I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shot no deputy! Oh no oh!
I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shot no deputy! Ooh-ooh-ooh!
Yeah, all around in my home town
They're trying to track me down, yeah
They said they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy
But I say, oh no-no
Oh, I shot the sheriff (the sheriff)
But I swear it was in self defense
(Lord knows) ooh-ooh-ooh, yere
I say I shot the sheriff (oh Lord!)
And they say it is a capital offense
Ooh-ooh-ooh, yere
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Everytime I plant a seed
He say kill it before it grow
He say kill them before they grow
And so, and so
Reading in the news
I shot the sheriff (oh Lord!)
But I swear it was in self defense
Where was the deputy?
I say I shot the sheriff
But I swear it was in self defense, yere (ooh!...)
Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town yere
All of a sudden! I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down
So I shot, I shot, I shot him down
And I say :
If I am guilty, I will pay
I shot the sheriff (but I say)
But I didn't shot no deputy!
I didn't shot no deputy no!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shot no deputy! Ooh-ooh-ooh
Reflexes had the better of me
And what is to be must be
Everyday the bucket a go a well
One day the bottom a go drop out
One day the bottom a go drop out
I say : I-I-I, I shot the sheriff
Lord I didn't shot no deputy no!
Yere, I, I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shot no deputy! Yere, so, yere.

When Doves Cry, Prince

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold (Ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like

When doves cry
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)

Don't Cry (Don't Cry)

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When Doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little

Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu........jah


Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Well it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah... . allelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine
He got toejam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot coca cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you
Is you got to be free

Come Together
Right Now
Over me

He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease

Come Together
Right Now
Over me

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good lookin'
'Cause he's so hard to see

Come Together
Right Now
Over me
