Nobody Knows you when you’re Down and Out – Eric Clapton
Once I lived the life of a millionaire Spent all my money (lord) and I didn't care Taking my friends out for a mighty good time Drinking fancy liquor, champagne and wine
But then I began to fall so low I didn't have a dollar, I had no place to go Well if I get my hands on a dollar again I'll hang on to it till the eagle grins
Nobody knows you When your down and out my friend In my pocket I havent got a pennie And as for friends I ain't got to many
But when I get back on my feet again Everybody wants to be my long lost friend It's mighty strange with out any doubt Nobody Knows you when your down and out

The Chariot - The Cat Empire Em / G / Am / C / D Verse 1: This is a song that came upon me one night When the news it had been telling me About one more war and one more fight And 'aeh' I sighed but then I thought about my friends Then I wrote this declaration Just in case the world end Verse 2: Our guns We shot them in the things we said Ah we didn't need no bullets Cos we rely on some words instead Kill someone in argument Outwit them with our brains And we'd kill ourselves laughing At the funny things we'd say Verse 3: And bombs We had them saved for special times When the crew would call a shakedown We break down a party landmine Women that so sexy They explode us with their looks Ah we blowing up some speakers Jumping round till the ground shook Chorus: Am Em Our weapons were our instruments G D C Made from timber and steel Am We never yielded to conformity Em But stood like kings G In a chariot that's riding on a D Record wheel
Verse 4: And missiles They were the roadtrips that we launched T-t-tripping across this island Starting missions at the break of dawn Yawn and smile say What direction shall we take? Somewhere where it warm and wet This be the route we'd always take and Verse 5: And our airforce flying When the frisbee in the sky Have a session while we're smoking Now we're feeling extra high And we'd sneak into a carpark With the skaties on our back And we're flying down the levels howling On the attack now on the attack Verse 6: And battles They happened in these dancehalls See we'd rather fight with music Choosing one the rhythm war Battle at these shakedowns And we battle at these gigs We do battle in our bedrooms Made some sweet love to the beat Bridge: Then our allies grew Wherever we would roam See whenever we're together Any stranger feel at home In a way we are an army But this army not destruct No instead we're doing simple things Good loving find it run amuck Verse 7: This be a declaration Written about my friends It's engraved into this song So they know I'm not forgetting them See maybe if the world contained More people like these Then the news would not be telling me About all that warfare endlessly and Chorus 56

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing You believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs The Lord knows that this world is cruel I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool and in love with somebody don't make them love you Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance Putting up with them wasn't worth ever having you Maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time so please ignore These next few lines because they're directed at you I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool I keep playing your part But it's not my scene Want this part to twist I've had enough mystery Keep building it up Then shooting me down But I'm already down Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting Well if I was in your position I'd put down all my amuntintion I'd wonder why it had taken me so long But the lord knows that I'm not you and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

G Am (play it forever)
There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Buisness men they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None would ever compromise Nobody of this world
No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through that And this is not our place So let us stop talking falsely now The hour's getting late All along the watchtower Princess kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl
All along the watchtower All along the watchtower All along the watchtower

Verse 1: E D A E Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste E D A E I've been around for long, long years, stole many a man's soul and faith E D A E I was around when Jesus Christ had his moments of doubt and pain E D A E I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate Chorus: B Pleased to meet you B E Hope you guess my name B But what's puzzling you B E Is the nature of my game Verse 2: I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change I killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank, held a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank Chorus: Verse 3: I watched with glee while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?", when after all it was you and me Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste And I lay traps for troubadours, who get killed before they reach Bombay Chorus: Verse 4: Just as every cop is criminal, and all the sinners, Saints As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer, 'cause I'm in need of some restraint So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste Chorus:

Where do you go to my lovely – Peter Sarstedt C Em Dm G You talk like Marlene Dietrich and you dance like Zizi Jean-Maire. C Em Dm G Your clothes are all made by Balmain and there's diamonds and pearls in your hair. C Em Dm G You live in a fancy apartment off the Boulevard St. Michel C Em Dm G Where you keep your Rolling Stones records and a friend of Sasha Distel. C Em Dm G You go to the embassy parties where you talk in Russian and Greek C Em And the young men who move in your circles, Dm G Dm Em G7 Em C they hang on every word you speak, yes they do. Chorus: C Em Dm G But where do you go to my lovely... when you're alone in your bed. C Em Tell me the thoughts that surround you. Dm G Dm/Em/G7/Em/C I want to look inside your head, yes I do. Verse 2. I've seen all your qualifications that you got from the Sorbonne And the painting you stole from Picasso. Your loveliness goes on and on. When you go on your summer vacation, you go to Juan-les-Pins With your carefully designed topless swimsuit You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs. And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz with the others of the jet set. And you sip your Napoleon brandy, but you never get your lips wet. Verse 3 You're in between twenty and thirty, a very desirable age. You're body is firm and inviting, but you live on a glittering stage. Your name it, is heard in high places. You know the Agha Khan. He sent you a race horse for Christmas and you keep it just for fun, for a laugh,aha aha. They say that when you get married, it will be to a millionaire. But they don't realize where you came from and I wonder if they really care, or give a damn. Verse 4 Ah, remember the back streets of Naples, two children begging in rags. Both touched with a burning ambition to shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try. So look into my face Marie-Claire and remember just who you are. Then go and forget me forever, But I know you still bear the scar deep inside, yes, you do. Chorus (alternative) Ah, I know where you go to my lovely... when you're alone in your bed. I know the thoughts that surround you, cause I can look inside your head. 109

Hey, Porter! Hey Porter! It's getting light outside This old train is puffin' smoke and I have to strain my eyes. But ask that engineer if he will blow his whistle please, 'Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves, and I smell that Southern breeze.
Hey, Porter! Hey, Porter! Please get my bags for me, I need nobody to tell me now that we're in Tennessee. Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream. We're not so far from home so take it easy on the steam.
Hey Porter! Hey Porter! Please open up my door. When they stop this train I'm gonna get off first 'cause I can't wait no more. Tell that engineer I say, "Thanks a lot. I didn't mind the fare. I'm gonna set my feet on Souther soil and breathe that Southern air."
