Frank Carillo and the Bandoleros 'Someday' All Lyrics Roll the bones You took the bag of money out where the tall grass grows And never turned to take a second look I caught the boat to Paris for a brand new suit of clothes Where the tailor keeps his patrons on a hook Now my face is lined with travel My hair's a little grey And when you and I unraveled I really felt betrayed Chorus: so meet me down in London Town and we can roll the bones I'll meet you down in London Town But I'm leving there alone Meet me down in London Town We'll find your mother's grave I'll meet you down in London Town I'm gonna put you where she lay The game is love or money Sometimes they're both the same But you sweet breath never gave the game away You know, I should have known better I've got myself to blame But there's someting so exciting when we play Now a snake can paralyze you Your eyes can do the same Your touch is so enticing I near forgot my name I'm holding up in Chelsea, out by the Old King's Road And the barmaid there is still my one true love You know, she never asks for nothin' Just to pay her what I owe And she's got my back whenever things go rough so I'm waiting on you, honey It's the only move to make I had to make it personal That was my one mistake Chorus: so meet me down in London Town and we can roll the bones I'll meet you down in London Town But I'm leving there alone Meet me down in London Town We'll find your mother's grave ------------ Everything changes I rode the train to Glasgow to even up a score No matter how much luck you can have You always look for more Butt all the luck you can plunder won't always cinch the deal I only got to Glasgow just to hear the church bells peal I met a girl in Holland Velvet skin she had I couldn't understand her but it wasn't all that bad With Eye communication and some kind of ESP I met her in the morning and now she wants to marry me chorus: so give the dog his one good day And sly Ole Nick his due I'm gonna shake the road dust off my feet And roll back home and stay with you Now the rows of fine old houses condemned to turned to dust They need a space to build a place that's bound to rot and rust Or build a high-rise palace where kings can pay the fee But the rows of fine old houses are consigned to history I wonder who said it That the more things change, the more they stay the same Now I can't forget it I'm going back to from where I came A man, he told me one time God was his own best friend But he only loved the people who sent money in to him That made me kind of nervous, as I didn't have a cent But all the money you pile upon the earth In heaven won't make a dent chorus: so give the dog his one good day And sly Ole Nick his due I'm gonna shake the road dust off my feet And roll back home and stay with you ----------- Lucky if you can breathe She went down to the river to drown couldn't find a reason to stick around Couldn't find no angel looking for his wings Couldn't find a savior, couldn't find anyting With her heart all in pieves and her mind in a fog Stopped looking for answers a long time ago But somethings inside her cut through the gloom A little bit of light can chase the dark from a room And all you can do is hold on to you Chorus: You're lucky if you can breathe You're lucky if you can see What goes on all around Sometimes you're lucky just to be here (now) Open a window and let in some air Waiting for someone who'll never be there Loneliness leaves a soul bound and gagged Locked in a box labeled and tagged Put out the candles or the curtains will burn Everyone has to wait for a turn Patience can stick in you throat good and hard But sometimes you win with the very last card And all you can do is hold on to you Chorus: You're lucky if you can breathe You're lucky if you can see What goes on all around Sometimes you're lucky just to be here (now) She went down to the river to drown couldn't find a reason to stick around Couldn't find no angel looking for his wings Couldn't find a savior, couldn't find anyting And all you can do is hold on to you Chorus: You're lucky if you can breathe You're lucky if you can see What goes on all around Sometimes you're lucky just to be here (now) ------------- Someday Someday I'm gonna go back home Someday I'm gonna go back home I know this is not my home I know this is not my home I hear voices through the veil I hear voices through the veil All my life I could here them wail All my life I could here them wail Someday peace will rule this place Someday peace will rule this place Get your ticket and stake your claim Don't leave your brothers and your sisters outside the gates Now see that light inside your head If you close your eyes you see the light inside your head You're gonna have to really look so hard But that's the shining light of God Someday I'm gonna go back home Someday I'm gonna go back home I know this is not my home I know this is not my home ---------------- Somebody poisoned the well You could see it coming from miles away But everybody's eyes were closed You could hear the rumbling all through day But everybody's eyes were closed With a dirty little rumor blowing down street All the idols falling down at your feet You hear the drums but you can't feel the beat And everybody's eyes were closed Up on Hangman's Hill a party's going on Somebody poisoned the well You can drink your fill but you won't see the dawn Somebody poisoned the well No one understands you when you speak in tongues everything's a riddle when no answer comes You danced a naked tango: and I played along While somebody poisoned the well Chorus: Oh yeah Something's gonna break I can even smell it, can feel it shake Oh yeah, something's gonna break Something's gonna break right