night
The colours of spring wash the shadows away
While the darkness gives way to the light
Spring chases the cold
Of the Norwegian rain
Like love and forgiveness
Heal sadness and pain
The earth is alive and so am I
You said let there be light in the heavens
You hung the stars up so high
And you put the fish in the ocean
You put the birds in the sky
I walk through the fields
And see life all around
A carpet of green springing out of the ground
Winter is gone and here is the son
The trees wave goodbye to the winter
Their bare arms stretch out in the air
The snow from the mountains is melting
And flowers appear everywhere
For you are the creator
Of heaven and earth
And spring tells the story
Of hope and new birth
Life must end to bloom once again
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La dum do do na ETC
The chatter of birds in the treetops
The scurry of life on the ground
Rise with the son
Spring has sprung and I feel young
The sleeping ground has awakened
It's the end of a long winter night
The colours of spring wash the shadows away
While the darkness gives way to the light
Spring chases the cold
Of the Norwegian rain
Like love and forgiveness
Heal sadness and pain
The earth is alive and so am I

Stop gazing at the moon, look for the son

You'll be there at his side
He'll take you for his bride and lead you to his throne

You're living here and he will take you home
Keep your lamp shining bright

Geoff Moore - All The Good Music, Power Discs [1988]
why should the devil have all the good music
[Go to Song Page]
One two, one two three [Spoken]
Yay
I want the people to know
That he saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say rock and roll is wrong
We'll give you one more chance
I said I feel so good I gotta get up and dance
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
I don't confuse it
All I'm really trying to say is
Why should the devil have all the good music
I feel good every day, I don't wanna lose it
'Cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
They say to cut my hair
They're driving me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
But sometimes people don't understand
What's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band
There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
And if you've got a reason, tell me to my face
Why should the devil have all the good music
And I've been filled, I feel okay
'Cos Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
Oh yes
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that has a beat
I ain't knocking the hymns
Just give me a song that moves my feet
Well I don't like none of them funeral marches
I ain't dead yet
Ow
Aaaaw
[Larry sings the next verse]
Jesus told the truth
An’ Jesus showed the way
And there's one more thing I'd like to say
They nailed him to the cross
And they laid him in the ground
But they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down
I feel good every day [Geoff]
I don't wanna lose it [Larry]
All I wanna, all I wanna, all I wanna say is
Why should the devil have all the good music [Both]
I've been filled, an' I feel okay
'Cos Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues [Geoff]
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues [Larry]
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away [Geoff]
Ay-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-ay yeah-ah-ah
Woo
Yay, hahaha [Larry]

sweet dreams
[Go to Song Page]
What about Cinderella and her glass shoe
She lived happily ever after
Yeah but none of it is true
What about king Midas
When everything turned gold
It's all right when we’re children but not when we are old
Sweet dreams [x3]
Fading before the dawn
Well take a look at the photo of a man and a woman in a perfect world
They got perfect teeth and a lovely tan
Such a beautiful boy and girl
But they don't know each other
They only met today
When the photographer took the picture
And said the check is on its way
Sweet dreams (Hold it, hold it, oh that's beautiful)
Sweet dreams (check is on the way)
Sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn
Somebody creates an image and waits for us to buy
They got our life planned out
From the day we get a person number 'til the day we die
Living in the fairy tale just doesn't make sense
Grass ain't never greener baby (yeah)
Down behind the fence
Sweet dreams [x3]
Fading before the dawn
Sweet dreams, yeah ooh ooh ooh
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn
Uh
Uh-ha ha ha ha ha
What about Cinderella and her glass shoe
She lived happily ever after
Yeah but none of it is true
What about king Midas
When everything turned gold
It's all right when we’re children but not when we are old
Sweet dreams [x3]
Fading before the dawn
Well take a look at the photo of a man and a woman in a perfect world
They got perfect teeth and a lovely tan
Such a beautiful boy and girl
But they don't know each other
They only met today

