Telepatia...

Telepatia

Shirley and  Dino

...It's time for a little change, I'll put my feet on the ground...

Movin' On

Joe Purdy

  No more paintings, no more sunshine
No more lazy days, no more next time
No more fighting, no more love
It'll all be long gone, when you wake up
And I best be movin' on

No more single beds, no more sleepyhead
No more bloody nose, no more twinkle toes
No more blue skies, no more lying eyes
No more bug bites, no more crazy nights
And I best be movin' on

Well I can't tell, I lost my way
But I know that I can't stay

So no more children, running through the fields
No more heartaches, left to be revealed
I'm growing kind of weary, of all this running around
It's time for a little change, I'll put my feet on the ground
And I best be movin' on
And I best be movin' on
Oh I best be movin' on

Riflessioni....

Why You

Joe Purdy

Why you always being so mean?

Why you always being so mean?

Cause you'd think that you could see

The pain you bring me now

So why you always being so mean?

And why you always running your mouth?

Why you always running your mouth?

If you'd stopped to find it out

You might understand by now

So why you always running your mouth?

And why you always making me cry?

Why you always making me cry?

You look me in the eye

And tell me all your lies

So why you always making me cry?

Yeah, why you always looking so sweet?

Why you always looking so sweet?

You walk into the room

And it brings me to my knees

Yeah, so why you always looking so sweet?

Yeah, why you always making me stay?

Why you always making me stay?

If I only had a brain

I would leave you right away

Yeah, so why you always making me stay?

Oh, why can't I leave you behind?

Why can't I leave you behind?

Cause things would be just fine

If I could get you off my mind

So why you always leaving me behind?

Sinkin' Low

Joe Purdy

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls

Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's

When she sings to me her voice is sweet as candy

Her lips are rose red, as sweet as cheery wine

Her eyes are green and blue, they can't make up their mind

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls

Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

Went down to the station, I thought that I would find you

With your suit case on the ground, I knew I was right behind you, yeah

As the train doors closed I saw you through the window

You watched me as I waved; the train took you away

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls

Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

I know that she's gone

I saw that building burned down, when I got to your front lawn

I thought that you'd be here, yeah, but you'd already gone

I went down to the river, you hid under the water

And then you held your breath, yeah, and then you disappeared

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby

I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls

Don't know where she goes, I don't know where she goes

Can't Get It...

Right Today

Joe Purdy

I just can't seem to get it right today.

I just can't seem to get it right today.

I just can't seem to get it right today,

I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up.

It's nearly been a year since he's been gone,

And you still sing his goodbye songs.

Goodness knows she should move on

But she just can't let him go

No, she just can't let him go

Sorry if I made you want to cry.

Sorry if I made you want to cry.

You should know, I never meant to hide.

I just hate bringing you down

Oh, I just hate bringing you down.

I just can't seem to get it right today.

I just can't seem to get it right today.

I just can't seem to get it right today,

I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up.

And I dropped my paintbrush in the dirt,

Still don't know how much that hurt.

I cut my hand and wait for it to work

I just couldn't bring him back.

No, I just couldn't bring him back.

I just can't seem to get it right today.

Oh, I just can't seem to get it right today.

I just can't seem to get it right today,

I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up.

Oh, I guess I'm gonna give up, oh Lord.

I said, I guess I'm gonna give up, oh Lord.

I said, I guess I'm gonna give up.

Good Days

Joe Purdy

The neighbors are talking

And Charlie is barking

Then the rain came on a calm dawn

And we slept through the morning

And you said, sometimes I wish the sun didn't come out at all

Yeah you said, sometimes I wish the sun didn't come out at all

Just the good days

Yeah you said, sometimes I wish the sun didn't come out at all

No, no just the good days

No, no just the good days

Yeah, yeah just the good days

Yeah, yeah, yeah just the good days

You lit a cigarette

And you got out of bed

And you stood on the balcony there with your feet wet

I begged you to come in out of the cold night

You said it ain't the dark that I'm afraid of, it's the light

Said it ain't the dark that I'm afraid of, it's the light

Said it ain't the dark that I'm afraid of, it's the light

Said it ain't the dark that I'm afraid of, it's the light

Andrea

Joe Purdy

You were standing tall
In the corner of a light
While everybody talked
I just stared at you

Singing on
And on and on and on
Singing on
And on and on and on
And on

And I was moving closer
You pretended not to notice
I was waiting on a sign
Then you looked up and smiled

Singing on
And on and on and on
Singing on
And on and on and on

Oh Andrea, oh I think I'm sinking down
Oh Andrea, honey I want you around

And when you turned to me
Your hair fell in your eyes
And I moved it away
And you looked so surprised

Singing on
And on and on and on
Singing on
And on and on and on
And on...
And now...