now Baby, please believe me and open up your eyes Listen to what I've got to tell You can sleep tomorrow but tonight we ride 'Cause somebody poisoned the well Oh yeah Something's gonna break I can even smell it, can feel it shake Oh yeah, something's gonna break Something's gonna break right now Everyone is staring at a rose-colored moon They're just standing around You can see by their faces that they don't have a clue And nobody's making a sound But I've got this book op poems by The Liverpool Scene It's with me most of the time The pictures are suggestive but the words are pretty clean I know most every line And if you string them all together you can crack the code The mistics and the poets always seem to know Which way all the dust is gonna blow That's gonna poison the well Oh yeah Something's gonna break I can even smell it, can feel it shake Oh yeah, something's gonna break Something's gonna break right now Oh yeah Something's gonna break I can even smell it, can feel it shake Oh yeah, something's gonna break Something's gonna break right now ----------- Gotta be you Somebody's gonna get to heaven and its gotta be you There ain't no doubt about it it's gotta be you Somebody's gonna get to heaven and its gotta be you 'Cause it sure as hell won't be me They got just one more halo And they save it for you A pretty little halo They saved it for you They got just one more halo And they saved it for you They sure didn't save it for me Well, sweet salvation moving down that mystic mile But just a little meter out of reach I thought my dirty deeds were hidden all the while But the tide just did a U-turn and washed 'em all up on the beach Somebody's gonna get to heaven and its gotta be you No doubt about it Got be you Somebody's gonna go to heaven and its gotta be you It sure as hell won't be me There's a angel on your shoulder and it's dancing for you It's shaking like the L-train He's dancing for you There's a angel on your shoulder and it's dancing for you He isn't dancing for me Somebody's gonna go to heaven and its gotta be you There ain't no doubt about it Got be you Somebody's gonna go to heaven and its gotta be you It sure as hell won't be me ------------------ The way out The shining blue driver said to the boy The time has come to make your choice The road ahead, or what lies behind Sooner or later you've got to make up your mind The driver gave him a part to play What's gonna happen's gonna happen anyway You can't kill what never dies So, do what you have to and open your eyes There's a fine line between lift and right The good and the bad, darkness and light Chorus: But, love is the way out, love is the way out Love is the way out and the way back in. The boy looked really hard at the faces he knew Itching to rumble their greedy eyes grew At the prize before them A kingdom to steal This whole thing's a dream, but it seems so damned real There's a fine line that runs through your brain Which way you take it is anyone's game, but Chorus: But, love is the way out, love is the way out Love is the way out and the way back in. The babble is always, raging inside Fed by desire, hatred and pride Lies are the engines, envy is king When you lust for an outcome, make you do anything Chorus: But, love is the way out, love is the way out Love is the way out and the way back in. But, love is the way out, love is the way out Love is the way out and the way back in. ------------- Darkness everywhere The mist is on the river And the fog in on the road And all the little children are fast asleep at home The night plays tricks on your senses There's something cold out there I can feel the darkness everywhere I look for friendly faces There's not one to be found An old man picks through paper bags While he says his prayers out loud A postman leaves some picture cards At the bottom of the stairs I can feel the darkness everywhere I fond an old love letter By the garden wall It was signed "forever yours" But you were never mine at all No one could stake a claim to you I guess that's only fair I can feel the darkness everywhere The key is hanging by the door The window's open wide The smell of winter fills my head I guess I'll stay inside And tie up all you left behind with a ribbon from your hair I can feel the darkness everywhere -------------- I'll stay right here When they Start the revolution, take a lot of pictures Tell me when the city falls You can watch it through the smoke and all the tears Someone's got a matchbox, lighting up the night sky Really nothing I can do Maybe watch it through the smoke and all the years Take my ticket to the harbor You can have it, use it for yourself I'll just sit here by the fire Sip my tea Look out from my chair It's not that I don't care But I'll stay right here dogs are in the front yard Barking at the night sky They can feel it in their bones They're not gonna take a chance by staying home Hate and religion Is a funny combination Like saying 2 and 2 make five But if you want to make it 5 keep throwing stones I've been dancing on a wire So much business taking up my time Something urgent, that I must do you can go It's not that I don't care I know I paid the fare I'll stay right here --------------- Eastern Time The writing's on the railroad station wull I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall Waiting all night for a call to come We're supposed to meet in San Antone She left the party early, said she flies alone Lookin'at my watch my skin begins to crawl but she's moving on Eastern Time Slippin Immigraion and cross the dateline she's moving on Eastern Time Hong Kong, Bangkok, Mumbai train Looking for the jewel to fit the chain The incense trail always leaves a clue I hear footsteps up ahead, I think