And said the check is on its way
Sweet dreams (Hold it, hold it, oh that's beautiful)
Sweet dreams (check is on the way)
Sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn
Somebody creates an image and waits for us to buy
They got our life planned out
From the day we get a person number 'til the day we die
Living in the fairy tale just doesn't make sense
Grass ain't never greener baby (yeah)
Down behind the fence
Sweet dreams [x3]
Fading before the dawn
Sweet dreams, yeah ooh ooh ooh
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
Fading before the dawn
Uh
Uh-ha ha ha ha ha

You wrote the tune that I wanted to sing
You wrote the tune that I wanted to sing
Oh I didn't know your song
I didn't know a thing
I saw a picture that you were still painting
Yeah life was a picture that you were still painting
I fell under the spell
As in a dream I was fainting
High winds are blowing [x3]
I feel them growing
Hmm-mm
I had a dream, I was afraid to touch you
I fell into a dream, I was afraid to touch you
You showed me the palms of your hands
And I knew what you went through
Hmm-hmm
You said just a word and things were changing
I heard your word and things started changing
I felt the fire and saw the world
As everything was rearranging
Da-la-de-da
High winds are blowing [x3]
I feel them growing
Hmm-mm

Hazy mornings from nights without sleeping
On this road the darkness turns to day
So little time is left to sow these seedlings
For I believe that you are on your way
Grown-up men in a world filled with children
Who's going to show them that consuming flame
Who shall console the disillusioned pilgrim
Lift up the book of life and write his name
And I wait, oh how I'm waiting for (oh) [x2]
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh) [x3]
(Ooh ooh ooh)
My heart is beating with a strong desire
The stones are silent on the road ahead
I see my hands and I feel like a liar
Give me true love and let my flesh be dead
I am a troubadour who waits and watches
You said there wouldn't be too much time
We are not poets but if you will touch us
Give these words fire that burns beyond the rhyme
And I wait, oh how I'm waiting for (oh)
And I wait, oh how I'm waiting for, waiting for you (oh)
And I wait, oh how I'm waiting for (oh)
And I wait, oh how I'm waiting for you (oh)

give me something else
[Go to Song Page]
I was walking in the dark
Trying to find my way
Tired of all these earthly things
Where was I to go, I could not say
My mind was torn with questions
My heart was crossed with doubt
My hope dissolved within me
I heard my voice, heard my voice cry out
Hey-hey-hey, give me something else [x3]
I became dissatisfied
With all that I possessed
Weary of this winding way
I could not, I could not find rest
I stood without direction
My soul was filled with dread
That's when I stretched out my hands
Up to heaven, up to heaven and said
Hey-hey-hey, give me something else [x6]
I was walking in the dark
Trying to find my way
Tired of all these earthly things
Where was I to go, I could not say
My mind was torn with questions
My heart was crossed with doubt
My hope dissolved within me
I heard my voice, heard my voice cry out
Hey-hey-hey, give me something else [x3]
I became dissatisfied
With all that I possessed
Weary of this winding way
I could not, I could not find rest
I stood without direction
My soul was filled with dread
That's when I stretched out my hands
Up to heaven, up to heaven and said
Hey-hey-hey, give me something else [x6]
you did it for me
[Go to Song Page]
Oh how they hurt you
Oh how they laughed
Oh how they wounded your loving heart
They were strong and able
They drove a nail through each hand
Hm-oh, didn't they understand
Wo-o-wo, I know, now I can see
Wo-o-wo, I know, you did it for them
You did it for me
You made the earth
By your command it moves
They mocked you, come down king of the Jews
I wasn't there in the garden
But I believe you cried
That the sky turned black the moment you died
Wo-o-wo, I know, yes now I can see
Wo-o-wo, I know, you did it for them
You did it for me
They despised your glory
The only son of God
Into the mud, they trampled your crown
You gave your life
So that I could be free
An' I belong to you eternally
Oh-oh-oh
Wo-o-wo, I know, yes now I can see
Wo-o-wo, I know, you did it for them
You did it for me
You did it for me, mm-hmm
You did it for me
Oh how they hurt you
Oh how they laughed
Oh how they wounded your loving heart

