Holy ShitHoly 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
It's Such A Lonely Time Of YearSnow 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
Little DartsYou 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 PrayersLITTLE 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 In BaltimoreNINE 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
Same Ol' StoryWell 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
Son Of A Rotten GamblerAnd 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 Nothing Coming Out Of Me That I LikeThere’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
