Greg Brown - Famous friends

Tekst :

My famous friends don t ever write me any letters
But I can tell they re almost always doin better
I see their names in magazines
They talk about their big-ass scenes
My famous friends ain t really my friends at all.

My famous friends I mostly knew when we were young
Oh, but I could tell even then they d soon be gone
They weren t happy with their deal
They wanted fame to feel more real
They changed their names, I wonder if their heart s the same.

Oh, my famous friends, if you should ever hear this song
Don t try to get in touch with me, it s been too long
Count your money, fix your chins
Clean up, find god, and get more thin
I ve got some friends that love me good, and they ain t famous.
I ve got some friends, I love em good, and they ain t famous.

    O Pamela

    This a page from my diary
    The fifteen day of November
    This a page from my diary
    What happened that day
    I don t remember

    But I do remember when
    I wrote these words and then
    And then reread them
    Slowly to myself
    Without emotion

    And although the feelings changed
    The words still sound the same
    O Pamela
    Tell everyone
    Hang my head in...

    Music

    I ve got the rhythm in my veins
    And you can find it everyday, if you want
    I need someone to take a shake
    The game is ready, ready to play

    Dreaming all the night
    Kiss me, hold me tight
    Walking on the fire
    Yes, I m burning
    Dance into the light
    G-g-g-g-g-groove is just a fight
    Don t stop...

    By myself

    Baby Baby, Sweet Baby
    There s Something That I Just Got to Say
    Baby Baby, Sweet Baby
    You Left Me Hurtin in a Real Cold Way

    Speak Your Name
    And I ll Feel a Thrill
    You Said I Do
    And I Said I Will

    I Tell You That I ll Stay True
    And Give You Just a Little...

    One step to heaven

    Just the slightest touch of you
    sends my passion rushing through
    and baby you can always count on me
    because you answer all my fantasy

    BRIDGE
    And when the weekend people wanna knock you down
    remember we all fly to higher ground...

    Amazing grace to you

    There Was a Man Who Sang the Blues
    No One Could Deny He Spoke the Truth
    He Shouted Through the Microphone
    But no One Could Care Less
    He Lived His Life Anonymously
    Was Rediscovered Posthumously
    Now People Quote His Words
    And Talk About His Tragic Death

    (Ain t That the Way It Goes)

    The Was a Man Who Told...