the dog and the flower
So rock and roll music. Well like where did it come from, I mean like who made it up, you know did the devil make it up? Uh-uh. But some people say that rock and roll is bad, and they say there is proof that it's bad. They say in the laboratories the scientists have taken loudspeakers and placed them against the ears of a dog, and put on a rock and roll record. And after eight hours the dog went mad. They did not say what group the dog was listening to.
They did an experiment with a flower, they took a flower and put it next to a loudspeaker. And after seven hours the flower had completely turned away from the speaker, and faced the opposite direction, and dropped its petals. I would say that is proof. I would say rock and roll is dangerous, and you must be careful, not to play your records around your dogs or your flowers.

the preacher and rock 'n roll
A preacher in America wrote a book on eh rock and roll and why it is evil. He said that rock and roll is dangerous because it has a back beat. Now, all music has a beat, but most music has a front beat like da-dun-dan-duh da-dun-dun-dun da dun-dun da-but rock and roll has a back beat two goo-da da-duh uh ah da-na ugh da na ah-ugh..... And he says that's why it's bad, because it has a back beat and it's bad for your back.
Uh, if you go to a dance, you know he wrote this in the book, if you're dancing with s', a girl for two or three hours and you move your back bone around then your spinal column releases this fluid. This chemistry goes into your brain and it creates lust. I don't think you should laugh. This man did a lot of personal research.

i'm in the mood for love
[Go to Song Page]
I can understand why older people don't like rock and roll. Yeah, they never listened to it. They grew up listening to something different, they grew up listening to uh, Tommy Dorsey. Frank Sinatra. You know they grew up listening to songs like: [Spoken]
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Darling but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
[Sung acapella]
The words to that song are I'm in the mood for love simply because you're near me, darling when you are near me I'm in the mood for love. That man had no self control. And our parents used to listen to that kind of music all the time? It is no surprise that there are so many of us. [Spoken]

if i got my ticket
[Go to Song Page]
Well I will tell you where rock and roll came from. Rock and roll came from the church. Do you remember 200 years ago when America went over to Africa, and we brought back some people to help us during the summer? Well that's when rock and roll started. Because we told these people about Jesus and God, and they believed us. And they began to think about it and they talked about it to each other, and they began to sing about it. And they sang how they understood it, that God loved them. They were very sad you know, they worked on plantations and they had masters who cracked whips. But they knew that God was a good master. And so they wrote songs, they wrote gospel songs, black hymns. And they sang the way they felt, and they sang songs like this [Spoken]
Lord if I got my ticket, can I ride
If I got my ticket, can I ride
If I got my ticket, can I ride
Up to heaven on that morning
I hear a lot of talk about a gospel train
Better be ready 'cos it's on its way
Be down at the station right on time
If you’re not ready you'll be left behind
If I got my ticket, can I ride
If I got my ticket, can I ride
If I got my ticket, can I ride
Up to heaven on that morning
I hear a lot of talk about a judgement day
You better be ready 'cos it's on its way
Be down at the station right on time
If you’re not ready you'll be left behind
Clean up the world and leave no sin
I tell you brother he is coming again
Lord if I got my ticket, can I ride
If I got my ticket, Lord can I ride
If I got my ticket, can I ride
Up to heaven on that morning
You know they sang spiritual music like that. And you know some of these songs don't you? Negro spirituals, black hymns. Do you know any of them or is this just American? Yeah you know, d'ya, well, tell you we can sing a song together if you all know a song that I know. Which, which song do you know? [Spoken]

In the early 2000s, Larry had plans to record a new roster of Solid Rock artists. A major heart attack upon return from the 2001 UK tour left Matthew James' Burned as the only one of these projects to be issued
Larry duets on two songs, and co-wrote the lyrics on one of them - Chicken Blood |

