The Big Three killed my baby
No money in my hand again
The Big Three killed my baby
Nobody's comin' home again

Their ideas made me want to spit
A hundred dollars goes down the pit
Thirty-thousand wheels are rollin'

Well were back in school again
and I don't really know anyone
I really want to be your friend
cause I don't really know anyone
And the bus is pulling
up to your house
I wish you could be sitting here
next to me

I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
And it makes me want to scream
When it's halloween
And the kids are laughing
The rogue is a bank he's never broke
But worth as much as a joke that no one is laughing at

Your breath is sweet and weak, your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth on the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection, no gratitude or love.
Your loyalty is not to me, but to the stars above.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go,
To the valley below.

There's a little girl who says 'bink bink bop'
There's a little girl who says 'bink bink bop'
Hello
Oh, oh

There's a little boy with a spider in his hand
There's a little boy with a spider in his hand
Hello

I'm bringing back ghosts
That are no longer there
I'm gettin' hard on myself
Sittin' in my easy chair
Well, there's three people in the mirror
And I'm wonderin' which one of them I should choose
Well, I can't keep from laughin'
Spittin' out these 300 mile per hour outpour blues

I'm bringing back ghosts
That are no longer there
I'm gettin' hard on myself
Sittin' in my easy chair
Well, there's three people in the mirror
And I'm wonderin' which one of them I should choose
Well, I can't keep from laughin'
Spittin' out these 300 mile per hour outpour blues

There's a story I would like to tell.
My problem is, it's one you know too well.
It's one you know too well.

Miss Suzy Lee, the one i'm speaking of.
The question is, is she the one I love?
Is she the one I love?
All right, is she the one I love?

I'm Gonna fight 'em Off
A Seven Nation Army couldn't hold me back
They're Gonna Rip it off
Taking there Time right behind my back

And I'm Talkin' to myself at night
because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind

I just don't fit in this place
their thoughts cast me out of here
their home has run out of space
my mind's already out of here
won't you come along dear?
won't you come along?

words that are spoke alone

In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
She stumbled started to slip and fall
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
I happened to catch her and said,
"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"

Maybe for you, now

hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles to
they don't really care for you

come and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking

Maybe Jasper does the astro
Maybe Jasper does the astro
Maybe Jasper does the astro, astro

(Yeah)

Maybe Lily does the astro
Maybe Lily does the astro

It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl,
but it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
(There's no doubt about it)
It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl,
but it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
And right now you couldn't care less about me,
but soon enough you will care by the time I'm done

Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
My fingers definately turning to black now
Maybe I'll put my live on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
The longer words are really breaking my back now
Maybe I'll learn to understand

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something

You can talk about the latest
The latest of your own
These boll weevils
They will rob you of a home
They are looking for a home

The first time I seen a boll weevil
He was sitting on the square

Hey
Look closer and you see
I will be running it
I got a hundred dollar bill
In the cockpit
Suprised me in the line
Is a blackhole
I got another job

Have you been to the broken bricks girl
Snuck down through the cyclone fence
Past the caution tape
And the security gate
Back way to the breakroom bench

Well there's a little corner where you first got kissed
And felt your boyfriends fist and made the company list

Candy Cane Girl
Don't you know your name, girl?
Twelve people gonna ask you just the same, girl
What a world
Christmas once a year, girl
That's three hundred and sixty four tears, girl

So when Christmas finally comes

outside
my door
unlocked
i'm lookin'
at this sound
That chime out of nowhere
yeah, nowhere
whoo

You tiptoed to me
As naked as a bone
Beautiful and canvas-blank, lily-white now
And just lookin' for a home
Yeah, and without trying to praise you
Well, I feel like I could raise you as my own

There's a duty to this loneliness

(If you go looking for hot water
Don't act shocked when you get
Burned a little bit)

If you really want some hot water
I can help you find it

Oh

I don't wanna kill
my china pig
I don't wanna kill
my china pig
man's gotta live
man's gotta eat
(gotta have shoes) for walkin'
on his feet

Conquest-
He was out to make a conquest
Didn't care what harm was done
Just as long as he won
The prize

Conquest-
She was just another conquest

Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell you that I'm coming home
and I think I'm gonna stick around

dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound
when I hear your lips make a sound

thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell ya that I'm coming home

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead
I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?

