Mott The Hoople - Family Anthology (2005) by Mott The Hoople (보컬) on maniadb.com

A mountain train's coming down the track
She ain't wasting time
She's carrying me cause I'm going back
Right to the Delaware line
She knows well I ain't been anywhere
Because I crawl back every time to her
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain

Troubles and tears
I'll take it in years
I left so many behind
I may be a train rearranged
Who knows what I'll find
But everything's better in my life I know
I can face any grades that I'm on
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
(alright)
(hey hey hey)

(oh) I'm walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
When she talks to me I know she sees
Where I'm heading to
She sits winks takes it all in
Just admires the view
And if I had a choice in life
I'd take that mountain for my wife
I'm walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Walkin' with a mountain
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas
Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas

Momma's little jewel just out of school fresh from the nuns that made you

Don't know why but I'm going to try to re-in-celibate you
Momma's little jewel you got the rules but I'll be the one to educate you
Take what's mine take a little time and don't bite the hand that makes you

True when I hold you near well I'm
Caught even when I'm on the road well I'm
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun

What you want I can't buy so why don't you try it my way
What you look for ain't in the book but I'm going to show you someday

Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you with my [w...?] when I
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun

You won't rise you won't shine you won't even try boys
You've got brains if you love changes you'll have to play with my toys
Momma's little jewel such a little fool thinks she can learn all the answers

She don't want to feel she just want to steal don't want to take any chances


True when I hold you near well I'm
Caught even when I'm on the road when I'm
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Laugh in the evening when I
Catch you with my watering gun when I
Wearing my scorpio faces when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I
Come in the midnight sun when I

Forgot my six-string raiser - hit the sky
Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised
Well I rang the information - my axe was cold
They said she rides the train to Oreoles
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail
All the way from Memphis
'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail
Well I got to Oreoles y'know - it took a month
Now its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
And there was my guitar, electric junk.
Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers, you're all the same.
Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed.
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole
All the way from Memphis
Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes
All the way from Memphis
As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold
'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old
Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
All the way from Memphis
Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole!
All the way from Memphis

Baby if you just say you still care
Follow you most anywhere
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone.
And, in the darkest night,
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
I'll keep you safe and all right
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die
Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone?
No matter if fools say we can't win
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
I know I'll fall in love again
Baby in love and sweet romance
So sing - we still got a chance
Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone?
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it lie
There's a rockabilly party on Saturday night
Are you gonna be there
Gonna bring your records
(Well I got my invite)
Made it!
(Ohh, will do)
Won't you roll away the stone
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone
Don't you let it die
Come on roll
Come on roll, yeah
Come on roll
I want you to roll
Come on rollCome on..... yeah

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide,
how he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five,
speed jive, don't want to stay alive
when you're twenty-five.
and Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face,
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
funky little boat race.
The television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks,
oh man, I need TV when I got T Rex
oh brother you guessed
All the young dudes (Hey dudes!),
carry the news (Where are ya?),
I'm a dude dad.
boogaloo dudes (Stand up, come on!),
All the young dudes (I want to hear you.),
carry the news.
carry the news (I want to see you.),
boogaloo dudes (I want to talk to you - all of you.),
carry the news.

Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
but he can kick like a mule - it's a real mean team
but we can love, oh yes - we can love.
And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones,
we never got it off on that revolution stuff,
what a drag - too many snags.
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine,
I've got to race some cat to bed,
is that concrete all around,
or is it in my head, yeah,
All the young dudes (Hey dudes!),
I'm a dude dad.
carry the news (Where are ya?),
All the young dudes (I want to hear ya.),
boogaloo dudes (Stand up!),
Carry the news
carry the news (I want to see you.),
boogaloo dudes (I want to relate to you.),
carry the news.
carry the news (Let's hear the news - come on!),
All the young dudes (C'mon dudes!),
boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you),
carry the news.
carry the news (I want you.),
All the young dudes (Hey you there - you with the glasses!),
carry the news (Are you all his friends?).
boogaloo dudes (I want you in the front!),
All the young dudes (Will you bring him down, 'cause I want him!),
carry the news
carry the news (There you go!).
boogaloo dudes (I want him right here, bring him come on - bring him!),
boogaloo dudes (How do you feel?),
All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years!),
carry the news (Sick!).carry the news (There you go!),

