Allen Toussaint, Esther Philips, Etta James, Irma Thomas - Sweet Touch Of Love
Sweet Touch Of Love lyrics
Allen Toussaint
When a cold chill begins to burn at your very soul
That's the sweet touch of Love
When just the drop of a name begins to sting your very toe
That's the sweet touch of Love
Just the thought about seeing you would blow my mind
That's the sweet touch of Love
I was about to give up but you came just in time
With your sweet touch of Love
You brought out the best in me,
Made me leave the rest of me behind
Oh yes you did
You delivered me from lonelyness
And onlyness ooh yes
And Oh little girl I want...
One little kiss to let me know girl
That I couldn't live without your love, you know it's true
I've found the joy that I had been missing for so long
It was the sweet touch of Love
When a cold chill begins to thrill your very soul
That's the sweet touch of Love
When just the drop of a name begins to sting your very toe
That's the sweet touch of Love
You know that there's nothing that's sweeter than you
I got to have you early in the morning
And when the icy wind a-blow from the north
I don't need no clothes I don't need no coat
I got you early in the morning
I got you late in the afternoon
I got you late in the evening too
I got you
When ever my love come's tumbling down
And you know you got to be there
You can use the rest of this world of mine
And you know you got to be there
When my love come's tumbling down
And you know you got to be there
When my love come's tumbling down
And you know you got to be there
Koand - Heart Of The City
I found a bootleg of a show I really wished I could’ve seen last October not far from where I live. At least we can find out what it was like. This was the first song. It is a tune written by Nick Lowe who will be on stage with Koand at select dates soon. More information is below.
Heart of the City Lyrics
We're in the heart of the city
Where the alligator roams
I'm a little lost lamb
Ain't got no place to go
I ain't got one penny
Just got a shirt on my back
I left home in a hurry
I ain't never goin' back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
Well I'm a standin' on the street
And I'm a steppin' off the end
Yeah I'm lookin' for a lover
Lookin' lookin' everywhere
Maybe I'm in with a chance
I hear a clickety clack
There's a girl my Lord
I see her stop, check, turn and double back
I'm lookin' for a lover in the heart of the city
Van Morrison - And It Stoned Me
One of my favorites by this legendary artist.
And It Stoned Me lyrics
Van Morrison
Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pouring down
Me and Billy standing there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of the fishing rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there getting wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
And the rain let up, and the sun came up
While we were getting dry
Almost let a pickup truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
And we looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention fishing poles
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Let it run all over me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eye
Well, he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said, "Hey, there you are"
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like going home
And it stoned me
This album has a great cover! We’re waiting to hear Van Morrison’s new album, What’s It Gonna Take? coming out May 13th.
Allen Toussaint, Pointer Sisters, Lee Dorsey, Harry Connick Jr. - Yes We Can Can
Now is the time
"Yes We Can Can" Lyrics
Now's the time for all good men
To get together with one another
We got to iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find peace within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Remember, you all had mothers
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we got to help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know darn well, we can work it out
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes, we can, can
I know we can make it work
I know that we can make it if we try
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can great gosh Almighty
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
And we gotta take care of all the children
The little children of the world
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
We got to make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And we gotta help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give
I know we can make it
I know, darn well we can work it out
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we?

Allen Toussaint - Soul Sister
It sure would be nice, honey, honey
If I could just make you my girl
Soul Sister lyrics
Allen Toussaint
Hey you, hey you,
With the curly bush on your head, baby
You know you're lookin' good
You know you're lookin' good
You know you're lookin' good
Soul sister (sister, sister, sister, oooh)
You're lookin' good, honey
(Thank you brother, thank you baby)
(Hey you)
Hooo hey you, with the bad hip boots on, little girl
(You're the baddest in the world)
It sure would be nice, honey
If I could just make you my girl
And when you walk your walk
You know you let me know
That you're so very much together
(Gether, gether, gether, oooh)
And when you talk your talk to me, honey
You know you make me feel
Lighter than a feather, oooh
I've never known it,
But I've always wanted the best in life
And if I had you, honey
I know that I could forget about the rest in life
(I can't conceal) No, no the way I feel (Way I feel)
You're about a head turner
You're about a ... burner
Hey you, hey you, with the curly bush on your head, baby
You know you're lookin' good
You know you're lookin' good
You know you're lookin' good
Soul sister (sister, sister, sister, oooh)
And hey you, hey you, with the bad hip boots on
Little girl, little girl (You're the baddest in the world)
It sure would be nice, honey, honey
If I could just make you my girl
Allen Toussaint - Southern Nights
Southern Nights lyrics
Glen Campbell
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a Southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistlin' tunes that you know and love so
Southern nights
Just as good even when you close your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed Southern skies? (In southern skies)
Its precious beauty lies
Just beyond the eye it goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog, that walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weepin' willows would cry for joy, joy
Feel so good
Feel so good, It's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da...
Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the Southern skies
Southern nights
They feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could (Southern nights)
Stop this world from fighting
Da-da-da-da-da-da...
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed?
Allen Toussaint - Last Train
Last Train lyrics
Allen Toussaint
Last train a running between the waters
With the power line
Last train's a running around the hill
Last train a leaving on the water
Power down
Last chance to get your last breath
This world is getting so much faster
It's too sad
Poor train are rolling down slow
And I'm about to keep up with the latter
It's too bad
When it's my nature to lay low
You got me huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train (choo choo)
Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train (choo choo)
Hissing and kissing and missing like a buku brain
Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train
Just like the engine has a jumper
Feeling down
My head is wondering where to go
And you done got so many different trips you know
My face is wondering where to go
You got me huffing and puffin and chugging like a choo choo train (choo choo)
Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train (choo choo)
Hissing and kissing and missing like a buku brain
Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train
Just like the engine at the junction
Feeling down
My baby wondering where to go
You got me huffing and puffin and chugging like a choo choo train (choo choo)
Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train (choo choo)
Hissing and kissing and missing like a buku brain
Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo choo train
