Joe Walsh

Fifteen years of rock and roll,
Fifteen years on the road.
(Can you turn up my guitar a little bit)
Fifteen years my guitar and me,
Played every song we know.
Fifteen years in a row.
I was a young man I used to be but I still can rock and roll.

Fifteen years been good to me,
Fifteen in a row.

Look through the crowd for the folks I know,
Fifteen years on the road.
Fifteen years they have stood by me,
Fifteen in a row.
If it’s a show they want, it’s a show they’ll see here we go.
Fifteen books, fifteen years of old,
Then I hit some luck,
Spent it all on rock and roll, booze, sex, and drugs.
God bless the roadies and god bless me.

Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm
Living a life of illusion
And oh, why can't we let it be
And see through the hole in this wall of confusion
I just can't help the feeling I'm
Living a life of illusion

Pow! Right between the eyes
Oh, how nature loves her little surprises
Wow! It all seems so logical now
It's just one of her better disguises
And it comes with no warning
Nature loves her little surprises
Continual crisis

Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day
Caught up in endless solutions
That have no meaning, just another hunch
Based upon jumping conclusions
Caught up in endless solutions
Backed up against a wall of confusion
Living a life of illusion

Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm
Living a life of illusion
And oh, why can't we let it be

Pow! Right between the eyes
Oh, how nature loves her little surprises
Wow! It all seems so logical now
It's just one of her better disguises

Continual crisis

Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day
Caught up in endless solutions
That have no meaning, just another hunch
Based upon jumping conclusions
Caught up in endless solutions
Backed up against a wall of confusion
Living a life of illusion

After the last race is run
The betting's over, the gate is closed
And then you remember who I am
And then you call, and we do it all again, again

And now the book has reached the end
We're running out of time, still we pretend
And I've got no time left to spend
And then you call and we do it all again, again

Again, again, again, again

After the last race is run

And I've got no time left to spend
And then you call and we do it all again, again

Again, again, again, again

I got the all night Laundry Mat blues
Washing everything I own except my shoes
I got makeup round the collar
And it smells like sweat
A dollar in the drier
And it ain't dry yet



If you wear clothes, you got to pay the dues
Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues
Yes you do
Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues

I got the all night Laundry Mat blues
Washing everything I own except my shoes
I got makeup round the collar
And it smells like sweat
A dollar in the drier
And it ain't dry yet



If you wear clothes, you got to pay the dues
Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues
Yes you do
Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues

We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up
All night long

We keep on grinnin' till the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum
All night long, all night long

Start in the morning and get the job done
Take care of bus'ness and we have some fun
All night long, all night long

We like a long neck and a good old song
Turn it up and then we sing along
Sing along
We're all stayin' up all night long

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up

You don't understand it

All of a sudden something's wrong

You take it for granted

All of a sudden time is gone

You put a little distance in between it

Hope it makes sense later on

You don't know what happened

Dreams never turn out like you planned

The next moment you wake up

Stranded in a one night stand

You put a little distance in between it

Until you seen it hope that later on

I know it's hard to wait that long


But right now baby

We both agree, something's wrong

Something's wrong

All of a sudden

May be weak and try again

But baby, baby, baby I don't know when

Until then

You put a little distance in between it

Until we seen it

Maybe later on

I know it's hard it seems so long

We both agree, oh baby

I know, I know.

Well I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song woo hoo hoo woo hoo hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night

Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again
Will it be dry tomorrow?
Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I m living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I

Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again
Will it be dry tomorrow?
Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I m living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I

I was standin' at the station

Out at the end of the line

Feelin' mad, just a bit impatient

And I wish that you would make up my mind

Yes I was out there on the platform

Pay phone keeps eatin' my dimes

And I still don't have an answer

And the train's leavin' right on time

I'm fallin' down


I'm fallin' down

Standin' at the station

Won the battle

Here I am, standin' at the station

Like a gen'ral just relieved of command

I'm fallin' down

I'm fallin' down

Listen to my bluebird sing
She can't tell you why
Deep within her heart, you see
She knows I must cry
Yeah, cry

If she sits, a lofty perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
She just thinks of you
Yeah you

So, get all those blues
Must be a thousand hues
And each is differently used
You just know

You sit there mes-o-merized
By the depth of her eyes
Can't be categorized

She got soul
She got soul
She got soul
She got soul

Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?

