They’re talkin', talkin’ about Molly
She’s cryin', isn’t it funny
I turned her without any money

She’s 28 years old tonight
I told her not to fear, it’s all very right

She listened and came to my side

She used to dance when she had the chance and the time it didn't matter
At the end of her night was an endless flight
While her head, it was lost in the laughter
A girl I knew
Someone I used to talk to
When we'd meet in the middle of a room
A girl I knew
Her world a shade of blue

Well thinkin' of my school days, I remember Maybeline
Used to dance with her all night she was little sweet sixteen
Her brother used to chase me
He thought I did, but I never could
I used to call him Little Queenie
His name was Johnnie B. Good

I used to hold her 'til I was older

перевод песни "Born To Be Wild" англ. группы STEPPENWOLF (C)1968

Жми на газ и разом
Вылети на трассу,
В поисках удачи
Какой бы ни была!

Да, крошка,

Get your motor running,
Head out on the highway,
Lookin' for adventure,
In whatever comes our way.

Yeah, darlin', gonna make it happen,
Take the world in a love embrace,
Fire all of your guns at once and

You comin' here
Tellin' me how proud you are
Some clown just handed you
A shiny little silver star
You say, over there, the men are brave
While the chickens stay away
Cause they're all too much afraid
To fight for somethin' they should believe in

Some of us are Rock n' Roll stars
Chasing the flash and travel
Most of us wear the right length of hair
But that's all that is left of the dream
Oh, the dream it was born in the summer of love
And it died with the Woodstock Nation
But what has it left for the carpenter's son
And the new coming generation?

Corina, Corina
Girl, where you been so long
Corina, Corina
Where you been so long

I've been worried about you baby
Why won't you please come home?

When rain drops fall and you feel low
Ah, do you ever think it's useless
Do you feel like letting go
Do you ever sit and do you wonder
Will the world ever change
And just how long will it take
To have it all rearranged

Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land
Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into hate land
Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen
Along with his guest self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are too far out

He was talkin' 'bout the army while he passed his pipe around
An American deserter who found peace on Swedish ground
He had joined to seek adventure and to prove himself a man
But they tried to crush his spirit 'til his conscience ruined their plans
And he thought of those who suffer for the sake of honesty
All those who refuse to follow traitors to humanity

Here's to all the draft resisters who will fight for sanity

She's all alone, just lost another one
Met him yesterday and he's already gone
And though tonight she'll swear it was the last time
A smiling face will come that knows the right line
And then she'll do all the right things with the wrong guy
And when he's gone, next day she'll sit and wonder way.

She doesn't know why she's everybody's next one

Ride the waves of everlove
Let them throw you on the beach
Gathering experience
While it's still in your reach

Faster faster
Faster than the speed of life
Faster faster

If my name, Lord, comes around no more
I will surely miss it for a while or so
Should my friends desert me
I would try to make it on my own
And if the stars forsake me
I will surely find my way alone

Hear me holler down the mountain side
I'm near the sky blinking at the evil eye
Hear me holler at the city's grind
It stole my soul just about lost my mind

Let the loneliness roll in
Like the foggy mountain dew
Wipe the madness from my eye

What you say to drive that girl away
When she's the one and only?
Who's the one that you been leanin' on
Every time that you were down and lonely?

How many times did you say to yourself that woman is the devil's tool?
Somehow you knew that you blew it again and didn't want to look like a ravin' fool
But when you need affection

FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS
B.Roth

Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby left this town
Sun shining all day long
But the rain keep coming down
She's my life I need her soul

You've filled this house with things of gold
While handing crumbs to the old and poor
And then you preach about being pure
And wonder why we're laughing
In your old way you're trying to find us
But we can't follow what's behind us
Too much blind faith, it will blind us
Though sometimes it's a blessing

You might call me brutal
'Cause I've got a few sadistic notions
Oh, but I ain't lying
I'd kill my own for some commotion

I've got the gang war blues
Got nothing to lose
I'm a hunk of hunger

Out on the highway, looking for a sign
That will lead me to the canyon
Got to meet some friends of mine
I can feel the fires burnin'
As I ride into the light
Got to keep the wheels turnin'
If I have to ride all night.

What drives a man to do all that he can
Brings people down to what he call his own
Believes in himself but nobody else
Does he trust and try to understand
How they feel, can he see?

Not so good

Happy Birthday, sweet, sweet baby,
I hope you read your book, your story book,
An' next mornin', you're one day older,
One more day for you to look.
Happy Birthday, sweet, sweet baby,
I hope you read your story book;
An' next mornin' you're one day older;
One more day for you to look.

You'd like to show me all around
Thank you girl but I know this town
It's all right hey lawdy mama, it's all right
Don't you know they're all the same,
Only difference is the name
It's all right hey lawdy mama, it's all right
Three motels, dusty cars,
Movie shows and a dozen bars

HIPPO STOMP
L.Byrom / J.Kay

If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody would know me
But if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan"
Somebody would follow just because it's free

We're all Hippos rollin' down the river

The gypsy woman told my mama
On the day I was born
Oh, you got a boy child comin'
Oh Lord, he's gonna be a sun of a gun
He's gonna make those pretty women
You know, he's gonna make 'em jump and shout
The whole wide world gonna wonder
What it's all about

I warned you, baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen
Wouldn't pay me no mind
So I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
I'm movin' on

That big eight wheeler movin' down the track

Your eyes are moist, you scream and shout
As though you were a man possessed
From deep inside comes rushing forth
All the anguish you suppressed
Up on your wall hangs your degree
Your parents craved so much for you
And though you're trained to make your mark
You still don't quite know what to do