And you said you loved my charm
And then you took my arm
And then we slipped away to the burgandy rooms
Our old soul music played

Singing on
And on and on and on
Singing on
And on and on and on
Singing on
And on and on and on
Singing on
And on and on and on

Oh Andrea, oh I think I'm sinking down
Oh Andrea, honey I want you around
Oh Andrea, oh I think I'm sinking down
Oh Andrea, honey I want you around

And you were standing tall
And on and on and on

Put Me In My Place

Joe Purdy

He was just a child, when she left him there alone
He was just too wild, she was just too young
Too much to handle he was always asking why
She didn't know the answers, she'd just hang her head and cry

He said, "Mama I'm afraid that no one will calm me down
And I'm just scared that no one will know how
To put me in my place
To put me in my place
Put me in my place
To put me in my place
Where do I belong?"

Father never forgave him, for making mother leave
"You could up and die, boy, it wouldn't bother me"
Sent him off to school, somewhere up north
Way too many rules to follow, didn't have a choice

He said, "I'm afraid that no one can calm me down
And I'm just scared that no one will know how
To put me in my place
Oh to put me in my place
To put me in my place
To put me in my place
Where do I belong?"

He's all grown up, got a wife of his own
But he started a family now he's never home
She says, "How am I suppose to love, you're always out on the town
How's your daughter gonna know you if you won't come around?"

Goes to tuck her in, he can never see
And she turns to him, but it was only me

She says, "I'm afraid that no one can calm me down"
He said, "Baby I can't believe this, I think we finally found out how
To put me in my place
Oh to put me in my place
Oh won't you just put me in my place
Come on and put me in my place
Where we belong"

Irriducibili.....

Outlaws 

Joe Purdy 

one more drink before i split town
pulled up in a rose pink caddilac
he was singing with the top down
'girl from the north', dylan and johnny cash
he won the car in a card game, listened to the boss and keeps his clothes in a gunny sack
she said "tell you what, sailor, if you take me out of here
I'll do anything that you ask
cause I don't wanna die like the people down here
but I feel that I'm fading fast"

and he looked over to her chesnut hair
and said "I don't believe in love"
but he knew good and well she was the only girl there
so he figured it was close enough

and they hopped in the car, rolled the windows down far
and they headed through the desert plains
and she didn't even mind when they crossed the state line
and the sky opened up with rain
and they went three states before they even spoke a word
he leaned over just to ask her name
she said "take me to the sixty-one highway, sailor
and you can call me queen jane
cause the only thing I stole from the town was a crown
that I took from a beauty queen"

and he looked over to her deep green eyes
and knew that she was just as cold as him
so he went to the trunk, grabbed the pistol from the side
and told janey of his plan

and they went to the store, she put the gas in the car
he came out running with a case of beer
and he jumped in the back with the money in the sack
and janey, she took the wheel
and they went off in a blaze, in a sweet summer haze
to the bullets in the cashier
you keep your head down, sailor, cause I might need ya later
just holler if you can hear
cause I'm gonna need a man, not a farmer girl tan
and a caddilac souvenir

and they camped out by the railroad bridge
and they laid low all night
watched the sun come up over mercury ridge
from a hilltop out of sight

they hit five more banks and the small town safes
and they knew that they could get out fast
had the time of their life but they had to have a talk
cause they knew that it couldn't last
they made friends with the man at the mexico border
and they left him with a bag of cash
she said "tell you what, sailor, don't care about the paper
but I'm happy that we passed
cause I'm feeling pretty tired and i'm carrying a child
and we both need a rest"

and they settled down to a house in the water
where they would live to be old and grey
and many years later their kids are all older
and they tell 'em 'bout the good old days

And i've been...

watchin you watchin me....