Said "Hurry, Hurry because the gal you love is dead"
Well I packed up my suitcase

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the fingers
Cause I'll tell everyone in the world

well somebody walked up to me
but i didn't know what to do
and then somebody said hello to me
but i didn't know what to do
because i think that my words could get
twisted so i bend my back over take a
gulp be funny cause i know there's nothing i can do

INTRO:

A
A E A


VERSE 1:
A E A

Your mouth said this never
but your fingers have shown me
your head is so clever
you claim that you own me
forever
forever
forever
forever

Fell in love with a girl
fell in love once and almost completely
she's in love with the world
but sometimes these feelings
can be so misleading
she turns and says are you alright?
I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
come and kiss me by the riverside,

Girl, you have no faith in medicine
Acetaminophen
You see the medicine
Girl, you have no faith in medicine

Is there a way to find the cure for this
Implanted in a pill?
Is it just the name upon the bottle

Ive got a 1980 Volvo
I get in start it up and I go
It aint a vintage Cadillac
But it always gets me there and back

And itll always be good to me
Always be good to me
Always begood to me

I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the red door
after an argument I started
cause I thought she didn't like me anymore
I can't help it sometimes I feel pitiful
and of course she's so young and beautiful

I bought us two glasses of coke
that's her favorite and I wanted to make up for earlier

hello operator
can you give me number nine?
can i see you later?
will you give me back my dime?
turn the oscillator
twist it with a dollar bill
mail man bring the paper
leave it on my window sill

I was watching
with one eye on the other side
I had fifteen people telling me to move
I got moving on my mind
I found shelter
In some thoughts turning wheels around
I said 39 times that I love you
to the beauty I had found

I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone
So many times I called your house
Just to hear the tone
And though I knew you weren't home
I didn't mind so much 'cause I'm so alone
I want to hypnotize you baby
On the telephone

I wish we were stuck up a tree,
Then we'd know it's nicer below.

I don't know any lullabys,
I don't know how to make you mine, but I can learn.
In lonely days long ago, I saw lovers put on a show,
Well, now it's my turn.

Well i hold the rope
And i hold the sail
And i kept my papers
To keep from land in jail
And i fought piranhas
And i fought the cold
There was noone with me
I was all alone

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
Planning everything for two
Doing everything with you
And now that we're through
I just don't know what to do

I just don't know what to do with myself

I just don't know what to do with myself
I don't know what to do with myself
planning everything for two
doing everything with you
and now that we're through
I just don't know what to do

I just don't know what to do with myself

Oh I think I smell a rat
I think I smell a rat
all you little kids
seem to think you know
just where it's at
I think I smell a rat
walking down the street
carrying a baseball bat

I want to be the boy, to warm your mother's heart
I'm so scared to take you away
I tried to win her over right from the start
But something always got in the way
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
But she won't even come out and say hi
While my mother baked a little cake for you
And even dreaded when you said goodbye

I've thought about it for a while
and I've thought about the many miles
but I think it's time that I've gone away

The feelings that you have for me
have gone away it's plain to see
and it looks to me
that you're pulling away

Well I'm finding it harder
to be a gentleman every day
all the manners that I've been taught
have slowly died away
but if I held the door open for you
It wouldn't make your day

You think that I care

Yah-hee, icky thump,
Who'd thunk?
Sittin' drunk on a wagon to Mexico.

Ah, well, what a chump,
Well, my head got a bump when I hit it on the radio.

Redhead señorita looking dead came and said,

Yah-hee, icky thump
Who'd-a thunk?
Sittin' drunk
On a wagon to Mexico

Her hair, what a chump
And my head
Got a bump

Yah-hee, icky thump
Who'd-a thunk?
Sittin' drunk
On a wagon to Mexico

Her hair, what a chump
And my head
Got a bump

I saw you standing in the corner
On the edge of a hunting knife
I saw you standing in the corner
Come to me again in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

You make me feel a little older
Like a full grown woman might

I saw you standing in the corner
On the edge of a burning light
I saw you standing in the corner
Come to me again in the cold, cold night
In the cold, cold night

You make me feel a little older
Like a full grown woman might

She stuck a cell phone camera right into my face
With a flick of my wrist I filled her nose fulla mace
The cops wanted to know what was wrong with me
Didn't give me a chance to explain it, see

It ain't her fault for bein careless
It ain't her fault for bein brainless
It ain't her fault for bein hopeless

Now Jimmy
Well, do you want an explosion now?

Yeah Jimmy
Do you want to explode now?

Yeah monkey
Now you seeing red now

olene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can.

Your beauty is beyond compare
with flaming locks of auburn hair
with ivory skin

Mar-an-tette, Leverette
Lannette, Lafayette, Livernois

Rochelle, Marseilles
Riopelle, Manistique, Armour
Oh...oh...mmmmmm!

