LYRICS NOT YET FULLY TRANSCRIBED
the rock that doesn't roll (intro)
[Go to Song Page]
I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
If you know the words you can sing along
Or make 'em up as you go along
Wowie zowie he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
(Good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll)
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Wowie zowie he saved my soul
Like the rock that doesn't roll
I thought you said you knew this song (Rock that doesn't roll)
Ah ha ha ha
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body, he's great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Go ahead Johnny go [Spoken]
I was all alone like The Rolling Stones
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
You know I feel so blessed because he gave me rest
I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be with him, that's my goal
Like the rock that doesn't roll
Thank you [Spoken]

You've got to rock me till I'm feeling black and blue
Rock me till I'm, rock me till I'm saved

the great american novel
[Go to Song Page]
I should sing another song, so let's do one we don't know. We'll, we'll, we'll save one we know for the end so we sound smashing. Now we have a, we have a list of songs that you guys know and that we've never sung together, we never re, rehearsed [Spoken]
I have the lyrics [Spoken, by band member]
Yeah. Let, let, you wanna try The Great American Novel, you guys, do you have that down? [Spoken]
Yeah [Spoken, by band member]
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
But 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
But I know you better now
And I don't fall for all your tricks
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth
You kill a black man at midnight
Just for talking to your daughter
You make his wife your mistress
And you leave 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
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
You were far across the ocean
And the war was not your own
While you were winning theirs
You almost lost the war at home
Your politicians all make speeches
While your news men all take notes
And they exaggerate false issues
As they shove them down our throats
Is it really up to men
Whether our nations sink or float
Well I wonder who would lead us
If none of us would vote
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
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
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

dark passage
[Go to Song Page]
Twenty some odd years ago
I fell and missed the moon
I guess I must have reached too high
I guess I was too soon
For me to understand the loss
That I would travel with
And how my path would wander
As I struggled with the myth
That love is what you make it
And your hope must never cease
So that all the love you give away
Will secure a house of peace
As the harbour fall covered the ship
I strode out for a walk
A man in black came up to me
And he began to talk
He said son you are so far away
You must find the strength to move
Closer to your destiny
You've nothing else to prove
Reach out and touch the future
Look for the open door
Then his image slowly faded
And I saw him nevermore
I didn't understand him
I was so much younger then
I didn't have the courage
You expect from older men
I was tired from my long journey
Just returning from the wars
Where dark angels have wounded me
'Til I couldn't stand no more
When I met the woman meant for me
I couldn't look her in the eye
And I kept my feelings to myself
And she turned and said goodbye
Well there's a world of a-wicked people
Who will take all that you own
They will strip you of your heart and flesh
And discard your sacred bones
They will tie you down with lies and schemes
And say that you can't leave
But they will bury you in lawyers
'Til you cannot even breathe
They will try hard to destroy you
But if you watch them you will see
They have no imagination
And they lack true charity
She was young when I first met her
But she seemed as old as I
And I kicked the stones beneath my feet
And spoke too quietly
She couldn't hear my heartbeat
Or see my flashing eyes
I was fearful in her presence
I thought she'd see through my disguise
She knew how much I loved her
And she'd read my every thought
But she was too much busy thinking
Of all the rules that she'd been taught
When I look up at the stars
And I see the depth of night
I stare solemn at creation
And the moon's reflected light
It takes its brightness from the sun
It has no power of its own
And that's sometimes how I see myself
As a man upon love once had shone
There's a castle standing on a hill
In a far and distant place
I could lock myself inside it
But I still would see her face
There's no one in this dark world
Who can give the love she needs
I feel her sadness in my spirit
And her wounds from which love bleeds
I can almost hear her crying
I know what she's thinking of
But sometimes I still wonder if
She's better off without my love
My death is moving toward me
Though it still seems miles away
And sometimes at night I'm sleeping
I think I hear her call my name
And I sit up and reach out for her
But it's always just the same
Her touch is far beyond my reach
'Cause I was so young and blind
But she'll always be the one I love
The one I left behind
She'll always be the one I love
The one I left behind
Twenty some odd years ago