The one who reads the stars has told me
Why you're not like everyone
Your father is a fiery wizard
He travels all around the sun
No one ever knew just where you came from
Orphan girl, you grew up wild
Your father left you on the way home
Yes, girl, you're a Jupiter's child

Spin that wheel of fortune
Playin' that game of fools
Don't be afraid to take a chance
You haven't got much to lose

Come on little girl and step right up
I want to be the first to wish you luck 'cause

So, once again I hurt someone
Because I found out that she's not the one
I'm looking for
So, once again I blame someone
Because I know that she can't use the love
I have in store
And now she's gone
And I'm glad her story ends

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride

(Monster)
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

MOVE OVER
J. Kay / G. Mekler

Things look bad from over here
Too much confusion and no solution
Everyone here knows your fear
You're out of touch and you try too much

NONE OF YOUR DOING
G.Mekler / J.Kay

If I could show you where I've been
Perhaps you'd know and never ask again
Could I forget the things I've seen
Perhaps I'd smile and we would be the same

What gives you the right hey you
To stand there and tell me what to do
Tell me who gave you the power
To stop me from livin' like I do

Remember if you plan to stay
Those who give can take away.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Rise to greet the morning light
Can't find my shoes, but that's alright
All I knew just flew out the window
All I had gathered won't let my mind grow
I don't know, but I feel lighter
Everything around me seems much brighter
Red and Green in between
Think I'm going crazy

How ya gonna make it baby?
That's the question to be asked
Life goes on around you
In so many different ways
I know my share of histry
How hard it is to be free
From wearing masks that turn to skin
Hiding what could have been

ROCK ME
J.Kay

She asked me maybe I could share her sorrow
For all the men that tried to treat her wrong
Though just a baby, awaiting her tomorrow
It's rock me baby, rock me baby, all night long

Money, money, day and night
You got to pay and pay
Well, I tell you honey, it just ain't right
To let them chase you that way
If dog eat dog is what they want then you must leave your mark
If dog eat dog is all they know you got to bite and bark
So if you need me to join the fight, girl
I'll be there right by your side

Out on my Night Hog, somebody temptin'
Hear it scream on by your house
The highway sign is my only call
'Cause a demon deep inside keeps driving me to roam
Well, I'm nobody's slave, I'm nobody's master
Time is mine, morning, night and afternoon
And you hitch-hiking woman, when you see me coming
Jump on my back and let your hair come tumbling down

Take what you got to give and let it shine
Take what you got to give but leave me mine
Nobody likes you the way that I could
For you, I'd dive to the bottom
Don't you know I surely would

Can you hear me callin' late at night when love comes tumblin' down
Slidin' in your kitchen late at night, hear me stumblin' around

Thought I was cool when I played in school for all my family
Had a smile for quite a while but now I finally see
All the girls at your feel made you want to play for free
Now I know they got my soul I was too damn blind to see

[Chorus:] Skullduggery, Skullduggery, Skullduggery, Skullduggery

Out 'ta sight everything's alright are the words that fed my head

SOOKIE SOOKIE
D.Covay / S.Cropper

Let it hang out baby, let it hang out now, now na-na now
Let it hang out baby, everybody work out
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sookie, Sue

Let it hang out baby, do the Baltimore jig

SPARKLE EYES
G.Biondo / J.Kay

Oh Woman, don't you know me?
Has it been so long that you forgot
I thought of you just yesterday
My time it has been dragging
And I've changed girl but so have you

Humanity grew weary
Of it's doubtful state of mind
So it summoned from far and near
All the wise men thought to be sincere
To heal it's wounds and make it whole
And lead the way back to the soul

The charlatans they stayed behind

She tried to show me hw to love
I bit her lips and bruised her arms
No I hadn't learned Tenderness
She asked "what does love mean to you?"
I grabbed her hair and pulled her down
I looked in her eyes and laughed
The love I feel is hard and fast
It's for a face and for one night

You're hair hangs under black silk
The gown you wear blows in the wind
You're one of the devils best friends
Your burning eyes are doin' me in

The Night Time's for you, yeah the Night Time's for you
The Night Time's for you, yeah the Night Time's for you

We'll call you when you're six years old
And send you to the factory
To train your brain for eighteen years
With promise of security
But then you're free
And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign
So you may die in Florida
At the pleasant age of sixty-nine.

You know I smoked a lot of grass.
Oh Lord! I popped a lot of pills.
But I've never touched nothin'
That my spirit couldn't kill.
You know I've seen a lot of people walking 'round
With tombstones in their eyes.
But the pusher don't care
If you live -- or if you die.

Crossing the line in the dead of night
Five years old and on the run
This ain't no game, boy, don't make a sound
And watch that man with the gun

Say a prayer for the ones we leave behind, say a prayer for us all
Come take my hand now and hold on tight
Take one last look at that wall

What can you see with your ear on the ground
Try to lift up your feet, girl, and take a look around
Let me see your eyes girl
We've got to make them big
If you'd like to see the truth
I better tighten up your wig

Your mind is too narrow, and it's no surprise

At six a.m. this morning, oh the man knocked at my door
I screamed in his ear, I'm not the guy you're looking for
But got taken, I got taken just the same
When it comes to getting sleep at night
Oh I just can't seem to win

I went down to the zoo where I thought I might hide
There I met a friendly grizzly bear, who took me for a ride

Your wall's too high, I can't see
Can't seem to reach you, can't set you free
If you can hear me, follow the sound
And help me tear your wall down to the ground

Everyone gets hurt sometimes
Everybody plays the game
If you don't win the first time

Get your motor running,
Head out on the highway,
Lookin' for adventure,
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin', gonna make it happen,
Take the world in a love embrace,
Fire all of your guns at once and