Skinny Dippin Girl

.....the grass is always greener
On the lover’s side of town

Lover's Side Of Town - Joe Purdy



Once upon a broken heart
There’s a time for love
And a time the lover’s part
And it doesn't always work out.
The way that we planned
Did you really wanna know the way,
That all the movies end?
No

Mr. Moonlight won’t you take the rain away?
And leave me with the hope of a better day
No, sunshine don't you let me frown
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lover’s side of town

Midnight picture show, and
Love talk radio, just
Doesn't quite make up for
The ladies that I used to know
And, well some they wish me well
And some became my enemies
And some I told to go to hell
And some still haunt me in my dreams
Some still haunt me in my dreams

Mr. Moonlight won’t you take the rain away?
And leave me with the hope of a better day
No, sunshine don't you let me frown
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side of town
On the lovers side of town
Mmmmm

I am riding on the midnight train
Not sure exactly why I came
I am fine with just me and my guitar
But sometimes I am wishing for a little more
Just a little more

So little girl won't you sit by me?
Over here
So I can whisper sweet nothings in your ear
and I just
Just wanna listen to what you have to say
And we can tell the world that they can just fade away
They can fade away

Mr. Moonlight won’t you take the rain away?
And leave me with the hope of a better day
Ohhh, sunshine don't you let me frown
Cause I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side of
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side of town
On the lovers side of town
Ooooh, on the lovers side of town
On the lovers side of town

Faketown

....I wish the walls would come down
I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown,
faketown, faketown .......

Joe Purdy - Faketown






Billy’s been drivin’ all night
He’s got a dream
Wants to live up on the big screen
Well just like Jimmy Dean, he’s got his jacket on
And his hair combed just right
But there’s a hundred just like him in audition lines tonight

And I wish the walls would come down
I wish the walls would come down
I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown

Rosemary’s drivin’ downtown
For something that she heard from some talent scout
And she’s been workin’ all day
So she could pay for those pictures to be done up in the right way
And it was such a shame when he said that she was just another pretty face
He said no one ever gets no where
Without shakin’ it here or there
Honey life ain’t fair

I wish the walls would come down
I wish the walls would come down
I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown
This faketown

Well you can fix your face
You can fix your hair
You can fix your body with this needle here
And the world can walk around like a pack of wolves
And until you hear you’re good enough
That it ain’t your fault
You say it ain’t your time
You just weren’t cut out for the big time
Why don’t you try to be yourself
Theres things I have there that never sell
And I wish the walls would come down
I wish the walls would come down (x)
I wish the walls would come down on what’s left of this faketown, faketown, faketown

Mary May & Bobby - Joe Purdy

Mary May & Bobby - Joe Purdy






It was a fine day in the fifth grade
when Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school.
He had her books in hand,
and he was listening to every word she said
like it was the gospel of the prophecies.
And he loved the way her hair fell across her dress.
Went home singing, "Who wrote the book of love"
and try a little tenderness, yeah.

The next day on the playground,
Bobby sat Mary down on the swing set behind the sandbox
and she said, "Bobby I just want to play,
so what is this you have to say?"
He said, "Mary, marry me.
We could live out by the sea
like they do on the movie screen.
Oh, marry me, Mary May,
before you go back to play."

It was graduation day.
They were waiting on a plane to take Mary away.
Said, "There's nothing left for me here but you.
Bobby, I hope that you can find yourself through.
There's so much that I wish to know,
and I have to do this on my own
and I hope that you can understand.
Bobby, write me when you can.

He said, "Take my high school ring,
so time to time now you can think of me
and there's just one more thing before you leave..."

He said, "Mary, marry me
we could live out by the sea
Oh, like they do on the movie screen.
Oh, marry me, Mary May,
before you up and fly away."

There's so much time has passed since that day
and Mary stopped writing years ago
and Bobby never took his music on the road.
Guess he never really gave up hope.
Now Mary she's got everything she thought she wanted
got a Ph.D., she is an independent business woman
climbing up the corporate ladder
though it really don't seem to matter,
she is lonely beyond belief.
So one day she went home
looking for the only love she'd ever known.

She found him once again,
playing a circuit at the Holiday Inn,
still singing the song about the one he lost long ago.
Just goes to show, you never know.

She took his hand in hers
not everything she had planned and rehearsed.
She said, "Bobby, marry me.
We could live in a apartment building with a window view.