Well how can I be like any guy
Why do they have to make me run
What do they care about the clothes that I wear
What do they get from making fun
Well we got a lot of space
And if you don't like my face
It ain't me who's going anywhere
Cause I don't care
Let them laugh at me
If that's so fair
Well then I don't have to care
To be free until they laugh at me
And I'll cry for you
And I'll pray for you
And I'll do everything that the man upstairs said to do
I'll do it all for you babe
Yes well I'll do it all for you
It's got to be sometime
It's got to be somewhere
I'm going to make that achievement
Then maybe the next time
That you don't wear a silk tie
And I can walk by and say hi
Say hi instead of why
Instead of why babe
Instead of why
Instead of why babe
Yeah!
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Instead of why babe
Why do you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me
Why do you laugh at me
Yeah!

Baby took me out last night
Got a little cadillac bite.
Shook me about - inside out
Didn't get home 'till light.
She's a grower, a goer - you gotta get to know her
No chooser, a cruiser - you turn around she'll lose you
Burned out as the light turned green
Smoke-screened off her rail.
He didn't see me comin' but he shoulda saw me runnin'
Faster than the U.S. mail.
She's a speeder, a leader
You're really gotta meet her
You see her, she thrills you, you look at her she'll kill you.
Listen, fella, baby don't you sell her
Don't you try and steal her away
Hush, man logs in her dam
Think you better fade away
Detonator, jail-baiter - a radar radiator
She'll annoy ya, destroy ya - she'll bring ya down in fire
Create her, mistreat her - no use tryin' to beat her
Admit it, she's greater, shame you weren't born later.

Oh angeline, i love you, your mouth is like a sting
And when i close my eyes each night, i often hear you sing
Imagination's hidden book, you wrote it on the wing
And when i vowed to comfort you, well you swallowed everything

Angeline, oh my angeline
My sweet angeline - you have rendered me unseen
I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen

Well your body it is broken in so many different ways
And when i stoop to find your head, well it disappeared in haze.
Your blood flows like the finest juice - the kiss of burgundy
And where it comes from no one knows, but where it's going i can't see

Angeline, oh my angeline



My sweet angeline - (y'know) you have rendered me unseen
I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen

Angeline, oh my angeline
You little angeline - you have rendered me unseen
I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen

And your crystal-coloured cardboard bins - attack me from the paint
And i think that i am getting lost among the swollen states
Oh rescue me or bury me, for i care not what you do
There is just one thing that i want to say am i really you

Angeline, oh my angeline
My sweet angeline - you have rendered me unseen
I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen

Everybody hazy shell-shocked and crazy
Screaming for the face at the window
Jeans for the genies dresses for the dreamies
Fighting for a place in the front row

Oh oh oh good for your body it's good for your soul
Oh oh let's go it's the golden age of rock and roll

Well you get a little buzz send for the fuzz
Guitars gettin' higher and higher
The dude in the paint thinks he's gonna faint
Stoke more coke on the fire

Oh oh oh gotta stay young you can never grow old
Oh oh the golden age of rock and roll

The golden age of rock and roll will never die
As long as the children feel the need to laugh and cry
Don't wanna wreck, just recreation
Don't wanna fight but if you turn us down
We're gonna turn you 'round
Don't mess with the sound
The show's gotta move everybody groove
There ain't no trouble on the streets now
So if the going gets rough don't you blame us

Oh oh oh gotta stay young you can never grow old
Oh oh the golden age of rock and roll