Soon she's going to fly away
Worries of her own
Find herself another day
And go home, go home

Lady luck just let you down, she's just another girl

Grins and snickers all around

Imitation pearl, bones

Mass inflation, welfare line... gross economy

Trade it all for what's behind

Curtain number three

Gourmet restaurant, best in town


Don't know what you ate

Fresh last week is still around

Sodium phosphate, bones

Hi-class, jet-set, bourgeois scene

European style

Think they know the way to be

Missed it by a mile... of bones

I've got a driver, you've got a car
Maybe we could go out for a ride
Pass by the schoolyard, take a look around
Stop and get uptight
If you're going to cry

I can remember all the good times
Put 'em in a book of memories
Hoping that our book will never ruin
Hoping that our book will never end

You picked a flower, some time ago
Put it on my desk
At school that day
Thought I would write you
A small love poem
Though I got it from a book, you see

I can remember all the good times
Put 'em in a book of memories
Hoping that our book will never ruin
Hoping that our book will never end

Floating on a bubble while the world goes down the drain.
Somebody pulled the plug, the dirty dishes still remain.
And when the bubble bursts that’s the worst for those who play dirty games.
While the world goes down the drain, down the drain.

Floating on a bubble, slipping on the soap,
Standing in the tub insane.
While the world goes down the drain.
And that’s the rub, reality is so hard to explain.
Meanwhile the world goes down the drain, down the drain.

So I’m floating on a bubble while the world goes down the drain.
Slipping on the soap, running out of rope,
But all and all I can’t complain,
And that’s the rub according to the rules of the game.
The world’s going down the drain,
When the bubble bursts you might as well drink the cork and pop the champagne.
When the bubble bursts, the world goes down the drain.

You scare me a bit,
but that's all right
you know when I want you
most every night
And I've been meaning to tell
you baby that it makes no sense
still I'm finally convinced
yeah yeah
I believe we could chug all night
I believe we could hug all night
The band is loose and the groove
is right you're so much woman I
believe we could chug all night
On the day that I die, well
I just might scream
If I'm alive in the morning
Ill be alive in a dream
You better listen to me baby
Cause you know that I'm hung on you
till I'm blind and black and blue
No one else will do
I do believe we chug all night
I believe we could hug all night
The band is loose and the groove is right
You're so much woman I believe
we could chug all night
No woman ever do what you do
High on a pleasure wheel
No devil ever cast a voodoo
so long and dark and real
We're gonna do a little chugging
We're gonna do a little hugging
The band is loose and the groove is right
I'm wired for sound
Are you wired for light?
And you're so much woman,
I believe we could chug all night
I said a yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah
Woo! It's only midnight baby
Come on and do it to me

Joe Walsh; Patrick Cullie

Blue for the blue I feel when I'm feelin down on the ground
Feelin' down
That could be most any day
Green for the eyes, take look around
When the sun goes down and the sun goes down
In the strangest way
Red for the light, got to stop this thing
Find a song to sing that is everything
That I meant to say
Meant to say

Three for the mice that are blind like the world
Never see the good that is done, just the bad
It's too late to see
Two of us make it easier to read the signs
Memorize the lines
Will you play with me?
One for the road, I'll be on my way
Come another day, when the things we say
Find a way to be
Way to be

Autumn calls for a change of year, bringing winter near us
Green to brown and the sky's a sign
Wintertime is a razor blade that the devil made
It's the price we pay for the summertime
Spring days come, it's hard to know
Where the rain comes from, where the children go
It's a nursery rhyme
Nursery rhyme

