Laura Nyro - Eli & The 13th Confession (1968) by Laura Nyro (보컬) on maniadb.com

Yes, I'm ready, so come on, Luckie.
Well, there's an avenue of Devil who believe in stone.
You can meet the captain at the dead-end zone.
What Devil doesn't know is that Devil can't stay, doesn't know he's seen his day.
Oh, Luckie's taking over and his clover shows.
Devil can't get out of hand cause Luckie's taking over and what Luckie says goes.
Dig them potatoes if you've never dug your girl before, poor little Devil,
He's a backseat man to Luckie forever more.

Yes, I'm ready, so come on, Luckie, Luckie inside of me, inside of my mind, inside of my mind.

Don't go falling for Naughty. Don't go falling for Naughty, he's a dragon with a double bite.
Sure can do his shortchanging out of sight.
An artist of a sort but a little bit short of luck, this lucky night.
Oh, Luckie's taking over and his clover shows.
Devil can't get out of hand cause Luckie's taking over and what Luckie says goes.


Dig them potatoes if you've never dug your girl before, poor little Naughty,
He's a backseat man to Luckie forever, a backseat man to Luckie forever more, hey, hey, hey.
It's a real good day to go get Luckie, go get Luckie.

I'm gonna go get Luckie, I'm gonna go get Luckie.
I'm gonna go get, I'm gonna go get, you gotta go, get on down and get away.
You gotta go, get on down and get away. You gotta go, get on down and get away.
You gotta go, get on down and get away from you, hey hey, from you, yes,
Yes, I'm ready, yes, I'm ready, ready for Luckie.

Silver was the color
Winter was a snowbell
Mother of the wind boys
Livin' off the lovewell

[Chorus:]
With Lu
And everybody's callin' Luie
Luie, Luie
You got a thing about you
Keep the light goin' for Luie
And Luie keeps on pushin' through
Through
Keeps on pushin'

Amber was the color
Summer was a flameride
Cookin' up the noon roads
Walkin' on god's good side
I was walkin' on god's good side
God's good side

[Chorus]

Through
He keeps on pushin'

I will always be fair
Be there for Lu
Forever and ever more

last call for the poverty train
last call for the poverty train
it looks good and dirty on shiny light strip
and if you don't get beat you got yourself a trip
You can see the walls roar see your brains on the floor
become God become cripple become funky and split
why was i born
i saw the devil and he's smiling at me
i heard my bones cry devil why's it got to be
devil played with my brother devil drove my mother
now the tears in the gutter are floodin the sea
why was i born
oh baby it looks good and dirty them shiny lights glow
a million night tramps tricks and tracks will come and go
you're starvin today but who care anyway baby it feels like i'm dying
now i swear there's something better than gettin off on sweet cocaine
it feels so good it feels so good
getting off the poverty train
morning

No one hurries home to lonely women
No one hurries home to lonely women
A gal could die without her man
And no one knows it better than
Lonely women

No one knows the blues like lonely women do
No one knows the blues like lonely women, yeah
Blues that make the walls rush in
Walls that tell you where you've been
And you've been to the hollow
Lonely women yeah

Let me die early morning
Whoa bitter tears, whoa bitter tears
Uptight downpour

Don't got no children to be grandmother for, be grandmother for
She don't believe no more
She don't believe no one hurries home to call you baby
Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody knows
But no one, no one knows.

Uptown
Goin down
Ole life line
Walkin down faster
Walkin with the master of Time

My lady woke up
And she broke down
She got up
She let go
Take me Timer
Shake me Timer
Timer let it blow
Let it blow

Oh I belong to Timer
He changed my face
You're a fine one Timer
You've got me walkin'
Through the gates of space

I keep rememberin'
Indoors that I used to walk through
Baby I'm not tryin' to talk you down
But I could walk through them doors
Onto a pleasure ground
It was sweet and funny
A pleasure ground
Didn't know about money
Didn't know about Timer
Did not know about Timer

Holdin' to my cradle at the start
But now my hand is open
And now my hand is ready
For my heart
So let the wind blow Timer
I like her song
And if the song goes minor
I won't mind

And Timer knows the lady's gonna love again
Time says the lady rambles never more
If you love me true
I'll spend my life with you
And Timer
You're a jigsaw Timer
God is a jigsaw
Soulin' with
Soulin' with Timer

Can you surry,
Can you picnic?
Can you surry,
Can you picnic?
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There'll be lots of time and wine
Red yellow honey
Sassafras and moonshine
Stoned Soul

Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Rain and sun come in akin
And from the sky
Come the lord and the lightning
Stoned Soul

There'll be trains of blossoms
There'll be trains of music
There'll be trains of trust
Trains of gold and dust
Sweet trains of thought
Can you surry?

Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
Surry down to a stoned soul picnic
There'll be lots of time and wine
Red yellow honey
Sassafras and moonshine
Stoned soul

Oo la, la, la, oo la, la, la, la.
Emily and her love to be,
Carved in a heart on a berry tree
But it's only a little farewell love spell,
Time to design a woman.

