blues traveler - 100 years
The sun is warm as the day is long
I just got the feeling I can do no wrong
I've got a long way to walk
Can't afford my next meal
I tell a few lies but my hunger is real
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Mademoiselle tell me do you play
Well, if she shakes her head, well then that's okay
I watch her walk away in haste
There's just no accounting for some people's taste,
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Big angry man in the doorway there
Just keep on walking like I don't care
Why you giving such an evil eye
Could it be you were ignored by every passerby
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Play in the park for tobacco and food
Then I excuse myself but they think I'm rude
Tourist don't want me to end his show
But this colorful attraction got places to go
And it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
Sit at the pier watch the sun go down
Another lost little boy in a big old town
I want to laugh I want to cry
But no matter how hard I may try
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
It won't mean a thing in a hundred years
No, it won't mean a thing in a hundred years
blues traveler - 12 swords
Here I stand and alas
Of a warrior's class
Apprentice turned sorcerer I
I've seen many wars end
Made the battle my friend
None am I afraid to defy
I've done as I please
Yet I fall to my knees
Weak and bleeding sure that I'm through
And as I lay there to die
I can see the night sky
And suddenly I'm thinking of you
Does the crescent moon rise
By the light of your eyes
Can you see the star that I'm wishing on
And is it shining as bright
From where you see it tonight
And does the love that you feel make you strong
On my twelve swords I'm yours
Till you need me no more
And I'll wish away till morning
Like a harvested husk
Another city sacked at dusk
The rampaging conquest goes well
But I cannot erase
The memory of our embrace
Without you I'd have died where I fell
And I must ask again
Is the battle my friend
What will my life and sorcery be
I only know this is true
That indeed I love you
And I ask by the first star I see
Does the crescent moon rise
By the light of your eyes
Can you see the star that I'm wishing on
And is it shining as bright
From where you see it tonight
And does the love that you feel make you strong
Does the crescent moon rise
By the light of your eyes
Can you see the star that I'm wishing on
And is it shining as bright
From where you see it tonight
And does the love that you feel make you strong
On my twelve swords I'm yours
Till you need me no more
And I'll wish away till morning
And I'll wish away till morning
blues traveler - 1999
Original performer: prince
Don't worry, i won't hurt you
I only want you to have some fun
I was dreamin' when i wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when i woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know i didn't even care
'cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreamin' when i wrote this
So sue me if i go too fast
But life is just a party
And parties weren't meant to last
War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if i gotta die
I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If you didn't come to party
Don't bother knockin' on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And baby he's ready to roar
Yeah, everybody's got a bomb
We could all die any day
But before i'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away
They say two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
We're runnin' outta time
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
No, no
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Alright, it's 1999
You say it, 1999
1999
1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it one more time
Two thousand zero zero party over
Oops out of time
Yeah, yeah
So tonight i'm gonna party like it's 1999
Yeah, 1999
Don'tcha wanna go
Don'tcha wanna go
We could all die any day
I don't wanna die
I'd rather dance my life away
Listen to what i'm tryin' to say
Everybody, everybody say party
C'mon now, you say party
That's right, everybody say
Can't run from the revelation, no
Sing it for your nation y'all
Tell me what you're singin', baby say
Telephone's a-ringin', mama
C'mon, c'mon, you say
Everybody,
Work it down to the ground, say party
Come on, take my body, baby party
That's right, c'mon, sing the song party
That's right party
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say party
Oh, and he's ready to roar party
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb?
blues traveler - 4th of july
Well she hated the 4th of july
Bombs bursting in air, and she'd never know why
She'd keep me up all night, too terrified to cry
Oh yes, she hated 4th of july
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
And when the thunder clapped, she'd run to me afraid
She tried to be brave, but she couldn't figure out the terrible sound it made
I was smarter, but she just couldn't see
And when the thunder clapped, she'd always run to me
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
Oh yes, she loved the world on a crisp, autumn day
The leaves would turn her color, the children were at play
Sit on hilltops with her, she'd smile as if to say
You couldn't touch the world when autumn comes this way
And i don't believe she cared for getting old
The limbs move a little slower, the hearing just goes cold
One day she looked at me through a gray haired eye
And i couldn't believe she was telling me good bye
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
And i do believe her soul was rich and blue
We taught each other lessons, lessons that we knew
When we kept growing, there was nothing we could do
But i loved her and i know she loved me too
Now you can call me a sentimental fool
But i learned more from her than i ever did in school
I still get apprehensive, i still remember why
When the thunder claps or it's the 4th of july
Don't you be scared, don't you start to shake
Go back to sleep because i am wide awake
I'm right here, i'm not going anywhere tonight
Feel my hand, i'm gonna hold you till the early light
Oh yes she hated the 4th of july
blues traveler - ain t that life
Sometimes we try to reach the stars
And sometimes we just try
Sometimes we try to live a little
And sometimes we only die
Sometimes we try to hit new heights
And sometimes we hit the ground
Sometimes when we do, it's a silent night
And sometimes, there's a terrible sound
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
We wanna teach, we wanna learn
We don't wanna feel alone
We want to say that we're gods on earth
We're really just flesh and bone
We're so damn proud of our intellect
That we try and chase the sun
The war of technology's over
We really don't know who won
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
Teacher in space, went and died in disgrace
The tv sets saw everybody cry
Take another glance at a good distance
And just a couple of people died
With hope in her eyes, she streaked up through the sky
The wreckage washed up on the beach
I wonder if anybody asked her
"is there anyone up there to teach?"
