Rory Gallagher - Tattoo (2002) by Rory Gallagher (보컬) on maniadb.com

Tattoo'd lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.

When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.

Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.

Yes I'm a,
Fair ground baby.
Wonder what made me,
Fall for the pearly queen.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the class bell sound.

From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.

You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Alright

Now hear it on the loud speaker say,
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see,
Yeah he's a death cheater,
Some kind of central heater,
Be sure to save a seat for me.

Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie,
She's no baby,
The law came,
And tried to close her sideshow down.
But soon she had the D.A. cheering,
The police chief wearing,
Her garter for a crown.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the school bell sound.

From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.

You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Yeah

Tattoo'd lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.

When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.

Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.
Tattoo'd lady

If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?
If I was a baby you wouldn't let me fall
If I was an outlaw you wouldn't have me caught
If I was a tiger you wouldn't have me caged
If I was somebody else you would act your age
You'll miss out if you leave me out of your day and night
I will try to make you see and hear what I got to say


It's all about me and you, alright
If I was a blind man then you'd make me see
If I was a deaf man you'd give me hears to hear
If I was a lame man you'd give me legs to walk
But if you were true to me, baby
You would listen when I talk
If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot
If I was the atom then you'd split me into three
But when I want to see you, baby
How come you lock your door on me?

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you
They made sure they threw away the mould
It comes as no surprise to me
That I wanna be in your vicinity

If I stand close to you, I'm not sure if I'm really there
With my feet on the ground but my head's lost in the air
Oh, how I wish you could see
That I'd love to be in your vicinity

Where would I go, what would I do
If you should run from me?
How does it show when you're to lose
Will you explain to me?
There's something growing
There's something showing
There's something won't let me be

Where would I go, what would I do
If you should run from me?
How does it show when you're to lose
Will you explain to me?
There's something growing
There's something showing
There's something won't let me be

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you
They made sure they threw away the mould
Oh, how I wish you could be
I wanna be in your vicinity

Well, I've heard that one day
Everything comes to him who waits
Well, that may be so, but you know it might be too late
Oh, how I'd love to see
That I wanna be in your vicinity

I could sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Oh yeah...

Looking for my baby,
But everywhere I've gone.
Tell me I just missed her,
It's gone on too long.

Well, I'd go up on a mountain,
And I'd fight a wild cat.
Walk over Niagara,
And all the way back.
Get lost in the jungle,
And I'd live up a tree.

That's what I would want to do,
If you would stay with me.
Oh yeah...

Looking for you baby,
Gone from pillar to post.
Wverywhere I'd just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.

Well I'm looking for you baby,
In the cafe's and the bar.
All the places is glad to know you,
And they say you cannot go too far.
But you've gone far enough baby,
If I find out I've done nothing wrong.


Don't have to ask who's the fool,
I won't be the one.
Owwwww.......not a loser...

Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane,
Of a Jumbo Jet.
Walk over the Ocean
And I'd never once get wet.
Go skating on an iceberg,
And that's what I would once do.
Lay it down a dozen times,
Just to hear you say,
"I Love You".

Looking for you baby,
But everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.

Well, I could,
Sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Yeah...

Looking for you baby,
Everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
You know, it's gone on too long.
Yeah..
Gone too long baby.
Yeah..

This hotel bar is full of people
The piano man is really laying it down
Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple
So why tonight should I wear a frown?

The joint is jumping all around me
And my mood is really not in style
Right now the blues flock to surround me
But I'll break out after a while

Well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay

Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood
On a windy bay

Why ask how I feel?
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker
Lost my captain and my crew

I'm standing on the landing
And there's no one there but me
That's where you'll see me
Looking out on the deep blue sea

There's a song on the lips of everybody
There's a smile all 'round the room
There's conversation overflowing
So why must I sit here in the gloom

This hotel bar has lost all its people
The piano man has caught the last bus home
The old bartender sleeps in the corner
So why must I still be here?, I don't know, let me tell you

I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

Yes, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay

Well, I'm a million miles
I'm a million miles, I'm a million miles
Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, oh, oh yeah

Admit it baby, you've gone and broke your word
Now ain't it crazy, I believed every word I've heard
Imagine baby, we were just like one
But that's it baby, I believe you've had your fun
I'm mad when I'm mad and I'm mad with you right now
I'm mad when I'm mad and I'm mad with you right now
Yeah, someone told me time and time again
To watch you closely, but I didn't heed a word they said
Now something matter, but I know in time


You'll go your way and walk right out of my mind
Who cooled your goose, who took the wind out of your sails?
Who cooled your goose, who took the wind out of your sails?
You blew it baby, now look what you've done
You made me fall down, now you wanna run
Supposin' baby, we had just now met
Well, I guess I'd fall again, so why should I have some regrets?
Just a fool for you baby, you know I just can't say no
Just a fool for you baby, you know I just can't say no

I can see the painting on the wall,
Mixtures of different colors.
And I go walking in the Arizona sun,
Slow walking peace of mind.

The cactus blooms, the sand dunes,
No city lights, I can see for miles,
And my mind goes on forever.

The sun goes to bed,
Leaving sky of firey red.
Each step takes me closer to heaven.

All is full, all is nice, and all is well,


But when I turn I can see my fellow man,
Fighting in the city streets,
And dieing where they dwell.
Each step takes them closer to heaven.

I can see the painting on the wall,
Mixtures of different colors.
And I go walking in the Arizona sun,
Each step takes me closer to heaven.

I go walking in the Arizona sun,
I go walking in the Arizona sun,
I go walking in the Arizona sun.

I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.
Well, I don't want it all, just want a little bit.

Just a eeny weeny bit,
A teeny weeny bit,
Of your love.

Turn your love down low, just want one bit.
Turn your love down low, just want a little bit.

I want a eeny weeny bit,
A teeny weeny bit,
Of your love.

Yeah...

Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.
Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.

I want a eeny weeny bit,


A teeny weeny bit,
Of your love.

Yeah...

Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.
Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.

I want a eeny weeny bit, and a teeny weeny bit,
A eeny weeny bit, and a teeny weeny bit,

I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.
Well, I don't want it all, I just want a little bit.

Just a eeny weeny bit,
I want a eeny weeny bit,
I want a eeny weeny bit,
Eeny weeny bit,
I want a eeny weeny bit,
Eeny weeny bit.
