    When I became of age
    My mother called me to her side
    Son your growing up now
    Pretty soon you'll take a bride now
    Just because you've become a young man now
    There's still some things that you don't understand now
    Before you ask some girl for her hand now
    Keep your freedom for as long as you can now
    My mama told me
    You better shop around
    There's some things that I want you to know now
    Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now
    The women come and the women are gonna go now
    Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
    My mama told me
    You better shop around
    Try to get yourself a bargain, son
    Don't be sold on the very first one
    Good-looking girls come a dime a dozen
    Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
    Before you take a girl and say I do now
    Make sure he's in love with you now
    My mama told me
    You better shop around
    Try to get yourself a bargain, son
    Don't be sold on the very first one
    Good-looking girls come a dime a dozen
    Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving
    Before you take a girl and say I do now
    Make sure he's in love with you now
    Make sure that her love is true now
    I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now
    My mama told me
    You better shop around

    Avec un bon gros son groove disco de Charlie Watts, "Miss You" est devenu le premier numéro 1 du groupe depuis 5 ans.

    I've been holding out so long 
    I've been sleeping all alone 
    Lord I miss you 
    I've been hanging on the phone 
    I've been sleeping all alone 
    I want to kiss you 

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh 

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh 

    Well, I've been haunted in my sleep 
    You've been starring in my dreams 
    Lord I miss you 
    I've been waiting in the hall 
    Been waiting on your call 
    When the phone rings 
    It's just some friends of mine that say, 
    "Hey, what's the matter man? 
    We're gonna come around at twelve 
    With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you. 
    We're gonna bring a case of wine 
    Hey, let's go mess and fool around 
    You know, like we used to" 

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah 

    Oh everybody waits so long 
    Oh baby why you wait so long 
    Won't you come on! Come on! 

    I've been walking in Central Park 
    Singing after dark 
    People think I'm crazy 
    I've been stumbling on my feet 
    Shuffling through the street 
    Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?" 

    Sometimes I want to say to myself 
    Sometimes I say 

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh 

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
    I won't miss you child 

    I guess I'm lying to myself 
    It's just you and no one else 
    Lord I won't miss you child 
    You've been blotting out my mind 
    Fooling on my time 
    No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah 

    Lord, I miss you child 

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah 

    Lord, I miss you child 

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah 

    Lord, I miss you child 

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah 
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah

    What's with these homies dissin' my girl?
    Why do they gotta front?
    What did we ever do to these guys
    That made them so violent?

    Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours.
    Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.
    Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

    [chorus]
    Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.
    Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore.
    I don't care what they say about us anyway.
    I don't care 'bout that.


    Don't you ever fear, I'm always near.
    I know that you need help.
    Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit.
    You need a guardian.

    Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours.
    Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.
    Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

    [chorus]
    I don't care 'bout that.

    Bang! Bang! Knock on the door, another big bang, get down on the floor.
    Oh No! What do we do?
    Don't look now but I lost my shoe.
    I can't run and I can't kick.
    What's a matter babe, are you feelin' sick?
    What's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
    What's a matter babe, are you feelin' blue?
    Oh-oh-oh!

    And that's for all of time. (x2)

    [chorus]
    I don't care 'bout that. (x3)

    Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
    Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
    A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
    It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
    I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
    Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
    A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
    A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
    Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
    I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
    How many times I wondered
    It still comes out the same
    No matter how you look at it or think of it
    [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/brook-benton-lyrics/rainy-night-in-georgia-lyrics.html ]
    It's life and you just got to play the game

    I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time
    Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and
    I feel fine
    (minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night
    in Georgia I
    feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin'
    all over the
    world
    Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
    And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
    You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
    rainin', rainin',
    rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'

  • 499 The Boys are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

     " The Boys Are Back dans la ville "est un single du groupe de hard rock irlandais Thin Lizzy . La chanson est sorti en 1976 sur leur album Jailbreak . Elle a atteint la 12 ème position des charts US, la 8ème place au Royaume Uni et le numéro 1 dans leur pays. Le succès de la chanson est du à l'âme Gaélique du chanteur Phil Lynott et à la "double -lead guitare" de Scott Gorham et Brian Robertson.

    Lynott est mort en 1986 d'une overdose, mais reste une icône de la dimension de Springsteen dans son Irlande natale.

    Guess who just got back today?
    Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
    Haven't changed, haven't much to say
    But man, I still think those cats are great

    They were asking if you were around
    How you was, where you could be found
    I told them you were living downtown
    Driving all the old men crazy

    The boys are back in town

    You know the chick that used to dance a lot
    Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
    Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
    I mean she was steaming

    That night over at Johnny's place
    Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
    Man we just fell about the place
    If that chick don't want to know, forget her

    Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
    Down at Dino's bar and grill
    The drink will flow and blood will spill
    If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

    That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
    The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
    It won't be long till summer comes
    Now that the boys are here again

    The boys are back in town