Comin' down, comin' round, to see you

To see if maybe you know who I am

Comin' down, comin' round, to see you

Me again



I'm comin' down, comin' round, to see you

To see if maybe you know who I am

Comin' down, comin' round, to see you

Me again

Comin' down, comin' round, to see you

Found an old puzzle somebody had quit
Tried a few pieces and hoped that they fit
But they're going together so slowly
It may take me forever to know
If it's only a puzzle

Parts of the puzzle will never be found
And even though pieces are gone


It's a county fair picture
Part of me's there
Some of the pieces are still at the fair
And it may be forever

Found an old puzzle somebody had quit
Tried a few pieces and hoped that they fit
But they're going together so slowly
It may take me forever to know

It's a county fair picture
Part of me's there
Some of the pieces are still at the fair
And it may be forever

We have just begun

We should feel a part of us that we're leaving

Back home

We have just begun

On the deed that's done to us

All the favours

To be grown

Waiting in a line

Not thinking of the time

We must go out and find

Whatever did we leave behind?

Soon we shall look back

On the past experience I'll remember

That dream

Soon we shall look back

One by one we're finding out all the answers

About home

Waiting on a ???

That we had

Wiping your brow again

Clock keeps twenty past ten

And we're thinking of time going


Wait till tomorrow

Think of today

Think of the days gone by

Bye-bye is too late

Cry, cry is heartache

Bye-bye, the days gone by

In the end we'll see

How much of the party we've missed already

Please tell me

In the end we'll see

Hoping for another chance to hold onto

Forever

Waiting in a line

Not thinking of the time

You must go out and find

Whatever did we leave behind?

And we're thinking of time

Going by

And we're thinking of time

Going by

I started out to write you this letter,

But it ended up another song.

I am sorry that the news can’t be better, dear John.

When we started out I thought we were different,

We ended up exactly the same.

So in order to protect the innocent,

The names have been changed.

I just got to get back to my music, to my music.

And I know that we both promised forever,

Forever didn’t last that long.

Maybe someday I will write you a letter,

Until then at least I wrote you this song, dear John.

I just got to get back my music, and all the things that go along with the job.


And lying in bed with the room spinning round,

It’s the price that you pay when you’re on the way down,

It’s the price that you pay.

Sincerely yours...

desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
데스페라도, 제발 정신좀 차려요?
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
자네는 오랫 동안 아슬아슬하게 살아왔지 않은가.
Oh, you're a hard one
자네는 냉혹한 사람이네
I know that you got your reasons
물론 나름대로 이유가 있다는 건 알지만,
These things that are pleasin' you
자네를 즐겁게 하려는 일들이
Can hurt you somehow
자네에게 상처를 줄 수도 있다네.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
"다이아몬드 퀸"을 뽑지 말게, 친구
She'll beat you if she's able
그녀는 할 수 만 있다면
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
자네를 해칠 수 있다네.
Now it seems to me, some fine things
좋은 것들이 널려 있는 것 같군.
Have been laid upon your table
자네의 테이블 위에는...
But you only want the ones that you can't get.
자네는 가질 수 없는것들만 가지려고 하고 있다네.

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
데스페라도,자네는 더 이상 젊어지진 않는다네.
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
고통과 배고품이 자네를 집으로 인도하게 될걸세.
And freedom, oh freedom well,
그리고 자유, 그렇지...자유, 그것은 단지
that's just some people talkin'
사람들의 얘기일 뿐이고.
Your prison is walking through
자네의 감옥은 혼자 힘으로 세상을
this world all alone
헤쳐 나가겠다는 생각일 뿐이네
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
겨울엔 발이 시린걸 느끼지 않는가?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
하늘에선 눈이 내리지않고 태양도 비치지 않을거라네
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
젊을때 노년에 대해 이야기하는 것은 어렵겠지만,
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
자네는 모든 걸 잃어 가고 있다네.
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
그런 감정이 어떻게 사라져 버리는지 이상하지 않은가

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
데스페라도, 정신 좀 차려요?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
자네의 담장에서 내려와, 문을 열어보게나
It may be rainin',but there's a rainbow above you
비가 내릴걸세, 하지만 무지개가 자네 머리 위에 떠 있네.
You better let somebody love you,
누군가 자네를 사랑하도록 해보게나,
before it's too late
너무 늦기 전에 말일세...