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
Somewhere, someone's laughing
Somewhere, someone cries
Somewhere, someone sees the truth
While someone else tells lies
Somewhere, there's a christian
Who's contemplating zen
Somewhere, there's a pervert
Luring children to his den
Somewhere, a girl rides a skateboard
And hopes to be president
And somewhere an aging actor
Decides to give up lent
A realtor takes up smoking
But cannot find a match
A kid nearly dies in his dad's new car
But worries about the scratch
A newborn kitten freezes
While two young lovers part
And maybe here, some sucker
Could be taking this song to heart
It's beautiful, it's oh so beautiful
It's beautiful, it's oh so beautiful
Dreams can live long after we're gone
But what's really in a dream?
Sometimes it's the lies in a gambler's eyes
And sometimes, it's a silent scream
Some people die while others are born
And the circle of life goes on
When you get down to it, we're just visitors here
So you can't really do nothing wrong
But ain't that life?
Ain't that life, anyway?
We can hope and we can pray
We can try and make a better day
But when it's over, what's left to say
But ain't that life, anyway?
When it's over, what's left to say...
But ain't that life, anyway?

blues traveler - all hands
Every time the water breaks and soaks me to the bone
I remember what I left behind by sailing off alone
Pitch and yaw through hurricane, my position is unknown
And the bell rings seven times
Salted brine, I drink it down and breathe it through my nose
No sign of land but I hang on and do my best to close
But the swirling tidal undertow keeps pulling me below
And the bell rings seven times
All hands left on deck
An icy rest is waiting at the bottom of the sea
She's tried her best to take me as I struggle to get free
But while I have a breath to breathe, she isn't taking me
And the bell rings seven times
All hands left on deck
No hope of rescue
No hope of dry ground
The siren calls all souls on board
To follow her down
Swirling silently beneath the noise and light up there
Push past the frozen arms and legs, ignore the lifeless stare
I grab a line that pulls me up for a precious gasp of air
And the bell rings seven times
All hands left on deck
blues traveler - all in the groove
Sometimes when you worry
The tendency to hurry
Can make your vision blurry
And blind you
You might shake and you might stammer
Or dance like MC Hammer
But could that pomp and glamour
Remind you
Of who you are and where you're going
And whose mind that you're blowing
And if your car needs towing
Don't move
Then calmly call the AAA you've got nothing to prove
As in all things, it's all in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
Well if it's your destiny don't fight it
War between the states unite it
It might be difficult but might it
Be worthwhile?
I ain't no Solomon from Babel
But my cards are on the table
And I swear that if I'm able
I'll run that mile
So if I'm rambling ignore me
If on the money then adore me
You know the pearls are cast before me
Oh what to do?
Wish I could put it in a picture and hang it in the Louvre
But like I said before it's all in the groove
You could say it isn't worth it
Or maybe you could birth it
But if there's too much girth it
Won't move
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
The jam it swings and sways
As the groove funkily plays
And they say crime never pays
But this ain't no crime
It's just a life blood flowing water
That any son or daughter
Would send away for order
A celebration of time
So jam on, jam out, jam it in
Till it feels like it's a sin
And that's only when you begin
To improve
Don't mind if it's the rhythm that's just only when you've
Got to let it all be all in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
All in the groove
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway...in the groove, in the groove
"Hey, you know..."
"You can't do that!"
"I remember one time I was, ah.."
"...we was jammin' on stage"
"Yeah, I know that..."
"You know what I'm talkin' about..."
"You know the stories?"
"Aw, yeah..."
