JEFF BUCKLEY
WHITE MAN TROUBLE

 (Traditional) 
 
Come on you white people clap ! 
 
Oh, the white man trouble 
Oh god I love you, child 
I'm gonna give you some of my special sauce girl 
Aaahhh... 
 
Well, my maid up and left me 
My butler up and left me too 
And my poolcleaner ain't been here 
For a week or two 
I got the white man trouble 
Whitee, whitee, white white man trouble bring me down 
I had me all white man trouble 
Since my stocks went down 
 
White, whitey, white man trouble 
 Goodbye , everything s ok

WILD IS THE WIND

 (Nina Simone / Live at the Spot Coffee, Buffalo, December 9 1996) 
 
Love me love me love me 
Say you do 
Let me fly away 
With you 
For my love is like 
The wind 
And wild is the wind 
 
Give me more 
Than one caress 
Satisfy this 
Hungriness 
Let the wind 
Blow through your heart 
 
For wild is the wind 
You... 
Touch me... 
I hear the sound 
Of mandolins 
You... 
Kiss me... 
With your kiss 
My life begins 
You're spring to me 
All things 
To me 
 
Don't you know you're 
Life itself 
Like a leaf clings 
To a tree 
Oh my darling, 
Cling to me 
For we're creatures 
Of the wind 
And wild is the wind 
So wild is the wind 
 
Wild is the wind 
Wild is the wind

WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

 (Traditional / Live at the Club Logo, Hamburg, February 22, 1995) 
 
I was standing by my window 
On a cold and cloudy day 
When i saw the hearse come rollin' 
For to take my mother away. 
 
Will the circle be unbroken? 
By and by Lord, by and by, 
There's a better home a waitin' 
In the sky Lord, in the sky. 
 
I told the undertaker: 
 undertaker, please drive slow, 
for this body you are haulin' 
Lord, i hate to see her go . 
 
Will the circle be unbroken? 
By and by Lord, by and by, 
There's a better home a waitin' 
In the sky Lord, in the sky. 
 
Well i followed close behind her, 
Tried to hold up and be brave, 
But i could not hide my sorrow 
When they laid her in the grave 
 
Will the circle be unbroken? 
By and by Lord, by and by, 
There's a better home a waitin' 
In the sky Lord, in the sky. 
 
I went back home, my home was lonesome, 
Missed my mother she was gone. 
All my brothers and sisters crying 
In our home so sad and alone. 
 
Will the circle be unbroken? 
By and by Lord, by and by, 
There's a better home a waitin' 
In the sky Lord, in the sky. 
 
We sang the songs of childhood, 
Hymns of faith that made us strong, 
Ones that our mother had taught us, 
Hear the angels sing along 
 
Will the circle be unbroken? 
By and by Lord, by and by, 
There's a better home a waitin' 
In the sky Lord, in the sky. 
 


 

JEFF BUCKLEY
WITCHES' RAVE

 It sounds just like a scream 
I don t know what you mean 
Your witchcraft s all around me 
In your ragged pagan scene 
 
You tell me all the ways around my garden that you like 
I float just like a bubble 
Heading for a spike 
 
All is well between the breasts of passenger and slave 
We ll never make it out alive to join 
The witches rave 
 
You d like to see him suffer 
For you fantasy and thrill 
He fell sick while we made love 
He s out there, somewhere, still 
 
Oh I feel the spell that you have cast, hot, pink, nasty 
Bubble gum, coming down just like a big red coal 
 
I can t help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
I can t help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
 
Hey! I try to keep all hidden 
When you come around 
Oh, no! The sight of broomsticks 
Sliding on the ground 
You re levitating something 
'Cause I feel so collectible 
 
We re all lying natural 
He s watching from a window up above 
I see he loves you, I ll bring you closer 
 
Something in my fate says it s not right for me 
Tell me 
Am I cursed or am I blessed? 
I can't tell, oh yes! 
'Cause all is well between the breasts of 
Passenger and slave 
I ll never make it out alive to join 
The witches rave 
 
I can't help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
I can't help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
I can't help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
I can't help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
I can't help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
I can't help from looking 
Outside for a guarantee 
For a guarantee

WOKE UP IN A STRANGE PLACE

 Ghost calls to visit 
With my keys in his pocket 
Kisses in my mouth with his 
Eyes hanging out of his sockets 
My memories crumble 
Under still resistance 
I was torn out like pages 
From the book of existence 
 
I woke up in a strange place 
My mind a blur and some blood on my chin 
I made a call for a blackened cab 
Some destination was moving on in 
I remember the words that you told me 
How they come down so hard, so plain 
Fate is going to find your love in a 
Glass of champagne 
 