Palms are getting'sweaty, I could use a drink Move on buddy, I've got no time for you I'm running on Eastern Time slippin'immigration Cross that date line Now I'm running on Eastern Time I'm standing in alley in old Kowloon I've got a gun in my pocket and the police in my room I can't go back to the hotel now I wonder what she did with the jade Quan Yin Did she mean to get it out or smuggle it back in We don't talk, I guess we don't know how -------------- Don't get Sammy started Airport lines, good French wine Trying to find a place to dine Luggage in the van and broken strings Napster has a fan for life He's out dancing with his wife Overlords and shakin underlings If you still have some respect for the dear departed Don't get Sammy started (again) Aisle scat, count the miles Storage bins corrupted files Maybe there's a place to hang a hat Overhead is filled again this conspiracy is wearng thin He found another way for burning fat The northern border guard was left unguarded Don't get Sammy started The front seat's made for torture, boys don't check the sound, check the noise Separate the good books from the chaff Wheel the bags right through the door I've slept here many time before The driver's dying trying to make him laugh The highway's not for everyone The AC's always set for stun Wake up call is 5:15 again The read can have a quiet charm The chili here is five-alarm There's another truck stop just around the bend St. Cosmo and the blues have both been martyred Don't get Sammy started so don't forget your cell phone, son I know just what makes Sammy run There's something hidden in the oatmeal tin I'm driving out from LAX I'll take the cash forget the checks There's something crawling underneath my skin Anything you need can be bartered Don't get Sammy started ------------ Burn the whole house down I can hear the black crow call From the top of the city hall If you are aware at all You better listen for the sound When they burn the whole house down From hell men up to fancy gents some twisted minds and malcontents Selling smiles, collecting rents In every town They're gonna burn the whole house down The globe is spinning on the edge A jumper's standing on the ledge I lost my wallet in the hedge The beams are burning in the church The vultures nestle on their perch You've gone and left me in the lurch again Big shot don't know how it feels To have to lick at someone's heels Just to try and get a meal Better take a look around Before they burn the whole house down Ashes floating in the air It's getting hot but no one cares I should be bound for anywhere You can watch the ships come in The engines making quite a din They're gonna ask you where you've been again I can hear the black crow call From the top of the city hall If you are aware at all You better listen for the sound When they burn the whole house down ------------------ The blue room He was younger than the springtime It was just approaching fall When he heard the spangles talking from a poster on the wall He should have moved a little closer To read the real fine print He felt a tap, tap on his shoulder But he never got the hint And everyone was signing and lining up to go He left his girlfriend lying here Face down in the road So they all got on that big bus There was something in the air To ride the golden Highway you have to pay the fare Call it big adventure Test you destiny You better learn to be real clever When you ship puts out to sea And all the while the crowd was cheering, waiting for the dawn But no one there was really sure just what was going on Chorus: Step into the blue Room A voice rang from above Step into the blue room And we'll show you the Golden Dove. The campaign was succesful It really pulled them in It's really very easy? All you do is change the spin The razorbacks look hungry in their suits and ties You can promise anything Just don't look 'em in the eyes No ones'feeling guilty when they drop the dime Just dress it up in gold lamé It's gets 'em every time Chorus: Step into the blue Room A voice rang from above Step into the blue room And we'll show you the Golden Dove. All the creatures in the boardroom Laugh until they're sick While the bloodless airbrush out the lines to make the whole thing stick You don't know what you're getting when you take a bite But you grind your teeth and hear those jingles in your head at night While you hair is oh so shiny and your belly's getting fat You forget to ask the questions You don't even smell the rat When they said Step into the blue Room A voice rang from above Step into the blue room And we'll show you the Golden Dove. Step into the blue Room A voice rang from above Step into the blue room And we'll show you the Golden Dove. ------------ Glass heroes I didn't know what was true But I found out like I always do Just a little too late, again. Sometimes it's hard to change you mind What you believed, but then you find Was just a pretty story you've been told chorus: All the heroes are made of glass Noting lasts Fading fast All the hearoes are made of clay Here today Just to wash away One by one I've watchd them go They disappeared like puffs of smoke Another pretty story to be told And all this time I fooled myself Into believing something else As I slowly watch the circle close chorus: All the heroes are made of glass Noting lasts Fading fast All the hearoes are made of clay Here today Just to wash away The things I feel Disappointment doesn't show Srumbling over words So hard to let it go I've got love all around The only thing that I've found That will stay with me wherever I go chorus: All the heroes are made of glass Noting lasts Fading fast All the hearoes are made of clay Here today Just to wash away -------