"Yeah, that's right..."
blues traveler - all up to you
Well, it seems no one can protect you
And your friends just don't understand
When your hopes and your courage neglect you
And no arm long enough to lend a hand
When your road seems like any other
Cold and dry, wonder why
You've just gotta believe one way or another
It's just gotta be worth one more try
And though the world is spitting venom
And there ain't nothing nobody else can do
Simply remember that it's all
All up to you
When your heart's been crushed like a baby
When the one you love is walking away
What's left of you is thinking how just maybe
You might find that's that special something left to say
And that cruel, cruel heaven above you
Let it be soft, just let her go, let her go
Facing it, she just doesn't love you
I know it hurts, lord i know
And though without her, it seems you've got nothing
No matter all the heavy heartache you've been through
Truth of the matter, though it's hard to swallow
It's still all up to you
Up to you
I know sometimes the answer ain't easy
Sometimes it's hard enough to carry on
But i know somewhere, somebody needs me
If the entire loving universe was gone
All that i'm saying is that pain comes from you
From deep inside, don't run and hide
Unto thine own self you must be true
If you've ever laughed or ever cried
Now you could say i've had one too many
You could say i've had one too few
Either way, you know it's okay
I'd live on to fight just one more day
Call it a matter of foolish pride
But at least i could say that at least i tried
Once and forever, it's still all up to you
blues traveler - alone
I said "I love you"
She began to cry
She said she needed a friend
I said "I'll try"
Soon we'd say nothing
Somehow I never wondered why
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'd loved her always
She didn't know
I tried patience
Let a friendship grow
I tried to keep her
That's what made her go
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be
A love like hers
Ain't meant for guys like me
Some call me crazy
Some politely call me free
But either way you see
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact
Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act
'Cause you set me free
I'm a man among men
But when I think of what I missed it starts all again
Now alone in the darkness of each new day
My heart is on its own
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
Watch this bassman take me home
A low branch
Touching the water
Feels the currents take
A mighty
River bends her
But she won't break
No she won't
No she won't break
I said a candle's
Flame she dances
When a sudden
Tempest blows
She dwindles and dims
Against the cold, cold wind
And then she grows
And then she glows
I said she grows
I may never understand her
Her secret is not to know
Nothing for me to do with or for or to
But I just love to watch her grow
I said I love to watch her grow
I guess some day
Love will soon be here
And maybe then
I'll see things more clear
I guess I got excited
Cause it felt so near
And
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
But I know I'd give my life
Just to hold her now
And who knows
I might see her around
Hopes can always go up
Tears can only come down
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
blues traveler - american way
In the picture is a tepee
I can handle this every day
I'm down here at johnny's restaurant, and so
I don't care about em lagging in their way
Oh, the principles of power
Grow balanced every year
Though i may not survive, it's the next man
For whom the crowd should cheer
And this is the american way
Yeah this is the american way
Just roll the dice, and we come to play
Give me the american way
I could have come from sweden
But i would have gotten tired
And the struggle for my family's life or death
It keeps my heart inspired
Yes we like to face the gamble
And we love to make the stand
And we worship in the shopping malls
With lotto tickets in our hand
And this is the american way
Yeah this is the american way
Just roll the dice, and we come to play
Give me the american way
Call it a travesty or an empire
But i prefer to call it home
No matter trod the horseman
Will soon become to rome
I said maybe the rules are broken
But tradition's kept alive
There just isn't one miracle
But thirty little tries
Yeah, that's the american way
This is the american way
Yeah, this is the american way
All the players have been played and played and played
They love the american way
That's why we want to stay
Give up the american way
Just roll the dice and we come to play
blues traveler - and so it goes
Well I've been around this world and I'll tell you
some things
There ain't no free lunches, you gotta watch for the
strings
You stand up for your rights and then you try to hold
your ground
But only Lady Luck determines if you're up or you're
down
Oh faith in my friend and faith in my brother
And faith in my life, I don't know no other
You try to stay happy, you try to stay sane
You get a little pleasure and you get a little pain
You grab the brass ring, you know you've gotta try
You keep right on a-grabbing until the day you die
Life's a big gamble, you have to work on yet
It's a big card shuffle, you gave what you could get
You get your joy, you get to have your blows,
And where she stops, nobody knows
And so it goes...and so it goes...
I could tell you scary stories; I could tell you some
lies
It'll take much more than that for me to open your
eyes
So go anywhere you want to; do whatever you choose
And only Lady Luck determines if you win or you
lose...
Oh faith in my friend and faith in my brother
And faith in my life, I don't know no other
You try to stay happy, you try to stay sane
You get a little pleasure and you get a little pain
You grab the brass ring, you know you've gotta try
You keep right on a-grabbing until the day you die
Life's a big gamble, you have to work on yet
It's a big card shuffle, you gave what you could get
You get your joy, you get to have your blows,
And where she stops, nobody knows
And so it goes...and so it goes...
(Spoken)
"Do you know what I love about having this
microphone in front of my face where I've got this
groove going on behind me all solid and smooth? Well,
I'll tell you. Through the miracle of rock and roll, I
can say absolutely anything, anything at all that will
make some kind of sense in some poetic way to
somebody, somehow, somewhere. Observe closely...Hark!
