Mercedes Benz

Oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?
Oh lord, wont you buy me a color tv ?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh lord, wont you buy me a color tv ?
Oh lord, wont you buy me a night on the town ?
Im counting on you, lord, please dont let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh lord, wont you buy me a night on the town ?
Everybody!
Oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?
My friends all drive porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh lord, wont you buy me a mercedes benz ?
Thats it!

No Reason For Livin

( from the soundtrack of the motion picture janis )
I aint got no reason to livin, I cant find no cause to die
Lord, I aint got no reason for livin, you give me no cause to die
Lord, I aint got no reasons for stay here, give me no cause to try

Well, I aint got mother to love me, aint got no father to care
Lord, I aint got mother to love me, aint got no father to care

Lord, I aint got no reason for walkin, guess Im gonna fall or standstill
Lord I aint got no reason for goin, give me no cause to stay here

St. James Infirmary

I went down to old Joe's bar room, on the corner by the square
Well, the drinks were bein' served as usual, and this motley crowd was there
Well, on my left stood Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red
When he told me that sad story, these were the words he said:
I went down to the St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table, so cold, and fine, and fair
Go ahead!
Let her go, let her go, God bless her, wherever she may be
She can search this world over, never find another man like me
Yes, sixteen coal black horses, to pull that rubber tied hack
Well, it's seventeen miles to the graveyard, but my baby's never comin' back
Well, now you've heard my story, well, have another round of booze
And if anyone should ever, ever ask you, I've got the St. James infirmary blues!

Intruder

You come around here
Trying to make your demand.
Youve got a need, darling,
Ive seen it grow and expand.
Yeah, you want to reveal my life
With your own two hands.
Well, tell me now
What are you trying to do ?
Those holes in your life
Show what you require.
Youre needin new eyes,
Oh lord, honey take any wire ?
Yeah youve gotta save us all
Before the next big fire.
Tell me now
What are you trying to do ?
Walked in my life,
Child, and I dont even know your name.
You put others around behind ya
As if they were lame.

You got the mind like a child, girl,
You got to fight like a woman.
Well, I think youre so wild, girl,
Like the sun in the morning.
Im gonna turn you on
To where you belong
Pull you tight