Touch me, oh wake me, Emily
You ornament the Earth for me
Emily, you're the natural snow,
The unstudied sea, you're a cameo
And I swear you were born a weavers lover,
Born for the loom's desire.

Move me, oh sway me
Emily, the ornament, the Earth for me.
Emmie, your Momma's been calling you.
Who stole Mamma's heart and cuddled in her garden?
Darling Emmie, la, la, la, oo la, la la.

You're my friend and I loved you,
Emily, Emily, Emily, Emily.
She got the way to move me, Emmie.
She got the way to move me, yeah.
She got the way to move me, Emmie.
She got the way to move me, get up and move me...

My lover's mouth
Been so good to me
My lover's mouth
Been so good to me
It promised joy for a jailhouse
And a broken key

[Chorus:]
Woah, God, I got a job
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Woah, God, it's hard
On the chamber's walls of heartache
Baby don't love me
Shuffle
'Cause another one do,
Another one do

My man's run off
Leave me motherless
My man's run off
Leave me motherless
That man, he ran
Just like a break in a dam

[Chorus]

Three, four, five, seven
Oh, you'll never get to heaven
Don't talk wonder
'Cause God broke thunder above
You were lookin' to hurt
And I was hurtin' to love
My my my my my
My my, well,
If it isn't everlovin' you
My my, well,
If it isn't everlovin' you

Go live as long as an elephant
Go live as long as an elephant
But there won't be
More lovin' woman than me
Woah, got to get gone
Better ride from the hill on my heartache
Woah, got to get gone
Better ride from the hill on heartache
Baby don't love me
Shuffle 'cause another one...

My baby don't love me?
Hitchike
And damn be done
Damn be done [Repeat x 7]

Farmer Joe, I'm the meanest woman you know,
Woman you know, she said,
Farmer Joe, I'm the meanest woman you know,
Woman you know.
I let you slide about an hour ago, now.

Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run.
Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run, run, run, run.
Farmer boy, get your gun, run, run, run.
Farmer boy, get your gun and run, run, run like a son of a gun from love.
Running from the mindreader, run baby, run.

Got a date with the town shoe maker you know,
Baby you know,
She said, I can't wait for your cornfields to grow,
Baby to grow.
Whoa, baby, whoa baby, give my bags and let the good wind blow.
Give my bags and let the good wind blow.
Give my bags and let the good wind blow.
I've got to see about a man I know.

Fire, flames of gold rush my mind.
Fire, flames of gold rush my mind.
Sock it to the railroad, baby.
Baby, there's a train whistle coming.
Baby, there's a train whistle coming.

Once it was alright, alright, baby.
Once it was alright, alright, baby.
Once it was alright, alright, no.

Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir,
They fill me like melons,
Touch me with chivalry,
Truly I know, truly I know who you are,
December will bear our affair,
Running on streets of delight and Decemberry ice.

They'll see me, I'm ageless,
Loving you timelessly,
Love-colored soul, love-colored soul kissing spice,
Yes, my love, I take my coffee in the morning,
And all your love,
A spoonful or so make us grow.

Mama was clever, my mama was clever,
And my daddy loved her forever,
Forever!

Kisses from you I'll remember,
Kisses from you in the flames of December,
Kisses from you, true they are,
Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir.
Oh, mainstream marzipan sweet,
Baking out in December heat.

Super summer sugar coppin'
In the mornin'
Do your shoppin' baby
Love my lovething
You may disappear
But you'll be back I swear
Would you love to love me baby?
I would love to love you baby now
Would you love to love me baby?
I would love to love you baby now
Super summer sugar croppin'
In the mornin'
Do you shoppin' baby
Love my lovething
Super ride inside my lovething
You may leave the fair
But you'll be back I swear
Would you love to love me baby?
I would love to love you baby now
Would you love to love me baby?
I would love to love you baby now
I keep hearin' mother cryin'
I keep hearin' daddy through his grave
"Little girl, of all the daughters
You were born a woman
Not a slave"
Oh I hate my winsome lover
Tell him I've had others
At my breast
But tell him he held my heart
And only now am I a virgin
I confess
Love my love thing
Love is surely gospel

Silver was the color
Winter was a snowbell
Mother of the wind boys
Livin' off the lovewell

[Chorus:]
With Lu
And everybody's callin' Luie
Luie, Luie
You got a thing about you
Keep the light goin' for Luie
And Luie keeps on pushin' through
Through
Keeps on pushin'

Amber was the color
Summer was a flameride
Cookin' up the noon roads
Walkin' on god's good side
I was walkin' on god's good side
God's good side

[Chorus]

Through
He keeps on pushin'

I will always be fair
Be there for Lu
Forever and ever more
Everybody
Everybody everybody
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

And everybody's callin' Luie
Callin' Luie
Everybody's callin' Luie callin'
My man
My man Luie

Callin' Luie
My man Luie
Callin' Luie
Callin' Luie

People and the captain
Callin' my man Luie
