The Neverending Connect the Lyrics Game

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

Another man done gone
Another man done gone
Another man done gone

I didn't know his name
I didn't know his name
I didn't know his name

He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on
He had a long chain on

Cap'n don't know where
Cap'n don't know where
That another man done gone

your hand on his arm
the hay stack charm around your neck
strung out and thin
calling some friend trying to cash some check
he's acting dumb
that's what you've come to expect
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
he's wearing yr clothes
head down to toes a reaction to you
you say you know what he did
but you idiot kid
you don't have a clue
sometimes they just get caught in the eye
you're pulling him through
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
now on the bus
nearly touching this dirty retreat
falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth
gonna walk walk walk
four more blocks plus the one in my brain
down downstairs to the man
he's gonna make it all OK
i can't beat myself
i can't beat myself
and i don't want to talk
i'm taking the cure so i can be quiet
whenever i want
so leave me alone
you ought to be proud that i'm getting good marks
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay
needle in the hay

As I was a-goin'
On down the road
With a tired team
And a heavy load
I cracked my whip
And the leader sprung
I says day-day
To the wagon tongue


Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the straw
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw


Went out to milk
And I didn't know how
I milked the goat
Instead of the cow
A monkey sittin'
On a pile of straw
A winkin' at
His mother-in-law


Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the straw
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw


I came to the river
And I couldn't get across
So I paid five dollars
For a big bay hoss
Well, he wouldn't go ahead
And he wouldn't stand still
So he went up and down
Like an old saw mill


Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the straw
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw


Did you ever go fishin'
On a warm summer day
When all the fish
Were swimmin' in the bay
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
Did you ever see a fishie
Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance?


Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the straw
Roll 'em up and twist 'em up
A high tuck a-haw
And hit 'em up a tune called
Turkey in the Straw

I'm a blowin down this old dusty road
I'm a blowin down this old dusty road
I'm a blowin down this old dusty road
Lord Lord And I ain't a gonna be treated this a way

My children need three square meals a day
My children need three square meals a day
My children need three square meals a day
Lord and I ain't a gonna be treated this away

It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my feet
It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my feet
It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my feet
Lord Lord and I ain't a gonna be treated this a way

Your two dollar she hurts my feet

Walkin' down this rocky road
Wondering where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels, my friend

Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today

I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love

Now I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraid

Ooh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you today

I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Oh, for your love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat (ah hum), hitch-hike (ah hum)
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love yeah yeah
Crazy little thing called love yeah yeah
Crazy little thing called love yeah yeah
Crazy little thing called love yeah yeah

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

Fine Young Cannibals

I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're runnin' out of time
Won't you ever set me free
This waiting round is killing me

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself

I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
I won't make it on my own
No on likes to be alone
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

This is the way that I do feel
I feel it everywhere I go
Feel like a tin can just a rusting
Way out on that dumping ground
It sure is hard to stumble down
When you ain't got no place to fall
Seems like in this whole wide world
I ain't got no place at all
Well I've tried God knows I've tried
To go my way and leave the worried past behind
But every time the sun goes down my baby stays on my mind

Well I just came up on the midnight special baby how about that
Car broke down in Texas just stopped dead in it's track
I would have wrote you a letter baby tell you just how I feel

Well I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Well I made my money on the night train
oh baby what a terriblefight

Said I was gonna meet you on next Saturday night
I wanna tell you that I love you baby tell you just how I feel
Well I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel

Can't say much on a phone call honey you know how it is
Can't wait to get home cause you gotta listen to this
I wanna tell you that I love you baby tell you just how I feel

Well I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel

Wagon wheels, wagon wheels,
Keep on a-turnin', wagon wheels,
Roll along, sing your song,
Carry me over the hill.

Go 'long, mule, there's a steamer at the landin',
Waitin' for the cotton to load,
Go'long mule, the boss is understandin'
There's a pasture at the end of the road.

Wagon wheels, wagon wheels,
Keep on a-turnin', wagon wheels,
Roll along, sing your song,
Wagon wheels, carry me home,
Wagon Wheels, carry me home.

Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin'
Rawhide
Rain and wind and weather
Hellbent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride

(ALL TOGETHER NOW!!!)
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide
Hyaa!
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, count 'em out
Count 'em out, ride 'em in
RAWHIDE!

Old man river, that old man river,
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.

He don't plant tater's,
And we all know he don't pick cotton.
But them that plant 'em, are soon forgotten, that
Old man river, he just keeps rolling along, oh yes he does.

You and me, we sweat and toil,
Our bodies all achin' and racked with pain, now listen!

Up in the morning
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Work for my woman
Toil for my kids
Sweat til I'm wrinkled and old
But that lucky old sun -

Got no diamonds, got no pearls
Still I think I'm a lucky girl
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I'm happy with what I got
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way

Got no checkbooks, got no banks
Still I'd like to express my thanks
I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night

And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evenin'
I'm all right

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if I won't have to cry no more.

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if I won't have to walk no more.

And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

Refrain
moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.

Good morning, teaspoon.
Teaspoon, give me back my brain.
Hello, reflection. You don't look the same. Good morning, sweet companion.
Pardon me if I've forgotten your name.
Well I know the sun is shining
and it's evening cause the shades are down.
And I know that night time's on me
cause there's nothing else can make that sound.
And I know you want me moving,
pardon me if I just hang around.
Well society is rollin',
got to drive above a certain speed.
Fifty-five miles an hour along the throughway.
Well the population's exploding,
gonna get you in a wild stampede.
Well companion you'll forgive me,
if I seem unwilling to succeed.
Now efficiency, the byword,
everybody, get to work on time.
There ain't no unemployment,
I believe I'm gonna lose my mind.
I'm listed on the census,
but I think I'm gonna just resign.
Well, I'm only just a pillow, honey,
and I belong in bed.
I need a little soothing,
something soothing,
kinda mellow, for my head.
They say I could be productive.
I'll just recline right here instead.
So good morning, teaspoon.
Teaspoon, teaspoon, teaspoon.
Give me back my brain.
Good morning, reflection.
You don't look the same.
And, good morning, sweet companion.
Pardon me, if I've forgotten your...

Darling Companion, come on & give me understandin
And let me be your champion
The one to hold your pretty hand in
Darling companion, now you know you'll never be abandond
Love will always light our landin'
I can depend on you


Darling Companion, heaven knows where we'll be landin'
Just as long as we keep laughin'
Keep in mind just what would happen
Darling Companion, I tell the mountains & the canyon
As long as I got legs to stand on
I'm gonna run to you
