The Cottage Tapes - Book One |
2000
|
This album is a compilation of the 1970 recording sessions for the albums Street Level, Bootleg and Randy Stonehill's Born Twice. A previously unheard song is introduced along with a 'new' version of Up In Canada. Most of the remaining tracks are alternate mixes / edits and/or remastered. Note however that the rear cover track listing is not especially accurate in identifying the alternate mixes or even the previously unissued songs. Note also that the album was released in early 2000, not in 1999 as suggested by the artwork
i don't wanna lose you
[Go to Song Page]
I don't wanna lose you to somebody else
I wanna keep you all to myself
Don't wanna lose you, lose you
You keep me deeply satisfied
All of the time
You know I love you

Don't wanna lose you, lose you

blue shoes white
[Go to Song Page]
One two three four
I had the rhythm of living in my shoes
Along come the rhythm and blues
The blues caught up and put me in a trance
And my shoes refused to dance, dance, dance, dance, wo-oh
My life began to slip and slide
And I had no hope
No place to hide
I borrowed a gun, I had nothing to lose
I figured it’s time to hang up my shoes
He came along that very day
He asked me why I walk this way
My soles half worn and my tongue hung about
And with broken laces I’m tripping out
He said to me, get up and walk
And I said, why don’t we sit down and talk
He said, how ‘bout a new soul
I uh-ah, no chance
I’m going to put these shoes in an ambulance
Be-oo-bop bea-bow-ow
He reached right out and touched my toes
Everybody knows how the rest of the story goes
If you’re steppin’ though life, then my appeal
Is to follow in his footsteps and get your soles re-heeled
And if ya, ya huh, you wanna give your feet a treat
Honey, get ready to walk down the golden street
But be careful how you use your shoes
And don’t waste your time on the rhythm and blues, ooh
He turns blue shoes white
He turns blue shoes white
He makes your wrong feet go right
He turns your black soul white, that’s right
He turns blue shoes white, c’mon man
He turns blu-oo-ooh shoes white
????? white
White like a light, light
He turns blue-ue-ue-ue-ue shoes
Go on shine ‘em up, come on, come on, tie ‘em right, tie ‘em right
Keep it going, come on, get my feet moving, come on
Tell me what
One two three four
I had the rhythm of living in my shoes
Along come the rhythm and blues
The blues caught up and put me in a trance
And my shoes refused to dance, dance, dance, dance, wo-oh
My life began to slip and slide

No place to hide

what goes through your mind
[Go to Song Page]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live
Or if you drown
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
The things you think you want
They only screw you up
You can be good or bad
Do what you want to do
And it’s up to you to decide
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Look for the truth and you'll find it girl
The truth's ahead, you're behind it girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
I think you like being blind girl
Just what goes through your mind girl
What goes through your mind [x2, faintly]
[Whistling]
What goes through your mind [x2, faintly]
What goes through your mind
What goes through your mind
You think your life is hell
But you've learned to hide it well
But when you sleep at night
Does it all come back
And it’s you who's black inside
Oh who you trying to fool
When you play it cool
You know you have big doubts
Of what life's all about
And questions fill your head
Is God really dead
Is there life after we die
If you're trying to please the world
You're gonna be let down
And the sea of people don't care if you live

i've searched all around
[Go to Song Page]
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
I'm glad my faith is stronger
This world won't last much longer
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Oh woh
Na na na na na na
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
This time you can't restrain me
Though in the past you've slain me
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song now
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase
Well I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
And I've opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
And I've sat in the shade of God and I’ve watched the joy increase
Said I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Yes I've searched all around the world
Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming
I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth
Maybe you think I'm plastic

up in canada
[Go to Song Page]
When I was up in Canada
I didn't have much money
You know my toes were cold
And my clothes had holes
And my nose was kinda runny
I met a long-hair on the street
He said look you look like you'd like to eat
I said a glass of coke and a hotdog's fine
He said how about some bread and a glass of wine
I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
And my hunger's growing
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
And my hunger's growing
Took a loaf of Wonder bread (Woo)
And then he bowed his head
Then he poured a cup, drink it up my friend
You know it tasted better than a health food blend
He looked straight into my eyes
I was quite surprised
He said you're locked inside but I can set you free
You will live forever if you follow me
I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
And my hunger's growing
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
And my hunger's growing
When I was up in Canada (Oh when I was up in Canada)
I didn't have much money (I did, I didn't have much)
You know my toes were cold (I got..head)
And my clothes had holes (and had holes)
And my nose was kinda runny (And my nose..kinda, yeah)