I guess I must have reached too high
I guess I was too soon

god part 3
[Go to Song Page]
I'd like to sing a song John Lennon wrote. I liked it a lot so uh, I wrote it too. His song, it's called God. And eh I don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in God, I don't believe in Maharishi, I don't believe in, all I believe is in me, Yoko and me. That's reality. So I wrote God part two, and then U2 come out with God Part 2 so I call mine God part three. I changed the words. Chords [Spoken]
I don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in rock
I don't believe in the cutting edge, that's just journalist talk
I don't believe in the cover story or even the gospel charts
'Cause you can easily hit number one with a bullet and totally miss the heart
I, I believe in God
I don't believe in politics while the masses stay unfed
Until the leaders change priorities and supply the poor with bread
I don't believe in revolution or the empty words of peace
You can tear all of the governments down, you still won't find release
I, I, I believe in God
Alright. Take it boys [Spoken]
Sounds good [Spoken]
I don't believe in Esperanto or the dreams of Babylon
If we all spoke the same language, long ago we might'a built the bomb
I don't believe the Aryans are the master race
And if they think that Jesus was white, they'd be surprised to see his face
I don't believe in evolution, I was born to be free
Ain't gonna let no palaeontologist make a monkey outta me
I don't believe the devil's lies, ain't gonna be his slave
And when I'm finished dying I'm gonna bust out of my grave
I, yes I, I believe in God
I believe in God

[Go to Song Page]
Well this is a song from the sixties, back when the, like the black factions in America were talking about eh bombs and, and they never actually figured out how to make one. But they were talking about revolution and, and revolution was all over the world. The French students had rioted in, in Paris and, and eh in America the Americans had rioted by burning braziers and draft cards and, and you know very violent stuff. 'Cause we meant business. That'll scare the leaders. So this is a song I wrote about the revolution [Spoken]
The word is revolution
But no one’s fired the shot
Each side has its battle plans
With detailed counterplots
The world is closely watching
As we near the battle line
But if you’re truly wise
You keep your eyes on Palestine
The water is polluted
The air is filled with death
Some day it won’t be easy
To stop and catch your breath
It’s all in Revelation
It’s all part of the design
If you’re truly wise
You keep your eyes on Palestine
A-la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
I marched for peace in Washington
And things were getting hot
I gave blood in Chicago
I went anaemic on the spot
I woulda hitch-hiked out to Woodstock
But it’s all a waste of time
So I’m writing down these songs to you
To sing and pass along to you
If you’re truly wise
You’ll keep your eyes on Palestine
A-la la la la la na la la la la
A-revolution
A-la la la la la la la la la la
Peace or pollution
A-la la la la la la la la la la

A-la la la la la la la la la

[Go to Song Page]
If I were a singer I would sing my songs for you
My pen would write down all the truth you're made of
And the only song that I would sing would be about your love
Oh oh oh
If I were the blue sky my winds would blow for you
And I'd rain upon the earth with heavy showers
I would rage with hurricanes to make men cower
Make them look up and watch me 'til that unexpected hour
When you come again from heaven's hidden tower
Oh oh oh
These are troubled days
I want to live my life in a special way
These are troubled days
I want to give my life to you and show the way
If I were a singer I would sing my songs for you
My pen would write down all the truth you're made of
The only songs that I would sing would be about your love
I would sing it 'til the faithless ones believed it
And the children of your wayward church received it
I would sing it to the governments and leaders
And to the writers who have misled all the readers
I would sing it though they jailed me and they killed me
Let them empty me of life for you have filled me
You have filled me
If I were a singer I would sing my songs for you
My pen would write down all the truth you're made of
And the only song that I would sing would be about your love
Oh oh oh
If I were the blue sky my winds would blow for you
And I'd rain upon the earth with heavy showers
I would rage with hurricanes to make men cower
Make them look up and watch me 'til that unexpected hour

Let them empty me of life for you have filled me
You have filled me

Maybe your father didn’t love you like he should
Maybe your mother just hanged on the best she could
Everyone has a secret
Give it away or keep it
You’ve got to try and let it go
No
Don't carry the weight, the weight of the world
It’s breaking you down, on your back like a boulder
Before it’s too late, get rid of it now
Get it off of your shoulder
You've been abused
You can lose the weight of the world
The weight of the world
It all comes down to who you crucify
You either kiss the future or the past goodbye
God can help you fly
If you'll only try
Don't carry the weight
The weight of the world
It’s breaking you down, like, a boulder
Before it’s too late, get rid of it now
Get it off of your shoulder
We've all been used
But we can lose the weight of the world
The weight of the world, oh yes
The weight of the world
The weight of the world, wo wo wo
Maybe your father didn’t love you like he should
Maybe your mother just hanged on the best she could
Everyone has a secret
Give it away or keep it
You’ve got to try and let it go
No
Don't carry the weight, the weight of the world
It’s breaking you down, on your back like a boulder
Before it’s too late, get rid of it now

