Holy Shit by Chip Taylor

BMI, Back Road Music 1999

Who's that man - in the mirror by the bar

Lookin' ugly and older than his shadow & his scars

Snow falling down children all around
And I'll be their Santa Claus clown
It's a time for girls and boys
Just look at me, happy as can be
Taking pleasure just to see them...
Playing with their toys

I haven't heard a word from you

You just throw little darts
They keep on hurting me
All the pain still it's free
What a lucky guy

You just say little things
Mixed with lies of wanderings
I know they're just little things

LITTLE PRAYERS

You have been been tired - you need to go to sleep
you have been wired - pray your soul to keep
he said here I am - here I am

You have been lost - no direction known
there is a cost - you need to find a home

NINE SOLDIERS N BALTIMORE

I only saw what I saw – I only saw what I saw
Nine soldiers in Baltimore – for 50,000 in the Vietnam War
They’re makin’ plans at the grocery store – so we don’t have to go there no more
The Catholic Church & the K of C – always meant so much to me
They closed their ears & shut the door – (to) nine soldiers in Baltimore

Well there's rights and wrongs and fightin' songs on both sides
And each day finds me changin' points of view
One says you've got to hurt to know the feeling
And another's fightin' feelings to get through

And I'm tired of hearing that same ol' story
'Bout where you've gotta stand to feel your pain
These days it's hard to find a hero

And his love will be his vision,
And he'll take you where you stand.
And will you stand your life by his,
And help the boy become a man?

Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher?
Teachin' love and honesty,

There’s nothin’ comin’ out of me that i like
nothin’ prayerful.. nothin’ respectful
so i think i’ll just shut me down for a while
and come back in a while.. and see who i am

i’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout someone that i shouldn’t
.. i shouldn’t think about some of the time
but it’s been all of the time & it’s makin’ me blind