I lied to my host i told him 
I knew how far i could go 
When i emptied my guts out 
On his brand new stereo 
Well he paid me to go upstairs 
And spend a night with his friend 
I never want to see my face 
In the mirror again 
 
I woke up in a strange place 
Music so loud that i spilled all my beer 
I met a ride in that blackened cab 
Some destination was all that he had 
Easy now, this car is speeding up 
For my last chance, crashing to freedom 
Fate is going to find your love in a 
Glass of champagne 
 
Sweat pours down 
You're in the back seat sleeping 
And she waits by the window 
On an empty bed, weeping 
The ghost guns the motor 
To the land that he promised me 
I guess this is the time when your 
Best intentions become facts again 
 
This is no song for the dislocated 
The one you loved but it turned to be hated 
Because the lies of the spirit possessed you 
Because the eyes of your lover resist you 
Listen now, you keep your aim steady 
As your temple turns to kiss the pistol 
Fate is going to find your love 
In a glass of champagne 
 
Fate is going to find your love 
In a glass of champagne 
 
Thank you

YARD OF BLONDE GIRLS

 (The Nymphs) 
 
Through the yard 
Through the yard of blonde girls 
Through the river and the sea 
Gold sharks glittering 
A tree of white 
Breaks the earth 
The streets where Lola played 
 
Very sexy, very sexy, okay, okay 
 
Fear, we may come X4 
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run. 
 
It s in your heart 
It s in your art, your beauty 
Even in this world of lies 
There s purity 
You ve got innocence 
In your eyes 
Even in this world of lies 
 
You re still hopeful 
Very sexy, okay, okay 
 
Fear, we may come X4 
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run 
 
Through the yard 
Through the yard of blonde girls 
Through the river and the sea 
Gold sharks glittering 
A tree of white 
Breaks the earth 
The streets where Lola played 
 
Very sexy, very sexy, okay, okay 
 
Fear, we may come X4 
So run, run, run, run, run, run, run.

YEH JO HALKA HALKA

 (Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan) 
 
at a glance from the cup bearer 
i gulped the whole cup of wine in one 
draught and thus got intoxicated. 
 
o'divine mercy pardon my slip from 
grace as my eagerness for wine 
drinking pushed me in committing 
this error. 
 
i could i dare to drink without 
permission! it was only a wink from 
my sweetheart which prompted me to 
do so. 
 
o'holy man don't scoff at my apparent 
irreligiosity, i am the one with 
his knack of chit chat coaxed the 
divinity in granting me permission to 
drink. 
 
dark clouds are hovering near and 
bring along the musicians' 
captivating notes. 
 
who has spread her hair in the rainy 
season because the breeze is pregnant 
with sweet fragrance? 
 
larks dance in the open tunes 
played by the clouds as they are 
bringing along their own playing 
instruments. 
 
the eyes of my sweetheart are so 
bewitchingly red that even the best wine of the tavern pales in 
comparison. 
 
being coquettish my sweetheart 
sometimes comes very near to me and 
at other time goes far away. but all the 
time she is close to my heart. 
 
since the day my eyes met her lovely 
ones i am in perpetual state of slight 
intoxication. 
 
her residence in my heart is 
camparable to a ray of light 
penetrating the pitch of darkness. 
this state of slight intoxication. 
 
your love and your bewitching 
eyes have induced me to become 
a drunkard. 
 
the whole universe is in a state 
of drunkeness; the day, the night, 
the dawn, the dusk, everything 
is perpetually intoxicated. 
even the wine cup and wine 
bottle are drunk. And this is all a 
result of your bashful eyes. 
 
o'lovely cup bearer although your 
repository contains all sorts of wines, 
but i am only fond of the wine that 
drips from your drowsy eyes. 
 
this state of slight intoxication. 
 
i don't know how to say prayers nor 
do i know the rites of ablution. i just 
prostrate myself before you whenever 
i see you, because your worship and 
your love is my life. 
 
right from creation i am the slave 
of love, and i don't care for belief 
or disbelief. 
 
my sweetheart, since i have found 
you and have become the worshipper 
at the alter of your love i don't require 
a mosque to prostrate myself and say 
my prayers. 
 
this slight state of intoxication. 
 
even on the day of judgement when i 
am resurrected the scars of your love 
will be manifest on my body and your 
picture clinging to my heart. 
 
my extreme love of you has so 
elevated me spiritually that who ever i 
bow my heat it appears as if holy 
kaaba is in front of me. 
 
it does not behoove you to jeer and 
mock your disappointed lover. 
 
for god sake o'lovely one turn 
away your alluring eyes otherwise i 
will totally lose control of my heart. 
 
i pray to god that like me you also fall 
in l...