the river is deep
[Go to Song Page]
The river is deep, the river is wide
I’m gonna cross over when I see my ride
‘Cos I got a home on the other side
And when the time comes I’ll close my eyes
And shut out this world with all its lies
I’ll lay me down until I rise
When I awake I’ll see his face
And of this worlds tears there’ll be no trace
An' he’ll take me home to a better place
My dearest friends, keep up the fight
Resist the darkness and do what’s right
And when you stand up, walk in the light
This world is filled with sorrow
There’s trouble everywhere
But do not be dismayed
Or weak and in despair
He knows all that has happened
And what you’re going through
You’re covered in his love
And he won’t let go of you
Speak from your heart and let it shine
And let God’s will be done, not thine
So I can see you once again on down the line
This river is deep
This river is wide
But you're gonna cross over
To the other side
You've got a home
You've got a home on down that line
The river is deep, the river is wide
I’m gonna cross over when I see my ride
‘Cos I got a home on the other side
And when the time comes I’ll close my eyes
And shut out this world with all its lies
I’ll lay me down until I rise
When I awake I’ll see his face
And of this worlds tears there’ll be no trace
An' he’ll take me home to a better place
My dearest friends, keep up the fight
Resist the darkness and do what’s right
And when you stand up, walk in the light
This world is filled with sorrow
There’s trouble everywhere
But do not be dismayed
Or weak and in despair
He knows all that has happened
And what you’re going through
You’re covered in his love
And he won’t let go of you
Speak from your heart and let it shine
And let God’s will be done, not thine
So I can see you once again on down the line
This river is deep
This river is wide
But you're gonna cross over
To the other side
You've got a home
You've got a home on down that line
i wish we'd all been ready [combined with let the rain fall down]
[Go to Song Page]
Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears, one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come, you've been left behind
Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears, one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come, you've been left behind
let the rain fall down [unlisted, combined with i wish we'd all been ready]
[Go to Song Page]
Let this good life be the life we lead
Let our faiths grow like the mustard seed
And let his love be all the love we need
To carry us all the way home
Let this good life be the life we lead
Let our faiths grow like the mustard seed
And let his love be all the love we need
To carry us all the way home
shake your rattle and crawl
[Go to Song Page]
Well you're one year older than the year you were before
And each day baby, I love you more and more
You make me laugh when I see you crawl across the floor
Shake your rattle and crawl [x4]
And stay in your stroller when your momma’s shopping at the mall
Well I love you, you're as good as a boy can be
Yes I hug you and I kiss you and I bounce you down upon my knee
Then I put you on the floor, I say baby won’t you crawl to me
I say shake your rattle and crawl
A-shake baby shake
Shake your rattle and crawl
Shake your rattle and stand up and walk tall
You can count on me 'cause I’ll be there to catch you when you fall
Well the serpent was hanging from a tree just like a leaf
And when Eve walked by he said lady I’ll make this brief
When Adam took the second bite they both rubbed their eyes in disbelief
They had no clothes on
God told the devil
Shake your rattle and crawl [x3]
Well shake your rattle and crawl Satan
I’ll be stomping on your head, you’ll be dancing at the dead man’s ball
Have I told you I had brain damage didn't I? [Spoken]
[Laughs]

When you are lost
When you are sad
You must remember all the love we had
Try an' not to hurt
Try an' not to cry
Keep your head up and look into the sky
Oh don't wonder why, for I am near
Please say a prayer
When you think of me
And I'll be there even if you can't see
I love your heart
With all of mine
Yours is the love that is so hard to find
Sometimes we are so blind, but I am near
I feel so far o', from where I know that I should be
Oh will I ever find my way
I’ve climbed the mountain and as far as I can see
This is the way things just might stay
Do not be sad
And don't despair
God knows your every thought and he is there
He is your house
He is your place
I feel his love when I see your face
Or I look into space, for he is near
He is near [x2]

strong love, strange peace
[Go to Song Page]
Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtain up and house lights down
I sing these love songs, I try to pass my heart around
And afterwards
Someone says they thought I tried to put them down
They feel so bad
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They seem so trapped
They need release
They need your strong love and your strange peace
Reporters question me, is this a good direction for the young
How lamb like their faces
How snake like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced we're all just Jesus freaks
I feel so good
It does not matter what they say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They seem so trapped, we're all trapped
We need release
We need your strong love and your strange peace
We need your strong love and your strange peace
Backstage, I cross the middle ground