Out in the middle of nowhere
Gathered around in the barn
Animals all in agreement
They was down on the farm

There was talk of all the boring hours
Standin' around with a nothin' to do
It was just another boring evening
With a pail of boring things to chew

There was cows and horses and sheeps and pigs
They was tired of the daily routine
They was plannin' on havin' themselves a bash
Gonna throw a great big wing-ding

So they said let's do it, play some rock and roll
And they got all loose and had a few
And before they knew it, they was out of control
Turned into a regular zoo

They was tired of the daily routine
Havin' themselves a great big bash
They was gathering steam

And the pig grabbed a chicken
Said come on over, let's do-si-do a few
And the chick said no, you're covered with mud
Called him a pig and it was true

And every gol' dang one o' their tails was a waggin'
Under the old horse-shoe
That night the animals fell off the wagon
And a tractor or two

Well they was out in the middle of nowhere
They was rockin' out in the barn
They was tearin' it up in the hayloft
Gettin' down on the farm

Early in the morning
about the break of day
the earlybird is working
so his life don't fade away
spends his life denying that
he's got no time for flying
in the breeze
High up on his own, the eagle flies alone
and he is free
Earlybird is scratching though
the going's getting tough
time is passing by him and he just
can't get enough
He'll tell you all is well when
all is really going wrong
the Earlybird will wake one day
and find his life is gone
You know I like to lay in bed
and sleep out in the sun
Reading books and playing crazy music
just for fun
You know it makes feel so fine
and puts my mind at ease to
know that I don't harm a soul
in doing what I please
aaahhhh, ahhhh , ahhhhh ahhh.....
Any old day you say,
ain't gonna fade away
any old day you say,
ain't gonna fade away

Making no deposit, no return
Making the same mistakes, we never learn
All of the pain in those faces
Trying not to show concern

Spent and broken
Like a worn out subway door in the city

Hanging in the closet, wait in line
When you go by the laws, you pay the fine
I'm burning the candle at both ends
Twice the light in half the time

Down to crawlin'
Feel like I'm falling
Oh & yes, the rain doesn't have to hurry in the city<
Falls sadly to the ground
Rain doesn't have to hurry in the city


Only way to fall is down

Falling down

But still you're running in a race that can't be won
Aiming hard to fill the spaces when they're gone
Worn out shoes with no laces
Getting too loose to stay on

Back to crawling
Feel like I'm falling
Oh & yes the rain takes its time to fall in the city
Falls sadly to the ground
Rain kinda of says it all in the city
Only way to fall is down

Falling down

Walsh

See the people on their way
Going nowhere, waste their day
And it's strange, strange

And so I sit in padded cells
Through the bars, I might as well
And it's strange, strange

Though I'll stay here 'til my end
I'm better off than you, my friend
And it's strange, strange

I'm gonna have my own private party

Gonna invite everyone I know

We'll all have our own personal celebration

I'm gonna send out invitations

To all my friends -- your friends -- and their friends too

We'll all go on a permanent paid vacation

Wouldn't that be fun?

Fun

And if anyone asks you I like having fun

Fun

I like having fun


Here we go now

Well if I was king I'd sign a proclamation

And if I was president I'd pass a law

And I'd call for a full-blown Senate investigation

Of everyone who wasn't having fun

Fun

If something ain't fun why do it?

I'd rather have fun

That's all there is to it
