Blind Leading The Blind Lyrics
[M and L: T. Eriksson] In empty words the truth is spoken Caught in a web of lies the silence is broken Believing all just take it for granted Deep down within your mind the seeds they have planted [BRIDGE] You live your life but you cannot see, cannot hear, cannot believe How can I explain to you
[M and L: T. Eriksson] In empty words the truth is spoken Caught in a web of lies the silence is broken Believing all just take it for granted Deep down within your mind the seeds they have planted [BRIDGE] You live your life but you cannot see, cannot hear, cannot believe How can I explain to you
Five thousand lightyears from Birdland
But I'm still preachin' the rythym
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
Years from the land of the Bird
And I am still feelin' the spirit
Five thousand lightyears from Birdland
But I know people can hear it
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, Then played it
Well stated
Birdland
It happened down in Birdland
In the middle of that hub
I remember one jazz club
Where we went to pat feet
Down on 52nd Street
Everybody heard that word
That they named it after Bird
Where the rythym swooped and swirled
The jazz corner of the world
And the cats they giged in there
Were beyond compare
Birdland, I'm singing Bir
Sitting Doing Nothing Lyrics
I'm just sitting doing nothing Wondering where I should go People tell me I'm just lazy Weather or not it's true I don't know So I'm just sitting doing nothing Wondering where I should go Many people that I've encountered Say they wish that they were free And I know that secretly All those people would really like to be me So even though t

Birdland, Old swingin' Birdland
Hey man, the music really turns you on (ya turn me on)
Really? Ya turn me around
And turn me on
Down them stairs, Lose them cares
Where? Down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king there
Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look
Where? Down in Birdland
Miles came through, Trane came too there
Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakie too
Where? Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall there
Down in Birdland, Yeah
There will never be nothin' such as that
No more, skoo be wah, no more
Down in Birdland, That's where it was at
I know, ah ah ah ah ah, I know
Back in them days bop was ridin' high
Hello, heh heh heh heh heh, Goodbye!

(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays Lyrics
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays 'Cause no matter how far away you roam When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze For the holidays you can't beat home, sweet home I met a man who lives in Tennessee And he was headin' for Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie From Pennsylvania folks are trav'lin' down To Dixie's sunny shore From Atlantic to Paci

How well those cats remember their first Birdland gig
To play in Birdland is an honor we still dig
Yeah, That club was like in another world
Sure enough, Yeah baby
All those cats were cookin' on
People just sat and they were steady lookin' on
Then Bird, He came and spread the word
(Birdland)
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did
Yes indeed he did, Yes he did Parker played in Birdland
Yes he really did
Yes indeed he really did told the truth way down in Birdland
Yes indeed he did, Yardbird Parker played in Birdland
Yes indeed he really did, Charlie Parker played in Birdland
Bird named it, Bird made it
Bird heard it, Then played it
Well stated

It happened down in Birdland
Everybody dug that beat<
Love For Real(feat. N'dea Davenport Lyrics
Her skin was soft and sweet, she wore sandals on her feet Side by side 'till we fell asleep in her mothers bed She stepped inside of me, said don't ever lie to me This heart of mine can be yours, yeah, that's what she said But I just played the role, broke the heart I stold Because I was young, and dumb and fucked up in the head [CHORUS] Do you wanna be loved for real, do you

Everybody stomped their feetHer skin was soft and sweet, she wore sandals on her feet Side by side 'till we fell asleep in her mothers bed She stepped inside of me, said don't ever lie to me This heart of mine can be yours, yeah, that's what she said But I just played the role, broke the heart I stold Because I was young, and dumb and fucked up in the head [CHORUS] Do you wanna be loved for real, do you
Everybody digs be bop
And they'll never stop
Down them stairs, Lose them cares
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Total swing, Bop was king
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Bird would cook, Max would look
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Miles came through, Trane came too
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Basie blew, Blakie too
Yeah, Down in Birdland
Cannonball played that hall
Yeah, Down in Birdland
(repeat under the following solo till fade)
Come in pairs, Down them stairs, Lose your cares
Him that cares gets it
Play the gate, Don't be late, It's a date
What d'ya know
Is it me, Is it you, It's a clue
Come in twos, Pay your dues, What can you lose?
Just your blues, So lose them!
