Keep killin' ya', killin' ya', killin' ya', killin' ya', bringin' ya' down. Oh no, ain't gonna be your boy no more. Ya' got one less nigger behind the store. {Let me tell ya' somethin' else, can I tell ya'?} Tried my best to please you, please you to the letter {didn't do no good}.

Tried my best to please you, please you to the letter, but anything is better than this diabolic pressure. Not workin' for you. I'm not workin' for you no more. Not workin' for you. Not workin' for you no more {my nose is open}. Not workin' for you {play it man!} Not workin' for you no more. {Get down right there on the bass David.} Ahhhh!! Ahhhhhhggggg!!! Not workin' for you.

Nawww! {My nose is open.} My nose is open. Owwww! Yeahh! We got it... Notes from David Chance: According to the Howard DeWitt book (The Mystic's Music), this song was recorded (along with a number of others) at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California in June 1975 (DeWitt, page 72) [Ed: eventually surfacing on at least the vinyl bootleg Please, No Moke!] The musicians involved were most likely (from notes in San Francisco newspapers at that time, i.e. circa the Great American Musical Hall concerts April 18-21, 1975) Mark Jordan (keyboards), John Blakely (guitar), Tony Dey (drums), and David Hayes [definite...see the lyric transcription above] (bass)...there is a back up vocalist(s) present, unknown, but probably one of the aforementioned. The song clocks in at 8 minutes exactly...there's a fade-out at the end which suggests this was probably intended for release on a commercial album...perhaps a re-working of the Mechanical Bliss/Stiff Upper Lip album which was twice scheduled for release in 1975 but got scrapped Related Lyrics Random lyrics: One Two Brown Eyes, Only A Dream, Orangefield, Ordinary Life, Ordinary People, Out Of Sight, Outskirts Of Town, Pagan Streams, Perfect Fit, Perfect Moment, Philosophers Stone, PHILOSOPHERS STONE, Philosophy, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Precious Time, Professional Jealousy, Purple Heather, Quality Street, Queen Of The Slipstream, Raglan Road, Railroad Bill, RAINCHECK, Rave On, John Donne, Real Gone Lover, Real Real Gone, Real Real Gone (in album The Philosophers Stone), Real Real Gone (n album The Philosophers Stone), Really Dont Know, Really Dont Know, Redwood Tree, Reminds Me of You, Richard Cory, Richard Cory (alternate version), Ring Worm, River Of Time, Ro Ro Rosey, Rock and Roll Band, Rock & Roll Band, Rock amp Roll Band, Rock Roll Band, RockNRoll Band, Rolling Hills, Rough God Goes Riding, Russian Roulette, Sack O Woe, Sack OWoe, Saint Dominics Preview, Saint Dominics Preview, Saint James Infirmary, Santa Fe, Other Van Morrison song Lyrics (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 Lyrics (It Wont Hurt) Half As Much Lyrics (It Wont Hurt) Half As Much Lyrics (Straight to Your Heart) Like a Cannonball Lyrics 4 Pantomime Lyrics A New Kind Of Man Lyrics A Sense Of Wonder Lyrics A Town Called Paradise Lyrics Across The Bridge Where Angels Dwell Lyrics Aint Nothin You Can Do Lyrics Alabamy Bound Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Van Ronk Dave Lyrics Van Veen Herman Lyrics Herman Van Veen Lyrics Vanda Vanda Lyrics Vandals Lyrics Vandals, The Lyrics Vandavanda Lyrics Vanden Plas Lyrics Vandenberg Lyrics Vandeross Luther Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