Mercier, Lemay

Some bricks now baby
Say let's build a home

C'mon

[When problems overwhelm us
and sadness smothers us,
where do we find the will
and the courage
to countinue?

well the answer may come
in the caring voice of a friend

hen problems overwhelm, us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well, the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith. For Janet help came from her faith, but it also from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job. She had mounting money problems. But Janet not only survived, she worked her way out of despondency and now she says, life is good again. How could this happen? She told me that late one Autumn day when she was at her lowest she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter, one at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming along, then so can I. Once I broke my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time.

Take all your problems And rip 'em apart,
Carry them off in a shopping cart,
And another thing you should've known from the start,
The problems in hand are lighter than at heart,
Be like the squirrel girl, be like the squirrel,
Give it a whirl girl, be like the squirrel,

I got a little bird
i'm gonna take her home
put her in a cage
and disconnect the phone

if you give me a look
i'm gonna get the book
i'm gonna preach the word

Well every highway that I go down
Seems to be longer than the last one i knew about
Oh Well
And every girl that I walk around
Seems to be more of an illusion than the last one that I found
Oh Well
And this old man in front of me
Holding canes and ruby rings

Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above

The first moment that I met her

There's a little girl who says bink bink bop (?)
There's a little girl who says bink bink bop (?)
Hello…oh, oh.
There's a little boy with a spider in his hand.
There's a little boy with a spider in his hand.
Hello…oh, oh.
There's a little girl with the red shoes on.
There's a little girl with the red shoes on.

well look me over closely
tell me what you see
the lady likes to look her best
before she pours the tea
you see a diamond-studded gown
that makes the evening sun go down
oh look me over closely
tell me what you find

Good Lord, good Lord, send me an angel down
Can't spare no angel, we'll send you a teasin' brown
Well, that new way of loving, swear to God, it must be best
For these Detroit women won't let Mr. Jack White rest

There was a crowd on the corner, wonder what could it be
Wasn't a thing, but the womens is tryin' to get to me
I went down to the station, suitcase in my hand

My Doorbell
I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
Yeah, I'm thinkin' about my doorbell
When ya gonna ring it, when ya gonna ring it
yeah, I been thinkin' about my doorbell

I'm patient of this plan
as humble as I can
I'll wait another day
before I turn away
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
offend in every way
I don't know what to say

/Bob Dylan/

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love

when the stiff wind blows
the flag don't wiggle
in the party of special things to do
I met the ace of love
she took me to her plantation
for the love without separation
in the party of special things to do

Singing
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Li De Li De Li Oh Oh
Well A Li De Li De Li Oh Oh

Well the hills are pretty and rollin'
But the thorn is sharp and swollen

Meg:
Rag and bone!

Jack:
Rag and bone!

Meg:
Rag and bone!

Can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
I'm standing, standing in the red, red rain
In the morning, standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl
In the morning, I'm standing in the red, red rain
Can't you hear me? can't you hear me calling your name, girl?
In the morning, when I'm standing in the red, red rain, girl

Я отобьюсь от них Войско семи народов не смогло меня удержать Они будут грабить Прямо за моей спиной И я разговариваю сам с собой по ночам Потому что не могу забыть Взад и вперёд в моей голове На конце сигареты И мои глаза говорят: оставь это в покое Не хочу даже слышать об этом Каждому есть, что рассказать Все знают об этом От Королевы Англии до адских гончих И если я поймаю их на своём пути То принесу тебе И это не то, что ты хочешь услышать Но это то, что я сделаю И мои кости говорят: найди дом Я уйду в Уичито* Подальше от этого фарса, навсегда Я буду притворяться, что работаю Делать из каждой беды радость И я истекаю кровью Прямо перед Господом Все слова выйдут кровью из меня И я больше никогда не буду думать И пятна моей крови говорят: возвращайся домой

I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night

I'm Gonna fight 'em Off
A Seven Nation Army couldn't hold me back
They're Gonna Rip it off
Taking there Time right behind my back

And I'm Talkin' to myself at night
because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind

I'm Gonna fight 'em Off
A Seven Nation Army couldn't hold me back
They're Gonna Rip it off
Taking there Time right behind my back

And I'm Talkin' to myself at night
because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind

I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind

перевод песни: Seven Nations Army

Армия семи наций

Я сражу их всех.
Армия семи наций не сможет меня остановить.
Они разграбят всё,
Воспользовавшись тем, что я отвернулся.

Theres a storm
It's comin' around
And the snow is fallin'
It's covering the ground

Don't you walk away
With my love
Don't you walk away now

The White Stripes, как и обещали, выкладывают записанные ранее, но не изданные записи. Лейбл Джейка Уайта Third Man Records выпустил два трека-кавера, первый на классику психоделического фолк-рока — композицию «Signed D.C.» группы Love.