What light through yon window breaks? Kids who live in
glass houses should learn to draw rakes. Them that
takes cakes that the Parsee man bakes makes dreadful
mistakes. And those that think we can't do Chicago are
big lousy fakes."
"I don't have to explain it; I just gotta make it
up...oh, I guess I should play now."
"How is everybody feeling? You know, we're
feeling so good, we're gonna hit it for you one time
(1 hit). Ho! Ho! Ho! Ha! Eh! We feel so good, we're
gonna hit it for you seven times (7 hits). This isn't
something you get every day, this is interdimensional,
cross-rip timekeeping. Okay...this has never been done
before...we're gonna hit it for you 13 times in honor
of Friday the 13th. (13 hits) That felt pretty good!
You know, I'm afraid we're going to have to hit it for
you 67 times. (67
hits)"
"Okay...all right now...you guys have been such a
wonderful audience...we'd be terribly remiss if we
didn't teach you a little something...the incredible
masculine and feminine dance of awesome and articulate
power...the dance that wowed them in Nigeria in the
early 1800's...a dance that wowed them in the beaches
of the USA in 1965...that's right, I'm talking about
the one, the only, Wobbling Surfer. Now, in order to
demonstrate this dance of incredible awesome power,
you need a lot of people; you need a line, as a matter
of fact. This has been a dance that has been banned
from most line-dancing establishments, most of your
country/western line-dancing establishments have not
had this dance in their bar because it causes nudity
and profane language. But to demonstrate this dance,
we're going to use the world famous Blues Traveler
Stage Crew. Stage Crew, please report, in uniform!
Ladies and gentlemen, the virile and masculine, Blues
Traveler Stage Crew...this one particularly
scary-looking. All right...now wh
at you've got to do is you gotta stand
sideways...picture yourself on a surfboard...knees
slightly bent...arms out at a comfortable distance
from the rest of your body, while your torso remains
attached to your head, using the eyebrows to support
the lower lumbar signal angle of your forehead, try
and imagine yourself on a surfboard, and you're deep,
deep, deep in the Mediterranean Ocean, and there's
Libyan terrorists on the left of you, sharks on the
right of you, and you have to wobble, wobble, wobble
your way to a safer, trimmer you. Now I'd like to
point out that several doctors had to operate on my
leg to make it safe for me to do the Wobbling Surfer.
But never before has this been attempted...this jump
could very well kill all the people onstage - we don't
know because there's petroleum-based alloys in my leg
that could possibly explode into a ball of fire! But
we're going to try it for you this one time; we're
going to try it for you now, we're gonna do it, and we
don't know how - Ladies and Gentlemen,
the Wobbling Surfer, for you, presented for your
viewing pleasure...1, 2, 1, 2, 3, surf! Go for the
jump!"
Oh faith in my friend and faith in my brother
And faith in my life, I don't know no other
You try to stay happy, you try to stay sane
You get a little pleasure and you get a little pain
You grab the brass ring, you know you've gotta try
You keep right on a-grabbing until the day you die
Life's a big gamble, you have to work on yet
It's a big card shuffle, you gave what you could get
You get your joy, you get to have your blows,
And where she stops, nobody knows
And so it goes...and so it goes...
"If only my Aunt Sylvia could see me now..."
blues traveler - annie laurie
Maxwelltons braes are bonnie

Her brow, is like the snowdrift
Her neck is like the swan
Her face it is the fairest
That eer the sun shone on
That eer the sun shone on
And dark blue is her ee
And for bonnie annie laurie
Id lay me down and dee
Id lay me down and dee
blues traveler - anything goes
New york city, shackled and old
Strung out on moonlight, waiting to be sold
When the sun goes down, the city's just shining on
People running around wondering where the time has gone
When the sun goes down...
Anything goes
Waiting on the corner to see what comes around
Just hanging on the corner to see what's coming down
When the sun goes down, the city's just shining on
People running around wondering where the time has gone
When the sun goes down...
Anything goes
I said anything goes
Anything goes
You know anything goes
Waiting for sunday, gonna be a star
Just hanging out for sunday, i think all of us are
When the sun goes down, the city's just shining on
People running around wondering where the time has gone
When the sun goes down...
Anything goes
blues traveler - as we wonder
Last night the devil came out to play with me
Singing "let the games begin"
You know the harder i try to play his game
The more impossible to win
And i wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams
Playing for some dimes the rate of exchange
Laughing all the way
You know it doesn't really matter what they put us through
As long as we get to play
And i wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams
Feeling the crowd on a (seasonal/locational reference)
Freedom to call the tunes
You know you're the ones we came here for
And we won't be leaving soon
And we wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams
And we wonder aloud
We wonder aloud
Wonder, wonder, wonder aloud
