Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about - filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
The smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall.
Hey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? I'm going out to find my woman, caught her messing around with another man.
Little Wing is like one of these beautiful girls that come around sometimes ... you play your gig; it's the same thing as the olden days, and these beautiful girls come around.. you do actually fall in love with them because that's the only love you can have. It's not always the physical thing of "Oh, there's one over there ...", it's not one of those scenes. They actually tell you something. They release different things inside themselves ... "Little Wing" was a very sweet girl that came around that gave me her whole life and more if I wanted it ...
I get stoned, I can't get home, I'm calling long distance on a public saxophone. My head is achin', my back is breakin', feel I got run over by Captain Coconut and his dog named Rover.
Jesus shouldn't have died so early and then he could have got twice as much across. They killed him and then twisted so many of the best things he said. Human hands started messing it all up and now so much of religion is hogwash.
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.
You know you are a sweet little heart breaker, foxy lady.
Well I stand up next to a mountain, and I chop it down with the edge of my hand
I want to get up in the morning and just roll over in my bed into an indoor swimming pool. And then swim to the breakfast table.
I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out.
You've got to know what goes between the notes.
It's funny how most people love the dead, once you're dead your made for life.
Drifting, On a sea of forgotten teardrops, On a lifeboat, Sailing for Your love