[Lisa]
I'd been searching for such a long time
I was tryin' find a reason for my rhyme
Tryin' to make it through another day
Finally I woke up to a better way
I heard a still small voice inside of me say
[Both]
He will be your song
He will make your long day turn around (Turn around)
He will make you stronger
He will understand when the world's demands close in
He will be your closest friend
[Larry]
Well I used to feel so alone
Standing in the shadows and on my own
Looking for a different light
Finally your love broke through the night
When you find the truth you know it's right
[Both]
He will be your song
He will make your long day turn around (Turn around)
He will make you stronger
He will understand when the world's demands close in
He will be your closest friend
[Both]
What can I say to make you realise
How much he really loves you
What can I say to make you understand
You should put your life into his hand
And he will be your song
He will make your long day turn around (he will mend) (he will make you strong)
He will make you stronger
He will understand when the world's demands close in (he will understand)
He will be your closest friend
He will make your long day turn around (he will mend) (he will make you strong)
He will make you stronger

Just as the deer
Thirsts for the water brooks
My soul thirsts for thee
Deep calls to deep
In the roar of your waterfalls
Your waves have swept over me
Oh oh oh God, oh oh oh God

My soul thirsts for you Lord
My soul thirsts for you
You're the living God

Day and night
I will sing my songs of love
A prayer to the God of my life
My hope is in the Lord
I will sing my praise to you
My saviour and my guide
Oh oh oh oh God, oh oh oh oh God

My soul thirsts for you Lord
My soul thirsts for you
You're the living God

Thirsts for the water brooks

My soul thirsts for you
You're the living God

My soul thirsts for thee
Deep calls to deep
In the roar of your waterfalls
Your waves have swept over me
Oh oh oh God, oh oh oh God
[Both]
My soul thirsts for you Lord
My soul thirsts for you
You're the living God
[Lisa]
Day and night
I will sing my songs of love
A prayer to the God of my life
My hope is in the Lord
I will sing my praise to you
My saviour and my guide
Oh oh oh oh God, oh oh oh oh God
[Both]
My soul thirsts for you Lord
My soul thirsts for you
You're the living God
Just as the deer
Thirsts for the water brooks
So my soul thirsts for thee
Oh oh oh oh God [x2]
My soul thirsts for you Lord
My soul thirsts for you
You're the living God

the great american novel
[Go to Song Page]
[Lisa]
I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
In a land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows
Of your silos filled with grain
And you never helped to fill my empty spoon
And when I was ten you murdered law
With courtroom politics
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth
Well I know you better now
And I don't fall for all your tricks
And you lost the one advantage of my youth
You killed a black man at midnight
Just for talking to your daughter
And you made his wife your mistress
And you left her without water
And the sheet you wear upon your face
Is the sheet your children sleep on
At every meal you say a prayer
You don't believe but still you keep on
[Both]
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
[Larry]
You were far across the ocean
The war was not your own
And while you were losing theirs
You also lost the war at home
Did you really think the only way
To bring about true peace
Was to sacrifice your young men
To kill all your enemies
Oh yeah
[Lisa]
The politicians all make speeches
While the news men all take notes
But they exaggerate false issues
As they shove it down our throats
Is it really up to us
Whether this country sinks or floats
I wonder who would lead us
If none of us would vote
[Larry]
My phone is tapped, my lips are chapped
From whispering through the fence
You know every move I make
Or is that just coincidence
Will you try to make my way of life
A little less like jail
If I promise to make tapes and slides
And send them through the mail
[Both]
Your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You say all men are equal, all men are brothers
Then why are the rich more equal than others
Don't ask me for the answers, I've only found one
That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the son

Between 1988 and 1991, Larry produced an eight track cassette titled Caught In Time for Lisa. Larry felt that 'Weyerhaeuser' might be difficult for people to pronounce and encouraged her to call herself Lisa S. Lisa never actually officially released Caught In Time, but sometimes sold it at her concerts, from January 1992. As well as production, Larry co-wrote the song Closest Friend, sings duet vocals on two tracks, and background vocal, harmonica and acoustic guitar on several songs. The project was expanded and formally issued in 2013. The expansion includes three Larry covers, two of which are duetted, and another song with background vocals by Larry
