Before all of this ever went down
in another place, another town,
you were just a face in the crowd
out in the street, walking around
A face in the crowd

Out of a dream, out of the sky
into my heart, into my life

You speak to me in natural harmony
Like we both grew up with nothin'
And I can't believe my own memory
But it one day could be coming

And I don't even know the wrong I've done
And I don't even care anymore
All I know is I believe that you and me

(Tom Petty, Mike Campbell and Jeff Lynne)

Your daddy was a Sgt. Major
You didn't wanna but he made you
Wipe his brass from time to time
It left a picture in your mind. You know? You know?

(Chorus)

I'm gonna make my way through this world someday
I don't care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I'm gonna find out for myself someday
But I'm half-lit, I can't dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl's alright, treats me nice
Sayin' nothin' but a woman puts out that light

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper
His preacher was a Louisiana drummer
Took all winter to get through the summer

The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled
Outside the big engine roared and rumbled
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled

Come on go with me babe
Come on go with me girl
Baby, let's go
T o the cabin down below

I got a radio
Put in on soft and low
Baby lets go

Well I fought for you
I fought too hard, to do it all again
It's gone too far
You never needed me, you only wanted me around
It gets me down

Chorus
There's been a change

Well, it's Christmas time again
Decorations are all hung by the fire
Everybody's singin', all the bells are ringing out
And it's Christmas all over again, yeah, again

Long distance relatives
Haven't seen 'em in a long, long time
Yeah, I kind of missed 'em, I just don't wanna kiss 'em, no

Something threw me in the dirt
Kinda got my feelings hurt weed was burnin'
Somewhere down the wind

I had to get up and climb that hill again

Little Lucy's such a doll
Liked to climb her garden wall

I ain't ever gonna let you down
All you gotta do is trust me
I would never make you some clown
Baby why won't you trust me
You give up so easily, I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you, don't let me down
I'm depending on you
Baby if you can't change the world

I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride.

Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go.

Then he said, "you better watch your step, or your gonna get hurt yourself.

Someones gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside."

by The Byrds

The reason why,
Oh I cant say
I had to let you go babe,
And right away
After what you did,
I cant stay on

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, is crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day living in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy cos I don't even miss her

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her

i was in love with a girl on marjuana
she said if "i'm that stoned i don't wana"
but she got so paranoid
her place i would avoid
i was in love with a girl on marjuana

i was in love with a girl on cocaine
she had everything going but a brain

We grew up fast and no one seemed to notice.
We grew up fast and we grew up alone.
Mom and Dad were never what we wanted.
We grew up fast and we grew up alone.
We grew up alone.

Well, you know who I am, so don't treat me like I'm someone else.
Well, you know what I am, so don't treat me like I'm someone else.

In the middle of his life
He left his wife
And ran off to be bad
Boy, it was sad
But he bought a new car
Found a new bar
And went under another name
Created a whole new game

Come on now, give me some sugar
Give me some sugar, little honey bee
Don't be afraid, not gonna hurt you
I wouldn't hurt my little honey bee

Don't say a word, 'bout what we're doin'
Don't say nothin' little honey bee
Don't tell your momma, don't tell your sister

I'm goin' down to the house in the woods
See my little darlin'
I'm goin' down, out in the fields
With summertime comin'

And oh my love, what can I do
What can I do but love you?
For the rest of my days, the rest of my nights

I got a hole in my head
I got a hole in my head
Id be better off dead
I got a hole in my head

I dont wanna fight
I dont wanna fight
I dont wanna fight

Песня: Hope You Never

Hope you never fall in love,
Hope you never get your heart broken.
I hope you never fall in love
With somebody like you.

I hope you never give a damn,

well I won't back down no I won't back down
you can stand me up at the gates of hell
but I won't back down
gonna stand my ground won't be turned around
and I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
hey baby there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground

It's good to be king, if just for a while,
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile.
It's good to get high and never come down.
It's good to be king of your own little town.

Yeah, the world would swing if I were king.
Can I help it if I still dream time to time?

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night

Then she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be
Yeah we were desperate then
To have each other to hold
But love is a long road
Yeah love is a long long road

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on, I was drivin

The trees went by, me and del were singin

Little runaway, I was flyin

It was a beautiful day, sun beat down.
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, Me and Del were singing
little Runaway, I was flyin'

Running down a dream.
Never would come to me.
Working on a mystery.

I'm passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so

I'm flyin' over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below

Had to find some higher ground
Had some fear to get around
You can't say what you don't know
Later on won’t work no more
Last time though I hid my tracks
So well I could not get back
Yeah my way was hard to find
Can't sell your soul for peace of mind

I want the love that you deny me
That I need so desperately
The tenderness that you posses
You've deprived me

You must pray for the lonely night
That I walked the floor for you
And don't know you must erase

i used to live in a two-room apartment
neighbors knockin' on my wall
times were hard i don't wanna knock it
i don't miss it much at all
oh yeah I'm alright
i just feel a little lonely tonight
i'm okay most of the time
i just feel a little lonely tonight

Well you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore
Well the top brass don't like him talking so much
And he won't play what they say to play
And he don't want to change what don't need to change
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play

Well I'm travelin', travelin' baby, travelin' on
Well it's good to see you but I can't stay long
No I've got a travelin' fever, baby, got a travelin' jones
No don't look for me in the mornin', baby, I'm gonna be travelin' on

I'll be good, as good as gold
To the next or maybe better
Wait for me down the road

Two gunslingers walked out in the street and one said
I don't wanna fight no more.
And the other gunslinger thought about it and said,
Yeh, what are we fighting for?

(Chorus)
I'm takin' control of my life, I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life right now, oh yeah

I went walking down the Boulevard
Past the skateboards and the beggars
I was out looking in the windows
Just out walking, letting my mind roam
If she hung around too much I might take her for granted
But when I was away, she seemed an angel
The only one who really cared about me
The only one without an angle

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
Baby we know better than to try and pretend
No one coulda ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah yeah

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other

My sister got lucky, married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse

[Chorus:]
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh yer so bad, best thing I ever had

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point
Let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud

Words and music by Tom Petty and Mike Campbell

Tonight we ride, right or wrong
Tonight we sail, on a radio song
Rescue me, should I go down
If I stay too long in trouble town

(Chorus)

All down the street they're standin' in line
With white lipstick and one thing on their mind
Hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
Underneath the paint you're just a little girl

Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo, dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