Alright
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on (Ooh)
Lead me on where you're going (Where you going)
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
And my hunger's growing (Jive)
That's right
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going (Lead me on, lead me on)
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing
When I was up in Canada
I didn't have much money
You know my toes were cold

why don't you look into jesus
[Go to Song Page]
One, two, three, four [Spoken]
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows ‘til you can’t stand up
Take a look at what you’ve done to yourself
Why don’t you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He's got the answers
Gonorrhoea on valentine’s day (VD [Spoken very faintly])
And you’re still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock ’n’ roll will set you free
Honey, you’ll be deaf before you’re thirty three
Shooting junk until you’re half insane
Broken needle in your purple vein
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He's got the answers
You work all night, sleep all day
Take your money, throw it all away
You say you’re gonna be a superstar
But you've never hung around enough to find out who you really are
Now think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free and your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you’re much older now
If you’re unhappy and you don’t know how
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
Yea-ah
Ah-why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answers
I said now
Oh why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Yea-eah [Yawn-like]
Now take a look, take a look
One, two, three, four [Spoken]
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows ‘til you can’t stand up

you knew what you were doing
[Go to Song Page]
I had a baby out of wedlock
Her old man got me in a headlock
I was an unwed father
But don't bother feeling sorry for me
I took a lot of LSD
I smoked a lot of mar-ja-weenie
But it did not help me
It did not set me free
Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help a guy like me
You saved me, you forgave me
And I swear you set me free
Aw, you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son
You know the way that I’ve been living
Has been taking without giving
And I hurt a lot of people
And I lost my friends
I spent a little time in prison
But I know the Lord has risen
And I'll never need
To be locked up again
Oh Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help a guy like me
Saved me, you forgave me
And I swear you set me free
Aw, you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son
I think you knew what you was doing
When you sent your son

Brother and sister, mrs and mister
I love you, I love you
He made me feel it and I can't conceal it
I love you, I love you
Jesus came into the world to show us the way (Ooh)
To set us all free and when he died he was saying
I love you [x18]
We can be together for now and forever
I love you, I love you
Brother and sister, mrs and mister
I love you, I love you
I love you [x23]
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
Shoobie doo bap bap bap (Wo oh oh wo oh oh)
I can see (I can see)
I am free (I am free) (Free)
And I'm who I want to be (Who, who I wanna, wanna be)
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me, ye-eh yeh (Mercy, mercy, mercy me, mercy me)
(Woo woo woo woo)
I can see (I can see now)
I am free (I can be free now)
And I'm who I wanna be (I can be the me I wanna be now)
Mercy me (Mercy me now)
Mercy me (Mercy, mercy me, mercy me)
Mercy me
(Yahweh do ya, Yahweh's talking to ya)
I can see (Shoop shoop)
I am free (I can see)
And I'm who I want to be (Do-ah, bip bip, bip ye-ah)
Mercy me (Shoobie doo wap)
Mercy me (Mercy me)
Mercy me (JC)

Mercy me, yeah

song for a small circle
[Go to Song Page]
My life is filled with songs
But I just couldn't get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better one begins
And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah, you're so Randy and you show it
And I love you as we both crawl t'ward the lamp
Fred Bova on guitar
With Hilly on the drums
Glenn Selwitz on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs
Dear Roger watch the dollar hide (Ooh ooh)
And disappear while love inside keeps growing (Ooh ooh)
You're older but less colder (Ooh ooh)
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing (Ooh ooh)
And Jesus died for all you friends (Ooh ooh)
But even better yet he lives again (Ooh ooh)
And if words do not appeal to you (Ooh ooh)
I hope his spirit slips on through, he loves you (Ooh)
He loves you
He loves you
And if words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through, he loves you
La [x38]
