Beauty Inside Us LP Lyrics
Listening to Albums way back when I oved being able to see a lyrics sheet while I listened. That's why in every CD I have included a Lyrics booklet and why I have some of the lyrics right here below...
Beauty Inside Us
Beauty Inside Us
We all have limits to the places we’ll go to, beyond what we know as home
We’re all tryin’, the best that we can, to keep our bitter hearts warm
Things deep inside us, they cripple and crowd us, forever
It happens that sometimes things just go up in flames
We all have moments of walking away from a time when we needed to stay
We’re all thinking the best one’s the next one and soon it will all be ok
But there’s such a thing as love that’s been lost, forever
It happens that one day, things are never the same,
They all keep saying its crime to be throwing good love at the things we can’t change
The poor will be with us, and evil among us that just how things are arranged
But there’s beauty inside us, it’s been there inside us forever
The point of it all is to help love grow while we’re here
We all have pictures of the places that love goes when it leaves us to wander alone
Smiles all around you, images blind you, looking to find you, eager to find you
There’s beauty inside us, it’s been there inside us forever X 4
There’s Beauty inside us, Beauty Inside us X 3 ….. Forever
Your Last Loving Touch
Your Last Loving Touch
You said that I’m everything to you
But I’m still not enough
You said since I left, that you been blue
But you sold all my stuff
I get Questions from our friends
How could I treat you so rough
But it’s hard to explain its been years since your last loving touch
You said it was time to settle down, That you’d had enough
Of all the whiskey and the boys, You needed someone to trust
But you were gone every night, You said it lifted you up
That’s when I tried to remember the feel of your last loving touch
Your last loving touch
Do you remember it much
Or forgive and regret and move on just like diamonds and rust
I hope that these years, don’t trouble you much
Should a left a while ago
Shoulda got on that bus
But I sit alone in my room
Wearing memories like dust
I get questions from our friends
Say ‘You’ve been out of touch.’
It’s hard to explain I’m still missing your last loving touch
Your last loving touch
Do you remember it much
Or forgive and regret and move on just like diamonds and rust
I hope that these years, don’t trouble you much
Well, I’ll just be moving on, as we have discussed
Bring an end to this song, I know we’ll all adjust
I saw you talking to my friend, said he was lifting you up
I wonder how long til’ he misses your last loving touch
Your last loving touch
Do you remember it much
Or forgive and regret and move on just like diamonds and rust
I hope that these tears, don’t trouble you much
All That Anger
All That Anger
​
I see you’re trying to be helpful friend
But there’s things you can’t comprehend
Like that terrifying feeling when
You get caught double dealing and
There ain’t no use concealin’ things
And you got to tell the truth for once
But you’re not sure you can take the punch
To the carefully crafted image that, You use to conceal the fact that you have…
All that Anger, All that anger
DOO DOO DOO DOO DOOT DOO DOO DOO X2
I know you’re feeling that its just not right
There’s so many new shades of white
You love human kind, and you’re color blind
But don’t believe that Jesus had this in mind
Only so much the government can provide
You got nothin’ but God N Country Pride and
All That Anger, All that Anger
Am EM
So Sad to live your life so sure that you had the story right eh eh??
Too bad to have so much pride, can’t even so much as be asking why, eh eh?
DOO DOO DOO DOO DOOT DOO DOO DOO X2
Keep hearing from friends I thought I knew
And they don’t really seem to have a clue
And things I-wanna-talk-about are now taboo
Unless I spread that holy super glue
But there’s more of me than there are of you
But there’s more of you when the bills come due and there’s
All that Anger, All that Anger All that anger, All that Anger
So Sad when you live your life so clear that you got the story right eh eh??
Too bad to have so much pride, can’t even so much as be asking why, eh eh?

My Spells is the Love
My darling, my one, please tell me your story
Slowly and clearly so I may bear well
You’ve lived so much life, for one whose so youthful
I’ve lived too much life for the cards I’ve been dealt
My slouch is a duck that’s lasted a lifetime
My tick is from trying to get one word in
My limp is from kicking my dreams to the sideline
My spells is the love that I keep falling in
My Spells is the love that I keep falling in
I’m dense as a stone, and I don’t really swim
If you sink with me I’ll make room in my bed
And troubles will be but a brief silhouette
My love my love, why do we quarrel
There’s room enough for our fortunes to find
Not every bad deed deserves a rebuttal
Let’s look for a promise that we’ve left behind
My hairs falling out from the place where it’s needed
I feel weak in the morning when I ain’t had my gin
I can’t really tell if this damn thing is working
Yet, my spells is the love that I keep fallin’ in
My Spells is the love that I keep falling in
I’m dense as a stone, and I don’t really swim
If you sink with me, I’ll make room in my bed
And troubles will be but a brief silhouette
99 Leroy
99 Leroy
Staring off in the day, up walking at night
Maybe this is how it ends
I slip on the stairs, Hit my head on the floor
Go see all my friends
And if this is how it ends, What a shame it would be boy
I never told you the stories of 99 Leroy
I tried to see it in my mind, Those up and down streets
The bricks and the far away smiles,
But I just couldn’t see
So walked damn every inch, of every crooked damn mile
Forgave all their sins, Not Everybody wins boy
But give everybody points for style
It looks small in this light, And that tree in the back,
Seem like it died a long time ago
And we all flew away , and one of us stayed
and this is how it goes
If this is how it goes,
Lost my keys in the snow
All huddled in the wind
Calling out to my friends
And if this is how it ends, Boy
I’ll take a minute to enjoy, Boy
The places you got to from 99 Leroy
If this is how it ends
Take a minute to enjoy,
The places you got to from 99 Leroy
Daddy Rice Shuffle
Daddy Rice Shuffle*
White girl cries and everybody stops, Black man shot, can’t find a mop
Black Momma Cry on TV at night, DA wipes his ass with the Bill of Right
Shuffle on Daddy Rice, Shuffle on
Wheel about, turn about and do just so, not happy with your time man they’ll give you some more
Got that law n’ order, got that war on drugs, whack a mole whack a mole whack em’ some thugs
Sweep em all up with a big free hug, store em’ in the attic like a rolled-up rug
Shuffle On Daddy Rice, Shuffle On….
Wheel about and turn about and do just so, every time he turn he see a new Jim Crow
A New Jim Crow
You’re free to cast your vote, unless they purge you out, unless you done some time, unless the sheriffs about
They know where you live, they drawed a crooked line, They say “let you can have your man, but I keep 20 of mine”
Shuffle on Daddy Rice, Shuffle On
A new vibe it town, white folks jogging around, drinkin’ that latte spritz, listenin’ that indy sound
Looloo lemon there, got trader joes up here, poodles everywhere, it’s time you disappear
Shuffle on Daddy Rice, Shuffle On
Wheel about and turn about and do just so, Ev'ry time he wheel about he get more Poor
He get more poor
SOLOS
Wheel about, turn about and do just do, we all sing with Dr. King but it’s just for show
It’s just for show
Son you can stay in school, if you take it slow, if you take your chair, keep your profile low
We can’t teach you much, can’t even buy that book, and that t-shirt you wear got the teacher all shook
Shuffle on Daddy Rice, Shuffle On
Wheel about and turn about and do just so, no matter how you dance it’s the same dance floor
Wheel about and turn about and do just so, no matter how you dance it’s the same dance floor