You're lookin' at me,
Nowhere to go.
What they're sayin',
I just don't know.
A floor below me,
Ceiling above.
And I'm in the middle,
With nobody to love.

Oh coco,
Well folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary,
See my little baby there;
She's stretched out on a long, white table,
Well she looks so good, so calm, so fair.

Let her go, let her go, God bless her,
Wherever she may be,

Everytime I'm walkin',down the streets,some

pretty mama she starts breakin'down

Stop breakin'down,yes stop breakin'down

The stuff I got'll bust your brains

(утро в кито центр)

Everytime I'm walkin',down the streets,some

pretty mama she starts breakin'down

Stop breakin'down,yes stop breakin'down

I can't walk the streets now
To convulate my mind
Some pretty mama, she starts
Breakin' down - stop breakin' down!
Whoo! Stop breakin' down!

The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Well, it'll make you lose your mind

Sugar never tasted so good
Sugar never tasted so good
Sugar never tasted good to me
Yeah

Until her eyes crossed over
Until her mind crossed over
Until her soul fell next to me

I was sitting there in a comfortable chair
And that was all that I needed
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share
And that was all that I needed
Well, then I felt at ease
But then I'm not too hard to please
I guess you couldn't call me greedy
Then I was shocked to look up

Life is so boring
Its really got me snoring
Im wearing out the flooring
In a cheap motel
But I dont have to work
And I might be sinning
But I never have to listen to
The rings of school bells

The big three killed my baby
no money in my hand again
the big three killed my baby
nobody's coming home again

Their ideas made me want to spit
a hundred dollars goes down the pit
30,000 wheels are rollin'

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that a dance is all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with a singer
Cause he'll tell everyone in the world

We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981
We named him Baby
He had a toothache

You fell down of course
and then you got up of course
and you started over
forgot my name of course
then you started to remember
pretty tough to think about
the beginning of december
pretty tough to think about

It can't be love, for there is no true love.
It can't be love, for there is no true love.
Sure, I'm C.F.K, but you gotta love me.
The cost no man can say, but you gotta love me.

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in gold mines,
Oil wells, shipping or real estate.
What would I liked to have been?

There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here

I'd like to think that all of this constant interaction
Is just the kind of make you drive yourself away
Each simple gesture done by me is counteracted
And leaves me standing here with nothing else to say

I never knew that I had to be this protector
so many thoughts inside my head a strange collector

But now
but now
but now
now, now, now, now, now

Meg White: Round John Virgin
Jack White: Yeah, you're right. It's Round John Virgin. I was wrong.
Commentator Mort Crim: Ponder what's there.
Jack White: Ponder what's there. 1, 2, 3

Though I hear you calling, I will not answer
Though I hear you calling, I will not answer

My baby's got a heart of stone
can't you people just leave her alone
she never did nothing to hurt you
so just leave her alone

The motion of her tiny hands
and the quiver of her bones below
are the signs of a girl alone

No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist
I was walking with a ghost
I said please, please don't insist

And if I'm wasting my time
Then nothing could be better
Than hanging on the line
And waiting for a honest word forever

And if you're saying goodbye
Please don't you think me bitter
For recalling every rhyme

Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree

[Холли и Джек:]
Ну, это правда, что мы любим друг друга

[Холли:]
Я люблю Джека Уайта как младшего брата

[Джек:]
Ну, Холли, я тоже тебя люблю, но я столького

Who's to say that I'm unhappy 'cause I don't really smile
Sittin', hopin', dreamin', waitin' for my ship to sail

Who's to say this time I've wasted, someday won't get used
Maybe if you come around I'll start to get enthused

Who's to say?
Who's to say?

Somebody's screaming
looking at the ceiling oh oh oh
everything's so funny
I don't have any money oh oh oh
people don't even know me
but they know how to show me oh oh oh

Why can't you be nicer to me?

In some respects,
I suspect you've got a respectable side.
When pushed and pulled and pressured,
You seldom run and hide.
But it's for someone else's benefit,
Not for what you wanna do.
Until I realize that you've realized,
I'm gonna say these words to you.

Oh yeah you're pretty good looking for a girl
but your back is so broken
and this feeling's still gonna linger on
until the year 2525 now

yeah you're pretty good looking for a girl
your eyes are wide open
and your thoughts have been stolen by the boys

You've got her in your pocket
And there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'cause it's at home sweet home

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
And you'll be there if she ever feels blue

lookie here momma let me explain ya this
If ya wanna get crooked i'll even give ya my fist
Ya might read from revelation back to genesis
Ya keep crooked your southern can belongs to me

So there ain't no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine in the mornin
Your southern can belongs to me

Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell you that I'm coming home
and I think I'm gonna stick around