You came into my life
You took me off the shelf
You told my name to me
And taught me what to do
And when you went away
You left me by myself
I felt completely lost
And lonely without you
Why'd you go, baby
I guess you know
I got to learn to live without you
I got to learn to live without you
I got to learn to live without you
Without you
It's just no good without you
You came into my life

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
Wo-ho wo wo-oh oh-oh
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
My life was good when she was hanging round
My hope was flying so high and free
But then my dreams they come a-tumbling down
Now I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
I'm trying so hard to forget my pain
And leave my past behind
But when your life is suddenly filled with rain
You keep remembering how the sun used to shine
And I can't stand the loneliness, the constant emptiness
Why has unhappiness come into my life
I spend my mornings drinking and thinking
And cry my evenings late into the night
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
Wo-ho wo wo-oh oh-oh
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
My life was good when she was hanging round

When all my dreams are ending
I find myself pretending
That my tears are not from crying
And my hopes are far from dying
And I never confess
That I've cried over us, gone, gone
Gone are all the things we used to share
And care for
Ah ah
And on those nights when I get lonely
I tell myself it's only
Evening imitating sorrow
And that I'll feel good tomorrow
I never confess
That I've cried over us
When the night gets cold
I sit by a lonely fire
Remembering the love we shared
With laughter and desire
Why'd you go baby
I guess you know

Without you I'm a tree without roots God
I'm like a rocky sown seed, I bear no fruit
I'm like the lonely star of David in Beirut
Under your love I'm convicted but forgiven
Under your love I've finally passed the test
All of my life I've felt so sad and lonely
Under your love I finally found my rest
And when I stray away your spirit haunts me
And brings me back and I'm so glad to know you still want me
Under your love I'm convicted but forgiven
Under your love I know I pass the test
In times past I felt so sad and lonely

somewhere out there
[Go to Song Page]
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
Because the best things in life are kids and a wife
I never wanted to be no star
And I’m afraid that God is still the only reason
That I pick up my guitar
Oh oh oh [x2]
When you’re awake I try to show you all the love I can give
So you’ll have strength for the fight
‘Cause as you get older life gets harder to live
I love you more than anything else on earth
I think about you all the time
And every night I’m praying that the second birth
Will someday be the first thing on your mind
Oh oh oh [x2]
Wo oh ho
Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when you’re trying to live the way that you should
Sometimes you don’t know right from wrong, white from [coughs] black [coughs]
When you’re trying to love the best that you can, you don’t hold nothing back
[Coughs]
??? I thought I'd be able to get through this song [Spoken]
Well I hope that when you’re older you will understand
Why your life ain’t turning out exactly the way it was planned
But everything keeps changing on this crazy planet [Spoken]
Sometimes I don’t know what I can do, but I’m working hard for our future
So be good to your mother and you’ll make your father happy too
Oh oh oh [x2]
Love [coughs] might be blind
And life is very often so unkind

Oh oh oh
Since you came into my life these last three years, I’ve felt a new kind of pain
It really breaks my heart when each tour starts and you’re waving goodbye to the plane
I’d like to live at home for the rest of my life and spend every day playing with you
But that’s not the reason I was put on earth
I've got to make my father happy too
Wo oh ho
Well I hope that somewhere out there it’s all waiting for you
And I hope that when you get there you know what to do
If you fall down, get back up, you know I love you so much
And I hope that when you’re out there you will make it through
Wo oh oh [x3]
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you

I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my life has changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie he saved my soul
He's the rock, doesn't roll
Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on that road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me rest
I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, that's my goal

He's the rock that doesn't roll
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
You got to rock me on the water
Rock me from my grave
Rock me till I'm born again
You've got to rock me till I'm saved
That's right he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
You know he's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
I wanna tell you he's the rock that doesn't roll
Keep on rocking
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's good for the body, great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Thank you. Good night [Spoken]
Now God bless you there eh mister [Spoken, not by Larry]
