Burn to shine - 1999

Voodoo Chile

(by Jimi Hendrix)

Well, I'm a voodoo chile
Lord I'm a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!"
And I seen her fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch's ring
Hey!
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile
Hey!

Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows you'll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
'Cause I'm a million miles away
And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiters sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methabe Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm...

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue,
Way down in California
And the n New York drowns as we hold hands

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
Yeah!



The Woman In You

Could have sworn I heard you say amen this morning
Showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels
I guess I bring the devil out in you
But we can both remove our haloes
'Cos even an angel needs love too
Even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me

Some things never change
Some things never stay the same
But you are so innocent
I'll take all the blame
How I hate to remember
For that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her
Or if I really need to ask
Or if I really need to ask

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

Half man walks with no shadow
Of life he utters his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in is his face
Love carved sorry in is his face

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman



Less

I could give you more
But you still wouldn't be happy
I could give all you need
But you still wouldn't be satisfied
I could give till I were poor
Now what good could that be?
You'd shake hands with Jesus
And you still would not believe
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased

I could change your mind
But what would you really be thinking
I'd show you a sign
But you'd just pass it on by
I could hold your hand
But then we'd both be sinking
The problem with the world is everone's not just like you

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased
The more you'll be pleased

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
So happy with nothing, so happy with me



Two Hands Of A Prayer

First time that I saw her
She had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Time makes lonely drifts into the past, into the past
And finds a home where all echoes rest, echoes rest
She softly kissed my mind, my mind
And whispered: "What will we do with time, do with time?"

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Another man I choosed to be, choosed to be,
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Another man I want to be, I want to be
And this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer



Please Bleed

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle
That cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running
As if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying
Tears I don't deserve
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Is this really living
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is it just a kind of gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you to hold

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave reason to believe
So as it stands
I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb



Suzie Blue

Won't you sing me the blues?
Won't you sing me the blues?
Sing me something my heart can use
Misery, love's a symphony
As your face, your pretty face
Gets lost in a crowd
And you say no one's there
To hear you cry out loud
What will you do, Suzie Blue?

Where did you learn to do that so well?
Where did you learn to do that so well?
I guess that would be like kissing 'til
If it's a secret, why do you show me?

But you're far away from the love you used to hold
Don't sit and watch yourself grow old
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue

Real life has let you down
Real life has let you down
Someone stripped the shoes from your ground
Everybody owes somebody something

Kisses from heaven in your arms
And we'll make love to the memories
They will always see us new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue



Steal My Kisses

I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
You seemed to headin' up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounds of things
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
It's like heaven to me I must confess

'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I've been hangin' around you for days
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
Wo, I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think
But I hate the way you act

'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you



Burn To Shine

We made love until we cried
And cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realized
Our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moment's time
Could one see forever after
I gently lie beside you
And dream away with my tears
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama
Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
Like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still

But that was now and this is then
It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days
But I'm so glad they're gone

Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

I'd like to spend the time that you
Would like to spend with me
So that you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cos I'm hoplessly addicted
Addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow

Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine



Show Me A Little Shame

You, you've been looking at me
Just a little too long
Now I can never look the same
Blindness and kindness, there's no difference in the two
When I can no longer see the good in you
So won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?

Now cos' I'm, I'm a gentleman
Before a gentlewomen, so called ladies
They keep breakin' my heart
Show me a house, show me a home
Show me how it could all fall apart

So won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?

'Cause now I wake up in the morning
More tired than before I slept
I get to crying and I
(?)
I get through thinking now
And the thoughts have left my head
I get through speaking
And I can't remember not a word that I said

You change your mind so many times
I wonder if you ever have mind at all
And I rather be by myself
Than to have your lonesome company
Come to call

So won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?



Forgiven

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

Here I have been standing
While the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you
But you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed on my reflections
But inside still just a child
But inside still just a child

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

These eyes weren't made for crying
This love wasn't made to waste
These arms weren't made for battle
But to share in your embrace
But to share in your embrace

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven



Beloved One

We have both been here before
Knockin upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree
To keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one, my beloved one

Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my heart it's you I find

My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one

You were meant for me
I believe you were sent to me
From the dreams trailing to my heart
Hold your body close to me
You mean most to me
We will keep each other safe from harm

My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one



In The Lord's Arms


Like the wings stolen from an angel
Like petals that go from a rose
Like a dove caught in a storm
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

The wind it blew straight through us
And whispered to me in tongues
I was told I was born

Tonight you'll be in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

So I drink this wine to him
With each glass of memory
He left with his crown of thornes

Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms



Wicked Man (Bonus Track)

Children come running to the truth
But you got to peel the skin to get the food
And while one is living high, another is grieving
But what sweet by morning is bitter by the evening

I say the wicked man shall fall

Wheen the moon chase away the sun
And force my day to run
I shall not fear the darkest night
For I know upon the other side is light

I say the wicked man shall fall

Every man is a common man
And every common has his plan
But while the hungry man seek any food, any food in sight
There's a greedy man who seek only appetite

I say the wicked man shall fall



Nobody's Fault But Mine (Bonus Track)

(by Led Zeppelin)

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine.
Trying to save my soul in line.
It's nobody's fault but mine.

Devil he told me to roll.
The devil he told me to roll.
How to roll the line tonight.
Nobody's fault but mine.

Brother he showed me the gong.
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong.
How to kick that gong tonight.
It's nobody's fault but mine.

That monkey on my back,
The monkey on my back back back back.
Gonna change my ways tonight.
Nobody's fault but mine.

I will kick that gong tonight.
Nobody's fault
